Porsche Club of America

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

It’s clear at first glance - 

in this car beats the heart of a pure-bred sprinter. 

Muscular, athletic, powerful and challenging. The Cayenne GTS makes a clear statement. 

On every straight and in every bend. The car is powered by an all-new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 

engine with direct fuel injection (DFI). It produces a 0-62mph time of 5.2 thrilling seconds. 

An all-rounder that enjoys the short sprint as much as the long distance. For exhilaration and 

relaxation. And with a range of standard equipment that is far from ordinary. 

The new Cayenne GTS.

Shifting Gears: What do YOU want from Founders’ Day? 

By Jim Falgout, Region President 

The month of May is one of our most 

active, with plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy 

your Porsche and your fellow Porsche enthusiasts. Be 

sure to participate in at least one if not more events 

this month! 

Now I am really going to shift gears on you: I am 

going to talk about Founders’ Day. Last year I heard 

some members were asking “What is Founders’ Day?” 

Basically, it has been several things through the years. 

Some clubs have monthly membership meetings; the 

Maverick Region does not. Some clubs have an annual 

meeting. Founders’ Day is the closest thing we have 

to an annual meeting. One important function that 

occurs during Founders’ Day is the election of officers. 

Our bylaws require it. However, if that was all we did, it 

would not be much of a meeting. 

As I said previously, it has been many things. 

Previously, awards for our Autocross and Time Trial 

series were given out during Founders’ Day. That 

activity was changed to a different occasion. One thing 

that does happen during Founders’ Day is a silent 

auction to raise funds for our charitable endeavors. 

We choose this event to support our charity, which has 

proven to be a fun activity and helps the cause. In the 

eight years that I have been a member, there have been 

a variety of speakers and it has been “black tie optional.” 

While some may not like that criteria, in reality very 

few exercise that option. The event has been a sit-down 

dinner with a cash bar, although none of this is set in 

stone. 

The reason I am bringing up Founders’ Day is that 

attendance has been declining over the years. We 

have begun re-evaluating the event. We want to know 

what you want the event to be. In what way would 

you like to celebrate the anniversary of the founding 

of the Maverick Region? Please send any suggestions 

to social@mavpca.org or president@mavpca.org. We 

certainly want to hear from you. 

Another thing we want to hear from you about is 

what activity you would like to help make successful. 

You didn’t think I would forget to solicit volunteers, 

did you? Please contact Jim Gallegos at volunteers@ 

mavpca.org. 

YOUR CLUB WANTS YOU . . . Volunteer! You will 

be glad you did.

Mav of the Month 

Many people contribute to the success of your club. 

One of the most successful of your club’s endeavors is 

Slipstream. It has won national awards. In addition to 

the tireless work performed by the editors, the excellent 

articles contributed by members make it the success 

it is. One of our members, who has a very busy 

schedule, finds time to write some of those excellent 

articles. Ash Seidl-Staley, thanks for all your contributions 

to Slipstream. Keep up the good work! 

Ash Seidl-Staley balances his family, school, and 

work while still contributing an article each month 

In what way would you like to celebrate the anniversary 

of the founding of the Maverick Region?

Gimme a Minute: April Board Meeting 

By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary April 6, 2016 

President Jim Falgout 

began promptly at 7:00 pm. 

Social Co-Chair Phyllis Gallegos 

mentioned a date for Founders’ 

Day. Unfortunately, it conflicted 

with our Club Race in November, 

so another date will be worked out. 

May at Mayo’s is all set with Blue 

Mesa catering. She needs more RS- 

VPs, though. 

Volunteer Chair Jimmy Gallegos 

sent out a form for event chairs to 

complete and return to him. He will 

pair up job needs with willing volunteers. 

Editor Jim Hirsch continues to 

create 40-page issues. Current printing 

of 1825 covers our needs. In the 

past five months we have had over 

100 new members join the club, so 

he will continue publishing articles 

recapping what our events are about. 

We have 31 advertisers. The Photos 

of the Month feature is going well 

and is always looking for pictures for 

articles and on the cover. He will be 

gone in May, so Carey Spreen will 

finish the June issue. 

Co-Editor Carey Spreen reminded 

everyone that the Phase II of registration 

for the Porsche Parade in 

Jay Peak, Vermont, opened Monday, 

April 4. 

Goodie Store Chair Chris Flaugh 

has had requests for a Maverick 

window sticker. He found a source 

for $1.29 each (500 minimum). The 

board approved a motion to purchase 

them. He will have them available 

for sale, but cannot do so on 

the Goodie Store website directly. 

He will investigate the best method 

for selling and report later. He will 

also purchase several moderately 

priced items from our Goodie Store 

to make them available for sale. 

Safety Chair Joe McGlohen 

has been training Bob Kramer 

and Wayne Elliot as assistants. His 

current focus is on our Drivers’ 

Education events. He will continue 

looking for an additional younger 

candidate. 

6 May 

Advertising Chair Cindy Bliss is 

still getting a feel for her new position 

and will work with Jim Hirsch. 

Sunday Drive Chair Tom Martin 

reported his first event of the year 

was to the Mitas Hill Vineyard, 

which was attended by 111 cars and 

183 people, the largest ever. His new 

sound system worked perfectly. Because 

the group was so large, he had 

six drive leaders to split the group 

up into manageable chunks. The 

next drives will be to Ben Wheeler, 

TX, and the Revolver Brewing in 

Granbury. 

Bob Kramer looks forward to getting 

more involved in the club while 

not stepping on too many toes. He 

noticed some issues at the last DE 

and will help to make improvements. 

PR Chair Brenda Dranow continues 

to work on issues to help with 

Slipstream, despite being away. 

DE Chair Chris Tabor reported 

the April 2-3 DE had over 100 attendees. 

The DEs this year to date 

have been more successful than last 

year’s to this point of the year, partly 

due to better date selections. He 

will be looking to increase the price 

of the September event by $25 to 

adjust for increasing costs. He has 

been reaching out to new members 

by sending event discount coupons. 

Bill Orr is assisting Tom Martin 

with Sunday Drives. He shared a 

new phone app called “Porsche GTS 

Routes” that records routes and 

makes them available to publish, a 

possible great tool for the events. 

Concours Chair Andy Kay is set 

for May at Mayo’s on April 30. He 

has his awards and other items prepared, 

but needs several volunteers 

to help with parking and vote tallying. 

He is also working to get volunteer 

judges for the June 5 Autos in 

the Park concours. If he cannot get 

enough judges, it will be a people’s 

choice event. 

Calendar Boy Brendan Eagan has 

the Google calendar up to date and 

is looking for a replacement helper, 

as his last one moved away. 

Rally Chair Don Sebert has his 

first event on April 16, a Puzzle Rally 

from Plano to the San Martiño Winery 

in Rockwall. He is taking RSVPs 

to rally@mavpca.org. 

Secretary Wendy Shoffit reported 

for several absentee chairs. Membership 

Chair John Hamilton stated 

we had a net gain of 12 from last 

month, bringing us to a total of 2529 

primary and associate members. 

Autocross Chair Mark Schnoerr 

said that, after three events so far, 

19 Mavericks have participated in 

the series, but no one has swept the 

new classes. The AX school was held 

March 19 in Mineral Wells, followed 

the next day by a mirrorcross. The 

third event was at Lone Star Park 

where he was course designer and 

event master – a great event with 

some close battles in the Porsche 

classes. The next event is May 29, 

the day after the first Time Trial this 

year, both in Mineral Wells. Time 

Trial Chair Travis Howard is ready 

for that event and will be running 

TT Course #1. More information 

later. Historian Charlie Davis will 

begin working on dates for the next 

Photo School and contest. He will 

report on those later, as details are 

decided. Lastly, as Club Race registrar, 

Wendy reported that the COTA 

event is shaping up. Attendance is 

currently down from past years, but 

will work to increase those numbers. 

Jim Falgout announced that Ash 

Seidl-Staley is the Maverick of the 

Month because of his continuing 

tech article writing for Slipstream, 

despite a very busy school and life 

schedule. If you have suggestions 

on someone you would like to see 

receive Mav of the Month, contact 

Jim. 

Meeting was adjourned at 7:45 

pm, as our fearless accountant leader 

had to return to work because of 

tax season. Possibly the shortest 

meeting ever!

Destination Restoration: Jacking It Up 

By Ash Seidl-Staley 

Photo Courtesy of the Author 

One of the most beautiful aspects of the 

Porsche, as a car, is its low profile. Whether one drives 

the classic 911, a nimble 914, a scathingly fast Carrera 

GT, or one of the various front engine Porsches, the 

truncated stance screams power and agility. It is undeniably 

accurate to state that this look is gorgeous and 

advantageous for high speed cornering, but having the 

car so close to the ground can often make upkeep of 

the vehicle difficult. Many maintenance procedures can 

be accomplished without having to raise the vehicle up 

into the air, but many more cannot. To avoid unnecessary 

damage to our precious vehicles, it is important 

to know where the car’s jack points are and how to 

properly use them. For the purposes of instruction this 

article will focus its attention on how to lift both front 

and rear engine-mounted Porsches, specifically a 911 

and a 944—though these procedures and jack points 

can be carried over to newer models and body shapes. 

Let’s begin with a nice diagram depicting a 911’s 

jack points. As you can see, there are six main points 

underneath the car that should 

be used to jack up the vehicle. 

Two of them sit directly behind 

the front wheels of either side 

of the vehicle and the four other 

points lie directly in front of the 

rear wheel wells. On most vehicles, 

when rust is not an issue 

or the structural integrity of the 

rocker panels isn’t threatened, 

this section of the floor pan has 

little nodes that stick out signaling 

the exact position a jack 

should be placed. If the front of 

the vehicle needs to be lifted the 

best places to lift, include directly 

in the center of the Crossbeam or 

at the A-Arm mounting points. 

Jack points are 

marked with an X 

Many home mechanics, myself included, 

choose to lift the rear of 

the car via the sump plate cover 

on the bottom of the engine. I have read and seen multiple 

discussions pertaining to this procedure and have 

determined that using the engine for a jacking point 

is really up to each individual owner. As long as care 

is taken throughout the lifting procedure your car will 

be free of damage. Remember, patience and common 

sense are our friends. 

No matter what position you wish to raise your vehicle 

by, it is important to always use an item, usually 

a small chunk of wood, as a buffer in between the jack 

plate and the metal of the vehicle. This not only provides 

an added measure of stability but helps protect 

your vehicle’s metal if a slide or jack slip were to occur. 

A procedure that is doubly important is always, and I 

repeat always, utilize jack stands in conjunction with 

the floor jack itself. Too much can go wrong when using 

the floor jack alone; jack stands provide additional 

support and save lives. Thankfully Porsche has courteously 

provided many points where jack stands can be 

inserted. These include: the rear torsion bar covers, 

the front torsion bar mounting points, the front cross 

beam connecting the A-arms, and the rear torsion tube 

itself. 

Once 

the car 

has been 

lifted 

up and 

placed 

on jack 

stands, 

remove 

the floor 

jack and 

step 

Notice that the jack point for a 944 is in the 

middle. Jack stands can be inserted at the four 

corners of the floor pan. 

away from the vehicle. Allow the weight of the car to 

settle on the stands for a few minutes. Then administer 

a test on the vehicle by pushing and shoving the car. 

There is no need to get angry like the Hulk, but it is 

important that you do this to make sure that the car 

will not slip or fall off of the stands while you are under 

the vehicle. It is better to have the car fall off the 

stands when you push on it then it would be to have the 

car shift while torqueing a bolt or breaking free one of 

those trailing arms. For added security, as my family has 

experienced the detrimental effects of a jack failure 

first hand, I always place two extra tires underneath the 

floor pan. This only eases my mind, as well as my wife’s, 

but is not strictly necessary. 

To lower the car after your work is done, replace 

the floor jack to the point where you chose to lift the 

car. Lift up, carefully remove jack stands and any other 

form of safety measure present, then slowly lower the 

vehicle down to its iconic stance. 

That’s about it my friends! Remember, the Internet 

is full of beneficial “how to” videos, discussion boards, 

and technical articles that adequately describe how to 

jack up each specific Porsche model. It wouldn’t hurt 

to invest in a Haynes manual either . . . Wrench on, 

Mavs!

Mitas Hill Vineyard Sunday Drive Recap 

ByTom Martin, Sunday Drive Chair 

Photos by George Luxbacher 

Would you have any 

Grey Poupon? It was the first 

day of Spring, just hours after the 

vernal equinox. The neo-Druids 

were spent from their time at 

Stonehenge, the Australian Grand 

Prix was already in the books, and 

somewhere in North Texas, a bevy 

of the Porsche faithful gathered in 

a parking lot in Plano. 

Actually, it was more than a bevy 

of Porsches. More than a cadre, a 

covey, a crowd, or a flock, too. In 

fact, it was more of a horde. Maybe 

even a legion. It was the biggest 

dang turnout of Porsches and people 

that the Club has ever seen for 

a Maverick Tour. 

Yes, 111 Porsches and 183 people 

turned up for the first Sunday 

Drive of the 2016 season. 

The drive was a relatively short 

62.1-mile jaunt, designed as a sort 

of primer for new members to the 


A record number of Maverick members 

participated in the first drive of the year 

Leaving the lot to start the drive 

All told, six drive groups were required 

to accommodate all of the participants 

Maverick fold. And there were a lot 

of new members present: almost 

50% according to a quick show of 

hands. 

The first section of the drive 

led drivers out of the confines of 

the Metroplex; the second took 

us through towns 

like Farmersville 

where the roads 

opened up somewhat; 

and once the 

drive groups passed 

through Blue 

Ridge, the third leg 

was devoted to doing 

what Porsches 

do best . . . killing 

bugs. Quickly. 

Because of the 

total distance of 

the drive, and the 

relatively short elapsed time needed, 

it was decided to forego the 

mid-drive restroom break that most 

Sunday Drives include. It seems 

that many members appreciated 

the streamlining. Plus, the service 

station in Princeton at the halfway 

point would not have been able to 

handle the 100+ Porsche swarm 

clogging their parking lot and utilizing 

the sole rest room. 

Upon arrival at the Vineyard, 

we were greeted by our gracious 

host Rob King, who had a social 

area dedicated for our group, in 

addition to the normal bar and 

restaurant areas. Truth be told, the 

establishment was overwhelmed 

by the influx of customers, even 

though it was alerted well in 

advance. 

The Porsche Club is welcome 

back next year; we will be working 

closely with 

management 

to establish a 

prix fixe, limited 

menu to 

alleviate this 

issue. 

While the 

wait time was 

a little longer 

than normal, 

my wife and 

I enjoyed Our club Porsche cars 

some great filled the Mitas lot 

gourmet cuisine. 

She had a delightful chicken 

Caesar salad, and I had sea scallops 

paired with a mozzarella caprese. 

Not only was the food superbly 

prepared, the presentation was also 

excellent. And of course, there was 

the wine, which was also very good. 

Many thanks to our Drive Leaders: 

Voy “Mitch” Mitchell, John 

Harvey, Jon Glover, Young Slack, 

and Bill Orr, for helping to make 

this Drive a resounding success. 

Also, a big shout-out to my sweep 

Kevin Creed for doing an excellent 

job of cat wrangling. 

Next stop on the tour: Ben 

Wheeler. 

Hope to see you at the next Sunday 

Drive!

Driver Education 2016: April DE at MotorSport Ranch 

By Chris Tabor, DE Chair, and Carey Spreen 

Photos by Gary Glover* 

Maverick Region’s second Driver Education 

(DE) event of 2016, held at MotorSport Ranch 

on April 2 and 3, was a very successful one for us. The 

Green (beginner) and Blue (novice) groups were full, 

and the Yellow (intermediate/experienced) and White 

(experienced) groups were mostly full. Several drivers 

advanced to higher run groups, and two advanced students 

became new driving coaches – quite a feat! 

*Photo by Andrew Barber 

Your Porsche and the track were made for each other 

The next DE on the calendar is the Advanced Solo- 

Only event at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, the 

weekend of May 6-8, held in conjunction with a PCA 

Club Race, and put on by Lone Star and Hill Country 

Regions along with your Maverick Region. 

After that is our summer hiatus, with the next event 

coming up on September 24-25. DE-ers are already 

looking forward to September to kick off the Fall portion 

of this popular series. 

Driving your Porsche (or other car) on a real racetrack 

is educational and exhilarating, and of course just 

Classroom instruction helps everyone learn the track 

plain fun. As a beginner, you always have an instructor 

in the car with you to help you learn about your car, the 

course, the rules, and racetrack etiquette. Safety is our 

highest priority, but fun and camaraderie rank right up 

there too! 

Your Porsche, right off the showroom floor, is a competent 

racetrack vehicle – all you need is some track 

time, along with the basic skills and proper attitude, 

which is where the instructor comes into play. He or 

she will help you understand that the correct application 

of steering and brakes, as well as the throttle, are 

what make you both fast and safe on a racetrack. If you 

are worried about wear and tear on your car, tires and 

brake pads are the typically the only items that wear out 

more quickly than normal street driving. 

Opportunities to learn from many Maverick members 

Chris Tabor welcomes the DE participants 

Because we feel so strongly about new Porsche owners 

and drivers understanding the capabilities of their 

cars, Maverick Region is now mailing invitations to all 

new members to try it out, including a $50 discount. 

Additionally, if you refer a friend who has never driven 

their car (Porsche or not) on a track, you will receive a 

$50 referral bonus when they register. 

Come on out to a DE – you’ll be glad you did!

With three events into the ten-event season, 

we have 19 Maverick PCA members in the series, and 

no one is sweeping any of the new 2016 PCA classes. 

Equipe Rapide’s annual Autocross School was held 

March 19 at Mineral Wells, where entrants were able to 

work with experienced coaches on a figure-8 skid pad, 

a low- and high-speed slalom, a fast switchback section, 

and a full autocross course. Breakthrough car control 

skills were experienced by all participants and seat time 

was a priority. 

The next day followed 

with the second 

Autocross series event, 

a dual course Mirror- 

Cross on March 20. 

In a MirrorCross, a

GT3 versus 650S: You’re the Winner 

By Bob Kramer 


About a year ago, I received 

an invite to the McLaren 

Sports Series Reveal Event, hosted 

by Park Place McLaren and the 

McLaren factory. A new car, the 

570S, was to debut as the marque’s 

entry level model. Factory reps 

were there to present the cars and 

answer questions along with dealer 

personnel. The pre-production 

model on display was stunning, 

a true beauty, but as it was not a 

complete car, it could not be fully 

experienced. Heck, we couldn’t 

even sit in it. 

Luckily, they said I was welcome 

to try out its “big brother,” the 650S, 

instead. The nicest of individuals, 

I’ll call him Chris, took me out on 

a test drive that highlighted some 

of the car’s more performanceoriented 

attributes. I think at one 

point, one of us might have even 

exceeded the speed limit. To say 

the least, the car is a hoot on the 

street. 

I happened to mention how I 

had become a track junkie with my 

Porsches over the last couple years, 

and that it sure would be nice to 

get a ride in one of the McLarens 

on the track. As luck would have 

it, he said the dealership was hosting 

a private customer track day at 

MotorSport Ranch in Cresson the 

following week. Further, he might 

be able to get me a drive in one 

then . . . and would I be available 

on Wednesday? Hmmmm . . . OK! 


The McLaren 570S 

The following Wednesday 

turned out to be one of those 

bluebird days you dream about, 

especially while living in Texas. The 

sun was out, and yet the temperature 

and humidity were both pleasant. 

What a perfect day to test the 

merits of the 650S, and see how it 

would stack up against my current 

track car, a 2015 Porsche 991 GT3. 

Admittedly, this would be a tall order 

for the McLaren as I happen to 

love the way my “3” works on the 

track. 

The author’s Porsche GT3 

I got two sessions driving the 

650S that day. As it turned out, that 

was just enough to plant the seed. I 

bought one six months later. 

So, which one do I like better 

-- GT3 or 650S? I love them both. 

How are they different? My observations 

of the differences include 

the following: 

Power: 80% of the 650S’s rather 

substantial torque is available at 

2800rpm. Four hundred lb-ft at 

2800 rpm pulling to 500, vs the 

GT3’s maximum of 324 lb-ft developed 

at around 6200rpm. The only 

thing I’ve experienced that’s similar 

was my CBR900RR race bike. 

You definitely feel the difference. 

Sound: The way the GT3 bangs 

and howls downshifting through 

the gears coming hard into a corner 

(like Rattlesnake at MSR), 

screaming through the GMG, is 

intoxicating. The 650S sounds best 

under acceleration with the back 

window down. And it’s good, but 

never quite gets to the GT3’s 9000 

rpm note. 

Ride: I’m sure a good chunk of 

the extra $$$ charged for a 650S is 

because of the suspension. As far 

as I’m concerned, it’s worth it. The 

ride is unbelievable. It’s better on 

the road than my ‘16 Macan T with 

AS, to say nothing of the GT3. Even 

in track mode, on the track, the 

ride is surprisingly smooth and flat, 

even under braking and cornering. 

That’s some kinda technology. 

Handling: I’m a bit more comfortable 

near my limits in the GT3. 

Some of that may be due to the fact 

I’ve tracked it a lot more. Some of 

it is likely due to the difference in 

tires (Pirelli P Zero Corsa A vs Michelin 

Pilot Sport Cup 2). Some of 

it is because the GT3 is more adjustable. 

Expendables cost: The McLaren 

goes through tires at least twice as 

fast as the GT3 does. It also appears 

to have a serious appetite for rear 

brake rotors because of its brake 

steer / open diff technology. By the 

way, a set is about $8000. Don’t ask 

me how I know. 

Driver data: The GT3 displays 

readable numeric data (oil pressure, 

oil temp, water temp, tire 

pressure). The 650S displays tire 

pressures and tire temperatures, 

but there’s no way I can read them 

while the car is moving. Further, 

engine data is shown in the form of 

four-stage bar graphs. While they’ve 

never moved off “normal” when in 

use, I wonder what the actual range 

has been . . . and just how bad abnormal 

would be . . . and how close 

I’ve been to it. 

View: Visibility out of the 650S is 

excellent. While the GT3 rear view 

mirror shows me a great view of the 

wing, I can actually see other cars 

out the back of the McLaren. The 

view out the front is much better 

also. The lower deck height along

with the raised fenders makes it much easier to place 

the 650S exactly where you want it. That’s quite handy 

on the track. 

Braking: Both have exceptional 

brakes. I can, however, 

brake slightly later, even 

though I’m going slightly 

faster, in the Mclaren. Did I 

happen to mention the cost 

of the McLaren’s rotors? 

Fun factor: I can’t imagine 

two better cars to have at the same time, given their 

price points. One could argue an RS and a 675LT 

would be a better pair but others might argue the $$$ 

difference would be better spent on a Billet Silver Metallic 

Viper ACR. Just thinking out loud . . .

Member Travel Notes: Finding a Road Less Traveled 

By Melissa Nichols 


My husband has been an avid motorcyclist 

for 20+ years and his primary requirement in trying to 

find the perfect ride was to figure out the most crooked 

path to the destination. Since we purchased “Greta,” 

our 2008 Boxster, a little over two years ago, the same 

rule has applied. Because we live east of the Dallas Metroplex, 

most of our travels have been north of Hwy 

380 and east of I-35. 

One of our rides had the 

target of destination of Bug 

Tussle, Texas. We’d read that 

it was quite the photo stop, so 

we decided to see for ourselves. 

Google Maps is our friend when 

finding locations. I simply type 

in the location, avoiding highways, 

toll roads, etc., to keep us 

away from the traffic, and then 

I alter the course and move the 

lines around until the route is 

as curvy as possible. These maps 

are before and after playing 

Bug Tussle original route 

Bug Tussle altered route 

with the route to Bug Tussle. 

Along the way we stop in quaint 

little downtown 

eateries, always 

in search of the 

perfect piece of 

pie. One such café 

that deserves a 

recommendation 

is Sabine’s on the 

Square in Trenton. 

The owner is a lively 

rock-n-roll chick 

who serves large helpings of pretty decent food. Don’t 

forget to try her pecan 

pie if you stop 

in. As for Bug Tussle, 

well, it is certainly 

worth the trip for the 

photo op, but don’t 

blink or you will miss 

the one and only 

dilapidated building 

at the intersection of 

two cotton fields. 

A Bug Tussle photo op 

Durant original route 

On our most recent excursion, we drove to Durant, 

Oklahoma for a concert and a little bit of gaming action. 

We decided on a straight shot to get to the destination 

but took the leisurely route home. In doing so, 

we found a beautiful bridge that spans the Red River 

between Oklahoma and Texas, and the countryside 

is gorgeous with endless rolling hills. We stopped for 

a few pictures and then drove through Bonham State 

park as well. Our advice is to always make the detour 

for state parks. The usual entry fee is $4.00 per person 

but in this case, they will let you drive the scenic loop 

for 15 minutes as a courtesy. It’s a quaint little park that 

we will consider going back to for a picnic lunch. Here 

are the before and after maps of the Durant trip as well 

as pictures of the bridge and Bonham State Park: 

As a general 

rule of thumb, our 

day trips are usually 

3-5 hours in 

length which includes 

a stop for 

lunch. We usually 

have a target destination 

in mind 

and work around 

how to get to and 

from that point. 

We’ve found that 

Durant altered route 

Bridge at the Oklahoma-Texas border 

the people in local eateries often have good advice on 

other things to see in the area, and they’re usually 

friendly. Most of all though, our goal is just to enjoy the 

experience of the drive.

City, Texas and have been Maverick PCA Members since 

November 2014.

Revolver Brewing: May Saturday Drive Preview 

By Tom Martin, Sunday Drive Chair 

B - DOUBLE-E - DOUBLE-R - UN – 

Beer Run ! 

Do you remember the malt shops of your youth? 

Yeah…… neither do I. Well, our May Saturday Drive 

leads us Mavericks to a malt and hop shop, courtesy of 

Revolver Brewing in Granbury. 

Come escape the confines of the urban sprawl and 

explore with us some of the less traveled backroads of 

the western sector of the Metroplex. The route is 101 

miles in length, so we should arrive at our destination 

just in time for a refreshing afternoon libation. 

Every Saturday, Revolver Brewing opens its property 

to the general public to partake of their most excellent 

wares, and also those of a food truck or two. Admission 

is $10.00, and 

includes a logo 

pint glass, beer 

tasting, live music, 

and a tour 

given by one 

of their genius 

brewers. 

Some picnic tables and chairs are available, but it 

is recommended that Mavericks bring their own lawn 

chairs. 

The Drive will be held on Saturday, May 14th. Starting 

point is the parking lot of WalMart Supercenter, 

located at 6360 Lake Worth Boulevard in Lake Worth. 

Starting time is 10:00 am, so plan to get there a little 

early to sign up and attend the Drivers’ Briefing. 

Of course, attendees are not required to participate 

in any of the destination’s offerings, so if one desires, 

one may head straight home after the Drive on their 

own route. 

If you plan on attending the Drive, it is imperative 

that you RSVP before the Drive. Just shoot an e-mail 

to tours@mavpca.org with a simple “I will be attending 

(by myself, with my wife, with a friend, etc.)” and you’re 

in. When you RSVP, it gives us an accurate count to 

supply to the proprietor of the destination, plus three 

days before the Drive, you will receive an e-mail with 

the following attachments: a Garmin .gdb file of the 

route, a route overview, and turn-by-turn instructions. 

Hope to see you (and your Porsche of course) at the 

Beer Run!

Maverick Monthly Social: Love & War in Texas 

By Brenda Dranow, Slipstream Wrangler 

Photos by George Luxbacher 

Well, another fun social night out was experienced 

with the Maverick Region Porsche Club and this time it 

was at “Love & War in Texas,” located in Grapevine. 

This monthly social for March was well attended by 

Porsche Club members to catch up with each other 

and to just have a good time in spite of the rain. There 

was an array of great looking Porsches to admire in the 

parking lot, which kept you from questioning if you 

ended up at the right place. We can expect to always 

have a good time at these socials, thank you Stephanie 

Ho (PCA Maverick Region Monthly Social Chair) for 

coordinating another great event.

Around the Bend... 

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor 

The Joy of Porsche. I have not been able to 

find a tome with that title, although there is a legion of 

books under the heading of “The Joy of ...”. 

No, I’m not about to begin writing the Porschespecific 

entry into that genre. Instead, I’m going to 

encourage our Maverick Region members to write your 

personal chapter of The Joy of Porsche and be willing to 

share your experiences with our readers. 

For example, I happened 

to be out at the 

April 12 Track Night 

in America and had 

a chance to see firsthand 

how one of our 

members experienced 

The Joy of Porsche. Mike 

Mike Barnett and his 2007 

Porsche Carrera at MSR 

had not been out 

to the track with his 

Porsche 911 for almost 

three years. After four 

sessions that evening, the Joy for Mike in getting back 

on the track was readily apparent. 

And, as many of you know, your Porsche also experiences 

its own version of Joy after a bit of vigorous exercise. 

All of its many computer-adaptive systems come to 

full attention when you ask your Porsche to stretch its 

legs as it was originally engineered to do. Its Joy is that 

all systems stay at close to full attention for some time 

after you complete your track time. The response as 

you drive it on the street for the next few days brings an 

even greater amount of Joy to you! 

This issue is filled with many other examples 

of The Joy of Porsche. For example, Melissa Nichols 

shares her family’s driving strategies when 

looking for some Joyful time on the road. 

Bob Kramer shares the Joy of comparing the driving 

experience of wonderful cars that many of us only get 

to dream of driving. Ongoing contributor Ash Seidl- 

Staley provides Joyful strategies for suspending your 

Porsche in the air safely. 

And, new for this issue, member David Cavazos 

shares his Joy of sketching Porsche-based cartoons. 

David is titling his series as “Pcar -Tunes”. I hope this 

becomes a regular feature of Slipstream. 

Whatever your Joy of Porsche includes, please share 

those experiences with our readers by sending your 

stories to me at editor@mavpca.org. 

Finally, in our continuing Slipstream initiative - Mav 

Photos of the Month - the focus for this month was 

engines. Thanks to our members for submitting these 

great photos shown on page 31. 

For the June issue, our focus is interesting 

backgrounds with your Porsche in the 

foreground, so send your photo submissions to 

editor@mavpca.org or post them on our 

Maverick Region Porsche Club of America 

Facebook group page by May 10.
