Swap Meet At GTI by Vaughan Garrett "Porsche Parts, Porsche People" What do you get when you mix people and parts together? A Swap Meet! About 100 swappers showed up at Dan Butt's GTI in Euless for the Maverick Region's first Porsche swap meet of the year. Despite a sharp wind, sunny skies prevailed bringing Porsche fans out of winter hibernation. The swap meet is always a friendly event and a time to meet new comers and old timers. You can see the wheels turning in people's minds as to how they're going to fix-up their cars for the coming season. Even The Goodie Store had a nice set-up and made many sales. Thanks to Dan Butts, Tinker Moncus, Lanean Hughes, and to all who helped make this year's swap meet a successful event. The Goodie Store table was kept busy. The 928s were out in force and parked in a group in front of GTI’s shop. Bill Dawson and Bryan Henderson swap stories amidst the parts. Specializing in mechanical repair, Maintenance, 4-wheel alignment, and complete German automobile body repair. A.S.E. certified Master A.S.A. Glasurit certified 1118 S.

One Lap of D/FW Charity Drive June 2, <strong>2001</strong> Sponsored by the Maverick Region PCA What?: Why?: When?: Where?: Who?: A day long tour around the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. To benefit Familiar Footsteps (a home for mentally disabled adults) and Hope Shelter (a center for physically and mentally abused women and children). Saturday, June 2, <strong>2001</strong>; 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Start - Downtown Fort Worth; Lunch - Texas Motor Speedway; Finish -The Ballpark in Arlington. All Metroplex Specialty Car Clubs. This year we have a great opportunity to help two of the lesser known local charity organizations through participation in the "Charity One Lap of D/FW." The two charities listed as benefactors of this event do not receive as much notoriety or help as other household name groups. However, they are doing a great service for our community and deserve recognition and help. The Charity One Lap of D/FW will bring together most of the specialty car clubs of North Texas to show, parade, visit with other people who have a passion about their vehicle marque, and to generally have fun. The format of the event is as follows. We will all rendezvous at the appointed time and location, caravan to each successive location along the published route to parade for the waving crowds, and end in the center of the Metroplex where each car club can conduct their own concours, show and shine, or other awards contest if they wish. This will also give the general public a central location to come by and get close to some of the most beautiful, exciting and interesting cars in the area, and talk with the owners. Included in the route plan is lunch and other activities at the Texas Motor Speedway. This event will be covered by the media to help promote the cause and awareness. Each car club is asked to help promote the event with private and corporate sponsors for tax deductible donations to the event. All proceeds will benefit the charities. Awards will be given to the car clubs for largest total donations, and for greatest donations per number of participants, so let's get out the MR PCA people! Entry fees are $25.00 per car, and pre-registration is an absolute must. We are expecting a large turnout for this event, so make sure to be a part of a fun event. Plan your June 2nd Saturday now to join us for food, fun and merriment for a great cause. If you would like to help, or simply want more information about how to participate for the charities contact the event chairman, Nelson Hodges at (972) 602-9280 (w), (817) 633-8161 (h), or via e-mail at nhodges@HBArchs.com. Help us make a difference while getting to know your North Texas car nut neighbors. We hope to make this an annual event.
