SUMMARY:Save the 911 - Our Lori Schutz Speaker Event
DESCRIPTION:As part of the yearlong celebration of our 60th anniversary we 
 have invited the daughter of the man credited with saving both the 911 and
  Porsche (!)\, Lori Schutz\, to speak at a special DE social.  Lori is Zo
 ne 4 Representative of the Porsche Club of America and a popular speaker a
 t club events.  She is the daughter of Peter Schutz\, who was the CEO of 
 Porsche AG from 1981 to 1987. Peter was instrumental in turning around Por
 sche AG during early 1980s and is credited with saving the 911. Lori will 
 share with us the success stories of her late father at Porsche AG and wil
 l bring copies of Peter’s book\, “The Driving Force” (portion of pro
 ceeds go to the Komen Foundation). NER will host our usual post-track-even
 t complimentary beer\, wine and soda social. Following that\, we will be h
 aving dinner under the tent at the track. Dinner is being catered by Firef
 ly’s BBQ and consists of St. Louis Ribs\, BBQ Chicken\, Roasted Corn on 
 the Cob\, Tossed Salad\, Cornbread\, Blondies\, Brownies\, and Cookies. Th
 e cost for dinner is $30/person.\nNeed a little more incentive? How about 
 getting your adrenaline pumping before our dinner and speaker by joining i
 n some parade laps on the amazing track at Palmer. Cars will begin lining 
 up at 5:10pm and will do about 20 minutes of parade laps before the social
  begins.\nA little background on Peter Schutz right from Porsche AG:\n\nWh
 en Peter W. Schutz took over as President and CEO of Porsche AG in Janua
 ry 1981\, the company was experiencing a difficult period. In 1980\, Pors
 che had recorded its first ever losses. But in just his third week as Po
 rsche CEO\, Mr. Schutz reversed the company’s earlier decision to cease
  production of the 911. The car’s success continues to justify this move
 \, as the 911 has been regarded as an iconic vehicle and the ultimate spor
 ts car for over five decades. Positioned at the heart of the brand\, the 9
 11 inspires car enthusiasts around the world and is now considered the ben
 chmark for all other sports cars. \n\nDuring his tenure\, Peter W. Schutz
  not only changed the company’s strategic direction: The German-American
  was also largely responsible for increasing the appeal of Porsche’s ra
 nge of models\, helping to successfully introduce the full 911 Cabriolet. 
 In addition\, Mr. Schutz furthered the expansion of the transaxle model ra
 nge with the introduction of the 944 Turbo\, 944 S and 944 S2 as well as 
 their equivalent convertible variants. In 1982\, Porsche set new records
  in motorsport\, winning almost all categories and special rankings at Le 
 Mans and achieving positions one to five in the race. The Porsche 959 wa
 s eventually unveiled in Frankfurt in 1985. Dubbed the “Über-911" by th
 e press\, it underlined the sports car manufacturer’s technical expertis
 e at the time.\n\nMr. Schutz trebled the company’s sales and restored P
 orsche’s status as a profitable enterprise. For five financial years in 
 a row\, the company set one record after another.\n\n\n[caption id="attach

  and HANS\, eager to learn a new track\, so if you are participating in ou
 r DE event during the day please consider offering either a right or left 
 seat! \n\n[caption id="attachment_9546" align="alignnone" width="800"] Lo
 ri Schutz sits in a Porsche 936 with Derek Bell. And she got to hang with 
 Patrick Long at his recent Luft 6 event\, too! I'm a bit jealous.[/caption
