Shifting Gears: Fall Activities are Around the Corner<br />

By David Robertson, Region Vice President<br />

SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor<br />

1235 William D. Tate Ave<br />

Grapevine, TX 76051<br />

817-329-6995<br />

rom time to time as VP, I fill in for our<br />

F<br />

President Jim Falgout when needed, so this<br />

month I have the opportunity to welcome<br />

you to our latest issue of <strong>Slipstream</strong>.<br />

With summer behind us and the days getting cooler,<br />

you will notice that the Maverick Region calendar is<br />

heating up. There is a Time Trial on the 18th and a<br />

Driver’s Education on the 24th and 25th. A Sunday<br />

Drive on the 25th will include a fun route that arrives<br />

during the Drivers’ Education at MotorSport Ranch,<br />

where you will be able to observe and learn all about<br />

the DE program and even take a few laps around the<br />

track at a comfortable speed that will certainly get you<br />

hooked!<br />

Each month we have two lunch meetups where we<br />

have a casual get together in different spots around the<br />

DFW area to mingle and talk about -- what else? Our<br />

Porsches! If you haven’t attended one of these lunches<br />

yet you should really try to make it to one or all.<br />

They are typically held in Lewisville, Richardson and<br />

Southlake. I always meet someone new and the food is<br />

always great!<br />

To see all of the Maverick Region events in detail,<br />

our club calendar at mavpca.org is always up to date, in<br />

fact the best thing to do is to click on the “subscribe”<br />

button on the calendar page and you will always have<br />

the most up-to-date events right on your mobile device<br />

or computer.<br />

This is also the time of year when we take nominations<br />

for our upcoming officer elections. Every year we<br />

elect a President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.<br />

If you are interested in any of these positions,<br />

please send an email to nominations@mavpca.org. A<br />

ballot will be available in next month’s <strong>Slipstream</strong>, and<br />

voting will take place at this year’s Annual Celebration<br />

in November.<br />

Speaking of the Annual Celebration, you may not<br />

be familiar with this new event. The Annual Celebration<br />

is actually not a new event at all -- in fact, it is a<br />

new version of one of the oldest events in the Maverick<br />

Region: Founder’s Day. This year’s Annual Celebration<br />

will be an event not to be missed, located in the hip<br />

NYLO Hotel in Las Colinas. This is a celebration of<br />

our club’s history and a big party to reflect on the year.<br />

There is also a silent auction that is always chock full of<br />

fantastic items that you will decide you must have. Also<br />

celebrated is the newest tradition in our club which is<br />

the annual photo contest. This is truly an event that is<br />

not to be missed.<br />

As you may have noticed by now with all the activities<br />

that we put on around here, there are many great volunteers<br />

that make our club so special. We always need one<br />

more, and a great way for you to get involved is to reach<br />

out to our Volunteer coordinator Jim Gallegos at volunteers@mavpca.org.<br />

I promise that Jim will find a great<br />

spot for you.<br />

MAV OF THE MONTH<br />

Joe McGlohen has been a member of PCA for 31<br />

years. Over the years he has helped in many ways, including<br />

most notably rallyemaster and safety chair. He<br />

had retired from his regular volunteer duties a few<br />

years ago, but when Bob Benson passed away suddenly<br />

last year, he quickly stepped up to fill in until a new<br />

chair could be found. Since then he has improved<br />

safety at our<br />

events and has<br />

begun training<br />

other members<br />

of his committee<br />

in hopes a new<br />

chair will result.<br />

He wants new,<br />

younger blood<br />

involved. For all<br />

that you have<br />

done and continue<br />

doing, we<br />

thank you, Joe!<br />

Gimme a Minute: August Board Meeting<br />

By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary August 3, <strong>2016</strong><br />

he meeting began at 7:04<br />

T<br />

pm, with Vice President<br />

David Robertson standing<br />

in for President Jim<br />

Falgout. David thanked<br />

Social Chair Tracy Robertson for<br />

adjusting to an emergency location<br />

change. Presenting for Treasurer<br />

Richard Solomon, the region has<br />

about $126K in the bank. We will<br />

begin invoicing <strong>Slipstream</strong> advertisers<br />

as well as sponsors of the fall DE<br />

events. Richard would like to have a<br />

Boot Campaign fundraiser at one of<br />

the Drivers’ Education events.<br />

Social Chairs Tracy Robertson<br />

and Phyllis Gallegos announced<br />

that the event formerly known as<br />

Founders’ Day will be called “Maverick<br />

Region Annual Celebration”<br />

and will be at the NYLO Hotel in<br />

Las Colinas. It will be more casual<br />

than in the past, hoping to increase<br />

attendance. There will be food stations<br />

instead of a formal sit-down<br />

meal. We will still have a silent auction<br />

with quality items. We will try<br />

to have a photo contest. Teri Davis<br />

suggested arranging for a photo<br />

keepsake.<br />

Volunteer Chair Jimmy Gallegos<br />

said that initially the volunteer response<br />

was strong, but has dropped<br />

off. After soliciting input from members,<br />

he will be more detailed about<br />

future volunteer responsibilities.<br />

Advertising Chair Cindy Bliss<br />

has to step down because of work<br />

conflicts. We thanked her for her<br />

service. Bill Kruder will continue in<br />

her place.<br />

Nominating Committee Chair<br />

John Hamilton reported that two<br />

out of four existing officers are willing<br />

to continue their roles and will<br />

check on the others. As Membership<br />

Chair, he stated that membership<br />

continues to grow. We’re now at an<br />

all-time high of 2582 total members.<br />

As an employee of a local dealership,<br />

he mentioned that displaying<br />

our new marketing digital photo<br />

frames has resulted in our region<br />

brochures being picked up.<br />

Editor Jim Hirsch says we are<br />

printing 1900 copies per month.<br />

Issues remain at 40 pages and 55%<br />

is advertising, which can increase if<br />

6 <strong>September</strong><br />

desired and still stay within our post<br />

office limit. There was a misprint in<br />

the July issue, but Ussery Printing<br />

fixed it and printed a limited supply<br />

of corrected copies for collectors.<br />

The revised PDF was emailed to all<br />

members. He will get pricing on<br />

moving to full color. He discontinued<br />

the photos of the month, citing<br />

the themes limited photographers.<br />

He will work with Bill Orr to continue<br />

a photo feature in the future. Bill<br />

Kruder will begin a new featured<br />

article entitled “Kruder’s Cars and<br />

Conversation.”<br />

Bill Kruder has been a member<br />

for 20 years, but is now stepping up<br />

to help out with advertising. He has<br />

been using the Google doc that was<br />

created for advertisers and has contacted<br />

most by phone. He has the<br />

time and ability to do it and enjoys<br />

it. His goal is to reach out four times<br />

per year. Ad rates might need adjusting<br />

after he researches comparable<br />

publications.<br />

Rally Chair Don Sebert has nixed<br />

a summer event, but reported that<br />

the next one will be near Halloween,<br />

complete with costume contest.<br />

He hopes for a fun event and a big<br />

turnout. He is looking for input on<br />

good start or finish locations. On<br />

behalf of Monthly Dinner Social<br />

Chair Stephanie Ho, he reported<br />

that there were about 120 people at<br />

the Hard Eight BBQ and everyone<br />

had a great time. She will continue<br />

working on future locations and<br />

great deals on drinks.<br />

Guest Mark Pitaressi is a new<br />

member who looks forward to getting<br />

involved. This is his second<br />

board meeting, but has attended<br />

several events already.<br />

Historian Charlie Davis reported<br />

that the photo workshop unfortunately<br />

died because of a lack of suitable<br />

location and declining interest.<br />

He wants someone else to take the<br />

reins for the photo contest. Several<br />

in attendance offered to help, but<br />

we need an overall contest chair.<br />

Hope Shelter Advocate Bill Middleton<br />

continues planning activities<br />

to support and celebrate them on<br />

the tenth anniversary of their new<br />

facility. He will ask for donations at<br />

our <strong>September</strong> DE (during parade<br />

laps) with the focus on linens, especially<br />

for the upcoming winter. He is<br />

also hoping to have a good turnout<br />

at the Hope Christmas Party in December.<br />

PCA Tours Chair Tom Martin has<br />

a drive planned from Duncanville to<br />

the <strong>September</strong> DE. He is also looking<br />

to support Hope and is asking<br />

participants to bring a $25 Walmart<br />

gift card. The October drive will<br />

be to Rancho Sereno where we will<br />

again have good use of the space for<br />

catering.<br />

Wendy Shoffit (for Carey Spreen)<br />

requested we proceed with the approved<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong> archival project.<br />

All present were in favor. The motion<br />

had been passed prior, so no<br />

vote was needed. She also reported<br />

that Parade in Jay Peak was a great<br />

success, particularly for Carey who<br />

trophied in three out of the four<br />

primary competitive events! The<br />

2017 Parade will be in Spokane,<br />

Washington and 2018 will be closer,<br />

in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri.<br />

We have two DE events coming up<br />

(Sept and Oct) and a Club Race<br />

(with solo-only DE) in Nov. Based<br />

on feedback from the national website<br />

competition, a team of people<br />

are now making significant improvements<br />

to the region website. Stay<br />

tuned. Lastly, presenting for Autocross<br />

Chair Mark Schnoerr, the July<br />

24 event was well attended, with 15<br />

Porsche participants and a few more<br />

spectators. See article and results<br />

elsewhere.<br />

Bill Orr presented a report on<br />

the success of the use of the digital<br />

picture frames. He wants three<br />

more to continue the program. After<br />

some discussion, a motion was<br />

made to spend up to $660 for that<br />

purpose. Don Sebert seconded and<br />

the motion passed. Bill also showed<br />

a presentation about the possible<br />

logo change and presented other<br />

options. After a bit of discussion, we<br />

decided to have a survey on Facebook<br />

or SurveyMonkey to solicit a<br />

public vote on the favorite.<br />

Lastly, the Mav of the Month is<br />

Joe McGlohen for his efforts as<br />

Safety Chair.

Destination Restoration: Just a Little Boost<br />

By Ash Seidl-Staley<br />

Photos Courtesy of the Author<br />

orsches are fast. Currently, Porsche engines,<br />

residing in either the front or back of<br />

P<br />

the vehicle, typically supply anywhere from<br />

250 hp to 560 hp to the rear wheels at any<br />

given time. This of course, depends on year, make, and<br />

model. The <strong>2016</strong> 911 Turbo, for example, boasts an<br />

impressively powerful 520 hp, while the <strong>2016</strong> Boxster<br />

range “only” tops out at around 375 hp for the Boxster<br />

Spyder. Miraculously, each year these imposing horsepower<br />

ranges increase. Take a sneak peek at the 2017<br />

roster, and you will see that the 2017 911 Turbo claims<br />

up to 580 horses, an increase of nearly 60 hp! One can<br />

only imagine what the ranges will be in the 2020s.<br />

For most classic Porsches however, those produced<br />

before 1989 that is, power numbers are more humbly<br />

limited to the 100-300 hp range. My tiny little 1974 914<br />

2.0 would be lucky to break 100 hp, and my 1987 944<br />

only comes up to just shy of 150 hp. Classic Porsche<br />

owners know that it is not totally about the horsepower;<br />

instead we focus on the handling of the car—for which<br />

Porsche has remained second to none!<br />

Many of my friends do not own Porsches. Most of<br />

them drive Korean and Japanese daily beaters, and can<br />

only dream about making a sports car purchase. When<br />

these friends do discuss what vehicles they would love<br />

to have in the garage, the<br />

majority of the time only<br />

American Muscle cars are<br />

suggested. “It’s all about<br />

the power,” they say. As a<br />

response, I just smile and<br />

nod because I know that a<br />

sprightly little 911 SC can<br />

out-track any Mustang, Camaro,<br />

or Vette!<br />

It is the combination of<br />

both the raw horsepower of<br />

the engine and the nimbleness<br />

of the suspension which<br />

truly make our cars great vehicles<br />

to own and drive. This<br />

being said, I still get asked all<br />

the time about what one can<br />

do to increase the power of<br />

a Porsche. To be completely<br />

honest, this is not an easy<br />

feat to accomplish, as there<br />

are many different options<br />

available, and many different<br />

routes one can take to<br />

increase the power supplied<br />

10 <strong>September</strong><br />

to his or her wheels. There are DME chips, MFI boosters,<br />

and countless build sheets for carburetors which<br />

can all be purchased<br />

online, albeit at lofty<br />

prices. Exhaust system<br />

upgrades, custom heat<br />

exchangers, and overthe-counter<br />

ignition<br />

units likewise increase<br />

a car’s power output.<br />

But I find that the best<br />

way to squeeze a few<br />

more horses out of<br />

your car is to keep it<br />

clean, light, and running<br />

at optimal performance.<br />

This begins with<br />

Wayne Dempsey’s 101 Projects for your Porsche 911<br />

is a valuable resource which describes many ways to<br />

increase your car’s power.<br />

Replacing your classic’s stock<br />

ignition setup with an MSD<br />

system can give it 10+hp<br />

regular maintenance. Changing the oil, replacing the<br />

air filter, replacing the distributor, replacing worn out<br />

spark plugs, and using the right fuel all contribute to<br />

the health and vitality of the powertrain. Additionally,<br />

one can increase a car’s acceleration and improve shifting<br />

by replacing/upgrading the vehicle’s clutch, adjusting<br />

the clutch cable, and replacing worn out bushings<br />

in the clutch cable system.<br />

More invasive measures, like<br />

fine-tuning the cam timing, readjusting<br />

the engine’s valves,<br />

and completely tearing down<br />

the engine will similarly increase<br />

horsepower yields.<br />

No matter what one has decided<br />

to do, if anything has<br />

been done at all, it is important<br />

to note that all of this<br />

power and additional speed<br />

need two additional things: a<br />

strong suspension and adequate<br />

stopping power. No<br />

sense in having a 500 hp car if<br />

you cannot keep it on the<br />

road! Stay tuned for the next<br />

couple of installments which<br />

will look at these other areas<br />

and show how we can continue<br />

to improve the performance<br />

of our vehicles without breaking<br />

the bank . . . . Wrench on<br />

Mavs!


TPMS Trivia: Let Your Porsche Tell You Its Tire Pressures<br />

By John Hamilton, Region Past President and Membership Chair<br />

s you already know, tire pressures are important.<br />

But you may not already know that<br />

A<br />

if you own a recent-model Porsche, those<br />

pressures are accurately adjustable without<br />

the use of a tire pressure gauge. The tool to use is the<br />

tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that you paid<br />

for when you bought your Porsche. Not only will it warn<br />

you when one or more of your tires are under-inflated;<br />

it will also help you set your tire pressures to the correct<br />

amount, including compensation for temperatures.<br />

The pressures listed on your Porsche’s door sill and<br />

in the owner’s manual are only correct at an outside<br />

air temperature of 68 degrees F. If it is hotter than that<br />

outside, and/or if you have driven your Porsche, those<br />

numbers are no longer appropriate.<br />

Also, most recent-model Porsches have different<br />

pressure choices for “Comfort” and/or “Full Load.”<br />

These selections can be found in the instrument cluster<br />

on the screen that shows the tire pressures for each<br />

of your four tires. Find that screen, press the select lever<br />

or button, scroll down, and either select (checked<br />

box) or de-select (un-checked box) the “Comfort”<br />

and/or “Full Load” options according to your needs. If<br />

you change the “Comfort” or “Full Load” settings, most<br />

Porsches then need to be driven for a couple of miles<br />

at speeds greater than 15 mph for the system to “learn”<br />

the new settings.<br />

Once you are satisfied with your settings, it is now<br />

time to adjust the air pressures to match (or slightly<br />

exceed) the Fill Info numbers displayed on your instrument<br />

cluster. Once again, find the screen that shows<br />

the tire pressures for your four tires. Select that screen<br />

then select “Fill Info.” On this screen you will see + or<br />

- numbers by each of your four tires. You should fill<br />

each of your tires to 0, +1, or +3 (there is no 2). This<br />

is regardless of the outside or tire temperatures, as<br />

the system takes that into consideration. Personally, I<br />

always set mine to either +1 or +3 since all tires lose air<br />

over time.<br />

That’s it! An overdue explanation of TPMS, how it<br />

works, and how you can avoid spending the $10 or $20<br />

on a tire pressure gauge. As a bonus, you’ll find that<br />

you have fewer warning indicators coming on for LOW<br />

TIRE PRESSURE since you have now set them correctly<br />

based upon their actual temperatures.<br />

Now get back to driving your Porsches!<br />

Kruder’s Cars & Conversations<br />

By Bill Kruder, Region Advertising Chair<br />

Images Courtesy of the Author<br />

ot many of you know<br />

N<br />

me, but I have been a<br />

20-year member of the<br />

PCA. I refer to myself<br />

as the newest 20-year member. Not<br />

until recently did I get involved and<br />

find out that there are some pretty<br />

interesting people in this club. And<br />

with nearly 1900 members, there<br />

must be some good stories out<br />

there. So here it is the first of a series<br />

of “interviews” that I would like<br />

to share with you.<br />

Bob Hagestad, 1964 356C owner,<br />

PCA member since 1960<br />

Bill Kruder and Bob Hagestad<br />

12 <strong>September</strong><br />

WK: Bob, you have been a member<br />

of PCA longer than almost anyone in<br />

Maverick Region. What year did you<br />

join PCA and why?<br />

BH: Well, really I kind of joined<br />

by accident. My dad had a VW dealership<br />

in Cheyenne, Wyoming and<br />

he wanted to open another. However,<br />

VW said that they would let<br />

him have another but it had to be<br />

in Denver. Then as an extra incentive<br />

they said, “We will give you a<br />

Porsche dealership also.” Needless<br />

to say, we moved. Once we opened,<br />

our mechanic said, “We need to<br />

race one of these.” And we did! We<br />

took one off the showroom floor<br />

and took the SCCA driving school,<br />

which I guess at the same time<br />

signed us up with PCA.<br />

WK: So this was 1960 then?<br />

BH: Yes, I think in the fall. Funny<br />

thing was once we had taken the<br />

car off the showroom floor we simply<br />

returned it when we were finished,<br />

like nothing had happened.<br />

Not sure I could get away with that<br />

today.<br />

WK: Wow! And to think PCA was<br />

only around for five years at that point,<br />

and Maverick Region wouldn’t even be<br />

founded until 1962.<br />

BH: Well like I said, we joined<br />

because we had just acquired the<br />

dealership and thought it might be<br />

fun to do a little racing. Of course I<br />

had no idea back then I would have<br />

moved here years later.<br />

WK: So you come from a car-guy<br />

family then?<br />

BH: I do. I didn’t mention that<br />

before my dad started selling VWs,<br />

he had a Lincoln-Mercury dealership.<br />

I actually worked as a salesman<br />

for him. I think that was 1957, but<br />

I was terrible. Think he told me I<br />

needed to find another profession.<br />

WK: Well how did that work out for<br />

you?<br />

BH: Funny how things work out,<br />

but about 1968-69, VW and Porsche<br />

came back and said “We want you<br />

to separate VW from Porsche.” And<br />

to do that they would add in Audi<br />

so we could have a Porsche+Audi<br />

store. Apparently my dad hadn’t<br />

given up on me yet, so he worked<br />

out a deal in which he would sell<br />

VWs if I would take the other<br />

“slower selling” cars. So that’s what<br />

we did. We opened up a new dealership.<br />

The Hagestad Volkswagen dealership<br />

WK: So how did you end up in Dallas?<br />

BH: About 1987, VW asked if I<br />

would help establish a dealership<br />

here. I didn’t want to move, so for<br />

about three to four years I would go<br />

back and forth. Then about 1991-<br />

92, I took over Metro VW in Irving<br />

and was an active partner ‘til I retired<br />

in 2011.<br />

WK: Now tell me what was your first<br />

Porsche?<br />

BH: Really don’t have just one<br />

“first” because we would drive<br />

which ever we felt like off the showroom<br />

floor; kind of brings a smile<br />

to my face to think about that.<br />

WK: What do you own now?<br />

BH: I have a 1964 Dolphin Gray<br />

356C.<br />

WK: Is this one off the showroom<br />

floor?<br />

BH: Oh no, I bought this one in<br />

1984 from a couple in Denver who<br />

had gone to Europe, bought the<br />

car in Paris, and drove it on vacation<br />

over there. They then brought<br />

it back and enjoyed it for another<br />

19 years. They put 80,000 miles on<br />

it.<br />

WK: How many miles does it have<br />

on it now?<br />

BH: I’ve only put another 9,000<br />

miles on it since 1984.<br />

WK: What an incredible journey you<br />

have been on, with some of the best cars<br />

in the world.<br />

BH: Not bad I guess.<br />

But you don’t want to<br />

hear about my racing?<br />

WK: So you continued<br />

to race? Not just club<br />

races?<br />

BH: Oh, that was<br />

only the beginning. We<br />

bought the 904; I think<br />

only two were here in<br />

the States. We raced it<br />

in ‘64 at the 250-mile<br />

Daytona Continental,<br />

in which we finished


fifth. This was really the start of my<br />

professional racing, actually getting<br />

paid.<br />

WK: We’ve talked about an RSR –<br />

how did that come about?<br />

BH: In ‘71 several of us went to<br />

Monte Carlo and stopped at the<br />

Porsche factory to look at a new car<br />

they were trying to sell; they had<br />

to sell fifty before they could race<br />

them. As it turned out it was the ‘72<br />

RSR. I think I managed to get them<br />

to sell it to me for about $18K.<br />

Bob and his 1964 Porsche 356C<br />

WK: And how did that work out?<br />

BH: I brought it home and<br />

wrecked it in a practice run. So<br />

Peter Gregg had another car as a<br />

spare but it was painted in his livery<br />

so he sold it to me.<br />

WK: Peter Gregg like in Brumos?<br />

BH: That would be the guy<br />

alright. Trouble was, we couldn’t<br />

race in his livery, so we bought what<br />

is like floral kitchen contact paper<br />

and covered up his scheme. That<br />

was at Elkhart Lake.<br />

WK: How long did<br />

you race the RSR?<br />

BH: We raced the<br />

RSRs from about ‘73-<br />

‘77. I had some pretty<br />

good drivers driving<br />

for me and with me.<br />

WK: Anyone we<br />

would know?<br />

BH: Let’s see: Skip<br />

Barber, Jerry Jolly,<br />

John Paul, and Hurley<br />

Haywood. I might<br />

be forgetting someone, but these<br />

guys were good.<br />

WK: Something tells me there is more<br />

to the story . . .<br />

BH: Yep! Then about ‘76-‘77<br />

(I can’t remember for sure), we<br />

bought our 934 turbo. Think we<br />

paid about $50K back then for it,<br />

which was a lot, trust me. Hurley<br />

Haywood drove for me in all the<br />

one-hour races and I co-drove with<br />

him in the endurance races; we had<br />

some pretty good success in it.<br />

WK: And there’s the 935 too?<br />

BH: Well it was really a 934 that<br />

was converted to a 935, which they<br />

referred to as a 934.5 in those years.<br />

That was in ‘78 when we started<br />

at the 24 Hours of Daytona but<br />

DNF’ed. But then we came back at<br />

Sebring and led the race until we<br />

lost our brakes, but managed to<br />

come in second.<br />

Wow, and to think that I was only<br />

coming over to talk about some<br />

guy’s “tub” car!<br />

PCA Tours Preview: “Everyone Loves a Parade”<br />

By Tom Martin, PCA Tours Co-Chair<br />

Photos Courtesy of the Author<br />

fter a welcome summer<br />

A<br />

break, the Maverick<br />

Region Sunday Drive<br />

program resumes its<br />

schedule with a drive to Motor<br />

Sport Ranch later this month. As<br />

icing on the cake, drivers will be allowed<br />

onto the track for a series of<br />

parade laps.<br />

The drive is scheduled for<br />

Sunday, <strong>September</strong> 25, at 9:00<br />

am. It will start in the parking lot<br />

of Costco, 250 E Hwy 67, in Duncanville,<br />

and end at MotorSport<br />

Ranch in Cresson. Drivers wishing<br />

to take to the track for parade laps<br />

will be required to present a $25.00<br />

Walmart gift card to the Gridmaster<br />

as a charitable contribution to<br />

the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House.<br />

You can learn more about this very<br />

worthy club charity that our club<br />

supports on the next page.<br />

If you’ve never been to Motor<br />

Sport Ranch (MSR), it is one of<br />

the many “country club” tracks that<br />

have sprouted up all over the country<br />

that cater specifically to performance<br />

automobile owners. It’s<br />

primarily a track for club members<br />

to have fun and go as fast as their<br />

comfort level allows. The Maverick<br />

Region holds most of its Drivers’<br />

Education events there. In fact, a<br />

Maverick DE will be taking place<br />

the same day that we’ll be there.<br />

We’ll take to the track during the<br />

DE lunch break.<br />

Speaking of which: lunch will<br />

also be available, provided by Del<br />

Norte Tacos for $10. Just indicate<br />

in your RSVP if you plan to have<br />

lunch at the track.<br />

Now, I know what you’re thinking:<br />

“What exactly is a parade lap?”<br />

A parade lap is not so slow as to<br />

emulate a vehicle towing a parade<br />

float, nor is it an open invitation to<br />

go flat out around the course. Consider<br />

a parade lap as a “safety car”<br />

lap. Not too slow, not too fast.<br />

You get to drive the track, not walk!<br />

As a final note, you may have noticed<br />

the title of this article is “PCA<br />

Tours”, rather than “Sunday Drive.”<br />

That’s because we’ve decided to<br />

change the name of the program.<br />

Dispensing with the Sunday Drive<br />

moniker in lieu of PCA Tours<br />

aligns us with similar programs of<br />

other PCA Regions. Plus, several of<br />

our drives are held on a Saturday<br />

rather than a Sunday.<br />

So in the future, look for notices<br />

of PCA Tours in this format:<br />

FORMAT<br />

PCA Tours<br />

“Tour Title” – Tour Description<br />

EXAMPLE<br />

PCA Tours<br />

“Everyone Loves a Parade” – Off<br />

to MotorSport Ranch<br />

Also, Bill Orr is now Co-Chair of<br />

the Maverick PCA Tours program.<br />

Bill is actively involved in several<br />

club activities, and has demonstrated<br />

proficiency in all of them.<br />

As always, attendees are not required<br />

to participate in the parade<br />

laps, so if you desire, you could<br />

head straight home after the Tour<br />

on your own route.<br />

If you plan on attending the<br />

Tour, it is imperative that you RSVP<br />

us before the Tour. Just shoot an<br />

e-mail to tours@mavpca.org with<br />

a simple “I will be attending (by<br />

myself, with my wife, with a friend,<br />

etc.)” and you’re in. When you<br />

RSVP, it gives us an accurate count<br />

to supply to the proprietor of the<br />

destination. Plus, three days in advance,<br />

you will receive an e-mail<br />

with the following attachments:<br />

a Garmin .gdb file of the route, a<br />

route overview, and turn-by-turn<br />

instructions.<br />

Hope to see you and your<br />

Porsche at the Tour and on the<br />

track!<br />

Our PCA Tours are one of our most well attended club driving events (as evidenced<br />

by this photo, which may or may not have been taken at a recent PCA Tour).<br />

Hope Shelter News: Walmart “Bucks for Bedding” Drive<br />

By Bill Middleton<br />

s has been mentioned<br />

A<br />

in an earlier <strong>Slipstream</strong><br />

article, <strong>2016</strong> marks ten<br />

years since the new<br />

Hope Shelter was completed and<br />

dedicated. To mark this occasion,<br />

the Maverick Charity Committee<br />

has been working on some special<br />

activities to benefit the Shelter, and<br />

help newer Mavericks, who may not<br />

be aware of the charitable work the<br />

Region does, become familiar, and<br />

hopefully, involved!<br />

One group of items the Shelter<br />

regularly needs is bedding<br />

and bath items: consumables like<br />

shampoo, soap, toothpaste; and<br />

more durable goods, like bedding<br />

(sheets, pillows, blankets, etc.) and<br />

bath items like towels, washcloths,<br />

and so forth.<br />

At one time, we were looking<br />

into getting such items from a<br />

hotelier supply company – those<br />

items tend to be more durable,<br />

and less expensive, when bought<br />

in bulk. The issue is – as one would<br />

expect – they’re pretty plain.<br />

The clients of the Shelter are<br />

typically women fleeing an abusive<br />

situation, and often with children.<br />

We felt that it would be a good<br />

idea – and provide less of an<br />

“institutional” setting – if they had<br />

bedding and bath goods that were<br />

more lively and colorful. In the<br />

case of the kids, it’s hard enough<br />

having to leave home on very short<br />

notice to get away from an abusive<br />

situation, much less to go live in<br />

an unknown place. Being able to<br />

pick out bedding with your favorite<br />

movie or superhero character gives<br />

them something they can call their<br />

own in an otherwise unfamiliar<br />

setting.<br />

To that end, the charity committee<br />

is teaming up with both the<br />

Drivers’ Education group and the<br />

Touring group to collect Walmart<br />

gift cards so that the shelter can buy<br />

these necessities for their clients.<br />

The DE and Tour events are both<br />

the same weekend – Sept. 24-25 –<br />

and all you have to do to help is get<br />

to your local Walmart, and pick up<br />

a $25 gift card. It’s that simple, and<br />

your generosity will go a long way<br />

to helping the Shelter with these<br />

needs!<br />

Cards from DE participants will<br />

be collected during the midday<br />

break on Saturday, and cards from<br />

the Tour participants will be collected<br />

before the charity laps are<br />

run, so get to your local Walmart,<br />

grab a card, and help Hope continue<br />

its mission of helping others<br />

in need!<br />

Annual Celebration <strong>2016</strong>:<br />

By Tracy Robertson and Phyllis Gallegos, Region Social Co-Chairs<br />

ifty-four years ago our Maverick Region was<br />

F<br />

founded. We had only 13 charter members,<br />

and the 911 was still another year away from<br />

being introduced. Wow, we’ve come a long<br />

way! Today we have nearly 1900 primary members.<br />

Every fall since the 1960s we have gathered and<br />

celebrated what those original members started for us.<br />

While we are quickly approaching fall in DFW, I know<br />

the heat index was 109 F today; it’s time to start planning<br />

for this historic and special event during which we<br />

celebrate the past and present!<br />

This year our Annual Celebration will be held Saturday,<br />

November 5, <strong>2016</strong>. Most of you remember this<br />

event as our Founders’ Day Banquet, but this year we<br />

have not only a name change but some other changes<br />

too. We think you’ll find it to be the best of the past<br />

combined with the best of who we’ve become.<br />

In the past it’s been<br />

cocktails and socializing<br />

with other club members,<br />

and included a<br />

silent auction and, more<br />

recently, a photo contest.<br />

Then, we enjoyed<br />

a sit-down dinner, while<br />

dressed in our finest<br />

“duds.” Many of us who<br />

have attended have had<br />

a great time, but we began<br />

thinking, maybe it’s<br />

time to make this a more<br />

casual affair, including<br />

Vice-President David and<br />

Social Co-Chair Tracy<br />

Robertson will attend in less<br />

“formal” wear this year<br />

softening up the venue.<br />

Thus, the name change<br />

and NO mention of the<br />

phrase “Formal or Black<br />

Tie Optional”.<br />

Let’s get back to why this event is even called a Celebration.<br />

After fifty-four years we have a lot to celebrate<br />

in the Maverick Region:<br />

• Friendships built around a shared passion for<br />

our cars.<br />

• A full calendar of varied events that allow opportunities<br />

for everyone to participate.<br />

• The contribution of many volunteers, making<br />

sure our events are well organized, safe, and fun!<br />

• A generous membership that eagerly supports<br />

our charity, the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House.<br />

So what can you look forward to at this year’s Annual<br />

Celebration?<br />

• An upbeat venue, the casual and chic NYLO Hotel,<br />

centrally located in Las Colinas.<br />

• Time to mix and mingle, catch up with old<br />

friends, and make new ones.<br />

• Our third annual<br />

Photo Contest - more<br />

details to come soon.<br />

• Election of our officers<br />

for the calendar<br />

year 2017.<br />

• Presentation of the<br />

Richard F. Selcer Memorial<br />

Award, given<br />

to one member each<br />

year for outstanding<br />

contributions to the<br />

region and inspiration<br />

to others to do likewise.<br />

• The Silent Auction,<br />

where you can get<br />

great deals on Porsche<br />

Can you tell Linda<br />

Bambina is enjoying<br />

herself? You will too!<br />

accessories and apparel, club driving events, jewelry,<br />

dining, car repair/maintenance, and more!<br />

And don’t forget, all proceeds go to Huffaker-<br />

Hughes Hope House in Mineral Wells, a home<br />

for victims of domestic violence.<br />

So save the date, November 5, and be on the lookout<br />

for more details.<br />

You and your Porsche at the NYLO guarantee a wonderful<br />

time will be experienced. This evening exemplifies the PCA<br />

motto: “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.”<br />

Maverick Region Flickr Group. You can access it here:<br />

iOS and Android phones that allows you to take new<br />

photos or upload existing ones. In order to use the<br />

“share it” with the group.<br />

From your Flickr app library select the photo you<br />

wish to share. Then click on the Info icon.<br />

Scroll down until you see the Groups section, then<br />

4. Share or Upload new photos by clicking the Add<br />

and assign them to the Maverick Group all<br />

at once.<br />

Maverick AX Series: The Day They Paid ME to Autocross!<br />

By Wendy Shoffit, Wearer of Many Hats<br />

Photos by Mark Schnoerr<br />

have been autocrossing<br />

for a few years now<br />

I<br />

. . . . since 1998. I started<br />

out not knowing ANYthing<br />

and DNF’ed (went off course)<br />

three out of my first four runs at<br />

my first event. I’ve improved since<br />

then. I’ve got a couple of region<br />

wins, some national Parade trophies<br />

and a few Parade Ladies’ Top<br />

Times of Day. I’ve had some practice.<br />

But nearly all of those were in<br />

a 1978 911 SC and NONE of them<br />

have made me money. Now race<br />

prepared, “Ebony” is a little more<br />

challenging to get out to local<br />

events (race trailer, sticky tires, yadda<br />

yadda yadda). We’ve WANTED<br />

to compete, but just haven’t done<br />

so in the past few years. Now that<br />

we have the Cayman GT4, we have<br />

REALLY been wanting to go play.<br />

However, timing and unfortunate<br />

circumstances have kept us away<br />

until this past July 24, when I came<br />

back early from a trip and thought,<br />

“Hey, why not?” So, James graciously<br />

spent his Saturday cleaning the<br />

car, swapping tires, and getting it<br />

ready for Sunday’s event at Lone<br />

Star Park.<br />

Every Porsche model can participate<br />

We’d never driven with Equipe<br />

Rapide (ER) before and weren’t<br />

sure what to expect. When we got<br />

there, we found our way to where<br />

we were supposed to park and immediately<br />

saw people we knew (Ed<br />

Mayo, Julia Underwood, Carey<br />

Spreen, Matthew Cords, and the<br />

30 <strong>September</strong><br />

Almost 50 years of separation for<br />

these hot cars - the 911S and the GT4<br />

Schnoerrs). We also saw “other<br />

car” autocrossers who have driven<br />

with us and who we remembered<br />

from our time “way back when.” We<br />

found the timing trailer, checked<br />

in, and got our work assignments.<br />

We got the car emptied out,<br />

tech’ed, and ready for action. After<br />

the brief drivers’ meeting, we (run<br />

group B) worked our corner, while<br />

run group A drove and run group<br />

C rested. We were so very glad to<br />

be the first out to work, because the<br />

day just got hotter! This reminded<br />

us why Maverick Region stopped<br />

autocrossing in July and August!<br />

Anyway, after working, James<br />

and I got our chance to put the<br />

GT4 through its paces. Wow wow<br />

wow! I am continually impressed<br />

by that car! Now, we just need to be<br />

better DRIVERS in that car to really<br />

show what it can do. There is a significant<br />

difference between autocrossing<br />

a rear-engined car versus a<br />

mid-engined car. We got quite a few<br />

runs because of timing errors, but<br />

that just added to the fun. James<br />

was the winner this time between<br />

the two of us by just 0.3 seconds.<br />

Mike Syler was a P3 contender<br />

{Note the use of “just” instead of<br />

“a whopping” if I’d have beaten<br />

him.) One of the cool things that<br />

ER does is allow passengers during<br />

runs. PCA’s insurance doesn’t allow<br />

it, but theirs does. Ask Ed about<br />

his ride with James on course. Fun<br />

stuff!<br />

So after we ran, it was our “rest”<br />

time, so we headed to lunch with<br />

Carey Spreen. We could have just<br />

left for the day like others had<br />

done, but we wanted to see what<br />

their awards ceremony looked like.<br />

So, after lunch we came back to<br />

watch. It turned out that because<br />

of the PAX calculations (aka “black<br />

magic”), we ended up doing well<br />

enough to earn actual cash monies!<br />

James won our Porsche class and a<br />

PAX payout, totaling $15 (paid for<br />

lunch) AND a t-shirt. I won a total<br />

of $40 for doing well in the ladies<br />

Su Brude and her 911 Turbo<br />

class and (I think) the Porsche<br />

class. I should pay more attention<br />

next time to WHY I won, but I was<br />

just excited to get money! My entry<br />

fee was $35, so I netted $5 COLD.<br />

HARD.CASH! That paid for our<br />

celebratory Frosties on the way<br />

home.<br />

So, not only did we have fun autocrossing<br />

in our awesome car, love<br />

spending time with our amazing<br />

friends, but we also experienced<br />

the joy of the ER PAX payouts! We<br />

can’t wait to have fun again! Come<br />

join us!

Around the Bend...<br />

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor<br />

ovelist C. S. Lewis wrote, “The future<br />

N<br />

is something which everyone reaches<br />

at the rate of 60 minutes an hour,<br />

whatever he does, whoever he is”. I<br />

know for our members it feels like the future is<br />

arriving even more quickly than that when they<br />

are driving their Porsche.<br />

But, leaving the 0-60 time or MSR lap time out of<br />

the equation, our future as the Maverick Region of<br />

the PCA reminds us again and again that it is not the<br />

cars that are so important. The important thing is the<br />

people. So, try to slow down the arrival of the future a<br />

bit and look around you at the next Maverick event and<br />

realize that each and every member has a story. And<br />

then, make it a point to find out more about that story.<br />

That is what I try to accomplish with each issue of<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong>. How well that intention is fulfilled is entirely<br />

up to you, our Maverick members. Please make it a priority<br />

to consider sharing your story via an article and<br />

photographs and sending your ideas to me at editor@<br />

mavpca.org. Or, if you hear of a good story from another<br />

club member, encourage them to send it to me.<br />

Speaking of member stories, I was remiss in the<br />

August issue with the author attribution in the article<br />

summarizing the Autos in the Park event. Andy Kay,<br />

our Region Concours Chair, provided Bill Orr with<br />

all of the information and results from the event and<br />

should have been listed as a co-author. I apologize for<br />

that miss on my part.<br />

Moving to the future (at 60 minutes an hour), this<br />

<strong>September</strong> issue of <strong>Slipstream</strong> introduces you to two ongoing<br />

story features.<br />

The initial installment of Kruder’s Cars & Conversations<br />

is featured on page 12. Bill Kruder will interview<br />

one of our Maverick members each month and provide<br />

the resulting story for your reading enjoyment.<br />

At the same time, you will get the opportunity<br />

to “meet” a member whom you may not<br />

know and learn a bit more about them and their<br />

Porsche and personal history. In this issue, as you<br />

read about Bob’s colorful history, you might also<br />

be interested in learning more about his racing<br />

exploits by visiting http://www.racingsportscars.<br />

com/driver/results/Bob-Hagestad-USA.html.<br />

As promised in the August issue, Bill Orr is providing<br />

a detailed explanation of how to share photos via<br />

our club Flickr site with his article on page 28. With<br />

so many of our members taking photos at all of our<br />

events, this now promises to be a very effective way to<br />

capture those stories in images. Bill will use your submissions<br />

to select a Porsche of the Month photo that<br />

we will highlight in each issue.<br />

Looking at our Maverick calendar, we have a busy<br />

fall ahead of us with a multitude of club events. Please<br />

participate in all that interest you and write a story<br />

about your experience! In particular, look for more<br />

information about our upcoming Halloween Rally in<br />

the next issue and save the date as noted below.<br />
