Prez Says 

by James Shoffit, Maverick Region President 

By the time you are reading this,Wendy, Jasmine, 

and I (and at least 30 of our Maverick friends) 

will be in Boise for Parade. We are looking 

forward to the full (and I do mean full!) week of 

activities, but not necessarily the long drive. Parts of 

the drive up will be fun for me, as I will stop in 

several towns in Wyoming where I was raised. It 

should be interesting to see what 25 years has done to 

the places I used to live. I sure know what the 25 years has done to me! 

As per our bylaws, the nominating committee for next 

year’s officers has been formed. Lanean Hughes will chair it, 

with Wendy Shoffit and Bill Dugan serving as well. If you want to run for 

an office (President, Vice-President, Secretary, or Treasurer), be sure to let 

one of them know (see the contact info in the front of Slipstream for 

email addresses and phone numbers). You can also reach ALL of them 

by sending an email to nominations@mavpca.org. 

I just got back from the second monthly Bedford Lunch for those of 

us working and living in 817-land. We nearly doubled attendance – we 

jumped up to 9 luncheoners from only 5 at last months. Of course last 

month, I didn’t give much notice! So if you want to come to the Bedford 

Lunch, remember it is on the 3rd Tuesday at the Good Eats in Bedford 

just South of 183 on Bedford Road. 

Joel Nannis was at the last Board Meeting and reported we crossed 

the 1,000 member barrier! We had hovered within 50 of it for quite some 

time, and it looks like we might stay above 1,000 for a while! 

Congratulations, Mavericks! 

With a few more autocrosses are under our belt, and after a 

wheel/tire disaster or two, Wendy and I finally felt like we had a good 

racing weekend. At Autocross/Time Trial 3 on June 29 & 30, I ended up 

changing tires twice at the event. Back at TMS I discovered a crack in a 

wheel, which was part of my only set of 15” wheels. So I had nearly-new 

Toyos with no wheels to run them on. I bought a set of 15” Fuchs with 

Hoosiers on them, but wanted to save the Hoosiers for later in the year. 

And I had corded half a set of my 16” tires. So I mixed a set of 16” wheels 

and tires together and ended up with 8” wide wheels with 245/45 tires all 

four corners. 

I was told this would work, but apparently only after you have tightened 

up your suspension. Wendy had volumes of smoke coming out 

where the tire rubbed the wheel well under compression. So I put on the 

Hoosiers and ran a mix-matched set. They of course warmed at different 

speeds and every lap was more than a challenge – it was a full-scale 

adventure! So then I put the 15” bright yellow Fuchs with Hoosiers on all 

four corners, and Wendy and I never figured out what pressures we 

should run or how to drive them. It was a fairly frustrating weekend. 

During the two-week period between Autocross weekends, I had the 

Hoosiers taken off and the Toyos put on the yellow Fuchs. I got the 

pressures dialed in on Saturday and all day Sunday Wendy and I had 

an absolute blast. It’s amazing how much fun it can be when a plan 

comes together! 

...crossed the 1,000 member barrier . . . 

I will discuss the Toyo Proxes RA-1s more as the year 

progresses, but on Saturday and Sunday, I was running very good times 

(for me) and I am pretty sure I was faster on the Toyos than I would have 

been on Kumho Victoracers. They make more noise and cost more, but 

the stick and longevity just might be worth the tradeoff. I will know more 

about longevity later in the year! 

One other note on Autocrosses and Time Trials – we are trying some 

new things out this year. On October 5th and 6th, we will be having TWO 

Time Trials back to back. This will allow some of our Sunday-only 

participants to enjoy a Time Trial. And Autocross 6 has been moved from 

October 20th to October 19th, and the location will be Mineral Wells - so 

we will be having a Saturday Autocross as well this year. 

Don’t forget the lunches, the Happy Hours, and the Post-Parade 

Wrap-Up Party at the Prairie House on August 17th. 

So come on out, and join the fun!

Because I Said So 

by Wendy Shoffit, Editor 

Where to start this month? I would like 

to thank so many Maverick members 

for their sympathy and compassion 

towards me and my family after the sudden 

death of my mother. I’m still reeling from it, 

but having so many friends offering me such 

reassuring words has helped. I don’t know what 

I would do without so many people to keep me 

strong. I am truly blessed in my life. My mother knew it and was 

happy for me. I hope I can make her proud. 

As they say, though...life must go on. I’m proud to announce 

that Matt Platts has volunteered to be next year’s editor. With 

Parade 2004 being in Fort Worth, I will be extremely busy with 

that. I know that Matt will do an excellent job! 

I’d like to talk about what a great time I had driving at the 

MSR DE (I enjoyed people telling me how FAST I was and not 

just how smooth I was). I’d also love to mention how much fun 

it was at the last Time Trial and Autocross (once James got all the 

tire problems worked out). The Father’s Day Picnic would also be 

nice to cover (it was amazing at the Ruehs’ house). I’d love to get 

into all these events, but I’m really pressed for space in this issue. 

Suffice it to say that I’ve been having a lot of fun, which is just 

what my mother would have wanted me to do. While her body 

won’t be able to go with us to Parade this year, her spirit will be 

with us, loving every minute of it. 

Maverick Minutes 

by Andy Mears, Secretary 

The July Board meeting was held on July 9 

at the always festive and friendly home of 

Wendy and James Shoffit. The pre-meeting 

dinner included a variety of foods as well as a very 

special chocolate cake; the cake alone was worth the 

trip. James got the meeting started at 7:03 and 

quickly launched into his agenda. 

The first order of business was a motion 

requesting approval to spend money for the construction of radio 

charging trays for the new radios. The motion passed and we hope to 

see the new charging trays in action at the next driving event. Now 

that our region has more (new) radios, other car clubs have asked to 

borrow them for their driving events. So the next order of business 

was to permit the rental of the region’s radios to other car clubs for a 

rental fee per event. 

Cody Sears and Bill Dugan reported on the June AX/TT 

weekend. Everyone had a great time despite the rain. Several Ford 

Contour drivers participated as well. 

Maverick Region is celebrating its 40th Anniversary and PCA 

National has sent custom-made window stickers to commemorate the 

occasion. Stickers will be handed out at all the events, so if you want 

one you need to attend any of the numerous events including Happy 

Hours, Driving Events, Lunches and Board Meetings. 

In Loving Memory of 

June Goochey 

June 9, 1944 - July 5, 2002 

We may never understand why someone 

caring, kind, and good 

Would have to leave us long before we 

ever thought they would, 

Yet, comfort comes in knowing God 

is with us every day 

And grieves with us when one so full 

of goodness slips away. 

And so, we trust His steadfast love 

through sorrow, pain, and fears, 

As He holds us gently in His arms 

and wipes away our tears. 

Emily Matthews 

Thanks to all of you who 

have provided warmth 

and comfort to the Shoffit 

family as we mourn the 

loss of my mother. 

Teri Davis updated us on the status of the summer retreat 

scheduled for August 23,24,25. She reported that everything is ready 

to go and if you wish to come cool off at The Cliffs Resort on Possum 

Kingdom Lake contact Teri Davis as soon as possible so that you don’t 

miss out on any of the festivities. Check out the Maverick web site for 

all the details. 

Joel Nannis reported that Maverick Region has finally broken 

past the 1000 member mark and is still growing! If you are one of the 

many new members or even one that has been around for a few years, 

come out to any of the social and driving events and meet some of 

your fellow Porsche enthusiasts. 

The Meeting closed at 8:15. Join us next board meeting August 7. 

Maverick Region PCA Board 

Meetings are held once a month. 

The meetings are open to all PCA members and 

your suggestions and opinions are welcome. 

And there’s free food!

Happy Hour At Saltgrass 

by Craig Smith 

Even though Chris (my mother) 

and I have been the proud 

owners of a 1990 blue on white 

Carrera 2 cabriolet for twelve years, we 

just recently became members of the 

club. We have attended two tours 

guided by the grand master of touring 

Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, himself, Ted Glover, and we are anticipating 

the next with great excitement. 

Dee Lersch, and Mark Gluck 

But enough background on us - on to the business of the happy hour. 

Photo by Dennis Chamberlain 

...Maverick Region’s very own mascot ... 

Chris & Craig Smith 

We have now attended three Maverick Region happy hours, 

planned by Dennis Chamberlain. This one, at the Saltgrass Steak 

House, had a good turnout, with about thirty-five members and 

fifteen Porsches decorating the parking lot. Saltgrass is one of the 

many new restaurants you might see while driving to the airport. 

The evening began with a surprise door prize presented by Brent 

Yager. The prize consisted of two tickets to see Trisha Yearwood the 

following night. As luck would have it, I was the first of many to raise 

my hand. Thanks, Brent – the show was unbelievable. 

But speaking of shows, next came the Maverick Region’s very 

own mascot, “Kiwi”. Carol Frank, who was bird-sitting, surprised 

everyone by bringing this bright green parrot to the shindig. Colorful 

chirps of happiness could be heard throughout the night. The food 

and company were great too. Due to the large size of our group, the 

service wasn’t particularly fast, which gave the people at my table time 

to really get to know one another. That, of course, is the reason 

people come in the first place -- to meet interesting people with a 

wide range of backgrounds and similar interests. 

We’re looking forward to the August 15 Happy Hour, which will 

be at the Railhead Smokehouse in the mid cities area.

Hydraulic Clutch Master Cylinder - Part 1: Inspection 

By Michael Wingfield 

Photo by Michael Wingfield 

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Your Hydraulic 

Clutch Master Cylinder, But Were Afraid to Ask (Part One) 

This three-part article covers the inspection and replacement 

of a hydraulic clutch master cylinder in the front-engine, 

water-pumping family of Porsche cars. Part One details the 

identification and inspection of a hydraulic clutch master cylinder 

for the purpose of identifying leaks. Part two of this article covers 

the steps to remove the hydraulic clutch master cylinder for replacement 

or rebuilding. Finally, Part Three of this article describes the 

installation of the hydraulic clutch master cylinder and bleeding the 

hydraulic clutch system. 

Have you ever spent time looking for fluid leaks in your car? 

If you participate any of the PCA driving events, you have seen a 

car technical inspection form (tech sheet). One of the items 

addressed on the tech sheet focuses on fluid leaks. Specifically, the 

Driver’s Education (DE) tech sheet states: 

Fluids – NO DRIPPING LEAKS of any fluid of any type; 

appropriate levels and proper fluid types 

The Autocross (AX) and Time Trial (TT) tech sheet has 

similar wording, but implies the fluid be checked in the engine 

compartment. I expect most people look inside the engine bay, 

under the car, and possibly in the trunk for fluid leaks when 

inspecting a car for a PCA driving event, or as part of regular 

highway maintenance. But how often have you looked inside the 

passenger compartment for fluid leaks? 

If your car has a firewall-mounted hydraulic clutch master 

cylinder, then you should also inspect the foot-well of your car 

for clutch master cylinder leaks. These hydraulic clutch master 

cylinders appear on the 924S, 928, 944, 951, and 968 series cars. 

Note that the early 924 and 931 series cars had a cable-driven 

mechanical clutch, so this article does not apply to those cars. This 

article covers the inspection and the replacement of the hydraulic 

clutch master cylinder in the above-mentioned series of cars, and 

details the steps as performed on my 1986 951. 

Figure 1 

Inspection 

Inspect the clutch master cylinder, the high-pressure line, and 

the brake fluid feed line for leaks by looking inside the engine bay. 

The clutch master cylinder mounts to the firewall, located on 

the driver side and slightly below the brake master cylinder and 

brake booster. Depending on the year, model, and specific options 

on your car, the clutch master cylinder may be easily visible or 

considerably hidden beneath numerous hoses and other devices. 

...inside the passenger compartment for 

fluid leaks . . . 

Perhaps the best method for locating the clutch master 

cylinder is to identify and follow the clutch fluid feed hose, colored 

light blue if a Porsche part, from the driver side of the brake 

fluid reservoir down to the top of the clutch master cylinder. For 

example, Figure 1 shows the placement of a very well hidden 

clutch master cylinder in my 1986 951. Within Figure 1, label “A” 

identifies the brake fluid reservoir, label “B” identifies the brake 

booster, and the arrows from label “C” point to the blue gravity 

feed hose from the side of the brake fluid reservoir to the top of 

the clutch master cylinder. Note that the clutch master cylinder is 

not directly visible, but well hidden behind other components. 

Check the forward end of the clutch master cylinder for leaks 

at the high-pressure line (looks like a steel brake line). Also check 

the top of the clutch master cylinder for leaks from the blue hose 

supplying fluid. This top hose 

connection has a plastic fitting 

set in a rubber seal. The rubber 

seal works as a stress relief and 

vibration damper for the blue 

hose connection. Finally look 

at the firewall (rear) end of the 

clutch master cylinder for any 

signs of leakage into the 

engine bay. 

To inspect the pushrod 

end and the bellows of the 

clutch master cylinder, look 

up inside the foot well of the 

interior of the car, between the 

clutch pedal and the firewall. 

If the clutch master cylinder is 

leaking from the piston end of 

the cylinder, the bellows will 

trap the fluid for a while. 

Figure 2 

However, actuating the clutch pedal will eventually cause the 

fluid to leak onto the sound proofing material on the firewall 

immediately below the bellows. Figure 2 illustrates the clutch 

master cylinder bellows and pushrod as viewed from inside the 

foot well. Within Figure 2, label “A” identifies the bellows on the 

push rod that connects the clutch piston to the clutch pedal; label 

“B” identifies a stain caused by brake fluid leaking onto the sound 

proofing material on the firewall. 

12

If you discover fluid in or on the bellows, or a stain on the 

sound proofing material (especially a damp stain), then you 

should replace the clutch master cylinder. While not a difficult 

task, replacing the clutch master cylinder does require many 

different but common tools and the ability to contort fingers and 

other body parts into abnormal positions. Having a pair of small 

hands to assist you will also be of great benefit. 

Tools 

Before beginning the task of removing and replacing a leaking 

clutch master cylinder, it is good practice to take inventory of 

your available tools. If you are like me, all too often you start a 

job only to find that you are missing a tool necessary to completing 

the task. Below, appears a list of the tools needed to replace the 

hydraulic clutch master cylinder. As mentioned above, the tools 

are common, but you will need many. Along with each tool 

appears a brief description of the use for the specific tool: 

Miscellaneous tools: 

Common screwdrivers – hose clamps 

Phillips screwdrivers – hose clamps, engine pan 

Vice grips – to pinch fluid hose 

Brake bleeder hose & fluid catch container – system bleed 

Utility knife – to cut reservoir hose 

Optional (but recommended) 

i. Large rubber hammer – always handy 

ii. Silicone sealant – alternative to a new gasket 

iii. Dielectric grease – electrical connections 

iv. Rubber brake line plug – prevent leaks 

v. Brake system pressure bleeder – system bleed 

Wrenches: 

7 mm – clutch slave bleeder valve 

8 mm – starter hot wire, clutch master 

cylinder pushrod 

12 mm brake line wrench – high pressure 

line to clutch master cylinder 

13 mm – starter ground, pushrod lock nut 

17 mm - starter heat shield 

19 mm – starter mounting bolts 

Sockets: 

8 mm deep – starter heat shield 

10 mm – engine pan bolts, clutch master cylinder 

mounting nuts 

12-inch socket extension 

Socket Universal swivel joint 

Ratchet 

Parts 

Below appears a list of parts needed to replace the clutch 

master cylinder. The parts apply specifically to my 1986 951, so 

your specific part number may vary. 

Clutch Master Cylinder (PN: 477.721.171) 

Gasket (PN: 928.423.191.00)

Concours 101 

By Gary Coots 

About 20 people attended the Maverick Region's first Concours 

101 on Saturday, June 15, at the Porsche Store in Plano. Our host 

was Quentin Forge (of The Porsche Store Detail Shop), who is a 

wealth of information when it comes to detailing cars. His well-organized 

crew demonstrated the step-by-step detailing process. 

We registered for a drawing first off, to see which lucky recipient 

would get a free detail job. Ed Mayo was the winner, and his green 

'71 Targa was the car used by the Porsche Store to demonstrate the 

detailing process. Here's a crash course on how it's done. 

Before you begin, make sure you have two or three fresh, clean 

wash mitts. It's a good idea to have two separate buckets: one with two 

or three clean wash mitts in a soapy solution, and another bucket with 

the dirty mitts.At The Porsche Store, they use cotton terry wash mitts. 

Some folks debate whether it's best to use cotton mitts or sponges. 

The first step is to wash the wheels and rocker panels thoroughly, 

using a soft brush or mitt and mild, spray-on de-greasers. Next, rinse 

the wheels and the car body, soap it up from top down, and rinse 

again. After the car is scrubbed down and rinsed off, chamois it dry. 

Some owners prefer to use cloth diapers or 100 percent cotton 

towels to dry the car off. Whichever is used, it must be clean to avoid 

scratching the paint. I personally use a water blade to whisk away 

excess water before drying with chamois. A tip we learned from the 

Porsche Store is the use of compressed air after drying, to blow the 

rest of the water out from the cracks and crevices.

A demonstration using the proper brush to clean the wheels. 

and clean, and you can also spray it with the lubricant during 

kneading. The whole car can be clayed before wiping the lubricant 

off, if desired. After the clay bar procedure, examine the surface for 

additional imperfections, or for stubborn bird or bug spots. Wash 

Solutions recommends Meguiar's Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner, 

which worked great during the demonstration. 

Now you're ready for waxing. Using a dual-action rotary buffer 

to apply the wax, Quentin used a #26 high-tech yellow wax and 

applied a very thin layer to avoid a chalky buildup. The newest thing 

to wipe off the wax after it dries to a haze is a micro-fiber towel, 

available for around $2.00. These towels are about one square foot in 

size and will do the whole car without scratching it. They are also 

machine washable (no fabric softener) and take up much less room 

than large, fluffy bath towels. 

...for stubborn bird or bug spots . . .

Tony Mitchell claying Ed Mayo’s winning car. 

Next we learned the very important process of cleaning the 

paint. Tony Mitchell and Richard Guimond from Wash Solutions 

were very helpful in showing how to use products to pull imperfections 

from the surface.The first step in paint purification is the proper 

use of a clay bar, which lifts contaminants from the paint. The bar 

costs about $18, so it's a good idea to work with a piece about the 

size of an Oreo cookie. That way, if you drop it, you'll have more; 

dropping it on the ground picks up too much dirt to safely use on the 

car finish, so you have to throw it away. Work the clay into a pliable 

disk shape and NEVER use without a liquid lubricant. The lubricant 

used in the demonstration was Meguiar's Final Inspection #34. Work 

in a two-foot square area. Spray the Final Inspection on the paint surface 

and very lightly rub the clay back and forth across the paint. Do 

NOT use a circular motion. The clay should glide smoothly and 

effortlessly. If not, you have not applied enough lubricant or are 

pressing too hard. Also, knead the clay continually to keep it pliable 

The interior is also very important and needs to be thoroughly 

cleaned, from the headliner to the carpet, even under the seats. 

Cleaning the glass is always the final step. Ed has judged concourses 

before, and I asked about commonly overlooked areas. He mentioned 

underneath the doors and the tops of sun visors. Also, the wax 

buildup around the exterior rubber trim can be cleaned using a 

short-bristled detailing brush, which looks sort of like a 2 inch-wide 

paint brush that has had it's bristles trimmed to a half-inch long. The 

rubber trim around the windows and windshield should be cleaned 

and dressed with Q-tips. Lift the edge of the rubber and go around 

the windshield with a Q-tip, then apply a dressing such as Armour-All, 

Vinylex or Meguiar's Vinyl and Rubber cleaner/conditioner. 

A note about Meguiar's products: - they make a consumer line 

and a professional line. The consumer line is available from places 

such as Target and Wal-Mart, but the professional line is only 

available on-line or from a specialty shop such as Wash Solutions. 

"Concours 101: The Art of Caring for Your Porsche" was 

certainly informative and interesting. I enjoyed seeing Wash 

Solutions' unique mobile store and learning tips from Tony and 

Richard. Special thanks to MRPCA member Jimmy Carter for 

organizing it, and The Porsche Store for being such good hosts. 

Website for Wash Solutions is www.wash-solutions.com and of 

course The Porsche Store's is www.theporschestore.com.

June 1 Tech Session at Park Place 

By Robert Van Buskirk 

June’s Tech Session focused on the Porsche 944/968. Alan 

Lage was kind enough to offer his car for belt replacements 

and other services performed. However, since Alan wasted 

his clutch at Texas Motor Speedway a “clutch session” was 

added. John Cochran was also kind enough to add his cooked 

brakes as a discussion point. 

After lunch, with a new clutch installed, they went through 

the specifics of timing belts, which was very interesting. 

As usual Park Place provided a light breakfast, wonderful 

Porsche logo merchandise, and offered special discounts 

during the event. They provided pizza for lunch. The work and 

great questions continued long after the noon hour. 

Look for future Park Place Tech sessions on page 6.

The “clutch session” 

This session was very interesting even for the 993 and 

Boxster owners because Jimmy Hays and his Tech., Robert 

Kennedy provided many physical examples of clutch 

components destroyed in many unusual ways. One complete 

assembly that they showed us was totally destroyed in less then 

100 abusive miles. The lesson here was never loan your Porsche 

to anyone. It should be pointed out Alan’s clutch, which gave 

him 100,000 miles, was worn appropriately. 

. . . totally destroyed in less than 100 

abusive miles . . . 


Clutch parts for the 968. 

EXOTIC CAR & BIKE SHOW 

Since we all just had the TMS DE experience of really using 

our brakes, we had a lively conversation regarding brake pads, 

various types, manufacturers, and what we should expect for 

performance from each.

My First Autocross 

By Casey Todd 

Okay so it’s not really my first autocross. I’m an avid 

Oklahoma SCCA autocrosser. It was, however, my first 

PCA autocross, and boy was it so much fun. 

As I was working a corner while the other group was driving, I 

saw how Charlie, Cody, James, and others take the turns and 

thought, “I can do that, no problem.” Well there was a problem, it 

was raining and I’ve never raced at such high speeds. I found that 

instructor Cody Sears was great. So, I’m at the starting line and I 

do a typical SCCA start. I get off to a great start and turn in an all 

right time of 78 seconds. It was fun, but I was a little timid. 

I spun twice during my second run and gave Cody a ride for 

his life. My third and fourth runs were probably my best of the day, 

but both times the timer didn’t work. I was a little disappointed 

but, hey, you live with it. My next lap wasn’t that great because I hit 

two cones. My fourth lap probably could’ve been my best, but I 

ruined it pretty soon by spinning out, so the rest of the run I drove 

my heart out and did everything else better than ever. I would like 

to thank Cody for being my instructor, and teaching me what to do 

in certain situations at that speed. 

I would have liked to have stayed for the afternoon session and 

driven in the downpour but my dad’s car had a problem with it so 

we had to go home. I loved it here though, and am ready to race 

again (even though I hate the drive from Oklahoma). 

I would also like to thank Charlie, James, Wendy, and others 

for helping me get this chance to drive in PCA autocrosses at 

sixteen years old. Not long ago they let me write an article about 

how PCA should let sixteen-year-olds drive, like SCCA. Without 

them I would still be watching everyone from the sidelines wanting 

so badly to drive. Thanks very much you guys and ladies.

Copper Canyon Fest 

By Charlie Davis 

Caveat: No animals, children, or Porsches were injured during the 

writing of this article. Some names have been changed to protect the 

guilty. Editorial license was stretched to the limit and has currently been 

revoked. All opinions are those of the author and do not represent 

the attitudes, prejudices, and stereotypes of the Region at large or 

management in particular. In other words, it's a figment and the 

humor-challenged should read elsewhere. 

It's traditional to get together on Father's Day and throw water 

balloons until half of us are wet. Never seems to be the half with 

swimsuits on. This year, we continued that tradition, but avoided 

our long-time, traditional venue, the Casey's homestead, in beautiful, 

downtown Copper Canyon (the community). Seems they tore up 

their place and could not put it back together in time. So we moved 

upstream, to the headwaters of Hickory Creek. The Rueh's live 

'round there, near Copper Canyon (the geologic feature in the 

ground) and were our gracious hosts. 


The only group that was neatly arranged. 

Rich's car, named "Ol' Yeller", is a phenomenon. It is wildly 

loved by lay people. We of the 914 persuasion (disease?) debate "why" 

incessantly, especially those of us with green, blue, and red paint. 

Nobody knows! Ol' Yeller is certainly greater than the sum of it's parts. 

It's triumph proves that PCA and MR in particular are NOT infected 

with the NARP syndrome! If you are confused by the "NARP" 

acronym, perhaps thinking it's a federal marijuana sting or rival to 

AARP, you need to educate yourself by reading more ads (see P. 28).

Conspiracy or not, Emily De Jong and Jasmine Shoffit 

were happy to win the water balloon contest! 

We traditionally have a picnic...hot dogs and what ever bringins 

we liberate from home. We also monitor and occasionally rescue the 

kids from the pool. Then, there is the Car Show. Did they call it a 

Concours this year? If not, perhaps we should consider a name 

change. How about Car Show de Elegance? 

All this leads to the facts: we had a record turnout. Wendy 

stopped counting at 100! Then there were the 25 cars displayed in a 

haphazard arrangement on the grass...like the occupants were in a 

hurry to get somewhere else. In spite of the casual appearance, the 

wide variety of bright colors was stunning. 

Don't take the above as a condemnation of Jimmy Carter, who 

orchestrated the Car Show...he did a great job. He was simply overwhelmed 

by the number of yellow cars! The alleged speed advantage 

of yellow cars resulted in many entrants racing into position. Some 

owners of slower colors refuse to admit defeat easily. 

Whatever...most of the cars that did swap paint, were the same 

boring shade of yellow, so nobody noticed. 

The judging by the hungry, wet pod, was predictable...only those 

fast, yellow cars were seriously considered. It was a clean sweep for 

yellow! Alan Lage won the "Favorite" category in his 2-week-old 996 

(yellow) and Rich Johnson won the "Cleanest" category in his 

32-year-old 914 (yellow). I just can't understand how a Porsche only 

2-weeks off the boat can be dirty? I know that I, for one, voted for 

Alan's car as "Cleanest"... 


...NOT infected with the NARP 

syndrome . . . 

But the basackward assignment of awards is almost like 

Ol' Yeller won BOTH the categories and "management" made an 

executive decision to give one of the categories to the runner up . . . 

then they got confused and switched the awards...or something. Do 

you share my love of conspiracy theories? Niet? 

Then how do you explain Jasmine Shoffit and Emily De Jong winning 

the Balloon Toss, other than a trick, unbreakable water balloon? I 

heard it was a parental conspiracy . . . either that, or Lanean did it? 

To stir the pot some more, if we can wash and show cars on 

Father's Day, why can't we do something fun on Mother's Day...like 

a Hard Parts Swap Meet or Seat-o-the-Pants Autocross or Street 

Race? But NO! So much for equality of the sexes...
