Prez Says 

by James Shoffit, Maverick Region President 

The Memorial Day Weekend Club Race 

was a magnificent success! This year’s 

race went even smoother than last 

year’s, and everyone I spoke to attested to 

what a great event it was. 

This was my first time to drive Texas Motor 

Speedway in a DE. I cannot begin to describe 

what a thrill it was! Three days of track time 

meant that I could learn at my own pace (slow) and gradually 

build up speed over the weekend. The Porsche Store, our premier 

sponsor, as well as the many other sponsors (see page 17 for list) 

gave us excellent support in every facet of the event. 

In the mean time, come on out to an event! We have an 

autocross, a time trial, a happy hour at Mondo’s in Addison, 

and three Porsche lunches in July. In addition to our Porsche 

lunches in Addison on the July 30th and in Plano on July 16th, 

we will also continue our new habit of having a lunch in 

Bedford on July 16th. It will again be at the Good Eats on the 

Southeast corner of Bedford Road and 183, starting at 11:30 or 

so. Please RSVP to me at james@shoffit.com if you plan to 

attend the Bedford lunch. We had two new members (Brant 

and Byron Fry) as well as Mark Gluck and Steve Kent show up 

for the last one. We had a great time, but had plenty of room 

for others! 

So, come on out, and join the fun! 

...could learn at my own pace (slow) . . . 

But the real story of the event was the people – not just the 

organizers, but the dozens of volunteers that stepped forward 

and helped us out. We were overjoyed to see how many people 

pitched in, and truly appreciated all their effort. This contributed 

greatly to the overall success of the event. 

Which brings me to the next topic – Parade 2004. Since 

Maverick Region is hosting Parade in 2004, we are going to 

need even more volunteers than we had for the TMS Club 

Race! It will be a monumental effort that we have already 

started organizing. It will take us the full two years to get ready 

for it, so please start thinking about ways you might like to 

help. We will be making more specific requests as we figure 

out exactly how things will work, and will inform you of our 

progress every step of the way.

Because I Said So 

by Wendy Shoffit, Editor 

I’m speechless...Well, okay...maybe not completely 

speechless (as hell has yet to freeze 

over)! I have so many wonderful articles 

sitting on my desk that I cannot possibly fit 

them all in to this month’s issue. I am so grateful 

to have all of you thinking about writing articles 

(and doing so) without any prompting from 

me. I wish I could double this issue to include 

everything, but unfortunately that’s not in the budget. So, if 

you’ve written something for me and don’t see it in this issue, 

don’t despair. I solemnly promise to get them in within the next 

few months! As for the rest of you budding columnists, don’t let 

this discourage you from putting your thoughts down on paper. 

The fall and winter months sometimes get a bit on the lean side 

and I don’t want to longingly remember the “good ole days.” Keep 

them coming and thanks so much! 

Now for some exciting news...we’ve been talking about it all 

year and it’s finally here. Late this month we will be leaving for the 

Porsche Parade in Boise. There are nearly 30 Maverick Region 

members attending, most of whom will be driving. As always, 

Parade promises to be a spectacular event. While in Boise, we will 

be officially presenting our Parade 2004 bid and proposal. We’ve 

already had several meetings regarding the ‘04 event and things 

are humming right along. If you want to get involved, contact me 

and I’ll help you get to the right person. In the meantime, for 

those of us trekking to Boise, Taxi Breithaupt has come up with a 

suggestion on how we can do our very own salute to Idaho. She 

Maverick Minutes 

by Andy Mears, Secretary 

The meeting was called to order just after 

7:00 PM. 

First piece of business a motion was 

passed to purchase more inventory for the 

Goodie Store. Sales have been good and need 

to replace what’s been sold. Next, Dennis 

Chamberlin discussed the rotation of Happy 

Hour location as well as other factors influencing Happy Hour. 

He also shared some membership demographics based on 

where everyone lives. 

Joe McGlohen put forth a recommendation for the 

Maverick Region to purchase additional radios as well as 

compatible headsets. A motion was passed to purchase 5 radios 

and 10 headsets. 

After much discussion, a motion was passed to extend use 

of the Internet PayPal to other venues. The goal is to offer the 

service to anyone that wishes to pay for events using PayPal and 

the club would only charge additional fees to cover the cost of 

the service. As always, members may continue to pay for events 

by cash or check. 

has suggested we 

all make “potato 

hats.” We’ve mentioned 

it before, 

but now she has a 

concrete photo of 

what one can look 

like (see right). 

Just how does she 

come up with this 

stuff? 

Good luck to all the Mavericks attending Parade. I hope we 

will all end up with a plethora of trophies to show how great our 

region is! 

Dear Jan [Mayo], 

I would like to thank you for the regular forwarding 

of “Slipstream.” I still have my 1988 911, but unfortunately 

it is not with me here in Greece. I do however have 

the opportunity to derive my joy from it on my periodic 

visits to Dallas, which keep me in touch with “home.” 

Best regards, 

Peter A. Alivizatos, M.D. (Athens, Greece) 

Jimmy Carter and Eric Erz reported on their multi-region 

concours meeting in Austin and plans are in the works for 

a Zone 5 Concours to be held October 19 in Austin and

Teri Davis updated us on the plans for the Maverick Region 

summer retreat. The location will be “The Cliffs” on Possum 

Kingdom Lake the weekend of August 23,24,25. For information

Happy Hour At Ciudad 

By Stacy Waters 

Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, 

Dee Lersch, and Mark Gluck 

For me, one of the highlights of 

this month’s Happy Hour 

came in the form of a single 

statement made by Mark Gluck. 

Carrying on small talk as one does 

at the beginning of Happy Hour, I 

asked Mark why Ciudad was selected 

for this month’s event. Mark said 

the idea was to create a giant smiley 

face pattern across the DFW Metroplex. Okay – good enough. I 

like a person with a different sense of humor and therefore Mark 

and I get along pretty well. 

really learn so much from other members about the different 

events such as Autocross, Club Races, Driver Education, Time 

Trials, and Tours. 

The July Happy Hour will be at Mondo’s, one block north of 

the Galleria. I plan to be there for sure. By the way, that is the 

left eye of the smiley face! 

...learned how to properly pronounce 

the vehicle’s name . . . 

This initial exchange set the tone for the evening. I met 

more unique personalities on this one outing than in all of my 

Happy Hours combined – and it proved to be one of the most 

exciting events I have attended. The crowd (about 30 large) was 

a great mix of all types and the bar staff was almost too generous 

with their pour. Do you think that might have had a little something 

to do with the fun factor?

Brenda Chamberlain, Stacey Waters, and Tinker Edwards 

The Mexico City-style cuisine was sophisticated and delicious 

with a variety of dishes that seemed to please most. 

Being a “newbie” to the club, I feel more and more welcome 

with each event. My husband insisted that I attend the first 

Happy Hour with him a few months ago. I really dreaded it. I 

mean, how in the world could I spend a night talking about 

Porsches? I just learned how to properly pronounce the vehicle’s 

name for goodness sake! But the most pleasant thing happened 

on the first Happy Hour night. I made several new friends and 

there was no pressure to name every Porsche model. More 

importantly, I was spending time with genuinely friendly people 

with a variety of interesting stories and Porsche advice. From 

then on, I have not missed a Happy Hour. If you haven’t been to 

one, I encourage you to do so. It’s quite simply one of the best 

ways to become familiar and comfortable with MRPCA. You can

Pecan Pie, Danny, Big Bucks & Roads of East Texas 

By Bob Bianconi 

Once again Tourmeister Ted Glover and wife Bonnie have 

served the region well. Ted and Bonnie hosted a two-day 

tour through the back roads of East Texas with a short 

excursion into Louisiana. The tour started bright and early 

Saturday morning, May 18th. This is our third tour with 

Maverick and we were looking forward to seeing parts of Texas 

we would most likely never have found on our own. We were not 

to be disappointed. 

promptly at 8 AM and we were treated to lush green fields, tall 

trees and hardly a car in sight except for the line of Porsches 

stretching out in front. How does Ted find these roads, we kept 

asking ourselves. All too quick it was lunch time and we were 

pulling into Nacogdoches and the Clear Springs Restaurant. At 

lunch, it some how slipped that Jo-Ann and I have been in Texas 

almost 3 years and I haven’t yet had chicken-fried steak or Pecan 

Pie. This nasty slip would later come back to haunt me. 

Photo by Bob Bianconi 

The hills were nice. 

. . . would later come back to 

haunt me . . . 

Following a group photo at the train station, we were back in 

our cars heading towards Louisiana. Jo-Ann wanted to know if 

we were heading towards a Shreveport casino to which we all kept 

telling her no! So from that point on, every stop had to include a 

gas station with a Lotto machine for her chance at the big bucks. 

Into Louisiana we went, stopping for gas way out in the 

boonies. While we were stopped, Brian in the yellow Boxster 

whips out the windex and proceeds to wipe down his car (well, 

ok, just the front). I guess he wants to keep it REALLY clean; 

hmmmm, maybe a future concours chairman? 


Twelve cars showed up for the tour. Leading the pack was Ted 

in his turbo carrera followed by a pair of 944’s driven by Doug 

Macall and Jay Easley. There was a 928 piloted by Jim Mayzurk. 

The 928, I believe, was voted the best sounding car on the tour – 

nothing like the low growl of a V-8. There were three 911’s 

(excluding Ted’s): Arnold and Jessie Stout, Andy Miller, and Chris 

Smith and her son Craig. Andy was driving a brand new C4 Cab; 

not to be out done, Leon Frenkel was also driving his new car – a 

spanking new 911 turbo. Rounding out the pack were three of the 

best Porsches (ok, I’m severely biased, so shoot me); a silver “S” 

driven by Jim and Margie Chadwick, a pastel yellow Boxster 

driven by Brian “I have the cleanest car” Guitard and wife Terrie; 

and my own Boxster. Caboose on the Porsche train was 

Webmaster, Mike Oakes, in his BMW M3 roadster. 

Spectacular roads and scenery were complimented by 

spectacular weather. It was 72 degrees and sunny. We headed east 

What a motley crew. 

Photo by Jay Easley 

In front of the train station. 

As we were taking our break, a young Louisianan stopped by 

in his pickup truck and was admiring our cars. He said that he 

had a bunch of Porsches at home. We all thought, yeah right; 

remember this was way, way out in the middle of nowhere. Well 

no sooner did the young fellow, Danny, leave, when he returns 

driving an arctic silver 996. Needless to say, we all had a good 

laugh. Never know where you’re gonna find them thar porches. 

Next up was Natchitoches, La. a quaint little town along the 

Cane River. Talk about picturesque. If you haven’t been there, put 

it on your “to do” list. Lots of shops and restaurants and a nice 

riverfront. And as they say, getting there is half the fun… 

By late afternoon the crowd was getting hungry so it was 

off to the Mariner’s restaurant just outside Natchitoches 

(pronounced nak-a-tish). It was right on the water and seemed 

like the perfect end to a great day of driving with new friends. We 

10

were all full after our meal (at least I was) when a mysterious 

piece of pecan pie showed up in front of me. Well, I have to say 

that, yes indeed, it was good. Thanks to all at the ‘other table’ who 

made sure I tried something new. I was worried the rest of the 

weekend that a chicken fried steak might show up; but luckily 

we’ll put that one off until the fall tour… It was an hour’s drive 

back to the Texas side and Nacogdoches and we were all pretty 

much beat from the day’s drive. 

Sunday we were back on the road for more scenic roads, 

twisties and rolling hills. We drove though parts of Davey 

Crockett National Forrest and then finished out the tour with 

lunch in Palestine. From there it was back through Athens and 

home. All in all, it was a great weekend. Thanks, Ted and Bonnie.

Hollis “Whit” Whittenberg 

July 7, 1918 - June 1, 2002 

God saw you getting tired 

And a cure was not to be. 

So he put his arms around you 

And whispered, “come to me.” 

With tearful eyes we watched you, 

And saw you pass away. 

And though we loved you dearly, 

We could not make you stay. 

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working 

hands were put to rest. 

God broke our hearts to prove to us 

He only takes the best. 

Our prayers go out to the 

Ussery family for strength and 

comfort as they mourn the loss 

of Fran’s father.

What do you get when you mix 60 Club Racers, 60 Drivers’ 

Education participants, 15 concours cars, over 60 volunteers, and 

great sponsors? Just about the best club race EVER! 

Maverick Region was the host of the Memorial Weekend 2002 

Club Race and DE at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS). Hill Country 

Region’s David Gross says about the facility, “I'd never been to TMS 

and at first sight I was overwhelmed! Hey, I'm used to TWS or MSR 

- this place was like Enron Field er... I mean Astros Field... crossed 

with the Talladega Speedway. Everything was so new and shiny! 

The bleachers for 250,000 of your closest friends; the Speedway 

Club restaurant with valet parking and a view of the track; the 

condos and luxury skyboxes; the heliport that will accommodate 50 

or so helicopters! The magnitude and the opulence of the place 

were amazing!” 

The new start location was great for the drivers . . . but required a little balance. 

The gates opened at TMS late Friday afternoon, allowing for 

early registration, a chalk talk session, and the orientation meeting. 

Registration and tech seemed to go smoothly and most people 

seemed to appreciate a good beginning. The drivers who attended 

the chalk talk were treated to an in-car video presentation of the 

track and were happy they were there. All 5 (yes, there were only 5) 

rookie drivers who were supposed to be there participated in the 

orientation meeting, so no one needed a hand slapping. 

The driving festivities got underway a little late on Saturday 

morning, May 24th. The racers were divided into two groups, the 

“Smiley Faces” and the “Stars” while the DE’ers were the “Frogs” 

and the “Chili Peppers.” Who else but the Mavericks would think of 

such names?The 25 minute sessions were shortened a small amount 

on Saturday to make up for the lost time in the morning. There 

were bound to be a few small “hiccups,” most of which were invisible 

to everyone else. We were relieved! 

Even the chicane, which was a sore spot from last year’s race, 

was improved. As John Crosby writes, “The infamous chicane from 

last year was replaced with three bundles of tires which resembled 

a big slalom. It was still one car at a time, but the last tire stack was 

offset about 25’, thereby opening up the exit. Pylons were stacked in 

front and on the sides to make the chicane more visible. It was 

aligned so that cars had an escape route on either side if they 

came in too hot. It allowed entry speeds of about 60 mph with a 

gradually accelerating exit. There was only one minor incident 

caused by the chicane when the tire bundle was side swiped. 



The concours cars at attention and available for inspection! 

Missing the chicane was an automatic black flag and a stop and go 

penalty. The drivers tested the limits of the chicane during the first 

couple of practice sessions and there were numerous black flags. 

During the races however there were only one or two stop and go 

penalties. Race starts were done on the infield straight, thus alleviating 

the congestion into the chicane on the race starts. The flagging 

crews were very accommodating and this worked very well.” 

The weather on Saturday and Sunday couldn’t have been better. 

The DE sessions went very smoothly as well as the Club Race 

practices, qualifying sessions, and races (fun and sprint). There 

were a few minor driving incidents all weekend, including one 

regarding the chicane, but none were very serious. (Of course, that 

is from an event organizer’s standpoint…I’m sure the drivers 

weren’t very happy about it!) 

On Sunday, not only was there racing to watch, but concours 

chairman Jimmy Carter held a casual concours event out at the 

track. There were 15+ cars on display. After the sprint race was 

...not even a single close call. 

Amazing . . . 

finished, 6-8 race cars even joined the show and shine event. A 

group of young boys from one of our sponsors, Enviroshine, 

worked diligently to make those race cars shine (for that event and 

all weekend)! It was quite a site to see. Maverick Member, Karen 

Erz, created beautiful plaques for the concours winners. 

Sunday evening’s dinner at the track was absolutely delicious, 

despite warmer than usual temperatures in the infield café. We had 

been battling the broken air conditioner all weekend and it was 

unfortunate the track staff couldn’t get it working for the awards

to pass out the last of the Rice Krispy treats.

dinner. In spite of the heat, everyone seemed to have a very good 

time. In addition to announcing the class winners, several special 

awards were presented that night: 

Best Prepared Car – David Gross 

Best Rookie – Scott Orr 

Best Novice- Wally Ruiz 

Best Braking – Glen Gatlin 

Northstar Motorsports Award – Wally Ruiz 

Worker Choice – 

Richard Wilkenfeld (Smiley Faces) 

Glen Gatlin (Stars) 

The only bad weather we had was on Monday when rain 

loomed in the distance and finally fell at lunchtime and continued 

into the afternoon, during the scheduled enduro race. About the 

race, John Crosby wrote, “The enduro groups were already quite 

small and with a number of drivers indicating that they were not 

planning to race in the rain, the enduro groups were combined. This 

was discussed at the driver’s meeting and there were no objections. 

Even though these groups had no practice time together and were 

Bryan Henderson running with full lights and wipers in the rainy enduro. 


racing in the rain on one of the fastest tracks in the country, there 

was not even a single close call. Amazing.” 

Corner (#7) worker, Darron Shaffer mentioned in an email 

that not only were the Club Racers clean, but also during the DE 

run session in the rain there were *NO* flags thrown the entire time 

(except for a few passing flags). Everyone seemed to be behaving 

themselves nicely. 

Monday finished with a short awards presentation and happy 

hour. The grins from the racers and DE drivers went from ear to 

ear. Apparently racing in the rain is extremely exciting! Just ask 

someone watching the race about the “puddle pass” by Jim Buckley. 

Better yet, ask Jim about it! I’m sure he’d love to tell you.

Crosby summed the weekend up: “Another terrific event hosted 

by Maverick Region. The track operations, corner workers, and 

the region volunteers were all outstanding. The hospitality presented 

by the region was second to none. Every detail was attended 

to in advance from the 996 turbo pace car to the pit stop timing 

crew. There is nothing negative to report and there is very little that 

could be improved upon. 

Noteworthy performances were presented by Event Chair Glen 

Gatlin, Registrar Wendy Shoffit, Hospitality and Sponsorship Chair 

Lanean Hughes, Corner Worker Coordinator Joe McGlohen, and 

Steward’s Assistant Tom Snodgrass. There were obviously many 

others that also contributed.”

Here are some other comments regarding the weekend: 

The club racers were amazing with a GT-3 running around 170 

MPH and blowing through the chicane at around 70 MPH! It was 

a beautiful site. Porsches everywhere, it was easy to get bitten, I 

hope to club race in the future. You just can't go out and not want 

to participate. All the volunteers did a superb job, no complaints 

about anything. – Doug Molny (DE #179) 


Kay Liebel prepping her C4S for another DE session. 

It was one the best of the year for me... you guys are great! - 

John Crosby 

Congrats to all of you for a great event -- the support and the 

hospitality are unmatched anywhere. - Donna Amico, Chief Race 

Scrutineer 

I had a great time at Maverick's club race. It was an experience 

I waited ALL my whole life for and will never forget. The people 

were really wonderful and helpful. - Frank Hinds (Club Racer #264) 

The Maverick folks were out in great numbers and were so well 

organized that the event went without disruption and I honestly 

don't know how a volunteer organization can do so much with so 

many so well but it made for a wonderful experience in which I am 

delighted to have been included. I am looking forward to the next 

one. - Scott Orr (Club Racer #61) 

Kevin Procaccino catching some air in the infield. 

I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say thanks for 

everything this weekend. You guys did a great job. From the grid 

workers to the corner workers to the hospitality and award ceremony, 

it was first rate! I was proud to be a sponsor but even more 

proud to be a racer from the Maverick Region! - Kevin Procaccino 

(Club Racer #419) 

MANY THANKS! It was another outstanding event! Even 

running in the rain on my very used & abused Kumhos was fun. 

(I was surprised how well they actually stuck) You guys did a great 

job! - Jay Walker (DE #525) 

I also would like to reiterate the many thanks to all the sponsors, 

organizers, volunteers and corner workers. TMS is a great 

facility and I had a blast. The corner workers did an awesome job 

out there in that heat & humidity (few corner stations were without 

shade). - Noby Takahashi (DE #257)

May Tech Session at Park Place 

By Doug Molny 

The service and parts department at Park Place Porsche 

made this event very special. We arrived around 8:30 

AM Saturday May 11th to donuts, orange juice, and 

coffee. Once the parts department opened they handed out 

GT-2 T-Shirts, Porsche hats and key chains, This was an unexpected 

treat. 

About 7 Maverick members show up and we immediately 

proceeded to install 2 Corbeau racing seats in my 1979 911SC. 

We determined that new holes had to be drilled into the seat 

mounts to accommodate larger bolts to hold down the seat 

brackets. This worked just fine thanks to Jimmy Hayes’ suggestions. 

Upon completion I placed my helmet on my head and 

sat down only to find my head sticking out of the sunroof! It 

was obvious that the seat pads were too thick and had to be cut 

down. We decided to wait to do that on the following Monday. 

We then moved on to installing the Pagid Orange brake 

pads which only took a few minutes. There were several of us 

who have never done this before and wanted to learn how. We 

were amazed how easy it is.

The alignment machine. 

minutes. My front and rear end are displayed in the pictures 

shown in this article. We learned that in just 6-months 

my alignment had changed significantly enough that these 

adjustments will be crucial to the cars ability to handle and 

corner correctly. 

. . . only to find my head sticking out 

of the sunroof . . 


The race seats waiting to be installed. 

Also available were corner weight scales which are placed 

under each wheel to check the load each wheel carries. The 

result is the ability to adjust the weight each wheel carries to 

the ground which effects the car diagonally as one wheel may 

be lighter and would effect the corner entry, exit and braking. 

This adjustment is available to everyone and I would suggest 

this at least twice a year. Thanks again to Park Place Porsche 

for hosting this tech session we look forward to the next one. 

We then moved into another building for the Hunter 

Alignment Machine which is had digital cameras and targets 

for precise alignment. This is a computerized piece of equipment 

that measures the cross camber, caster and toe-in for the 

front and rear suspension, it produces measurements in a 

digital format down to minutes which 1 degree would equal 60

Autocross # 2 - Mineral Wells 

By Noby Takahashi 


Quite a few Mavericks (and non-Mavs) wandered out to 

Mineral Wells again for the second Time Trial/Autocross 

weekend of the season. There was a very large turnout on 

Saturday for the Time Trial on Course #2. Because SCCA had their 

Regional AX at TMS on Sunday, we only had 2 non-Porsches for a 

well-designed course by Kevin Hardison. 

Anastasia Zaruba getting into the swing of it. 

Saturday morning started off with a slight mist/drizzle. At 

least it wasn’t a hailstorm like we encountered at the last event! I 

had a chance to check out some of the ‘changes’ to Corner 2 while 

taking out a Honda S2000 driver to show him the course. Few small 

potholes and loads of gravel required some adjustments to the line. 

A few of us stayed around to help Cody and Kevin set up the 

autocross course. At first, we were a bit mystified in the back of the 

truck with the course; we all thought that Kevin had finally lost it! 

After driving the course a few times on Saturday night, I knew that 

it was going to be a blast on Sunday! But even before we got started 

on Sunday morning, there were a few problems. A huge storm 

rolled through on Saturday night, knocking over the Porta-Potties 

(Fran the Windex Lady, thank you for cleaning them), the timing 

trailer off its jacks, and most of the cones on the course. Yikes! Just 

minor obstacles, we managed to start the event with minimal delay. 

...thought that Kevin had finally lost it... 

I think everyone enjoyed Kevin’s course, there was lots of 

positive feedback. I even beat the Cockroach (granted it wasn’t Ed’s 

times). That guy in the black SC (with cheater tires?) sent me off to 

the cleaners on this day. Wendy had some awesome times over the 

weekend and her screams of joy could be heard over in Cool. 



If you’re gonna hit a cone, do it RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE! 

(Wendy Shoffit) 

Check out the wing on Carl Amond’s 914! 

Not sure what happened, but I managed to drop over 6 

seconds from last year and almost beat ‘Too Damn Fast’ Chuck 

Machala. Chuck showed up with his brand new Kumho Victoracers 

and I tried to give him some ‘friendly’ advice on tire pressure 

(“Chuck, I think you want to start them at 38F/40R cold!”). For 

some reason, he didn’t heed my words of wisdom. At least I didn’t 

let some guy in a black SC beat me! 

Thank you James, Wendy, Cody, Kevin, Mr. Nancy Dugan, Ed 

and all the others that helped make this another awesome weekend 

out in Mineral Wells. 

With everything else that is going on, the next event won’t be 

until end of June. Be warned, I’m scheduled to design the autocross 

course. I’ll be trying to come up with some remote-controlled 

cones to fly out in front of ‘Too Damn Fast’ Chuck (or I’ll pay off 

the corner workers to pull the fishing line taped to the cones….).

Dining a la Cars 

by Christy Sears 

Prior to May 16th, my experience of Mayo Performance had 

been to pull up outside to drop off or pick up Cody when our 

914 has been in for repairs or improvements. After a recent 

repair stint lasting several weeks, I figured it was about time I 

checked out our 914’s home away from home. The annual May at 

Mayo’s dinner seemed the perfect opportunity. 

you can get involved. As we digested (BBQ and Parade info), we 

headed outdoors to get a last look at all the assembled cars. Pretty 

soon, the rumble of Richard Fisher’s Chevy V8 engine (in a 914 no 

less!) drew a crowd in the driveway. But before long, the mosquitoes 

and Cody’s weariness from a day of driving won out, and we 

called it a night. 

Many thanks to the following for a great evening: Ed Mayo 

for all his hard work in getting the shop ready for visitors, Ussery 

Printing for co-sponsoring the event (supplying all the table decorations 

and sidewalk chalk for the kids), and Eric Erz for putting 

it all together. If you haven’t had the experience of fine dining in 

an auto shop, make sure to mark your calendar for next year. See 

you in May, at Mayo’s. 

The Mavericks filled up the shop while enjoying the great barbeque. 

The Saturday of May at Mayo’s coincided with the Hill 

Country Region Drivers’ Education event at Motorsport Ranch. 

Although many Maverick Region members spent the day negotiating 

Rattlesnake and the off-camber turn at Ricochet (See honey, 

I do listen when you dissect the course!), we had a great turnout 

for dinner. As guests arrived, the lot in front of Mayo’s was filled 

with beautiful Porsches – the spectrum ranged from the Shoffits’ 

911 (fresh from a day o’ spinning at MSR) to Rich Johnson’s pristine 

yellow 914. 

. . . the experience of fine dining in 

an auto shop. . . 


Teri Davis and Jan Mayo worked the crowd 

looking for volunteers to help at the 2004 Parade. 

Cody and I were a little late arriving, but in plenty of time to 

get two helpings of BBQ from Main Street BBQ and our choice 

from the array of ice cold beverages. After dinner, Teri Davis presented 

a slide show explaining the effort and fun that will be 

involved in hosting Parade in 2004 – watch Slipstream to see how

Mini Tech Tip - Batteries 

by John Halla 

To fill cells in your Porsche's battery, try using a turkey baster. 

The model appropriated from my kitchen has a plastic tube about 10 

inches long, and a rubber squeeze bulb. The tube's diameter allows 

plunging it into the neck of a gallon jug of distilled water. 

Just plunge and squeeze. When you release, there is a enough water 

to replenish one cell in a 12 volt battery. If you need two squeezes, your 

battery was really low. 

Batteries need to be filled before the summer season. Electrolyte 

(the liquid in batteries) should cover the tops of the plates in each cell. 

EXOTIC CAR & BIKE SHOW 

. . . If you need two squeezes. . . 

I like to keep mine just below the bottom of the filler tube that 

the caps screw into. Using the baster and a flash light, one can add 

precisely the amount of distilled water that each cell needs, without the 

messy overflow that may occur with other types of battery fillers that 

have check valves in their stems. 

This is especially helpful for some early 911's were access to the 

battery is only obtained after the spare has been pulled out of the trunk. 

Once you have used a kitchen device for battery work, it becomes 

a garage only tool. This is because you probably pick up some sulfuric 

acid on the tip of the baster.
