The President’s ColumnNicolas Liakas

A Letter of Thanks

The recently concluded experiment of extending

our annual Memorial Day Weekend trip to a two-part adventure was a huge success. Eighty percent of the 56 who registered for the 2012 tours of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks chose to participate in the “Part B” portion of the outing and continued on to Yosemite National Park for three more fun-!lled days. Six days of viewing majestic sites and driving along roads that were just right for Porsches paled by comparison to the camaraderie enjoyed and shared throughout the trip.

I state the above because so many spontaneous moments of child-play and pranks highlighted the communal enjoyment of our friendships. For example, the snowball !ght at Sequoia Visitor’s Center proved two things: we are still young at heart, and Southern Californians do not know how to make snowballs (but we learn quickly). Some drivers were castigated for their management of the tra"c lights along a stretch of the road being repaved in Sequoia, while others were admired for their manic need to wash their cars every day.

What I am striving to explain is that our club activities foster lifelong memories and create an extended family. I wish that all

our members could experience the bene!ts of participating in our events. Our membership stands at about 1,200 (including associates), but we routinely have about ten percent participating. #e rest do not know what they are missing!

I joined the Santa Barbara Region in 1994, but I did not participate in any of its activities until seven years later. What a mistake! I was under the impression that the membership had to be cliquish, that newcomers would not be welcomed or !t in with the veterans, that the “new kid on the block” would be le$ out. Today, none of those is true, and special e%orts are made to welcome and include everyone. At the Memorial Day weekend tour, six members of the San Gabriel Valley Region joined us. By the end of the tour, they could not stop thanking us for our warm reception and their inclusion at all functions during the weekend.

I will keep encouraging our members to “dip their toes” into our community of friends and neighbors. Take part in one of our monthly breakfast meetings, or register for one of our monthly driving tours, such as the progressive dinner or chili cook-o% during the next couple of months. See for yourself what this precious group is all about. By the way, it’s a great way to truly enjoy your Porsche. Trust me, there is no !ner sight on the road than a string of 30 or 40 or 50 Porsches cruising to a common destination! I promise that you will be placed in the middle of the parade so you may enjoy the front and rear views.

Our July 11, 2012 Board of Directors’ dinner meeting will be held at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel at Ventura Harbor, 6:30 p.m. You are invited to attend, but please so inform me in advance. It will be great to see you there, or at any of our gatherings.

Many of you know about my bout with three cancer incidents: prostate surgery in 2008, a surprise colon cancer surgery in April 2011, a liver surgery (subsequent to the colon cancer) in November 2011, and !nally the chemotherapy, which I just !nished. It’s been quite a ride. If any of you have questions or concerns, please feel free to ask me about my experience. I won’t mind sharing.

All of this was made tolerable by members of the Santa Barbara Region Porsche Club. #e prayers, cards, phone calls, e-mails, help with “handyman” tasks, visits, tons of soup recipes, food supplements, and hot dishes delivered to our door were all awesome and up-li$ing.

For the unbelievable support from many of the SBR members, my extended family, I wish to thank all of you a thousand times. Being without kids, siblings or close-by relatives (kind of like alone on an island), you have no idea what this support has meant to me and Joan.

#e club motto: “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people” is really so true; it just happens that we all love to shine and drive our cars.

#ank you all.

On display at breakfast, a 2012 Cayman R from Rusnak, which drew a lot of admiring eyes.

After several years of being a “very good friend” to our club, Rusnak Director of Parts & Service Sam Abergel has !nally become a full-"edged member of the Santa Barbara Region! Please give Sam a warm welcome, as always, at our next gathering.

Camarillo Breakfast

Clouds Can’t Hide The FunSTORY & PHOTOS BY JOHN ALFENITO

June 2, 2012

Unfortunately, the “June Gloom” we so o!en experience in Southern California was right on schedule as a thick overcast of marine layer greeted the 106 members,

friends, and guests who gathered at "e Way-Point Café for our June Breakfast Meeting. Once again the lawn adjacent to the patio was a little too wet and mushy for Porsche parking, so those not early enough to get runway apron spots were relegated to the restaurant’s front lot. Nonetheless, 72 Porsches attended, and there were beautiful examples of all genres, including two pristine late ‘50s 356 Speedsters.

President Nicolas Liakas welcomed everyone and gave us a quick, very positive assessment of the just completed Memorial Day Double Discovery Drive to three of California’s most scenic national parks. Full coverage of that epic adventure starts on page 15.

Nick made a special point of introducing Ben Coats’s son, Sam, who is a #!h grader in Ventura County. Sam had recently competed in quali#cations for the National Spelling Bee. Battling against 1100 applicants from third to eighth grades, Sam was chosen as one of the 100 #nalists, and he #nished third overall! Encouraged by the experience, Sam plans on competing again next year.

Activities Co-Chair Doreen Pankow reminded everyone about the upcoming events on the SBR schedule. As always, a complete listing of all future activities can be found here in Der Auspu$ or on our website. Popular events in the near future that are bound to “sell out” include the annual Chili Cook-O$ on July 21 and the Progressive Dinner set for August 25. Sign up for these A.S.A.P.

It was another successful breakfast get-together in Camarillo with many more to come. Make your plans to polish up the Porsche and join us. =

The private dining room !lled up quickly for our June Santa Barbara Breakfast meeting. "e combination of an overcast morning and a very low tide moved most of the arrivees

into Moby Dick’s quite quickly a#er their arrival.

SBR President Nicolas Liakas called the business portion of the gathering together a#er our meals had arrived. He welcomed Lynn & Evonne Kuchera, who joined us for breakfast a#er being away from the club for a while. It was great to see them. Nick also welcomed back Don & Linda Kuckenbaker, who had recently returned from a six-week cross-country drive to the East Coast. Reminding one and all that there is now a handy “suggestion box” feature on the SBR website, Nick encouraged anyone with an idea or complaint to put this new con!guration to work. Additionally, former SBR President Suzi Sheller will be contacting many of our region’s longtime members to survey their opinions about the SBR’s direction. Always good to stay in touch with all the members, new and old.

Speaking of new/old members, Membership Chair Sue Kinsling introduced Steve & Sherry Draghi, previous SBR members who were now rejoining us. Sue also gave us the o$cial tally for the day: 53 members, friends and guests; 37 Porsches.

Nick, !lling in for Membership Co-Chairs Ted Lighthizer and Doreen Pankow, highlighted some upcoming activities, particularly the Member Appreciation Brunch, which would take place later in the month. As always, a complete list of future events was on each breakfast table, and the calendar of future activities is on page 3 of each issue of Der Auspu%. =

Please welcome back to our region Sherry & Steve Draghi.

The cars are the stars the second Saturday morning of every month on Stearns Wharf.

The R.U.F. Report

On May 17, 2012 thirteen members of the R.U.F group met in Pasadena in front of the famed

California cra!sman “bungalow” known as the Gamble House. We came for a docent guided tour of this 8200 square foot home designed and built by renowned architects, Charles and Henry Greene, in the early 1900’s for Proctor and Gamble heir David Gamble. "e Gamble House sits on a private street with lovely grounds near the Arroyo Seco. We were lucky to have a sunny day with mild temperatures, reminding us of the attraction of Southern California to people such as the Gambles, who were used to the harsher weather of the Midwest.

Upon entering the foyer of the house many remarked on the subdued lighting which was accentuated by the multiple types of wood used throughout the house including teak, maple, oak, Port Orford

cedar and mahogany. "e large front door had stained glass insets which portrayed tree shapes suggestive of bringing the outdoors inside.

"roughout the house much of the original furniture was on display. "is furniture had been designed by Greene and Greene to harmonize and complement the design of the house.

We were shown many design features of the house which included concealed doors, one of which was in the foyer and allowed immediate access to the kitchen so that servants could answer the front door promptly. Another state-of-the-art feature was an enunciator in the kitchen which allowed for communication between all of the rooms and the sta# in the kitchen.

We toured the three $oors of the house and learned about the design of the large

front room on the main $oor. "is room had multiple uses in several di#erent areas including living room, parlor, library and game room, something akin to the more modern great rooms. Each of the bedrooms on the second $oor had its own exterior sleeping porch. "ese were apparently used regularly by the family. "e third $oor was planned as a billiard room but instead was utilized as an attic .

We learned that the Gamble House is commonly regarded as an American Art and Cra!s masterpiece with its use of natural materials, attention to detail aesthetics and cra!smanship. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977.

At the conclusion of our tour we embarked as a group to share a delicious lunch at a local Pasadena favorite, Marston’s Restaurant. =

STORY: PART 1 BY TED LIGHTHIZER & DOREEN PANKOW

PHOTOS BY DON EARL, NICOLAS LIAKAS, & TED LIGHTHIZER

Friday, May 27th dawned a sunny day with some cloud cover, and the forecast for our Memorial Day weekend trip looked great, or so we thought! In the early morning, 50 SBR members gathered in Moorpark to receive the driving instructions for our 210-mile trip to

the beautiful Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

At 8:00 a.m., the group of 25 Porsches le! the parking lot and the journey began. We headed North over Grimes Canyon to Fillmore and then East on CA-126. Just before our I-5 North turn-o", three couples from the PCA San Gabriel Valley Region, Je" & Margaret Srinivsan, Kirk & Cathy Gerbracht and Matthew & Linda Stone, joined our group on this fun adventure, making a total of 56 participants. #e oldest Porsche on the drive was a 1988 911

driven by Joe Niederst, and the newest Porsche was a 2012 991 driven by Matthew Stone of the PCA/SGVR.

We arrived in #ree Rivers, just outside the park, in time for a relaxing lunch at the River View Restaurant where we sat on the open air patio and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Kaweah River $owing at our side. A!er lunch we drove through the Ash Mountain entry into the Sequoia National Park to the Crystal Caves for a guided tour.

Our guide led us through %ve large rooms on paved, lighted pathways and pointed out unique features and formations. Beautiful geology, impressively large rooms and ornate marble polished by a subterranean stream made the 45-minute tour of Crystal Cave an unforgettable experience. It was snowing lightly on the mountain as the group returned to #ree Rivers to check-

in at the Comfort Inn & Suites, our home base for three nights. Everyone had time to get settled before dinner.

On Saturday morning following our drivers’ meeting, we headed back up the General’s Highway to explore the beauty of Sequoia National Park and enjoyed the spectacular views of snow-dusted trees and mountain peaks. Sequoia and Kings Canyon lie side by side in the southern Sierra Nevada range east of the San Joaquin Valley. !e landscape testi"es to nature’s size, beauty and diversity with huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns and the largest and oldest trees on earth.

We parked our Porsches at the Giant Forest Museum and took a shuttle to Moro Rock where we climbed a quarter-mile up the 400 steps carved into the rock. !e cloud cover did limit the panoramic views of the high Sierra and canyons, but the rock structure itself was beautiful. A#er returning to the museum, all the snow on the ground was too tempting, so a snowball "ght ensued among our members with President Nick Liakas launching the "rst of many snowball missiles.

Following lunch at the Wuksachi Lodge, part of the group drove to the Lodgepole area and enjoyed a 3 ½ mile round trip hike along the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River. !e trail took us past the impressive 1800-foot-high granite face of !e Watchtower and ended at Tokopah Falls which is 1200 feet high. We continued to experience a few light snow %urries mixed with small hail throughout the hike, but that simply added to the outing and no one seemed to mind.

Most stopped to take the short hike into the Giant Forest to see the General Sherman giant sequoia tree, the earth’s largest tree at 275 feet tall. Its circumference at the ground is nearly 103 feet and it is estimated to be 2200 years old. Others stopped at Hospital Rock to see the Native American pictographs and mortars. !at evening a#er relaxing a bit at the hotel, we drove to the Gateway Restaurant for cocktails and dinner, and we enjoyed great food and the camaraderie of our friends.

We awoke Sunday morning to a clear sunny day and drove to Kings Canyon to explore the Grant Grove and Cedar Grove areas via Dry Creek and Badger Roads, which were designed for a challenging Porsche drive. We stopped "rst in Grant’s Grove to see General Grant’s tree, which President Coolidge proclaimed as the National Christmas tree in 1926.

!is beautiful tree is 267 feet tall, 107 feet in circumference and is over 1700 years old.

A#er exploring Grant’s Grove area, we continued our drive through Kings Canyon and stopped at several viewing areas to enjoy the breathtaking sights of the canyon below. !is glaciated

valley features towering granite cli&s, tumbling waterfalls, and the powerful Kings River – the river canyon that gives the park its name. Two prominent rock formations, the North Dome (elevation 8,717 feet) and Grand Sentinel (elevation 8,518 feet) rise 3,500 feet above the canyon %oor.

As we dropped to the bottom of the canyon, adjacent to the highway the Kings River was moving swi#ly with the Spring run-o&. Coming into the Cedar Grove area, we stopped at the Roaring River Falls, where the water rushes through a narrow granite chute, and also at Grizzly Falls, and enjoyed the cool spray from both waterfalls.

A#er lunch, many stopped to enjoy a 1 ½ mile hike through Zumwalt Meadow where we enjoyed splendid views of high granite walls and the meandering Kings River through the meadow. Everyone spent the rest of the day exploring other areas of the park before returning to !ree Rivers. We enjoyed dinner sitting on the patio at the Casa Mendoza restaurant with wonderful Mexican cuisine. Over half of the group had scheduled to continue on to the second half of our Discovery

Drive. Our next stop would be Yosemite National Park. >>>

A!er three invigorating and challenging days of freezing temperatures, cloudy skies, snow (and snowball "ghts), hail, exploring caves, climbing rocks and hiking along swollen creeks and rivers, 34 members of our group still wanted more. So,

on Memorial Day, we headed north on CA Highway 63 and then west on CA Highway 180 in search of more adventures at the most magical and awesome destination of Yosemite National Park.#is national treasure embraces a great tract of scenic wildlands set aside in 1890 to preserve a rugged and spectacular portion of the Sierra Nevada that stretches along California’s eastern $ank. Ranging from 2,000 feet above sea level to more than 13,000 feet, the park encompasses alpine wilderness, groves of giant sequoia trees, and of course Yosemite Valley. At every turn, the beautiful and rare are commonplace in Yosemite.

Our exploration of the park commenced Monday a!ernoon immediately a!er a lunch break in Oakhurst, CA (where our two host hotels were located). #e drive north on CA Highway 41 was enjoyable but paled by comparison to what awaited us a few miles into the park. Our "rst destination was Glacier Point, a locale perched high above the valley that provides magni"cent bird’s-eye views of the valley below, Half Dome, and Vernal and Nevada Falls as well as Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. Glacier Point can overwhelm you with the vast scenery, especially at sunset. #e panoramic expanse to the north and east evokes awe. To get there, though, we endured very heavy holiday tra%c and road detours necessitated by the lack of available parking spots at the end of the road.

Monday’s agenda took us next to the valley $oor. We were treated to a special vantage point on the way to the valley when we

stopped at #e Tunnel View and marveled at the iconic image of the Yosemite Valley (pictured above). When we made it to the $oor, we splintered into small groups or sole couples to explore numerous points of interest. Some of us headed for Yosemite Falls while others sought refuge at the historic and magni"cent Ahwahnee Lodge. O!en called “#e Incomparable Valley,” Yosemite Valley may be the world’s best-known example of a glacier-carved canyon. #e dramatic scale of its waterfalls, rounded domes, massive monoliths and towering cli&s has inspired painters, poets, photographers and the romantics among us as well as millions upon millions of visitors. From the valley $oor one can examine the Merced River, Half Dome, El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks. We enjoyed being sprayed by Bridalveil Falls, looking for rock climbers on El Capitan, crossing the Sentinel Bridge and seeing John Muir’s cottage.

#ere is so much to see and do on the valley $oor, so we le! Tuesday open for each participant to pursue an individual agenda and to explore destinations of particular interest to them. Some hiked to Mirror Lake, others strained to reach Vernal and Nevada Falls. Eleven of us ventured onto the Panorama Trail for a vigorous hike of eight miles that was expected to last about "ve hours. #ose not inclined to stretch their endurance enjoyed all the available activities at Curry Village or took guided tours of the park. Twenty-one of our original 36 regrouped that evening as we traveled to Bass Lake for dinner at the Pine Tree Resort. #e small marina and man-made lake provided the perfect setting for a casual and festive occasion.

We were saddened to leave, but Wednesday morning required the return trip home. Our Memorial Day Weekend (now week-long) adventure came to an end, but there were plenty of conversations regarding next year’s plans. Stay tuned. =

PORSCHE BRAKE SYSTEMS

The Tech Page

BY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS

Porsches have always been known for having exceptional braking systems. !e marque’s competition pedigree is largely

responsible for this, as is Porsche’s traditional rear- and mid-engine layout. In this month’s article, I will explain how disc brakes work and go into more detail about how Porsche’s vaunted brake systems are superior to most. I will also discuss two possible side e"ects of such high performance brakes: noise and brake dust.

Brakes work by using friction. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the pedal moves a rod that actuates the brake master cylinder. !e master cylinder transfers brake #uid through a series of brake lines and hoses to the brake calipers. !e brake calipers contain pistons, which are moved by the brake #uid and squeeze the brake pads inward against the surface of each brake rotor. !e friction of the brake pad material against the brake rotors slows down the wheels and allows the vehicle to reduce its speed and come to a stop. Modern Porsches use large $xed brake calipers with four, or sometimes six, pistons each to provide maximum clamping force and even pad wear. !e $xed calipers also resist #exing to provide solid brake pedal feel and consistent braking. Porsche also invented the notion of the brake caliper as a high performance fashion accessory in the mid-1990s, with large colorful calipers peeking out from behind the alloy wheels.

Because the weight of a vehicle transfers forward during braking, the front brakes perform the majority of the work of slowing the vehicle. !erefore the front

brakes are larger than the rear brakes in most cars. When the engine is in the rear of the car, as in most Porsche sports cars, the rearward weight bias means the rear brakes have a more signi$cant contribution while braking. !is translates into more e"ective braking and shorter stopping distances than in a similar front-engine car.

Porsche’s brake systems are superior to most in that the components are generally larger than the nominal size needed to stop the car e"ectively based on vehicle weight and engine power. All modern Porsches use multi-piston $xed calipers that act upon massive cross-drilled and ventilated

rotors. !e brake rotor acts as a heat sink that absorbs the heat generated by braking, and bigger is better in this regard. Larger brakes do not necessarily stop the car in a shorter distance as much as they ensure that repeated, heavy brake applications can take place without brake fade. Brake fade can occur when the brakes overheat from continuous heavy braking during hard driving, such as on a mountain road or a racetrack. When the brake pads exceed their maximum heat range due to size or friction material limitations, they actually lose their ability to generate enough of a coe%cient of friction to slow the car down.

When brake fade occurs, the brakes do not slow down the car e"ectively, no matter how hard the driver pushes on the brake pedal. !is is an extreme and dangerous situation that will not likely ever be experienced by Porsche drivers on public roads thanks to generously sized and well-ventilated brake components, along with fade-resistant pad compounds.

All modern Porsches have vented brake rotors with internal vanes that dissipate heat as the rotors turn. Porsche also equips most of its cars with cross-drilled brake rotors, which were pioneered in the 1970s for racing car brakes. !e holes (that are

actually cast into the rotors instead of drilled) provide an escape for the gases that can be generated by the friction of the brake pad material against the rotor, therefore

increasing the brakes’ e"ectiveness. It must be noted that by the early 1990s most race cars abandoned cross-drilling in favor of slotting the face of the rotors instead. !e drilled brake rotors were prone to cracking around the edges of the holes in the rigors of a racing environment.

However, Porsche continues to use cross-drilled rotors in its street cars to this day, likely due to weight savings (reducing rotating mass is critical in high performance cars) and the fact that they allow for excellent stopping power in wet weather conditions since any water on the

Modern Porsches use large !xed brake calipers with four, or sometimes six, pistons each to provide maximum clamping force and even pad wear.

Continued on page 22

The front brake caliper unit for a Porsche 996


face of the brake rotors is quickly dispersed through the holes. Street-driven Porsche rotors can have small cracks form around the holes, but this is relatively normal with hard use, and Porsche o!cially allows for cracks up to seven millimeters in length before it’s considered unsafe. Curiously, the Cayenne SUV is unique in Porsche’s lineup by featuring solid rotors. "e holes in cross-drilled rotors could become clogged with mud or other debris from o#-road use, and we all know how many Cayennes are used for serious o#-roading!

Brake pads and rotors are wear items that must be periodically replaced. All Porsches since the mid-1980s feature wire wear sensors that plug into each of the

brake pads. When the brake pads wear down enough to sever the wire loop that is stuck into the each of the pads, a warning light will illuminate in the instrument cluster. When the brake lining warning $rst comes on, the pads in question still have approximately 10% of their original thickness remaining. "erefore it is not an emergency to replace the brakes at that instant, but they should be replaced as soon as possible.

As the brake pads wear down and the friction material becomes thinner, the brake rotors actually do the same. Due to the aggressive nature of most of Porsche’s original brake pad compounds, the rotors are usually worn to near their minimum thickness speci$cation at the same time as

the pads and should be replaced as well. Careful measurement by an experienced technician can verify if rotor thickness is su!cient enough to be able to re-use the rotors.

At my shop, we generally recommend replacing the rotors with each pad replacement due to the fact that the brakes can become noisy if only the pads are replaced. Brake squeal is caused by the normal high frequency vibration of the brake components. New brake pads and rotors e#ectively wear into each other, and a thin layer of the friction material of the brake pad is transferred to the surface of the brake rotor. If new pads are installed with used rotors, it is possible for the layer of new friction material to be

transferred unevenly, causing increased vibration of the brake components, possibly within the audible range of the human ear, which causes the annoying squeal that we all hate. “Warped” brake rotors are actually caused by uneven pad material transfer rather than actual warping of the iron brake rotor material. "e resultant uneven rotor surface can cause vibration during braking that is felt through the pedal.

Some inferior a%ermarket brake pads and rotors can be noisy out of the box no matter how carefully installed and bedded in, so we recommend

original equipment brake pads and rotors whenever possible. Porsche brake components are expensive, but it is o%en worth it to replace all wear components at each brake replacement to ensure quiet and smooth braking performance.

Brake dust is likely a close second to brake noise as a perpetual source of annoyance to Porsche owners. Brake dust refers to a buildup of particles of the brake pad friction material that have worn away, and has a frustrating tendency to stubbornly cling to the spokes of alloy wheels. As previously mentioned, Porsche tends to use brake pads with aggressive metallic compounds in order to provide instant “bite” when the brake pedal is applied. "ese compounds also can handle much more heat than the

average passenger car brake pad compound, increasing fade resistance. "is is excellent for the twisty mountain roads, racetracks, and Autobahns that are Porsche’s natural habitat. But, these pads can be slightly noisy when cold, especially if the car is driven infrequently or mainly for short trips. Brake dust is the other necessary evil that comes from metallic brake pads.

"ere are a%ermarket organic and ceramic brake pad compounds available that are quiet and generate little to no brake dust. In fact, Porsche itself actually began installing ceramic pads from the factory in the 2010 Panamera sedans and in 2011 and newer Cayennes bound for the North American market for this reason. As with many things in life, the ceramic pads are a compromise in that, while they are more than adequate for the average American driver’s needs, the ultimate braking performance is not as e#ective as with a metallic compound. Also, the ceramic pads are so%er and actually compress more during braking than a metallic pad, causing the newer Cayennes and Panameras to have a so%er brake pedal compared to Porsche’s traditional solid, rock-hard pedal feel.

In closing, it must be emphasized that no matter what brake pad material is used or how large the brake components are, the brakes are only as good as the tires that are installed on the vehicle. A car’s ability to stop depends on the friction of the tires’ contact patches with the road, and if the tires are worn out or improper for the conditions of the road, the car will not slow down and stop e#ectively. For more information about tires for your Porsche, see the April 2012 issue of Der Auspu#. =

...the last word

“It Was GOOD!”So, How Was Breakfast?

Santa Barbara Region Treasurer Jim Brown was quick on the call at the June Camarillo Breakfast. Without any hesitation, he indicated that his breakfast was “good.”

We really have no idea why he did this, but we suspect the striped shirt (and the prodding of the photographer) may have had something (everything) to do with it.

Good call, Jim.
