October may be a spooky month, but don’t be afraid of not having enough Porsche related fun. With the cooler weather, it’s a great month to enjoy your car with your Roadrunner friends. Santa Fe will be overrun with amazing 356 Porsches from the 9th through the 14th. The 356 West Coast Holiday Event will be put on by the 356 club. Many members also belong to the PCA. Check in on this event, they will be in need of volunteers during the week. PCA Escape to Los Angeles will run from the 24th till the 26th. If you are going to attend, I hope you have already registered and made arrangements by now. The Carrera Region puts on its Oktoberfiesta in Las Cruces the weekend of the 25th. Registration has been open since mid-September at motorsportreg.com. Hurry and register your spot and make hotel reservations. A DE will be arranged at The Arroyo Seco Raceway. The autocross event at Oktoberfiesta is part of our regions Die Series, and will count as a points event. Instructors will be available if you have never driven this venue, or just want tips. We were unfortunate to not have another autocross in Farmington this year. Due to heavy rain, and flooding our venue canceled our event the day before we were scheduled. Due to the lack of time in the year and the other autocross events planned, we will not reschedule a Farmington make up this year. This leaves only two more chances to gain points in this year’s series. Great news for the Roadrunner Region, Ann Mulhern Waller and Steve Waller have volunteered to manage the club’s website. Ann has had a full service advertising agency in Albuquerque for the past 30 years. Many long term clients include Blake’s Lotaburger, Ron Bell, Montano Acura, the YMCA, and Baca’s Trees. She has extensive experience working with clients to create and place all types of advertising, production and printing; design and manage her client’s websites and also to create a complete online presence for her client’s businesses. Steve and Ann became members of RRR last winter and when Tony wanted to give up the website management a few months ago, they stepped forward. Steve is the Porsche person of the two as well as a skilled writer with excellent communication skills. He has been a Novartis Pharmaceutical Sales Consultant for more than 32 years and is a Porsche enthusiast by choice. Tony has been working with Steve & Ann to show them the workings of our existing website. We don’t really expect to see any big changes in the way you receive information or the timeliness in which you get your club information. If you do see a mistake Ann would like to always be alerted of it so it can be corrected as soon as possible. But other than that feel free to send your club information to the regular email address: webmaster@roadrunner-region-pca. org and Ann will respond. Tony Richey will continue to make improvements and adjustments on the technical side of the website. It is a two year award winning website, but Tony has some ideas he would like to add. For now, best wishes to everyone. Page 5 Roadrunner Ramblings October 2013 Put Your Thinking-Cap On!!!! What do YOU want to do?

Autocross chair: Lee Stauffacher at psperformance@ymail.com Social chair: Dennis Chamberlain at denchamber@me.com Tech chair: Don Vichick at davichick@comcast.net TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) Rally Time! From Tony Richey TSD Rally – That’s “Time, Speed, Distance” for the uninitiated, a group in which I include myself! Nevertheless, Harry Season and I participated in the TSD Rally in the Salt Lake City Parade a last year, and thought this would be a lot of fun for Roadrunners. Fortunately, Roadrunner Paul Friedman, in addition to being an experienced wheel to wheel racer, is also a TSD Rally aficionado. He and I (mostly he) have created a Rally course in Northern Albuquerque, and there will be an official Roadrunner Rally on November 23rd . Just as important, we’ll hold two Rally Classes the week before the event. Saturday, November 16th, during the day (time and place to be announced), and on Thursday evening, November 21st (time and place to be announced), Paul will conduct these classes to explain the way TSD Rally works, giving out valuable information regarding the timing of the event, as well as the verbiage of the instructions. The huge success of the TSD Rally during Fiesta this year is another reason to keep this going. We’re inviting other car clubs to join us, as this should be fun for all. Cost is $10 per car to defray the expense of paying for lunch for the checkpoint workers. Please RSVP to Tony so we can plan for the three separate events. This Rally will qualify for end-of-year Die Serie points for your Rally participation, so get ready! It’s time to Rally!

The Roadrunner Region is recognized as a Class III sized region, meaning that it has between 200 and 500 primary members (not counting associates in this total for classification). Though our region is growing faster and faster and is now over the 300 member level, it is a small group of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers who keep the region going and growing. Voting to recognize those dedicated volunteers is your way to recognize the people whose work allows everyone to have fun. Please take the time to fill out the ballot on the opposite page, cut it out, stick a first-class stamp on it and mail it in. Better yet, get involved. Going to an event is fun, but getting involved is even more fun! Sure it might take a few hours out of your month, but what better way to get to know the group of people who understand your Porsche fixation! There are all kinds of ways — large and small — to get involved in one of the fastest growing and most active PCA regions in the country. Just call or e-mail any of the people whose names and contact info is listed on the Officials marquee on page 4 of this newsletter. Award Descriptions: here’s what you’re voting for….

Fortunately for all, increased security at the city limits kept the winds at the door, allowing for a picture perfect launch event. Porsche of Albuquerque again opened their showrooms at o’dark thirty, providing warm relief from the morning chill, along with traditional New Mexico balloon launch breakfast fare of hot coffee, and even hotter burritos. Over the course of the event, it would appear that perhaps 40 or so Road Runners, with family and friends in tow, braved the low 40 degree tempera- tures to await the Dawn Patrol. While still somewhat breezy, we collectively held our breath, hoping that the reports back from the first balloons aloft would confirm that conditions were suitable for the Mass Ascension, and so it was that at about 7:30, the 1st wave took to the skies. As the sun arose the western horizon was covered with brightly colored balloons (Darth Vader excepted) as wave after wave took to the skies to the delight of all in attendance. As always, kind thanks go out to the great folks at Porsche of Albuquerque for again allowing us to keep a great Road Runner Region tradition going for yet another year.

Page 23 Roadrunner Ramblings October 2013 Charity Drive-out Story and photos by Michael Galaviz Porsche of Albuquerque helps us out once again with our Charity Drive Out event to benefit The Barrett House Foundation. They were our big sponsor, making it possible to give 100 percent of all entries directly to our club charity. Sponsorship participation was also given by the Roadrunner Region and Four Seasons Cleaning. For those who are still not familiar with the Barrett House, they provide emergency shelter for women and children who find themselves homeless due to circumstances beyond their control. With a changing economy, even women with degrees have found themselves homeless due to lost jobs and downsizing. Kim and Lee Stauffacher volunteered to run registration in Albuquerque and donated a raffle prize. They made sure everyone had their directions and raffle tickets after going through the registration process and making their donation. They drove last behind everyone and made sure no one had any problems on the road. A gimmick rally started once leaving the parking lot. The play sheet had clues and the correct answers could be found along route. A little math and a sharp eye were needed. After scoring the play sheets we had the results. Steve Fallon and Peggy Baca had top score. Bob and Patty Blackwell & Kim and Lee Stauffacher tied with the next top score. Luckily the rally prizes were the same, so we were able to skip a tie breaker. It was noticeable that we were in a car Page 24 Roadrunner Ramblings October 2013 continued on page 26 Page 25 Roadrunner Ramblings October 2013 Butterfield Jewelers’ Annual Open House Noon to 4 PM Toys for Kids Charity Event Bring an Unwrapped New Toy Benefitting the Barrett Foundation Refreshments and Door Prizes club. Once arriving at the drive out location, everyone parked perfectly spaced in the yard. The grill was hot and food was cooking. All you could eat salmon, shrimp with a spicy habanero and chipotle rub, and potato salad was on the menu. Burgers were available to anyone wanting some beef. Liz Tapia and Chris Sanchez volunteered to cook and baked red velvet and german chocolate cub cakes. Then off to the beverage area for a choice of water, tea, 6 types of beer, or margaritas. Food and drink are good after a 45 minute drive. The 5 member blues band Mystic Vic played almost nonstop. The band consisted of Tom Brahl, Scott Blackwell, Jack Brant, Chaz Jetty, and Larry Wells. They gave a small break to allow Amanda and Randy Torbet to pass out raffle prizes, and then continued playing. Everyone really enjoyed the music. Others were playing horseshoes, while others were at the mini shooting range. We all had a fun time and had good food. In the process the Roadrunner Region, with Porsche of Albuquerque raised over $1000.00 to help homelessness in our community.

I hope all of you will adhere to tradition and begin your celebrations in late September! For me, I will continue my Oktoberfest celebrations by attending Carrera Region’s OktoberFiesta in Deming and Las Cruces, NM. (More about that later.) In mid-August, I attended the DE and PCA Club Races at High Plains Raceway in Colorado. I volunteered to help with Grid and I was busy all weekend. I like being in the middle of the action and, other than being a corner worker, helping in Grid certainly afforded me that opportunity. Eric Elliff did an excellent job of organizing and managing all of us grid workers and I enjoyed working with everyone. It was fun to see the drivers prepare for their DE sessions and race sessions, and once they were on the track, we were able to see part of the course from the grid area. On Saturday, the Enduro race had to be cancelled not long after it began because of a serious accident in which we lost one of our most liked and respected members, Jerry Schouten. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Sunday’s races went well and several drivers from Zone 9 placed in the top spots. For a full listing of the race results, go to www.pca.org/Activities/ ClubRacing/RaceResults.aspx. Hats off to all involved in organizing and running the DE and Club Races – it was a very enjoyable weekend! The next Region event I attended was Llano Estacado’s monthly breakfast gathering at Furr’s Cafeteria in Amarillo. The Region may be small, but the level of participation is high and everyone enjoys getting together. I met a potential new member, Charles, and I think LLE can count him in with their membership. As I mentioned in last month’s column, there is still plenty of time to attend Zone 9 Region events and shoot for the Zone 9 Challenge trophy! The details are October 25-27 Carrera Region OktoberFiesta, Arroyo Seco Raceway and Las Cruces, NM November 2 AMR Tech Session (details TBD) LLE monthly breakfast in Amarillo November 9 WTR drive to Ft.
