It’s Fun.<br />

It’s Safe.<br />

It’s Local.<br />

Intro To Autocross 101<br />

Standridge Stadium in Farmers Branch<br />

Saturday, <strong>February</strong> 3th<br />

Car Tech opens - 9:00 AM • Drivers' Meeting - 10:00 AM<br />

It’s Low Key.<br />

It’s Informative.<br />

Free Food.<br />

With so many new members interested in our driving events . . .<br />

the Maverick Region has decided to offer a basic pre-season, “how to autocross” school.<br />

At Orientation, students will learn how to Register, Classify and Tech their cars. Professors who have decades of<br />

driving experience will give lectures on how to safely enjoy driving the cars we all love so much. Labs will be given on basic<br />

Autocrossing skills like Cornering, Slaloms, and the Skid Pad. Teaching Assistants will provide you with all the tutoring<br />

you will need to learn these skills.<br />

Lunch will be provided in the School Cafeteria while the Autocross course is prepared.<br />

A Driver’s Assembly will get everyone ready to have fun with the short low-speed autocross.<br />

The Deans of the 356, 911, 912, 914, 924, 928, 944, 968 and 986 Colleges will provide initial Course Walking<br />

instruction for the students by car type. (Non-Porsches will be taught by the Dean of Foreign Studies!)<br />

The Teaching Assistants will then provide hands on instruction and demonstration in Course<br />

Walking, Car Handling, Autocrossing and Corner Working. Following the Driving Class a Recess<br />

Period will give Students, Teaching Assistants and Professors the opportunity to have Fun Runs to<br />

get prepared for the Autocross #1 Finals on <strong>February</strong> 18th at Standridge Stadium.<br />

Everyone, faculty included, is encouraged to bring their cars out and have fun.<br />

Fun Run participants must sign the waiver and pass tech inspection before they are allowed on the track.<br />

Please RSVP by January 31st . . . but limited on-site Late Registration is allowed.<br />

Class fees are $25 for Members and $30 for non-Members. Free lunch for all Workers and Instructors.<br />

To Register or Volunteer, contact Wendy Shoffit at (972) 506-7449 or email at wendy@shoffit.com<br />

Prez Says:<br />

by James Shoffit, Maverick Region President<br />

Wendy and I just got back from a week long<br />

ski trip to Whistler (just North of Vancouver, BC<br />

in Canada). We took a few friends with us<br />

and met some friends there and it gave us a nice<br />

chance to ski, relax, and recuperate from<br />

the holidays. Coming back to reality has been<br />

difficult! I have started a new software consulting<br />

contract, so I find myself busier than I have been<br />

in quite some time.<br />

There are new members joining our club every day, and I<br />

have gotten to meet a few of them at Happy Hours, and other<br />

various events (and spoken to a few on the phone). I would like<br />

to encourage all the new members to come out and try a few<br />

events to see what we have to offer and find out what you enjoy.<br />

Our next driving event is the Intro to Autocross on <strong>February</strong> 3rd,<br />

a great place to start. If you miss that event, then feel free to come<br />

out to the first Autocross on <strong>February</strong> 18th at Standridge Stadium<br />

in Carrollton and meet a few people.<br />

There will also be a Swap Meet at GTI on the 17th, which<br />

always brings out large quantities of people. I know I will be<br />

bringing another load of car parts to try and give away! Further,<br />

the following weekend is the Driver Education event at<br />

MotorSport Ranch in Cresson. Again, even if you don’t enroll in<br />

the event, feel free to come out and meet people and see what the<br />

events are about. Also keep the Ladies Autocross School and New<br />

Member Party on your schedules for March.<br />

Several members from various locations around the metroplex<br />

have wondered why we try to have everyone make the trek to<br />

Mayo Performance for Pre-Tech on the Wednesdays before<br />

Autocrosses and Time Trials. There are quite a few reasons, but<br />

the main ones are that 1) if we find a problem with your car, you<br />

have time to fix it, 2) we want to help maintain our excellent safety<br />

record, 3) pre-registration at the Pre-Tech greatly assists the<br />

registrar, event coordinators, and worker deity, 4) it gives us a<br />

chance to discuss the event with those unfamiliar with it, and<br />

(most important to me) 5) we get to socialize with old friends<br />

and meet new ones. There has been discussion of allowing<br />

pre-tech to occur at other places around the metroplex, but that<br />

would only seem to address point 1 and possibly point 2 above.<br />

It would still be courteous and advantageous for the event<br />

coordinators to know who and how many would be arriving for<br />

the event.<br />

Having the Pre-Tech at a dealer or other service location also<br />

minimizes the possibility of meeting other Maverick members<br />

and gaining a comfort level for the club and its activities. Further,<br />

it would not satisfy our requirement for novice orientation for<br />

Time Trials. This does not mean we are not working on it – for<br />

instance I would like to see some type of internet-enabled<br />

registration which would mean much less work for the registrar.<br />

But, as I am finding out, changes take time!<br />

Pam’s Page<br />

by Pam Abdalla, Editor<br />

Okay, my second issue is done and it<br />

certainly went much smoother than the first.<br />

With my move behind me I can now get<br />

more involved in the club and get to know all<br />

the people who I will be working with. I am<br />

still learning everyone’s names. Sitting in the<br />

January Board meeting at the Shoffit’s it<br />

became apparent to me that I didn’t know half<br />

of the people in attendance. Luckily, James went around the<br />

room and asked everyone individually, by name, if they had<br />

anything to add. By the time the meeting ended I felt<br />

confident that I could have passed the board-meetingattendees-name-quiz<br />

if given to me. Now if only I could<br />

remember what post everyone holds! I’ll master that one<br />

during <strong>February</strong>’s meeting.<br />

I’m looking forward to getting more involved in the club<br />

this year and going to a lot more events. George and I joined a<br />

little over a year ago and since then he has gone to quite a few<br />

events, mostly autocrosses and DE’s, but I was only able to<br />

attend 3 events due to being pregnant, and then, of course,<br />

having a newborn. Mikayla is now going on 9 months and<br />

although she is still quite a handful, she would probably enjoy<br />

being outside in the fresh air this Spring and Summer at the<br />

track. Well, as fresh as the air gets at the track. I might have<br />

to invest in a tent, though, as I remember last summer’s AX at<br />

Texas Motor Speedway was quite toasty.<br />

Well, George and I are off to a ski weekend in Santa Fe.<br />

Hopefully I won’t break my arm and I’ll be able to do the<br />

March issue just as smoothly as this one.<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 />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Andy Mears, Maverick Region Secretary<br />

The first board meeting of the new officers<br />

was on January 3, <strong>2001</strong> at the home of James<br />

and Wendy Shoffit in Valley Ranch. The premeeting<br />

dinner was an assortment of pizzas and<br />

holiday desserts including a huge 5-pound<br />

Hershey chocolate bar.<br />

James brought the meeting to order at 6:58<br />

to a full house with all current board members<br />

in attendance as well as most of the previous board.<br />

At this time Bob Knight is waiting for Joey to transfer the<br />

bank account and checkbook to him. The 3Q reimbursement<br />

check has been deposited.<br />

Next, Brian Scudder reported on the status of the October<br />

Club Race that Maverick Region is hosting at TMS. He said the<br />

club will need to commit half the money by mid-year. Also, Brian<br />

is looking for volunteers to help at this event.<br />

James reported that PCA National is encouraging more<br />

members to get trained and certified as corner workers. If you are<br />

interested, contact any of the board members for more details.<br />

The new member party will be in March and an approved<br />

amount was established to spend on mailings and party related<br />

expenses.<br />

Discussions began regarding the January track cleanup day<br />

at Mineral Wells to substitute for the scheduled Autocross<br />

Instructor Workshop. The Autocross (AX) Instructor Workshop<br />

has been postponed; information will be published in both<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong> and on the web once the details are nailed down.<br />

Teri Davis gave us an update on the January 20th Rally<br />

Workshop.<br />

A discussion was tabled regarding acquiring a new printer<br />

for Joel Nannis to use for printing reports. Also, a motion was<br />

passed to donate a 486 PC that belongs to the club to Hope<br />

Shelter.<br />

Everyone sang happy birthday to Graham Lane (Happy 39th<br />

again).<br />

Brian Scudder’s 928 group is planning some activities this<br />

year to include Tech Sessions and tours, if you are interested in<br />

finding out more please contact Brian.<br />

Mike Oakes gave an update about the web site and that the<br />

calendar is up to date and that if you have access to the web you<br />

should check the site regularly for updates. (www.pca.org/mav)<br />

American LeMans series is coming to TMS March 2-4 and<br />

Lanean is looking for volunteers to help.<br />

Kevin Hardison gave a report on the Autocross school that is<br />

scheduled for March 31 and April 1, he is looking for 10-15<br />

more workers and instructors.<br />

James brought the meeting to a close at 8:40.<br />

Back by popular demand, we will be holding<br />

our second annual Ladies-Only Autocross<br />

School on Saturday, March 10. This is the perfect<br />

opportunity to discover what autocross is all<br />

about, without the pressure of competition, or<br />

the "significant other" lurking about making<br />

faces! Our instructors are Maverick Region<br />

female drivers, with years of experience in<br />

competitive events.<br />

We will be moving through all aspects of<br />

autocross from a beginners' viewpoint, to learn<br />

the rules and procedures of autocross as well<br />

as driving techniques. We encourage driving<br />

the Porsche, but certainly do not wish to limit<br />

Calling All<br />

Porsche Ladies!<br />

Ladies-Only Autocross School<br />

Saturday, March 10th<br />

Calling all Porsche ladies - Again!<br />

our entrants. You may bring the "other vehicle"<br />

if you feel more comfortable (one exception -<br />

no trucks or SUV's). Our goal is to learn car<br />

handling and limitations in a safe and controlled<br />

environment.<br />

Be aware that you will be required to wear<br />

a helmet (Snell 1995 or later). If you have one,<br />

can beg or borrow one, please do so. We have<br />

a limited number of loaner helmets available.<br />

All cars will be inspected by a technical inspector<br />

for safety and readiness. You should have<br />

adequate tire tread condition and good working<br />

seat belts. You will also be required to wear tie<br />

shoes.<br />

Maverick Region Holiday Party 2000<br />

by Wendy Shoffit<br />

Partygoers having a grand time.<br />

Although it took a bit of driving to get to Lucas, the home of<br />

Eric and Karen Erz provided the perfect setting for this year’s holiday<br />

party. More people showed up to celebrate than I’ve seen in<br />

the past few years. Somewhere between 75 and 100 guests<br />

knocked on the Erz’s humongous specially crafted front door.<br />

Their warm wooden décor provided much relief from the<br />

cold wet weather outside. Half of the crowd spent most of the<br />

evening socializing downstairs while munching on all the yummy<br />

covered dishes everyone provided. The other half ventured<br />

upstairs to their fabulous game room, fully equipped with a billiards<br />

table and stand-up arcade game (Galaga – one of my<br />

favorites). A few hotly contested (?) games of pool were played<br />

and nearly everyone upstairs took a shot at besting Eric’s Galaga<br />

high score. It’s hard to tell who was the best (not me), but everyone<br />

had a great time!<br />

Although the kitchen held the majority of the delicious food,<br />

it seemed like the most visited room was the dining room. That<br />

room contained the dessert table! Whether you wanted chocolate,<br />

cheesecake, cookies, or trifle, we had it all. I’m sure everyone<br />

found something to make them drool.<br />

Not only were food and drinks plentiful, but everyone happily<br />

paid their “admission fee” of a new or gently-loved stuffed<br />

animal for the Hope Shelter. As you can clearly see in the picture,<br />

the shelter would be receiving enough toys to give every child<br />

one, two… or fifteen each!<br />

Many thanks go to Eric and Karen who opened up their<br />

home to the whole Maverick bunch. Even though their custombuilt<br />

house had just only recently been finished, it didn’t show.<br />

The atmosphere was truly warm, comfortable, and inviting.<br />

Maybe the next time we can let their championship fly-ball dogs<br />

join in all the fun. If you weren’t there, you missed a fantastic<br />

time! Don’t miss it next year.<br />

Porsche Contesting 3 Classes - Including<br />

Overall - at <strong>2001</strong> Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona<br />

Copy provided by Porsche Motorsport - Pictures from www.porsche.com<br />

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS<br />

Porsches will have their usual strong showing at this year's<br />

Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, as the January 4 - 6, 2000 test days are<br />

showing. Besides the recognizable competitors, NASCAR star Kyle<br />

Petty and actor Paul Newman, round out the list of more than 100<br />

drivers who will be driving Porsches for the <strong>February</strong> 3 - 4 event.<br />

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida - January 5, <strong>2001</strong><br />

More than 30 Porsches, including 17 Porsche 911 GT3 R and<br />

GT3 RS models, will enter the <strong>2001</strong> Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona,<br />

scheduled for <strong>February</strong> 3 - 4 at Daytona International Speedway.<br />

Leading the charge for the checkered flag in America's most<br />

famous endurance race is the #38 Champion Racing Porsche/Lola,<br />

driven by Dorsey Schroeder/Bob Wollek/Hurley Haywood and<br />

Sascha Maassen. The car, which debuted at Sebring almost a year<br />

ago, has gone through an extensive development program, leading<br />

up to its outstanding performance at Daytona test days January 4 - 5,<br />

where the car was third fastest overall.<br />

"We have spent nine days testing here before these 'official'<br />

test days, and each time we've tested, the car has had at least<br />

five new items on it," said Brad Kettler, Champion's crew chief.<br />

"This time, we have been able to concentrate on fine tuning, and<br />

we're very pleased. We have taken five seconds off our lap times<br />

at Daytona since November, and we're ready to compete for<br />

first overall."<br />

Powered by the Le Mans-winning Porsche GT1 engine, the<br />

Champion Lola has been running just behind the Dyson Ford<br />

Riley & Scott and the Intersport Judd Lola during the test days,<br />

which end on January 6.<br />

In the GT class, two teams have dominated testing so far -<br />

both with all-star driver's line-ups. The #31 Petersen<br />

Motorsports/White Lightening Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R<br />

has been fastest so far, with Porsche Cup and Grand America<br />

champion Mike Fitzgerald, American Le Mans Series runner-up<br />

Lucas Luhr, ALMS contender Randy Pobst and Timo Bernhard<br />

sharing the driving duties. G&W Motorsports, which led last<br />

year's race for more than seven hours, is back with its two Porsche<br />

911 GT3 R racers, with the top car - #81 - featuring Grand<br />

American runner-up Darren Law, '99 ALMS champion Cort<br />

Wagner, former World Challenge champion David Murry, and<br />

Matt Drendel as drivers.<br />

In GTS, with the defending champion Dodge Vipers not<br />

entering this year, the race should be a shootout between<br />

Corvettes, the Saleen Mustang, and the Porsche turbos and GT1<br />

race cars. So far in early practice, the #0 Bytzek Motorsports<br />

Porsche GT1 of David Empringham, Scott Maxwell, Klaus Bytzek<br />

and John Brenner has outdistanced the favored factory Corvettes,<br />

including the car being driven by Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jr. The<br />

fastest Porsche 911 Turbo, driven by veteran Larry Schumacher, is<br />

in the top five in class.<br />

Other Porsche notes of interest from Daytona test days :<br />

* David Murry, from Atlanta, GA, has been hired by G&W<br />

Motorsports (as noted above) to replace Porsche SuperCup<br />

champion Patrick Huisman, who has signed a contract in Europe<br />

to drive for Mercedes.<br />

* Kyle Petty, NASCAR veteran and son of Richard Petty, will<br />

step into the #43 Orbit Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RS with Leo<br />

Hindery, Peter Baron, and former Ferrari North American<br />

President Gian Luigi Buitoni.<br />

* Paul Newman, who will be 76 years-old on <strong>February</strong> 25,<br />

will be re-joining his Daytona team from a year ago - with 18<br />

year-old Gunner Jeannette and Michael Brockman as co-drivers<br />

in the #76 Porsche GT1 (former Champion Racing GT1).<br />

16


* Larry Schumacher, who bought the ex-Rohr Motorsports<br />

Porsche GT1 less than three weeks ago, brought the car to the<br />

Speedway for test days, but will be running his Porsche Turbo for<br />

the 24 hour event.<br />

* While the #0 Bytzek Porsche GT1 is running strong, the #01<br />

Bytzek Porsche GT1 will not be racing again any time soon. An<br />

oil fire during the Friday morning session has sidelined the car<br />

indefinitely. Bytzek, who owns four Porsche GT1s, plans to bring<br />

a replacement car to the race next month.<br />

* Neither of the top two Porsche American Le Mans Series<br />

teams - Dick Barbour Racing or Alex Job Racing - have entered<br />

this year's Rolex 24. Both teams have indicated they will participate<br />

in the <strong>2001</strong> ALMS season - which begins March 4 in Texas - but<br />

neither has announced plans or drivers to date.<br />

* Defending Rolex 24 at Daytona GT champions Gabrio<br />

Rosa, Fabio Rosa and Fabio Babini are back for <strong>2001</strong>, driving<br />

this for the Canadian-based Seikel Motorsports in the #56<br />

Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Last year, they drove for the Swiss-based<br />

Haberthur Racing.<br />

* The new racing model of the Porsche 911 has been designated<br />

as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and is almost identical to the Porsche<br />

911 GT3 R. The new car has some updated fittings, a slightly<br />

different front spoiler and rear wing, and other minor changes,<br />

but remains the same for the major components. Current owners<br />

can purchase an update kit from Porsche which incorporates all<br />

the improvements in the new car.<br />

* The race will be televised live - all 24 hours of it - on<br />

Speedvision starting at 12:30 PM on Saturday, <strong>February</strong> 3.<br />

Speedvision pioneered flag-to-flag endurance coverage last year<br />

by televising both the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of<br />

Le Mans.<br />

* The official Porsche web site - www.porsche.com - will<br />

have practice and qualifying information on the Rolex 24 for<br />

all the Porsches entered, and will file stories every three hours<br />

during the race. Other web sites that will follow the overall<br />

event include the Grand American Road Racing site (www.grandam.com),<br />

the ON TRACK site, (www.ontrackonline.com),<br />

Speedvision site (www.speedvision.com), and the CompuServe<br />

site (www.motorsportsforum.com).<br />

Hope Happenings<br />

by Lanean Hughes<br />

GIVE THE GIFT<br />

OF COOKIES!<br />

Neither rain nor sleet kept us away from delivering the<br />

stuffed animals to the shelter on Christmas Day! Cheri<br />

Keehn and I took off in the rain, but the 928 held the road<br />

well, and of course was totally loaded with about 100<br />

stuffed animals and games. The welcome sight of smiles<br />

always makes the trip worthwhile!<br />

Your stuffed animal donations will continue to make a<br />

child or adult happy throughout the year.<br />

We were saddened to hear of the death of one of the<br />

shelter members Rachel Pena, who was only 34 years old,<br />

she delivered a healthy baby girl, but they discovered she<br />

had a brain tumor, and were unable to save her. We will<br />

keep her and her family in our prayers. She left behind<br />

2 other children. I have offered Maverick Region if the<br />

family needs any assistance.<br />

Keep Hoping and I encourage any of you to make a trip<br />

to the shelter.<br />

Diane Johnson (wife of Rich, the 914 guy)<br />

Girl Scout troop will be participating in the<br />

"Gift of Caring" and will be selling girl scout<br />

cookies to be donated to a needy organization.<br />

They have chosen Hope Shelter as the recipient<br />

of their free boxes of cookies. You can help out<br />

by purchasing boxes of cookies to be donated<br />

to the shelter. Each box is $3. Purchasing<br />

begins January 5th. You can reach Diane via<br />

Tech Tip: Loose Distributor Rotor 924s & 944<br />

By Paul Lighthill, Riverside Region, from Porsche Gedanken<br />

A 944 that had recently come out of a maintenance service quit<br />

cold on the owner and would not restart. This was especially embarrassing<br />

since the car’s owner was the daughter of an experienced<br />

Porsche technician and owner of a repair facility. When a cursory<br />

check of the car revealed no spark, it was towed back to the repair<br />

facility for more detailed inspection and testing of the DME sensors<br />

which are located near the flywheel and which provide both timing<br />

and rpm information to the engine management computer.<br />

Prior to replacement of these items, however, the distributor<br />

cap was removed and a much simpler and less costly problem was<br />

discovered: the distributor rotor retaining screw had come out<br />

which had allowed the rotor to twist freely on its shaft.<br />

A review of the factory service manual revealed the reasons for<br />

this malfunction: when the rotor was replaced as part of the service,<br />

the old set screw had been reused without applying a thread locking<br />

compound and instead of applying the special rotor cement that<br />

Porsche specifies, the rotor had been simply slipped on.<br />

When replacing rotors on these models, it is necessary to break<br />

off the old rotor and to clean the rotor shaft thoroughly. Then, prior<br />

to installing the new rotor, the specified adhesive(Porsche part no.<br />

PNA 043.011.00) should be applied to both the shaft and the interior<br />

of the brass fitting which is embedded in the rotor. It is imperative<br />

that the engine be cold when this operation is performed as any heat<br />

will cause the adhesive to immediately take a set, resulting in the new<br />

rotor also having to be broken off as there will not even be time to<br />

properly position the rotor before the adhesive dries. Following the<br />

instructions that come with the adhesive will insure no further<br />

problems.<br />

The rotor set screw may be re-used providing that a mediumstrength<br />

thread locking compound is applied to the threads. Or a<br />

new screw may be purchased from Porsche(part no. 999.218.007.02)<br />

which will have the compound already applied to the threads.<br />

The early 924/944 models still see a lot of track time - Sandy Hodges’ 924S.<br />
