Porsche Club of America

©2016 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times. Optional equipment shown is extra. 

It doesn't ask to be idolized. Just driven hard. 

While certainly deserving of a special place in your heart, all things being equal, it'd rather be whipping down 

an ocean-side road. So we made it easy to want to take it out and drive hard. With a glorious new engine 

increased to 3.8 liters of displacement, it gives the driver greater torque for instant, usable power. It also 

touts a remarkable 500 horsepower. And it does all this while using less fuel. Add in lightning-fast shifts with 

the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), and your urge to drive it will outweigh your desire to worship it. 

Porsche. There is no substitute.

Shifting Gears: Maverick Region Summer Activities 

By Jim Falgout, Region President 

irst gear: June was an active month with 

F 

Autos in the Park, PCA Porsche Parade and 

various social activities. Now July comes 

and the activities are reduced, due to the 

anticipated summer heat and various vacations. We will 

not have a board meeting this month. 

Second gear: Speaking of board meetings, the June 

board meeting included a presentation by member Bill 

Orr on some very interesting concepts for promoting 

the Maverick Region at dealerships, as well as ideas 

for a new logo. We will be soliciting your opinion on 

a few alternatives for our logo. My point really is how 

fortunate our club is to have a variety of talents to 

contribute to the success of the Maverick Region. 

Third gear: As I mentioned above, PCA Porsche 

Parade was in June. The Maverick Region had a large 

contingent attending and representing Zone 5. If you 

did not go this year, try planning on going to one in the 

future. You will be definitely enjoy it. 

Fourth gear: This is a good time to reflect and 

reevaluate. What club activities have you enjoyed? What 

club activities would you like to participate in but have 

not so far? Your club has a lot to offer. 

Of course, I will always encourage you to ask yourself 

what can you do to help your club provide these kinds 

of experiences for others. 

YOUR CLUB WANTS YOU . . . 

volunteer! You will be glad you did. Just 

contact Jim Gallegos at volunteers@ 

mavpca.org. 

Fifth gear: In a previous issue I requested suggestions 

for changes to our event in November known as 

Founders’ Day (name subject to change). We really 

want your input because we want it to be an event that 

you would like to participate in and enjoy. So please 

send any thoughts, no matter how minor, to either 

social@mavpca.org or president@mavpca.org.

Sixth gear: MAV OF THE MONTH 

It is great to have members who will help out where 

ever they can. One of the most time consuming jobs is 

editor of Slipstream. We have been fortunate to have a 

series of excellent editors which has resulted in our 

monthly newsletter receiving several awards. We have a 

member who was editor of Slipstream, and after handing 

over the reins to another volunteer, continues to assist 

in the production of the magazine. As was said recently, 

he just does not know how to say “no.” Your Mav of the 

Month this month is Carey Spreen. Thanks Carey for 

all that you do. 

What can you do to help 

your club provide these kinds 

of experiences for others?

Last “Minute” Substitution: June Board Meeting 

By Carey Spreen, MRPCA Secretarial Pool June 1, 2016 

egion President Jim Falgout 

started the meet- 

R 

ing at 7:00 pm. His first 

order of business was to 

announce this year’s Nominating 

Committee: past Presidents John 

Hamilton, James Shoffit, and Mike 

Brodigan. Jim also reminded us that 

the club is looking for ways to revitalize 

Founders’ Day, the Region’s 

anniversary celebration. Mark 

Schnoerr suggested renaming it the 

Holiday Party. 

Concours d’Elegance Chair Andy 

Kay gave us information about the 

Autos in the Park Concours, which 

will use four teams of three judges 

for scoring, a first for this event. 

Slipstream Content Editor Carey 

Spreen said that the number of June 

issues printed was very close to the 

mailing list total, and we’ll need to 

increase the print count. Carey and 

Jim Falgout discussed a proposal 

from Region member Dreanna 

Belden, Assistant Dean for External 

Relations at UNT. She offered 

to digitize our entire Slipstream 

archive, making it searchable to the 

word level. The cost to us would 

be no more than $6,645.60. After 

discussion, a motion was made and 

seconded to accept the proposal, 

pending a test run to assess quality 

and file size. The vote passed. 

Social Co-Chair Phyllis Gallegos 

announced that this year’s Founders’ 

Day celebration will be held 

Saturday, Nov 5, at the NYLO hotel 

in Las Colinas. Bent Tree CC was 

unavailable, and NYLO gave us similar 

pricing. The Social Committee 

has also set a few 2017 dates: the 

All Member Party, Jan 28; May at 

Mayo’s, May 6; and Founders’ Day, 

Nov 4. 

Volunteer Chair Jim “Jimmyg” 

Gallegos is looking for volunteers 

who are interested in helping put 

on various club activities. Contact 

him at volunteers@mavpca.org for 

more information. 

Sunday Drive (aka PCA Tours) 

Chair Tom Martin recapped the 

May drive to Revolver Brewing in 

6 July 

Granbury, where 81 cars and 130 

people participated, including the 

President of the Granbury Chamber 

of Commerce, who had recently 

purchased a Porsche. Tom noted 

that a new member, Mark Pitarresi, 

who was present at the meeting, had 

expressed interest in volunteering. 

Welcome Mark! 

Social Co-Chair Tracy Robertson 

noted that the Silent Auction, which 

is a significant part of Founders’ Day 

each year, is organized by the Social 

Committee, which also organizes 

the banquet itself. The Silent Auction 

has become so big that it needs 

to be managed by its own group. 

Vice President David Robertson 

reminded us that official Waiver and 

Release forms with black and red 

lettering must be used for all events 

that involve moving cars. David has 

several pads of these forms available 

for use at these events. 

Slipstream Managing Editor Jim 

Hirsch thanked Carey for finishing 

up the June issue. He also thanked 

all of our content contributors for 

continuing to get articles and photos 

in before the 10th-of-the-month 

deadline. 

Tech Session Chair Ed Mullenix 

is working with Hans Hoffman at 

RAC Performance to put together 

a tech session there in September. 

More information to come in the 

August issue. 

Time Trial Chair Travis Howard 

recapped the PCA Club Race and 

Drivers’ Education event at Circuit 

of the Americas in May. There was 

a lighter turnout than in past years, 

which made grid management 

easier, but reduced revenue for 

the event. The Time Trial at Mineral 

Wells had 30 drivers attend, half 

Porsches, half others, which is typical. 

The Truxster had ignition problems 

but was repaired and put back 

into service. Most of our equipment 

is getting old (purchased for the 

2004 Parade) and may be due for 

replacement. Lastly, he may have a 

location in Weatherford to store the 

Truxster. 

Monthly Social Chair Stephanie 

Ho said that we had over 60 attendees 

at the Wildwood Grill social. 

Turnout at Shuck-n-Jive was low 

due to the weather. After discussion 

it was determined that each venue 

has its own cancellation policy, but 

if there is no financial commitment, 

canceling due to weather is acceptable. 

She has locations booked 

through the end of this year. 

Calendar Boy Brendan Eagan 

confirmed that the on-line and Slipstream 

calendars remain in sync. 

Remember to send any event date 

changes to calendar@mavpca.org. 

Rally Co-Chair Don Sebert told us 

that the Easter Egg Hunt rally drew 

28 cars and was a lot of fun. He and 

Co-Chair George Luxbacher are 

discussing a rally this summer, and 

will definitely be putting on another 

Halloween rally in October. 

Membership Chair John Hamilton 

passed along a note from Drivers’ 

Education Chair Chris Tabor 

that Chris is looking into an “intro 

to DE” weekday evening event at 

MotorSport Ranch. 

Autocross Chair Mark Schoerr 

described the Equipe Rapide 

Mirror-Cross event held at Mineral 

Wells, which was similar to an SCCA 

Pro-Solo event. He reminded us that 

Equipe Rapide gives cash awards; 

Mark, his wife Sigrid, and Fred 

Stubbs all received cash payouts. 

The next event is at Lone Star Park 

on Sunday, July 24. 

Goodie Store Chair Chris Flaugh 

was able to purchase 1000 Maverick 

Region window stickers for $65. 

These stickers will be given out at 

various region events. 

Webmaster Denny Payne is in 

discussion with James Shoffit and 

Bill Orr about updating the Region 

website to make it easier to search, 

more mobile-friendly, and to add 

the ability for members to post their 

own classified ads. Bill noted that 

the intent is to make it fit in more 

closely with the PCA National website.

Safety Chair Joe McGlohen noted the loss of longtime 

race controller Mary Coney on May 13, and told 

us that there would be a celebration of her life on June 

18. Joe noted that his Safety Chair apprentices are 

working out well. 

Bill Orr had three proposals for the board. First 

was the use of internet-enabled digital photo frames to 

promote Maverick Region at various locations. These 

devices, which cost about $200 each, can show images 

of region activities and include a QR code that allows 

prospective members to join PCA on the spot. A motion 

was made and seconded, and the board voted to 

purchase one unit for placement at Autobahn Porsche 

on a trial basis. 

Bill’s second proposal was for a portable flagpole 

which can support two 3-ft by 5-ft flags to identify Region 

gatherings. The poles extend to about 20 feet and 

collapse to 44 inches for transportation, with a cost of 

$200 for the stand, pole, and flags. A motion was made 

and seconded, and the board voted to purchase it. 

The third proposal was to update the Maverick Region 

logo. The current logo seems dated, too busy, and 

has fine details that do not always reproduce well. He 

presented several ideas to the group. The board agreed 

that we are ready for a logo change, but need time to 

finalize a design. A motion was made and seconded to 

update the region logo, and the vote passed. 

Jim Falgout announced Carey Spreen as Maverick of 

the Month. Meeting adjourned slightly after 9:00 pm.

Five Speed Chatter: Spoiled Rotten 

By Ash Seidl-Staley 

Photos Courtesy of the Author 

ne of the greatest moments of my life happened 

on February 4, 2015. On that day, 

O 

my wife and I were graciously permitted 

to bring our son, Christian Hans, into this 

world! From the moment that his eyes first opened, I 

knew that he would be spoiled rotten. Man was I right! 

In his defense, Christian is luckier than most kids. He 

currently has five grandparents and four great grandparents, 

all living, and all eager to buy him toys and 

clothes. As any parent knows, grandparents are notorious 

for spoiling grandchildren. So far, Christian’s 

grandparents are no different. 

One of Christian’s “big ticket” Christmas gifts this 

past year was a 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 Power Wheel. As 

most Mavericks know, my first car was a walker buggy 

with a Porsche decal slapped on the front of it. Christian 

seems to have had an upgrade. And I would be 

lying if I said that I wasn’t jealous -- I mean, come on, 

look at it! This ginormous power wheel, which we have 

yet to name, looks phenomenal, has tons of standard 

features, and even comes with its own working FM radio! 

This beautiful, but not so little, plastic sports car 

lights up and makes racing noises when the steering 

wheel is turned. It comes with paddle shifters that 

also make noises that mimic the sounds our cars make 

upshifting and downshifting. The Porsche also comes 

with three modes of driving: Forward Drive, Reverse, 

and Sport Mode. Sport Mode is achieved after removing 

the governing pin on the gear shift, and placing 

the shifter into the “S” position. This change, though 

slight, increases the top speed of the Power Wheel to 

just over 5 mph! This is exactly double of what the regular 

Forward Drive mode will achieve. 

Although Christian is too small 

for this particular toy right now, it 

seems as though many of his other 

toys will carry the Porsche brand 

as well. When I was a young boy 

my Porsche collection was limited 

to die cast models, plastic models, 

posters, books, and maybe a 

remote controlled vehicle. For 

Christian and his generation, 

there are multiple ways for him to 

get his Porsche fix. On top of everything that was available 

when I was a kid, Porsche has currently partnered 

with numerous video game franchises, cell phone app 

developers, the Playmobile Company, Fisher Price toys, 

VTECH Go Go vehicle design, and even the all-powerful 

Lego! With the very successful racing careers of 

the 919 and the Flying Lizards, Porsche has expanded 

its market directly into kids’ toy boxes, hopefully, with 

more designs and partnerships to come. 

I can’t honestly say who is more excited about 

Porsche toys, me or my son. Considering he is only 

16 months old, it is most likely myself. But, come on I 

can’t be the only one, right? 

Play on Mavs! 

Christian’s Autos...I wonder if he likes air cooled engines 


Mary Coney: Remembering a Good Friend 

By Joe McGlohen, Region Safety Chair 

Photo Courtesy of the Author 

s a person, Mary Coney had warmth and a 

A 

sense of humor. She was down to earth and 

loved motorsports, as well as the friends she 

shared that love with, including Maverick 

Region. She was a delight to be around and to work 

with. She loved music, especially “oldie” car music. She 

once brought a bunch of CDs filled with her “Favorite 

Car Music” to an event and shared her favorites with 

all the workers (and me). She was also crazy about her 

grandkids. 

Mary was active as an SCCA corner worker for many 

years preceding our Drivers’ Education program, and 

as our DE program took shape, she started as a corner 

worker for us but soon became our “Control.” 

Many of you may not even recognize her name, but 

if you participated in any of our DEs or Club Racing 

events from 2002 forward, you would remember her 

calm golden voice from the tower on the PA system 

keeping things moving, thanking sponsors, and making 

sure folks knew where and when they needed to 

be. She did all of that, and all the while she was “Control,” 

the nerve center of the event, coordinating the 

corner workers, rescue, EMTs, and car recovery folks. 

This included juggling the schedule when weather, car 

breakdown recoveries, or other incidents that played 

havoc with our usual timetable. And in the midst of all 

of that chaos, she kept the DE staff informed and got 

their input when appropriate. After all the dust settled, 

she never hesitated to tell us what she needed to make 

things better, or to offer a differing opinion about procedures 

and policy that might improve our process. 

From my perspective as the Safety Chair during several 

of those years, I always felt at ease when Mary was 

(in) CONTROL at our events. Several times I received 

similar feedback from the Club Race National Steward 

at our Club Races. 

She will be truly missed and long remembered.

Hope Shelter Update: Hope’s Helpers 

By Bill Middleton 

Photo Courtesy of the Author 

ne of the issues that the 

O 

Hope Shelter, MRPCA’s 

continuing charity, 

deals with regularly is 

maintenance and upkeep issues 

of the building and its equipment. 

While the building itself has done 

very well over the years, typical 

“wear and tear” items are a constant 

issue – and financial drain – 

for Hope. 

One of the unfortunate issues 

that Hope deals with somewhat 

frequently is theft by their clients. 

While at first one may wonder why 

this issue even occurs, when Hope 

has provided their clients with a safe 

haven from a difficult situation, the 

reality is that, in many cases, Hope 

is a significantly better physical environment 

than the one they have 

come from – and as a result, some 

clients, out of significant need, will 

take things they need with them 

when they leave. Items like bedding, 

towels, silverware, dishes, and 

Bill Middleton installing a hair dryer 

so forth have all been subject to 

removal. Some items and issues can 

be easily resolved; Hope no longer 

uses regular dishes and silverware, 

it’s all disposable paper plates, 

plastic cups, and plastic silverware. 

Cooking utensils (clients cook for 

themselves) are as inexpensive 

as possible, as are pots, pans, and 

other cookware. Other items have 

been replaced either with a type of 

item that isn’t likely to be removed, 

or is inexpensive enough that it’s 

not a great burden to replace. 

One of the more difficult issues 

has been hair dryers – they seem to 

fly out the door on wings of their 

own, according to one of the volunteers! 

So, after some investigations 

and research, it was decided that 

the hair dryer issue would be resolved 

by installing hotel-type permanent 

wall-mounted units. Several 

units were reviewed, discussed 

with Hope director Lisa Huffaker, 

and a Sunbeam model was selected. 

On the last weekend of April, Bill 

Middleton and Ron Colbert went 

out to Hope Shelter and installed 

the new dryers. They were received 

with much appreciation by both 

the Hope staff and the residents, 

as now they were not only theft 

proof, but high enough on the wall 

that they were out of the reach of 

smaller kids. 

Also, while there, some other 

maintenance items were taken 

care of, including replacing a dead 

ceiling fan in one of the larger 

bedrooms, some fence repairs, 

some basic door hardware screw 

tightening and aligning on some 

doors, and checking the side yard 

for drainage. 

All in all, a very enjoyable and 

successful Saturday! 

If you are interested in working 

with our continuing charity, or 

would like to volunteer to help out, 

please contact Chris Hamilton, our 

Charitable Activities Chair, at 

hope@mavpca.org. She would love 

to hear from you! 

Ten Years of Hope: 

Huffaker-Hughes Hope 

House 10th Anniversary 

This December, the Hope Shelter 

celebrates ten years since the 

dedication and opening of their new 

home, the Huffaker-Hughes Hope 

House. 

The Hope House is the end 

result of years of planning, dedication, 

fund raising, and just plain 

hard work by a dedicated group 

of Porschephiles in response to the 

deteriorating and difficult conditions 

that, until that time, had been the 

original Hope Shelter. 

While the history of its conception, 

construction, and completion 

is long, the conclusion of the story 

is short and sweet. Thanks to the efforts, 

contributions, and hard work 

of the Maverick Region, what could 

have been a tragic ending instead 

became a beautiful beginning: a 

brand new shelter, built to serve 

the needs of those most vulnerable 

– battered and abused women and 

children – for decades to come. 

As we prepare to celebrate this 

milestone, it is most important to 

acknowledge and remember that 

this wonderful place would not have 

gone from just a dream on paper to 

bricks and mortar without its most 

essential component – YOU – all our 

fellow Mavericks – who, through 

your continuing generosity over the 

years at everything from charity laps 

at DEs to donations of gift cards at 

Christmas, made the building of 

Hope House a reality. 

Please join all of us this year as 

we celebrate this milestone achievement, 

and keep your eyes open during 

this year for special events and 

opportunities to help Hope continue 

its mission. If you are new to the 

Maverick Region, and would like 

to learn more about Hope Shelter, 

we welcome your interest with open 

arms, and encourage you to contact 

any Board member for further information. 


Autocrossing: Your Porsche is already prepared! 

By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair 


odern Porsches take virtually no preparation 

for autocross. Locally, the Equipe 

M 

Rapide/PCA classes P1 to P3 are the same 

as the PCA National Small Region Showroom 

Stock Classes S1 to S3 (all ten classes are listed 

here: http://mav.pca.org/Events/Autocross/ERClassification.asp). 

If your car is not listed for some reason, 

we can sort that out at the event.) If you own a 

normally-maintained Porsche, you are ready to arrive, 

empty loose contents, sign up, put on temporary masking 

tape numbers and class on the doors, go through a 

short tech line, and attend the drivers’ meeting. If you 

are a novice or unsure of activities, there is always a novice 

course walk before the driving starts, where much 

knowledge and experience will be shared. Be sure to 

arrive by 8 am. If you like “cars and coffee” events, autocross 

is like that, but the cars get driven too. You don’t 

need any special pre-tech, brake pads, or tires. As a 

matter of fact, most cars just run on high performance 

street tires, like the ones that came on your Porsche. 

About 100 cars will be entered in each event. You 

must work part of the event in order for your timed 

runs to be counted, but this generally means watching 

other competitors drive the course and occasionally 

picking up cones that they knock down. Depending on 

how many drivers are entered, there are either three or 

four run sessions, called “heats.” In a three-heat event, 

you take your timed runs in one heat, work another 

heat, and rest in the third, not necessarily in that order. 

In a four-heat event, you drive one heat and work one 

heat in the morning, then repeat that in the afternoon. 

You will get six to eight timed runs, and can request 

a coach to help you find the course or take you for a 

few rides to show you what it is all about. Many novices 

like those rides, because the whole idea of autocross becomes 

very clear very 

quickly. Times are very 

similar to the lap time 

at a time trial event. 

The biggest difference 

is that you will likely 

run the entire course 

in second gear, rarely 

exceeding 65 mph, 

but aggressively accelerating, 

braking and 

steering through the 

pylon-marked course 

as fast as you can. 

Many people are so 

focused they have difficulty remembering to breathe, 

but almost everyone crosses the finish line with a smile 

on their face, ready to go again. So you go back to grid 

and have a 10 to 15 minute wait before you’re up again. 

The event is typically over by about 3:30 pm, the 

course is picked up, and the trophy / awards presentation 

ends the day. This is when the cash award payouts 

also happen. 

Review the schedule 

on page 20 and pick an 

autocross for a low-risk 

way to enjoy your Porsche 

and some very interesting 

people. You will learn excellent 

car control skills 

that will benefit you in 

day-to-day driving, as well 

as skills you can count on 

if you decide to try Time 

Erik Holt’s White 993 C4S 

Julia Underwood sits low in 

Ed Mayo’s long hood 911S 

Trials or High Speed 

Driver Education events. 

Many of the club’s top 

racers and coaches started out in autocross. 

See you at an event soon. Next event: July 24 at the 

beautiful and shady Lone Star Park Grand Prairie site.

Saturday Drive Recap: B-Double-E-Double-R-U-N 

By Mark Pitarresi

t was a beautiful 

I 

morning on May 14 with 

temperatures in the 

70s and partly cloudy. 

The drive started at the Walmart 

Supercenter in Lake Worth. There 

were 81 Porsches and 130 people 

at the event. It was hard not to 

notice the spectators in awe of this 

Porsche mass. Our drive would take 

us 105 miles through the towns of 

Lake Worth, Weatherford, Hudson 

Oaks, Rainbow, completing the 

drive in Granbury at Revolver 

Brewing. As usual there was a good 

mix of Porsches, from a 944 to a 

Martini-themed 918 supercar! The 

excitement could be easily seen on 

all our faces. 

1974 Ice Green Metallic 911 

Tom started the drivers meeting 

and stressed the importance of the 

rules as well as his safety concerns 

on the route. I was pleased to get in 

the third group, because it meant 

I had some more time to look at a 

1974 Ice Green Metallic 911. This 

car was AWESOME! The driver 

was quick to tell me that it was not 

a show car and its purpose was to 

be driven often! He had upgraded 

the engine to a 3.2 liter. His wife 

then told me about their other 

911, a 1971, which has a 2.7 liter 

engine. She then explained that it 

requires a little more fiddling. She 

had a smile from ear to ear as she 

talked about their other 911. They 

were both true Porsche enthusiasts 

for sure. The only thing on my 

mind was that I wanted to hear that 

engine, but it was time to line up. 


While on the drive, there were 

a few areas where people gathered 

on the side of the road watching all 

the Porsches go by. These are not 

just drives; they are like rolling car 

shows, with spirited driving as the 

theme! 

Starting at the Lake Worth Walmart 

While at the rest stop I heard 

an air cooled engine. The sound 

ended up being the Ice Green 

911 that I wanted to hear earlier. 

It pulled out onto the road solo. 

The driver growled through the 

gears as he reached cruising speed. 

Everyone at the rest stop seemed to 

pause to take in the sound of the 

lone air cooled flat six in perfect 

tune. Another 997 S caught my 

eye and I decided to take a closer 

look. The owners were very excited 

about their car and noted that it was 

their first Porsche. When leaving 

the rest stop I got to open it up a 

little (while obeying the traffic laws 

of course). The sun was mostly out 

The requisite rear view image 

Members enjoyed great driving roads 

by this time and it made for some 

good scenic country driving for the 

last part of the drive. 

The brewery had live music 

(The Jenna Clark Band) and it was 

a great atmosphere! I was not 

familiar with Revolver and did 

enjoy all four of their brews. I ran 

The group arrives safely for some 

good times at Revolver Brewing 

into Tom and told him what a good 

time I was having. Tom and I then 

talked about how great all the 

members are in the PCA club, 

volunteering for PCA, his old 

Porsches, and some of the drives 

that take place in the Hill Country. 

Upon departure, I had to take one 

last stroll through the parking lot. 

It’s always a sight to see this many 

Porsches in one place!

First Porsches: Two That Got Away 

By Bill Bradley 

Photos Courtesy of Creative Commons 


356B Coupe 

n 1962 I purchased my first Porsche. It 

I 

would not be the last. This first one was a 

356B coupe, blue with red interior. I purchased 

the car from a Chevrolet dealer in 

Morristown, New Jersey. Morristown is home to the 

Seeing Eye, a group that trains guide dogs for the blind. 

Almost any time of day you could see people walking 

their German Shepherds around the town square. 

At the time I was 

in between years of 

college. Two friends 

of mine also bought 

Porsches, both late 

1950s models. The 

three of us searched 

out unfinished housing 

developments 

and raced our cars 

around the roads. 

We were fortunate 

that none of us ever got caught. 

Around this same time we discovered Lime Rock 

and Watkins Glen. We drove to as many of the racing 

events we could. We saw many of the racing luminaries. 

The names that stick my memory were Mark Donohue 

and Peter Revson. But most of all I remember the übersportsman 

Briggs Cunningham orbiting Watkins Glen 

in his helicopter, watching his entrant in the race below. 

As the year wore on and school time approached, 

the three of us went our separate ways. I was working 

for a civil engineer and land surveyor. His son Curt and 

I had palled around some, and Curt convinced me to 

join him in attending college in East Tennessee. That 

September we packed our things into the Porsche and 

headed south. 

Culture shock awaited me. The state was dry. Television 

consisted of three channels: wrestling, country 

music, and religious programming. I would first see 

Dolly Parton on the Porter Wagoner television show. 

Porter sported this . . . let’s call it . . . Technicolor suit. 

I saw Teddy and Doyle, the Wilburn Brothers, who had 

their own show. Porter and Dolly were in the major 

leagues; Teddy and Doyle were in the minors. 

Wrestling, pronounced “wrastlin’,” was obviously 

highly fake but also highly entertaining. I remember 

a guy name Antonio Rocco who bounced around the 

ring like a big rubber ball. Most of the other wrastlers 

were glandular case hillbilly types in bib overalls. 

I pledged a fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon. One of my 

duties was to procure liquor for our weekend house 

parties. This meant driving the 52 miles to Abingdon, 

Virginia, to the package stores that the dotted the state 

line. Every Friday, after classes, I would head north with 

a list of requirements from the full-fledged fraternity 

brothers. Most favored pint bottles. A few had flasks 

so it was fifths or quarts for them. Never mind if I was 

stopped by the cops or the alcoholic beverage control 

boys. They could confiscate my car. But I was a lowly 

pledge. Do it and like it. 

I was never chased. But I still fancied myself as a 

Thunder Road bootlegger personified. I had even 

been to Ashville, North Carolina to be shown the coal 

yard where movie actor Robert Mitchum jumped out of 

a window to evade the revenuers. 

House parties were always fun. The dance craze was 

the Alligator, which involved drunkenly sprawling on 

the floor and flailing one’s arms in a swimming motion. 

The preferred song for the Alligator was Double 

Shot of My Baby’s Love by the Swinging Medallions, 

a not-ready-for-Carnegie-Hall group. For the record, I 

became the vice-president of the Gamma Chapter of 

Sigma Phi Epsilon and could tell others to go on booze 

runs to Virginia. 

School progressed. I still had the Porsche. I was entering 

my senior year in the Reserve Officers’ Training 

Corps, or ROTC. I come from a military family so my 

goal was to be become a Regular Army officer. This 

entailed becoming a Distinguished Military Graduate. 

This came true, and after graduation I sold the Porsche 

and was off to Viet Nam. 

Nobody wants to 

hear war stories, so I’ll 

fast-forward to the end 

of my second tour. I 

ultimately returned to 

Fort Sill, Oklahoma, 

and there came another 

Porsche. This time it 

was a 1971 914-6. (This, 

of course, is the second 

1971 914-6 

car I should have held onto.) I enjoyed the 914. But 

this was Oklahoma, hellishly hot, and the Porsche was 

un-air-conditioned. 

(Flash forward: today 

I drive a 2006 911 Cabriolet, 

sedate by Porsche 

standards, but we are 

talking many years and a 

waterfall of Stella Artois 

over the spillway.) 

(Flash back to Oklahoma.) I’m still in the army. I 

purchased a Triumph Bonneville motorcycle to com-

mute from my apartment to Officer Career Courses at 

Fort Sill. Helmets were mandatory, so early each morning 

several us arrived dressed in Class A uniforms and 

dutifully wearing our helmets. 

The Bonneville led me to a group of locals and 

Army types who spent their weekends tearing around 

Lake Ellsworth on dirt bikes. I went through several before 

settling on a 360cc Husqvarna. Its 46 horsepower 

proved to be my undoing. I crashed the bike, broke my 

left collarbone, and spent the rest of the hot Oklahoma 

summer in a body cast. 

About the time I got out of the body cast, I met Judy, 

who has been my wife for nearly 40 years. I needed 

something less dangerous to drive, so I purchased a 

new 1972 Corvette. It had the 454 cu. In. engine, but by 

this time Chevy had fallen prey to emission standards 

so the car only managed a puny 270 horsepower. 

Army life was quickly losing its charms, so I resigned 

my Captain’s commission. Judy and I were off to graduate 

school at the University of Oklahoma. We both took 

jobs to work our way through school. 

Eventually the company I worked for transferred us 

to Texas. The years passed. We moved from Keller to 

Lewisville to Flower Mound. Last year another Porsche 

arrived. We became Mavericks and we continue to enjoy 

the friends we’ve met and roads we’ve traveled.

Maverick Region Logo: Time For An Update? 

By Bill Orr 

Images by Bill Orr 

he Maverick Region was born in November 

T 

1962 at the Fiesta Best Western Motel in 

Arlington, Texas. The official charter from 

the national officers of PCA was issued on 

December 24th, 1962. On 

April 5th, 1963 Geoffery 

Hamilton Horsfall submitted 

a design for the first 

Maverick Region logo, a 

design that has now been 

in use for over 50 years. 

Logos are intended 

to be the “face” of a company: 

They are graphical 

displays of a company’s 

unique identity, and through colors, fonts and images 

they provide essential information about a company 

that allows customers to identify with the company’s 

brand. 

Unfortunately, the most unique element of the original 

design is overlooked by most because of a change 

made years ago. The replica of a Porsche steering 

wheel in black and nickel finish was changed by removing 

the Porsche crest and replacing it with a gold star. 

The problem is that the white star was supposed to represent 

the Lone Star State and now there are two stars. 

In addition, the original logo was designed before the 

newsletter, before the website, and before the Goodie 

Store. As a result it is technically problematic. With its 

layered elements and fine lines, it does not scale well. 

The two places you see this most is in the newsletter 

and on Goodie Store items. In the newsletter it does 

not scale down very well at all. On embroidered items 

from the Goodie Store, the logo has to be sewn unusually 

large in order to see all of the detail and fine 

lines. Another issue is that the word “Texas” is written 

in white, and because it is superimposed over the white 

star, the “x” tends to get lost. 

Being over 50 years old, the original logo is very dated. 

The font used is very plain and lacks style. There is 

nothing that visually connects the emblem to Porsche 

or to the national Porsche Club. Fifty years ago, Porsche 

only sold sports cars. Today they sell sports cars, SUVs, 

sedans, and even bicycles. In that time, both Porsche 

and the Porsche Club have updated their logos. It’s 

time for the Maverick Region do so as well, because the 

original logo just does not meet the needs of the region 

today or in the future. So at the June 1, 2016 Board 

meeting, the Maverick Region Board voted to change 

the logo upon the approval of a new design. 

In designing a new logo our mission was to design 

something that reflected the region we serve. With 

144 different regions in PCA, having a logo that communicates 

where you are from is important at national 

events. We also set out with a specific set of objectives: 

• It needs to be something the members of the 

organization can proudly stand behind. 

• It needs to look good at all sizes and on all forms 

of media. 

• It needs to appeal to people of all ages. 

• It needs to appeal to potential members, donators, 

and sponsors. 

• It needs to be modern, but not rely too heavily 

on trends. 

• It needs to have a visual connection to both the 

national Porsche Club and Porsche logos. 

• It needs to be strong enough to stand next to the 

national Porsche Club and Porsche logo and not 

look out of place. 

So we came up with a new PROPOSED design that 

kept the original concept of the Texas Flag and the 

Lone Star State. It uses a wheel and tire instead of a 

steering wheel, but we added the Porsche Horse to tie 

it to the Porsche Crest and to the PCA National logo. 

The single STAR over a red, 

white, and blue background represents 

the State of Texas Flag. 

Adding the Horse from the 

Porsche crest, and the word Texas 

ties the logo back to Porsche 

as well as the Maverick Region. 

When most people think of Maverick 

and Texas they think of the 

NBA basketball team, the Dallas 

Mavericks, whose mascot is a 

horse. 

The black ring with white text 

represents a tire. The star inside 

a circle represents a wheel. The 

red and blue are like brake calipers 

showing through the wheel. 

Wheel and tire dimensions have 

changed over time, but unlike steering wheels, they are 

basically the same as in years past. 


The end result is something that not only meets all of our objectives but it is also an evolution of the original 

concept. 

If you now look at the new PROPOSED Maverick region logo and compare it to the Porsche Crest and the PCA 

logo, I think you will agree that the new logo not only stands on its own, but it complements the Porsche Crest and 

the PCA logo much better than the old one. 

The Maverick Region Board is looking for feedback on the new PROPOSED logo and is accepting any and all 

other design ideas. Please submit those to Bill Orr via email at bill@billorr.com.

Tub Club Adventures: The Tub Club Goes Green 

By Barbara Madsen 


en Tub Club members 

T 

enjoyed an inspiring 

and informational tour 

of the Native Texas Park 

at the Bush Presidential Center in 

Dallas in April. Hertha Hughes, a 

Tub Club (and Maverick) member 

who is a docent at the Bush Library, 

initiated and organized the event. 

She not only provided the club 

with a wealth of information on the 

environmentally conscious theme 

of the park, but, since Tub Club 

members don’t have much of a 

desire to be pelted by rain and hail 

while looking at wildflowers, had to 

reschedule the tour repeatedly due 

to threatening weather forecasts. 

Hertha identifies various wildflowers 

for Tub Club members 

The 15-acre park is divided up 

into three ecosystems: Blackland 

Prairie, Post Oak Savannah, and 

Cross Timbers Forest. It is unique 

among presidential libraries, and 

the park’s native Texas landscape 

played a key role in qualifying the 

presidential center as a platinum 

Hertha discusses the purpose 

of bioswales in the park’s water 

management system 

level LEED (Leadership in Energy 

and Environmental Design), the 

first presidential library to achieve 

this distinction. To reduce the 

need for irrigation, the topography 

of the site was changed from a flat 

area to one that gradually sloped 

downward 27 feet. A 252-gallon 

cistern is located at the lowest level 

of the park, and all water percolating 

through the park is eventually 

captured there and pumped out to 

take care of the needs of the landscape. 

The cistern, however, is only part 

of the water conservation system 

used in the park. You will also find a 

stone sweep, which slowly expresses 

rainwater, and bioswales, which use 

plants to filter storm water runoff. 

This water management system was 

designed to provide 40% of the water 

needed for the landscape, but 

in actuality, it has far exceeded the 

original goals of the plan. 

We strolled on wandering trails, 

which snaked their way through 

hillsides covered with a kaleidoscope 

of color. Many varieties of 

wildflowers, grasses, bushes, and 

trees were blooming with all the 

enthusiasm spring entails. There 

are 53 different wildflower species 

represented in the park along with 

37 types of grasses, 34 shrub species, 

and 31 species of native trees. 

Although it looked as though we 

were walking through pristine areas 

untouched by human hands, an 

award-winning landscape architect, 

Michael Van Valkenburgh, carefully 

designed the park, and the result 

of his work was breathtaking! The 

self-sustaining and environmentally 

conscious aspect of his design is a 

guide for all of us to follow. It was 

an enjoyable and educational day. 

Thanks, Hertha!

Autocross 4: Mineral Wells Mirror-Cross 

By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair 

he fourth event of the Equipe Rapide/PCA 

T 

Autocross season was held at the expansive 

Mineral Ring site west of the Metroplex on 

Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. This site 

is so large it makes it possible to run two courses sideby-side, 

in what is known as a Mirror-Cross format. Drivers 

lined up for a drag-race style start (complete with 

Christmas Tree lights) on the left and right courses 

and departed simultaneously on parallel straightaways, 

where many cars ran hard in 

third gear before they turned 

away from each other to run 

alone on their own course. After 

the finish, the cars traded 

sides and lined up again to 

run the opposite course. Each 

car got six timed runs in the 

morning and six more timed 

runs in the afternoon. Best 

time on each course was all 

that mattered. 

Mirror-Cross pre-grid 

dual driver cars line up 

Seventy-four drivers ran 

for times, and the side-by-side 

competition created some 


fierce contests in classes and for overall honors, including 

Performance Index (PAX) cash payouts. 

Fred Stubbs and Mike Syler pitted Boxster Spyder 

and 997S respectively against each other in class P3. 

Fred was also first in the Porsche PAX cash payouts at 

this event on one of the courses. Mark Schnoerr won 

PAX on the other side. So far there have been four different 

winners of the top payout this season. 

Class P4 saw the Ed Mayo blue and orange 911S 

and the Sigrid Schnoerr Lime Green 914 2.0, both 

two-driver cars, and Marissa Moore in her 911T, hard 

at work. Mark Schnoerr was quickest in class on both 

courses, while Ed and Sigrid split second quickest on 

both courses. Overall combined for the day, the order 

was Mark, Ed, Sigrid, Julie and Marissa. 

Erik Holt and Doug Edney ran uncontested in their 

own classes but were also competing for the PAX payouts. 

Sue Crimm shared her 924S with Carey Spreen in 

class P9. Sue likes the power steering on this car better 

than the unassisted steering on Carey’s 911SC in the 

fast slalom sections. 

Next event: Sunday, July 24, at beautiful Lone Star 

Park in Grand Prairie.

Around the Bend... 

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor 

ith all of the rainy days in May through early 

W 

June, I was reminded to re-read one of my 

favorite driving stories, The Art of Racing in 

the Rain by Garth Stein. If you’ve not read 

this one, or even if this is also a re-read for you, reliving 

the story of Enzo and Denny is always uplifting, especially 

since Denny hones his driving skills in a Porsche. 

This is a heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately 

uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope. 

The Art of Racing in the Rain is a captivating look at the 

wonders and absurdities of human life…as only a dog 

could tell it. Now that the weather has dried out a bit, 

you may have to wait for the sprinklers to come on to 

get you in the right mood! 

We recently completed a 17 day road trip in our 

Boxster S through the Southwest and up the West 

coast. The 2014 Boxster S is now 25 months old and 

has 20,000 miles on it. There is no question we feel 

we’re getting full enjoyment out of our Porsche ownership 

investment with each ensuing road trip! 

Of course that got me to thinking about what is 

commonly referred to as “The Porsche Principle”. Attributed 

more than 65 years ago to Ferry Porsche, the 

quoted principle is “In the beginning, I looked around 

and could not find the car I’d been dreaming of: a 

small, lightweight sports car that uses energy efficiently. 

So I decided to build it myself.” 

In our visit to the recently renovated Petersen Car 

Museum in Los Angeles, that Porsche Principle was 

highly visible in their engineering history display area. 

Ferry’s dream of the perfect sports car has always 

driven Porsche – throughout their history 

– with every concept, every development and every 

model. The underlying principle is to always 

get the most out of everything. At Porsche, form 

always follows function. 

So, as Maverick Region members, we enjoy the 

Porsche Principle in many different ways. We have 

members who simply enjoy the pure form, design, even 

art, of the Porsche that sits most often in their garage. 

As collectors of art, viewing their Porsche satisfies an 

important need. 

Other members like to display their Porsche in 

Concours events, putting minimal miles on it to lessen 

the odds of the occasional road blemish occurring. Detailing 

and paying close attention to the cleanliness of 

every surface, inside and out, provides a close connection 

with the form and function of their Porsche. 

Still others view the ultimate enjoyment of both form 

and function of their Porsche in the regular exercise of 

it. These members subscribe to the Porsche credo of “A 

Porsche is no ordinary sports car, but a sports car for 

everyday driving, whatever the weather”. Chips, abrasions, 

and faded paint begin to form the patina of the 

Porsche from the first day of ownership. I imagine that 

quite a few of our members are members of this club, 

mostly by using their Porsche as a daily driver, but also 

perhaps by taking regular road trips like we enjoy in 

that Porsche investment. 

Wherever you fall in The Porsche Principle continuum, 

rest assured that you have many Maverick members 

right beside you. That alone is a great reason to be 

active in our many club events each month. I hope to 

see you soon at one of our upcoming events listed in 

our club calendar on page 1. 

For the August issue of Slipstream, our Photo of the 

Month focus will be Porsche cars participating in 

PCA and Maverick events. Send your photo 

submissions to editor@mavpca.org, or post them 

on our Maverick Region Porsche Club of 

America Facebook group page by July 10.
