Road Ramblings<br />

by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President<br />

Well <strong>2003</strong> is here (well not really, since you<br />

have to publish <strong>Slipstream</strong> in December for a<br />

<strong>January</strong> delivery). I hope the holidays were good<br />

in all ways for each of you. I thought about<br />

naming this column “I’m KO, you’re OK…”,<br />

then I thought of “You’re OK, I’m an idiot…”<br />

so I settled on “Road Ramblings…” It’s a<br />

shameless rip-off of Road & Track Magazine’s<br />

“Miscellaneous Ramblings…” Seriously, I am<br />

very grateful to the Maverick committee for nominating me, and the<br />

region for voting me to be President this year. My greatest fear is that<br />

I won’t come close to contributing the time and effort Wendy and<br />

James Shoffit put into the position these past two years. Wendy was<br />

...We’re also going to try to rotate the<br />

board meetings around the Metroplex...<br />

also our <strong>Slipstream</strong> editor, a position now filled by Matt Platts. They<br />

did a great job and I must tell you a secret- the pay stinks! Please take<br />

note of the new and returning chair positions for the various areas<br />

of our club. These tireless contributors help make all these events<br />

happen and are far more important in total than anything the<br />

executive team could accomplish by itself. Thanks in advance to<br />

each of you for a great year ahead - your expertise is appreciated.<br />

For those of you who don’t know my background with the club,<br />

I’ve been a PCA member for twelve years, a Porsche owner for<br />

fourteen and over those years a member of three regions- Metro<br />

New York, Chicago, and Maverick (5 years this June). I’ve been lucky<br />

to be a part of large regions with vast reserves of volunteers and<br />

varying interests. When people talk about what, if anything, they<br />

miss about a place they’ve lived - and the subject of food comes up,<br />

they might say they miss the pizza, for example. Relative to PCA,<br />

I’d say my small wish list only includes just a few more regularly<br />

scheduled Concours and Rally events- not quality, just quantity. In<br />

all these areas - Tours, Socials, Autocross, Time Trials, Drivers<br />

Education, and Club Race- Maverick’s programs are as good or<br />

better than any I’ve been a part of. Can we add more Concours or<br />

Rallies- we’ll see? Our calendar is fairly full as it is.<br />

I’m hoping Mimi Spreen, our new Secretary this year, has taken<br />

delivery of her Boxster by now, as is required by the new region<br />

bylaws. Noby Takahashi, our new Vice President, Bob Knight, our<br />

returning Treasurer, and I all drive Boxster S’s. We’ve cut Mimi<br />

(a former Maverick Vice President) some slack and told her she can<br />

get either a Boxster S, or a standard Boxster to fulfill the requirement<br />

for office. On a serious note though, have you noticed that twothirds<br />

of the new members listed here each month are registering<br />

Boxsters as their Porsche? No surprise. My Boxster is the first<br />

Porsche I’ve owned with air conditioning you can actually use, and a<br />

radio that you can play FM stations instead of just AM talk radio.<br />

<strong>2003</strong> will be quite a year. In addition to the year’s regularly<br />

scheduled events including such major undertakings as our<br />

Memorial Day Club Race weekend, we’ll be finishing most of the<br />

preparation for our hosting of PCA Parade 2004, taking place in<br />

early July of that year. The Maverick Region last hosted the Porsche<br />

Parade in 1987. This will be a very ambitious undertaking with a<br />

Drivers Education and Club Race scheduled in concert with the<br />

traditional Parade activities. Downtown Fort Worth, and the Texas<br />

Motor Speedway will be the nuclei for the 2004 Porsche Parade.<br />

You’ll see and read more about Parade 2004 as momentum gathers<br />

this year, and we report the results. We’ll need your help as volunteers<br />

and you’ll read more about that too. Consider attending the <strong>2003</strong><br />

Parade in Tampa this year in June. There will even be a Drivers<br />

Education event at the famous Sebring International Raceway.<br />

Speaking a little closer to home, schedule wise - there are a few<br />

<strong>January</strong> events I’d like to point out that are happening this month:<br />

First, we’ve got our first Happy Hour social on Thursday Jan 16th.<br />

We’ve got our New Member party on <strong>January</strong> 18th, at Texas Motor<br />

Speedway and our rally school with a short rally at TMS on Jan 25th.<br />

I’ve been to both of these in past years, and they are great. Do you<br />

get the feeling I love TMS? If every Porsche is a racecar, then how can<br />

you dislike a racetrack? Seriously, the venue (believe it or not) is cost<br />

effective and worthwhile for these two events. We finish up <strong>January</strong><br />

with three lunches on Jan 21st and Jan 28th. Also don’t forget to file<br />

your application for the Driver’s Education at Motor Sport Ranch<br />

happening in February by the <strong>January</strong> 9th postmark date. This first<br />

race track event of the year fills up quickly.<br />

Once again, welcome to another year of the Maverick Region<br />

PCA, and besides this monthly publication, be sure to follow<br />

the region’s happenings on our MRPCA chat board on Yahoo<br />

groups (www.yahoogroups.com; MRPCA) and our web page<br />

www.pca.org/mav. We’re also going to try to rotate the board<br />

meetings this year around the Metroplex (east, middle, and west) to<br />

make it possible for more people to attend. Till next month then. It’s<br />

not the cars, it’s the people, and remember; drive those garage<br />

queens, so then you can wash them!<br />

Curves Ahead<br />

by Matt Platts, Editor<br />

The time has finally arrived me to put<br />

together my first issue of <strong>Slipstream</strong>. I must<br />

say that the work required to put this<br />

publication together can be a little overwhelming,<br />

but I think the results will be worth it. I would like<br />

to take a moment to recognize Wendy Shoffit for<br />

doing a great job as <strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor before me.<br />

Wendy has also been a huge help while I learn the<br />

Editor’s job, she has taught me how to put everything together on<br />

the computer, as well as gathering information and articles from<br />

various Maverick members to help fill this issue with content.<br />

Wendy has been a wonderful asset to the Maverick Region in many<br />

ways and I know that will continue as she is involved in several<br />

aspects of the club.<br />

I would also like to send out a big thanks to Teri Davis. Many<br />

of you may not know it, but Teri builds most (sometimes all) of<br />

the event advertisements that you see in <strong>Slipstream</strong> every month.<br />

Teri cranked out several ads with relatively short notice for this<br />

issue. Teri’s willingness and abilities have been and will continue<br />

to be greatly appreciated!<br />

Since I’m in the thanking business, I would like to recognize<br />

all of the club members who contributed articles, columns,<br />

photographs, and other information for this issue. <strong>Slipstream</strong><br />

relies on all of you to help at one time or another, some of you<br />

*very* often. If it wasn’t for everyone contributing on a regular<br />

basis, we would have a very boring newsletter. I hope that you keep<br />

those articles coming in. I’m quickly learning that some months<br />

have too much content while others don’t have enough, but it<br />

usually comes out in the wash. I won’t recognize everyone that fits<br />

in this category by name, but you will see their names on their<br />

articles and pictures as you read through the issue. Please make<br />

sure to thank those individuals as you see them at events and<br />

outings, we want to keep that information flowing!<br />

You may be one of those individuals are who has never<br />

written an article and would like to get in on the action, please<br />

don’t be shy! The next time you are at a Maverick event, have a<br />

*great* time, and would like to let the rest of the club know what<br />

they missed, just let me know. I would love to hear from more of<br />

you so you can tell everyone how much fun our driving and social<br />

events are. We’ve had great turnout at many recent events and I<br />

think that a lot of that can be contributed to seeing advertisements<br />

and reading about past events in <strong>Slipstream</strong>.<br />

Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for making me feel<br />

welcome as the new editor. I can’t tell you how many people have<br />

personally thanked me for stepping up to the plate and taking on<br />

this project, it really makes me feel good. I look forward to putting<br />

together a quality publication each month for you. You can also<br />

look for some changes to happen to <strong>Slipstream</strong> this year, my<br />

article title “Curves Ahead” was meant to give a hint of what may<br />

be coming. I will be working on a fresher, more updated look, so<br />

keep your eyes out for those changes as they come along. I will do<br />

my best to keep the changes “on-track”, since we all know that even<br />

brief “off-track” excursions can be troublesome.<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Andy Mears, Secretary<br />

The last Maverick Region Board Meeting<br />

for the year 2002 was held on December<br />

11 at the home of James and Wendy<br />

Shoffit.<br />

Announcement of new officers: Keith Olcha,<br />

President, Noby Takahashi, Vice President, Mimi<br />

Spreen, Secretary, Bob Knight, Treasurer.<br />

A motion was made and passed for Dee<br />

Lersch to purchase cloisonne’s for the name badges for the Goodie<br />

Store, and to find some glue that will keep the crest in place.<br />

Teri Davis gave an update on the Rally School in <strong>January</strong> and<br />

requested money for the classroom deposit. Look for the ad in<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong>. Lanean updated everyone on the Christmas activities<br />

for Hope Shelter, including stocking stuffing and delivering gifts, if<br />

you have any donations for Hope Shelter please contact Lanean or<br />

any of the board members.<br />

Mimi Spreen requested money for the deposit for the new<br />

members’ party <strong>January</strong> 18 to be held at TMS. This party is an<br />

opportunity for new members to meet with other new and existing<br />

members.<br />

A motion was made and passed for the region to rent a secure<br />

storage facility in town for the purpose of storing region driving<br />

event equipment and other region materials. If you happen to be<br />

storing any region equipment that you would like to move out of<br />

your dining room, please contact any of the board members.<br />

The Board Meeting was called to close at 8 PM. As always,<br />

check the web site for the most current schedule of events. I look<br />

forward to seeing everyone at next year’s events.<br />

shuffled out to the highway. The<br />

Team Building Concepts employees<br />

were exhausted. We were exhausted.<br />

The karts were exhausted. It had been a long, unusual, yet enjoyable<br />

evening at TBC.<br />

Mark Lang (c) takes first, Jay Walker (l) second, Steve Watkins (r) third<br />

TBC, an indoor, electric kart racing facility at Stemmons and<br />

Regal Row in Dallas, had been recommended as a happy hour<br />

destination by several Mavericks, including John Hrad and Steven<br />

and April Dodd. After touring the facility earlier in the month<br />

with Greg Garrett, the TBC general manager, I could understand<br />

their attraction. So we scheduled the event for November 21.<br />

On the evening of the<br />

happy hour, fifteen more<br />

Mavericks showed up than<br />

the thirty that had confirmed.<br />

While I did my best to greet<br />

new and old members, Mark<br />

Gluck, who had labeled the<br />

event the “2002 Zap Classic”,<br />

administered the racing<br />

portion of the evening.<br />

only to the barbecue of Joe McGlohen. And while the combination<br />

of a full bar and kart racing made me a bit apprehensive, it<br />

appeared that the kart drivers were under the influence of nothing<br />

other than their natural, competitive instincts.<br />

...the combination of a full bar and cart<br />

racing made me a bit apprehensive ...<br />

There were more racing participants than we had expected,<br />

contributing to the late ending. Congratulations again to Mark<br />

Lang for winning first prize (a free detailing by Park Place). And<br />

if after Sonny Bryan’s in November and Joe McGlohen’s in<br />

December (at the Maverick Christmas Party) you still haven’t<br />

satisfied your appetite for barbecue, then be sure to join us for a<br />

repeat visit to the Railhead Smokehouse in Colleyville for our<br />

<strong>January</strong> 16 happy hour.<br />

Charity Autocross<br />

by Cody Sears<br />

Once again the loyal Maverick Region members, as well as<br />

many other car enthusiasts, showed up in force to support<br />

our annual “Run Whatcha Brung” Charity Autocross. The<br />

Pennington Field parking lot in Bedford has proven to be an<br />

excellent location for our local events this year, and this time<br />

was no exception. The weather was awesome, and for the first<br />

time this year, I don’t think I had a single complaint about my<br />

course design (maybe I’m just blocking that stuff out now).<br />

who had the fastest time of the day and bragging rights until<br />

next year (or until we do it again!).<br />

With the larger than expected showing of over sixty drivers<br />

(all of whom donated anywhere from $20 to much more) and<br />

other funds collected, we raised over $1,500 for the Hope<br />

Shelter! A very special thanks to everyone who made this event<br />

happen, and I hope to see you all there next year<br />

Speaking of course design, Eric Erz also had a great course<br />

laid out at this event too, but it wasn’t for the big cars. He set<br />

up a course for the remote-control cars. Eric did a great job<br />

setting up and running this portion of the event, and everyone<br />

(including me) had lots of fun playing with the RC cars. Who<br />

knows, this may become a more regular side event!<br />

...for the first time this year, I don’t think I<br />

had a single complaint about course design...<br />

As for the big cars, we had a good variety of makes and<br />

models competing. The biggest standout was Clay and Betty<br />

Perrine’s early model Ford. And the highlight of the day for me<br />

was participating in the “friendly” competition among drivers.<br />

In an effort to even the playing field and take away all excuses, a<br />

small group of us drove the same car to see who actually is the<br />

best driver. Thanks to Boardwalk Porsche for loaning us a nice<br />

Boxster to settle the debate, and congratulations to Bill Miller<br />

Founders Day 2002<br />

by Lisa Steele<br />

This year’s event took place at Southfork Ranch on<br />

November 9th. It was simply a Spectacular evening! Eric<br />

and Karen Erz made arrangements for everyone to tour the<br />

famous Southfork Mansion. Although the “mansion” was beautiful,<br />

my little girls dreams of this place were shattered when I saw the<br />

actual size and when I was told that most of the taping was done<br />

in studios…that’s Hollywood I guess.<br />

...Thank you James and Wendy Shoffit -<br />

you’re a great team!<br />

We had a wonderfully unique invocation this year given<br />

by Erika Nannis. I’m sure it is very difficult to come up<br />

with something new each year and she always seems to manage<br />

it beautifully. The entertainment of the evening was quite a<br />

surprise. We were treated with several dance numbers from the<br />

girls of the Dance Xpress Jazz Company…I wish my body could<br />

move like that.<br />

I would like to take a moment to recognize what a truly<br />

awesome job James has done as the Maverick Region President<br />

for the past 2 years. And I know that Wendy shared a lot (if not<br />

all) of the presidential duties. BOTH of them gave countless<br />

hours of their time and I believe that their contributions to the<br />

club have made some much needed changes and have continued<br />

to make it a wonderful club to be a part of. Thank you James<br />

and Wendy Shoffit – you’re a great team!<br />

As part of the Founder’s Day tradition, the driving awards<br />

and trophies are a fun part of the evening. These were<br />

presented by time trials chair Bill Dugan and autocross chair<br />

Cody Sears. The awards are always very creative but I must<br />

say that Kevin Hardison out did himself this year with the<br />

outstanding montage posters he created with pictures he took<br />

throughout the season.<br />

The most memorable part of the night for me was receiving<br />

the Gregg Murrell Driving Enthusiast Award. It was a total<br />

shock! The best part was getting the opportunity to talk with<br />

Gregg’s parents, Ron and Jan. They shared a lovely photo album<br />

with me that had pictures of Gregg that helped me see what a<br />

great person he was. I feel so proud to have this award in honor<br />

of his name.<br />

This is one of my favorite events of the season because you<br />

get to see everyone in their best duds and the food is always<br />

fabulous…not to mention that you get to be in the company of<br />

some pretty GREAT people!<br />

Zims Swap Meet<br />

by Lanean Hughes<br />

Parts, parts, and more parts! There was something for<br />

everyone... if you couldn’t find it, you weren’t looking. Over<br />

100 Porsche fanatics showed up early at Zims Autotechnic<br />

for an opportunity to buy, sell, and trade their treasures. Special<br />

thanks to the Zims staff for assisting all day long, and to Vaughan<br />

Garrett for organizing the event.<br />

The weather couldn’t have been better!<br />

This was Bryan Henderson’s first time to set up “shop”, after<br />

a few minutes he stated “I would have done this a long time ago,<br />

that was the easiest $300 I’ve ever made”. Making deals and<br />

bartering is the name of the game, you can sell that thing that<br />

has been taking up<br />

space in your garage,<br />

then turn around<br />

and buy something<br />

to fill the vacated<br />

hole! Zims was offering<br />

special in-store<br />

discounts for all who<br />

attended, so if second-hand<br />

merchandise<br />

wasn’t your<br />

thing, you could buy<br />

it new!<br />

Just in case you<br />

missed this event,<br />

mark you calendar<br />

so you can be sure to<br />

get out to the next<br />

swap meet at Zims<br />

on March 1st. Fun<br />

will be had by all -<br />

who knows, Bill may<br />

even find another<br />

“racing” seat to try<br />

on for size!<br />

Giant Slinky Spotted Near Winnsboro<br />

by Bob Bianconi<br />

News Report: Unnamed sources reported a giant accordionlike<br />

creature slithering through the environs of Winnsboro<br />

and neighboring communities. The creature - some estimated<br />

to be more than 2 miles long - had not been seen in these parts<br />

before, befuddled observers noted. Accordion-ologists identified<br />

the ever expanding and contracting-thing as a distant relative of the<br />

slinky, that ubiquitous children’s toy. Mostly grey and silver, the<br />

creature also seemed to have spots of black, blue, gold and a tail<br />

very similar to the color of guard’s red. The unnamed sources also<br />

reported that the slinky seemed capable of high speed travel and at<br />

other times, seemed to be moving at a snail’s pace. Some Winnsboro<br />

residents even noted that it looked as if the brightly colored slinky<br />

was basking in the sun in the middle of the road.<br />

Long shadows at the morning departure point<br />

of fame for drawing so much business. In any event, Ted and<br />

Bonnie had, as usual, everything planned. Trip instructions were<br />

given and we even had to break into three groups: The Chickenfried<br />

Steak group, the Chicken group and the Snitzel Group.<br />

...Do we have to wait until spring for the<br />

next tour?<br />

So who was there? Well, with so many folks present, I can’t<br />

begin to name them all. But, I can tell you there were several<br />

928’s, a 914-6, a 944, lots of 911’s and the obligatory Boxster<br />

bunch (Ted: need you plan for the Cayenne next season? - maybe<br />

a river crossing??). It was great seeing such a huge mix of cars;<br />

in fact, for many folks, this was their first tour. Once the<br />

preliminaries were over, it was time to hit the road. Managing a<br />

group this size proved to be a daunting task for our tour-meister<br />

duo. As alluded to earlier, the tour consisted of 35 cars which<br />

required the use of three FRS radio relays to convey messages<br />

back to the caboose in a guards red Boxster (the aforementioned<br />

slinky’s tail…) Even with these ‘state-of-the art-communicators<br />

(not!), we managed to dice up the slinky a few times<br />

Of course, the Slinky we’re talking about was the giant<br />

fall foliage tour headed up by our great tour-meister (and tourmistress?)<br />

Ted and Bonnie Glover. To say this trip was a success<br />

would be a huge understatement. Thirty-five(!) Porsches made<br />

the daylong jaunt through the countryside near the Community<br />

of Winnsboro. And a slinky it was; a giant caravan snaking it’s<br />

way through the twists and curves of ranch and farm land.<br />

Someone estimated that the caravan stretched out for 2 miles at<br />

one point.<br />

The day started off with the obligatory driver’s meeting at<br />

“THE” Walmart at I-80 and Beltline Road. This location has been<br />

the start of many fine Glover tours. In fact, I believe I heard that<br />

Walmart was placing a Ted and Bonnie star on their sidewalk hall<br />

An eager group read to enjoy the roads of East Texas<br />

“Our Place” Restaurant<br />

Nonetheless, the roads were simply beautiful, especially<br />

several of the most narrow 1-lane country roads. How Ted and<br />

Bonnie find these places is beyond me. Anyway, after several<br />

hours behind the wheel, we pulled into Pittsburgh, home of the<br />

Steelers, er, I mean “Our Place” restaurant. If you get a chance to<br />

visit Pittsburgh, this restaurant should be on your short-list of<br />

things to do. Chicken, steak, snitzels, and strudel, they’ve got it all.<br />

As an added treat, Pittsburgh resident and Boxster-owner Bob<br />

Jones stopped by while we ate and recounted tales about the<br />

latest Boxstoberfest.<br />

After lunch it was back on the road for the trip back to DFW.<br />

With less turns on the way home, our photographers were able to<br />

snap some shots of the procession. It was quite a site. Thanks Ted<br />

and Bonnie for another great tour!<br />

ps…Do we have to wait until spring for the next tour?????<br />

Maverick Driving Schools - Class of <strong>2003</strong><br />

By Kevin Hardison<br />

Time to get ready for school! The Maverick Region is sponsoring five driving<br />

school days this year to help get you ready for the upcoming driving<br />

season. We have something for everyone this year, from “Newbies” to<br />

Club Racers looking for an opportunity to do a little testing and tuning.<br />

Everyone is encouraged to participate regardless of their experience.<br />

This year all of the school days will occur before the start of the official<br />

Time Trial and Autocross seasons. We encourage everyone interested in driving,<br />

instructing or helping out this year to email drivingschools@mavpca.org now<br />

to get on the email list for updates and more info.<br />

Advanced Time Trial 104 - TT104<br />

Mineralring - Mineral Wells, Texas - Saturday, February 1st<br />

This is the “Advanced” school you may have heard rumors about. All<br />

three of our standard time trial courses will be setup on the same day. It has a<br />

very limited number of openings, so be sure to email us early. Club Racers,<br />

Drivers Education junkies and AX/TT instructors are especially encouraged to<br />

apply. Students should have some driving experience and must bring their own<br />

helmets.Make sure you have plenty oftread on your tires ...you’ll need it!<br />

The day will start early with the maximum track time planned possible.<br />

Drivers will be paired up and you will be either driving, riding or working<br />

corners together for the entire day! Instructor’s cars must have a second seat<br />

for their students to ride with them. A few exceptions will be allowed.<br />

Parade laps will be immediately followed by timed runs. Courses #1,<br />

#2 and #3 will be setup in quick succession. No long classroom discussions<br />

here - this is a hands on the wheel class. Because this is a school, no official<br />

times will be published, but at end of the day a TTOD Time Trial<br />

Shoot Out is planned. Proceeds from this session will benefit the Hope<br />

Shelter in Mineral Wells.<br />

Ladies Only Autocross 105 - LA105<br />

Pennington Field - Euless, Texas - Saturday, February 15th<br />

Our traditional ladies school taught by some of our best lady drivers,<br />

many of them class winners at Parade! Guys are there just to setup the course,<br />

work corners and pick up cones. The top speeds are lower and all of the exercises<br />

are designed to help you learn to work with your car. Extra time is allowed<br />

to make sure you can gradually increase your speeds as your confidence grows.<br />

Threshold braking, slaloms and skid pads will be featured in the morning.<br />

An actual autocross will be setup and held in the afternoon. This is a fully<br />

instructed event and you will always have someone to help you throughout the<br />

day. Timed Fun Runs for workers and instructors at the end of the day.<br />

Intro to Autocrossing 101 - IA101<br />

Pennington Field - Euless, Texas - Sunday, February 16th<br />

This school shares the same format as the Ladies School from the previous<br />

day. Ladies can take both days if they wish to. This is the perfect introduction to how<br />

to attend an autocross. Students and Instructors will work the corners during the<br />

autocross to gain valuable insights. Timed Fun Runs for workers and instructors.<br />

Autocross 102 - AX102<br />

Mineralring - Mineral Wells, Texas - Saturday, March 8th<br />

Part 1 of our 2-day school featuring more exercises and a longer AX course.<br />

The Mineralring is perfect for exploring the limits of your car. Students will get the<br />

Time Trial 104 - TT103<br />

Mineralring - Mineral Wells, Texas - Sunday, March 9th<br />

Part 2 of our 2-day school featuring multiple laps and higher speeds. High<br />

DE Registration Tips<br />

by Bill Dawson, Registrar<br />

Our registration process is very similar to that used by PCA<br />

for the Parade. Many people, especially those members<br />

new to Drivers’ Education Events, have asked why there is<br />

so much emphasis on the postmark date for an application. In a word,<br />

FAIRNESS.<br />

give all members who apply on the opening postmark date an<br />

equal opportunity to get accepted into the event. If there are more<br />

applications for a certain run group, all postmarked on the opening<br />

day, a lottery is held. If not, the process is repeated for the second day<br />

postmarks, etc. Early postmarks get bumped to the second day<br />

which means chances of acceptance are slim versus none in the<br />

oversubscribed run groups. Postage meters are not accepted because<br />

they can be (perish the thought) manipulated.<br />

In order to receive your Maverick Region priority, we must have<br />

your PCA membership number. In fact, we are not just being nosy;<br />

we have a reason for asking for all of the information on the<br />

application form. So please, fill it out completely. For more<br />

Registration tips, go the DE section of the Maverick Region website<br />

www.pca.org/mav. I hope to see you at the next DE.<br />

Bill Dawson at speed in the Red run group.<br />

Maverick Region is financially responsible for these high budget<br />

events. Therefore, it is only fair that Maverick Region members<br />

receive priority in the registration. Virtually every DE has had more<br />

applicants for the Beginner and Novice run groups (Green and Blue)<br />

than we can safely accommodate. And, there are a number of<br />

Maverick Region members who live outside the DFW Metroplex<br />

whose application might take longer to arrive than an application<br />

mailed in the DFW area. The Registrar uses the postmark date to<br />

DE’s are big crowded events and a lot of fun! Register carefully to get in!<br />

Eureka Springs Tour<br />

by Dee Lersch<br />

Photo by Tinker Edwards<br />

Ted and Bonnie Glover lead us on another wonderful tour of the<br />

beautiful fall foliage of northwest Arkansas. More than 50<br />

people and 30 cars - everything from Carreras to a cute Mini-<br />

Cooper - started out Friday morning, November 1st from the Einstein<br />

Bagel’s in Plano; it was our largest tour group yet. Fortunately, tourveterans<br />

Judith and Carl Moore, Mark Gluck, Chris and Craig Smith<br />

and The Terrific Trio, Mimi/Charlotte/Douglas Grant were along to<br />

help first time tourists 'tuck in'. After an especially humorous shakedown<br />

period, ("Oh dear, they're following a civilian Porsche, a wrong<br />

Porsche. Oh dear, they're heading towards Colorado!"), we traveled<br />

east on 380 and 30 then into the back country ridges and valleys of the<br />

Ouachita Mountains and the Ozark National forests. We stopped at<br />

the Skyline Restaurant in Mesa for lunch and then onto Eureka<br />

Springs and its most haunting hotel, The Crescent.<br />

With its Victorian architecture, beautiful vistas, and perfect<br />

location on both the trolley & horse-drawn carriage stops, The<br />

Crescent is a popular setting for wedding receptions and we shared<br />

the hotel with five different wedding parties during our stay. Local<br />

lore says we shared the hotel with even more parties, ghostly, or<br />

The Crescent Hotel<br />

should I write, apparitions. Of course, I don't believe in ghosts,<br />

but, according to the guest book, several locations in the hotel,<br />

especially rooms 218, 419 and 230, have, uh, repeatedly, uh, had<br />

'manifestations'. Of course, adventurous MR-PCAers had already<br />

requested rooms 218, 419 and 230 so John and I were safely (?)<br />

tucked into a room near 419. <br />

We had dinner Friday evening in the hotel's Crystal Dining<br />

Room, followed by a visit to Dr. Bakers Lounge (a bar). Dr. Baker,<br />

by the way, is one of the ghosts said to room/roam at The Crescent.<br />

In fact, his nurse is said to meander the cellar halls, pushing a<br />

gurney through Dr. Baker's old morgue area (don't ask).<br />

Fortunately for those who took a massage, body wrap or facial<br />

therapy at The Crescent's New Moon Spa, the good doctor does not<br />

seem, however, to ever haunt his old cancer treatment center<br />

(aka the New Moon Spa).<br />

Saturday was overcast but breakfast at the Mud Street Café<br />

with its walls of bright quilt hangings and other artwork was a<br />

perfect introduction to the dozens of craft, antique and gift stores<br />

of Eureka Springs. Bonnie Glover had even wrangled a Porsche<br />

Club discount at Vintage Cargo a furniture/vintage home shop for<br />

Photo by Tinker Edwards<br />

us Mavericks. The shops (should I write shoppes?) of Eureka Springs<br />

are so very charming that several of the second-seat tour teammates<br />

decided to stay in town and get a start on holiday gifting.<br />

Every Road is a Good Road, but some are Better than Others!!<br />

- Saturday's roads and foliage were the best of the weekend for John<br />

and me. (But then we missed most of Sunday more on that later.)<br />

The maples (orange), sumac (red), and some hickories (golden)<br />

blended into scenes evocative of New England. One particularly<br />

glorious valley had a hickory backed by a grove of pine that had the<br />

club's radios crackling with Joyce Kilmer's "Only God Can Make a<br />

Tree".<br />

...I’ll spare you the details of 3 dozen<br />

Mavericks coat-hangering my Boxster...<br />

We had breathtaking roller coaster runs, slither corners and<br />

exhilarating sprints of ten miles and more. Even the road 'names'<br />

were a joy: letters of the alphabetic, no less. My personal favorite<br />

was road "F" (for fun road, I think) which ran through a beautiful<br />

valley into a small community whose citizens waved as we passed.<br />

Another run on US 62 took us past Pea Ridge Battle Park scene of<br />

one of the skirmishes of the "War of Northern Aggression", as<br />

Tinker Grant phrased it<br />

Saturday's luncheon was at the magnificent Big Cedar Lodge,<br />

near the Canyon Nature Park that sprawls across the Missouri-<br />

Arkansas border, just south of Branson, MO. Once the summer<br />

haven for two fabulously wealthy families, Big Cedar Lodge is now<br />

a center for corporate retreats, and a select and favored few (like us<br />

now!) who enjoy the lake, its palatial cabins and wealth of activities<br />

- everything from mountain trail rides to trophy bass and trout<br />

fishing. The group had optional returns to Eureka Springs, several<br />

teams chose to inspect Branson, a few stayed in the area, others<br />

joined the touring group for a closer look at Pea Ridge Battle Park<br />

and more of those beautiful trees.<br />

Wet & Windy Road<br />

As always, the Glovers got us back in town between 4:30 and<br />

5:00, plenty of time for the tour-then-shop-inclined to visit Vintage<br />

Cargo and other clever places. Dinner was at the Bavarian Inn<br />

that offered traditional German and regional Bavarian cuisine, a<br />

perfectly sized event room, and dozens of interesting beers.<br />

Not to my surprise, not one of my dinner companions had<br />

experienced one glimpse/whiff /dream of a ghost.<br />

The Ghost Struck Sunday Morning - Sunday started well<br />

enough: the clouds were clearing, John and I both slept well and<br />

breakfast was wonderful. Two families of ring bearers and flower<br />

girls were milling about, all cuter than cute. John went out to pack<br />

the car while I checked out. I thought.<br />

I couldn't get the room door open. I pushed and jiggled the<br />

lock and laughed when the bellboy I finally called on the phone<br />

came to open the door for me but I couldn't get the room door<br />

open. It took the bellboy ten minutes and three tries with every<br />

room key he had to finally get the room door open. We were still<br />

laughing about it when I went down the stairs because the elevator<br />

(which had hitherto worked just fine, thank you) wasn't working.<br />

Downstairs I met John who was reentering the hotel trailed by half<br />

a dozen MR-PCAers.<br />

"I locked the keys in the trunk," he said with this look of<br />

incredible amazement. "I locked the keys in the car."<br />

Photo by Tinker Edwards<br />

the airport to get the keys, I decided to go shopping. I couldn't get<br />

the door open, again. After 5 minutes of rattling and jiggling the key<br />

again, I called the front desk again to get me out, again. Funny<br />

thing.<br />

I understand the trip back for everyone else was (mostly)<br />

uneventful... A couple of folks left the main group to attempt to<br />

really race back to Texas and got "rangered" big time. Otherwise,<br />

'twas another great weekend. Lunch was at the Circle J restaurant in<br />

Talihina, OK and the remaining teams split up in Greenville.<br />

Lining up in preparation for departure from the Crescent<br />

I wish you could have been there. (And I wish John and I could<br />

have had lunch in Talihina instead of dinner at a McD's!!)<br />

Some of the tour group at the Big Cedar Lodge<br />

I have been married to this man for more than a quarter of a<br />

century. He NEVER locks his keys in a car. I have driven that car for<br />

nearly two years. I don't know even HOW to lock the keys in that<br />

car. "I'm not sure what happened," John tried to explain. "For some<br />

reason I opened the trunk, put the keys in my jacket, then for I put<br />

the jacket in the trunk and closed the trunk. Eight steps away from<br />

the truck I heard the car lock. The car locked. The car keys are in the<br />

trunk. The keys are locked in the truck."<br />

I'll spare you the details of 3 dozen Mavericks coat-hangering<br />

my Boxster. Shall we just say it was not a pretty sight? It was<br />

uproariously funny, though, especially the surrender ceremony: all<br />

the drivers with electronic key clickers gathered in a circle around<br />

D BXTER and simultaneously pressing UNLOCK on their keys. It<br />

looked like a coven of (very nice) warlocks right out of the Lord of<br />

the Rings. I almost enjoyed it. We finally managed to shoo them on<br />

their way back to the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area and went back<br />

into the hotel to call our daughter back in Dallas.<br />

Neither John nor my cell phones would work. None of the<br />

(three) public phones in the hotel were working. "Funny," said the<br />

hotel store clerk, "the payphones were working an hour ago when I<br />

came on duty. I called home on one of them and one of the guests<br />

was talking on another."<br />

I went back to our room, called our daughter on the room<br />

phone and asked her to take the spare set of keys to DFW airport<br />

and fly the keys, air parcel, to NW Arkansas. After John left to go to<br />
