Football is being played - without fans, with masks and no tailgates. Trees are beginning to turn colors - not so much in south Texas. Restric-tions are being relaxed - but Covid 19 isn’t done with us yet. Drives, autocrosses and track days are slowly being rescheduled - but no meetings or social events. Is 2020 over - yet?This virus may have dampened our spirits and curtailed our activities but one thing is for sure - Christmas is coming and kids still need toys. For years, the Longhorn Region has particpated with the Marines to provide Toys for Tots. This is normally done at the Christmas party held in Decem-ber. At this time, being able to have that party is still in doubt but, because of the Covid 19 virus, the need for toys will most likely be greater than ever before. So, to still be able to give to this very important cause, we will be collecting toys at all of our scheduled events. Drives, autocrosses, track days, any socials. Just bring a toy, we will collect them and arrange with the Marines to get the toys to them in December. If you cannot make it to any of the events but still want to contribute, contact me at shelley.l.matthews@gmail.com and I will arrange to pick up your toys. I know the hearts of Porsche people are huge and this is one small way to bring smiles to people who have had a tough year! Look on the website for announcements.LHR elections are coming up so when the ballots come out in October, don’t forget to vote (I think there may be another election coming up for something but I can’t remember what that one is for.....). Anyway, if you are interested in running or nominating someone, send it to Mike Vriesenga at smvri-esenga@icloud.com soon! It may not be too late. The nominating committee wil be send out the list of those running for president, vice president, secretary and treasurer in October. Also, think about getting involved by being a committee chair or serving on a committee. Let’s hope we can get back to “normal” in 2021.Check out Page 22 for information on the LHR Trunk or Treat Trunk or Treat at the Boysville/Girlsville. Come for the fun, show off your car, hand out treats, and give deserving boys and girls a reason to smile this Hal-loween! Details are on the yer (page 22) and on the website.LH ROUNDUP 3

ZONE 5 NOTES CHUCK BUSH, ZONE 5 REP I know there is lots of frustration out there with COVID. There are so many mixed messages on what is safe and unsafe. PCA has a wide variety of enthusiasts with the common love of Porsches. That doesn’t mean we agree on everything though and how to deal with the ongoing pandemic is no exception. You have some members that are reluc-tant to participate in events that expose them to the possibility of infection, some with not a care in the world and many trying to pick a path in the middle that balances risk vs maintaining a normal life. In general, the club will continue to err on the side of caution, and certainly abide by state and local guidelines. The vast majority of our members respect that and, while disappointed when events are cancelled, understand the reasoning.That being said, there is no reason we can’t find work arounds to get out and enjoy some Porsche therapy. Waivers and COVID plans have become the new normal for regional leadership, and there are still a lot of fun events happening across Zone 5. Driver education events, autocrosses, rallies, drives, and socially distant socials are happen-ing with greater frequency. They are just differ-ent than normal. More restrictions and less per-sonal interaction is frustrating, but at least we are getting out there. Thanks to all the folks that are working through the restrictions and finding ways to safely enjoy our cars and each other’s company. If you have creative ideas on holding events - Zoom socials, sim racing, contactless concours and so on, work with your region leadership to bring them to life. In the meantime, be safe, be patient, and we will come out the other side of this stronger than ever.Hope to see you out on the road soon! Chuck Bush Zone 5 Porsche Club of America8 LH ROUNDUP

Meet the Longhorn...Mike VriesengaTell us a bit about yourself/family/background? I grew up in a Catholic family of six as an Air Force brat. I taught high school after college, then became an Air Force ofcer myself. I used the GI Bill to earn a Ph.D., then worked for the Kentucky and Texas state education departments.What year did you join PCA? 2010What other regions have you belonged to? This is the only region.What Porsche(s) do you/have you owned? I owned a 1963 red/black 356B in college. A teenager in an Oldsmobile Cutlass ran a light, tore the rusty bottom out of the car so…. While I was teaching I bought a 1969 912. One day I tried jacking it up and I could hear the rusty metal crunching. The memory still makes my heart fall.In 2010 I went looking at an Acura NSX in the Porsche dealer in Austin. It was an unacceptable automatic, but they had this one-family red/red 1966 912 on the showroom oor. I looked it over and didn’t see any rust. I went back a week later, jacked it up, still didn’t see any rust, and bought it. It has been a ton of fun, but my wife, Sharon, doesn’t care for the noise, manual transmission or lack of AC. After years of saving I found a red/red 2015 Cayman S. I am now done buying Porsches.What’s your favorite Porsche memory? That’s a tough question. I started going to the Hill Country Rallye in 2011, and I have supported it ever since. Nirvana is driving the 912 on 335, the western-most of the Three Sisters, on a clear spring day with no trafc. I get in a rhythm with the hills, so the 912 goes faster than it should downhill, then the next uphill slows me down enough for the next turn. The 912 is a momentum car, so the game is to go “reasonably fast” without braking. It’s 20 minutes of pure driving pleasure.What LHR events do you enjoy most? The Fiesta Concours is an annual highlight.What’s your favorite Porsche? Long-hood 912. I admire them all, mind you. The 356s are timeless and the interior details are bewitching. There are so many 911 varieties the mind boggles. I admired the 928 ever since it came out. The way the trunk of the 987 Cayman disappears between the rear fenders is alluring and feminine. If I had to do it again, I’d buy another 912 (probably).What non-Porsche activities do you enjoy/participate in? A day in the garage, even not tinkering with a Porsche, is a good day. The gym and the lap pool were favorites when they were available. I support Sharon in caring for the lawn and garden. There is a wooden kayak hanging from my garage that I enjoyed when water was deeper, closer, and less rocky.Mike and Sharon on the Pacic Coast Highway at the 912 Registry Rendezvous.Mike and brother-in-law Rick at the 2016 Werks Reunion in Carmel.10 LH ROUNDUP
Meet the Longhorn...Nils SchlebuschTell us a bit about yourself/family/background? French / German, born in Germany. Dad is German, mom is French and spoke to us four kids in both languages in the house. Then moved to Madrid, Spain with family in 1982, after Franco’s death. Studied architecture before focusing on photography, still appreciating design of build-ings but also of cars. It’s in my German blood after all. I am now a travel photographer and enjoy the variety of subjects. What year did you join PCA? I’m a recent addition to PCA, joined about a year ago. What other regions have you belonged to? Longhorn only What Porsche(s) do you/have you owned? My 2009 Cayman is my first Porsche after having owned other German cars. What’s your favorite Porsche memory? Since I was 10 years old I had Porsche on my mind. A friend of my parents, a policeman, drove me from my grandmother’s in Düsseldorf home in south Germany in his black on black 1980 911 Turbo and on the Autobahn asked me very seri-ously, not to talk to him as he was driving fast. That stuck! What LHR events do you enjoy most? I haven’t been able to join the dinners but did enjoy the latest drive to Brenham, even with the rain. What’s your favorite Porsche? I enjoy simple lines, but any of the early 911 Targas are my favorites. What non-Porsche activities do you enjoy/par-ticipate in? I love outdoor activities, camping, tennis, skiing, hiking mountains, and learning to work on my Porsche myself.

Drenched Drive to Brenham On August 22 about 20 Porsches from the Longhorn Region headed east anticipating antiques and ice cream. The skies north of San Antonio grew ominous during the drivers’ meeting at Starbucks in Universal City. Folks pointed nervously at weather radar on their phones and talked excitedly about the orange and red reections headed our way. Rather than wait for the rain, we left the parking lot a little earlier than planned. The rst part of the drive was not what you want for a PCA event. 1604 and I-10 were clogged with construction equipment, and the rain began in earnest as soon as we headed east on I-10. Caution was the word of the day, and we saw at least one pickup hydroplaned and wound up stranded on the verge.After a brief stop at Buc-ee’s, we left the freeway for more pleasant driving. The rain slackened as we headed north through Rosansky, and then parallel the Colorado River on 2571 into Smithville, home of the Sandra Bullock/Harry Connick, Jr. romantic comedy “Hope Floats.” After Smithville we headed east on Highway 153, again paralleling the Colorado River, on long sweeping turns that glide through ranch country and the tiny town of Winchester. Post Oak road provided an interesting series of 90 degree turns before we drove through the antiques corridor of Warrenton and Roundtop enroute to Brenham. The skies cleared just as we pulled into Brenham, so we were able to enjoy the town without umbrellas. Sadly, Brenham’s most famous business, Blue Bell Creamery, was not open for tours when we arrived. However, downtown Brenham had ample free parking, and it is always a treat to see such a variety of beautiful (if wet and dirty) Porsches in one place. Because of the quarantine, folks headed in all directions to nd food in small groups, wander the streets, and take in sights like the antique re equipment. All told it was a pleasure to be out and about with good folks and great cars. After a long wet drive, perhaps it is a good thing the quarantine grants ample time for cleaning and polishing.It’s cloudy and dreary but it’s time to drive! With masks and social distancing, Covid can’t keep us contained.It’s a wet stop at Buc-ee’s but we are stillhaving fun!14 LH ROUNDUP

Cayman ChroniclesGlacier National ParkBanff, AB to Whitefish, MT.Unexpected global warming in SeptemberGoing To The Sun Road, Glacier National Park It was difficult to take a poor picture on this scenic road!After attending the September 12-15, 2018, Treffen at The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Canada, I began my journey back to Texas. I decided to take the long way home. On the way to the Canadian/US Border, I stopped for lunch at Fired Up Breakfast and Burgers in Radium Hot Springs, Alberta, where I had my first and last elk burger! After gassing up, I headed for the Grouse Mountain Lodge in Whitefish, Montana.Whitefish is a picturesque small town with all of the outdoor outfitters for your summer or winter adven-tures. It is also known as the gateway to Glacier National Park! The drive to the West Glacier entrance was easy but the whole time I was wondering if the Going To The Sun (GTTS) road would be open. It was closed for a few weeks because of wild-fires in the park. Luck was with me: the GTTS road opened on the day I arrived! I stopped at the West Glacier gift shop and had an interesting conversation with a park ranger and another guest. I mentioned that I was heading to the other side of the park to stay in the East Glacier Lodge. Both recommended that I take Highway 2, the fastest route, and by-pass the 16 LH ROUNDUP
Article and Photos by Stephen GrigoryGTTS! I could not believe it! I explained that I had all day because I could not check into the lodge until 3:00 p.m. So I ignored them and headed to the GTTS... Although the West Glacier visitor center was packed, the GTTS was not too congested. The scenery was stunning and as the Ranger explained to me, there is a reason for all the pullouts along the road in all the national parks! Leaving Glacier National Park, Highway 89 inter-sects the town of St. Mary. The road is a fun, winding and twisty drive on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Many hairpin curves are designated 10 and 20 miles per hour. I encourage spirited driving!

I enjoyed lunch, explored the area and then turned east again and repeated the GTTS! It is well worth the extra time!LH ROUNDUP 17

MOTORSPORT RAMBLINGS BY JACK MERRELL September already and we haven’t had a motor-sport event yet but hold on to your hats, that is changing. I have spoken with the people at Harris Hill this past week and the repaving is moving along. They expect to be open by mid-September at the latest with basically a completely re-paved and smooth track.I have confirmed two track days for the fall: October 24 and November 21. Additionally, I have provided the board guidelines, now approved, to run the events and stay within the Covid 19 guidelines. We will be limited to 24 drivers plus instructors.We will have the drivers’ meeting outside, maintain-ing social distances as best we can. Additionally, there will be no in-car instruction. Should a new driver need individual coaching, we can put an instructor on the track and have the student follow him.The schedule will be the same as usual, with tech inspection completed by 8:00 a.m. followed by the drivers’ meeting and car staging. The first run for each group---Novice, Intermediate and Advanced---will be follow the leader. The first car should be on the track by 9:00 a.m.. We will be done by 1:00 p.m..It’s not too early to get your cars and your other equipment ready. My previous articles have offered advice on preparing yourself and your car for the track. Get ready! October will be here before you know it.Other Racing NewsIn other motorsport news, it appears that Mercedes Benz is continuing where they left off in a curtailed Formula 1 schedule with Lewis Hamilton clearly ahead in the points standing. He is well on his way to a record, tying 7th World Championship title. A hard luck cloud has hovered over the PORSCHE RSR team in IMSA but hopefully a wind will blow it away and the potential of the latest 911 RSR will carry them to the podium in the remaining races. Well, not much else for this month, stay cool the rest of the summer and get ready for the fall track days! Check the website for registration.Drive safely! Editor’s note - track has been re-paved and is now open.LH ROUNDUP 19
Boxstoberfest The Lone Star Region, along with the Zone 5 repre-sentative and Longhorn’s own Chuck Bush, coordi-nated this year’s annual Boxsterfest. The event drew 60 cars and 137 people to the airport and Hanger Hotel in Fredericksburg, Texas. Because of COVID 19, some events were scaled back or cancelled but the weekend was still enjoyable. People followed virus restrictions by wearing masks and social distancing and enjoyed two beautiful days with their Porsches and friends.Planned events on Friday included a Gimmick Rally, a pre-drive of the main route, and a bus tour to several of the local wineries. Saturday’s lineup included a show and shine lineup of cars, the main route drive of approximately 225 miles through the beautiful Hill Country, a non-guided scenic drive, and gimmick rally. For those wanting to go off on their own, Fredericksburg offers an amazing downtown for shopping, the National Museum of the Pacific War and Admiral Nimitz Gallery, over 50 wineries, and endless Hill Country roads to drive. Unfortunately, the usual cocktail reception and Saturday night dinner were cancelled because of COVID 19 restrictions.A big thanks to the sponsors for the event - Lone Star Region, PCA Zone 5, Einers Garage in Houston, VP Racing, and Porsche San Antonio.The Gimmick Rally took participants to 8 Historical Hill Country Schools.

The rst Porsche Parade, what’s in a name?It’s been wrien many mes in PCA history and lore, something to the eect, “At the rst naonal gath-ering there was a parade of Porsches and the name stuck”. Catchy phrase, I like it – not true.So, let’s go back to December 1955 and the rst issue of Panorama. The rst menon of what would become the Porsche Parade is in Pano #1. The membership is asked if they would like a “Naonal Rally” and a few suggesons are oered.The February ‘56 issue has the tentave plans for the “First Naonal PCA Symposium and Rally”. Glad they chose a shorter name.In the March ‘56 Pano the “Report on PCA Naonal Rally” indicates 67 responses with 50 planning on aending.The event gets its name, Porsche Parade, in the April 56 Pano, months before the event, not aer. The cost may have scared some people o; Victory Dinner $3.00 including drinks.TheFirstPorsche ParadeName Tags fromthe rst ParadeRJ Wilmoth, PCA National HistorianPCA Archives Shep AtkinsLH ROUNDUP 23
The event was held at the Washingtonian Motel in Gaithersburg Maryland and hosted by the Potomac Region. There is no menon of a “Parade of Porsches” on the schedule and there was no Concours. The event was only four days long and the schedule shows a TSD Rallye, Gymkhana, Tech sessions and a nal awards banquet. The rst Naonal PCA board meeng was held and saw the appointments of people outside of the Wash-ington DC area for the rst me. Fourteen people were appointed to the rst group of Regional Exec-uves. This was a posion similar to the PCA Zone Representaves of today. A few people that did not aend were noed of their new posion and dues by mail. The leers and envelopes were on Arthur Murray Dance Studio leerhead since the newly appointed Policy Chairman, Bing Ford, operated a few dance studios.August ‘56 was the rst “Parade issue” of Panorama much like what we see today with pictures and re-sults.

There were ten trophies to be awarded. Jack and Gin-ny Case won four including the “big ones”, 1st overall and 1st in the TSD Rally. Although most entries were from the Mid-Atlanc and New England, there were one each from Florida, Texas, and Tacoma Washington.Howard Miles and his wife Maria traveled from Ta-coma Washington in their Speedster, camping along the way as the photo shows.

Pictured on the right cleaning his 356 at the 1st Parade is Don Wester. Don was a student at the GM Instute in Flint Michigan at the me. Seventeen years later he was owner of Wester Porsche + Audi and a sponsor of the 1973 Parade in Monterey. Don was a successful Porsche racing driver in everything from Carrera Speedsters to the 906.The exact number of aendees isn’t recorded. There were 65 cars pre-reregistered, and about 120 people in aendance. The next year there were over 100 cars entered.The Porsche Parade was o and running.1957 saw the Parade in the same locaon with the Potomac region once again hosng the event.
