Road Ramblings<br />

by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President<br />

<strong>November</strong> is the month when our track<br />

driving and competitive driving events<br />

complete for the year. For <strong>2003</strong>, no more<br />

Autocrosses, Time-Trials, Drivers Educations,<br />

or Maverick-Sponsored Club Racing. Looking<br />

at this year from that perspective leaves me<br />

feeling fulfilled. We had four autocross and<br />

time trial driving schools, seven autocrosses,<br />

six time trials, four drivers educations at racetracks, and our<br />

annual club race. We also had a rally school, two rallies, and a<br />

few Concours Events. We hold our annual region dinner,<br />

Founder’s Day in <strong>November</strong>. This year it’s on <strong>November</strong> 8th at<br />

the Speedway Club at Texas Motor Speedway. Founder’s Day is<br />

our annual celebration of the founding and tradition of<br />

Maverick Region. We vote and submit ballots for the upcoming<br />

year’s officers and present awards and recognize members for<br />

outstanding service and contribution to the region. We also give<br />

out trophies to the competitors who drove in Autocrosses and<br />

Time Trials during the year and placed. There is a silent auction,<br />

many door prizes you can win, and a great time for socializing<br />

with fellow Mavericks. I hope you’re reading this knowing you’ll<br />

be joining us, and if not, you’ll think about coming to Founder’s<br />

Day next year. While the competitive driving season is over, the<br />

calendar is not empty. There are still many activities and events<br />

going on between now and the end of the year.<br />

...While the competitive driving season is<br />

over, the calendar is not empty...<br />

Now that the weather has changed, on a completely<br />

different note, exterior car-care can be a big part of the<br />

Porsche-nut’s mentality. Some folks do it all by themselves<br />

while others utilize detailing services or automatic or hand car<br />

washes. Of the do-it-yourself crowd I’ve talked to people who<br />

buy more expensive car care products and those who purchase<br />

lower-priced items readily available at auto parts stores and<br />

Wal-Mart, etc. I wonder what is really the ultimate system?<br />

I have chatted with people pretty well versed in everything<br />

from hiding swirl marks to removing Cosmoline from their<br />

undercarriage on a newer Porsche. I’m looking for that<br />

ultimate combination of an easy-to-use, best quality, yet<br />

inexpensive set of products. I have always been careful about<br />

keeping my cars clean and waxed, but never really had a<br />

“system” that included every step- where you park your car,<br />

covers, washing schedules and the like. So I made up my own<br />

“system” that is reasonably cheap and fast to follow. I<br />

developed this system by asking many people about their<br />

methods for keeping their Porsches shiny and wear-free.<br />

I decided that when I traded my first Boxster S in for<br />

a newer one, I would attempt to develop a complete<br />

maintenance “lifestyle” for that car- something I had never<br />

done before. Let me explain: I put 20,000 miles on the first<br />

Boxster in just under 2 years time, and did nothing<br />

exceptional to prevent or eliminate rock nicks, fallout, or<br />

normal abuse. I washed the car whenever it got fairly dirty and<br />

waxed it once every 3 months, tops. Let me give the conclusion<br />

first, by saying that this new Boxster S has 17,000 miles on it<br />

in 17 months and it looks light-years better than the first one.<br />

It has been on the racetrack, autocrossed, and driven on the<br />

highway a lot. So let me share with you what I did:<br />

First, as far as prevention, I use a Porsche nose bra to cover<br />

the front of the car. It is installed about 75 percent of the time.<br />

This bra has eliminated most front paint chips (especially at<br />

Drivers Education events and on the highway). I wash the bra<br />

when I wash the car and then remove it and wash the nose of<br />

the car. I never put the bra on wet, and always put it on a clean<br />

car. Another approach is the 3M clear protective pieces that<br />

can be glued to most surfaces- rocker panels, hoods, bumpers<br />

and fenders. Racecars use this material a lot. The film is almost<br />

invisible and looks great. That solves the problem bras<br />

generate- beautiful car- ugly plastic nose mitten. You can buy<br />

sheets of this protective film or pre-cut specific model designs<br />

for bras, etc. It’s a squeegee and patience job I’m told. It comes<br />

off with a heat gun. In the future I may attempt to install some<br />

of this myself, or have it done by an installer. Second, I<br />

installed small mud-flaps (yes, you read that correctly) from<br />

Tweeks that are not obtrusive and protect the front and rear<br />

rocker panels from debris and dirt kicked up by the tires.<br />

Third, I bought a car cover and use it whenever the car spends<br />

the night outside. Finally, when I go to the track or an<br />

autocross, I use some racers tape strategically placed around<br />

the wheel well arches and rear bumper to keep additional<br />

rocks off the paint. I use mineral spirits or products like<br />

“Goof-Off” to get the goo off after I remove the tape. The car<br />

is nearly chip-free.<br />

I also decided to try a fast detailing method for the<br />

exterior. I buy the gallon sizes of Meguiars car wash and Quick<br />

Detail from www.carcareonline.com, Eagle-1 “Wax-as-U-Dry”<br />

from Wal-Mart, and Costco’s gallon-size Kirkland version of<br />

Simple Green. I use the Meguiars car wash and then the Eagle-1.<br />

That “Wax-as-U-dry” is great. Spray it on a wet car and dry as<br />

usual. The car feels waxed and smooth. I use the Quick Detail<br />

spray a couple of times per month also. I use the Costco green<br />

cleaner on the wheels and inside fender wells. I have yet to<br />

actually wax the car. But I will soon, and will use 3M Imperial<br />

Hand Glaze followed by Meguiars #26 yellow wax.<br />

I also learned about micro-fiber towels for applying and<br />

removing products. These towels leave no little threads, fuzz<br />

etc. on the surface. They can be bought from body shop supply<br />

stores, carcareonline above, and Griots garage, among other<br />

sources. They, however, are not cheap! I’m thinking of buying<br />

the gallon of car wash and the spray detailer from Griots<br />

Garage when my current Meguiars inventory runs out to try<br />

something different. I assume some company manufactures<br />

chemicals for Griots as he is a retailer, but if one of you know<br />

more, please let me know. Till next month then, keep the shiny<br />

side up, the greasy side down, and clean the grease off.<br />

Perfect Service Award - and the only one in the Lone Star State - we were, shall<br />

Curves Ahead<br />

by Matt Platts, Editor<br />

As I write this, we've had a blast of a cold<br />

front come through. I hope that last week<br />

was the end of our 90 degree temperatures<br />

for a few months, I'm looking forward to<br />

hitting the roads with the windows open and a<br />

cool breeze flowing through the car.<br />

The fall driving season is winding down, I<br />

hope everyone made it out to as many events<br />

as they could. I know I was planning on driving more this year,<br />

but things never work out as planned, do they? This season<br />

appears to be tour season - the Arkansas tour was a hit, Fall Day<br />

Tour is coming up on the 15th followed by the North Texas Hill<br />

Country Scenic Drive on the 22nd. The Fall Day Tour departs<br />

from Mesquite on Hwy 80, while the North Texas Hill Country<br />

Scenic Drive departs "out west" in Fort Worth on University<br />

Drive. I'm intrigued by the Scenic Drive as it's promoted as<br />

being either (your choice) a TSD Rally or an instructed tour.<br />

I'm not much of a rally-ist, so I'm thinking about the<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Mimi Spreen<br />

The Board meeting was held at Park Place<br />

Porsche on Tuesday, October 7 and<br />

called to order at 7:06pm.<br />

Attendees: Cody Sears, Noby Takahashi,<br />

Mike Brodigan, Dennis Chamberlain, Joel<br />

Nannis, Wendy Shoffit, Lanean Hughes, Bob<br />

Knight, Tinker Edwards, Michael Wingfield,<br />

Keith Olcha, Mark Gluck and Mimi Spreen.<br />

Keith - Brought financials (really income statements) and<br />

expenditures which were passed out to everyone. Discussion<br />

took place about publishing these and a decision was made to<br />

have them at the Board Meetings on a quarterly basis.<br />

Wendy - with the Matt hat on. Article deadline is 10/12<br />

which will help in finishing by the 17 or 18 and will be able to<br />

get the Ussery by the 20th of the month. Thanx to Wendy.<br />

Many articles are still needed and "volunteers" will submit to<br />

Matt. This issue is looking a little thin, so articles are needed.<br />

Wendy, as Wendy - Regarding the <strong>Slipstream</strong> mailings that<br />

have been discussed in length, we will do a trial run to iron out<br />

any problems with labels and if the printing of the labels<br />

works out ok, then we will proceed. Andy Mears is working on<br />

obtaining a bulk mail permit. Motion made to set a limit of<br />

$300.00 for outside <strong>Slipstream</strong> mailings, seconded and passed.<br />

Also, a grad student at Texas Tech is working on designing a<br />

new web site as part of her thesis. Will have more on that in<br />

the next few months.<br />

Joel - members are good. He has received a few responses<br />

to letters he sent out regarding renewals. Only 1 of 5 wanted<br />

to renew and tried on line with National, who was having a<br />

problem with their on line process. Joel will continue for 1<br />

more month and see if it is worthwhile. He believes that<br />

during and after Parade 04, membership will increase by<br />

about 100.<br />

instructed tour. I don't know exactly where the "North Texas<br />

Hill Country" is, but I'm guessing it's many of the same roads<br />

that I strafe with my motorcycle every other Sunday. I'm really<br />

looking forward to it. RSVP to Ted Glover or Teri Davis for the<br />

appropriate event if you would like to join the fun.<br />

I've heard that our Happy Hours have been a hit lately,<br />

even in poor weather. The Railhead Smokehouse turned out to<br />

be a bit soggy in September. I remember to our first Happy<br />

Hour at the RPM Cafe last spring and was pleasantly surprised<br />

with the turnout and setting. It sounds like the Maverick return<br />

to that location was even more popular in October. The<br />

upcoming Happy Hour is shaping up to be something new and<br />

different... we are going to The Abbey of Richardson. This will<br />

be a new Happy Hour location for us and it looks like we will<br />

be entertained by one of the Happy Hour hosts, Dennis<br />

Chamberlain. Dennis and his friend Stephanie perform at<br />

various local clubs, but this is a special presentation just for our<br />

club. I can't wait!<br />

Bob - will have more expenditures that weren't on the list<br />

that Keith passed out, that will effect the bottom line. Updated<br />

budgets for Parade 04 needed from committee chair.<br />

Mike Brodigan - 5 new prospects for advertisers. Will<br />

check with Matt to see how much room we have for new<br />

advertisers. Would like to ask advertisers to write a short<br />

statement that they would like readers to know about them, ie:<br />

new concepts, new products. Mike will put together a letter<br />

notifying advertisers of this new idea. He would also like to put<br />

together a Parade edition to be included in the June <strong>Slipstream</strong><br />

or be a stand alone issue that has Ft. Worth restaurants and<br />

other places where Parade attendees can go or visit while in Ft.<br />

Worth. Mike is asking for help in putting that together.<br />

Suggested that he talk to Jan and Fran about ideas.<br />

Cody - tech at the track went well. Had a good turnout.<br />

There was a pretty large oil spill on the track that made it<br />

necessary to change the course to avoid the spill. Pennington's<br />

2004 dates have been firmed up, but still trying to firm up<br />

dates at Mineral Wells.<br />

Dennis - The October 16th Happy Hour is at RPM, which<br />

used to be Cafe Vienna. BYOB and cheap food. Lots of<br />

parking and can use the outdoor patio if weather is nice. The<br />

<strong>November</strong> 20th HH is at Abbey in Richardson with musical<br />

entertainment.<br />

Lanean - Scheduling committee met and 2004 dates are<br />

set. Founder's Day is right around the corner and would like<br />

to get as many people to attend as possible. The Residence Inn<br />

near TMS is offering a $69.00 per night rate for the night of<br />

October 25, the Halloween party, which puts you right there<br />

for the Charity Autocross the next day and also for Founder's<br />

Day, Nov. 8.<br />

Motion made to adjourn the meeting at 8:15, seconded<br />

and approved.<br />

Happy Hour at Railhead Smokehouse<br />

by Dennis Chamberlain<br />

Twenty-eight hearty Mavericks<br />

braved the storms and outrageous<br />

traffic to attend the<br />

happy hour at the Railhead<br />

Smokehouse in Colleyville on<br />

September 11. I didn’t see any<br />

Cayennes, but on this particular<br />

evening I wish I’d owned one.<br />

Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Most of us were the hardcore<br />

Tinker Edwards, and Mark Gluck constituents, but we also had first<br />

time attendee Mitch Ballard from<br />

Coppell. It is interesting to note that Mitch has been a Maverick<br />

member since 2001, but this was his first time he’d attended one<br />

of our events. He has previously been a member of the New<br />

Orleans Region. He acquired his ’86 911 in 1996, and has spent<br />

the last couple of years working on it. Now that it’s all fixed up,<br />

he said he isn’t inclined to take it to the track. But no problem –<br />

he just bought a 944 turbo for that purpose.<br />

The Railhead is well-suited for our happy hours. The serving<br />

line works well for us, with no waiters, and the food and beverage<br />

prices can’t be beat.<br />

We’ll have some musical entertainment<br />

that evening (see ad on<br />

Page 2). The Abbey has an extensive<br />

menu, and it’s very reasonably<br />

priced.<br />

After the October Happy Hour<br />

at RPM Café in Irving, we’ll have<br />

our first happy hour ever in<br />

Richardson on <strong>November</strong> 20. The<br />

location will be at the Richardson<br />

Abbey (at Coit and Campbell).<br />

Driver Education at MotorSport Ranch<br />

By Chris Irby<br />

Irecently attended the last DE of <strong>2003</strong> for the Maverick Region,<br />

at MotorSport Ranch sponsored by Boardwalk Porsche. I have<br />

attended events put on by other organizations before, but this<br />

was my first time to drive with the Porsche Club. I felt like this event<br />

was run much better than those held by the other organizations.<br />

Our run groups always went out on time and in an orderly manner,<br />

the catered barbecue lunch was great, and I always felt safe while I<br />

was on the track during the run sessions. This event was the most<br />

fun I have ever had at any of the track events that I attended.<br />

My instructor, Mike Brodigan, was a great teacher and a really<br />

big help to me on the track. He was able to show me a new line<br />

that I had never run before. This new line felt much more comfortable<br />

and much faster than the line that I had previously<br />

learned. I really appreciate all of the help he was able to provide<br />

for me.<br />

On Saturday, Boardwalk Porsche provided cheeseburgers,<br />

hot dogs, and all the fixings after the track had cleared in the<br />

evening. The cookout was a great idea and also a great way to finish<br />

a long day at the racetrack. Thank you: Larry Irby, Cindy Irby,<br />

Chris Alford, Archie VanScoonhoven, and Laura VanScoonhoven<br />

for all of your time and efforts to provide a great dinner for all of<br />

us at the track.<br />

MSR’s clubhouse is a cool place to watch the action from<br />

I am really excited that the Maverick Region was able to<br />

expand their schedule of track events for next year. After my<br />

wonderful experience with this last event, I can’t wait to get back<br />

out to the track again with the Maverick Region next year.<br />

...I can’t wait to get back out on the track<br />

again with Maverick Region...<br />

Cliff Blackshear was also at the event, on behalf of Boardwalk<br />

Porsche, to provide mechanical services to participants when<br />

needed. Cliff always seemed to be busy looking into several of the<br />

different technical problems that arose throughout the weekend.<br />

I’m sure there are several participants who greatly appreciate all<br />

of the efforts and services put forth by Cliff throughout the weekend.<br />

Since Hans Hoffmann, Cliff Blackshear, and myself were at<br />

the event as members of Boardwalk Auto Group, there were several<br />

people, throughout the weekend, who showed us their appreciation<br />

for our support. It felt good to know that everyone really<br />

appreciated all of Boardwalk Porsche’s efforts to help the<br />

Maverick Region run an excellent event to finish up for <strong>2003</strong>.<br />

Leadfoot Reunion<br />

By Noby Takahashi<br />

Ahhh, late September. When the north Texas weather starts to<br />

become bearable and fall is right around the corner. Oh,<br />

that’s right; I keep on forgetting that Texas doesn’t have four<br />

seasons. In any case, it’s the time of year where the competitive<br />

driving season for Maverick Region nears an end and we try to lure<br />

the old (in experience, not age) leadfoots back out to Mineral Wells.<br />

The Leadfoot Reunion for <strong>2003</strong> consisted of Time Trial #5 on<br />

Saturday utilizing Course 2 and a huge course designed by Rocky<br />

Johnson on Sunday for Autocross #6.<br />

I loaded up my Boxster S on the new open trailer and towed<br />

out to Mineral Wells on Friday evening. Since I left Dallas a little<br />

late, I missed the gang having dinner at Baris. I also missed hitting<br />

cement poles sticking out of the ground, for which my trailer<br />

fender (and my bank account) was very grateful. After a good<br />

night’s sleep at the Executive Palace and a greasy #1 breakfast at<br />

Braum’s, I headed out Mineral Ring to find out that a large group<br />

of people had shown up before 7AM. On-site tech and Intro to<br />

Time Trial 101 overview both seemed to work out just fine and<br />

the Driver’s Meeting commenced on time at 9AM.<br />

I found out that my only competition in Class 7 was going to<br />

be Tom Lang in his Boxster S. Well, it wasn’t going to be a day to<br />

get a very high Driver’s Index. Course 2 is the one with a 90°<br />

right-hander in the back left corner and the long infield. Quite<br />

gravelly as usual and that darn pothole seems to be getting larger<br />

for the 90° right-hander. I just didn’t drive very aggressively and<br />

Walking the autocross course on Sunday morning was interesting,<br />

it took nearly 30 minutes to walk it once. This event also<br />

gave Charlie an opportunity to roll out some of the equipment<br />

being prepared for Parade ’04. The event was delayed slightly in<br />

the morning, due to an oil leak on Rick Gonzales’ good looking<br />

914-6. We even had to modify the course to avoid the slick spots.<br />

After all was said and done, Mark Steele looked really smooth in<br />

his 993 and took TToD honors. Since I usually don’t excel at<br />

autocrosses, there isn’t much to talk about my driving on Sunday.<br />

...Mineral Wells wasn’t miserable<br />

for a change...<br />

Many thanks to everyone that showed up to make this a great<br />

weekend and Mineral Wells wasn’t miserable for a change. We<br />

were all blessed with excellent weather for the entire weekend.<br />

Special thanks to Richard Diller, Tom Lang and the Gohlke’s for<br />

showing up on Saturday, Richard for watching all of our cars and<br />

trailers on Saturday night, and Richard (once again), Ed Mayo,<br />

Fran Ussery and our illustrious Prez Keith Olcha showing up on<br />

his birthday (what was it, 50th?) for the autocross.<br />

PS Rick Randall owes me 5 gallons of 87 octane gas, I was<br />

planning on putting that in Machala’s Boxster…<br />

[See page 24 event results and series standings]<br />

my time lagged behind Rocky and Chuck. Currently, I am blaming<br />

my slower times on the 18” Kinesis wheels I bought from<br />

Rocky. Like my golf game, it has to be the equipment, not the<br />

operator. The big highlight of Saturday was watching Cody Sears<br />

borrow the Gohlke’s 914 and rip out a TToD, beating out an<br />

excellent time by Richard Diller. Before I forget, there was a cone<br />

down on every one of my afternoon hot laps, and Cody was in<br />

front of me. Did anyone call in those cones on Car Number ‘66’?<br />

We had a large turnout for the dinner at Baris. I can’t repeat<br />

what Chuck had to say about my driving in this publication, but<br />

I agreed wholeheartedly (or should I have hit him over the head<br />

with my anchovy pizza?). Rocky rode with me during Fun Runs<br />

and had very similar comments; I was losing a lot of time in the<br />

hairpin turn. Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.<br />

ALMS Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca<br />

by Bill and Marilyn Stafford<br />

The signs were all there. Crowds, noise, pits full of unimaginably<br />

expensive equipment and the wafting smell of Track<br />

Burgers cooking over an open fire – but wait! Where is the<br />

fog and cold? Not here! Thus began the first of the three days of the<br />

American LeMans Race Series at Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca<br />

with absolutely perfect weather.<br />

The weekend began on Friday with a ceremony, cake and<br />

dedication of the “Rahal Straight”. Racing legend Bobby Rahal<br />

was on hand while being honored by the naming of the back<br />

straight (from the exit of Turn 6 up the hill and through the Turn<br />

7 kink to the entrance of the Corkscrew) as the “Rahal Straight”.<br />

The “Rahal Straight” joins the Andretti Hairpin – Turn 2 and the<br />

Rainey Curve – Turn 9, as three named sections of the track (the<br />

Corkscrew being named for a particular movement – I think).<br />

Saturday was a copy of Friday, weather wise, and Steve Saleen<br />

made the most of it by trotting out his new limited series road<br />

car, the Saleen S7. It was debuted at the Monterey Historics' a<br />

couple of weeks earlier where an MSRP of $395,000 is considered<br />

chump change. Nice mid-engined 7 liter, 550 hp, 2750-pound<br />

rocket with guillotine doors that goes 150 mph sitting still.<br />

The ALMS race was a real seat grabber.<br />

As is usual at this track, a very crowded first turn disrupted<br />

many teams’ strategies as cold tires and cold brakes coupled with<br />

an excess of adrenaline to produce multiple car contacts. In the P<br />

900 class Frank Beila in the No.1 Audi took control of the race<br />

from the start, although Johnny Herbert (Champion Audi #38)<br />

chased him initially, he eventually fell back with boost problems<br />

caused by a circuit breaker. Didn’t Bosch buy Lucas? Anyway,<br />

Herbert fiddled around with the spark box and reset the breaker.<br />

Not long after, in his haste to catch up to the leaders, he trashed<br />

the car’s gearbox. The Champion crew changed the gearbox in<br />

9 minutes. J.J. Lehto then set off on a truly remarkable drive<br />

and brought the 38 car back to a third place finish in class.<br />

Frank Biela and Marco Werner cruised to a victory with the 1 car<br />

Joest Racing/Infineon Audi R. The victory clinched the<br />

American LeMans Series P900 Manufacturers Championship for<br />

Audi – again.<br />

In the P 675 class James Weaver and Butch Leitzinger earned<br />

honors despite James being helped off the course by slower<br />

traffic at the end of the first hour. “One of the GT Porsches<br />

Photo by Bill Stafford<br />

moved me up into the marbles and I slid off the track” explained<br />

Weaver. “I ended up in the tire wall, but didn’t damage the car<br />

and was able to reverse, but it cost us 44 seconds.” It did not<br />

sound this coherent when he said it, however.<br />

The Guard seems to be on the verge of changing for next<br />

year’s GTS class, which has recently been dominated by the<br />

Factory Corvettes. ACEMCO Motorsports announced this weekend<br />

that they would be campaigning a new Saleen S7R in the<br />

entire 2004 American LeMans Series. Bobby Rahal also expressed<br />

interest in campaigning a Ferrari next year in GTS.<br />

The two Prodrive Ferrari 550 Maranellos originally swept the<br />

GTS honors, even lapping the rival Corvette, but the winning car<br />

of Tomas Enge was excluded from the results following the postrace<br />

inspection for failing the “stall test”. This is a procedure in<br />

which the engine’s primary air intake is blocked off and the car is<br />

...it’s not too late to become a legend and have a<br />

piece of real estate named after you...<br />

supposed to stall to verify that only air passing through the<br />

regulatory air restrictor is getting to the engine. It did not. The<br />

other Ferrari passed the test and was awarded the win, with the<br />

two Corvettes elevated to 2nd and 3rd. Anyway, it looks as if the<br />

GTS class may have some welcome and needed competition for<br />

the fans.<br />

Sascha Maassen and Lucas Luhr ruled the GT category once<br />

again and claimed the GT class drivers’ championship for the 2nd<br />

straight year. Sascha Maassen (#23- GT Porsche) took the lead<br />

early in the race passing teammate Timo Bernhard (#24 – GT<br />

Porsche). “It was a Sunday afternoon cruise for me,” grinned<br />

Lucas Luhr because Sascha had done all the work. The only<br />

problem they had was their radio went out so they had to communicate<br />

using the pit board. The #24 Alex Job Porsche 911 GT3<br />

RS was plagued with problems throughout the day. They had to<br />

change both the battery and the alternator and eventually were<br />

forced to end the day early. Placing second in GT was the<br />

Risi Competition GT Ferrari 360 Modena driven by Ralf<br />

Kelleners and Anthony Lazzaro. The White Lightning/Petersen<br />

Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 RS driven by Johnny Mowlem, Nic<br />

Jonsson and Craig Stanton placed third.<br />

22


The SPEED GT and Grand Touring races were also held<br />

during the weekend. The SPEED World Challenge<br />

Championships feature a weight-equalization system, REWARDS<br />

(Rewarding of Equalizing Weight Assigned to Reduce Drive<br />

Sensitivity) is based on each competitors finishing position in<br />

each race (basic VooDoo). It is accomplished by adding or<br />

removing ballast weight from the cars. The goal is to provide<br />

close on-track competition between diverse varieties of cars. The<br />

REWARDS weight is displayed on the windshield of each car<br />

(probably to impair visibility). This appears to have limited Bill<br />

Auberlen and the other BMW team cars from running away and<br />

hiding from the rest of the class as they did at Infineon Raceway.<br />

Just don’t ask what they do if they have a driver change.<br />

30 Randy Pobst #2 Audi RS 6<br />

20 Paul Mumford #23 Dodge Viper<br />

Randy Pobst and Michael Galati driving Audi RS 6s swept<br />

the front row. Randy described the car like this: “The Audi RS 6<br />

has always qualified well. The Quattro advantage that this car has<br />

drives all four wheels and has a twin turbo V8, which is pretty<br />

much out of the street car. It’s one of the only (unmodified)<br />

street engines running in this series.” Randy also compared the<br />

Audi to the Porsche 911, which he had raced for 5 years. He<br />

stated that the Porsche has power and speed that are addictive,<br />

but the Audi has the torque. This is the first year they are running<br />

the A6 and it is improving with every race. Unfortunately, the<br />

Audis encountered several problems during the race and could<br />

not keep pace with the Viper and the BMWs.<br />

In SCCA SPEED Touring Car class, Bill Auberlen’s<br />

BMW 325i was accessed 200 pounds compared to his closest<br />

competitor’s 65 pounds. The 200 pounds did not prevent Bill<br />

from winning the race.<br />

The Pit Rat Investigates the Factory Sponsored vs. Privateer<br />

Status: Recently, ALMS announced that Alex Job Racing was<br />

losing their privateer status in the ALMS GT class. This means<br />

that the #23 and #24 Porsches are not eligible for each event<br />

purse. What does this mean to Alex Job Racing and should ALMS<br />

treat them any differently than the Champion Audi Team, the<br />

Joest Team, Panoz Team, or the Corvette Team? All of these teams<br />

including the Alex Job Team have factory drivers. The Alex Job<br />

team does receive developmental parts from Porsche that still<br />

Photo by Bill Stafford<br />

need to be tested for quality and reliability. This is both good<br />

and bad. (They have had a head crack after one race.) They are<br />

field-testing the parts, similar to a beta software release. It does<br />

save the Job team from having to develop their own racing parts.<br />

Job does not receive any direct sponsorship from Porsche. If you<br />

look in the Alex Job pit, there are no signs or decals that say<br />

“Porsche North America”, but you will see “Audi North America”<br />

in the Champion and Audi pits and “Corvette/General Motors”<br />

in the Corvette pit. These teams and the Panoz team receive<br />

factory parts, but they also receive the event purse. Financially<br />

this means the Alex Job will have to raise an additional $200,000<br />

each year from sponsors. Ain’t politics grand?<br />

Finally - It’s not too late to become a legend and have a piece<br />

of real estate named after you. First you have to be successful.<br />

This can be achieved by gaining success. So work hard and<br />

save some.<br />

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Value<br />

Trust's inception date is 4/16/82. The investment return and principal<br />

value of the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares,<br />

when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.<br />

Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains<br />

distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not<br />

been waived in various periods. The S&P 500 index is based on<br />

common stock prices, including reinvestment of dividends and<br />

capital gains distributions, and is generally considered representative<br />

of the U.S. stock market. Source: Lipper Inc.<br />
