If you have something to add, let me know at C4S [add the "at" sign here] attglobal.net, and tell me if I can print it and use your name.

I had the honor and pleasure to speak with the great man at RRII. He was very gracious and answered my questions about what he thought was
upcoming from Weissach to end the prototype dry spell that was occurring at the time.

I wish him well in his “retirement” and hope for Porsche’s sake that he keeps his head in the game and keeps reading the rulebooks.

I’ve included a few photos that I took at RRII. The first, talking with Herbert Linge and Jacky Ickx and the next two with Sascha Massen and Lucas Luhr.
I have a couple of photos that I took of Mr. Singer at RRII. The first is him talking with Jacky Ickyx and Herbert Linge, one of him chatting with Mr. Linge and another Porsche employee that I
didn’t recognize, and the others are of him talking to Sascha Massen and Lucas Luhr. Please feel free to use these on your site.

Are there any NSFC buttons available? If so, how would I get one before the Tech session? [Zone 1 is getting more membership buttons printed- Ed]

Thanks, and keep up the good work on the Great Man.

Hi,
I found your web site through a Google search. I've been a fan of Herr
Singer since the '70's after seeing the results of his talents at Road
America.
I'm a member of the PCA and act as the Dealer Liaison/Public Relations for
the Fox Valley Porsche Club here in Wisconsin (Zone 13).
I'm a proud owner of a 1985 Porsche 930 Special Wishes
Flachbau.

Thanks for creating the site and look forward hearing from you.

Best regards,

Dave Kochinski

If you love Porsche, you love Mr. Singer. He is one of the 3 or 4 men that are giants of the mark. We are fortunate to live in the presence of one of the all-time-greats of race engineering. I know Enzo Ferrari is up there agreeing.

I've been a member of this great club for several years. I recently purchased his book and was luckily enough to land an autographed copy. I am writing to say that I wanted to give back something to the club that would be meaningful.

Having always loved Porsches, I bought a used (now called previously owned) '86 944, back in '88. The next year, while at the dealership, I grabbed an Accessory catalog and ordered new floor mats. In the same catalog, in the boutique section, were several VHS videos for sale. One was called Porsche Top Secret and it was a 32 mm color/sound film copied to video that covered the 956; from creation, through development, to sweeping LeMans in its first year.

Herr Singer is shown quite a bit and of course there are great vintage shots of Porsche's racing shop. Is there a way we could make it available to club members?

Anyway as far as I know, this video was only available for one year and it may be a rarity.

Sincerely,

Bill Strecker

I would like to join this wonderful fan base out of respect for a great man. Norbert and Michael Cotton will be our guests at the Porsche Club Great Britain campsite on Porsche Curves this coming Friday 16th when he will launch his book 24:16 at our Club's BBQ. It is intended Norbert will promote his book and undertake many signings. We are privileged and honoured to have Norbert with us, and for the 500 guests this will be a special moment for them all.

Hello Fan Club, I wanted to pass on a meeting I had with Mr. Norbert Singer this past February at the Rolex 24-hour race this year [2006] at Daytona. I was attending the event as a pit-crew person with Team TPC Racing # 36, (yes, we won the GT division with our Porsche GT3). I was the fuel manager for the race and after establishing my inventory for the first few hours I had an hour or so free and wanted to get a few autographs on my Daytona 2006 poster. I stood in line for over an hour waiting to get to the drivers table. I was only three people away from the autograph table when I saw Norbert Singer walking around and studying the Daytona Heritage Exhibition. I had invested over an hour in the autograph line, but the chance to speak with Mr. Singer and to get his autograph was too great. I turned to the person behind me and told him I have to get out of line for a minute. The people behind me quickly stated that "if you get out of line, you will have to go to the back of the line"! [Obviously, not Herr Singer-type folks - ed] I accepted this statement and step out of line. I walk up to Mr. Singer and watched him as he studied the classic 911 race car of the 70's. I ask Mr. Singer: "do you think the 911 is better now or then? Without batting an eye or looking up at me he states, "they are all good!" He was wearing his glasses down his nose and continued to examine the historic race car. His response was from an engineering standpoint and had years of knowledge behind this statement. I am sure he thought I did not know who he was. I then stated: "Do you see any similarities in the new 911 compared to the old?" gain without having to think or debate his answer. Then he states: "Yes, it continues to win races". I smile and ask for his autograph. He looks up at me for the first time and states: "I am no one special, you want that line for autographs". He points to the table of the race drivers. I too respond without hesitation, "I know exactly who you are Mr. Singer and I know all about that line, I was standing in it for over an hour until I saw you. I can always get their signature, but you are Norbert Singer of Porsche!" He smiles and looks at me as he pulls out his pen and signs his name. As he is signing his name I thanked him for all he has done for Porsche, their drivers and Porsche lovers the world over. He placed his hand on my shoulder and stated "Thank-you for being part of Porsche too". I shook his hand and returned to the pits to get ready for the race. We had 24+ hours of a race ahead of us, but for some reason I felt we had Norbert Singer in our pits guiding us to victory. The next day our car crossed the finish line first in GT and I knew Mr. Singer was right, Porsche still wins races! John Settle Turbo Performance Center (TPC) #36 GT-3
