Tech Tactics 2007
Zone 1 Tech Tactics-- Extreme Makeover Edition
The granddaddy of PCA tech sessions, Zone 1 Tech Tactics, will be in its 27th year of continuous operation in 2007. The event’s longevity is a testament to the many talented, knowledgeable guest speakers who have contributed their time as well as the dedicated event chairs who have led the event over the decades. But a long-standing event just like an old house could use a facelift every decade or two to keep it current. With that in mind, this year’s installment of Zone 1 Tech Tactics will be the Extreme Makeover addition!
After many years of inhabiting the stuffy confines of a hotel conference room, we are moving this tech event back to where it belongs, the garage shop floor. This type of grassroots tech session has been a staple within the Porsche Club of America since its inception 50+ years ago. Farnbacher Loles in Danbury, CT has graciously agreed to open its garage doors to host the Zone 1 Tech Tactics event on Saturday, March 3, 2007. Their facility will enable everyone to have a more hands-on experience with cars on lifts and access to other equipment such as wheel alignment racks, tire balancers and a chassis dyno. And we plan to take full advantage of these valuable resources.
Many of the usual suspects will be coming from near and far to contribute their technical expertise. The PCA national tech committee will be well represented by the likes of Bruce Anderson, Allan Caldwell, John Paterek, George Beuselinck, Joel Reiser and Peter Smith. In addition, we’ll have a safety equipment talk by Joe Marko, Motec engine management and programming by Geoffrey Ring, a demonstration of a full safety tech on a club race car by Dan Jacobs, and of course a senior development engineer, Bernd Hemminger, from the Porsche factory to talk about the latest technology going into our toys from Stuttgart. And just to spice things up, we might have a car on the alignment bench and a few special cars up on the lifts for general viewing, demonstrations, and discussions Don’t forget the Porsche AG contest, with some one of a kind prizes awarded in the past .
