The Tech Committee of the Porsche Club of America's Chesapeake Region and Ralph's Auto Service recently hosted a tech session on classic Porsches' induction systems in Reisterstown, Maryland. More than 40 PCA members attended the two-and-a-half hour Oct. 21st event, which began with coffee and doughnuts at 8:30 AM. The presentation covered the various carburetors, mechanical and electronic fuel injection systems, and turbochargers used in Porsches made in the 1950s through the 1980s. PCA-CHS Tech Committee Co-Chair Jim Earlbeck organized the gathering.

The resource speakers were Ralph Simmers, a renowned Porsche mechanic, and Chuck Goldsborough, a former race driver. Both are co-owners of Ralph's Auto Service, which specializes in classic Porsches. A Porsche car collector, Chuck joined Ralph as a business partner and investor a couple of years ago, which led to the expansion of Ralph's business.
