President Skip Wolfe
T
he Voice from the Trunk is back! I appreciate everyone’s patience, and help in getting us
back on track (no pun intended). As you know, Noah Wheeler stepped in to help with the
newsletter last year, but had other commitments and was not able to continue. We have
decided to take a team approach to the newsletter to take over from where he left off and have
split the editor into two positions – a coordinator who is charged with getting content for the
newsletter and then the editor who will put the issue together. Les Checel, who was editor for
7 years has agreed to take over the editing duties once again and his right hand will be RuAn
Thompson. The club couldn’t be in better hands with Les and RuAn and we should return to the
normal schedule. In addition to the team of Les and RuAn taking over the Voices, we also gave
the newsletter a bit of a makeover! It has been some time since the look and feel of the Voices
has substantially changed, so we took advantage of the hiatus to have a designer go through and
refresh the style and create a template that can be used going forward.
We have had a nice group of events since the last voices including the Holiday Party at the House
of Blues and the outstanding band Abby Normal. Next we had the ever popular Whirlyball event,
followed by two very well attended events: a tech session at R&H with close to 100 people, and the
new Member Party at Porsche of Beachwood with 130+ people (lots of photos of that event in this
issue.)
The driving season started with the annual Car Control Clinic/Autocross school at Lakeland where
we had a good turnout given the very sketchy spring weather. The first DE of the season will have
happened by the time of the printing of this issue, but we are expecting a great turnout for the DE as
well as dinner at Bucks, a local track hangout restaurant.
Our next big event is the Stoddard Swap Meet and Car Show on June 6th. This event has really been
growing over the past couple years and last year’s car show was bigger than ever. This is a very casual
show and shine type of car show so you don’t have to be a concours expert to participate. Just give
your car a good wash and wax and come on up. It’s fun to just be able to see everyone’s cars, and to
check out the vendors selling everything Porsche. It’s a perfect way to spend a summer Saturday
and kick off the summer car show season!
We are working on putting together a Porsche Parade tech session with a casual show and shine so
keep an eye on your email, the club’s website and the club’s Facebook page for details. Our Social
Chair, Jon Sabo, is also putting together some house parties and other social events for the summer
so stay tuned for lots of club happenings!

Around the Zone
Michael Soriano
Around The Zone
Greetings PCA Zone 4 Members,
According to PCA Concours Chair Paul Gilbreath, there has not been a National Concours
Judges School held in approximately 10 years, and PCA Concours Chair Ron Gordon has
confirmed that there has never been a National Concours Judges School held in Zone 4. So it
is with great pleasure that I am able to announce to you that after months of planning, hard
work, and a little lobbying, I was able to secure our zone’s first National Concours Judges
School, which was recently held on a beautiful weekend in Dayton, Ohio.
At the Monterey Parade, Zone 13 Representative James Jacisin and I recognized that there
was a need to properly train a new generation of Concours Judges and to make sure that
they were trained with both quality and consistency. With the 2015 Parade being held in
French Lick, Indiana, James and I felt this was the perfect opportunity for us to work together.
When I sent out the announcement, the response was so outstanding that I had to see
if we could significantly increase the number of students. The PCA Concours Chairs and
Instructors enthusiastically obliged my request.
A casual and fun Welcome Dinner was arranged at the car themed Quaker Steak and Lube
the Friday evening before the event. On Saturday morning, 53 Zone 4 members representing
10 of the 12 regions participated in the school, which was held at the extremely unique
and entertaining Taj Ma Garaj, the perfect venue for such an event. The day began with
the students receiving an overview of each of the classes Preparation, Preservation, and
Restoration as well as an explanation of the categories: Street, Touring, and Full from the
highly qualified instructors John Diwik, Rich Laurie, Pat Yanahan, and Hank Weil. Following
the introductory presentations, the students proceeded to their individual classrooms for
hands on instruction according to the 2015 PCR (Parade Competition Rules) and completed
the day with a practice concours using the Parade scoring sheets.
I would like to thank Walter Chin, C. Steven Nelson, and Deniece Chin for all of their hard work
and effort in assisting me. I would also like to thank Ms. Vickie Dixon for generously donating
the use of this outstanding facility to Zone 4 in order for us to host and conduct this very
important National event.
I feel this will be very beneficial to Zone 4 as it will allow us to increase the number of our
nationally trained judges within the zone. In addition, these judges will be able to bring their
|6|
new skill set back to the regions, which will serve to strengthen their region’s own concours
programs.
The fun and good times are definitely in full swing throughout all of the regions within the
Zone. I have already visited many of the regions and have attended over 16 events, including
spending time on the track, social gatherings and meetings. I always enjoy having the
opportunity to spend time with and interact with PCA members. As I visit each region I am
always reminded that for me the PCA motto is so true, It’s not just the cars, it’s the people!
This month many of us will travel to French Lick, IN, to participate in the 60th annual Porsche
Parade, a nationally organized week long extravaganza of competitive and non-competitive
events.
Be sure to check your local region’s website and newsletter, as well as the Zone 4 website
http://zone4.pca.org for the latest details on the many events close to you that are being
planned. Also, consider attending other regions’ events, such as:
•

hose of you who have been Voices readers for several years are probably saying, “Oh no,
not HIM again”, but yes, More of Les is back at the editor’s desk. To you who are relative
newcomers to NOR, I put our newsletter together from the fall of 2004 to springtime in 2012.
At that point I was literally burned out of the job by a residential fire that caused loss of desktop
publishing capability.
The interruption of Voices publication for the past several months bothered me greatly, so when
President Skip asked me to step up to assist in resumption, I agreed to do so on a temporary basis. By
temporary I meant until a long term replacement can be sourced by a new NOR Board of Directors
which will take over club management in January 2016.
In the interim Voices will be co-produced by RuAn Thompson and me. RuAn has the more difficult job
of collection of the monthly content, while I will assemble the material into a newly constructed Adobe
InDesign template designed by a graphics pro associated with our Pres, Skip Wolfe. I’m told it will look
21st Century spiffy. RuAn and I will take over for real in June.
As usual at this time of the year I am thinking about the Porsche Parade which will be held in French Lick
Indiana in June. It will be my 48th and since it is relatively close to home, I am leaning toward taking the
356SC. It has a fresh set of PMB calipers installed, so other than a tune-up it should be up to the 7 hour
trip. I am happy to see that at the time of this writing there are 18 other NOR members registered. There
are tentative plans to hold a “goers” meeting in May/June to talk about Parade preparation. Those of us
who are veterans might be able to offer tips on how to make your experience more enjoyable. Be on
the lookout for more meeting details from Jon Sabo and Skip.
As our driving season ramps up in the coming months I hope to see many of you along the way!
