Join the fun <strong>May</strong> 12 at<br />

“More Than<br />

<strong>May</strong> at <strong>May</strong>os!”<br />

The <strong>May</strong> at <strong>May</strong>os BBQ and the calendar item "Tour, Rally & Dinner” have metamorphosed<br />

into a three-part special event on <strong>May</strong> 12th. You are invited to participate in any or all<br />

activities, so come on out and join in the fun!<br />

Part I: Tour the Sturgeon Vehicle Collection - 4:00 p.m.<br />

Meet at Sturgeon Cars located at 4950 Eden Rd, off Carson and Hwy 121 (see<br />

map at right) from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. for a chance to see 60+ special interest<br />

cars, including a 1946 VW, a Dino, and VW Fire Truck. Bill Dugan, caretaker for<br />

these cars owned by Ron Sturgeon, will be on hand to answer questions. No<br />

reservation is required and parking is available on site. The tour will end in plenty<br />

of time to caravan or rally the 10+ miles to the <strong>May</strong> at <strong>May</strong>o's event.<br />

Part II: Poker Run Rally to Dinner - 5:30 p.m.<br />

Sturgeon Cars 4950 Eden Rd<br />

(Look for sign: “RDS Investments”)<br />

Joe McGlohen will get us from the Sturgeon Collection to Ed <strong>May</strong>o's shop in time for dinner. This miniature<br />

rally will be a super-easy, just-for-fun Poker Run. No lengthy rules to read, no route-following priorities<br />

to interpret. Just follow the simple directions, stop at checkpoint signs and draw a card. Best poker<br />

hand gets to keep some slightly used cards. First car departs from Sturgeon's about 5:30 p.m. RSVP not<br />

required, but would be appreciated so we'll know how many decks of cards to buy. Rally reservations will be<br />

tallied, so contact Teri Davis at 940-682-4719 or email chuxter@rennlist.com.<br />

Part III: <strong>May</strong> at <strong>May</strong>o's - 6:30 p.m.<br />

Join us for technical enlightenment, barbecue, and camaraderie at <strong>May</strong>o Performance (see map page 5). As<br />

a special treat, Bill Dugan has arranged to have some very interesting educational/technical toys on display<br />

at <strong>May</strong>o's Performance. These gadgets, part of the Sturgeon Collection, include cutaway models of a transmission<br />

and other automotive systems. Watching the moving parts can be both instructive and interesting.<br />

Ed <strong>May</strong>o, Bill Dugan and other technical types will be on hand to answer questions.<br />

RSVP IS REQUIRED FOR THE BARBECUE DINNER. Make reservations with<br />

Mimi or Carey Spreen at 972-420-9953 or the.spreens@gateway.net by Friday,<br />

<strong>May</strong> 11 to ensure a meal ticket and a good spot in the serving line. Those who arrive<br />

without an RSVP are welcome to join the line after those who have meal tickets.<br />

Meal Tickets: $15.00 per person. The menu includes barbecue and the traditional<br />

trimmings. Beer and soft drinks are included in the price.<br />

We'll look forward to seeing you there. If you can't make it for every event, come to the ones you can.<br />

If you are going directly to <strong>May</strong>o Performance, plan to arrive about 6:30 p.m.<br />

Much appreciation goes out to the coordinators of this event:<br />

Ron Sturgeon, Ed and Jan <strong>May</strong>o, Carl and Fran Ussery,<br />

Bill Dugan, and Joe McGlohen.<br />

Prez Says:<br />

by James Shoffit, Maverick Region President<br />

Boy am I glad <strong>May</strong> is almost here. Finally somewhat<br />

of a "slow" month on the calendar! There are a<br />

few Driver’s Ed events that can be attended, and the<br />

ever-popular <strong>May</strong> at <strong>May</strong>o’s will include a special treat<br />

for those interested in seeing some special cars! (See<br />

the ad on page 2 for details).<br />

I had an interesting adventure back in March.<br />

Wendy's birthday was coming up the same weekend as<br />

the Club Race down at Texas World Speedway south of College Station. I<br />

of course wanted to spend time with my wife, but since she wanted to have<br />

a "girl's night out" complete with a slumber party, it was decided that I<br />

should take Jasmine down to College Station with me to watch the Club<br />

Race. And if any of you know Jasmine, you know how much she likes to<br />

see the race cars. So on Saturday morning I got us both packed into the C4<br />

Cab and away we went.<br />

The first 200 miles (out of 200 miles) were all steady downpour. It<br />

was raining so hard at one point, I got passed by a guy riding a Jet Ski in<br />

the drainage ditch! (Ok, not really, but I thought it made a good story).<br />

But the story of the trip was rain rain rain. We finally got there just as the<br />

rain was clearing up and we got to see the last bit of racing on Saturday<br />

evening (mainly because the races were running late due to all the rain!).<br />

As we walked around the paddock, I saw quite an array of cars from<br />

an old BMW 2002 all the way to the newest 996 race cars. But the most<br />

amazing two cars (which I am sure some of you have heard about many<br />

times already) were the vintage 906 and 908 that were not just museum<br />

pieces, but actively driving and racing! It was so great to see those cars in<br />

motion and being driven like their creators intended.<br />

A hearty dinner had Jasmine and I longing for sleep, but it was not<br />

to come soon (for me at least Jasmine can sleep through the loudest thunderstorms).<br />

We inadvertently booked a room on the same floor as the UT<br />

swim team, which had just won a swim meet Saturday evening. They had<br />

quite a bit of celebrating to do before they could settle down for the night!<br />

But they quieted down before 11, so I still got plenty of sleep and since we<br />

had no responsibilities at the club race (we were just spectators - a rare<br />

occurrence!) we could sleep in as long as we liked.<br />

The next morning I got to see at least the start of the enduro where<br />

so many of my friends were driving. It was really special getting to see the<br />

first races of several newcomers to club racing. Jasmine and I left rather<br />

early as we had both seen quite a bit of racing, talked to hundreds of people,<br />

and were not looking forward to the drive home. It was best to go<br />

ahead and get on the road. My traveling companion was a perfect angel<br />

for the entire weekend (quite an accomplishment for a 4-year-old with red<br />

hair) and I think the only way I could have had more fun would have been<br />

if I were driving with my friends. Someday soon, perhaps.<br />

If you have never been to a club race, or any of our driving events,<br />

you should make the effort to at least come out and watch. Seeing all the<br />

beautiful cars is always a spectacle, and the people are more wonderful<br />

than the cars. So come on out, and join the fun!<br />

Pam’s Page<br />

by Pam Abdalla, <strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor<br />

You know summer’s just about here when<br />

the calendar fills with eating activities, and<br />

there sure are plenty to go around in the next<br />

few months!<br />

First, there’s the Happy Hour at The Oasis<br />

Restaurant at Joe Pool Lake on <strong>May</strong> 3rd, then<br />

a barbeque at <strong>May</strong>o Performance on the 12th,<br />

and then yet another Happy Hour at Champps<br />

Americana in Addison on the 17th.<br />

Coming up in June, there’s a Father’s Day picnic on the<br />

17th, which is sure to have more than enough food to go<br />

around as everyone is to bring a side dish.<br />

Finally, let’s not forget the lunches at Good Eats in Addison<br />

and Plano twice each month, as well as the free pizza and beverages<br />

and other goodies at the Shoffit’s during the monthly<br />

board meetings!<br />

Even if you’re not into autocrossing,<br />

you can’t tell me you’re not into eating!<br />

So come on out and have a great time<br />

with your fellow Porsche enthusiasts.<br />

Go ahead and stuff your face a little.<br />

We don’t mind.<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Andy Mears, Maverick Region Secretary<br />

The April Bored, oops, I mean Board<br />

meeting tried to get started at 7:10 and was<br />

finally restarted at 7:13 when everyone finally<br />

agreed to let James have the floor. This<br />

month's meeting was again at the child<br />

friendly and pizza abundant home of James<br />

and Wendy Shoffit.<br />

First issue up for discussion was the<br />

repair of the radios that the club uses for<br />

driving events. A motion was passed to purchase new batteries<br />

for each radio and repair units that are unusable.<br />

Next, discussion continued regarding the purchase of<br />

new flag sets for use at Club Racing events. This topic was<br />

tabled until Joe McGlohen could obtain additional quotes to<br />

be presented to the board for future discussion. It was followed<br />

by a related discussion regarding the club purchasing a set<br />

of vehicle scales for use by club members as well as the possibility<br />

of rental to individuals or other clubs to defray the cost.<br />

The topic was tabled as well until more details concerning<br />

cost and features could be presented to the board.<br />

Next, James wanted to make sure that the board members<br />

were aware of the fact that <strong>Slipstream</strong> is subsidized by<br />

the club and that it does not profit or even break-even. It was<br />

agreed that the quality of the newsletter far exceeds the cost<br />

that the club incurs as well as the desire to maintain the<br />

existing layout. There was much discussion regarding raising<br />

advertising rates as well as how to reduce cost. The issue was<br />

tabled.<br />

On a more exciting note, Kevin Hardison and Wendy<br />

reported on another successful driving school that occurred<br />

the weekend of March 31 and April 1. Despite the limited<br />

port-a-potty capacity, everyone had a great time and it<br />

appears hopeful for more participation by the school<br />

attendees at the other driving events this year.<br />

The Spreen's reported on upcoming events including<br />

<strong>May</strong> at <strong>May</strong>o's which will be on Saturday <strong>May</strong> 12, and planning<br />

for the location and date of next year's "New Member<br />

Party" is in progress.<br />

Brian Scudder gave an update on the October Club Race.<br />

Plans are for a three-day event with a Friday DE and racing<br />

on Saturday and Sunday. Watch for the half page ad in<br />

Panorama in <strong>May</strong>.<br />

The One Lap of DFW event is getting finalized and looks<br />

like around 20 - 25 car clubs have expressed interest in participating.<br />

Check the web site for all the latest details<br />

(www.pca.org/mav).<br />

Keith Olcha reported on the June Drivers’ Education<br />

(DE) event and is expecting the rates to be around $180-185<br />

per driver for the two day event.<br />

Kay Leibel generously donated to the club two crystal<br />

trophies that may be used for event trophies. Thank you,<br />

Kay.<br />

Finally, a last minute motion was passed to try and<br />

secure usage of the Naval Air Station for a driving event.<br />

With all business completed the meeting was brought to<br />

close at 9:00.<br />

Maverick Region PCA board<br />

meetings are held once a month.<br />

The board meetings are open to all<br />

PCA members and your suggestions<br />

and opinions are welcome . . .<br />

. . . and there’s FREE Pizza!!!<br />

1 st Annual<br />

One Lap of D/FW<br />

Charity Drive<br />

Saturday, June 2, <strong>2001</strong><br />

Saturday, June 2, <strong>2001</strong>, the Porsche Club of America/Maverick Region invites you to participate in an All Metroplex<br />

Special Car Club event that will be a day long tour (8-5) around the D/FW area to benefit two lesser known local<br />

charity organizations that do not receive as much attention or help as other local charity groups: Familiar Footsteps<br />

is a home for mentally disabled adults and the Hope Shelter is a center for physically and mentally abused women<br />

and children. They are both performing great services for our community and deserve recognition and help. The<br />

Charity ONE LAP of D/FW hopes to bring these car clubs together to show, parade and visit with other people who<br />

have a passion about their vehicle marque and to generally have fun.<br />

We’re asking that each Car Club organization publish information about this Charity Drive in their newsletter<br />

and help promote the event. Up to date specific information on the starting location and various driving points and<br />

activities at each point can be viewed on the One Lap Link on the Maverick Region’s website: www.pca.org/mav .<br />

Our event chair is Nelson Hodges, nhodges@HBArchs.com or (w) 817-602-9280 and our Registrar is Linda<br />

Bambina, bina@airmail.net or (w) 972-662-4116. Please pre-register by Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 23 rd so we can plan for catering<br />

and other space considerations. The entry fee is a minimum donation of $25 per car with an award given to the<br />

individual who brings in the most sponsorship pledges. See our website at www.pca.org/mav for details.<br />

Please help us to make a difference for these charities and get to know your North Texas Car Nut neighbors!<br />

Copy or Cut out and mail completed form to: Linda Bambina 3120 Golfing Green Dr. Farmers Branch, 75234. Enclose<br />

Hill Country Heaven<br />

by Hill Bullock<br />

Bluebonnet Driveway.<br />

Lining up to start the tour.<br />

Having participated in the Fall Arkansas trip, I already knew to<br />

expect great driving, wonderful accommodations, and excellent company<br />

from one of Nelson Hodges’ tours. I was not prepared, however,<br />

for the rare and delicate beauty which awaited us in the Hill<br />

Country of Texas.<br />

We set off from Benbrook Friday morning, just southwest of Ft.<br />

Worth. It was a treat meeting up again with some of the good friends<br />

we had made on the Arkansas trip, like Mike Richardson and Betty<br />

Feir from Texarkana. The weather was a little overcast, but it made<br />

for very pleasant top-less motoring on the way down to Marble Falls,<br />

where we stopped for lunch at the Bluebonnet Café; a name which<br />

would prove prophetic before the end of the trip. The place wasn’t<br />

much to look at, but oh-my did they have desserts to die for.<br />

Everyone at our table, which included Al and Le Stickley, ended up<br />

with a healthy slice of pie; everything from Peanut Butter to Pecan to<br />

Apple Pie a la Mode. Everyone knows there are no calories on vacation!<br />

Yum.<br />

After lunch, we proceeded down to Wimberly for a little shopping<br />

and winding down. Despite it being a Friday and Wimberly<br />

seeming like a relatively quiet, small tourist town, the place fairly bustled<br />

with activity and the roads around town were crawling with cars.<br />

We managed to get in and out cleanly, though, only requiring one<br />

mass about-face to pull it off. The next stop was the Haven River Inn<br />

in Comfort, Texas; our base of operations for the next 2 days. The Inn<br />

was a quite idyllic old 3-story house, sitting atop a small hill in the<br />

midst of a pecan orchard. It had a big wrap-around porch, rocking<br />

chairs, and a beautiful view down into the orchard and over a small<br />

river. This place practically begged you to sit around and relax, but<br />

the road begged more, so we rarely got a chance to get too settled.<br />

Stretching our legs a little.<br />

Lunch on the Riverwalk.<br />

Dinner was fairly soon after arrival at a very neat old general<br />

store-like place called the Welfare Café. We shared a table with Dan<br />

and Bonnie Griffith and swapped stories while enjoying the live<br />

music and good food. Dinner was followed by dessert back at the Inn<br />

provided by our very own Taxi Breithaupt.<br />

So far there had been very few bluebonnets, but plenty of great,<br />

curvy back roads with sparse traffic; lots of smiles per mile.<br />

The next day we were up early, had a nice breakfast at the Inn,<br />

and then headed out for some seriously undulating and twisty roads.<br />

It was sprinkling a little bit, so the driving was dampened to compensate,<br />

but the roads were still incredible.<br />

We headed into San Antonio for lunch, a quick stroll around on<br />

the River Walk, and then headed back out onto the twisty roads to get<br />

to the Welfare Country Club for a big, buffet dinner. On the way, the<br />

“flower count” started heading skyward, as we encountered a large<br />

8


field solid with bluebonnets. We just had to stop and ogle with the<br />

rest of the road-side admirers. Plenty of photo ops there. I have never<br />

seen anything like it. We were met at the Welfare Country Club by a<br />

large PCA contingent from Austin, but due to arriving a bit late, we<br />

were only able to mix for a short while. Still, we had a parking lot fairly<br />

brimming over with Porsches. After-dinner entertainment was<br />

provided by a half-dozen or so gents who repeatedly tried to pushstart<br />

a recalcitrant 911. Unfortunately, a push start was not enough<br />

to cure what ailed it and the poor fellow was forced to abandon his<br />

car overnight. Fortunately, it was in a locked parking lot though,<br />

thank goodness.<br />

Sunday morning offered another tasty breakfast at the Inn and<br />

a later-than-usual start towards Fredricksburg. When we arrived, half<br />

the crowd headed into The National Museum of the Pacific War (previously<br />

known as the Admiral Nimitz Museum; very interesting) and<br />

the other half headed off to sample the shopping. My wife Lisa and I<br />

split up, but according to her when we reconvened, the shopping<br />

looked exceptional and we would definitely be coming back when we<br />

had more time to shop and a vehicle with more storage capacity. Next<br />

we headed to Llano for some barbecue at Coopers. But on the way,<br />

we took a little detour suggested by Bonnie Glover through the<br />

Willow City Loop. This is where the scenery and wild flower viewing<br />

went off the chart. We crawled along a little 1.5 lane road with a<br />

goodly amount of traffic both ways. The view off the road into the<br />

lower surrounding countryside was absolutely gorgeous, with many<br />

areas literally carpeted with wild flowers. You never wanted to go<br />

faster than 5 MPH just so that you could take it all in. People were<br />

parked all along the roadside, completely caught up in the natural<br />

beauty on display. Cows wandered around unrestrained and we had<br />

several “tire washes”, driving through very shallow creeks which<br />

crossed over low points in the road. Everyone was quite in awe of the<br />

landscape and the flowers.<br />

After some exceptional barbecue at Coopers, we realized it was<br />

getting late and started the journey home in earnest. We stopped one<br />

more time for gas and ice cream before getting to I-30 and rejoining<br />

the automotive masses.<br />

Once on the interstate, the group started to splinter as people<br />

headed towards their respective homes. What will always unite the<br />

group, however, are the fond memories of the great Hill Country<br />

roads, wild flowers, cuisine, hospitality, and time shared with good<br />

friends. As with the Arkansas trip, Lisa and I have found another<br />

annual event we plan to attend on a regular basis. If you haven’t tried<br />

it, you don’t know what you are missing.<br />

Many thanks go to Nelson for another wonderful trip, to Ted and<br />

Bonnie Glover for acting as “slack”, to Al and Le Stickley for middlepack<br />

management, and to Mike Oakes and Tinker Edwards for being<br />

such a great caboose. And of course, to Taxi Breithaupt for dessert!<br />

Ladies Autocross School<br />

by Dolores McAlister - Z Club Member<br />

The recent Ladies Autocross School hosted by the Maverick<br />

Region Porsche Club of America was not just for Porsche ladies.<br />

Some Z car ladies came out to join us and had a great time, too.<br />

Following is an article from one of those Z car ladies, who seemed to<br />

really enjoy her day with the Porsche club.<br />

Saturday morning was a beautiful day, but just before leaving<br />

my house to meet up with the other Z Ladies attending the Ladies<br />

only Autocross, I decided to grab my coat. I didn’t think I would<br />

need it, as it didn’t feel cold at all at home. Was I ever thankful for<br />

that coat! The north wind was blowing at about 25 - 30 miles an<br />

hour at Standridge Stadium in Carrollton, and that’s cold! Other<br />

than the wind, the Porsche Club Ladies (and male helpers) had<br />

lined up a wonderful day for all of us! We had a great time, and<br />

were very appreciative of the invitation.<br />

Some of us did much better than others, and that was to be<br />

expected! Jean Marshall, who took private lessons from Warren<br />

Bushey, (alias Z CRAZY) was told the object of the game was to<br />

hit as many cones as possible! And did she ever! We actually had<br />

to stop the slalom runs while an impaled cone was extracted from<br />

Jean’s car. We secretly took Jean aside (out of sight of Warren) and<br />

assured her that Warren gave her bogus instructions! He was also<br />

the cause of her backing up in the autocross to go through a<br />

‘missed gate’. We told her that was also a ‘no-no’.<br />

I had never driven in an autocross before, and my times<br />

reflected that! But there was almost 20 seconds difference<br />

between my first run, and my last run, so I was quite pleased with<br />

my improvement! I learned about skid-pads, gates, directional<br />

cones, the box, a pivot cone, a chicane, what to do when your<br />

instructor starts screaming, etc, etc, etc!!!<br />

For those of you who didn’t join us, you missed a great time!<br />

But you will have another chance! The Porsche Club is having a<br />

regular autocross at this location on June 3! If we leave Warren<br />

home, they said we could come back.<br />

Wendt Shoffit and Event Chair Jan <strong>May</strong>o address the crowd.<br />

Although Jane Willis looked a little lost in the pit area . . .<br />

. . . she was definitely not lost on course. She has to instruct next year! Meg Boure and her instructor, Rose Gohlke, cornering hard into the skidpad.<br />

Six Points To A Traffic Stop<br />

by Michael Wingfield<br />

The red and blue lights atop the car behind me illuminate,<br />

creating a strobe effect in my rear view mirror. The crisp wail of a<br />

siren blast rings in my ears. There is no doubt about it, the Dallas<br />

Police Officer behind me wants MY attention. What could he<br />

possibly want with me? We are both sitting in a left turn lane at a<br />

traffic light, and have been for two complete cycles of the light.<br />

Traffic is heavy and only a few cars make it through the intersection<br />

at each cycle of the green light. But there he is, waving his arms and<br />

pointing at me. Does he want me to move? How can I? I am stuck<br />

with traffic in front of me, to my right, and a light pole in the<br />

median to my left. There is no where for me to go. Then it<br />

becomes clear that he wants me and my 944 to be the subject of this<br />

traffic stop as I see him talking on his radio and preparing to open<br />

the door on his patrol car.<br />

As I watch in my rear view mirror, he opens his car door and<br />

very slowly approaches my vehicle. He turns sideways, presenting<br />

only his profile rather than his width as he steps ever so slowly<br />

towards my car. His face is backlit by the setting sun; I can not see<br />

his face. His head bobs up and down, left and right, appearing<br />

more like a boxer in the ring than a police officer, as he peers<br />

through the back glass of my car. He is looking in my car, but not<br />

with a casual glance. He is looking very intently and seriously as he<br />

studies the empty rear cargo area of my car. I see his right hand<br />

move to his weapon; he unbuckles the safety strap. He continues<br />

to inch slowly toward the driver side of my car.<br />

Does he think my car is stolen? Has he mistaken my car for<br />

one recently used in a crime? Hundreds of thoughts race through<br />

my mind as I sit completely still in the driver seat; my hands firmly<br />

gripping the steering wheel at 10-&-2, hopefully in plain sight of<br />

the approaching police officer. The insurance card is current and<br />

in the glove box, the registration is new as I put the new sticker on<br />

the windshield last night, the state inspection is current. What<br />

could be wrong? I do not want to give this officer any cause to<br />

become more suspicious or alarmed as he stalks up alongside my<br />

car. How could I have gotten myself into this situation?<br />

It all started the night before. I had just completed the installation<br />

of my new Momo seat, harness bar and Deist 6-point<br />

harness in my Sapphire 944. I had grown tired of trying to use the<br />

steering wheel as leverage during track events to keep my rear end<br />

in the stock leather seat, which had become hard, slick, aged, and<br />

torn. Since I had to replace the seat, I decided that I might as well<br />

get something more appropriate for driving events. I completed<br />

the work in time to have the equipment in the car for the<br />

Wednesday night technical inspection before the next Maverick<br />

track event. I looked forward to driving the car from north Dallas<br />

to the mid-cities with the new seating arrangement.<br />

After work, I buckle myself snuggly into my new Momo seat<br />

and head towards <strong>May</strong>o’s for the driving event technical inspection.<br />

On my route, I knew I had some school zones, and being the<br />

safe law-abiding citizen that I am, I slowed appropriately for each<br />

zone. At the beginning of the first school zone, I notice a Dallas<br />

Police car parked in the median, facing my direction. No need to<br />

worry; I am traveling below the posted speed limit and slowed<br />

sufficiently for the school zone. However, I notice the police car<br />

pull away from the median and follow me through the zone. While<br />

most folks might start to get a little paranoid at this point, I relax<br />

and continue my journey. At the end of the school zone, I notice<br />

the police car still pacing me to the next traffic light. At the next<br />

traffic light, I signal my right turn intentions, turn right at the<br />

green traffic light and proceed down the next street. The police car<br />

continues to follow. It must be a coincidence I think to myself.<br />

Again, the police car paces me through a second school zone.<br />

At the next major intersection, my journey requires that I<br />

make a left turn. I signal left and pull into the left turn lane,<br />

queuing up behind a long line of other cars also wanting to make<br />

a left turn at the intersection. As I watch my mirrors, I notice that<br />

the police car has not made any moves to turn left at this intersection.<br />

Good – the police car passes me and proceeds through the<br />

intersection. As the first police car goes past, I notice a second<br />

police car parked in a strip mall across the street. As soon as the<br />

first police car passes me, the second police car drives rapidly from<br />

the parking lot, crosses three lanes of traffic, and queues up behind<br />

me at the traffic light. This brings me back to where I started: two<br />

cars in a row, waiting patiently for the traffic to clear and for the<br />

traffic light to turn green; then the lights and siren from the police<br />

car and the Dallas Police officer slowly approaching the driver<br />

window of my car.<br />

As the Police officer nears the left rear quarter panel of my car,<br />

he stops. Again his head bobs as he looks through the rear window<br />

and now the left quarter panel window. He stands with his back<br />

toward the car fender; head turned ninety degrees, looking over his<br />

right shoulder. In my driver side mirror, I clearly see his right hand<br />

on his weapon. He studies the empty contents of the car back seat<br />

area and then looks toward the driver side window and me. He<br />

slowly and cautiously takes another step. Suddenly he stops. He<br />

stretches out his left hand he makes a slight waving motion and<br />

says,“Never mind.” He then takes a step back toward his patrol car.<br />

“Wait a minute! Stop! Where are you going?” I shout to the<br />

police officer as I still sit almost statuesque, as my hands continue<br />

to firmly grip the steering wheel. “Did I really say that out loud,” I<br />

think to myself in startled disbelief. In my mirror I see the officer<br />

stop and pivot back toward my car.<br />

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem? Is something wrong with<br />

my car?” I ask.<br />

“Nothing,” the officer replies. Again he starts to make his way<br />

back to his car.<br />

“Wait!” I shout again. “Why did you stop me?”<br />

The officer turns slowly toward my car once again. However,<br />

this time while he continues to move slowly, he appears to move<br />

with less concern for caution and more with regret. He approaches<br />

the driver side window, he stops short of coming up next to the<br />

door. I turn my head to look at him; his face is still hidden from<br />

my view as the setting sun lingers his head. I see him reach out<br />

with his left hand, as if he is going to reach into the open driver side<br />

window. His hand stops just behind the door post, his index<br />

finger points to the B-pillar, and he waves it in a rather nonchalant<br />

manner.<br />

“I saw this,” he says as he points to the factory seat belt clasp<br />

hanging from the B-pillar.<br />

He next reaches his hand toward the open window and waves<br />

it in an up and down motion in front of me, from my neck to my<br />

waist. He says in an embarrassed, almost inaudible voice, as he<br />

moves back toward his patrol car, “But I didn’t see all of these,”<br />

indicating my 6-point harness. Thus, while one freely hanging seat<br />

belt buckle can warrant a traffic stop, a snug fitting 6-point harness<br />

will certainly prevent the issuance of a traffic ticket!<br />

Happy Hour at Pugsley’s Library<br />

by Tinker Edwards<br />

For the March<br />

happy hour we did<br />

something different.<br />

It was opening night<br />

of the NCAA basketball<br />

tournament<br />

(I’m not sure if we<br />

knew this or not<br />

when we scheduled<br />

The Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain (co-chair), the happy hour but<br />

Tinker Edwards (chair) & Witry (co-chair) it worked and we<br />

looked like we had<br />

everything under control) so we visited a sport bar call Pugsley’s<br />

Library on March 15th. We had a good turnout with six new<br />

members attending: Jeffrey Allen, Leonard Boyer, Kent Haven,<br />

Rick Illes, Mike Jones and Ken Perry and a couple of new members<br />

from the previous happy hour: Jeff Bryant and Ellis Cokes.<br />

Even Maverick Region President, James Shoffit, stopped by to<br />

meet the new members.<br />

All members are invited to come out and unwind after a hard<br />

day’s work, so we’ll see you at the next one... or should I say “two”<br />

because there will be two happy hour’s in <strong>May</strong> (see page 3).<br />

Hope Happenings<br />

by Lanean Hughes<br />

With all the events going on last month, I was able to send<br />

donations in the amount of $330 to the Hope shelter. These<br />

donations came from our Parade Lap at the DE in February, and<br />

picture money from photos taken at the AX school by Kevin<br />

Hardison. All monetary donations are so appreciated.<br />

The shelter has been quite busy with several residents and we<br />

have again been able to provide critical help when needed to the<br />

staff at Hope. My thanks to those of you who have been regularly<br />

donating to this great cause.<br />

If you have not visited the shelter, please take time to make<br />

the trip to Mineral Wells and meet the wonderful people whose<br />

continued efforts help to keep individuals from abusive situations.<br />

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Tom & Annette<br />

Snodgrass, Charlie Grubbs, Werner Foltz and all the other volunteers<br />

at TMS who gave their time to work the NASCAR race and<br />

make great money for the shelter. We have been volunteering for<br />

the Hospitality Village since TMS opened, and the “Porsche Club”<br />

is always the winner of the Golf Kart Series. If you have not volunteered,<br />

then call Lanean at 972-484-3040 let me know and I<br />

will put your name on the list, so when events are taking place at<br />

TMS and they need workers, you will be volunteered!<br />

"Nuevo" Member Party<br />

by Wendy Shoffit<br />

The ‘nuevo’ Nuevo Leon (formerly La Valentina) in North<br />

Dallas was the perfect setting for our annual Nuevo (new) member’s<br />

party. Okay, enough with the nuevos. Sorry, I couldn’t resist!<br />

Anyway, like I was saying the restaurant was absolutely gorgeous<br />

and could not have been nicer. Over 50 members who had<br />

joined since January 2000 came out to meet nearly 25 ‘old’ members.<br />

It was a small sampling of our overall membership, but they were<br />

certainly among the best and most active.<br />

While the beer and margaritas flowed, everyone was having<br />

a great time getting to know each other. I heard a rumor that the<br />

appetizers were delicious, but was never quick enough to reach<br />

the table. I was too busy having fun socializing. Not to worry,<br />

though, the owner, Luis, had selected a few tasty menu items to<br />

serve us later if we wanted to stay for dinner. Top that off with<br />

some scrumptious cookies made by our very own pastry chef,<br />

Mimi Spreen. Needless to say, I did not go home hungry!<br />

Lanean Hughes had yet another trick up her sleeve for the<br />

evening. Somehow, she managed to get some really cool raffle<br />

prizes. They included a few Porsche Motorsports bears, lots of<br />

shirts, and a few special St. Patrick’s Day trinkets. As always,<br />

proceeds from our raffles go to benefit the Hope Shelter.<br />

Many thanks to Luis and Nuevo Leon for their wonderful<br />

hospitality. New and old members alike seemed to really enjoy<br />

their evening.<br />

Porsche Planning GT<br />

Version of Boxster Coupe<br />

Courtesy of Autoweek<br />

Autoweek (4/13/<strong>2001</strong>): Reports from those who have seen<br />

Porsche's proposed Boxster Coupe indicate the German sports<br />

car maker is planning a GT version that would also offer Audi<br />

TT-fighting all-wheel drive.<br />

Porsche has been hosting focus groups of owners of similar<br />

two-door models, apparently as part of planning for a coupe to<br />

compete with the Chevrolet Corvette, Audi TT, Mercedes-Benz<br />

CLK and BMW Z3 coupes.<br />

A 230-horsepower 2.7-liter flat six would power Porsche's<br />

coupe, though the company has suggested to focus groups the<br />

possibility of offering an engine with up to 315 horsepower.<br />

Porsche North America officials declined to comment on the<br />

Boxster Coupe.<br />

Corners of the Mind: Learning By Teaching Others<br />

By Paul Young, San Diego Region (from The Windblown Witness)<br />

How long should it be until a driver becomes an<br />

instructor? This is a question I am often asked by an<br />

entrant at an autocross or time trial. Some ask it at their<br />

first event, and some after a year or two. Of course, every<br />

driver is ultimately responsible for his or her own education,<br />

so in a sense we are all instructors. Still, the question<br />

remains: How much experience is necessary to become an<br />

officially recognized driving instructor? To answer this<br />

question, we should look at the motivations, benefits,<br />

responsibilities, and qualifications associated with being a<br />

driving instructor.<br />

Some are motivated by the prestige associated with the<br />

title of Driving Instructor: An ego-boosting feather in the<br />

hat; I have arrived; I have been recognized as a competent<br />

driver. A normal feeling, but we should recognize it as such<br />

and not let this be our only reason. An instructor has the<br />

opportunity to ride in (and perhaps drive) a variety of<br />

Porsches; some similar, some different. This affords some<br />

insights into what improvements can be made to one’s own<br />

car, as well as some thrilling experiences and test drives or<br />

rides. Again, a common incentive, but hopefully not the<br />

sole consideration.<br />

A fairly obvious benefit of being an instructor is the<br />

extra track time, which helps improve the instructor’s driving,<br />

too. This obviously selfish motive is a genuinely good<br />

reason for wanting to instruct. Instead of just seeking a<br />

thrill, the desire is to better one’s own driving as well as the<br />

student’s. How we approach the benefit of extra track time<br />

has a great deal to do with how we benefit from it. Of<br />

course we should not just use the student as a means to get<br />

track time for ourselves, but we can make the situation one<br />

where both the student and instructor profit.<br />

The first order of business is our instructing attitude.<br />

The title of Driving Instructor does not mean that we know<br />

it all (we never will) and we shouldn’t think that there is<br />

nothing for us to discover. This open-minded approach will<br />

allow us to learn, and the students will see it as a good<br />

model for themselves. I usually share with my students that<br />

I am still a student too. The beauty of driving is that no<br />

matter how good one becomes, there is always something<br />

more for learning and growth. A great deal of the fun<br />

comes from this learning and growth process itself.<br />

Next, I try to find out where the student is at with their<br />

driving skill. I ask about their experience and observe their<br />

driving (a single lap will usually suffice). I run through a<br />

mental checklist, starting with the basics (seating, hand<br />

position, and controls). Even if they have some training and<br />

experience, it is important to ensure a solid foundation.<br />

The list goes on through turn types, finding the line, using<br />

all the course, optimizing braking, and so forth. I try to<br />

assess what the student needs most, and determine some<br />

quick, reasonable, meaningful goals. It might be simply to<br />

complete a lap with decent hand position, or refining leftfoot<br />

braking, but it should be tailored to the individual student<br />

and their needs. Depending on the situation, some<br />

students can work on several improvements at once. For<br />

example, I may have a student focus on smoother braking<br />

and not fighting the steering wheel while exiting a corner<br />

on the same lap or run session. As they become better during<br />

the day, I move them on to other topics, but I am always<br />

sensitive to what they need to concentrate on next, working<br />

at their own pace.<br />

Meanwhile, in the background of my mind, I am also<br />

studying the course, becoming more familiar with it. This<br />

will help me to instruct the student better, but I can also<br />

apply it to my own driving. Perhaps I will drive the track<br />

mentally while riding with the student, assuming I can still<br />

monitor the aspects of their driving that I want to.<br />

Sometimes, all I need to do is visualize that my subconscious<br />

mind is a tape recorder, registering the track while I<br />

am focusing on helping the student drive. When it’s over, I<br />

am surprised at how much I can recall about the course as<br />

it pertains to what I want to teach myself. While instructing<br />

requires a good deal of effort and concentration, at times<br />

the freedom from driving myself will allow me to see things<br />

more clearly.<br />

The instructor-student relationship should not be<br />

purely one-sided. Naturally, a beginner may not be able to<br />

suggest the optimum apex for a turn, but I have actually<br />

learned a lot from my students. It may be obvious, such as<br />

a student riding with me and suggesting that I try a different<br />

line. Hey, I am always open to suggestions, so I’ll test it<br />

out. Even if I have my doubts, it will be instructive to the<br />

student and reinforce their own willingness to learn.<br />

Sometimes while riding with students, they will try differ-<br />

20


ent approaches on their own volition. I’ll be the first to<br />

admit that I learned something myself. Sometimes just<br />

another individual’s perspective will offer new insights into<br />

the driving experience.<br />

While working with a student on a particular situation,<br />

I find it worthwhile to see if I can apply it to my own driving.<br />

It doesn’t matter if it’s a basic item like hand position,<br />

I’ll review it with myself as well as the student. This technique<br />

of brushing up helps ensure I haven’t lapsed into bad<br />

habits. I have also found that I can work on the same thing<br />

as the student when I am driving. For example, I often find<br />

students that fight the steering wheel while accelerating out<br />

of a corner, leaving too much room to the outside and not<br />

using all the course. While I work on this point with them,<br />

I myself will use the lesson to refine my own driving in this<br />

area. When the student is riding with me, I will focus on<br />

optimizing my apex and throttle application to use all of<br />

the track. Not only am I illustrating the point for the students,<br />

I am taking the opportunity to instruct myself on the<br />

same subject. An added benefit is that, although I may be<br />

working at a different level on the same problem, it is good<br />

for the student to see my approach to teaching myself and<br />

therefore, the student’s learn to teach themselves, also.<br />

The process of instructing is in itself helpful to the<br />

improvement of our own driving. In order to explain something<br />

and teach someone about it, we must put some<br />

thought into it ourselves. This thought process helps us to<br />

better understand the situation, and this improved understanding<br />

will lead to better driving. The more we clarify a<br />

technique to a student, the better we will become at that<br />

skill ourselves. Also, there are some things that we seem to<br />

do subconsciously. By going over these issues with the student,<br />

we bring them to the conscious level where we can<br />

focus on improving them. Although it is good to have some<br />

skills that are automatic (at the subconscious level), it is<br />

valuable to at least know what these are. We should look at<br />

our habits from time to time to be sure we aren’t developing<br />

bad ones.<br />

The more proficient we become as instructors, the better<br />

it is for our own driving. Since we are our own best<br />

teacher, it makes sense that we want to improve our driver<br />

training ability. Our talent at clarifying things to our students<br />

helps our own driving as we can apply this knowledge<br />

to educate ourselves. Sometimes though, we need a break<br />

from instructing others. It is prudent to recognize this and<br />

perhaps drive alone for an event. This sabbatical can help<br />

us focus our driving and gather some fresh ideas as well.<br />

What are the responsibilities of a driving instructor? Of<br />

foremost importance is safety. Our driving events are fun,<br />

but without safety we can’t have fun (we can’t have events<br />

at all for that matter). It is the instructor's responsibility to<br />

look for safety issues. Impress on the students the importance<br />

of always being aware of safety. Along with the prestige<br />

of being an instructor comes the visibility of the position:<br />

we are examples and ambassadors for PCA. We are<br />

responsible to help these folks get more out of their<br />

Porsche: more fun, confidence, skill, and bonding.<br />

Encouragement and motivation are key issues to enhancing<br />

the students’ experiences. Instructors should share amongst<br />

themselves too. Ride with each other, constantly network,<br />

sharing tips and techniques for both driving and teaching.<br />

So, what is necessary to become a driving instructor?<br />

Obviously, the instructor should be a competent driver, at<br />

least demonstrating the basics: positions, turn types, apex,<br />

smoothness and a bit of vehicle dynamics. Driving ability is<br />

just one qualification. The greatest driver may not necessarily<br />

be good at instructing. The instructor needs to have<br />

decent teaching ability. We don’t want to illustrate bad<br />

habits to a newcomer; it is much more important that we<br />

are able to communicate the basic concepts involved. To<br />

demonstrate beautiful driving without imparting any<br />

knowledge is useless. Simply being able to drive well or having<br />

attended school does not suffice by itself.<br />

Driving talent and the ability to communicate and<br />

teach are skills that can be learned by anyone. We must also<br />

have a certain attitude to instruct, which can be more difficult<br />

to develop. The instructor must be dedicated to driving<br />

excellence, sportsmanship, and helping the student learn<br />

about their Porsche and how it handles, while having fun at<br />

the same time. This, coupled with an open mind about<br />

driving, learning, and instructing, will go a long way to<br />

being an effective instructor and ensuring the success of the<br />

students and the club. Individual instructors have different<br />

styles. This is good. What’s important is that each instructor<br />

works closely with the students, adapting to their individual<br />

needs.<br />

I had been driving at events for a year before I was ready<br />

to start instructing. For me, teaching is now the most<br />

rewarding part of PCA. The satisfaction of driving well at an<br />

event can’t compare with seeing the gleam in the eyes of a<br />

new member who has bonded with their Porsche. You have<br />

helped them achieve something they could only dream of.<br />

They have discovered the magic of the marque and the club.<br />

Just The Details: Why Wash Your Car?<br />

by David Bynon, San Diego Region (from The Windblown Witness)<br />

It was European coach builders<br />

that first applied coatings of animal<br />

fats and wax to protect the custom<br />

paint on their horse drawn carriages.<br />

This tradition has endured over 100<br />

years and is still the best way to protect<br />

the paint on modern-day coaches.<br />

Today, the multi-layered finish on<br />

your car, from the primer through the top (clear) coat is only<br />

.006 to .008 of an inch thick. Regardless of how fine the finish is<br />

now, it will deteriorate and dull. Radiant and ultraviolet energy,<br />

acid rain, salt, atmospheric pollution, insect fluids, and bird<br />

droppings wage a constant war on your car’s finish. Waxing<br />

provides an easily renewable transparent barrier between the<br />

finish and a hostile environment.<br />

Waxing also makes your car, new or old, look better. Quality<br />

waxes now combine enriching oils that wet the surface with<br />

protective formulas of Brazilian Carnauba or modern polymers<br />

for a high gloss shine. This brings us to the subject of selecting a<br />

wax. Waxes can be made from a natural wax, usually Brazilian<br />

Carnauba, or synthetically made of polymers and acrylic resins.<br />

In choosing a wax, here are some things to consider:<br />

Carnauba Waxes<br />

Carnauba comes from the fronds of the ‘Tree of Life’<br />

(Copernica Cerifera) native to Brazil. It is nature’s hardest,<br />

purest, and most transparent wax. Carnauba car waxes tend to<br />

produce a deeper, darker, richer shine that is often described as<br />

three-dimensional. Many enthusiasts and show-car owners<br />

prefer the shine of Carnauba waxes, especially on black and red<br />

and other dark colors. Carnauba waxes bead water nicely, absorb<br />

the acid content in rain and hide minor swirls in the paint.<br />

Meguiar’s No. 26 Pure Wax, Mothers California Gold, Eagle One<br />

Pure Carnauba Paste Wax, and Pinnacle Paste Glaz are a few of<br />

the many Carnauba waxes available.<br />

On the minus side, Carnauba waxes are not as durable as<br />

synthetic waxes. Depending on your climate, they typically last<br />

up to 90 days Paste Carnauba waxes will outlast liquid Carnauba<br />

waxes due to their higher wax content). Some Carnauba waxes<br />

can be more difficult to apply and remove. Also, Carnauba waxes<br />

can be temperamental, occasionally streaking under certain<br />

conditions.<br />

Synthetic Waxes<br />

Made from modern polymers and acrylic resins, synthetic<br />

waxes offer excellent durability and ease of application.<br />

Synthetic waxes can last six to nine months or longer and<br />

typically wipe on and off easily. These waxes create a very bright<br />

shine and are resistant to clouding and streaking.<br />

On the down side, many enthusiasts feel synthetic waxes<br />

lack depth and richness. Black cars can look a little sterile or<br />

silvery white in the direct sunlight. And, the mirror-like<br />

polymers can collect minor swirls and highlight flaws.<br />

Show-Car Tricks<br />

Detailers that prepare show cars will often layer a Carnauba<br />

wax on top of a synthetic wax. The synthetic wax acts as a gloss<br />

layer while the Carnauba wax adds depth and luquidity. One<br />

combination that works well is an initial coating of Klasse All-<br />

In-One followed by one or more coats of Pinnacle Paste Glaz or<br />

Souveran wax. The latter two waxes are super-pure Carnauba<br />

waxes that can be layered without any yellowing effects.<br />
