Our esteemed past president Russ
Hildebrand seen here while running the track
at Laguna Seca during the US sports Car
Invitational October 3-5. On top of a lot of
Porsche racing there was a variety of cars
racing in various categories from vintage CanAm cars, vintage Nascar autos all the way to
Mini’s with their somewhat aggravating
whine. There was also a Concours held on
Sunday, October 5. The Porsche Corral had
a good turnout and was quite impressive.
Everyone had a great deal of fun after the
weather decided to turn friendly on
Saturday. There will be more on the USSCI
in the nest Drifter issue.

Calling all Porsches
On The Pole
By Kim Nelson
President
Charity Auction – First Impression
Well, I went to my first SVR Charity Auction
in September and for the benefit of our newer
members and for those of you who haven’t been
before, I thought I’d talk a little bit about my
impressions.
First of all, I didn’t read the fine print (anything 10 pt. or under nowadays is fine print to
me) and left my lawn chair at home and my
picnic lunch – well that’s another story. But, it
didn’t take long for Dennis Stettner to give me
an extra chair and for Cindi Breaux to give me
an extra lunch she had packed just in case someone had forgotten theirs.
Now the fun began. There must have been
between 60 and 70 club members who showed
up for the auction and I was amazed at the
number and variety of items that were on hand
to be auctioned off. Niello donated quite a few
Porsche related items and other donations included things like golf lessons, beautiful hand
carved wooden bowls, weekend trips to various places, glassware, wine, beautifully framed
art, stuff for the garage – well, you get the picture – there was something for everyone.
Our auctioneers, Larry Wilson and Kirk
Bradford, were a crack up and kept everyone
entertained for hours. True to form with our
club, there were a couple of items where the
bidding got pretty darn competitive and you
just had to realize that “it’s all for charity”. But
for the most part, there were some good deals
to be had. I know I got a great Porsche blanket
that was donated by Niello and a two-ton floor
jack that was donated by Roger Walker. Hey,
everybody needs two floor jacks for the garage
so they can jack up the front and back end of
the car at the same time.
When all was said and done, we raised about
$3600.00 that will be split between the Susan
G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and the
National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. Not bad
for an afternoon of fun and camaraderie.
I’d like to thank Kern and Cindi Breaux for
all their hard work in putting this event together for us this year and encourage all of you
to come out next year and enjoy the afternoon
with your fellow club members and help SVR’s
charity efforts.

With 580 plus members in our club I know
that we have a lot of beautiful and interesting
Porsches out there. We see some of them from
time-to-time on tours, autocrosses, Concours,
CRAB and other club activities. But a lot of
these cars have stories; stories about how they
were purchased, about their restoration, about
being picked up from the factory, about special
trips taken and memories made, etc.
On our recent new member tour I was
talking with Ray and Betty Silva who drive a
beautiful new Boxster. While we were talking,
Ray casually mentioned that in the early 80’s
he bought a 1951 split window 356 project car
and that he now finally has the time to start
the restoration. For those of you who know
me, you know that my favorite Porsche model
is the 356 and in 1951 Porsche made fewer
than 1000 cars total. These cars are so rare
now that there is a group of people from around
the world who have formed the 356 Split Window Registry. And we have one right here in
the Sacramento area. Pretty cool!
But I know we have a lot of other special
Porsches out there that have gone through
painstaking restorations, have been picked up
at the factory and then driven around Europe
before being shipped back to the states, have
interesting race histories or have given their
owners the “ride of their lives” on the race track.
I’d like to suggest and encourage all of you out
there that have a story about you car to share it
with the club. Let us get to know you and
your Porsche a little bit better by writing an
article with photo about your car for the Drifter. I think it would be fun reading and a great
addition to the Drifter. Give me a call or email if you have any questions and send your
articles to our Drifter Editor Steve Goltz at
sgoltz@sbcglobal.net.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS
AND TRANSFERS!
New member TTour
our
We had a great New Member tour lead by
David Sheppard, and a picnic at the Montevina winery. It was a pleasure getting to know
some of our new members and also getting
them to know us. Hopefully they learned
enough about this club to want to get involved.
Twice each year the Sacramento Valley Region
sponsors a free tour and lunch for it’s new members. The purpose of this event is to help acquaint the new members with the club and its
officers, explain it’s activities, answer any questions and have a pleasant afternoon outing.
The next New Member Tour will be in May.
If you missed this one you are still welcome to
join us in the next tour.
To all you new members, I urge you to just
come out to any of the events. We have tours,
autocrosses, concours, social events, something
for everyone almost every month. SVR is one
A Few Reminders
In this issue you’ll find the election form for
the 2004 Board of Directors and in the December Drifter there will be a membership
questionnaire. Please take a few minutes and
vote for the board members (if for no other reason than to show your support and appreciation
for the time and energy they put into the club)
Also, I would like to encourage you to come
out this year for our annual Christmas party at the Sutter Club. We always have a lot of
fun at this annual event and I think this year is
going to be pretty special.

The Drifter
Fuchs Wheel Refinishing
By Harvey Weidman
WEIDMANS WHEELS
Fuchs Wheels
First to narrow the subject down a bit we will
be looking at the Fuchs wheel from 1967 –
1989.
Originally referred to as “S” wheels they were
later known as Fox Head, Daisy Spoke, ‘S’ package and Fuchs. Today most people refer to
them as Fuchs even though many other styles
were available from the Fuchs Forging Company.
Narrow Wheels
The first 911 alloy wheel was available on the
1967 911S and was 4.5" wide. It was basically
the same size and offset as the steel wheels. It
is unique among the Porsche wheels in that no
other wheel is painted like it. It has a dart of
black from the lug hole to the cooling hole.
This paint was put on with the aid of a mask
and was touched up with a brush as needed.
As wheel size became larger with the introduction of the 5.5" wheels on the 1968 model
cars the wheels were dipped in black paint to
produce a definitive spoke and outer rim design.
Race Car Wheels
In the early 70’s racecars and the legendary
1973RS was available with solid painted (black
or color) centers with the outer rim and offset
exposed as anodized. These wheels were painted with a mask.
Small aside: the 9" and 11" wheels found on
race cars were not polished on the tops of the
spokes because the wheels are too deep and, as
the racing department manager once put it,
“they only have to look like Porsche wheels
from the grandstand”.
The Drifter
Polishing Change
Painting Choices
The amount of polishing on rims changed
when 16" diameter wheels were introduced.
The wheel is polished down to the center before anodizing. A 15" version of this wheel
finish was also made available. It is usually
found on the first generation 944 but was also
made available on 911 and is standard on many
anniversary models.
Although most wheels were originally dipped
in paint it is better to mask. Dipping is costly
and they turn out just like the factory with runs,
thin spots, fish eyes and usually they are crooked. The factory paint varies as much as 8mm
from wheel to wheel sometimes from side to
side on the same wheel. Spray paint is more
controllable and it turns out better.
Wheel Finish
Choose the Paint Carefully
To understand how to refinish Fuchs wheels
we will briefly look at how they were originally
done. Subsequent to the forging process rough
areas were ground away, the wheel was then
polished, anodized and painted. Reproducing
this is difficult primarily because the wheel
must be returned to the raw starting point.
Choosing the right primers and paint is very
important. The correct amount of etch, finding out that all blacks are not the same and
trying to get the correct percentage of flattener
can be frustrating. The hard part is matching
the sheen of the original black. Each sample
must be baked before it’s reflecting ability can
be measured and compared to a factory samRefinishing
Now to the refinish process. First, all paint ple. In our experience we’ve found that a low

ishing wheels correctly is a complicated job.

The cap hole is where most tire shops center specialty shop, one that knows Fuchs wheels.

regular advertisers with an Ad on page 17. Harvey and Sue Weidman work together at
Weidman’s Wheels in Oroville, California.
They have specialized in correct restoration and/
Finishing
Once cleaned the anodizing process is begun or custom painted Porsche and all other wheels
or if the wheels are to be left at high polish for more than 25 years
then it’s time to mask and paint.
The second step in the refinishing process is
grinding, polishing and buffing. After this step
the wheels are cleaned with clean solvent or
lacquer thinner.

Charity Auction
By Kerner Breaux
SVR Member
2. Halloween costumes that brought out the
best bids by the Keegan's after being "modeled" by Kirk, however there was an inducement from the entire bidding audience for him
to do so before he acquiesced--an extra $100!!!
I guess we all now know Kirk's modeling
price!!!!!
3. The 20 years of Pano magazines that had
Ric Larson bidding against Pat Wilson's invisible bidding partner--yet having the winning bid.
4. The Temple Gong--this item has a story
behind it--actually the bidding for it--it seems
that an item (a Fu Dog) that was won by some
Charity Auction--Results are in!!
Another fantastic job by our "Auctioneers Extraordinaire," Kirk and Larry brought out the
best in the relatively small (about twenty-five)
bidders for the various items brought to the
auction tables. It ceases to amaze me how this
club responds to this particular event every year
and the generosity that flows . Thirty-six Hundred (that's right, $3,600) was raised for the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
and the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
Auction Items
The items up for bid were numerous and I don't
think any one could remember all the items
that there. However, there were items that I
recall specifically that might entertain those that
were not in attendance:
1. Marv & Marie Smith, perennial donors of
hand carved wood bowls, plates, cups, sconces, mushrooms, etc., plus marvelous cookies and
munchies always bring out spirited bidding, and
as Chilli said "Squatty, just bid $150 for the
bowl and you will get it"--damned if he wasn't
right!!!

members at the "White Elephant" dinner a year
and a half ago, was "coveted" by another member but, alas, the winners had the last number
and she lost out. Both parties were at this year's
auction and when appraised of the Temple
Gong, both of them wanted it. "That will go
nicely in our home," and "that's going home
with me come hell or high water since I really
wanted the Fu Dog and didn't get it!" Talk
about spirited bidding---this was great!!!!!!!! I
think this item drew the highest bid of all the
items at $280!
Great Event
As I said I can't remember all the items, but
this event is one of the most fun events the
club puts on each year. Not only are some of
the items priceless but the "banter" amongst
the bidders just keeps getting funnier and funnier each year. You could come out and just
listen to the remarks and think you were in a
night club full of comedians each trying to out
do each other. If this event is every recorded it
would be a comedic hit!!! The best ones, however are the auctioneers--if you
have never attended this event,
you have missed out on a lot
of humor and some pretty
amazing articles up for bid and
the "skills" used to sell them
are worth the price of admission--which is free!!!
Thanks
As chairman of this event
for the third of fourth time,
I would be remiss if I didn't
thank those who helped put
on this event, Ric Larson, Phil
Lawrence, Dennis Stettner,
Kirk Bradford, Larry Wilson,
my son KJ and my wife
Cindi. I am also privileged to
belong to a club that opens
their hearts and wallets to
those people who due to
unforeseen circumstances
need help. Thank all of you
that attended this event and
gave so generously.

Board
Meeting
Highlights
By Tom Sisson
SVR Secretary
SEPT
.24, 2003 BOARD MEETING
SEPT.24,
Call TTo
o Order:
The President called the meeting to order at
6:10 P.M. at RPM Motorsports. Present were:
Members Kim Nelson, Dennis Stettner, Barbara McCrory, Tom Sisson, Roger Turner,
Katherine Sheppard, Steve Goltz, Doug
DeVetter, Russ Hildebrand, and Bill Thorp
constituting a quorum. Also in attendance
were Tim Fleming, Bill Keegan, Kathy Smalley, and Rik Larson.
Old Business:
Minutes of the meeting of August 27, 2003
were approved as submitted.
Reports on the inventory of Club flags, banners and Event of the Year
Awards- deferred until a later meeting.
New Business:
Membership Questionnaire Update-The
questionnaire will try to rate current activities
as well as determine interest for other types of
activities and will be combined with the upcoming ballot to increase participation for both.
As an additional incentive to participate, responders will get ½ off the cost of the January
planning and dinner meeting. A “review” copy
of the questionnaire will be sent to Board members in the near future.
Upcoming Elections-There are candidates
for all elected Board positions in 2004.
November Board Meeting- The November
and December Board Meetings will be combined into one meeting on December 3, 2003.
Board Member Reports:
Treasurer- The financial reports were reviewed and accepted.
Membership Director-Reports were submitted showing seven new members and those
members whose memberships have or are
about to expire. The Director is going to contact National to see if “exit” information is
obtained on dropping members.
Goodie Store-There were $174 in sales in
the September period, and $121.44 in expenditures.
Social Director-The Charity Auction was
successful, raising about $1700 for each of the
charities. Funds are provided by National to
help in putting on charitable events. Since these
were not used for this event, they will be requested for the Christmas Party.

Carrera de Sierra had about 25 participants ,
of which 13 were on the rally. Upcoming events
include the October golf and dinner meeting,
the Silver Star Swap Meet, the Octoberfest
Progressive Dinner Tour, The Mare Island
Tour, and the Mendocino Tour.
Competition Director--Bill Thorp is working on autocrosses for 2004. Joint ventures between SVR and both Sierra Nevada and
Yosemite Regions appear promising. October
also has the last two Zone autocrosses of the
year at Millerton Lake near Fresno. Unfortunately, that conflicts with SVR’s Octoberfest.
Drifter Editor- The October Drifter is about
to be mailed. An effort is being made to find
an “Assistant Drifter Editor” so that there
would always be someone trained to take over
as Drifter Editor.
Webmaster-Doug DeVetter has recruited
Mark Sides to become Webmaster in 2004.
Mark is working with Doug now to” learn the
ropes”.

Drifter is to include a specific ad alerting members to this service—if usage does not improve
the service will be cancelled.

Zone 7 representative, Tim Fleming. Tim reported that long time SVR member, Lowell
Irwin, had passed away. Tim was on the National nominating committee and got in on the
interviews.Additional information on use of the
trademark Porsche crest and script will be
forthcoming in the near future.There may be
as many as 1500 cars at the Parade in Hershey,
PA. for PCA’s50th Anniversary. It is important to keep in mind why you joined PCA in
the first place.
Next Meeting Date- The next meeting will
be at 6:10 P.M. on Wednesday, December 3,
2003 at RPM Motorsports, Hwy 50 and
Bradshaw.

IT’S TURKEY TIME!
Thanksgiving is almost on us. Don’t be a Turkey—buy something from your friendly
Goodie Store.
The “hot” deal of the month are the great denim shirts with the SVR logo at $35 each, just in
time for cooler weather and Christmas presents (or even Thanksgiving presents-hey, start a new
trend.)
And for those that think you are already “hot”, the SVR logo polo shirts are really great in
various colors—only $30.
No money for the Goodie Store, you say. Well, we can’t help you get more money, but we can
provide some trivia about money, etc.
Why do dimes, quarters and half dollars have notched edges, while pennies and nickels do not?
The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins containing gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of the precious metals. Dimes, quarters and
half dollars are notched because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels aren't notched
because the metals they contain were not valuable enough to shave.
--------------------Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?
Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense, orange clay called pygg. When
people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became know as "pygg banks." When an
English potter misunderstood the word, he made a bank that resembled a pig and it caught on.
---------------------See, when spend money on Goodie Store items, you also get all this wonderful information!
We hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving Day feast! GOBBLE, GOBBLE!

SVR Drifter Editor
Stumpy Mountain Lake we discovered that Pat
and Larry Wilson were in Chatereaux, France
at the same time as Linda in the 1950’s. (Larry
working, Linda thinking about starting kindergarten.) THAT led to a few stories!
The point is that if we hadn’t gone on the tour
we would have missed out on a great tour and
better companionship.
Sounds Like Fun, BUT

BUT...

How many times have I heard that? Too many!
I used to hear it at home a lot as well, Linda, if
she wanted to go to the monthly dinner meeting, on a tour or other club sponsored functions. However, the more we participated, the
more we enjoyed the activities and the other
club members.
When we went on the Tahoe tour Tom Sisson
mentioned that the wear on my armrests was a
warranty item. Now I have new armrests in
my Boxster! If we had stayed home my armrests would be the same and I would be looking on-line for Arctic Silver armrests. (I already
checked.)
The Spice of Life
SVR has a variety of members that is far greater and far more interesting than I would have
thought. Linda and I have been members for
just over a year and are continually amazed by
the variety of people we continue meeting. Of
course, it’s also great to see and participate in
functions with those we currently know and
love as well.
Same old people, new things
I am continually amazed at what we find out
about each other. While picnicking alongside
It’ll be Fun
When I was doing the ad for the Mare Island
Tour Linda looked over my shoulder and told
me we should go, sounds like fun! When the
monthly dinner meeting rolls around it is no
longer a question of whether we will go only a
matter of what we are going to eat that night at
the meeting. It is no longer sounds like fun,
but... Now it’s more like... Let’s go, it’ll be fun!
