My wife Judy and I watched theroyal wedding very early thismorning. I usually have to get up
in the middle of the night anyway thesedays, so I figured I might as well make ita little more productive. Judy was alreadyup all night watching the event, whiletexting ongoing observations back andforth with her girlfriends. In any case, theroyal wedding couple normally climbsinto a hulking chauffeured limousineafter they leave Buckingham Palace, butnot these two.
Prince William and Princess Kate leftthe palace and drove back through theparade route in a sporty seychelle blueAston Martin DB6 MK2 Volante. Thetop was down and they enjoyed wavingand laughing their way down the festiveboulevard on a beautiful and sunnyLondon afternoon.
Queen Elizabeth bought this car forPrince Charles on his 21st birthday in1969 and since then, he has logged about300 miles per year on the car driving pri-marily to polo matches. William’s person-al car is a high performance Audi S4,while Kate owns an Audi S3; I amalready beginning to take more of likingto this “modern” royal family.
This television scene inspired me totake my 1987 Carrera Targa out fromunder the winter wraps the followingweekend, after this unusually cold andwet “spring.” I imagine many of you arebeginning to think along the same lines.This is a good time to detail your sum-mer driver very slowly, and while doingso, look carefully in cracks and crevassesfor anything that needs preventativemaintenance.
The other good reason to take the timeduring early/late spring for these mattersis that you and the repair shops havemore slack time. Please remember to takeyour car to any of the respected shopsthat are Anzeiger or ORPCA websiteadvertisers. We all should do everything
we can to support the firms that helpsupport us! Many provide ORPCA dis-counts and I personally believe they alltake a little more time and care whenthey see our club sticker on the car win-dow. Word of mouth is a tremendousway to grow a business and they appreci-ate more than ever what our informalmembership channels and our websitecommunications can mean to them.
The board continues to focus onimproving the new website to make it theprimary source of communication withour growing and diverse membership. We
also have a team that hopes to finalizeour latest round of bylaw amendmentswithin the next month. Final financialresults for the club in 2010 are complete
and appear in this Anzeiger and the web-site. The Membership and HPDE teamscontinue to pick up the pace after recentpersonnel changes in their leadership.Plans for the Christmas Party are alreadywell underway!
We hope you enjoyed the activities inMay with the two DE days at ORP, theAutocross at PIR, the Arrive and Driveand the monthly Dinner and Social. Thebiggest decision many of us had to makeat track events with the variable weatherwas what tires to mount for the bestcombination of performance and trac-tion.
Note the lineup of June events on thenext page under Oregon Region Events.We have the Northwest Passage (soldout), an Arrive and Drive, an Autocross,the monthly Club Dinner and Social,HPDE at PIR and the Rose Cup Races atPIR. As always, get the latest details onthese events on our oregonpca.org web-site.
See you on the road, at the track, in aclub meeting or at an event soon! �

One of the handiest little items aPorsche owner can have in his orher toolbox is a copy of the facto-
ry’s “Technical Specifications” bookletsappropriate to the model at hand. Theselittle white plastic-covered booklets—onceeasily available over the dealer’s partscounter—contained just about every vitalbit of data needed for tuning and main-taining the car. Unfortunately and inexpli-cably, Porsche stopped printing thesebooklets several years ago, and what oncecost $4.95 or so a copy now brings $25 ormore at a swap meet, if you can find oneat all. That was the bad news. The goodnews is that Pelican Parts has taken up thechallenge and now offers the same infor-mation, by model, in a slightly largerbooklet. They are reasonably priced, andwell worth a look.
For those of us who get tired of seeingwall-to-wall NASCAR or silly reality
shows on the Speed Channel, good news.The American LeMans Series cut a dealwith ESPN to stream the entire Sebring12 Hours on espn3.com ... free!Bookmark that site and check it ahead ofALMS weekends to see what will beoffered. Thank you, ESPN!
National Speed Sport News, known asAmerica’s Motorsports Authority,
ceased its weekly printed operations onMarch 23, another victim of the unrelent-ing advance of technology and the costs ofputting out a real printed newspaper.NSSN had been published for 76 years,and was perhaps best known through theface and voice of its principal ChrisEconomaki, now 90 years old. Chris soldcopies of the first issue at New Jersey’s Ho-Ho-Kus Speedway in 1934. His daughterCorrinne had kept the paper going inrecent years. The good news is that
NSSN will remain in operation via itsonline site,www.nationalspeedsportnews.com
The Porsche Museum is putting some ofits best-known inhabitants back on the
road, where they belong. Again in perfectoperating order and ready to rumble againin vintage racing events and exhibits willbe a 1981 911SC rally car, a 550 Spyder, a356 B 2000 GS Carrera GT(“Dreikantschaber”) coupe, an RS60Spyder, the eight-cylinder 804 F1 and a908/3 prototype, a Carrera Abarth, and a904. Wouldn’t it be great if all automotivemuseums did the same thing?
Ever travel to a race or other car event,find a neat poster that you want to
carry home in your luggage, but can’t finda cardboard tube to protect it? Here’s a
little trick: You’ll probably also pick up acouple of plastic bottles of water along theway. Save a few of those bottles after youdrain the contents. Empty the bottles—you’ll need at least three or four—cutmost, but not all the curved tops away,dry them thoroughly, and then nest thebottles end to end until you have enoughto serve as a core. Then roll the postersnugly around the bottles and secure itwith a few rubber bands. Pack it carefully,and you should get home with your posterundamaged.
Here’s another nice website with a focuson racing, both current and historic
… lots of good photographs. The empha-sis is Italian, but there are Porsches, too:www.connectingrod.it

STONE CLIFF INN17900 South Clackamas River DriveCarver, Oregon 503.639.7900www.stonecliffinn.com
Nestled amid the old growth, in a backdrop of cliffs and hugebasalt boulders, the majestic Stone Cliff Inn embodies thetrue spirit of the Oregon story. A backdrop for the block-
buster movie “Twilight.” It is “where the lamb fell in love with thelion” and four other scenes in the movie.
Guests bask in the sun on the traditional hand crafted deck, whilegazing at the spectacular Clackamas river as it lazily twists its waytowards civilization.
Known for its unique, prepared from scratch recipes, The StoneCliff Inn is where you can find the best that Oregon has to offer.No secret to the locals of Carver, any day of the week, whether forquick lunch or special dinner, festive laughter is part of the casual,yet sumptuous environment.

It was raining on the back country road.The driver noticed the car ahead twitchslightly as it went through the corner. He
unconsciously lifted his foot off the gas pedaland entered the corner, failing to notice therainbow sheen on the wet asphalt.
The back of the car moved slightly, andthen swung out wildly. The driver panicked,slamming down hard on the brake pedal.The car responded by spinning off the roadand over a grassy area, towards a stone wall.The driver hoped the tires would dig into thewet grass, but instead, they skated across thesoft ground.
As the car spun around, the driver’s eyeslocked on the wall coming at him. Thoughhis foot was crushing the brake pedal, hequickly realized he was not going to stop intime ...
What should drivers do when they real-ize that they have lost all control of theirvehicle and are faced with an imminentimpact?
I asked this question to a few knowl-edgeable people who deal with auto acci-dents and the victims on a regular basis.From Joann Fairchild at Legacy EmanuelHospital and Health Center, I learned:
� In an impact, everything inside a carthat is not held down can become a mis-sile, including: pets, books, water bottles,etc. Getting hit in the head by a laptopcan be a major injury in an impact.
� Wear the seat belt low and tightacross the pivot point of the hips. If thebelt is placed above the hips, serious inter-nal injury can result from an impact.
� Sit up straight in the seat, withoutreclining, to prevent your body from slid-
ing down and under the seat belt, causinginternal injuries in the event of an impact.
� Adjust the head rest to within fourinches of your head, to help preventwhiplash.
� Wear the shoulder harness correctlyover the shoulder and across the torso tospread the impact force across your body.
� Maintain a minimum of 10 inchesbetween you and the steering wheel airbag
� Place the hands at four and eight on thesteering wheel so they are out of the way ofthe air bag. Four and eight also works wellwhen driving “twisties,” allowing good free-dom of steering wheel movement.
� Minimize having your arms cross thesteering wheel (in the case of going arounda corner); in an impact, the air bag couldblow them into your face.
� Avoid placing the thumbs around thewheel to help prevent thumb injury dur-ing an air bag deployment.
� Empty the bladder before gettinginto the car to help prevent rupturing itduring an impact.
� Exhaust the lungs before impact tolesson the likelihood of rupturing themduring an impact.
� Close the eyes (at the last moment)to help prevent glass shards from enteringthem.
� Avoid a side impact if at all possible,due to the minimal amount of crush zonefor the passenger compartment.
A doctor friend added:
� Facing forward in an impact helpsreduce possible neck injuries.
� Relaxing as much as possible (easiersaid than done) can help minimize inter-nal injuries.

Welcome to ORPCA Autocross 2011
We had a great year of competition last year, with some class champions decided in the last event in thechampionship standings. We are looking forward to another great season of competition in all classes.There will some shake ups this coming year in the Non-Porsche class; a very fast car will be moving in
from the Mod class.We warmly welcome all newcomers to join us in the pursuit of speed and car control. We enjoyed an increase in
our female participation last year, and are hoping for more this year. The ORPCA autocross experience is full of fun,camaraderie, and a great way to make new friends. Come on out and enjoy your car to some of its limits once amonth with us. ORPCA members can preregister for $35 per event, $40 at the gate. Season passes will be offeredagain this year at a discount.
Autocross is an exhilarating and funway to help raise the level of yourdriving skills to match the capabili-
ties of your Porsche! A high intensity driv-ing experience, it consists of a single carmaking timed runs on a closed coursemarked by cones. No previous experienceis necessary; novices are welcome. We cul-tivate an air of camaraderie and funamongst our participants. All you need isa driver's license, an automotive helmet,and a car that can pass a basic mechanical
safety inspection; we can even supply thehelmet! Cars are run in classes against carswith similar performance. So whether youhave an old 914, a Boxster, or a newTurbo Carrera, we have a class for you.Your car will be given a tech inspection tomake sure it is ready to go autocross. Wetypically check wheel lugs for torque, gascap tight, battery tight, and no loose itemsin the cabin. Speeds are generally below70 mph and driving is mostly in secondgear. Each driver gets between six to eight
runs competing for time against others intheir class, and at the end of the event,elapsed times factored for penalties areposted for comparison. It's not necessaryto compete in order to enter, but you mayfind that as you gain proficiency, yourcompetitive juices will rise to the surface.Before you know it, you'll be an autocrossenthusiast!

Reflections on a Porsche Driving Experience Story and Photo by Ray Link
Recently, I was lucky to attend anevent where Porsche rolled out itsentire line for customers to experi-
ence on a racetrack. Included were thenew Cayman R, the luxurious Panamera,the Cayenne uber-SUV, and the iconic911. The participants soon realized thiswas a serious driving event, as the instruc-tors were professional racecar drivers andthe waiver was the length of theDeclaration of Independence.
The first event involved driving each ofthe cars around the track at speedsapproaching 100 MPH. From a puristviewpoint, you cannot beat the 911 andthe new lightweight, high performance,mid-engine Cayman R. Porsche equippedall of the test vehicles with its new, auto-matic, double-clutch transmission, knownas Porsche Doppelkupplung (or PDK forshort). While I believe it’s a tragedy to buya true sports car with anything other thana manual transmission, I have to admit the
PDK is one sweet automatic, and is thefaster option. However, it adds 66 poundsand lightens your wallet by $4,000, so itmust be one huge moneymaker forPorsche.
The surprise of the event was how wellthe 6-cylinder Panamera performed. Whileit was no 911, it lapped other high per-formance sedans including BMW,Mercedes and Audi. The fit and finishwere first class, although the wood grainand large center console reminded me of aLexus instead of a Teutonic Porsche.
Slightly less exciting was the CayenneSUV. While it is fast and cool lookingwith its recent update, it is still heavy andmore truck-like than sporty. I own anAudi Q5 which seems more nimble, notto mention less expensive. This is largelydue to the fact that it is built on a carplatform, whereas the Cayenne is built onthe same truck platform as the VWTouareg.
The last and most enjoyable event wasan autocross. We drove a Cayman and 911around a very tight track with an instruc-tor, who taught us how to push the cars tothe limit. Both were marvelous andallowed me to legally and safely drive aPorsche more aggressively than I wouldmy own. It’s hard to say if the 911 is reallythe superior Porsche, but for certain, bothremain true to their heritage, and are thebest options for anyone looking to buy agreat sports car for under $100,000.
This unique event was a far more effec-tive sales tool than having customerscovertly gun down suburban neighbor-hood streets in order to test drive the cars.And despite the thousands of dollarsinvested to ship up a dozen cars andinstructors, it was probably an effectiveone. Now if only I could convince mywife we need a third Porsche! �

For many of us gearhead types, spend-ing a weekend doing car stuff is great,but we can’t always convince the rest

center, plus a coffee shop, gallery and vari-ous boutiques adjacent to the spa and golfpro shop.

Plus thecar show’s beneficiary, the Oregon CoastAquarium, is just a short hop down 101 toNewport. The car show itself is lively andfun with food, wine tasting, art and livemusic on the field, but none of the stressthat some big shows can have. You and thefamily will have fun at this event.

There are many reasons to participatein Driver Education. A few are tohelp make each of us more skilled
and safer drivers, to provide us with theopportunity to learn about our automo-biles, our car control skills, to experience“driving in its purest form” and have a lotof fun doing it.
WHAT IS DRIVER ED AND IS ITRISKY?
We conduct our driver education pro-gram at Portland International Racewayand Oregon Raceway Park. Our programis designed to give participants the oppor-tunity to develop their car control skills atspeeds and cornering forces that cannot beachieved on the street, at least not legallyor safely. People of various skill levelsattend our events because they have agood time and learn from their experi-ence. But bear in mind …
High Performance driving is an inher-ently risky activity. You can lose control ofyour car and damage it, perhaps extensive-ly. And while we haven’t seen this happenyet with our program, it is possible thatyou can be injured or killed, even whileusing the required safety equipment. It isyour responsibility to operate your vehiclewithin your skill level and to make surethat you have adequate insurance coverageto protect you against excessive loss.
Note that many insurance companieshave added coverage exclusions for eventsof this type. Make sure to read your policycarefully and check with your agent tomake sure you are covered.
There are several insurers out there thatcan help you cover your car for loss atHPDE events. Lockton Affinity is one ofthem.
Our registration system will also provideyou a connection to Lockton Afinity. Thecan provide coverage on your vehicle forcollision loss at each HPDE event thatyou register for. Make sure to check outthis coverage if you are uncomfortablewith the financial risk.
Okay, enough warnings.
HOW DOES THE HPDE PROGRAMWORK?
Each new participant begins in theNovice/Beginner group.
First time Novice drivers will have aninstructor in their car and should requestthis at registration time. Instructors areassigned based on driver experience level.Novice students are encouraged to drive atspeeds at which they and their instructorsare comfortable in order to learn the ‘line’and driving fundamentals. The goal is toteach better car control. Students are dis-couraged from traveling at speeds whichcould place them or their cars in jeopardy.
As your skill level develops you willprogress from the Novice/Beginner groupto more experienced driver classes. Youwill be “signed off ” as you progress. Being“signed off ” means that your instructorfeels confident that you can drive “solo”for novices or that you are ready for thenext run group level. He or She willinform the Chief Driving Instructor ofyour changes in status.
Be patient. There is no need to rushdriving “solo.” In fact all drivers from“novice signed off ” to instructor will be“checked out” periodically. We do thisusing various observational methods. It isone way for us to help you become a bet-
ter driver, and it allows us to measure yourprogress and the success of our program.
Each of our instructed events isdesigned to provide the maximum tracktime while keeping the run groups at areasonable size with car and drivers of sim-ilar skill level out on the track. In generalyou will get four run sessions of between20 and 25 minutes during the day. This isvariable depending on incidents that hap-pen during the event that may be beyondour control.
NOTE: To drivers we are unfamiliarwith, driver class placements will beassigned based on documented experi-ence in the MSR system and you may berequired to provide a qualified referenceand/or have a “check” ride to establishthis placement.
It is important to note that ORPCADriver Education is not racing, nor anyform of competition. There are plenty ofother venues if you wish to drive competi-tively. Our program is not one of them.

May ORP Weekend Event a Huge Success!Story by Marlene MacEwan / Photos by Marlene MacEwan and Eric Wishan
The drive along Highway 84 toOregon Raceway Park was beautiful,both weather and scenery. After
stopping in Biggs for gas, I headed southon Highway 97 to Grass Valley. This wasmy fourth trip to this rural course. Thistime, the one mile-plus road out of GrassValley to the track was paved. It was a wel-come change for my 993.
May 14 and 15, Oregon Raceway Parkwas host to ORPCA’s first HPDE andLapping Day combined weekend event for2011. Saturday was HPDE and Sundaywas lapping. This was also Kim Taylor’sfirst event as DE chair, taking over for pastDE Chair Don Clinkinbeard,
ORP is a technically-challenging roadcourse that follows the natural contours ofthe land. It is 2.3 miles with 14 corners.It is quite a delight for novice and instruc-tor alike. It sits in the middle of farmlandwith a beautiful view of Mt Hood (on aclear day)!
Saturday morning was cold and windywith the rain holding off. The first daywas HPDE, High Performance DriverEducation. We had four runs groups(novice, intermediate, advanced andinstructor) with a total of 49 cars.
The groups ran without a hitch untilabout 2 p.m., when Pat Murphy’s GT3took a little spin off track at turn 4 with amechanical issue. He had a wheel failurethat sheared off the spokes of the wheel,separating the hub from the rim and tire.Pat was able to change his tire and leavethe track under his own power.
The day resumed as the rain started.The remainder of the day was very wetand slick. Due to the rain, the eveningwine tasting and dinner was moved to ahall in Grass Valley. The dinner wascatered by the Grass Valley Market. Thewine tasting was provided by CathedralRidge Winery of Hood River. It was a niceevening of socializing and telling stories ofthe day.
Sunday’s lapping day (no run groups,just continual track time with a max of 30cars on the track at one time) started wet,very cold and windy and ended overcastand warmer. The day had 46 participants.The track dried out about 2 p.m. Just
about the time that BMW driver andORPCA instructor Dan D’Agrosa, tookhis car off track between turn 3 and 4.D’Agrosa’s mechanical issue was a lotworse than Murphy’s. A suspension boltfailed and the wheel and brake rotor cameoff the A-arm.
The track was closed for about 45 min-utes as tow vehicles and finally a lifterloaded his BMW onto a flat bed trailer.Everyone breathed a sign of relief. We
were all thankful that Dan was notinjured.
A few drivers took their cars into thegrass at different turns, but were all able toget back on track under their own power.It was a very exciting two days withoutincident, outside of the two mechanicalfailures.
Kim Taylor did a fabulous job runningthe two days. Her first event was a hugesuccess, with compliments from partici-pants, staff and ORP. She orchestrated theentire event with her left arm in a slingafter shoulder surgery last month.
Kim would like to thank her predeces-sors, Don and Debbie Clinkinbeard, forall their years of dedicated service to ourclub with the DE program. She would alsolike to thank her two Chief DrivingInstructors, Andy Jacobson and AndyChenowith; Tom Whitely for pre-registra-tion and pre-grid; Marlene MacEwan forregistration and tower; Cherie Oldenburgand Signa Vernholm for tech form distri-bution and event greeting; Kent Alexanderfor black flag station; Bill Latiolait for gen-eral support; Eddie Nakato for tech of par-ticipants and Oregon Raceway Park fortheir hospitality.
I would definitely recommend ORP asan event to add to your driving experience.Our next event at ORP will be July 16and 17. Hope to see you there! �

Saturday morning arrived and I wasvery excited for it to start, it beingmy second Arrive & Drive.
I was the navigator for Tom Dunbar inhis Silver ‘97 Carrera. We drove up I-5with the promise of sunshine to Miller’sRestaurant in time to talk “Porsche” withother owners and navigators of around 50cars, from early 911s to new 997s and allmodels in between.
After signing waivers and beinginformed by Eric Freedle (A&D Chair)and Steve Lyon (the tourmeister) duringthe drivers’ meeting, the Porsche driverswere eager to explore the route that wasahead of them.
We wound through neighborhoodscatching looks from early morning run-ners and walkers, who would smile andwave as we went by sharing the morninglight. We wound our way through the hillsof Washington County towards ForestGrove to our destination of “Papa’s Toys,”located on the grounds of Davis Trucking,for their annual open house.
On arrival we were met by volunteers(ol’ car guys) that directed us where to
park. After enjoying the many motorcycleand car clubs outside, we went insidewhere the collection was kept. I really did-n’t know what to expect when I walkedinto the warehouse where Papa’s Toys wereon display; little did I know my mindwould be on overload as I walked by andlearned about all 171 cars on display.
I had Tom’s experience to help me takein all the different auto designs and tellme about the different periods of cars. Forthose of you who know Tom, he is awealth of Porsche knowledge. After gettingthe tour with Tom, I’ve learned that Tomjust knows a lot about ALL cars.
“Papa’s Toys” has now raised over$220,000 in donations since the 2000, forDoernbecher Children’s Hospital. Thisyear, over 4,759 were in attendance andover 760 classic cars came to the openhouse.
If you missed this Arrive & Drive,please put it on the calendar for next year;it’s one not to miss! �

(Continued from page 13)the track. We strongly recommend pre-registration if you can do it—you havefirst chance at an instructor, and you won’tget turned away at the gate if we’re at orover the maximum number of cars for theevent. Also, you may run just about anytype of car during our Drivers EducationEvent provided it is track worthy. If youhave a question about whether your vehi-cle qualifies, please email [email protected] to gainclarification.
WE OFFER FOUR DRIVER CLASSESFOR DRIVER EDUCATION
Detailed Driver Benchmarks:Novice/Beginner: The driver has no to
some experience at High Speed Drivingon a Track and will require or probablyneed instruction
Intermediate: The driver has some DEexperience, typically 5 or more DE daysand is in the process of improving theirfundamental skill set. May need someinstruction.
Advanced: The drivers are experienced,usually several years of track experience,they are generally working on perfectingadvanced driving skills and have the abili-ty to drive off the line safely.
Instructor: These are individualsapproved by ORPCA’s Chief Driving
Instructor (CDI) to teach the other partic-ipants.
As event organizers our worst nightmareis the student that registers for a driverclass that is over their head in skill andexperience. Not only does this diminishyour as well as the other participantsenjoyment of the event but it poses apotential safety issue. In order to help usimprove everyone's day we are trackingdriver class signoff in the registration sys-tem. We will verify your registrationagainst our records. If we do not findappropriate approvals we will ask you forjustification to be in the driver class youregistered for.
NOTE: If the HPDE staff finds thatyou have registered for a driver class thatis different than our opinion of your skilllevel, we reserve the right to move you toan appropriate driver class if there isspace available. If not, we may ask you tosit out the rest of the day.
See the website for complete informa-tion on our Driver Skills Benchmarks.
There will be no credits or refunds forfolks that register for the wrong driverclass and are asked to sit out.
Our guidance is to register conservative-ly and if you find you need to move up toa more advanced class you can request acheck ride.
More than once in 2010 I heard thewords, “Well, the intermediate class wasfull so I registered for the advanced class.”Please don’t take this risk because youwere late registering for an event.
FYI: Driver classes and run groups areonly loosely aligned. We will assign youand your vehicle to the run group we feelis appropriate for your car and your docu-mented skill level.
GET YOUR HELMET!As we all know, Porsche Club of
America requires all PCA speed events toenforce the new helmet policy. Per thepolicy only Snell 2005 helmets areAcceptable. While you can find numerousplaces on the Web to order a helmet, get-ting one to fit properly really does requireyou try them on and walk around thestore for a while. Since we like to supportlocal businesses, Ron Brown atCompetition Motorsports (2242 N.Williams, 503.281.1579) has Snell 2005helmets starting at reasonable prices. For$85 to $295 you can get a great open facemodel or $125-$395 for closed face mod-els. This year, Ron donated several helmetsto the Club which we will be using forloaners. Support those that help us!
Finally, remember that an annual tech-nical inspection is required for all partici-pant cars. �

THE DRIVER’S CORNER(Continued from page 9)
A couple of seasoned and impact-experi-enced race drivers offered their insights aswell:
� Taking the feet off the pedals at thevery last moment before impact helps preventbreaking an ankle or leg due to sudden decel-eration against a fixed object, (brake pedal).Keep in mind that the slower the car is mov-ing, the less of an impact will result.
� Removing the hands from the steeringwheel at the last moment before impact helpsto lessen the likelihood of breaking a wrist.
� By using standard high-performancedriving techniques, the driver in the story
could have avoided the incident altogether.Those techniques include:
� Anticipating the unknown: The driverin the story above failed to anticipate a possi-ble traction issue and its effect on his car.
� Braking adequately before entering acorner: On public roads, there is always thepossibility of debris, including ice, oil, leaves,etc. Entering a corner conservatively allowsthe driver more reaction time and traction todeal with an unknown.
� Looking where the car needs to go: Inthe story above, the driver’s eyes locked ontothe wall that he was trying to avoid. Byfocusing on the wall, his hands were likely
steering the car toward the wall. (Eyes controlthe hands, and the hands steer the car.)
� Using the weight of the car to helpincrease traction: In the story above, thedriver lifted his foot off the gas pedal, trans-ferring some weight from the back of the carto the front of the car. When the rear tireswent across the oily road surface, theunloaded rear tires had even less traction,likely causing the start of the slide; the drivercompounded the slide by hitting the brakes,causing the spin.
My many thanks to Joann Fairchild atLegacy Emanuel Hospital and HealthCenter. �

Announcing the Anzeiger Cover Photo Contest!
Grab your camera, and take your best shot. Send in your best Porsche-related photo, and maybe it will appear on an upcomingcover of Anzeiger, the Oregon Region’s award-winning magazine. Enter as often as you like.
Details: Picture Format: Remember that the cover is vertically oriented. That’s Portrait if you are a technical type. If you aren’t, thatmeans turn your camera sideways.
Remember that many digital cameras and software compress the image so much that it becomes unprintable when we try to blow itup to usable size. To not waste your time and perfect photo, set your camera for its highest resolution. That’s the one that uses themost memory.
The fame: Winners will receive major credit in the magazine, so all your Porsche friends will know how great a talent you are.Send your entries to: Bob Schatz, Photo Editor. at [email protected]
