President Bryan Lingruen
Porsche wins!!! These were the words spoken recently when Porsche won the 84th running
of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This year Toyota seemed to be the team to beat but with just a
few minutes remaining the leading Toyota pulled to the side of the track and Porsche took
the lead through to the checkered flag. This the 18th overall win for Porsche and it is not
likely the last! It’s great to see the technology used in the racing cars trickle down in some
variation to be used in the street cars. The hybrid and new turbo technology is a direct
descendant of the racing programs run by Porsche.
This month, I am once again writing this trackside but this time at our home track of MidOhio. The second to last week of June, I spent the entire week there with three different
organizations. My time was spent instructing new students, coaching a race driver in a series
and also driving; both in open lapping sessions and in a race. The instruction portion of the
week was with, I know I shouldn’t say it, but The Ferrari Club of America. Ferrari Club was
holding their annual meet this year in Columbus that’s similar to our Porsche Parade. They
host a Driver’s Education event in conjunction with the rest of their activities, so I was invited
to participate as an instructor. I was also selected to be one of 9 judges for the prestigious
Coppa GT award which involved a judged concours event requiring a 95 point or higher
score, a highly detailed technical inspection of the car requiring a 100% score, and an ontrack driving portion that showed the performance of the car. After the driving portion
concluded, we had a long debate to select the eventual winner. Not only did the winner
have a top notch Ferrari Testarosa but he could wheel it around Mid-Ohio pretty well and
there was certainly some stiff competition to be judged out of the nine cars after the track
sessions. It was a great experience to participate with another club and also gain new ideas
into future things our club could do. Hopefully in the near future, we can put some of those
ideas in motion and continue to improve our club and create new events for you to enjoy!
Earlier in the month of June, I pre-ran the driving portion of the Catawba Island Club event
July 16-17th. It was a great day weather wise for cruising along the lake taking notes and also
taking in the scenery and stops I have planned along the route. Porsche of North Olmsted
is sponsoring the CIC event and thanks to them we will be seeing some cars of theirs likely
participate in the drive from their dealership to CIC! They will also be covering the two drink
tickets each person receives with their paid dinner ticket. Door prizes and best-of-car show
prize will also be donated by PNO.
Following the CIC event, we have our PittRace Drivers Education weekend sponsored by
Porsche of Beachwood July 23-24th. Not only will we have a Driver’s Education event that
weekend on the race track; but we will also be hosting an autocross there as well. Porsche of
Beachwood will also be sponsoring our annual member’s dinner Saturday night, so come out
and check out the fantastic facility that is PittRace and get some great food and drink as well!
I am excited to see both our local dealers support our club to the level that they are. There’s
a lot of behind the scenes work that they do for us as a Club. We are grateful for them
allowing us to use their facilities for events and providing funding and other resources for
us to give our members a great experience. If you see any of the dealership staff, at either of
our upcoming dealer sponsored events, please make sure to thank them for their continued
support of NORPCA.

NOR Member of the Month
by Brad Kennett
July member of the Month: Bruce Schwartz
PCA member since 1987
While there are many club members that have known Bruce for decades, many of us like me met him
because of his affiliation with Stoddard Porsche Parts. In early 2005 I was the first employee that Bruce
hired after buying Stoddard Imported Cars from Porsche Holdings late in 2004. After running several
other businesses, Bruce wanted to work with his strongest passion and do something in the automotive
business. As a long-time Stoddard customer he thought about buying the dealership.
Some initial inquiries didn’t go far, but after a time, the voice on the other end seemed more receptive.
Talking with customers back then, I would say Bruce was a Porsche enthusiast like any of us, but
instead of having 1 or 2, he had a whole dealership. From what I saw, Bruce seemed happiest to talk to
customers about our cars and show them what the cars and the dealership was all about. When Penske
Automotive Group bought the dealership in 2011, Bruce maintained the vintage parts business and
“Stoddard” name –moving the operation to Highland Heights. Since then Bruce has add NLA parts in
Reno and is just finishing a deal to take over the LA Literature meet/toy show.
Bruce grew up in Youngstown and is now living in Shaker Heights with his wife Shelley Roth. While Bruce
has been devoting his time to working with our Porsche experience, Shelley has been running Pierre’s
Ice Cream that she owns. (Some of you may recall the ice cream freezer at Stoddard a decade ago, now
you know the rest of the story)
Bruce has been a car enthusiast since he was young, owning a wide variety of cool stuff: Alfa, Jag,
Shelby, Audi, Saab, etc…. The first Porsche that captivated his attention was a black mid 70’s Targa that
a friend had. After the first drive he had to have one someday. About a decade later he bought his first
Porsche – a red ’83 Targa. Several Porsches have come and gone since. Many of us have seen his current
collection of beautiful 911, 912,930 models ranging from the late ‘60’s to 2012. (Come to the NOR Garage
Tour on August 14 and see the whole collection—Ed.) I even managed to convince him to trade his Audis
for a Macan last year.
If you don’t know Bruce – don’t hesitate to say hello when you see him at Stoddard Porsche Parts or any
other Porsche event that he’s at. You’ll hear an interesting story and look forward to seeing him again.

NOR at Pitt Race Complex, July 23-24
by Diane Baus
Porsche Beachwood and NORPCA are teaming up to bring you a day of driving followed
by a dinner. Take a beautiful drive out to Wampum PA (just 13 miles over the Ohio
border into PA) to Pitt International Race Complex. When you come out there you can
participate in the autocross, a high performance driving school, or stay to watch and
have dinner. Pitt Race is a multiplex event offering viewing of a multitude of driving
activity such as go kart, skid pad, autocross and, of course, the race track. While we
are there the American Solar Challenge (ASC) will also be in action. American Solar
Challenge is a competition to design, build and race solar-powered cars across the
country; something else neat to watch.
Have you ever wanted to win admission to a drivers education event? We now have
a way for you to do that. There will be time carved out in the day for drivers education
students to compete in the autocross. Likewise at that time the autocross participants
can take part in the drivers education school.
What is an autocross? Autocross gives you an opportunity to negotiate a course laid
out with pylons in an open area such as a parking lot. You compete against yourself and
other drivers in your class for the best time. Safety and technical requirements must be
met. Contact John Hulick at kingcone@aol.com for more information.
What is a High Performance Driving School? Driver Ed provides the opportunity to
experience the performance potential of your Porsche in a safe, controlled environment.
You will receive classroom instruction in safety and high-performance driving
techniques, and drive your own car on a road racecourse. This is not a racing school, but
you get instruction from an experienced instructor, who rides with you. You learn proper
braking, cornering, and track-reading skills in these two-day events. Safety, medical,
and technical requirements must be met. A typical event is two days long (Saturday &
Sunday). In addition to the classroom instruction and on-track driving, you will have
opportunities to ride on the track with your instructor, meet a bunch of great people
during the day and at a Saturday night dinner if you choose. Fee for this event is $385.00.
To register go to clubregistration.net; the event number 7486. You can contact Diane
Baus at norpca-de@roadrunner.com for more information.
After a day of driving or watching, sit back and enjoy some dinner with your car
enthusiasts. All attendees are invited to dinner starting around 5-5:30pm at the event
center in the Pitt Race International Complex. The dinner is provided by Porsche
Beachwood. There is a no charge for all paid participants and a $5.00 fee for guests. All
attendees must RSVP by July 16th to Diane Baus at norpca-de@roadrunner.com or Brad
Kennett at bkennett@penskeautomotive.com. All paid tickets will be available for pickup
at NORPCA driver’s registration after 3pm on Saturday.

Checkered Flag
Les Checel
NOR held its first 2016 Pay to Play autocross last month at our new location, Euclid
Square Mall. Overall, things went well. The Farmtek timing equipment which was
upgraded during the off season to include wireless operation ran pretty much flawlessly.
There were one or two exceptions when over-polished painted surfaces caused the
STOP sensor not to trip. At least that is the excuse we are using for the reruns.
The parking lot areas we are using for course set-up are at least as large, maybe larger,
as the ones we used at Lakeland College and are in better condition. We have used
two different lots; west of the building at the April school session and the east side in
May. The only drawback is the hike to the restrooms. Since retail mall activity is closed,
comfort facilities are limited. I walked the first time and drove thereafter. That’s OK
because autocrossing in pain makes you faster; you want to get it over with ASAP, and
then make the trek.
Attendance was good, 40+ drivers, which translates to good revenue for the club, but
the disturbing thing was that only 25% of the participants were driving Porsches. Our X
Class driver’s money is as green as that of a PCA member, but the efforts made by John
Hulick and Doug Bradley and their crew of helpers is meant primarily to make fun for
our club members. We will be at ESM monthly through September, so please come out
and dodge some pylons. You can now pre-register using the AUTOCROSS tab on the
NORPCA website (pre-payment is not required). This will greatly help setting up the
timing computer prior to start of first course runs.
There is an early deadline to get this issue of Voices into print because I will be at
the Vermont Porsche Parade, June 19-28. Because of time constraints I am flying to
Burlington, then Hertzing overland to the Jay Peak convention center. I have signed up
for a driving tour to Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory and hope to catch a Porsche ride as
navigator for a solo driver. Baring that happening, I have volunteered to be a chase car in
the rental.
As usual, I will work a shift on the autocross protest committee while rooting for Faye
and Doug Bradley to bring trophies home. And for the 49th time I will be trying to win
that Factory trip to Germany. Good luck with that!!
