Rally School
By Chris Hart
The great thing about the Maverick Region is there are always a
wide range of events available for the members. Rally 101 was
an event that gave club members a chance to learn the basics of
the sport of road rally. The workshop was conducted and presented by
the club’s own Teri Davis and Juanita Miller. In their own relaxed way,
with the emphasis on having fun we covered Types Of Rallies, Rules &
Terms, Time Speed Distance, Finding The Route, and Rally Exercises.
The agenda provided for breakfast, class instruction, breaks,
lunch, two opportunities to practice what you learned in the field and
behind the wheel before the end of the day rally. Those of us who were
beginners and came alone were paired up with a partner and had just
as much fun as the advanced drivers. The end of the day event was the
Lake Worth Shoreline Rally.
. . . in their own way, with the
emphasis on having fun . . .
In my book it doesn’t get any better than learning how to become
a better driver on a pretty day surrounded by the beauty that can be
found in Texas behind the wheel of a Porsche. Thank you Teri, Juanita,
a very patient partner Mark Gluck and the club for a great event.
With the wide range of driving opportunities and the great members
that are so willing to give of their time, it is no wonder the
Maverick Region is such a successful club.

The facilities inside were superb.
The TCCC campus provided a nice backdrop for this classroom setting.
