The President’s ColumnDoreen Pankow

The PCA Zone 8 Festival of Speed that was held during

the !rst weekend in April had over 4500 people in attendance this year, a record attendance. It was the !rst time both PCA and POC drivers competed at the same time on the track at the Festival of Speed. "e magni!cent display of “Fi#y Years of 911” cars was a special treat to see, especially

when the !#y Porsches, one from each year, were driven around Fontana’s Auto Club Speedway track on Saturday. I’d like to thank all the SBR members who volunteered throughout the weekend and helped make this event such a success!!

Volunteers are a critical component of any event and are needed for any car club to be successful. All our O$cers and Board members are volunteers, people who give of their time to help keep our club running smoothly. None of them are paid for the time spent doing their various duties or for planning and organizing the various activities we all enjoy. "e Board members pay the same fees as everyone else to participate in our club events, so please express your appreciation the next time you see one of them.

Our Region held the most driving tours and social events of any other Zone 8 Region in 2012, which was a big factor in why

we won the 2012 PCA Zone 8 Region of the Year award. Without the help of so many of our members who volunteer to organize or help out at an event, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy all these fun drives, motorsport activities and social events. I want to thank all of you who volunteer to help out with the planning, set-up and support during our club events, as you do make a di%erence!!

We always need volunteers at Autocrosses to help with registration, setting up the course the day before the event, setting up cones that get knocked down throughout the event, and waving the &ag to start the cars on the course. At our Concours d’Elegance in October, we need volunteers for registration, tra$c control, car placement, timers, runners, scorers and judges. At our Chili Cook-O% event in July, we need volunteers to help set up tables, chairs and canopies, set up the food, and serve the chili. At our Progressive Dinner in August, we are always looking for members who are willing to host either the appetizers/salad course or the dessert course in their home. And at our Camarillo breakfast meetings, we need volunteers for gate duty.

As you can see, most of these jobs don’t require special skills, so any of you can easily !nd something that you would enjoy doing. Volunteering is a great way to get to know other members and to give something back to our car club as a member. It’s a lot of fun to organize an event, which usually involves putting together a driving route for a backroads drive and making the lunch arrangements. "e Activities Chair and other members are always available to discuss ideas, answer your questions and help you get started, so you’re not alone in planning these events. We welcome your suggestions and participation in planning future events.

I would encourage all of you to let our Activities Chair, Barry Weinstein, our Autocross Co-Chairs, Dan Byers and Steve Doll, and our Concours Chair, Robert Watt, know if you are available to help out at an event or if you are interested in planning one.

from Santa Barbara Auto Group, Sam Abergel from Westlake Rus-nak, and John Koehler, the Western Regional Manager for Porsche Cars North America.

Congratulations to Rusnak for being awarded the Porsche Pre-mier Dealer status. !ey are one of the top three Porsche dealer-ships in the nation.

Kelly Kissman, manager of “!e Boutique” at Rusnak, spoke to us and talk-ed about the many items they have to o"er. !is month, members of PCAS-BR will be given a 20% discount on ev-erything they stock!

Ted Lighthizer, our Director of Ad-vertising, introduced three of our new Der Auspu" advertisers who spoke brie#y on the products they represent.

!ese were Rick White with Mini of Camarillo; SBR member Steve Doll of NAI Capital, who also coordinates our Au-tocrosses with Dan Byers; and Matt Malamut, who talked brie#y about his company, Auctions America.

I briefed the group on last month’s extremely successful Murder Mystery Train ride and went on to mention all the activities in store this month, which you can read about in depth elsewhere in this magazine.

Doreen reminded us that we were running out of time to sign up for next month’s four-day excursion to Morro Bay and the Central Coast.

Membership Chair Sue Kinsling welcomed a number of new members to our club. Frank and Rose Ramirez own a 2013 Box-ster and live in Ventura.

After a decade in the making, the risky, underground documentary, “32 Hours 7 Minutes,” is now in worldwide release. Produced and directed by Cory Welles, the !lm chronicles the secretive, cross-country races, known as the U.S. Express, that took place in the late 70s and early 80s after the o"cial Cannonball races had ended and also weaves in the story of a suspenseful, modern-day attempt to break the old record of 32:07, a record time embroiled in controversy.

Featuring historic footage from the early races and recent interviews with the organizer and its participants, “32 Hours 7 Minutes” reveals the motivations and methods used by the outlaws who were crazy enough to compete in one of the toughest tests of human and mechanical endurance. But what could have been a mild tale of a time gone past, turns into a tense, epic road adventure as Welles !nds herself in the backseat of a BMW M5 going #at-out across the country to prove 32:07 is legit or beatable.

“I wanted to take audiences on the 1983 ride,” said Welles, “I !gured I could dig up enough of the past to relay this experience but I never expected I would actually have to take them on a physical run; and now, looking back, I don’t see how there was any other way of telling this story without getting in the car and doing it.” Welles used six in-car cameras and a few surprises to capture every second of their day-and-a-half journey across 13 states and 4 times zones. At the core, this is an auto enthusiast’s dream but also appeals to anyone with a sense of adventure. Where most car !lms lack a meaningful storyline and credibility, the true-to-life adventures in “32 Hours 7 Minutes” have both in spades.

Ms. Welles will lead a discussion on this marvelous adventure and show her documentary on the evening of May 11, 2013 exclusively for SBR members at Rusnak Westlake Porsche. The screening will be accompanied by questions and answers from our members. Details on the evening’s event, that will include a bu$et dinner at Rusnak Westlake Porsche, will be forwarded to those registering for the event. It is anticipated that the cost for the evening will be $25.00 per person, including the meal, tax, gratuity and SBR activity fee.To register for this special screening, contact Nicolas Liakas at [email protected] or 818/706-6016. This special presentation will surely sell out fast, so register now!

Val and I le! home in "ousand Oaks at 7:30 AM for the breakfast meeting, and as soon as we pulled out of the garage, we were greeted by a springtime fog. By the time

we got to Camarillo, it had been replaced by an even heavier fog that turned into a drizzle for much of the rest of our drive. When we got closer to Santa Barbara, the drizzle had ceased only to be overtaken once again by the fog.

Only 25 attendees in 16 Porsches, a Ferrari, one motorcycle and a few other alternate vehicles braved this misty weather to meet and eat at Moby Dick’s on Stearns wharf.

Actually, this was a fairly healthy turnout considering, the “not ready for prime time driving weather” as well as the fact that at the same time, we were sponsoring an Autocross at the Camarillo airport..

Doreen, our President, was at the Autocross signing in volunteers and contestants before the fog got there at 5:30 AM, and

then le! it to come to the Santa Barbara meeting. She made a few announcements, introduced Walt Branscome and talked about the SBAG Cayman Launch on April 27th. She then said goodbye and drove back to Camarillo to continue working at the Autocross.

Our Activities Chair, who it is said strongly resembles me, stood up and informed the group of our upcoming events

Sue Kinsling, Membership Chair, welcomed a new member: Bill Wilson from Santa Barbara. Bill has a customized 2001 Boxster S. Also Marienne McClure, who lives in Santa Barbara, drove over to our meeting for the #rst time in her 2007 911 4S. Marienne moved to California from Kauai, Hawaii. We all welcomed them to our club, got into our cars, and endured the drive back through the not-quite-pristine weather. We certainly get spoiled driving in Southern California. =

The R.U.F. Report

STORY BY JEANNE MCNAIR, PHOTOS BY DICK LANGE

R.U.F. trip to Galpin Auto Sports

On !ursday, March 21, 2013, eighteen R.U.F. members took a memorable tour of the Galpin Auto Sports facility in Van Nuys. We traveled there for the most part via the

crowded L.A. freeways with an all-too-short backroads jaunt along Cornell and Mulholland Hwy. On that section of our drive it was easy to see that Spring has de"nitely come to Southern California as we saw many trees in bloom and a myriad of wild#owers.

!e Galpin Auto Sports complex houses a store with all kinds of car accessories, clothing and paraphernalia, a museum of beautiful cars and a custom car garage.

!e GAS garage is well known and has been featured on the USA version of “Pimp My Ride” hosted by Xzibit. !eir customized cars have also been seen on “Knight Rider.” Many “Galpinized” custom designed vehicles have won many awards and recognition. !e collection of cars on display that day numbered at least forty, all exceptional in their own right. !e GAS collection now employs a full-time guide. We were fortunate to have our tour conducted by him as he was very knowledgeable about the cars, both technically and historically.

GAS has an interesting collection of Shelby cars, some with impressive racing histories. Other cars we saw included two beautiful Jaguar XKE’s in pristine condition as well as Liberace’s car, complete with a chandelier on the hood. One highlight was a vintage Packard painted in mauve and purple, which is owned by the wife of the Galpin owner.

In addition to the numerous customized cars, foreign and domestic, there were also many motorcycles including one space age model custom painted in red and black.

A$er the car display we were o%ered a private tour of the Aston Martin pavilion with its own vault. !e vault allows a private and elegant place for the purchaser of a car to take delivery of his or her new car. We saw the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish, custom made

down to the hand stitched upholstery. !e car is a beautiful work of art as well as a technological marvel.

At the conclusion of our tour we took a short walk across the street to Galpin’s own restaurant, “!e Horseless Carriage,” and had a delicious meal outside in the bright clear sunshine of a nice March day. With the impressive array of cars we had just seen, there was plenty of lively car talk. =


amongst towering pines. There you will !nd art galleries, excellent restaurants, an old-fashioned saloon, boutiques and a great boardwalk along Moonstone Beach. Dinner will be on your own.

Sunday morning, we’ll drive to the Montaña de Oro (Mountain of Gold) State Park and take an easy 2 " mile round-trip hike. You’ll enjoy spectacular views of the blu#s overlooking the ocean, and ex-perience the beauty of the spring $owers in bloom along the trail. Then, take a fun drive to Avila Beach via Perfumo Canyon Road, which takes us up over the top of the mountain and winds its way down to the ocean. Following lunch you can spend the rest of the day exploring Avila Beach and Pismo Beach or return to Morro Bay for shopping, hiking or gol!ng. Cocktails and a group dinner will be held that eve-ning in the Orchid Room of our hotel, so you can just relax at the end of the day and enjoy the company of your fellow club members.

California Festival of SpeedARTICLE BY MIKE HODSON , PHOTOS BY RANDY FISHWICK

We in Southern California are truly blessed with an abundance of riches. Along with fabulous weather, gorgeous scenery, world-class entertainment, and

recreation opportunities of every conceivable type, we have an automotive culture that supports year-round events sure to please motorheads of any !avor.

Every year for the past several years the "rst weekend in April is reserved for the California Festival of Speed, a three day event put on by Porsche Club of America Zone 8. Zone 8 consists of 13 regions of PCA, including the geographic areas of Southern California, Arizona and Southern Nevada.

Drawing entries and spectators from throughout Zone 8, this year’s event featured over 220 drivers and 4500 spectators. Yikes! Signi"cantly, Zone 8 was pleased to welcome Porsche Owners’ Club entries, which further enhanced the quantity and quality of the racing "eld.

An extremely full weekend of events includes a Concours d’Elegance, Porsche Swap Meet, Vendor Row, Porsche Cars for Sale, Goodie Store, Taste of Autocross, and more!

We arrived early Saturday morning via Cayenne GTS, arguably the best ride in the world to cover beaucoup miles, mui rapide,

huge fun! What a great machine! #e Porsche parking corral was already teeming with treats – mild-to-wild Turbos, sano stockers of every model and vintage, plus the occasional “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” creation in a color/option/modi"cation combination never before seen. Any Porschephile merely had to choose a favorite, from 911 to 987, and "nd numerous examples of gorgeous machines ready to ogle, debate, negotiate and enjoy.

Several of the For Sale machines piqued my interest, o$ering an incredibly high fun to dollar value with the inherent Porsche reliability. Sadly there seems to be slight priority di$erences between myself and wife-unit Pam, something about a new kitchen, imagine that!

Moving into the garage area, I was awestruck with the wide spectrum of race machinery. Serious, professional team e$orts with mega-buck transporters/crews/support were contrasted with weekend hobbyist racers, blue tape numbers and no sponsor decals. From professional hired-gun drivers sporting the latest and greatest attire to the most casual barely-meets-the-rules enthusiast, everyone is there to do their personal best, meet their goals, and most importantly have fun. PCA has done an excellent job of placing diverse groups of racers into classes where they can remain competitive, so the playing "eld is quite level for the majority of participants.

“If you do not take care of your body, where are you going to live?” – unknown mystic

Spend a Saturday morning cooking together with Broth-for-Healing cook and advocate, Nola Force, and you may learn new cooking/healing techniques. Learn the !avor secrets of Chef Rebecca Katz’s “Fass Principle,” the use of the sea vegetable kombu and a mineral-balancing broth using four available vegetables for clarity, weight loss, and juice fasting programs.

On Saturday morning, June 15 at 10:30 a.m. bring your favorite chopping knife, cu"ing board, and $10.00 for food cost to the Somis kitchen of Sue Kinsling. A broth-based lunch is included. Nola will share her 20-plus years of creating broths for be"er health.

The event is limited to 16 persons due to kitchen size, so reserve your space early by contacting Nola at [email protected] or 530-966-0916.

As owner/chef of the Wellspring Catering Company and Co-Director of the Windrise Retreat Center in Metamora, MI, Nola Force teamed up with nutritionists in the University of Michigan’s Complementary Medicine Nutritional Grant Program in 2003-4 to teach heart patients be"er living skills. The response was heart-warming, and the Beano after day one of #ve was discarded. On her return to California in 2005, Nola volunteered with the TLC and Hospice programs o$ering her broths. In Nola’s experience they are gentle and energy-giving. Add your intention and they are healers.

1997 993 Targa in black driven by Bob Prieve. This is my third Porsche starting in 1990 with a 944 followed by 968 in 1998. I bought the 911 last year and so far it is running well. And yes, I have a Triumph TR3a (1960) original owner and is still running strong.

Corwin Toyama with his 997 at the Grand Prix Region’s “Day Away from Work”. The event was held at Willow Springs Raceway on the “Streets of Willow” track. This event included several continuous lap Drivers Education Sessions and a timed Autocross.


April 13 brought us the !rst autocross of the 2013 Season at the Camarillo Airport. We had 45 drivers show up ready to best a course that was going to present some

nice challenges. We had access to the venue on Friday, so several volunteers showed up to get the course laid out. With a course map, Rocky Carver, Ted Lighthizer, Steve Doll, Frank Donahue, Justin Ooms, Dan Bousman, Bob Green, William Griswold, Milton Gabaldon and I arranged over 600 cones on a course that was 3856’ in length with 44 turns including a cross over. Setting up the course also gives us a chance to test it out and make sure it will be a challenging but fun course.

Saturday morning and waking up at 4am to be at a Porsche autocross may not seem to be a good combination, but an autocross crew must start early to pull o" an event and have it run smoothly for all involved. #e gate opened at 6:30am, but several drivers, including my son Shane and I, were there just a$er 6am getting things set up. As the drivers entered, they were greeted by Jim Brown, Martin Keller, Dan Long and Larry Stoops who gave them some instruction for the day. My son Shane was at the gate the rest of the day letting in and out spectators and drivers. A$er unloading their vehicles drivers made their way to get taught. Schneider Autohaus as always was on hand to get the job done. Chris Andropolous and Cris Arreola made sure the cars were ready to run. Doreen Pankow was manning the registration desk and got everyone checked in smoothly.

STORY BY DAN BYERS, PHOTOS BY TED LIGHTHIZER


With the timing set up and everyone ready to go, I went about getting the drivers’ meeting going. Keeping it short and sweet, I made sure everyone was on the same page with how the day would look. At 8:30am sharp, drivers were lined up and hitting the pavement. With the smaller groups it meant more time behind the wheel for everyone. By lunch time drivers had 8 laps accomplished and a real good feel for the course. One of the best things about doing an AX event with our club has to be the lunch, and I hear that every event. QTime BBQ always makes sure everyone has plenty to eat of great BBQ. A!er all this time catering our events, Aaron has become part of the family, and we truly enjoy having him come out and feed all those hungry drivers.

"e a!ernoon timed runs brought us some great lap times and exciting viewing. William Griswold manned the start line all day and he made sure everyone got their runs in while Je#ery Merrick held down the timing desk with Je# Parker. As always, an autocross is a car control event with smooth, mistake-free driving being the key to a fast lap time, and we had several drivers who were determined to do just that. When the last car passed the $nish line, we had several drivers getting below the 55 second mark; but in the end, it was Greg Lush taking Top Time with a 50.609 driving a Porsche 1993 911RS. In our Cone Killer category, John Dimock took the prize as he $rmly established himself as the one to beat by taking out the $nish line. All the times and class winners can be found on page 18. You can also see them on the club’s website, www.pcasb.org.

Our thanks go out to all the volunteers who helped make the day and this year’s autocrosses a success. We would also like to thank the Camarillo Airport Management for allowing us to put on this event at the airport site as it is a safe site for an autocross and a good one besides. We look forward to seeing everyone in September for another autocross and an opportunity to exercise our cars. =

When a car reaches its sixth birthday, you will receive a notice from the California

DMV mandating a vehicle smog inspection (at a licensed testing facility) is necessary to complete its registration. Because this a process that all model year 1975 and later Porsches (or any street legal CA car) goes through at least every other year, and because smog testing is a widely misunderstood subject, let’s take a closer look at it. In fact, this month’s column will be the !rst of two articles on the subject. "is month I’ll explain the impetus of the state smog check program, provide an overview of some of the rules and regulations regarding smog tests, and explain the “Check Engine” light and how to ensure that your 1996 or newer vehicle will pass a smog test. Next month, we’ll delve into the history of smog controls on Porsches and highlight the unique challenges that certain Porsches face when going for an emissions test.

"e federal government had been requiring certain emission-reduction equipment on automobiles since the 1960s, but California has always been at the forefront of vehicle emissions reduction, mainly due to the Los Angeles area’s infamous smog problem. Anyone who has visited the L.A. basin has likely seen the brown haze hanging over the city. "at the visible amount of smog has clearly been reduced in the last 30 years is testament to the e#ectiveness of the ever-increasing amount of emission-reducing equipment installed in vehicles sold in the U.S.

"e California Air Resources Board (CARB) was formed in the late 1960s with the aim of improving the state’s air

The Ins & Outs of California Smog Testsquality. Since the CARB pre-dated the federal government’s own Clean Air Act, California is the only state that is permitted to have such a governing body. CARB o$en sets air quality standards that are above and beyond that of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other states must follow either the federal or the CA standards. Currently 17 states peg their emissions standards to those of CARB. For this reason, virtually all vehicles sold in the U.S. are also CARB compliant. Gone are the days of separate “California” and “49-state” versions of the same car.

"e California smog testing program as we know it has existed since 1984 with the laudable goal of reducing smog-forming pollutants emitted from vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines. "e targeted harmful by-products of these engines are carbon monoxide (CO), unburned fuel or hydrocarbons (HC), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

As previously noted, when a vehicle reaches the sixth year from its original registration date, it is subject to mandatory biannual smog checks. When a car that is more than four years old is sold to another party, it is required to pass a smog check for the title transfer to take place. If the car fails the test for any reason, it is the

responsibility of the seller to pay for any repairs or adjustments

necessary. A smog certi!cate is good for 90

days; if a vehicle has passed a smog test within this period, is not required to be re-tested for the title to transfer to a new owner.

For vehicles registered in Santa Barbara County,

the smog test consists of a test of tailpipe emissions

at idle in neutral and at 2500 RPM, in addition to a visual and

functional check of onboard emission reduction equipment. In more heavily populated areas like Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, the tailpipe tests are carried out with the engine under load via the rollers of a dynamometer. All-

wheel-drive vehicles like the 911 Carrera 4, 1996 and newer 911 Turbo, and Cayenne are exempt from the stricter rolling test as the “dynos” at smog test facilities are for two-wheel-drive vehicles only.

Besides the tailpipe emission test and visual checks, the engine’s emissions control electronics must also be functional. "erefore, an illuminated “Check Engine” light (CEL) will cause a vehicle to automatically fail a smog test, even if the tailpipe emissions are within the allowable limits. On 1996 and newer vehicles, the smog technician will also electronically test the emission controls monitors of the engine control unit to ensure that no fault codes are stored. "is test will also check that the fault memory has not recently been erased in an attempt to pass the smog test.

To fully explain what a CEL entails, a brief history of the gestation of automotive onboard diagnostic systems is helpful. By the early 1980s, electronic engine controls were increasingly utilized by automobile manufacturers to ensure precise control of engines’ air/fuel mixtures for both increased fuel economy and reduced emissions. Around this time, CARB began developing regulations that required the engine electronic control units to be able to monitor basic emission control equipment like the oxygen sensor and to store fault codes and display a fault indicator light in the dash (this is displayed as the CEL by many manufacturers). "is early set of standards is collectively known as On-Board Diagnostic I or OBDI.

Most automakers had already been implementing such systems on their own to aid in diagnosis of increasingly complicated engine controls, and most were compliant with OBDI by the 1988 deadline. "e main drawback of the OBDI is that each automaker required unique and specialized scan equipment to communicate with the engine control unit and read fault codes. Independent repair facilities were faced with the daunting prospect of investing in a number of expensive scan tools to be able to diagnose and repair multiple makes of vehicles. Also, OBDI-equipped cars had no real way of monitoring the health of the catalytic converter, and would only set fault codes when a component had

already failed. It was clear that a more comprehensive and universal standard for onboard diagnostics was needed.

!e improved set of standards was developed in the early 1990s and was known as OBDII. All gasoline-powered light vehicles sold in the U.S. were required to be fully compliant with OBDII by the 1996 model year. !e centerpiece of OBDII is a standardized 16-pin diagnostic connector, required by regulations to be within easy reach of the driver’s area of the cockpit. !is connector allows a universal scan tool to be plugged into any OBDII compliant vehicle to read and erase stored fault codes pertaining to various onboard emission controls. OBDII architecture also gives the scan tool the ability to monitor an array of live engine data, including RPM, temperature, throttle position, oxygen sensor voltage, and more. In addition to the required database of universal fault codes, each manufacturer has its own unique fault code system that o"en requires a more specialized scan tool for full interpretation and diagnosis.

OBDII vehicles are required to have two oxygen sensors per catalytic converter, one in the traditional location ahead of the converter for engine air/fuel ratio monitoring, and a second oxygen sensor downstream of the catalytic converter to monitor converter function. OBDII engine controls are able to detect gradual deterioration of the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, and can also rapidly detect cylinder mis#res that could damage the catalytic converter.

If a condition that could potentially a$ect emissions control equipment in an OBDII vehicle is detected during two consecutive engine warm-up cycles or “trips,” the CEL in the instrument panel is illuminated. !is light will generally stay on until the underlying issue is corrected, but will sometimes turn o$ if the condition is not detected for the next three engine warm-up cycles. Some of the onboard emissions monitors in OBDII equipped vehicles will only run during a longer freeway trip, which is why the CEL will come and go in certain instances.

In most cases, an illuminated CEL is not an indicator of impending doom for your engine. It is simply a warning that the

engine management system detects a fault that could potentially a$ect future exhaust emissions and drivability. Only a %ashing CEL is a cause for immediate concern, as this indicates a cylinder mis#re. !is

condition is generally accompanied by rough running of the engine, and if the condition persists, a tow to a repair facility is wise to prevent potential catalytic converter damage from unburned fuel.

On newer vehicles there can literally be hundreds of potential causes of a CEL condition. Modern onboard diagnostics are sophisticated enough to identify a potential issue before it manifests itself into a noticeable di$erence in how the engine runs. Worn or faulty sensors or wiring can set fault codes, as can physical damage or wear to engine intake hoses, gaskets and seals. !e CEL can also be the #rst symptom of some fuel and ignition system faults, or even the #rst sign of wear on certain engine components. On vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions (Tiptronic in Porsche-speak), certain transmission faults can set fault codes that will activate the CEL, since the engine and transmission control units are in constant communication.

One of the most commonly known causes of a CEL on an OBDII-equipped vehicle is a loose or missing gas cap. Under OBDII standards, a vehicle’s fuel system must be sealed to prevent harmful fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel vapors in the tank are stored in a charcoal-#lled canister and purged into the engine’s intake system to be burned at speci#ed intervals. !is system is collectively known as the evaporative emission control or EVAP system, and it is required to have an onboard leak detection system. !e engine control unit will periodically run

the EVAP leak detection monitor to ensure that the system is leak-free. Since the fuel #ller cap is one of the main seals of this system, the EVAP monitor will fail to complete if it is loose or missing, and the

CEL will soon illuminate. Be sure to tighten the cap until it clicks a"er refueling, and check that the rubber tethering strap is not caught under the cap on vehicles so equipped. “Topping o$ ” the fuel tank a"er the gas pump has automatically shut o$ is verboten, as EVAP components can be damaged by liquid fuel.

Since an OBDII-equipped car will not pass smog with a Check engine light on, why not disconnect the battery to wipe

the fault memory clean, or purchase an inexpensive OBDII code reader and clear the fault codes immediately before the smog test? OBDII has safeguards built in to prevent such cheating of the system. To pass a smog test, a number of the OBDII system’s built-in emission system monitors must have recently run and passed a self-check to ensure that all systems are functional.

!e catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, EVAP system, secondary air injection system (this in an electronic air pump that puts air into the exhaust system to rapidly warm up the catalytic converter) all have monitors that will only run under certain conditions. Under normal driving conditions, it can take up to 100 miles of mixed city and freeway driving to get all of the emissions monitors to run. Some manufacturers have published speci#c drive cycles that are designed to run all emissions monitors in a minimal amount of time, but they can be di&cult to duplicate in real-world conditions.

If your 1996 or newer vehicle has recently had a CEL turned o$ a"er a repair, or if the battery has recently been disconnected or completely discharged, the emissions monitor status should be checked by a quali#ed repair facility before attempting a smog test. !is is a quick test with most OBDII scan tools, and it will prevent the inconvenience of a return trip to the smog station.

A Day At Huntington GardensP.M.S. Event

STORY BY NOLA FORCE, PHOTOS BY DOREEN PANKOW

There could not have been a more perfect spring day for discovering the magic of this San Marino multi-acre Huntington Estate by eight enthusiastic members of

the SBR Porsche Mademoiselle Society on Saturday morning, March 30th. !e private tour guide told us about the railroad barons of the nineteenth century who created this cultural and educational center. We enjoyed seeing the huge size and variety of palm trees and desert plants from around the world, blossom-heavy wisteria vines, a walled Chinese garden designed for shared harmony, a re"ective Japanese Garden, magni#cent galleries, a world-renowned research library and, of course, the Huntington mansion--all experienced before the Tea Lunch at the Rose Garden Tea House in the center of the estate.

At 12:30 a sumptuous feast was enjoyed along with the camaraderie of old and new friends. Many varied pots of tea and fresh-baked scones greeted us as we were seated at a large round table, perfect for shared conversation. A bu$et of salads, tea sandwiches, hummus, cheese, fruits and pastries provided each of us satisfying choices for lunch. Add the excellent service and the magic continued.

A%er lunch we made our way in small groups to discover what our tour guide introduced but we didn’t explore. I opted with others to experience the rain forest, cloud forest and discovery room, all located in the glass-enclosed Conservatory. Others went

looking for Blue Boy and other great works of art. We all agreed we wanted to return another time and look forward to our next group adventure.

As the new P.M.S. Chairwoman, I would like to thank all who attended: Doreen Pankow, Karen Kahn, Jeanne McNair, Jane Niederst, Janet Kaller, Joan Murphy and Marty !eise. !anks also for the assistance from our President, Doreen, in showing me the “P.M.S. Chair ropes.” It was good to be with you all. And special thanks to the professional and kind Huntington sta$.

We have updated our email list for the next exciting P.M.S. events, so if you did not receive an email and you want to be on the P.M.S. distribution list, please contact me at [email protected]. =

From the perspective of a race spectator, the excitement of competition is not overwhelming unless you have a personal interest/involvement with one of the cars. For the most part the racing is quite gentlemanly, as few of the racers really are willing to do much paint trading for the sake of a few points. Viewing from above the press boxes going into turn 1, the sound of the cars is enough to warm the heart of any enthusiast, as one Porsche a!er another sail by at full song. Truly a beautiful soundtrack by any description.

"rough an incredible amount of hard work, planning and coordination, PCA Zone 8 put together my personal favorite display of the weekend – “50 Years of the 911.” We started at the modern end of the lineup, showcasing the “991” iteration of the series. Undeniably the penultimate 911 to date, as each succeeding model becomes, I could not help but feel the inexorable growth in weight/size/luxury had somehow diluted the purity of the sporting automobile introduced 50 years prior. However, when studying the current customer base, comfort and convenience are just as or more important than pure performance. Certainly one of the many geniuses of the Porsche factory has been to intimately know their customers and o#er a myriad of models to please every automotive palette.

As we moved backward in time down the 50-year display, through the 991/997/996/993/964/911 eras, the genius of Porsche became more clear. Each new model o#ered improvements in performance and handling simply not previously possible, while maintaining the traditions and lineage necessary to connect with the marque’s unmatched competition heritage.

Hats o# to the Peterson Museum, who most generously lent their priceless “901” to the 50-year celebration, both for display and driving. Magni$cent in its beauty, simplicity and rarity, the 901 bridged the gap between the 356 and 911 models, eventually succumbing to the pressure of Peugeot, who claimed “eminent domain” to automotive designations that included Zero as the middle character. Henceforth, the “901” would become the “911”. Interestingly the Porsche 904, 906, 907, 908 and 909 models did not su#er the same renaming fate, due undoubtedly to their pure racing status.

Obviously, an event the size and scope of the Festival of Speed would not be possible without a legion of volunteers. Every Region within Zone 8 provided essential volunteer support, including the Santa Barbara Region. Volunteer tasks ranged from the very plebeian parking control to highly skilled tech inspection, and everything in between. Santa Barbara Region provided numerous volunteers over the three-day event, not only insuring safety and fun for those present, but also helping to make a contribution to the co#ers of PCA/SBR for future events.

Personally I would like to thank Zone 8 for producing what I feel is the best Festival of Speed I have attended. "e variety and quality of activities was unrivaled, and as usual the volunteers were professional, cordial and e%cient. Mark your calendars for FOS 2014. You will not be disappointed! =
