The History of NNJR Region of the Porsche Club of America
2020
2020, the Endless Covid Bummer…a near Virtual Performance
Our two Thovson award winners allowed NNJR to “go digital and go virtual” without missing a beat. P4US Editor Petra Swift & Program Chair Shannon Muller brought prior hardcopy newsletter and live monthly meetings online attaining record viewer-ship. Incredible virtual speakers, like Hurley Haywood at Brumo’s new Museum, Petersen Automotive Museum on Wilshire in LA, were most happy to sign on to present live streaming to our NNJR YouTube Channel.
Our NNJR website YouTube channel and Facebook sites achieved high levels of social readership/participation with thousands of hours logged online.
One of NNJR’s long-time favorite meetings is Slide Night, co-hosted by Dom Miliano & John Vogt, the annual “slide night” broke all records for entrants. In past years, 20 to 25 participants was a big night. This time, because of the virtual nature and focus on Porsche only, we had 45 participants, with high quality images submitted in the “everyone with cell/camera” era
Thru sheer determination and a high level of organization typically seen at professional IMSA events, DE Chair Thom Calabro literally willed a portion of NNJR’s DE season to happen! Grant Lenahan aptly managed to drive AutoX events
While John Vogt award-winning people-intensive rally season and summer BBQ were not to be, John invented new venues to keep NNJR membership in play, e.g. an outdoor Drive-In movie & Vineyard Trek

President Letter 2017
/in President's Letter /by nnjr-pcaI just returned from our Introduction to High Performance Driving seminar where we introduce driver
ed, autocross and our famous car control clinic to drivers who have not yet participated in these activities.
The seminar was very well attended, which was so nice to see.
On the way home I was listening to the radio and the famous Janis Joplin song came on where she sings;
“All my friends drive Porsches, I must make amends…oh Lord, don’t ya buy me a Mercedes Benz..”
and I began to wonder how many songs actually reference or call out Porsche. So I started searching the
internet… (hey, it’s winter and it’s too cold to work on the car).
Savage Garden: “…So slide into your Jag, or Porsche baby,…” (All Around Me)
Joan Armatrading: “…He would die for a Porsche all covered up in chrome…” (Shape of a Pony)
Weird Al Yankovich: “…Just watch me pass that Porsche on the right…” (Belvedere Cruising)
Fresh Prince: “..We are doin’ 90 in my Mom’s new Porsche,…” (Parents Just Don’t Understand)
Someone told me that Roger Waters mentions “Porsche” in “It´s a miracle” from the album Amused To
Death.
The BAND: “…Miss Cristina drives a 944” (Welcome to the Boomtown)
Rod Stewart: “…Never gonna own a race horse or a fast-back mid-engine Porsche…” (True Blue)
Beck: “One’s on a Porsche, the other’s on a ….”
Juliana Hatfield: “…in a silver Porsche, polished and waxed…” (Road Wrath)
I then found a lyrics web site that claims to have identified 1065 song lyrics that have “Porsche” in them.
Wow, I wonder how many of them say something positive about Porsche versus negative.
So it seems that Porsche goes well beyond the car nuts I associate with and is often mentioned in songs.
I wonder how many songs reference Ferrari. Well, that lyrics site indicates only 897 hits. Poor Ferrari.
While writing this article I am simultaneously watching the last 3 ½ hours of the Rolex 24-hour race that
I recorded, and it looks like the Ferrari in GTLM just lost his engine….(oops!!). Gotta go.
See you around and be sure to take advantage of all NNJR has to offer.
President Letter February
/in President's Letter /by nnjr-pcaSo here we are in the middle of the winter, but if you check the NNJR Calendar on our web site or the Around the Corner column in this magazine, you will see that there is plenty to do with more and more each month. I am looking forward to witnessing the magic performed by the Dent Man at the workshop to be held at Paul Miller Porsche. A really exciting event will be the Paul iller Classic Car Center launch. This is a major event for Paul Miller as they will be one of the few Porsche Classic Car Centers in North America. February is capped off by our Instructor and Driver Seminars. There is one seminar in the morning for our instructors and one in the afternoon for the rest of our DE enthusiasts.
You probably know that I am a DE junky on many levels. I really enjoy being a part of our instructor team as well as participating in as many events possible with our region as well as others. Last year was a good one for me with 27 days on track. I get asked from time-to-time what I do to maintain my car and whether I have any special projects planned for this winter. The long maintenance answer is not for this column, but I do know that proper maintenance and safety checks are very, very high on my list. Regarding special car projects, I am doing nothing, nada, not a thing! What? No special shocks, sway bars, bushings, shifters, ECU tune, etc….. Nope, not a thing.
What I am focusing on is listening to lovely music (vinyl) playing on my home audio system while I am envisioning every corner on every track I drive each season. I go through each corner many, many times to ensure I have a very solid mental image of where I am looking, where I brake, how I brake, rolling my hands and the wheel, moving off the gas and onto the accelerator, and so on. I think about “bending the turn” (thanks Dick Fell) and making longer straights. The point of the matter is, there is nothing I could do to my car that will make me a better driver. I need to work on me and not the car. All this is aided by reading books written by very fast people and some videos. I do look at some data but this is something I want to learn more about: how to use data. Anyway, time to get back to turn 1 at Watkins.
Enjoy the winter and everything NNJR has to offer and see you around.
President Letter December
/in President's Letter /by nnjr-pcaWe just returned from VIR with really big smiles on our faces – what a great event! The track is amazing all by itself, but when you add three days of perfect weather (‘70s and ‘80s) to the mix, it becomes that very special. What a fantastic way to end the NNJR DE season for our members and for Lisa and myself. Special thanks to Tom Swift and the whole DE team for a great season and for leading us through a transitional year where we returned to our “normal” schedule. We have also concluded the competitive concours season. Jeff and Chris Erven did a splendid job organizing our events. Thanks to Chris, Jeff and the concours volunteers. Autocross is already on winter break. Despite some challenges with our location, Grant Lenahan and his team did an outstanding job arranging the autocross events. At this writing, rally is still going strong and social is just getting started. Hope to see all of you at the holiday party
