Road Ramblings
by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President
Last month I mentioned how much I look
forward to February as the start of the
racing season. It begins for me with
the Daytona 24 hour Sports Car Race.
Congratulations to Kevin Buckler and his Racers
Group team for an overall win this year in the
#66 Porsche GT3RS. I began buying parts
through the mail seven years ago from Kevin
when he and his wife Debra were the whole
company. Kevin walked me through many an installation talking
to me on my cordless phone while I was leaning over the car.
Kevin still club races with PCA and is a regular guy.
Of course, a GT class car never should have won Daytona
in the first place. It was only because of problems with many
of the cars in the brand-new Daytona Prototype class that
attrition allowed a lower-category car to win first place overall.
We’ll see how Grand-Am does this year. I still don’t think there
is enough fan and sponsor interest in three sports car organizations-
SCCA, Grand-Am, and American Le Mans. We’ll see…
So what have I done so far starting in February? I attended
Autocross 101 – an introduction to autocrossing, and Karen
attended the ladies-only autocross school the day before at
Pennington field. She loved it. I’ve only driven my Boxster on
the street for the past three months and I forgot where the
steering wheel was pointed a few times when the car was sliding.
By the time you read this we will have completed our first track
event, the Drivers Education at MotorSport Ranch. So what is
going on in March? A full calendar, of course, as the weather
improves.
you can enjoy working on your own car with your hands and do
a better job than most paid-services is good old-fashioned
washing, waxing, and interior cleaning. It can be time-consuming
but there is nothing like a clean Porsche in-and-out! There are
various websites such as www.carcareonline.com that will tell
you about techniques, and sell you the cleaning products.
Another thing is an oil and filter change, and/or changing the
pollen or particle filters on the newer cars. Again, this is about
50% of the total scheduled maintenance on a daily driver over
time. There are people who also think routine brake services
such as pad replacements and fluid flushing are too complicated
for the novice. It’s easier than you think, and in just a couple
of years can save you enough money to spend more on other
fun car-related stuff. There will be opportunities over the year
to attend tech-clinics designed to demonstrate the things you
can work on yourself on your Porsche.
Finally, next month I’m going put on paper, a frequent
dream of pretending what I would acquire (money being no
object) if I had to fill a 15-stall warehouse collection of
Porsches. Racecars, road cars, and special editions- you name
it. All these cars should be drivable. While I might not put
much mileage on them, they are theoretically able to run as
intended with reasonable notice. Factory mechanics on call!
Why don’t you all think about it also and email me with your
favorite road and race Porsches. You don’t have to list 15. I’ll
take everyone’s favorites and compile a weighted list of our
readership’s 15, and my 15. Feel free to add your comments. I
bet your list will be more interesting than mine!
...I forgot where the steering wheel was pointed
a few times when the car was sliding...
There is one more set of autocross and time-trial schools,
on March 8-9 this time being held at Mineral Wells, and the
first regular timed-event autocross and time-trial weekend of
the year will also be out at Mineral Wells at the end of March.
Time trials are on Saturday, and autocrosses are on Sunday.
The schools are low-pressure, instructive, and fun. Our first
dinner social is March 1 as well as our first tour of the year
along the Dogwood Trail to Palestine on March 23rd. Please
look over the calendar on the first page for the rest of the
month’s activities.
March 15 marks the long-awaited and much-ballyhooed
introduction of the Cayenne Sport Utility Vehicle. I don’t know
about you, but feel as if this thing has been written about,
talked about, and sneak-previewed for ten years already. And
just when a gallon of gas is almost as expensive as a gallon of
milk. I guess timing is everything. I read that every Cayenne
they will produce for the next 18 months is spoken for.
Hopefully our area dealers will have some unveiling parties, etc.
I think the Cayenne and the Hummer H2 compete for the most
exotic medium-duty tow vehicle.
I have often heard people talk at our socials about what
services they can or cannot do on their Porsches as far as owner
maintenance is concerned. Many people think if you can’t
perform a tune-up then you might as well not work on the car
at all. I’m not sure about that. One of the biggest areas where

Curves Ahead
by Matt Platts, Editor
We have had another interesting February
here in Texas. I can’t think of any other
place where you can have 70 degree
top-down weather within a week of getting 2
inches of sleet that totally shuts down a metroplex
of over 3 million people, then right back to
pleasant sunny days just as quickly! One can only
wish for nice weather on our event weekends, but
that just wasn’t the case for our Ladies Autocross School and
Autocross 101 at Pennington Field a few weekends ago. There
wasn’t any precipitation, but the temperatures did nothing but drop
for the entire weekend. The temperature was somewhere around 30
degrees with a wind chill in the teens for the Sunday morning
driver’s meeting! It didn’t seem to matter though, all participants
and workers had a great time.
Cold weather and all, the driving season is officially under way.
February was chock-full of teaching and learning, and there’s still
ground to be covered. Make sure to examine the calendar closely,
you don’t want to miss a Drivers Education, Club Race, Autocross,
Time Trial, Rally, or Tour because you failed to plan appropriately.
Don’t forget that all of the DEs in our area fill up quickly. If you
would like to get in, you must follow the entry rules to the letter.
We are also quickly approaching the 2002 Tampa Parade in
Maverick Minutes
by Mimi Spreen
The February board meeting was held on Tuesday February 4th at
Lanean Hughes’ abode. Joe McGlohen provided barbeque for
dinner. In attendance were Lanean, Wendy Shoffit, Mimi Spreen,
Keith Olcha, Michael Wingfield, Mark Steele, Matt Platts, Noby
Takahashi, Joe McGlohen, Teri and Charlie Davis, Mike Brodigan, Cody
Sears and Bob Knight. The meeting started at 7:05 with Keith's "Round
the Room" reports.
Mike Brodigan advised that advertising was going well. We've
added 2 ads and dropped 1, collected some back fees and plan on
selling more 1/4 and 1/2 page ads because of the ease of handling and
the higher revenue. Matt Platts stated that the February Slipstream is
at press and should be mailed out in the next few days.
Teri reported that the rally school was good, although it lost a
small amount of money. Teri can forward the class materials to
anyone who didn't go to the school. Parade for Dummies which was
held at The Prairie House in Carrollton was well attended, even
though we had our first SNOW of the year.
Noby is planning on requesting insurance for the upcoming
events. Mark Steele said TT104 had 25 attendees, which gave
everyone plenty of runs. Wendy actually drove Mitch's Miata and beat
Bob Benson AND Jan Mayo!! (Oops, should I not have said that ;-)
Lanean said that the New Member Party was very well attended,
the beautiful weather helped that I'm sure. I want to take a moment
to thank Lanean for taking over my part of putting this party
together at the last minute. My 100 year old grandmother passed
away and I was in Shreveport for her funeral. Thanks again, Lanean.
June. If you haven’t made your plans already, there may still be a few
available spots, so act quickly! You should also consider renewing
your PCA membership early if possible. Imagine the disappointment
if you were trying to get into a DE only to find out that your
membership had lapsed and you had to scurry to renew before the
event. You can renew early online at the www.pca.org website.
Once again this month, you will have the pleasure of reading
articles written by our region’s members. The different points
of view expressed
by these talented
writers is colorful and
creative, you can
really get a feel for
being at the event
right along with
them. In fact, why
don’t you attend the
next event with them?
Imagine how much
fun you could have!
Look for me at
your next event, I’d
love to say “hi”.
A reminder of our 2003 “sleet attack”

Lanean also said that the February Happy Hour is at Sherlock's
Pub. The April 13 Bus lot for AX will have bathrooms and concessions.
It will also have bleachers. Due to an IRL conflict at TMS, we
can't have the October 12 date, so the alternative is Oct 25 and 26.
Sponsor checks for club race have been received.
Wendy brought up an addition to the event calendar for July 12
from 11-1 PM at the McKinney Library. It will be an informal
concours for kids ranging in age from 12-18. Motion made and
passed to add this to the calendar.
Joe mentioned that 9 radios need to be replaced for a total of
approximately $2300.00 which included carrying boxes. It was decided
that we could wait until after the Feb DE to make the expenditure,
since we would not need the radios until after that event anyway.
Cody requested volunteer workers and instructors for the
upcoming driving schools. Volunteers are needed for the Ladies AX
on 2/15, AX101 on 2/16 as well as the Mineral Wells event on March
8 & 9. Contact Cody if you are available and would like to help.
Last, but not least, the truck! Charlie informed us of a truck that
he has found. He actually drove it and said there were some things
that would need to be fixed, but overall it looked ok. He checked into
insurance coverage. A motion was made to buy the truck for
$2000.00. The motion was seconded and approved.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:10 pm.

Happy Hour at Railhead
by Claire Athy
Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Tinker
Edwards, and Mark Gluck
One of our most fun and unexpected
Christmas gifts this year
was given to us by two of our
children - a membership to the Porsche
Club of America. We received lots of
PCA materials in the mail, including
"Slipstream". We looked them all over
and observed that it seemed the
Regional Mavericks Club had a large
number of active members who did a
variety of exciting and fun things. Then Dennis Chamberlain called
and invited us to the Happy Hour at The Railhead on January 16,
2003 to get acquainted with some of the members and to hear more
about the various events that the club had to offer. During the phone
Gregg and Claire Athy
Photo by Dennis Chamberlain
discussion, Dennis and my husband, Gregg, had a discussion about
DE, which was the event in which Gregg was most interested.
Since the Railhead was relatively close we decided to go to find
out what it was all about. Despite being a bitterly cold night there
was a good turnout for the get together, we enjoyed the drinks, the
food, and good conversation. The big barbeque sandwiches were
delicious, and the french-fries smothered with grilled onions were
most unique.
John and Marlo Pulliam
We had an opportunity to meet quite a few Porsche owners
and hear about the specific activities and events they each enjoyed.
Since the Goodie Store was open and doing a good business, we
ordered our name badges from John, Dee, and Demi Lersch. We
did discover that most of the members with whom we spoke had
belonged to the PCA for quite a few years and it was obvious while
listening to them that their enthusiasm for their cars and the club
had not diminished.
I can't begin to remember the names of all those that we
met, but in addition to Dennis and the Lersch’s, we had the
opportunity to talk with Jay Easley and Anastasia Zaruba, Debbie
Lage, Joe Rode, Annette Nolte, Mike Brodigan, Keith Olcha, and
Tinker Edwards. They all made us feel welcome.
Living in Fort Worth we probably won't make it to all the
Happy Hours in Dallas but we'll try to make as many as we can.
We're also looking forward to doing some of the tours and other
scheduled events. According to Dennis, the March 20 happy hour
returns to the Saltgrass Steakhouse in Irving, at 635 and
MacArthur.
It was an enjoyable Happy Hour and we thank all of you for
your hospitality.

Carrera GT Unveiled in Geneva
by PCNA
ATLANTA, FEBRUARY 4, 2003 --- Stuttgart, Germany-based Dr.
Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG will unveil its V10-powered Carrera GT highperformance
roadster in March at the Geneva International Motor Show.
With more than 600 horsepower and racing-inspired technology,
Porsche's top-of-the-line sports car delivers pure performance.
The Carrera GT has a pure racing engine. Its 10-cylinder powerplant
with dry-sump lubrication is based on Porsche's 5.5-liter V10 naturally
aspirated engine developed especially for racing. For production,
technicians at the Development Center in Weissach, Germany, have
increased the displacement to 5.7 liters. Maximum output is 612
horsepower (DIN*) at 8,000 rpm, with peak torque rated at 437 poundfeet.
The Carrera GT has a top test-track speed of 205 miles per hour
(330 k/h) and accelerates from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds.
Its specially developed six-speed manual gearbox allows it to go from zero
to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 9.9 seconds.
Porsche developed a new construction concept for road and racing
vehicles. The Carrera GT's monocoque and entire sub-frame are made
of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), and Porsche has applied to
patent this technology. Carbon is the only material that, after complex
processing, can meet the requirements needed to combine top-class
driving performance and driving dynamics with minimum weight at
maximum rigidity.
With attainable speeds of more than 186 mph (300 km/h),
aerodynamics plays a crucial role. To achieve as high output co-efficients
Photo Provided by PCNA
as possible (so-called "downforce"), the Carrera GT has an underbody
geometry that can only be found in similar form in pure racing sports cars.
The underbody is completely cased in carbon fiber and provides an
additional suction effect thanks to its rear diffusor and flow channels.
The Carrera GT also features the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB) system. Porsche has supplied this component since 2001 and is
the first manufacturer to include it in a mass-produced vehicle (the 911
Carrera GT2). A global innovation - the PCCC (Porsche Ceramic
Composite Clutch) - transmits power to the drivetrain.
The first Carrera GT models produced at the Porsche plant in
Leipzig, Germany, will be delivered to customers at the end of 2003.

Ladies Autocross School
by Alicia Reich
Have you ever washed your car at 5:30 AM? I did, in
preparation for my first Autocross School, held on Feb
15 at Pennington Field in Bedford. I am not an early
bird by definition, so this took significant commitment on my
part to finally fall out of bed. My Dad told me that the car had
to sparkle like a gem or it would not pass Tech Inspection. Of
course, I didn’t really believe that bluff, but I’m a wee bit of a
neat freak and I just had the urge to make my car shine. With
one exception, everyone else at the autocross school had also
washed their car at 5:30 AM, because they were all clean despite
significant recent rain!
And what beauuutifuuuul cars they were! The Boxsters
are neat, and the 911’s are cool, but my heart was won over by
the new Mini. What a cute car! My snazzy ride is a 1990
BMW 525i (Dad calls it “my daily driver”), which clocks at just
under 100,000 miles. Dad bought it for Mom when it was
three years old, and we’ve taken good care of it since, and it is
now most definitely “mine”.
...My dad told me that the car had to sparkle like
a gem or it would not pass tech inspection...
I am a junior at Ursuline Academy and started driving to
school a year ago, six months after I earned my license. It took
a while for Dad to acknowledge that I was a safe driver and
grant me the freedom of the road in my own car. Although I
have driven a go-cart on a number of occasions and definitely
enjoyed it, I had never participated in a driving competition
before.
Like everyone, I went onto the track as a passenger in
itially as my instructor zipped round the skid pad. While she
was cranking the gas, little old me was mashed against the
passenger door, heavy helmet jammed up against the glass.
Photo by Matt Platts
After the first ride, I gulped and feebly told my instructor
that I have had “minor” encounters with motion sickness
throughout my life. Amazingly, when I took the drivers seat
and slowly passed the first few cones, I found that I had left the
motion sickness behind in the passenger seat!
My instructor, Lisa, specified that the counterclockwise
rotation should feel easier than running clockwise, but I found
my best results when circling clockwise. After my third run
clockwise, the facilitator at my station told me I was driving
with only three wheels on the ground! I was shocked and
started apologizing, but he laughed at my reaction and said a
“three-wheeley” was a good thing. And it sure felt awesome,
too!

After lunch, our group rotated to the slalom and braking
exercises. Out of all the simulations, I found the braking to
be exceptionally helpful. Lisa instructed me to calculate the
braking distance of my car, and then apply that information to
determine a braking point for each corner. This was excellent
information and I find myself applying it constantly to my
driving habit on the road only a week later.

Twice during the day I encountered the members of a
girl’s soccer team in the restroom. The first time, one of the
girls asked if I was a professional race car driver. I immediately
giggled and said, “No, just having some fun.” But when I
encountered more of the same team later in the day, I surprisingly
responded with a proud “yup” before I even realized I
opened my mouth. Could this be a subconscious recognition
of my goal in life? The girls responded, “that’s so cool,” and
as I walked out of the restroom waving bye to my new friends,
I sighed giddily after my first encounter with fan adulation.
I sure am glad the PCA and Maverick Region decided to
let the younger crowd learn a bit about car control in an
autocross setting. It was pure fun packed with good information
(thanks, Lisa and School Crew!). I am planning to run the
entire autocross series, so hope to see you there! Does anybody

Christmas at Hope Shelter
By Lanean Hughes & Wendy Shoffit
Once again this year, the Maverick Region was able to help
out at the Hope Shelter during the 2002 Christmas season.
Many members contributed gifts, stuffed animals, stockings,
and stocking stuffers. Several deliveries were made during the
month of December, all gifts were well received and enjoyed by
everyone at the shelter.
Dorothee Thielisch’s hand-made stockings were great, they
were so big that some of the children could almost fit inside
them! If you attended the holiday party at the Leibel’s house, you
probably helped to contribute to the the huge pile of stuffed
animals and toys under (and around) the Christmas tree. Can
you believe that all of that plush was squeezed into Lanean’s 944
Turbo for the trip out to the shelter? We joked that if Lanean got
pulled over while driving home that night, that she would surely
be able to talk herself out of that situation. What police officer
could resist all those cute bears staring out of the back window?
Here are some photographs to help us remember the season
and maybe even start thinking about what we will be doing to
help this worthy cause throughout 2003.

Autocross 101
By Bob Lewis
This past fall I purchased a Porsche. After the sale I was told
that PCA organized great events. I was told that they provided
an opportunity to exercise the car and your abilities. Some
events were held at high speed race tracks. My eyes glazed over in
anticipation. I later found a Slipstream and discovered where and how
to join. After receiving my first Slipstream I saw an announcement for
a DE event. I applied. There was a new member welcoming party
which I attended. There I was encouraged to attend Autocross events
to learn some of the potential of my car. After all, the car has too much
speed to test it’s limits among the civilians on urban streets.
When I enrolled in Intro Autocross 101 I thought that this
venue might be classroom only. As it turned out a classroom might
have been a welcome break from the weather, but that’s another
story. The morning was filled with exercises for the car and driver.
My group started with braking. Next we went to a counterclockwise
skid pad. Then we went on to a clockwise skid pad. Lastly, we had 3
slaloms with different cone placements. These were comprised of a
constant distance between cones, an increasing, and decreasing
distances between cones.
We were assigned an instructor for the entire day. This
instructor was with us each time we drove the car. What a great
method to learn. At each exercise he drove first and explained the
good, bad, and ugly of the strategy of that exercise. Then we got to
drive and discovered the ugly, bad and sometimes the good of our
maneuvers.
Photo by Matt Platts
We had a drivers meeting that outlined the morning activities
and previewed the afternoon. My first exercise was the braking one.
I launched the car at full throttle. At something past 7,000 RPM in
second I hit the brakes. The car stopped short by a couple of feet
Bob Lewis getting the “feel” for his new C4S
from the target line. The next times I slowed somewhat, but each
time was beyond the target line by a few feet. The car stopped in
much less distance and time than I expected.
18
The next two exercises were on the skid pads. We learned that the
car would take a different radius with only a modulation of
the throttle. I held the steering wheel in one position and was able to
change the line of the car using just the throttle. Later in the day I was
a corner worker at a skid pad and was able to see the other cars doing
this very thing. Having both experiences was very educational.
...At something past 7,000 RPM in
second I hit the brakes...
Next were the three slaloms. My instruction, Jason, showed how
to blip the throttle at strategic places to bring the rear end around
the cones. They were telling us that the best line is a straight one
with only minor amounts of steering wheel action. I was to feel the
handling action thru my seat. I either need more practice or thinner
pants. I could conceptualize the throttle steering but didn’t seem to
reduce it to practice very well. I need more practice with this
skill. It should be pretty easy but would be tailored to your car’s
performance.
We broke for lunch. The event leadership arranged the cones
into an autocross track. We had a drivers meeting. They showed us
how this track layout was an extension of the very exercises we had
practiced in the morning. They added a 360 degree hairpin which I
never did do as well as had hoped. My times decreased except for the
last time where I think I reverted to my instincts not the teaching.
Knowing our times was great instant gratification.
It was an awakening to see an automatic heavy Corvette have
the fastest times among the students. The he and she drivers of this
car were able to accelerate between the sections of the track and
brake with their left foot. I did not practice that. He and his wife
were experienced autocross participants according to my instructor.
The Miatas displayed a great deal of balance and turned in good
times also. Horsepower was not a much of a requirement for this
track design. You needed great handling, knowledge of your car’s
potential, and the skill to unleash it.
The weather was cold and very windy this Sunday. The wind
chill factor must have been well below freezing. There were twenty
or so Maverick Region volunteers out in this miserable weather
helping us newbies learn the ropes. These people must be fanatical
and dedicated. They seem to be my kind of people. When I commit
to something it takes an awful lot of bad things for me not to show
up. All of the students owe a debt of gratitude to those organizing
this event. My instructor did not drive a sport type of car to the
track. I offered to let him drive mine during the fun runs, but he
declined. After two days his face was wind burned, he was cold, and
only wanted a hot bath at home.
I had a great time. Thanks again to those that worked at this
event.

Time Trial 104
by James Shoffit
It was early on a Saturday morning when we arrived. Wendy and
I had spent the night at the new Best Western in Mineral Wells
(four thumbs up, by the way!), and quickly noticed the cars were
all covered in a thick frost. The drive to the MineralRing saw the
temperature dip 30...29...28...27...26... where it stopped and started
moving back up. The sun was soon up, and the clear day without
wind slowly warmed us as we unloaded the car, set up timing,
trailer, and course.
Charlie Davis was taking a few spins in John Garcia’s
Formula Atlantic race car to see if his size-12 body would fit in
the size-5 car. Someone yelled “hey, the space shuttle should be
passing over!”
Eyes turned upward, we saw the streak – air molecules

miles per hour reentering our atmosphere 40 miles up. Then
something seemed to fall off. Then another something, and then
another. Soon the main streak split into two, and we heard a loud
boom. We hoped that this was normal reentry process, but the
radio soon confirmed nagging doubts.
The time trial school went on, though it was somewhat
delayed in the confusion. Once underway, students and
instructors alike were treated to a year’s worth of time trials
all compressed into a single day for one low, low price.
The day started with everyone working on Course 1.
Students and instructors were paired up, hopped in a car with the
instructor driving, and were treated to 3 slow(er) laps each,

who was the student and who was the instructor. They both
complained about their instructors and about having students
that just wouldn’t listen.
Chuck & Noby disagreeing about the line
Bill Miller learned the most valuable lesson – never bring
really old tires to ANY event and try to drive on them. His spins
resulted in at least 3 new nicknames : calls of “Spin Miller”,“Thrill
Miller”, and “Tractor Bill” followed him around all day.
(I won’t mention the times that Wendy and I ended up kneedeep
in weeds – or John Garcia nearly lost a wheel)

Many thanks go to the organizers and contributors – Kevin
Hardison, Cody Sears, and Wendy Shoffit, to name a few.
Let’s hope we do this one again next year – it was the best
value I have seen!
Ben Hartsell crosses the finish line
followed by two more sets of 3 hot laps. Then the driver became
the passenger in the former passenger’s car and again did a set of
3 slower laps, followed by 2 sets of 3 laps. Then worker changes,
rinse, and repeat.
Then we set up course 2 and each entrant had 2 sets of 3 hot
laps both as a driver and a passenger. Then the same was repeated
for course 3. The day was finished off with a shootout for top
time of day (which can’t be published since this was a school).
The newest people to time trials received instruction from
the most experienced drivers, while those closer together in skill
were often placed together. Chuck and Noby are still fighting over

Rally School
by Russell McLellan
From the passenger seat, my partner’s eyes darted back and forth
between the surrounding landscape and a set of directions that
slightly resembled Egyptian Hieroglyphics as he tried to find the
next turn. I watched the speedometer for any movement off 25, and
tried to estimate how much faster I should go to compensate for the
last Stop sign.
Why were two people so concentrated on driving 25 mph which
should be so easy for one of the best performance cars in the world?
We were competing in our first T-S-D (Time-Speed-Distance) Rally.
We, along with about 20 other people, had spent the morning
attending Maverick Region’s Rally School. We learned how to read a
tulip diagram, understand “all” the rules, e.g. what is a “rally road,
and what is not. Most importantly for that day’s competition, what
was “protection”. Which turned out to be a concept that would trip
up many cars during the afternoon, including ours?
We learned that the key to a T-S-D rally was to have the closest

Tough... Really!
time to the “perfect” time calculated in advance by the Rally master.
That time would be measured at a series of checkpoints on course,
and we would not know the location of those checkpoints. If we got
off course we would not only add time as we found our way back, but
we might actually miss a checkpoint. It seems that good Rally Master
could, and would, put traps along the course that would allow us to
continue on what appeared to be the course, but in fact wasn’t.
Photo by Matt Platts
We also found out why a Rally master was that diabolical.
Besides making the course more challenging for us, they and their
team, had invested about 150 hours and driven about 1000 miles to
create our 50 plus mile course.
So what was all this about? What’s a rally? Why are they so
challenging, and maybe most importantly, why were we all doing this?
A classroom full of enthusiastic students
I had heard about road rallies ever since my fascination with
sports cars had begun many years ago. I never really understood what
was involved, let alone why so many people, both amateurs and professionals,
were involved in rallies around the world. Maverick
Region gave me the opportunity to get the scoop a few Saturdays ago!
Teri Davis from the Maverick Region had assembled a great
team of people to take our class through everything we needed know
24
to compete in a Rally. We learned there are several different types of
rallies. Routed rallies like the Time-Speed-Distance type that we’re
going to do that afternoon, and Gimmick routed rallies. Gimmick
rallies which might be a scavenger hunt, Hare and Hounds where the
hare (The leader) leaves markers along the course and the hounds
(the competitors) have to follow the route; and Poker Runs where
instead of a time slip at each checkpoint you get a “card”. Finally
Performance Rallies that include SCCA national ProRallies and
divisional ClubRallies. These are done on blocked roads and are run
like Routed Rallies.
Then we were on the course. A course that required both of us
to totally concentrate on our respective jobs. His as navigator, which
I quickly learned I was totally dependent, and mine as driver, on
which he was totally dependent. A great part of rallying is that it truly
is a partnership and a shared competition. We found out later in the

Teri Davis & Carey Spreen clarify with a diagram
After a great morning of cramming our heads full of an amazing
amount of information we were off to the roads around Texas Motor
Speedway for some practice runs before the afternoon’s actual
rally. We practiced how we would communicate directions, share
decisions, and generally tried to figure out together how we were
going to end up finishing with a respectable, and hopefully winning,
time.
Apparently Mark & Lisa had enough time to stop for refreshments...
day that we managed to finish in the middle of the group, but more
importantly had learned a lot and had met, and spent a wonderful
day with, a group of terrific people.
Would we do it again? Absolutely! In fact a few emails have
been exchanged “plotting” our next event, and beginning to develop
our strategy. We had a chance to discover a new and curiously very

Some people drove the family van, while others were their in their

“must try” list.
