Porsche Club of America

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

The everyday act of blowing your mind. 

The Cayman never ceases to amaze, time and time again. Its power is derived from a 2.7-liter flat-six engine 

with direct fuel injection. Combined with PDK, it produces a 0-60mph time of 5.3 seconds and a top track 

speed of 164mph. It's as surprising the thousandth time as it was the first. A visceral, sporty driving 

experience that you can expect across all models. Which is why for Porsche owners, there is no substitute. 

The Cayman. Forever amazing.

Shifting Gears: Volunteers are our Lifeblood! 

By Jim Falgout, Region President 

As I sit here composing this article I am 

looking at the beautiful weather. Hard to believe it 

is February. Of course, by the time you read this the 

weather could be totally different -- we are in North 

Texas after all. Anyway, this weather is very conducive 

to driving your Porsche. Soon we will have several 

opportunities for just that. 

First gear: Our first Drivers’ Education weekend is 

scheduled for February 27-28 and our first Autocross 

on February 28. Both will have been successfully 

completed by the time you read this. In March there 

is an Autocross Novice School followed by another 

Autocross at Mineral Wells as well as a Sunday Drive to 

Mitas Hill Winery. We do not have a Drivers’ Education 

in March because in years past there were several 

conflicts, such as spring break, but there will be several 

club-sponsored events coming up in April and May. Just 

check the website or the calendar in this Slipstream. 

Second gear: I want to mention a couple of events 

that are coming up later: All British and European Car 

Day, and a Club Race and Solo Drivers’ Education at 

Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin. The All 

British and European Car Day folks have invited us to 

attend, and will provide a separate class and parking for 

Porsches. It will be held on Sunday, May 1 at White Rock 

Lake. The Club Race and DE at COTA is a joint effort of 

your club, the Hill Country Region and the Lone Star 

Region. If you want to participate and are qualified as 

a Solo driver, registration will open on March 21. If you 

cannot enter, but would like to either be a spectator or 

a volunteer, it would be a great opportunity to see this 

very nice track. The event at COTA is May 6, 7, and 8. 

Third gear: your club includes over 2,500 others that 

appreciate and own a Porsche in the North Texas area. 

We were in the top five clubs in the country for growth 

in 2015. That speaks volumes about your club. It means 

we have something that many people want. As you have 

heard me say many times, it is only possible because of 

the many volunteers. Here it comes….. 

Fourth gear: YOUR CLUB NEEDS 

YOU . . . volunteer! You will be glad you 

did. As I have mentioned previously, we 

now have a Volunteer Chairman, Jim 

Gallegos. Just contact him at volunteers@ 

mavpca.org and he can assist you with 

getting the most out of your membership 

by helping your club to continue to be the organization 

many enjoy.

Mavs of the Month 

Speaking of volunteers and Jim Gallegos, Jim and 

his wife Phyllis have both gotten very involved with the 

Maverick Region. Phyllis is co-chairperson of social 

events and was instrumental in the All Member Party 

being the success it was. It is really nice to see a couple 

being involved in the same organization. So this month 

Jim and Phyllis Gallegos are the Mavs of the Month. I 

hope they both inspire other couples to get involved. 

“This weather is very conducive to driving your Porsche. Soon we will have several opportunities for just that.”

Last “Minute” Substitution: February Board Meeting 

By Carey Spreen, Interim Minutiae Wrangler February 3, 2016 

The Board meeting began 

at 7:00 pm. 

President Jim Falgout noted 

that nominations for PCA National 

Awards are due March 1. These are 

annual awards that PCA presents at 

the Porsche Parade for Enthusiast 

of the Year, Family of the Year, and 

Region of the Year, as well as for 

Public Service awards. To nominate 

someone, please contact a board 

member (page 4). 

Jim announced that the West 

Texas Region is hosting their first 

ever Swap Meet on Saturday, April 

23 in Lubbock. PCA members 

can reserve a 10 x 10-ft space free 

of charge. Contact Larry at larrycrs46@hotmailcom 

or 806-777- 

7857 for details. 

The All British and European 

Car Day on Sunday, May 1 at Dreyfuss 

Club Point on White Rock 

Lake, will have a Porsche class this 

year. All participants and spectators 

are asked to bring a pair of new 

closed-toed shoes to donate. Register 

online for $20 or $25 at the gate. 

Jim announced that Cindy Bliss 

has taken over as Ad Manager. She 

will be the main point of contact for 

Slipstream advertisers. 

Jim reported for absentee Board 

members. Monthly Social Chair 

Stephanie Ho said that the February 

18 event at Lavendou Restaurant 

had already received 136 RSVPs. 

The initial limit was 40 RSVPs, so 

Stephanie will work with the owner 

to try to accommodate more. Rally 

Co-Chair Don Sebert noted that 

he and George Luxbacher plan an 

April Gimmick Rally. 

The PCA Zone 5 Presidents 

Meeting is to be held in Austin on 

Saturday, February 20. Treasurer 

Richard Solomon suggested that 

the region pay Jim’s travel expenses 

to attend that meeting. Joe McGlohen 

so moved, Chris Tabor seconded, 

and the motion passed. 

Content Editor Carey Spreen 

(filling in for Secretary Wendy 

Shoffit) reported for absentee 

Managing Editor Jim Hirsch. Jim 

had asked Carey to respond to any 

time-sensitive email while Jim is out 

of the country. Jim expects to get 

the March issue to our proofreaders 

on time. 

6 March 

Time Trial Chair Travis Howard 

plans two Time Trial events this 

year. The first will be in Mineral 

Wells on Saturday, May 21. Prior 

track experience is not required to 

enter this one. The second will be 

on the MotorSport Ranch 1.3-mile 

course on Sunday, October 2. Prior 

track experience is required, as no 

instructors will be available. Travis 

will also be performing routine 

maintenance on the Truxster. 

Treasurer Richard Solomon 

asked if we could move the contents 

of our current storage facility in 

Colleyville to another location, as 

the facility is increasing their rent. 

The consensus was that consolidating 

it is a possibility. 

Member Bill Middleton, who was 

actively involved in the rebuilding 

of the Hope Shelter, advised us that 

the Shelter often has items stolen, 

including portable hair dryers. Bill 

wants to purchase hotel-style hair 

dryers that mount to the wall with 

tamper-resistant hardware, but do 

not require an electrician. The plan 

is to purchase seven of these hair 

dryers at a total cost of $360.93. 

Joe McGlohen made a motion to 

fund this purchase, Cindy Bliss seconded, 

and the motion passed. The 

Hope Shelter will have a clean-up 

date in April. 

Sunday Drive Chair Tom Martin 

told us that all Drives for this year 

are “in the can” and ready to go. 

This year he wants to focus on the 

destinations and do recaps of the 

Drives afterwards. 

Concours Chair Andy Kay is writing 

an article for Slipstream that describes 

how Concours events work. 

Our annual May at Mayo’s dinner 

and People’s Choice Concours will 

be Saturday, April 30 this year, due 

to conflicting events in early May. 

The annual Autos in the Park Concours 

at the Cooper Aerobics Center, 

will be Sunday, June 5. 

Andy relayed that Lone Star 

Region Concours Chair Tom Roy 

held an event using online preregistration, 

allowing them to order 

the exact number of T-Shirts and 

awards needed. Andy would like 

to do this for the Porsche classes at 

Autos in the Park, and is working 

on classifications. His goal is to reintroduce 

timed judging to our region, 

in which judges examine the 

cars under a time limit. He will ask 

for assistance with on-line registration 

from Wendy Shoffit. 

Lastly, he noted that there are 

lots of Mavericks that attend local 

Cars & Coffee but no other events. 

We’ll be working on ideas to improve 

that situation. 

Safety Chair Joe McGlohen 

handed out safety and insurance 

guidelines to all Chairs who put on 

moving car events. He is searching 

for a successor by the end of 2016. 

Autocross Chair Mark Schnoerr 

noted that, since our events are 

actually hosted by Equipe Rapide, 

their insurance covers those events, 

and PCA insurance is not required. 

Joe will confirm with PCA National. 

Treasurer Richard Solomon 

reported that the club has over 

$159,000. He reminded us that a 

Charity Committee will be formed 

before the March meeting. Each 

charitable organization that the 

Committee approves should update 

the Committee and Board on their 

status annually, avoiding donation 

of funds to any organizations that 

are not communicating their status. 

He reminded us to use the online 

Check Request form, and to 

report use of club debit cards within 

72 hours. He also forwarded a 

press release about region member 

Nick Boulle, who took second place 

in the Prototype Challenge race at 

the Rolex 24. 

Drivers’ Education Chair Chris 

Tabor announced that the first DE 

of the season, on February 27-28 

on the MotorSport Ranch 3.1-mile 

course, has 75 entries to date. He 

expects a sellout in green and blue 

groups. Coach training, which vets 

potential driving coaches to confirm 

that they will attend a majority 

of our DEs, has filled up. Chris 

wants to extend discounts to new 

members via email to increase 

awareness of the program. He 

wants to put on one or more nighttime 

DEs this year. 

Our new Goodie Store Co-Chair, 

Chris Flaugh, will partner with Jim 

Hirsch to run our online Store. 

Chris joined PCA last year.

Social Chair Assistant Phyllis Gallegos reported a 

successful All Member Party, with 280 attendees and 

150 Porsches. Tracy Robertson and Phyllis are looking 

for ways to streamline the event for next year and fix 

parking issues. 

Volunteer Chair Jim Gallegos noted that Chris and 

Cindy are recent new volunteers. He has lots of members 

asking what they can do to help out. Jim wants 

brief descriptions of each Chair position to explain 

what duties the potential volunteers could assume. 

He wants a way for interested members to volunteer 

online in advance of certain events. Cindy suggested a 

Volunteer tab on the mav.pca.org website, and Joe suggested 

that we ask what the potential volunteers are 

interested in, so as to match up their interests with the 

club’s needs. For example, the corner worker position 

provides a front-row seat to on-track action. 

Autocross Chair Mark Schnoerr noted that there 

are three schedule conflicts between autocrosses and 

DEs this year, but with seven more autocross events 

available, those conflicts should not hurt either series. 

Slipstream Content Wrangler Brenda Dranow is on 

the lookout for potential article contributors. Unfortunately, 

some fail to give her their contact info, making 

them difficult to reach. 

Ad Manager Cindy Bliss is excited about her new 

position on the Board. 

Finally, President Jim announced the Mavericks of 

the Month as Phyllis and Jim Gallegos for both stepping 

up and becoming involved in club operations. 

Meeting adjourned at 8:05 pm.

Five Speed Chatter: This One Is Deep 

By Ash Seidl-Staley 

Photos Courtesy of the Author 

Have you ever stopped and wondered: 

Why am I a PCA member? Once you rule out the obvious 

answers like: “We’re awesome!”, “Because we love 

Porsches!”, and “I have a need for speed!”, what are 

you left with? For many of us, the reasons for our membership 

are rooted in family, while others enjoy the 

feeling they get creating long lasting relationships with 

like-minded Porsche fanatics. Maverick Region’s own 

Bambina family has, and will always, graciously remind 

us of the existence of this cohesive Porsche family unit. 

“It’s not just the cars, it’s the people!” We all know this 

quote, and for many it has become the club motto, but 

for most it has become a creed we have all come to 

live by. I absolutely love this quote because it speaks 

volumes, not just of our congenial dispositions, but also 

to our passion for camaraderie. 

However, you are probably members because of the 

Porsche automobile itself. The exotic styles, voluptuous 

curves, roaring engines, and intricate handling experiences 

have attracted many people since the 1960s. A 

person’s first Porsche, at least to the other PCA members, 

is a monumental point in his or her life. I do not 

mean to use the term “monumental” to place it on 

the scale of getting married, having children, and or 

graduating from college, though for some this is true. 

I simply mean there is an overwhelming sense of accomplishment, 

pride, and exuberance that washes over 

a person purchasing a Porsche. And then that person 

drives it! 

My reason for being a member of the PCA falls into 

the family category, but could be argued to draw from 

the others. I grew up in a PCA family. My Papa, my 

mother’s father, lived, breathed, and bled Porsche. I 

was lucky to have Porsche models, R.C. cars, and posters 

as a kid, but 

like all children 

my attention span 

could not be held 

on one thing, so I 

ended up trying 

everything. The 

memories I have 

of my Papa revolve 

around the 

Porsche crest; it Papa and grandson: heart and soul 

PCA Member Price $325 

Non-Member Price $350 


has just taken 

me years to figure 

this truth 

out. Nearly 

every picture I 

have of him, either 

with me in 

frame or not, 

the Porsche 

brand is represented. 

The 

cars, books, 

apparel, and 

stickers fill our 

Delbert Milleson Jr. with his 2.4 liter 1972 

911 T.V (euro spec) sporting a custom K3 

Kevlar 935 body kit 

family photo 

albums. Even though I was young, one of my deepest 

regrets in life is not walking out to the garage and asking 

my Papa anything about what he was doing on his 

Porsches. After my Papa’s passing, my curiosity had 

built up to capacity, forcing me to set out and find the 

reasons why he loved Porsches so much. Once I finally 

got my hands on one, a rambunctious little ‘87 944, 

well you can probably guess the rest! 

It is because of my Papa that I am a member of the 

PCA. What’s your reason? Contemplate, and as always . 

. . Wrench on Mavs!

All Member Party: It’s Not Just the Cars, It’s the People 

Photos courtesy of the Members as Noted 

The yearly All Members Party (AMP) 

on January 23 was an unqualified success judging by 

the turnout alone. A special thank you to the AMP 

Co-chairs – Tracy Robertson and Phyllis Gallegos – who 

did a magnificent job of putting all of these pieces together 

for our new and current members to enjoy. In 

addition, thank you to all of the Board Event Chairs 

who shared information about our club activities with 

the attendees. 

And, of course, thank you to all of our new and current 

members who joined in a fun-filled afternoon. 

Beyond great food and libations, the conversations 

heard throughout our time together were those of new 

and old friends sharing good times together. With 160+ 

Porsches in the parking lot ferrying over 250 members 

to the event, we certainly made the Hackberry Country 

Club the place to be that afternoon. 

It’s Not Just the Cars.... 

One partygoer, Bill Young, was attending his first 

AMP even though he has been a Maverick Region 

member since 2008. In addition to serving as a parking 

lot volunteer and getting to see all of the Porsches as 

they arrived, Bill shared the following comment: “What 

was so interesting to me was all the members had the 

same reason for being at the Party, and that was to have 

these great cars called Porsches brought into one location. 

In addition to being able to see friends and learn 

about all the upcoming events, I got to see what I had 

been missing all these years.” 

So, the PCA motto – “It’s not just the cars, it’s the 

people” was evident to all who attended the 2016 AMP. 

Consider this to be your early invitation to attend the 

2017 even next January. Enjoy these photos from the 

event.

Autocross Q&A: Asked and Answered at the All Member Party 

By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair 

Editor’s Note: At the All Member Party in January, 

each event chair described their events. These are the 

questions that came up about the very fun, safe, and affordable 

sport of autocrossing. 

Q: Where can I find this year’s schedule, rules, and 

classes? 

A: Log on to mav.pca.org, click Events, then select 

Autocross/Time Trial. There you’ll find the 2016 

schedule, and under the ER Classification link is a description 

of Porsche autocross classifications. 

Q: How do I register on line? 

A: You can go to the ER website, autocross.com, and 

follow the links to set up an account. They have kindly 

extended their member price to PCA members. You 

pay $35 per event, or you may preregister for all ten in 

advance for $245. 

Q: Can I register on site? 

A: Yes. Plan to be on site by 8 am. 

Q: How long is a day at an autocross? 

A: Normally 8 am to about 4 pm. There are no formal 

lunch breaks, so you may want to bring lunch with 

you. Water is provided, but you may want to bring your 

own, and in the warmer months, be sure to bring a hat 

and sunscreen! 

Q: Are all events on Sundays? 

A: Yes, PCA / ER autocross events are on Sundays, 

except for the Autocross School on Saturday, March 19. 

Q: Do I need to have my car pre-teched? 

A: No. Tech inspection is done on-site before timed 

runs begin. Your car will need to have numbers and 

your car class designation displayed to pass tech. 

Q: Do I need a helmet? 

A: Yes, but there are also loaner helmets available at 

the event if you don’t have your own. 

Q: Can I autocross my Panamera, Cayenne, or Macan? 

A: Yes. If it’s a Porsche, there is a PCA class for it! 

Q: Can I autocross my non-Porsche? 

A: Yes. Equipe Rapide has classes for almost any car. 

Some high-cg (center-of-gravity) vehicles are excluded. 

Q: Is there an Autocross School? 

A: Yes, on Saturday, March 19, followed by an autocross 

on March 20. But sign up early for the school as 

limited spots fill quickly. 

Q: Is there a Novice program? 

A: Yes, at every event. Experienced instructors are 

available to guide you through the day. 

Q: Do I have to work at these events? 

A: Yes. Autocross is normally a work / run activity. 

You must work a portion of the event in order for your 

runs to count. However, you learn a lot observing and 

discussing with others. It is a very social atmosphere. 

Q: Are the course layouts always different? 

A: Yes! No two courses are exactly alike. This makes 

it quite exciting! 

Q: How many timed runs will I get? 

A: Normally six, but sometimes more, depending on 

how many drivers turn out. 

Q: Is it true that autocross will help me learn car 

control that will help at DE? 

A: Absolutely! 

Q: Are there other autocross clubs in the area? 

A: Yes. All told, there are about 33 autocross events 

in North Texas from February to November. Links to 

the other clubs are on the ER website, autocross.com. 

Q: Are there trophies, awards and prizes? 

A: Yes, and they are awarded at each event. There 

are even performance-indexed cash awards. There is 

also a year-end awards banquet.

Intro to Rallying: Or, Who Wrote These #@*! Directions? 

By Don Sebert and George Luxbacher, Region Rally Co-Chairs 

Rallying. The word probably 

brings to mind buzzing down 

the road in a convertible, scarf 

flying in the wind, based on Hollywood 

concepts like “The Great 

Race” (1965) or “Cannonball Run” 

(1981). While we may be somewhat 

biased (being the Maverick 

Region Rallymeisters), our rallying 

is a great chance to combine a love 

of Porsches, some great scenic driving 

on rural roads (typically at legal 

speeds!) and a little bit of an intellectual 

challenge. Rallying is similar 

to a card, computer, or board game 

with roads representing the playing 

field in motion. Sound interesting? 

Read on! 

Basically, while driving on public 

roads at legal speeds, the team (consisting 

of a Driver and a Navigator) 

interpret and execute instructions 

we provide in accordance with a set 

of rules (the General Instructions) 

that define the terms. The Navigator 

is critical – it is impossible for 

a Driver to drive, read instructions 

and make required observations 

without help – and passengers are 

permitted, although you may find 

they don’t improve your score (possibly 

related to the comfort factor 

of being folded in the back seat 

of a 911 on curvy roads for a few 

hours). While the traditional rally 

is a TSD (Time-Speed-Distance) 

event, where the key is to correctly 

execute the instructions and arrive 

at fixed checkpoints at the proper 

time, we instead have what we think 

is a lot more fun: gimmick rallies. 

In a gimmick rally, precise timing 

and speed don’t matter. Instead, as 

long as you can follow the instructions, 

the key is the gimmick. Gimmicks 

we have used include photos 

that have to be placed in the correct 

order as observed along the 

route, and cryptic questions related 

to signage encountered along 


the route. Granted, the pictures 

required sharp powers of observation 

and were of things that could 

easily be overlooked; the questions 

required some interpretation of 

the rallymeisters’ states of mind 

and the creative answers of the participants 

challenged the scoring . . 

. but the goal was fun and we had a 

lot of that! 

While the #@*! directions might 

at first glance seem complicated, 

definitions are fairly straightforward. 

While “Right”, “Left” and 

“ASAP” (As Straight as Possible) 

are fairly self-explanatory, terms 

such as “RIP” (“Reads in Part”) or 

“FLIR” (“Follow the Lined Road,” 

just like Dorothy and the yellowbrick 

road) take more thought and 

observation. While the Rallymeisters 

are not trying to trick you with 

the directions, they also expect you 

to follow the rules; do that, and the 

drive should be relatively painless! 

We always have some issues that 

crop up: in addition to the four or 

five times we pre-drive the route in 

preparation, one of us drives the 

route the morning of the rally to 

look for changes. Last spring, some 

of our rally route was flooded up 

until the evening before, and we 

had an alternate route on higher 

roads as a back-up. Our fall rally was 

redirected by a Farmers Market in 

Celina that didn’t set up until midmorning 

as the rally participants 

arrived! Murphy’s Law at work. 

In 2015, we held two gimmick 

rallies, one with photos and one 

with questions – the question rally 

was run at Halloween and we invited 

participants to dress in costume. 

If you saw the photos in Slipstream, 

the turnout exceeded our expectations, 

unleashing witches, vampires, 

the Blues Brothers, and all sorts of 

scary (and some cute) creatures 

on the roads in Collin and Denton 

Counties, in addition to a group of 

beautiful cars; this was our Drive to 

the Spirits where we finished up at 

Witherspoon Distillery. By popular 

demand, we plan to have another 

costume rally at Halloween this 

year, Preliminary plans will tie that 

into graveyard visits, so watch Slipsteam 

for further details. 

Our first rally this year will be on 

Saturday, April 16. While plans are 

still fluid, be prepared for Easter 

Eggs (meaning surprises hidden in 

video games – for us, some form of 

puzzles)! Then, in addition to our 

Halloween rally, we are going to try 

some experiments: possibly a Stick 

rally, in which you are provided a 

map that looks like a stick with 

crosslines representing every intersection; 

a Hare & Hound, where 

the correct route and intersections 

are marked with lime dust at critical 

points on the road; and maybe 

even a TSD, which, if we do that, 

will be an easy introductory event – 

we promise! If you have done other 

gimmick rallies, please give us your 

feedback as to what you would like! 

Don’t worry if you have not rallied 

before! We have great fun and, 

while we issue first, second and 

third place awards, we also have the 

traditional and prestigious DLBF 

award: Dead Last But Finished! In 

2015 we had a great turnout for 

both our rallies and, based on the 

feedback, everyone had a great 

time. If you have that competitive 

spirit but don’t quite want to do DE 

or Autocross, we have the solution 

for you! 

Rallying is similar 

to a card, computer, 

or board game with 

roads representing 

the playing field 

in motion.

Meet your Rallymeisters 

George Luxbacher 

When we lived in Kentucky, Dee and I tried our 

hand at a TSD (Time-Speed-Distance) rally sponsored 

by the SCCA and the Bluegrass Region of PCA. In a 

TSD, the key is to correctly execute the somewhat 

cryptic instructions and, driving at designated speeds 

and allocating for stops and slowdowns, arrive at fixed 

checkpoints at exactly the right time, neither too late 

nor too early. With Dee navigating and me driving, we 

managed to come in dead last, with our marriage in tatters, 

beaten even by a couple that included a pregnant 

woman, and we constantly saw them driving off course 

for rest room stops. After that experience, Dee drove 

and I did not give up; rather we reversed roles, finding 

that Dee was much better at driving consistently and I 

was better at interpreting the directions (navigating). 

Low and behold, not only did our marriage stay secure, 

we significantly improved our TSD results (although 

we still had a lot of anxiety on rally day!). 

Since moving to Texas we discovered a different type 

of rallying that the Maverick Region offered – the gimmick 

rallies. After running the first, we were hooked 

and now run the gimmick rallies at the Porsche Parade 

as well. Less anxiety, a great drive on fabulous roads 

and lots of fun – who could ask for more? 

Don Sebert 

Forrest Gump’s Mama said that Rallies are like a box 

of chocolates -- you never know what you’ll get. (I think 

that’s a close quote.) 

Being involved with the Kansas City Region for 

many years, I experienced many types of drives, including 

various Rally types, TSD, Gimmick, etc. I learned 

early on that in order to continue my marriage, I better 

never ask my wife to navigate a TSD Rally. Even trying 

to bribe my children into substituting for their Mother 

was received with laughter and their quick disappearance. 

So, I decided when moving to Dallas and joining 

Maverick Region, I would never do a TSD Rally. With 

that said, it doesn’t mean we wouldn’t do a TSD, if the 

demand were there and we have marriage counselors 

on site. 

Now that I’ve become the 2000-year-old man, I’ve 

learned it’s a lot more fun doing what makes us happy. 

So, happy/fun Gimmick Rallies are on the top of the 

list, with enough challenges to make it interesting.

of fun.” COME JOIN US!

A History of Enthusiasm: Linda Bambina 

By Wendy Shoffit 

Photos by Linda Bambina and Wendy Shoffit 

If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting 

Linda Bambina, one of the first things you might 

notice about her is the way she seems to sparkle. She 

smiles through her eyes, conveying the joy in her heart. 

She has an effervescent personality that matches. She 

has been known by several names in the club since she 

joined with her husband, Alan, in 1981. First Lady, 

Madam Secretary, Tigger, Spark Plug, Watch/Worker 

B*tch, and Slipstream Wrangler, but I’ll get to those. 

Born and raised in West Texas, she had a fun-loving 

mother who encouraged her creativity. She used that 

upbringing and an incessant thirst for creativity to teach 

for 39 years in the Carrollton/Farmers Branch School 

District. From Special Education to Gifted and Talented 

(a different kind of Special Ed) to Texas History 

and finally the library, she used her amazing creative 

talents to engage her students and keep them wanting 

to learn. She herself never quit learning, completing 

TWO Masters Degrees and multiple certifications during 

her tenure. Although she was busy with her career, 

she found a way to make time for the Porsche Club. 

Within a year of joining, she was asked to be the Advertising 

Chair by Region President Joan Gibbs, which 

she did for several years before becoming the Autocross 

Watch B*tch. While you might find that insulting, 

she never did! Never one to rest on her laurels, she 

moved on to be the Worker B*tch, helping organize 

the autocross events. She not only worked the events, 

but she was an active participant, driving the wheels off 

of Alan’s 911, even though many women weren’t doing 

that at the time. Don’t ask her HOW she got the fast 

times she did. She couldn’t tell you -- for her it was just 

a feeling. Talk about seat-of-the-pants racing! She has 

plenty of trophies to prove that her method worked! 

Over the years, she continued to serve the local region 

(Secretary 1985, First Lady 1986-87, and co-VP with 

Alan in 1991-92), she also found a love of the Porsche 

Parade and wanted to help out there. Her first Parade 

was in 1983, and just four short years later she served 

as Registrar for the 1987 Parade, held in D/FW. It was 

Mike Robbins, Linda, and Peter Porsche 

at the Salt Lake City Parade 

the first time 

that computers 

were really used 

for that event. 

Have her tell you 

stories about her 

computer tutor, 

Charlie Davis 

sometime! 

Back then local regions even had to “bid” for the 

chance to host a Parade. Linda again used her creative 

background and love of photography to help Charlie 

and Teri create fabulous presentations until D/FW 

won the bid. That was no small feat, mind you -- they 

were pitching a Parade headquartered at DFW Airport! 

Her love of Parades continued through the years when 

she was Art Show Chair at the 1997 San Antonio Parade 

(finally involving the kids at Parade) and in 2004 in 

Fort Worth as the “Entertainment” 

Chair. Her 

enthusiasm and love of 

costuming has showed 

up many times, dressing 

like Dolly Parton, Dale 

Evans, Miss Piggy, and 

for her beloved “Costume 

Concours.” All this 

to make sure everyone is 

having a good time. She 

ropes in those around 

her to have fun with her. 

Linda and her Porsche 

“vest” made from an upside 

down pair of blue jeans 

Linda as Miss Piggy 

Hans-Peter Porsche can tell some tales of his Linda 

encounters: dressing as Roy Rogers and, believe it or 

not, going to Wet ‘N Wild and sliding down the infamous 

waterslide named Der Stuka. I think Linda can 

convince just about anyone to do just about anything. 

Just ask Alan! 

Over the years she has 

helped put on many Round- 

Up and getaway weekends, 

and more for fun. While 

she was co-VP, she was the 

“Spark Plug” social chair, 

arranging monthly dinners 

complete with programs 

that members would be interested 

in. But that’s not 

all she’s been involved with! 

She has a heart of pure gold. 

Although she took a severalyear 

hiatus from volunteering 

for everything to focus 

a little more on her own 

studies and work, in 2010 

President Mike Brodigan 

implored her for help with the Hope Shelter. The region 

was in the middle of helping build them a new 

facility, which needed her special talents. Not only 

did we finally build a new house, a few years later they 

needed a safe backyard playground for the kids. Enter 


Linda along with Clara Lewis in 

tandem with the Hope Rock 

Linda once again, who spent countless 

hours planning, preparing, 

and prodding others to help out. 

Through her organizing, the project 

was completed with all money 

coming from individual donors. 

Her boundless energy earned her 

the name “Tigger” from Mike. 

But wait . . . there’s more! A 

newly energized and retired Linda 

was ready to help again with the 

club. After the Hope Shelter projects 

were completed, it was time 

for our Region’s 50th Anniversary! 

She had a huge part to 

play in the festivities, 

most substantially with 

the “Family Portrait.” 

The goal was to have 

each year of the Maverick 

Region’s existence 

represented, not just 

with any random car, 

but cars belonging to 

people who have contributed 

to the success 

of our region. After 

hours and hours on 

the phone and email 

arranging it all, Mission 

Accomplished! The last 

Linda enjoying herself on 

the slide in the backyard 

of the Hope Shelter 

few years, she has focused her energies 

on helping with Slipstream as 

a PR chair and Content Wrangler. 

She has written numerous articles 

about garages, our people, and our 

advertisers to make everyone feel 

included. I’m sure you have enjoyed 

her pieces. 

Through her many years of service 

to the club, Linda 

has earned our region’s 

highest honor, the Selcer 

Award, twice! She 

probably should have 

earned it more than 

that, but I don’t know 

of anyone who can 

catch up to her to give 

her another one! 

Thank you, Linda, for 

your continued help to 

make this club great. I 

look forward to the 

next time you return 

from a hiatus. Look out 

PCA!

Wine and Cheese but No Mustard: March Drive Preview 

By Tom Martin, Sunday Drive Chair 

Ah, spring. That time of year when a young 

man’s fancy turns to the ladies, and a mature man’s fancy 

turns to . . . getting the Porsche out of hibernation and 

back on the road for the driving season! And with spring 

just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about 

where and when to purge the winter cobwebs from your 

Porsche. 

Consider the inaugural event of the 2016 Sunday 

Drive Program: “Would You Have Any Grey Poupon?” 

– The Mitas Hill Vineyard Tour. The Drive will be held 

later this month on Sunday, March 20. The starting 

point is the parking lot of Fry’s Electronics, located at 

700 East Plano Parkway in Plano. Start time is 1:00 pm, 

so plan to get there a little early to sign up and attend 

the Drivers’ Briefing. 

The route is a breezy 62.1-mile jaunt (exactly 100 km, 

in keeping with the Continental theme). Once out of 

the confines of the urban sprawl, the route reverts to the 

solitude of obscure roads that lead to bucolic places like 

the Mitas Hill Vineyard. 

Upon arrival at the Vineyard, Mavericks can elect to 

take a tour of the vineyard, conducted on a farm wagon 

with bench seats, pulled by the grounds’ tractor. Vineyard 

tours take about 1.5 hours. Another option is to 

indulge in a wine tasting, where a flight of four wines can 

be enjoyed. One could even go “full wine and cheese” 

with the house’s “Little Slice of Heaven,” a food and wine 

pairing flight. The Vineyard also houses a full restaurant 

for fine dining. The menu includes exotic Wagyu beef 

steaks, as well as gourmet Neapolitan pizzas wood fired 

in a brick oven. 

Of course, attendees are not required to participate

ROLEX 24 at Daytona: Rookie Finishes Second 

Courtesy of de Boulle Motorsports 

Nick Boulle’s debut at 

the 54th Annual ROLEX 24 Hours 

of Daytona resulted in a secondplace 

finish in the Prototype Challenge 

(PC) Class. Nick Boulle, the 

26-year-old son of Denis and Karen 

Boulle — of de Boulle, an independent 

jewelry salon in Dallas and 

now Houston— was the first retail 

Nick Boulle hoisting the second 

place trophy 

jeweler which carries Rolex to compete 

in the demanding 24-hour 

sports car race. 

The race requires four-driver 

teams. Rounding out the team was 

returning PR1 driver Tom Kimber- 

Smith, Robert Alon and Jose Gutierrez. 

The team raced in the Le 

Mans Prototype Challenge car. The 

car featured an open-cockpit and 

technology such as a carbon fiber 

chassis, carbon brakes and sequential 

gearbox. Weighing in at 1990 

pounds, the PC car reached top 

speeds of around 190 mph during 

the 24-hour event. 

The race consisted of 24 hours 

of straight racing waged on the 

legendary Daytona International 

Speedway. It’s the first major auto 

race of the year, and it brings out 

some of sport’s biggest names. The 

team completed 698 laps and 25 

pits around the 3.56 mile circuit. 

Each driver spent about six hours 

crammed into the car whizzing 

around the track. 

Boulle was also the PC class leader 

during the exciting race. “Half 

way through the race (12 hours) 

we were still first, but we had mechanical 

issues and lost 12 laps 

so we ended up in fourth during 

the night,” said Boulle. The team 

moved back into second place. If 

not for a faulty $14 part, the team 

likely would have won. 

Boulle, who had stepped away 

from racing for a few years to pursue 

social media business and cycling 

ventures, never missed a beat 

when it was time for him to take 

over driver duties at the Rolex 24. 

With his dad’s love for cars, Nick 

was drawn to motorsports and began 

racing go-karts at age 12. By the 

time he was 20 years old studying 

at Southern Methodist University, 

Boulle had produced top results in 

national events and was racing as 

a Volkswagen Junior Driver in addition 

to coaching drivers in karts 

and racecars. “I have always loved 

motorsports,” he says, “and racing 

in the Rolex 24 has turned a dream 

into reality.” 

Nick and his father Denis are 

long time Maverick members. 


Concours d’Elegance: Literally, “Competition of Elegance” 

By Andy Kay, Region Concours Chair 

A Concours d’Elegance is an assembly of 

automobiles in competition, based on their relative 

merits in coachwork, design, finish, and appointments. 

In other words: how good do they look? 

There are several different formats. “Show and 

Shine” or “People’s Choice” events are judged by the 

spectators and other competitors. There are no formal 

judges, score sheets, or stopwatches involved. The spectators 

and competitors vote for their favorite entries, 

and whichever cars earn the most votes win. 

“Top Only” or “Street” events employ judges to evaluate 

the condition of the cars, but they are not restricted 

to a time limit. They judge only the “top” of the cars, in 

other words, only the portions of the car that you can 

see from above, which includes mainly the condition of 

the bodywork, wheels and tires, and the interior. 

“Touring” category is a judged and timed event 

in which each car begins with a perfect score of 180 

points, with points being deducted for imperfections 

and flaws. Judged areas include storage areas in addition 

to those judged in “Street.” 

“Full” Concours competition is the highest category, 

and the most serious; competitors can spend months 

preparing their cars, and often trailer them to the 

event. Judging is allowed for all areas of the car, including 

engine compartments, undercarriages, and wheel 

wells, in addition to the aforementioned areas. The 

Porsche Parade Concours includes Street, Touring, 

and Full categories. 

In Maverick events, cars are judged in eleven distinct 

classes: 

We need your help! If you are interested in judging, 

registration, or timekeeping, please let us know at 

concours@mavpca.org. 

We look forward to seeing you at the next event!

Maverick Monthly Social: Don’t Miss the Fun Each Month! 

By Brenda Dranow, Region Wrangler 

Every month, club members get a chance 

to get together and enjoy each other’s company, talk 

about Porsches and meet new people with the same 

passion - Porsches. These Monthly Socials happen every 

third Thursday of the month with the first one this year 

on February 18th at the French restaurant Lavendou 

in Dallas to celebrate a club event around Valentine’s 

Day. Normally, the hours for the Monthly Social start at 

6:00pm and are slated to end around 9:00pm. Most of 

the time, everyone is having such a good time, they stay 

longer and the end time is at your own discretion. You 

get to meet up with new friends you’ve made from the 

last event, and then meet newly joined members. You 

never find anyone not having a good time. 

The next Monthly Social will be held on Thursday, 

March 17th at Love & War in Texas near Grapevine 

Mills mall. Fun was had by all last year with a live band 

and dancing later in the evening. At this time, the locations 

for April and beyond are still being determined. 

Look in your monthly Slipstream for the upcoming 

month’s social event. Some months you must RSVP 

because of limited space while on most you can just 

mark your calendar and show up. The times are just 

a suggestion, so if you can’t make dinner, then come 

at anytime and enjoy the company and a few cocktails. 

These Monthly Socials are informal with no seating assignment 

allowing you to mix and mingle throughout 

the evening. 

Greg and I joined the Maverick Porsche Club in 

October, 2014. We didn’t know what to expect at our 

first Monthly Social event, but the minute we arrived 

Stephanie made us feel welcomed and introduced us 

to everyone. We all know how it is to walk into a sea 

of people not knowing anyone and making that first 

introduction can be hard, but Stephanie and the other 

members won’t give you a chance to feel any other way 

but welcomed. You will definitely leave with a smile 

and glad you came to the event. Greg and I have made 

some great friends from the club, and some of them 

we have met at these Social Events (others at monthly 

drives, etc.). 

As for the other perks of coming to a Monthly Social, 

you get to see a parking lot filled with every type of 

Porsche you can imagine. So, for many of the reasons 

you joined the club, you will find several of them in one 

evening at a Monthly Social. Hope to see you there!

The Year of the Dragon: Enter the Boxster 

By Tom Martin 

Photo by the Author 

The year was 1992. Recently remarried in the spring, 

my wife Jan and I were starting a new life together, literally 

from scratch, in North Texas. After a day of job 

interviews, I stopped by the now defunct Steak & Ale 

restaurant in Plano for a quick 5 o’clock gin and tonic. 

The young bartender who served me was very enthusiastic 

about an article he had just read in one of the 

mainstream auto enthusiast magazines. 

He inched the magazine towards me, which was 

opened to a picture of an incredibly sensual looking twoseater 

sports car. It almost appeared like silvery molten 

metal was poured over its spartan frame. The rumor mill 

was rife with stories of a brand new Porsche, one that was 

a complete departure from the venerable 911. This was 

that car: the Porsche Boxster. 

I gazed longingly at the artist’s sketch of the proposed 

Porsche Boxster concept car. It was a deliberate throwback 

to the revered Porsche 550 Spyder of yore, with a 

targeted MSRP of $29,995. It may as well have been all 

the money in the world at the time; at this point in our 

lives there was no way we would be able to justify buying 

it, let alone affording it. The image of the Boxster 

became but a fading image in the back of my mind. 

The Boxster was a huge success right at the onset. 

Initial production allocations sold out quickly. Stuttgart 

couldn’t handle the demand, so Porsche farmed the 

project out to the Valmet Automotive facility in Uusikaupunki, 

Finland. Sharing a basic platform with the 

next generation 911 (996), the Boxster essentially saved 

Porsche from financial ruin. 

In the ensuing years, I enjoyed long-term relationships 

with three Nissan 240SX sport coupes, in both S13 

and S14 configuration. They were all wonderful, pure 

kinesthetic driving machines. And ultra-reliable, too. 

Occasionally I would spot a Boxster on the road, and 

my mind would drift back to the artist’s sketch of the 

concept car. On my daily commute home, when traffic 

on 635 was backed up (usually on days ending in the 

letter “y”), I would take Northaven Road travelling east. 

For a short time there was a pristine 

Arctic Silver Boxster parked outside 

a semi-affluent residence with a “For 

Sale” sign on it. Another time, I came 

upon the 2008 orange Special Edition 

model on the highway and gave 

the driver a huge “thumbs up”. 

The fading image of the Boxster 

concept car catapulted to the forefront 

of my mind when my retirement 

loomed on the horizon. I was 

Tom’s Boxster - “Scarlett” 

rounding third and heading for home. Being empty 

nesters, owning a lithe two seater was too hard to resist. 

At least that’s what I told my wife. In actuality, I had 

owned sports cars most of my life, and was now itching 

to get back into that lifestyle. 

From previous racing experience, I knew that a midengine 

layout provided the best setup for optimum handling. 

Ultimate speed was not important. A lightweight, 

small-displacement, mid-engine sports car would prove 

to be most nimble for real world driving, especially the 

occasional blast on winding backroads. 

There was a tiny handful of modern day cars to 

choose from: the Boxster, the MR2, and the exotics. The 

exotics were out, so it was down to the Boxster and the 

MR2. I drove multiple examples of each. The MR2 was 

light, extremely nimble, yet woefully underpowered. 

It reminded me of my old 914. It also had a storage 

compartment that would barely accommodate a ruddy 

English schoolboy’s lunch kit. The Boxster, while a bit 

heavier, was more refined, but not to the point where 

the kinesthetics were lost on the driver. It also had two, 

count ‘em two, trunks. Weekend travel bliss. 

I opted for the Boxster, more so for practicality than 

loyalty to the marque. I allowed myself a full year to find 

a suitable example that my wife and I would both appreciate. 

Five months later, after kissing a lot of toads, 

we came upon a beautiful Arena Red example, quite by 

chance. I just happened to be checking Craigslist when 

the owner’s ad posted. I called immediately and made 

an appointment to view the car. The owner had basically 

zeroed out the drivetrain, with a new water pump, 

AOS, serpentine belt, and coolant expansion tank. The 

dreaded IMS issue was addressed with a new IMS bearing. 

All fluids were recently refreshed, including the 

gearbox oil. Records substantiating all maintenance 

were provided. After a test drive with my wife Jan, she 

was pleading with me to buy the car. So I did, right then 

and there. We came back the next day with cash in hand 

and completed the transaction. 

Shortly afterwards, we joined the 

PCA and were enlisted in the Maverick 

Region. It’s hard to believe that 

after almost 40 years of Porsche ownership, 

we finally joined the PCA. 

The experience since then has been 

priceless; we have participated in and 

enjoyed many great events, and we 

especially appreciate the friendship 

of some truly delightful and interesting 

people.

Around the Bend... 

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor 

“A Porsche is not an Everyday Sports Car. 

It is a Sports Car for Everyday.” This truism greeted 

every visitor to the “Porsche Zentrum” located above 

the front straight at Laguna Seca during Rennsport Reunion 

V. It reminds me, as it should remind you, that 

the true joy of owning a Porsche vehicle happens when 

you drive it as often as possible. 

There is nothing more exciting to a Maverick member 

than seeing a Porsche on the road to anywhere - the 

grocery store, coffee shop, one of our many toll roads, 

or even to a club event. These engineering marvels 

from Germany were designed to be “driven hard and 

put away wet”, as the saying goes. 

I certainly understand the time we all put into keeping 

our club rides clean and polished to a magnificent 

lustre means we don’t want to repeat the effort. Remember 

that dust, dirt, the occasional piece of gravel, 

and even a rain drop or two, were all anticipated by 

the Porsche engineers as they designed and built these 

amazing machines. You’re actually creating the future 

patina of your vehicle each time you drive it! 

So, the next time you decide to keep your Porsche 

in the garage because it’s too clean to drive, remind 

yourself that it is a sports car for everyday 

and needs regular exercise rain or shine. The 

smile on your face that you get while driving 

it will more than replace any additional time 

needed to clean your vehicle when you return. 

I’m pleased to welcome two new members to our 

club Board this month. Cindy Bliss has agreed to be our 

Advertising Chair. She will be responsible for communicating 

with our advertisers in Slipstream and making 

certain that everyone benefits from their sponsorship. 

If you have any questions regarding our advertising 

program, you can contact Cindy at ads@mavpca.org. 

By the way, I hope you mention that you saw their ads 

in Slipstream each time you visit or contact one of our 

advertisers. 

In addition, Chris Flaugh has volunteered to be our 

Goodie Store Chair. A great way to show your Maverick 

pride is to wear items specifically designed with our 

club logo. Check out the offerings via the Goodie Store 

link on our web site. If you find an item in the PCA web 

store that you would like to be in our own store, contact 

Chris at goodiestore@mavpca.org. Also, if you need a 

club name badge, you can contact Chris at nametags@ 

mavpca.org and he will assist you in that order. 

Finally, in our newest Slipstream initiative - Mav Photos 

of the Month - the focus for this month was wheels. 

Thanks to our members for submitting these great 

photos shown below. 

For the April issue, our focus is interior/ 

upholstery, so send your photo submissions to 

editor@mavpca.org or post them on our 

Maverick Region Porsche Club of America 

Facebook group page by March 10.
