Prez Says<br />

by James Shoffit, Maverick Region President<br />

Unfortunately, I am prohibited from talking<br />

too much about Parade in this issue – next month is<br />

the full writeup about all the fun we had. But I can<br />

tell the story of us getting up there and back.<br />

1,800 miles of driving – each way -- with a 5<br />

year old in the car. Who would have thought it could<br />

go so smoothly? No flats, no tickets, no trailer<br />

problems to speak of. Ok, so the running lights on<br />

the trailer didn’t work, but since we always stopped around 7:00 PM<br />

for the night, that posed no problem at all.<br />

Jasmine handled the trip very well. She had her toys, her games, a<br />

PlayStation II, DVD player, VCR, and plenty of books to read. She<br />

proved her stamina on the trip up when we arrived in Trinidad,<br />

Colorado after driving over 600 miles. When asked if she wanted to get<br />

out of the car for a while or drive another hour and a half to get to<br />

Pueblo, she exclaimed, “Let’s keep on going, Daddy!”<br />

The trip up took 3 days. I had budgeted 4 days, since I wanted to<br />

go several of the places I had lived as a child. Day 1 brought us to<br />

Pueblo, and Day 2 started so early that we took a quick detour through<br />

Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. What amazing scenery! And<br />

all of those tight mountain roads (include a complete turnaround on<br />

a 2-lane road) with a Porsche on a trailer behind our Expedition!<br />

Back on the memory tour, we stopped briefly in Rawlins,<br />

Wyoming, and found the exact place I used to live. What a dump!<br />

Then on to Rock Springs to find the mountain I used to climb<br />

as a child. I had no idea if I was remembering things accurately or<br />

not (childhood memories are often a little askew), but as we<br />

approached the general area, I spotted the mountain, nearly exactly as<br />

I remembered it from so long ago. We drove right up to the base and<br />

found some of the places I used to play.<br />

The final memory stop on Day 2 was in Evanston, Wyoming. We<br />

lived there twice when I was a kid. My dad worked in seismograph and<br />

hunted all over Wyoming and Utah for oil reserves, so we traveled<br />

around quite a bit. I found where I used to live, and my best friend’s<br />

house – an enchanting, magical Victorian house that had three stories<br />

and a secret passageway from the kitchen all the way to the attic. And<br />

a silver-leaf maple in the front yard that had doubled in size.<br />

Then we went by my elementary school. I couldn’t find a single<br />

thing that had changed since I attended Kindergarten, and later 3rd<br />

and 4th grades there. It was exactly as I remembered it. A sign on the<br />

door said it had closed, but no mention of when it ceased operation.<br />

There were only 5 classrooms in the building, and most classes had<br />

about 10-15 kids each. Amazing how little had changed.<br />

Day 3 took us to the Mormon Temple in downtown Salt Lake,<br />

then to the Great Salt Lake, and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Jasmine<br />

scraped up some salt to show her friends back in Texas. (No, I didn’t<br />

pull the Porsche off the trailer and try to find the top speed – our home<br />

tracks are plenty capable of extracting every ounce of performance out<br />

of my car).<br />

Twin Falls, Idaho was one of the biggest surprises. We drove<br />

through the town wondering what all the fuss was about. Then we saw<br />

a big bridge up ahead. We had no idea that it was hundreds of feet wide<br />

and hundreds of feet down to the valley below! The lush vegetation in<br />

the basin was just amazing. Many spectacular pictures were taken there<br />

as well.<br />

Now that everyone is sound asleep, I suppose I should talk about<br />

what a great vacation going to Parade can be – great for the whole<br />

family! Our family certainly enjoys the outings, and since Parade<br />

moves around from place to place, we get to see a new part of the<br />

country each year.<br />

Locally, we have a few events coming up quickly. The Board<br />

meeting has been moved up to <strong>September</strong> 4th. Our autocross<br />

season resumes <strong>September</strong> 14th – THIS IS A SATURDAY – at<br />

Pennington Field in Bedford. On the 17th, we have our Porsche<br />

Lunches at the Good Eats in Bedford and Plano. The Happy Hour<br />

on the 19th is our Second Annual Moonlight At The Oasis on Joe<br />

Pool Lake in Grand Prairie. Bring bikes, rollerblades, jogging shoes,<br />

or just relax (like I will).<br />

Then on the weekend of the 21st of <strong>September</strong>, we will be having<br />

our Drivers’ Education event at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson,<br />

sponsored by Boardwalk Porsche (formerly The Porsche Store). Come<br />

on out and watch if you want to find out what all the fuss is about!<br />

Last but not least, the Exotic Feline Tour will be on <strong>September</strong><br />

18th. See page 3 for all the details.<br />

We’ve got something for everyone, so come on out, and join<br />

the fun!<br />

Because I Said So<br />

by Wendy Shoffit, Editor<br />

It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since<br />

the terrorist attacks on <strong>September</strong> 11th of last<br />

year. So much has happened this year. I’m sure<br />

the media will be inundating us with a recap of it<br />

all, so I certainly won’t get into it here. All of this,<br />

however, makes me want to hug my family a little<br />

longer and a little tighter. I would imagine you feel<br />

the same way.<br />

I have enjoyed putting this issue together. I am finally catching<br />

up with printing all the wonderful articles so many people have provided<br />

to me. I still have a few more to go, but I’m getting there! I hope<br />

you enjoy the variety of articles and authors in this issue. Since I’m<br />

running out of other articles…you know what you need to do. *grin*<br />

As James mentioned, Parade coverage will be seriously limited<br />

this month. I want to include it all in next month. It was quite a trip!<br />

The pictures and stories are wonderful. Maybe I’ll get two months in<br />

a row where publishing <strong>Slipstream</strong> is a lot of fun. Not that it’s ever not<br />

fun… it’s just ‘extry’ this time!<br />

As others talk about the Maverick events, I’d like to draw your<br />

attention to a few non-Maverick ones. First up, on Wed. <strong>September</strong><br />

11th, the Speedway Children’s Charities are hosting a “Deep in the<br />

Heart of Texas” gala at Texas Motor Speedway. This could be your<br />

opportunity to meet an IRL driver and do a good thing for<br />

charity. See page 13 for all the details or contact Lanean Hughes at<br />

(972) 484-3040 or Lhughes@fmstech.com.<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Andy Mears, Secretary<br />

The regular monthly Board Meeting was held<br />

on August 7, <strong>2002</strong> at the home of James and<br />

Wendy Shoffit. The meeting was preceded by<br />

dinner and a fresh-made dessert.<br />

The meeting was brought to order at 7:00 PM<br />

but with no particular agenda except what notes<br />

James had jotted down just minutes before the meeting<br />

started. First up was the official announcement<br />

that Maverick Region’s bid to host the 2004 PCA National Parade was<br />

accepted from the many bids, read as few. Despite the competition, we<br />

were selected to host the next three Parades as well….just kidding. The<br />

team lead by Jan Mayo created an impressive presentation.<br />

Next up was a recap of the many awards won by Mavericks at<br />

Parade <strong>2002</strong>, look for the article in next month’s issue.<br />

Dennis Chamberlain gave an update of the last happy hour and<br />

the plans for the few remaining happy hours left this year. Check the calendar<br />

and come out and share a round of drinks and dinner with the<br />

same folks that share your passion for Porsches.<br />

Teri Davis reminded everyone that Maverick Retreat/Round-up<br />

weekend is this month and that they need to make their reservations<br />

ASAP.<br />

Autocross chair, Cody Sears, updated us on the upcoming<br />

Photo by Dennis Chamberlain<br />

Another event you might have missed (page 23) is the Southwest<br />

Airlines 4th Annual CNS Classic Ride show on Fri. <strong>September</strong> 27th.<br />

It looks like it will be a hoot!<br />

There is so much going on that I would find it hard believe that<br />

you could ever be bored! That’s one thing I’m so thankful for PCA.<br />

There is always something going on.<br />

On a final note, BIG GIGANTIC CONGRATULATIONS to<br />

Lanean Hughes! After getting advice from several members, putting<br />

up with endless teasing from even more members, she finally found<br />

her Porsche, a 1987 944 Turbo (previously belonging to Don<br />

Meredith). She held true to her belief that when the right car came<br />

along, she would know. Now she can actually come to PORSCHE<br />

club events in her PORSCHE. Congrats again…you deserve it!<br />

Lanean and “Red Hot Red”<br />

autocrosses on <strong>September</strong> 14th to be held in-town at Pennington Field<br />

and October 19th in Mineral Wells. Also Bill Dugan, Time Trial chair,<br />

updated us on the upcoming two-day time trial October 5th and 6th.<br />

An important discussion was held regarding <strong>Slipstream</strong> costs,<br />

including postage rates, advertising rates and circulation numbers.<br />

A motion was passed that advertising rates should be raised after the<br />

advertising chair researches how much is an acceptable amount to be<br />

competitive with other similar publications. All advertisers will be given<br />

ample notice before any rate increases go into effect.<br />

Lanean Hughes presented the list of nominees for the 2003 elected<br />

board seats. For President, Keith Olcha; Vice President, Noby Takahashi;<br />

Secretary, Mimi Spreen; and Treasurer, Bob Knight. The ballot for<br />

election will appear in the October <strong>Slipstream</strong>.<br />

The meeting was closed at 8:23 PM. The next board meeting is<br />

scheduled for <strong>September</strong> 4 at the same time and location.<br />

Maverick Region PCA Board<br />

Meetings are held once a month.<br />

The meetings are open to all PCA members and<br />

your suggestions and opinions are welcome.<br />

And there’s free food!<br />

Happy Hour At Mondo’s<br />

by Tinker Edwards<br />

Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain,<br />

Dee Lersch, and Mark Gluck<br />

The July happy hour took us to<br />

Mondo’s in the Galleria area,<br />

and I believe this is was our<br />

third happy hour there. They have a<br />

very eclectic menu, a great list of<br />

wines by the glass, plenty of Porsche<br />

parking, and space to mingle.<br />

Mondo’s holds a special spot<br />

in Dennis Chamberlain’s heart,<br />

without even taking the food into consideration. Imagine<br />

attending your first Porsche event, before even taking delivery of<br />

your new Porsche, to find out from John Hrad that, yes, his<br />

Boxster S was on the truck that had arrived at the Porsche Store<br />

that day! This was May of 2000. Well, you just had to be there to<br />

see the grin on Dennis’ face, which lasted the whole evening.<br />

Come to think of it, he’s still grinning.<br />

...to see the grin on Dennis’face ...<br />

This happy hour had 42 members, including new members<br />

John and Dorothy Teichgraeber, Ty Staviski, and Michael Scott<br />

Rankin. Long time member Jack Griffin was attending his first<br />

happy hour, and so was Pat Benson, who drove across town from<br />

the Ft. Worth area. Also, George Edwards was attending for his<br />

first time. We must’ve really enjoyed visiting with old and new<br />

members because Dennis had a very hard time getting us to sit<br />

down for dinner. He later told me he was getting excited just<br />

thinking about the shrimp and spinach ravioli, which is the same<br />

dish he ordered that night in 2000. It has become some kind of a<br />

tradition for him.<br />

We finally did sit down, later than normal, with most of the<br />

members staying for dinner.<br />

The next Happy Hour is the annual “Moonlight at the Oasis”,<br />

at the Oasis Restaurant on Joe Pool Lake. Hope to see you there.<br />

By Michael Wingfield<br />

Photo by Michael Wingfield<br />

Last time in Part One of this series, we identified a leaking<br />

hydraulic clutch master cylinder, gathered up our tools, and<br />

purchased the necessary replacement parts. Looking ahead,<br />

replacing the hydraulic clutch master cylinder has three phases:<br />

1. Clutch Master cylinder removal<br />

2. Clutch Master cylinder installation<br />

3. Bleed the clutch system<br />

This time, in Part Two of this three-part series, we will remove<br />

the hydraulic clutch master cylinder. Part Three will conclude the<br />

series by covering installation and bleeding the system.<br />

Hydraulic Clutch Master Cylinder – Part Two: Removal<br />

Clutch Master Cylinder Removal<br />

1. Remove hoses and other components within the engine<br />

compartment that block access to the clutch master cylinder. In<br />

my case, this included several vacuum lines, assorted hoses, and<br />

regulators to which the lines and hoses attach. Even with the<br />

removal of these items, the cylinder remains rather well hidden,<br />

but accessible behind one of the main wiring harnesses. Figure 3<br />

shows the placement of the clutch master cylinder behind the<br />

wiring harness. Again the easiest way to locate the clutch master<br />

cylinder is to follow the fluid feed blue hose from the brake<br />

reservoir. Within Figure 3, label “A” identifies the fluid feed blue<br />

hose from the brake reservoir. The dotted line rectangle indicates<br />

the placement of the clutch master cylinder behind one of the<br />

main wiring harnesses.<br />

Figure 3<br />

2. Clamp off the fluid feed blue hose from the brake fluid<br />

reservoir. I used needle nose vice grips to pinch the hose, placing<br />

the vice grips near the brake fluid reservoir in order to leave as<br />

much access room as possible close to the clutch master cylinder.<br />

Don’t worry about damaging the hose by crimping it flat. You<br />

bought a replacement hose in Part One (didn’t you?).<br />

3. Loosen the hose clamp attaching the fluid feed blue hose to<br />

the top of the clutch master cylinder.<br />

4. Remove the fluid feed blue hose from the top of the clutch<br />

master cylinder and fold out of the way. Note that a small<br />

amount of brake fluid will drip from the hose, but is easily caught<br />

with a small piece of paper towel. Since the hose is pinched (step<br />

2 above), only the fluid still in the hose will drip. Note: the small<br />

plastic fitting connecting the hose to the clutch master cylinder<br />

may break or come out of the clutch master cylinder rather than<br />

slip out of the hose. It may be easier to just pull the hose with the<br />

plastic fitting still attached, free from the clutch master cylinder<br />

...follow the fluid feed blue hose from the<br />

brake reservoir . . .<br />

rather than pull the hose off the fitting. Since the new replacement<br />

clutch master cylinder has a new fitting, this is not an issue.<br />

5. Disconnect the high-pressure line from the forward end of<br />

the clutch master cylinder. A brake-line wrench works best here<br />

since you do not want to round off the head of the line nut. Use<br />

care to not bend the line, but gently push it aside, toward the<br />

center of the car. The line does not need to move far to allow the<br />

clutch master cylinder room. Cap off the end of the line with a<br />

rubber cap or catch the dripping fluid. Only a small amount of<br />

fluid will drip from the line since it feeds the clutch slave cylinder<br />

below the line.<br />

6. Cap off the open line end of the clutch master cylinder.<br />

The plastic plug that ships on the new master cylinder works<br />

well here to prevent fluid<br />

from leaking out of the clutch<br />

master cylinder.<br />

7. Loosen the lock nut on<br />

the pushrod where it attaches<br />

to the clutch pedal clevis in the<br />

interior foot well. This step<br />

requires some creative body<br />

contortions as you work<br />

upside down in the foot well.<br />

Figure 4 illustrates the<br />

pushrod lock nut tight<br />

against the clutch pedal clevis.<br />

Within Figure 4, label “A”<br />

identifies the lock nut; label<br />

“B” identifies the pushrod.<br />

The clutch master cylinder<br />

bellows can be seen on the<br />

right end of the pushrod.<br />

Figure 4<br />

8. Unscrew the push rod<br />

from the clutch pedal clevis. This will free the pushrod for<br />

removal with the clutch master cylinder.<br />

9. Remove the clutch master cylinder mounting nuts and<br />

spring washers from the firewall attachment bolts inside the<br />

engine bay. A 12-inch socket extension and universal joint aid in<br />

the removal of the nuts. Likewise, having a magnetic socket to<br />

hold the nut and a washer will prevent you from searching for<br />

dropped parts.<br />

10. Remove the clutch master cylinder, pulling the bellows<br />

and pushrod through the firewall.<br />

11. Remove the paper gasket from the firewall. Figure 5<br />

shows the opening in the firewall (illustrated by the arrow) after<br />

removing the clutch master cylinder and gasket.<br />

This concludes Part Two of this series. Next time, in Part<br />

Three, we install a new hydraulic clutch master cylinder, and<br />

bleed the clutch system.<br />

American LeMans Report<br />

By Bill and Marilyn Stafford<br />

When we arrived at the NEW Sears Point International<br />

Raceway this year for the Fosters Lager Grand Prix of<br />

Sonoma, I thought I was at the wrong track.<br />

As I mentioned in last year’s article about the ongoing construction,<br />

it’s different. This year, NASCAR style Grandstands have been built<br />

along the main straight and all of the above ground bleachers are<br />

gone. Everything has been built into the hillsides. They say that<br />

wherever you sit, you can see 80% of the track. It’s amazing what a 50<br />

million dollar renovation can do. Unfortunately, moving the bleachers<br />

into the ground required the removal of most of the trees that used to<br />

be around the outside of the track giving the track a more sterile look.<br />

The ALMS “for the fans” slogan is more than just that. This year<br />

they have added a series of three lights on the sides of the cars so that<br />

anyone unable to hear the track announcer (that’s everyone, during<br />

the races) can tell the lead cars. If one light is on, that car is leading its<br />

respective class, two lights is second, etc. No lights usually means “not<br />

in the running”, unexpected incidents, or Lucas electrics. They have also<br />

added the ability of the drivers to speak on their radio to the crowd<br />

during the race as well as a “Helmet” cam that can be seen on television.<br />

Driver comments on new track layout<br />

Andy Pilgrim (#4 Corvette C5-R) did not mind the changes. He<br />

stated that they did take away some of the over-taking spots, and you<br />

have to follow the leader through 3 corners. James Weaver (#16 R&S<br />

MKIIIA/Lincoln) stated that it is probably safer, but the NASCAR<br />

kink at turn 7 was creating a traffic jam. David Donohue (#49 Panoz<br />

LMP) said that the track changes were fantastic for the spectator, as<br />

they get to see the whole back of the track and all the action. From<br />

the driver’s standpoint, it is still bumpy, but not as harsh as it used to<br />

be and no one gets airborne at the carousel any more. You can’t<br />

please everybody.<br />

The Race<br />

The timing of this year’s event dictated that several of the big gun<br />

LeMans Prototypes (LMP) factory teams would not show due to the<br />

ongoing testing at LeMans for the 24 hour race in June. (The calendar<br />

spot that Sears has had for the past few years has been taken by a new<br />

Washington, D.C. event.) The Audi factory “borrowed” a two-year-old<br />

car from Champion Porsche Audi of Florida because their new cars<br />

were in France. Their thinking was hey, even if they didn’t win, there<br />

was still a good chance that the new model Champion R8 would be<br />

on the podium and Audi still sells cars on Monday. Cadillac chose to<br />

concentrate on LeMans and did not show (the Champagne is better<br />

in France anyway). Other LMP teams are just running a few events<br />

this year, so it was Panoz and Audi as far as Factory cars go. Rob Dyson<br />

was there with his Riley and Scott hot rod Lincoln and there were two<br />

Lola EX257-AER MG’s that qualified 4th and 6th. (They really need a<br />

shorter name.)<br />

The race started in a drizzling rain and progressed to a downpour,<br />

got colder and finished dry and warm. It seemed to suit the<br />

Panozes as they pretty much led the entire race finishing 1st and 3rd<br />

with the Champion Audi in second place. In the GTS category, there<br />

were only 6 entries. Two factory Corvette C-5R’s, Franz Konrads’<br />

German team driving a Saleen S7R (nee Mustang), an Italian team<br />

with a Ferrari 550 Maranello and two Vipers. The once invincible<br />

Vipers have been penalized with so many restrictions that they just<br />

aren’t competitive in the class anymore. Konrad has deserted Porsche<br />

to campaign the Saleen. Co-driver Terry Borcheller was seen<br />

communicating by hand signals to the German speaking Konrad<br />

team. The GTS race was never close. The Corvettes driven by Ron<br />

Fellows and Andy Pilgrim were never really challenged and finished<br />

one & two. The apparent third place finisher was the Ferrari, but was<br />

disqualified after the race (with no reason given), which gave the<br />

points to the German Mustang. In the GT class (aka the Porsche class)<br />

there were eleven cars on the grid and ten were 911GT3 RS’. This was<br />

a good race with the two Alex Job cars pitted against the ever-stronger<br />

Kevin Buckler Racers Group cars. Buckler was on the pole for the first<br />

time ahead of the Job entries.<br />

Pit Rat Notes<br />

Johnny Herbert (former Formula 1 driver) was trying to do a<br />

“Robbie Gordon” on Sunday. He was going to attempt to qualify<br />

Sunday morning for the Indianapolis 500 and fly to Sonoma for the<br />

ALMS race. Herbert said he was unable to secure an aircraft with<br />

sufficient range and speed (the Corporate F-18 was busy) to allow the<br />

Indy/Sears Point double. It’s been a lifelong ambition for Johnny to<br />

compete at Indy but unfortunately the time available to accomplish<br />

both feats was just too tight to make it work (contract clauses being<br />

very unforgiving). Johnny co-piloted the Champion Audi to 2nd<br />

place in LMP.<br />

Kevin Buckler’s Racer’s Group has been invited to participate in<br />

LeMans, but that necessitates big sacks of money as well as new<br />

clothes and a funny hat. Pit rumor has it that the owner of Suncoast<br />

Porsche is going to write the check. Apparently, their sponsorship of<br />

the Racer’s Group has helped sales and increased Suncoasts’ allotment<br />

of Porsches.<br />

. . .doomed to watch pseudo cars with<br />

carburetors turn left . . .<br />

Human Interest<br />

Earlier this spring Corvette drivers, Andy Pilgrim, Kelly Collins,<br />

Ron Fellows and Johnny O’Connell spent five days visiting U.S. Navy<br />

personnel in the Persian Gulf. The group visited military installations,<br />

including an aircraft carrier. No word on lap times.<br />

Finally<br />

Friends and associates tell me that attendance, as well as<br />

participation, is down about 50% at most of the small tracks in<br />

California which are the training grounds for almost every type<br />

racing in America. This could be due to the recession. However, the<br />

number of people attending the NASCAR type events is growing and<br />

the ALMS and GARRA series are suffering pronounced declining<br />

attendance, and if you don’t believe me, look at the stands during the<br />

televised races. Are we shooting ourselves in the foot here? Are we<br />

doomed to watching pseudo cars with carburetors turn left and<br />

racing without any semblance of reality? Support your local racetrack.<br />

Go to an ALMS or GARRA race. They won’t be there forever.<br />

Shift Rod Coupler Replacement<br />

By Ted Glover<br />

Is the shifting in your 911/912/930 more sloppy than usual for<br />

a Porsche? Did you get into your Porsche and find you could<br />

not shift into reverse? Well, the latter happened to me and the<br />

first thought that went through my mind—after I said “dang-it”<br />

was, “Great! My transmission is shot, it will cost a million dollars,<br />

and I have a tour to go on!”<br />

As I usually do when I have a problem for the first time, I ask<br />

around to see if any other owners have had this same problem.<br />

No sense in re-inventing the wheel when I can copy excellence.<br />

After getting opinions ranging from maladjusted clutch to major<br />

(read expensive) internal transmission problems, I decided to start<br />

from the pedal box and work back towards the engine to start<br />

eliminating possible problem areas.<br />

Behind the front seats and under the carpet is a metal cover<br />

secured to the tunnel by four Phillips head screws. Under this<br />

cover is the shift rod coupler, which connects the shift rod,<br />

which is connected to the gearshift lever, to the input shaft of the<br />

transmission. The shift rod coupler allows you to engage a gear by<br />

making it possible to push or pull or rotate the input shaft,<br />

thereby letting you select a gear.<br />

The weak links in this coupler are the two cheap plastic bushings<br />

which connect the rod and the yoke. (Aftermarket suppliers<br />

realize this and sell superior polyurethane.) Also available from<br />

aftermarket suppliers are aircraft quality “precision” or “universal”<br />

couplers, which will “eliminate slop,” give you “a more positive feel<br />

of your transmission,” and allow you to “shift with confidence and<br />

precision.” The problem with my coupler was a failure of one<br />

(left side) of the plastic bushings, and this prevented engagement<br />

of reverse gear. (My car is a 1977 930 with about 56,000 miles.)<br />

Since I was doing this repair on a Saturday and needed the car<br />

yesterday, I did not have time to order new bushings to rebuild the<br />

coupler. A phone call to a local Porsche dealer revealed that the<br />

coupler is indeed available and in stock. The price was less than<br />

$100, which is pretty good for anything Porsche, but I do not think<br />

plastic, mild steel, and coke bottle cap metallurgy will stand up as<br />

long as the over-twice-the-price aircraft-quality couplers.<br />

. . .it will cost a million dollars and I<br />

have a tour to go on . . .<br />

Installation of the coupler is only about a ten-minute job,<br />

which, again, is good for Porsche. The critical step is to mark where<br />

the coupler is situated in the rod and how it is clocked in relation<br />

to the rod. If you over-insert or under-insert the coupler into the<br />

shift rod, or clock it in a different rotational position, you will find<br />

you are not getting into the gears you want and will have to try to<br />

find the proper position of the coupler by trial and error.<br />

After the new coupler was installed, gear selection was back to<br />

normal. Even with the new coupler, there was still a slightly sloppy<br />

or rubbery feel, so I believe I will be trying the aircraft-quality ones<br />

the next time I have a shift rod coupler failure.<br />

The Making of a Track Car<br />

By Doug Molny<br />

Photo by Doug Molny<br />

As a 2nd year DE student, I have taken my 1979 911 SC from a full<br />

street restoration to a bonafide track car. (If you are questioning<br />

my motivation....you needn't read further.)<br />

The following is my account of this very exciting, sometimes<br />

frustrating, yet thoroughly rewarding endeavor. I admit I have an<br />

obsessive need for speed. (who doesn't?) This passion compelled me<br />

to begin my adventure and education in “lighter = faster.” I began<br />

with the removal of the AC/Heat units and all the belts, mounts, fans,<br />

windshield washer tank, and hoses that go with this equipment. The<br />

console, seat belts, seats, mats, ash tray, air pump, spare tire and trunk<br />

carpet went as well. I added the racing seats you saw in the last<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong> article, but did I stop there? You don't even have to ask, of<br />

course not! The front bumper and bumper shocks, rear deck lid, and<br />

rear bumper were next. Hank at GT Racing provided a fiberglass 911<br />

IROC whale tail, RSR bumper with a front mount oil cooler opening,<br />

and a rear RSR bumper to replace the items removed. The cost was<br />

slightly over $1,100.00 (see the pictures shown). These items come<br />

with a gel coat in white which just happened to almost match the<br />

color of my 911. Park Place Porsche agreed to share in my excitement<br />

transforming my 23-year old Porsche into a pre-club racer.<br />

Fiberglass parts to help with the transformation.<br />

Jimmy Hayes, the service shop foreman for Park Place, initiated<br />

the removal of all of the bumper and tail assemblies and began installation<br />

of the oil cooler and fiberglass parts as soon as they arrived at<br />

the dealership. The fiberglass parts weighed in at approximately 8 lbs.,<br />

or less, each. The spoiler and tail should add quite a bit of down force<br />

...should give me more ofwhat I need ...<br />

Photo by Doug Molny<br />

and the weight loss should give me more of what I need.....speed!<br />

Unfortunately, I could not remove the rear bumper as I would then<br />

lose my trailer hitch. I decided to return the rear fiberglass bumper to<br />

GT Racing and they were kind enough to have their shipper pick it<br />

up. As you can see, in the next set of pictures we removed the oil loop<br />

cooler in the right front fender and used the oil cooler braided lines<br />

provided by Power Haus II to connect into those oil lines to the front<br />

cooler (don't ask me about the 2 new oil lines I had to purchase due<br />

to the fact they were both severely crimped.... there goes my sway bar<br />

and torsion bar budget). The brackets took some special modifica-<br />

Removing the oil loop cooler from the right front fender.<br />

tions to make the bumper fit flush with the fenders and the oil cooler<br />

took a little extra coaxing to fit into the opening securely along with<br />

some special mounts to attach into the frame rather than the bumper.<br />

This was designed to protect the oil cooler in case the bumper makes<br />

contact with another object.<br />

Power Haus II custom builds a 20" long x 6" tall x 3" wide oil<br />

cooler with 12 rows of fins, full flow continuous circulating to keep<br />

the Porsche cool in this Texas heat under racing (DE) conditions<br />

($750.00) including the mounting brackets and a protective front<br />

screen. Once the oil cooler was mounted and secured we added the<br />

front RSR spoiler. The tail was easy enough but I had to forfeit the<br />

hydraulic lifts and will be using half of a broom stick to hold up the<br />

deck lid. We will also have to mount some type of a hook for towing<br />

in case I ever have one of those off track experiences we hear about<br />

and dread... when help is needed to make it back to the grid for the<br />

“pull of shame.” The clearance is approximately 3 1/2" in the front<br />

from the ground to the bottom lip of the spoiler. Torsion bars will be<br />

added to help stiffen the ride to keep the car from bottoming out<br />

(I will happily accept donations).<br />

Upon finishing our project I took a test drive and immediately<br />

noticed the lighter feel. The engine was running cooler and...she looks<br />

gorgeous! The ultimate test was to be the very next day at TMS for the<br />

DE event. She passed with flying colors.... she ran great...plenty of<br />

down force and greater stability under heavy braking. (see the picture<br />

below) I swear those numbers did not have flames when I started the<br />

first run group. If you have any technical questions please feel free<br />

to contact Jimmy Hayes at Park Place Porsche. Jimmy was a tremendous<br />

help to me and I enjoy working with him. Also, Park Place has<br />

expanded their operation to include these specialty additions needed<br />

to make your Porsche handle better and run just a little faster.<br />

TT #4-Hope these new tires/wheels improve my times<br />

By Mike Bridges<br />

I’ve been consistently<br />

driving at the PCA<br />

Time Trial events<br />

starting this year with the<br />

Autocross 102/Time Trials<br />

class last March (which I<br />

highly recommend to<br />

everyone). Up until<br />

recently my ’94 Z-28 has Mike’s old wheels and tires<br />

been mainly stock, running on my daily driver street tires on 16”<br />

wheels.<br />

But, then I decided to get some new wheels and tires (17” up<br />

front, 18” in back). I’m hoping that my times improve with the<br />

better rubber. What do you think?<br />

George Edwards getting even more track time.<br />

tail! (Didn’t know tigers came in blue, did’ya?) I spun out twice on<br />

corner 4 (we were running course #1), and had the tires squealing<br />

and complaining everywhere else. Going into turn #3 was great<br />

fun, screaming into the hairpin in 3rd gear at better than 100 mph<br />

(according to my HUD), down into 2nd gear, powering off the<br />

corner towards that EVIL corner 4. “Please, Lord, don’t let me<br />

screw up!” Finally, Mike’s consistent “smooth, Smooth, SMOOTH!”<br />

The new upgraded wheels and tires.<br />

She’s a 2000 Corvette Fixed Roof Coupe that I got the Friday<br />

before Father’s Day (gonna be hard to top that one next year!) I’ve<br />

been wanting a Vette for 30 years, and finally sold enough unused<br />

toys to pay for it.<br />

On to the time trials. It’s commonly said that the secret of<br />

success of any group is the people involved, and that’s certainly the<br />

case with MR PCA’s time trials and autocrosses. Literally everyone<br />

works together to help each other out. Mitch Williams and Mike<br />

Lockas have been instructing me in both cars, and the one thing<br />

I’ve learned is I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE! On the other<br />

hand, that’s what makes racing at the Mineral Ring so much fun!<br />

Now, on to the racing. The first time I took my new “wheels”<br />

on the track I left the traction control system engaged in the name<br />

of sanity, but felt I wasn’t really learning what the car would do. So,<br />

the 2nd time out I disengaged it, and WOW, did I have a tiger by the<br />

. . . don’t let me screw up . . .<br />

entered my hind-brain and I slowed down in both turns 4 and 5<br />

(felt like I was just coasting), and dropped my lap times down by 1.2<br />

seconds! So, when you hear someone say “slow down to go quicker,”<br />

you REALLY need to slow down!<br />

Anyway, PCA’s time trials are just the greatest fun I’ve ever had<br />

in a car, and the people are the best! See you at the next time trials!<br />

Boxster Boulevard - July 20th Tech Session<br />

By Bob Bianconi<br />

There’s no question about it. On July 20th, Southlake had the<br />

biggest collection of Boxsters it’s ever seen. The occasion was<br />

the Boxster Tech Session held at the home of Bill Kasdorf.<br />

Fifteen Boxsters lined the street and the full color-spectrum was<br />

represented: red, grey, silver, green, blue and yellow. Present were: Steve<br />

Frost, Mike and Melissa Solorzano, Garry Chandler, Rocky Johnson,<br />

John Kenefick, Eric Beeby, Mike Jones, Scott Olson, Bob Bianconi, Dee<br />

Lersch, Darron Shaffer, Keethi, soon to be newest Mav member David<br />

Sumner, tech guru, Keith Olcha, and of course, our host Bill Kasdorf.<br />

Bill’s garage is the home-mechanic’s dream. We used his lift to<br />

great advantage that day. First up was an oil and filter change on<br />

Mike Jones’ arctic silver Boxster. Next, Keith Olcha demonstrated<br />

how to change the brake fluid on Scott Olson’s guard’s red Boxster.<br />

After Scott’s car was completed, we took a short break from the lift<br />

and demonstrated the process to access the engine compartment on<br />

Bob Bianconi’s car. Many of those present hadn’t had a chance yet<br />

to see the engine, up close and personal. We also took the time to<br />

show how to change the air and pollen filters.<br />

The final demonstration consisted of changing the front brake<br />

pads on Darron Shaffer’s car along with a brake fluid change.<br />

Keith makes the pad-change job look easy. During the fluid change,<br />

we ragged on Darron for twice letting the fluid drain tube fall<br />

into the collection container where he had to fish it out! All in all,<br />

everything finished up smooth.<br />

While the work progressed, there was much talk about what to<br />

Photo by Bob Bianconi<br />

do at the next Boxster tech session. The consensus was to have<br />

an electrical ‘hack’ session to install the so-called “OBC” hack<br />

(on board computer) using a dash mounted rocker switch or the<br />

factory column-mounted stalk. Several of the guys have already<br />

performed this mod. This modification allows you to access the<br />

temperature, MPG, etc., readings if you don’t have the factory<br />

installed option. We’ll also do the driving light hack and top-down<br />

hack. So, stay tuned for date and time. Or better yet…<br />

Nominating Committee<br />

By Wendy Shoffit<br />

There has been some discussion regarding how people are<br />

nominated for Maverick Region offices. I thought it would be educational<br />

for people to see exactly what the bylaws say.You can view the entire bylaws<br />

online at www.pca.org/mav/by-laws.htm.<br />

ARTICLE IX: Election of Officers - Section 1: Nominations<br />

At the July Board Meeting, the Board shall appoint a Nominations<br />

Committee consisting of three members who are not currently serving as<br />

elected officers. The August newsletter shall contain the names, addresses,<br />

and phone numbers of those serving on the Nominations Committee, as<br />

well as a call for nominations for the following year's elected officers from<br />

the membership. The Nominations Committee shall provide the Club<br />

Secretary with a slate of candidates willing to run for the four elected<br />

offices. Should a member wish to place his or her own name on the ballot,<br />

he may do so by presenting the Club Secretary with a petition so requesting<br />

before <strong>September</strong> 1. Before any member's name can be placed on the<br />

ballot there must be at least three (3) members entitled to vote sponsoring<br />

each candidate. The Club Secretary shall cause to be printed in the October<br />

newsletter an official ballot listing all candidates for office. Should no nominations<br />

be received for any office, the current officer shall remain in office<br />

until the succeeding Board of Directors can appoint a replacement.<br />

This year’s committee is as follows:<br />
