Chris
Powell is one of the best Porsche mechanics in the Pacific
Northwest. What does a degree in Chemistry from Harvey Mudd College
do for him in his Bellevue, Washington Porsche Shop? What else but build
some of the fastest race engines in the country. With factory training
in 911 engines, transmissions, fuel injection systems and turbos while
at University Porsche/Audi, Chris laid the groundwork for developing
a solid reputation as a builder of reliable engines.
Another stint with Bayside Motorsports for more than six years gave
Chris an opportunity to bring Porsches, such as the RSR, 935, 924 GTR
and 962 to the winner's circle on the IMSA GTP Circuit. Chris was responsible
for preparing John Paul Jr's engines when he won the championship in
1982.
As a PCA member since 1975, Chris has been assisting his local area Porsche pushers with personal contact at his shop in Bellevue as well as the presentation of tech sessions for PNWR, and is a current Porsche driving club instructor and PCA Club racer.
To show that he really respects his roots, Chris drives a beautiful blue 1964 356C coupe and a black 1973 911S - well tuned, naturally!
Member of PCA National Technical Committee Carrera & 964
