Curves Ahead<br />

by Matt Platts, <strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor<br />

Welcome to the Parade <strong>2004</strong><br />

Edition of <strong>Slipstream</strong>. Many<br />

Maverick Region members have<br />

worked hard to bring you this<br />

information-packed special issue with the<br />

hopes that it will help to provide you with<br />

additional details and insight that will help<br />

to make your stay in Fort Worth an<br />

enjoyable one. Be sure to check each and<br />

every page for tidbits that will help you to<br />

plan your day and evening activities.<br />

Downtown Fort Worth is a great place to spend some<br />

time, I’m sure you’ll agree with me soon enough! Within<br />

this issue you’ll find information that will help you plan<br />

where to eat (when you’re not at one of the banquets,<br />

of course), what sight-seeing options there are (the<br />

Museum District and the Stockyards are two of my<br />

favorites), and you will find extra information about many<br />

Parade activities and events.<br />

Getting around downtown Fort Worth might seem a<br />

little daunting at first, but there are a few tricks that I think<br />

will help you out. One key thing about this city is that it’s<br />

packed with one-way streets. Main Street is one exception<br />

to this rule - look for it, with it’s red-brick pavement, and<br />

the Courthouse at one end, and you’ll know that you can<br />

go either way. Keep an eye on the street signs and you’ll do<br />

just fine.<br />

A few other hints that will help you navigate around<br />

the downtown area are which streets are the quickest way to<br />

and from our major highways. Belknap and Weatherford<br />

streets are the easiest way to get onto I-35W and 121, while<br />

5th & 7th Streets are one-way that will each shuttle you<br />

directly to I-30 East and West, US287. They are also an<br />

alternate route to I-35W North and South.<br />

As with any large city during a business-week, traffic<br />

will be quite a bit heavier during rush hours so plan your<br />

driving time accordingly.<br />

Regular Maverick Region readers will notice that<br />

several regular articles and sections are missing. Not to<br />

worry! We will bring you full coverage of past events such<br />

as the MineralRing Autocross/Time Trial weekend of June<br />

5th & 6th and the Autocross at Pennington Field on June<br />

13th. Dennis Chamberlain will recap the June Happy Hour<br />

at the Bavarian Grill, and I’m sure he will have an article<br />

about Railhead Smokehouse ready by then too. I also<br />

expect to hear from the tour crowd after their return from<br />

Nacogdoches. I guarantee that the August issue will get you<br />

back on track with regular Maverick Region activities!<br />

Another obvious omission from this issue is the New<br />

Wheels section that normally showcases our newest<br />

members. There have, once again, been problems with the<br />

PCA National database that have prevented us from getting<br />

that list. Look for expanded New Wheels and Anniversaries<br />

sections as soon as we get the updated lists.<br />

Road Ramblings<br />

by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President<br />

Welcome 49th annual Porsche Parade<br />

attendees! You’re reading this<br />

because you have successfully<br />

registered and received this copy of<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong>, our newsletter, as part of that<br />

process. Two years ago when we began the<br />

process of bidding for this Parade, it seemed<br />

like it would never come. Easy for me to say,<br />

not being one of the chairpersons responsible<br />

for a particular event you are looking forward to this<br />

week. Our Maverick Region last hosted the 32nd Parade in<br />

1987. While then chairperson, Teri Davis, is still actively<br />

involved in this 49th Parade along with other contributors<br />

from back then, much as changed, too.<br />

The 1987 Parade was held in Dallas. While Dallas and<br />

Fort Worth are virtually next-door when driving from, say<br />

California, they are if fact, almost 60 miles apart. We<br />

decided to hold this Parade in Fort Worth because of the<br />

venues involved and the cowtown flair of the city. In fact,<br />

the Texas Motor Speedway and the current version of our<br />

host hotel did not exist back in 1987. We really hope you<br />

will enjoy the format we’ve laid out this year, plus the extra<br />

bonus of a Club Race and two days of racetrack driver’s<br />

education packed into the week of traditional Parade<br />

events. Having those events running in parallel with the<br />

Autocross should provide sensory overload at the end of<br />

the week to balance the sensory overload the beautiful cars<br />

at the Concours start the week with.<br />

miles southwest of downtown Fort Worth. We went from<br />

famine to feast for track junkies in 7 years. We have two<br />

tracks within a 70-mile radius from most of our members.<br />

We normally run a large portion of our time trials and<br />

autocrosses at the Mineral Wells airport- a former military<br />

helicopter base, since closed for many years. Unfortunately<br />

to hold the Parade Autocross there would have involved a<br />

one hour commute each day. Instead we’ve opted for one of<br />

our other venues, the parking lots at TMS. TMS is about<br />

twenty miles from the Worthington Hotel. Inside TMS will<br />

be driver’s education or club racing depending upon the<br />

day of the week. On the outside are the remote hospitality<br />

site (complete with pool) and the autocross competition, as<br />

well as the Michelin “Try Me Tires.” This concept will allow<br />

folks to move back and forth between many events easily.<br />

Annually, Maverick Region holds five driving school<br />

days, six time-trials, six autocrosses, four Drivers Education<br />

weekends, and a Club Race each year, skipping only 3<br />

months due to weather and holidays. I think it’s an ambitious<br />

schedule, but one we all enjoy. This year’s Parade has<br />

an ambitious schedule that will be very satisfying as well.<br />

I’m hoping to meet as many of you as I can this week, and<br />

I can’t thank our Maverick Region Parade committee and<br />

their PCA National committee counterparts enough for<br />

their help in putting this 49th Parade on for all of us. Enjoy<br />

the week, my friends.<br />

... if you didn’t already know it,<br />

it does get hot here in <strong>July</strong> ...<br />

If you didn’t already know, it does get hot here in Texas<br />

in <strong>July</strong>. Unfortunately, the hottest part of the day is around<br />

6:00pm. The good news is that it’s a dry heat. They told me<br />

I couldn’t write this article if I didn’t say that. Seriously,<br />

with that in mind, we anticipate ending all traditional<br />

Parade events by 2:00pm or earlier each day, and racetrack<br />

activities by 3:00pm or so. By now you’ve been told twentyseven<br />

times that the Tech-Quiz is on Wednesday and the<br />

volunteer party on Friday night. Consider this your 28th.<br />

As of this writing, I’m told there will be a Carrera GT on<br />

display at the Worthington Hotel through Tuesday, and<br />

then out at the Texas Motor Speedway the rest of the week.<br />

It will also be running some laps on the track during<br />

lunchtime at the end of the week. I know it’s not the cars,<br />

it’s the people (a Maverick member penned that quote,<br />

by-the-way), but this is a pretty special car and I was even<br />

hoping we might also get a preview of the new 997 due in<br />

dealers later in the year.<br />

Back on the topic of racetracks, in the past the only<br />

venues near North Texas were Texas World Speedway in<br />

College Station (home of Texas A&M), and Hallett, near<br />

Tulsa, Oklahoma. Each track is a three and four hour drive,<br />

respectively. In the last 7 years we’ve seen the building of<br />

TMS, as well as a 1.8-mile club track where we hold five<br />

DEs each year- MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, Texas, 20<br />

Welcome Parade Goers!<br />

By Jan Mayo, Parade <strong>2004</strong> Chair<br />

Woo Hoo! You're here in Texas<br />

enjoying our sunny weather and<br />

some Texas-sized hospitality.<br />

You've already looked though the schedule<br />

so you know how much we have packed<br />

into the week. I hope you take part in<br />

everything that interests you plus some.<br />

Take a peek at the Silent Auction items<br />

in the Art Show, conveniently placed<br />

between the Goodie Store and Hospitality.<br />

There are some very unique things that will<br />

be coveted by all. Have you ever done<br />

a Walking Rally? There's some very<br />

interesting little Texas tid bits that you'll see<br />

just within a few short blocks of the<br />

Worthington Hotel. I hope you give it a try.<br />

If you enjoy Western Art or history make<br />

some time to take the Texas T up through<br />

the museum district. You'll be amazed that<br />

little ol' Cowtown could have such culture.<br />

A Club Race in the middle of the<br />

week??? Yup, we've squeezed it in there too.<br />

I know you'll enjoy the grandeur of Texas<br />

Motor Speedway whether you're in a car or not. And you won't have to<br />

add an extra day to your return home trip to accommodate this Club<br />

Race.<br />

There will be no frozen toes or soggy tennis shoes strolling<br />

through wet grass at the Concours de Elegance this year. The red bricks<br />

of Main Street with the Courthouse as<br />

the backdrop is the venue. The Historic<br />

display will feature an interesting<br />

gathering of 911's representing their 40<br />

years of evolution. Look for some of the<br />

subtle changes from year to year. Besides<br />

the cars, the Porsche name will be<br />

displayed on several tractors. Now there's<br />

an interesting jump from tradition.<br />

The kids will have more than<br />

enough to occupy their little minds and<br />

hands, and the teens will have a<br />

wonderful time exploring the fun and<br />

safe environments of Sundance Square.<br />

The Fort Worth Police are alerted to our<br />

presence and will be quite visual on their<br />

bicycle and horse patrols throughout<br />

down town.<br />

If you've seen enough cars for a few<br />

moments take advantage of the tours to<br />

the Western Currenty Facility and Texas<br />

Lil's Dude Ranch for a little horseback<br />

riding yourself. And if you really want to<br />

take the kids away there's always Six Flags Over Texas Amusement Park<br />

and Hurricane Harbor Water Park in Arlington.<br />

Our Texas-sized hospitality is welcoming you to a week of fun and<br />

Porsche's. There's so much to do. Come to think of it, why don't y'all<br />

just stay for two weeks!<br />

What To Do In Fort Worth<br />

By Jean Frick<br />

Parade <strong>2004</strong> has something for EVERYONE. Listed below are<br />

some of the things you and your family can do while you<br />

are here. Just find the activities you are interested in, and if<br />

the information you need is not listed here, simply ask one of our<br />

“Howdy Committee” volunteers.<br />

You will find eateries for every taste in Sundance Square and<br />

the immediate downtown area. Enjoy fine cuisine at Angelina,<br />

The Chop House, Reata Restaurant, Texas de Brazil, and Del<br />

Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House, to name a few. For Mexican<br />

or Tex-Mex, visit Mi Cocina, Mexican Inn Café or Cabo Grande.<br />

Hungry for Italian? Try Pizzeria Uno, Ciao, Picchi Pacchi or<br />

Sammy’s Pizza and Deli. Texas barbecue is the best – find great<br />

flavor at Riscky’s Bar-B-Q and The Smoke Pit. Subs and sandwiches<br />

are a quick lunchtime stop at Blimpie’s Subs & Salads,<br />

Obee’s, Sammy’s Pizza & Deli or Subway Downtown. Burgers are<br />

always great, and can be found in abundance at The Branding<br />

Iron Grill, Burger Junction, Chili’s Grill & Bar, The Pour House<br />

... Another highlight is visiting cowtown<br />

is a trip to the stockyards ...<br />

Sports Grill, Zippy’s All American Grill and Billy Miner’s Saloon.<br />

Looking for that special wine or beer, or want to do a little “taste<br />

test”? You will love The Grape Escape Wine Bar, The Flying<br />

Saucer, Fox and Hounds English Pub & Grill and The Pour<br />

House Sports Grill. Chinese? The China Inn. Brazilian? Texas de<br />

Brazil. Mediterranean? Kalamata’s in the Worthington Hotel.<br />

French? La Madeleine French Bakery & Café. Health foods? Fresh<br />

Choice Express and Jamba Juice. Seafood? Daddy Jack’s Lobster<br />

and Chowder House, Fort Worth Chop House and Blade’s Prime<br />

Chophouse. Sushi? Mikado Sushi. Cajun? Razzoo’s Cajan Café.<br />

Cowboy cuisine? The Chisholm Club or Reata Restaurant. As<br />

you can see, you have the opportunity to taste something<br />

different every day – and all within easy walking distance. Please<br />

refer to the list of restaurants in the Hospitality Room for phone<br />

numbers and those within 5 blocks of the Worthington Hotel.<br />

Fort Worth is fortunate to have a number of live theatre<br />

groups – and especially to have three in Sundance Square. The<br />

performance schedules vary, but please call to check whether they<br />

have productions this week. For those of you with a few leisure<br />

hours, our two fine movie houses boast 20 screens – again within<br />

one to two blocks of the hotel. The Bass Performance Hall is a<br />

three-block walk. Opened in 1998, it is modeled after the famous<br />

European Opera Houses. The hall had to be built to fit in one city<br />

block, so you miss the grand appearance of a beautiful lawn and<br />

trees, but inside, the attention to detail is magnificent. A masterpiece<br />

of acoustic excellence, the painted domes above the East<br />

and West Portals and the Rosenthal Dome inside the hall are<br />

truly works of art.The front façade, adorned with two Texas<br />

limestone angels standing 48 feet high, command your attention.<br />

Sign up for a docent-guided tour.<br />

A walk to the other end of town, or a free ride on the trolley<br />

in downtown, will take you to the outstanding Fort Worth Water<br />

Gardens, designed by Philip Johnson. Scenes for the 1976 movie<br />

“Logan’s Run” were filmed in the Water Gardens, which<br />

includes a spectacular complex of sculpture, pools, waterfalls<br />

and fountains.<br />

Fort Worth is blessed with many museums, both large and<br />

small. Several stand out as world-class museums that attract<br />

viewers from all over the world. The Sid Richardson Museum of<br />

Western Art is located just one block from the hotel. Certainly<br />

worth stopping by for a bit of Cowtown Culture.<br />

Five outstanding museums are a short distance west of<br />

downtown, and are available by riding the Route 7 Visi-Tour bus.<br />

Please refer to the Visi-Tour section at the end of this article. All<br />

five of the museums are located adjacent to one another in our<br />

Cultural District. The Kimbell Art Museum has a fantastic<br />

permanent collection and usually features a traveling exhibition<br />

in the Louis Kahn award-winning building. The recently<br />

expanded Amon Carter Museum, designed by architect Philip<br />

Johnson, started as a showplace for the western art of Charles<br />

Russell and Frederick Remington, but now is also featuring<br />

American Art. Across from Amon Carter is the Museum of<br />

Science and History, featuring many “hands-on” exhibits, the<br />

Omni IMAX Theatre, and the Noble Planetarium. Across the<br />

next street is another new star in our museum complex – The<br />

Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. Opened in June of 2002, this<br />

museum documents legendary women of the American West. A<br />

very “kid-friendly” place, it features many hands-on exhibits that<br />

are both educational and fun – like riding a bucking steer and<br />

having your picture taken. The newest of our outstanding museums,<br />

opened in December of 2002, is the Modern Art Museum<br />

of Fort Worth. Designed by world-renowned architect Tadao<br />

Ando, it is the second-largest modern art museum in America<br />

(next to MoMA in New York). The building itself rivals the modern<br />

art it holds – it is a work of art with its elevated position on a<br />

hill, a peaceful reflecting pool, and massive gray cement panels.<br />

Another highlight of visiting Cowtown is a trip to the<br />

Stockyards. This National Historical area boasts many original<br />

buildings, the Fort Worth Herd, a daily cattle drive, and an<br />

authentically restored Tarantula Train with daily rides. And don’t<br />

miss Billy Bob’s Texas, the “World’s Largest Honky-Tonk”. Stop by<br />

the White Elephant Saloon, used in scenes of “Walker, Texas<br />

Ranger” (– and hey, our Court House downtown was used for<br />

the court scenes in “Walker”.) Consult the Visi-Tour Route 1 for<br />

transportation to the north side Stockyards.<br />

Information about the Western Currency Facility (WCF)<br />

was sent along with your registration materials. Many of you<br />

have expressed a desire to tour the “money factory”, as their<br />

web site is named. This Bureau of Engraving and Printing is<br />

currently printing the new $50 bill. It is located on Hwy 156<br />

about half way to Texas Motor Speedway.<br />

If you have a car available, there are several possibilities for<br />

half-day trips around the city. Travel guides prepared by The<br />

Texas Historical Commission will be available which detail trips<br />

in each direction. The Performance Drive for Restored Autos will<br />

be a ten-mile drive around the city, passing through the<br />

Stockyards and Cultural District. Directions for this drive will be<br />

available later in the week for those who are interested in doing it<br />

on their own.<br />

Now that you are getting excited about the many opportunities<br />

you will have during Parade week, here is some useful<br />

What To Expect At The Concours d’Elegance<br />

By Bob Bianconi<br />

Tips and Tricks for Entrants and Visitors<br />

The Concours d’Elegance will be held on Monday, <strong>July</strong> 5th,<br />

the government holiday. But before that busy Monday<br />

arrives, there will be lots of Concours-related activity and<br />

things to see for Parade entrants and visitors. This article will<br />

provide some tips and tricks for getting the most out of the<br />

Concours activities..<br />

Concours Preparation: Where, When and What to See<br />

Saturday and Sunday <strong>July</strong> 3rd and 4th All day: Concours<br />

entrants will arrive early to Ft. Worth for final preparation of<br />

their cars. The Prep Areas are a great place to watch entrants<br />

put the finishing touches on their Porsches prior to the official<br />

judging on Monday. In fact, this is THE place to watch how<br />

it’s done! As a bonus, there are always lots of great photo<br />

opportunities in the Prep Areas.<br />

There are two Prep Areas this year. The main Prep Area is<br />

an 8-story garage located at the intersection of Weatherford<br />

Street and Cherry Street. This garage is 3 blocks west of the<br />

headquarters hotel. Look for the signs guiding you to the<br />

garage. Only Concours entrants will be allowed to park in this<br />

garage. If you are not a Concours entrant, please park on<br />

Cherry or Burnett Streets next to the garage.<br />

... this is THE place to watch how it’s done ...<br />

The second Prep Area is a large parking lot about 6 blocks<br />

west of the hotel on Belknap Street, west of Henderson Street<br />

(see the map in your Parade Binder). Many of the trailers and<br />

support vehicles will be there. Signs will point you to this Prep<br />

Area as well.<br />

Concours Day<br />

Monday, <strong>July</strong> 5th 9AM until ~4PM; The Concours<br />

d’Elegance will be held just outside our headquarters hotel, the<br />

Renaissance. The Concours venue will be Main Street itself<br />

along with the many of the Sundance Square side streets.<br />

Again, the map found in your Parade Binder provides more<br />

details. Judging begins promptly at 9AM as the judging teams<br />

fan out to begin their work. Over 80 cars will be entered in the<br />

official judging.<br />

Photo by<br />

Main Street will have an even larger crowd of Porsches than this!<br />

What else to see: Besides oogling the Concours cars, you<br />

must stop by the Historic car display, the Club Race Cars, 914<br />

and RS America SIG’s (Special Interest Groups) and the<br />

Porsche Tractor display. And don’t forget the Porsche<br />

AG/PCNA display of all the newest factory cars.<br />

Porsche AG/PCNA Display: Hotel Portico<br />

Historic display cars: 2nd Street in front of the hotel<br />

914 SIG & RS America SIG; 5th St & 1st St respectively<br />

Club Race Cars: 5th Street<br />

Porsche Tractors: 1st Street<br />

Porsche AG/PCNA Luncheon: Box lunches provided by<br />

PAG/PCNA will be available on 1st street and 4th Street. Don’t<br />

forget to bring you lunch ticket!<br />

Visitor Parking: With Main Street and the cross streets<br />

blocked off for the Concours, getting around may be a bit<br />

difficult. Use Commerce Street (north bound) or Houston<br />

Street (south bound) to access the area. Parking is available on<br />

many side streets (meters are free because of the holiday), at the<br />

Bank 1 tower, a 5-story garage across from Bass Hall or at the<br />

many smaller parking lots nearby.<br />

Volunteers: If you have volunteered to help at the<br />

Concours, there will be a meeting on Sunday <strong>July</strong> 4th. More<br />

information will be available at the Concours registration desk.<br />

Rally Preview<br />

by Carey Spreen<br />

Don't Like Rallying? The Fort Worth Parade Rally<br />

May Change Your Mind<br />

Does any of the following sound familiar? You entered a<br />

PCA Rally a while back; it could have been a rally<br />

sponsored by your local PCA Region, or your Zone, or it<br />

might have been a Parade Rally. Whichever it was, it seemed<br />

really complicated; overly specific but somehow vague at the same<br />

time; and you got into a really big fight with your partner before<br />

the thing was over. You thought it was going to be a pleasant tour<br />

through the countryside, but it turned out that you were so busy<br />

looking for obscure road signs and landmarks that you completely<br />

missed the scenery. And that was if you DIDN'T get lost!<br />

If any of the above rings a bell with you, we've got good<br />

news: this year's Parade Rally is breaking the mold. Yes, it's still<br />

a TSD (Time-Speed-Distance) Rally as specified by the PCRs<br />

(Parade Competition Rules), but that's where the similarity to<br />

any past Parade Rally ends. According to Parade <strong>2004</strong><br />

Rallymaster Ed Tix, here are the main differences:<br />

... NO NASTY TRICKS, TRAPS,<br />

OR MIND GAMES ...<br />

It will be SHORTER. The Parade Rally is designed to take<br />

less time than the maximum allowed by the PCRs (4 -1/2<br />

hours). Less than four hours is all you will spend, and you may<br />

not even need the built-in break! Take it anyway, so you won’t<br />

be early to the next checkpoint!<br />

It will be EASIER TO FOLLOW. This year's Parade Rally is<br />

a Tulip Rally, so called because it uses both text and diagrams<br />

(which resemble tulips) to show the route instructions in<br />

written and graphical form (see example below). Each diagram<br />

has a circle, or bulb, indicating where you will be just before the<br />

next instruction should be executed. Extending from the bulb<br />

is a line ending in an arrowhead, which shows which way you<br />

should turn (or NOT turn, as the case may be). Included in the<br />

diagrams are symbols that help you identify the intersection or<br />

landmark that is part of the instruction.<br />

What this means for you right-brained folks is that you can<br />

look at the diagrams and intuitively know what you will need<br />

to do at the next instruction without having to decipher “rallyspeak”.<br />

However, the left-brainers can still read the instructions<br />

to which they are accustomed. At last, intuitive and analytical<br />

interpretations of the instructions may actually agree!<br />

It will be considerate of NON-AIR-CONDITIONED<br />

PORSCHES (and their passengers). Those of us who live in<br />

more temperate climates, or who just own Porsches that did<br />

not have air conditioning as an option, will be allowed to take<br />

an early out-time. This means that we will be done before the<br />

heat of the day has a chance to make its presence felt, which, in<br />

<strong>July</strong> in Fort Worth, tends to start around mid-morning. And<br />

because the Rally is shorter than ever, even if you get the very<br />

last out-time, you’ll still be eating ice cream well before the day’s<br />

high temperature hits.<br />

And the Number 1 difference between the <strong>2004</strong> Parade<br />

Rally and some of the Rallies that have come before:<br />

It will contain NO NASTY TRICKS, TRAPS, OR MIND<br />

GAMES. Granted, this is a Parade Rally, so it has to keep the<br />

experienced rallyists interested, but Rallymaster Ed has tried<br />

really hard to avoid the type of exasperating twists that may<br />

have prompted you, your significant other, or your favorite<br />

rally partner to swear off rallying forever. Everyone—from<br />

first-time novices who don’t know a CAST from a SOLRIP, to<br />

battle-hardened rallyists who can nail a PAUSE to the<br />

hundredth of a minute using only a wristwatch and their right<br />

foot—will have a more-or-less equal chance of winning their<br />

classes.<br />

And speaking of classes—there will be FOUR competition<br />

classes this year, instead of the usual three: Unequipped,<br />

Navigational, Equipped, and a new class called Unequipped<br />

Plus for those newer vehicles equipped with GPS, trip<br />

computers, and the like. And if you are still reluctant to<br />

compete, you can join a touring group that will be able to run<br />

the same route with the same instructions, but just for fun,<br />

without the pressure of competition.<br />

After running this type of event, a Maverick comments,<br />

“fun runs with plenty of winding roads and gorgeous scenery.<br />

The tulip diagrams make following the route so much easier,<br />

and the driver can even glance at the diagram briefly and get an<br />

idea of what's coming up. We really concentrated on speed and<br />

timing this trip, and it paid off.”<br />

So join us for the 49th Parade Rally in Fort Worth. It will<br />

change how you think about rallying—and for the better!<br />

Autocross Hybrids<br />

by Charlie Davis<br />

Maverick, like lots of Regions, has developed it’s own<br />

“flavor” of Autocross. In fact, we have 3 distinct types.<br />

We still do a few classic small parking lot events…<br />

that used to be ALL we did. But many years ago, we created 2<br />

quite different formats and we have continued to refine them.<br />

In the beginning, there were 3 distinct types of competitive<br />

driving events (excluding Rallies): 1) Autocross, 2)<br />

Time Trial, and 3) Race. Today, these traditional types are<br />

blurred.<br />

Today, Maverick Region has two new types of events.<br />

We still call them Autocross and Time Trial, because we<br />

don’t have better names, but they are quite different than in<br />

the past. Most of our Autocross and Time Trial events are<br />

held on a huge, Vietnam-era parking lot (for helicopters, not<br />

cars), called the MineralRing. We have a few Autocrosses on<br />

the small Pennington Field parking lot. And in the past few<br />

years we have also had some at the site of the <strong>2004</strong> Parade<br />

Autocross, the Bus Lot at TMS.<br />

The vast size of the asphalt at the MineralRing led to<br />

what should properly be called a “Giant Autocross”. It’s still<br />

an Autocross, in the sense that it has most of the important<br />

Autocross characteristics: different course for every event,<br />

course defined by pylons, walk the course before running<br />

but no practice laps, one timed lap at a time, etc. We give<br />

more than the traditional 2-3 runs… 8-10 runs are typical.<br />

We also tend to not use pylons heavily. The big courses<br />

would require LOTS of cones and it’s logistically difficult to<br />

... there is nothing to run into - spins just put<br />

flat spots on tires ...<br />

do this. Instead, we tend to have widely-spaced features that<br />

require the entrants to remember where to go. And the big<br />

courses at the MineralRing lead to fast speeds. “Classic”<br />

AXes have speeds under 40 MPH, but our “Giant<br />

Autocrosses” in Mineral Wells often have speeds over 70<br />

MPH. In spite of this speed, the events are safe, since there is<br />

nothing to run into - spins just put flat spots on tires.<br />

The Maverick Time Trials are held on this same<br />

MineralRing lot. The TT courses are also defined by pylons<br />

and also have widely spaced gates. But in other respects, the<br />

format is different than the Giant Autocrosses: we have 3<br />

permanent Time Trial courses (and are working on a 4th),<br />

don’t walk the course, novices practice at reduced speed,<br />

each run set is one warm-up and 3-5 timed continuous laps,<br />

etc. We have a mandatory “ground class” for new TT drivers.<br />

Maverick Time Trials are different from the Autocrosses<br />

in another important way: The Autocrosses have “features”<br />

unique to the sport - things like slaloms, boxes, pivot cones,<br />

etc. These are things never seen on public roads (nor on our<br />

TT courses, which look very much like a race track, but<br />

defined by pylons instead of the edge of the pavement).<br />

There is yet another difference. For Autocross events, we<br />

set up two separate timing sensors, one to start and one to<br />

stop the timer. In contrast, for Time Trial events, we set up a<br />

single timing sensor, since the courses are designed for<br />

continuous laps.<br />

We use the same timing equipment for both type<br />

events. This equipment is quite technologically advanced.<br />

The timer and sensors are made by TAG Heuer and are<br />

used by other organizations to time F1 and Olympic downhill<br />

ski races, for example. The timer has a resolution of<br />

0.000004 second. We truncate the times to 1/10,000 second<br />

and display to 1/1000 second. The sensors are designed to<br />

operate spaced apart by over 300 feet, to protect them from<br />

sliding cars. There is a big display connected to the system<br />

that shows the car number, time (including penalty), the<br />

number of cones hit, and the run status (Good, DNF, or<br />

Rerun). We have a bar code reader to read the car/driver<br />

information from windshield labels. Finally, we have a<br />

“Traffic Light” that starts the cars, instead of the typical<br />

worker with a flag. Several MR members have jointly<br />

developed custom software to interface with the timer,<br />

display, reader, and light. This software is a Visual BASIC<br />

application that runs on a laptop from the front of the<br />

Truxster (the Maverick Region timing & scoring vehicle).<br />

The display, BCR, and traffic light are relatively new.<br />

MR bought them during the past year in preparation for<br />

the Parade AX. We have been using and will continue to<br />

use them for MR events.<br />

Displays and BCRs have been used by other groups,<br />

with mixed success. BCRs especially often have difficulties<br />

in an outdoor environment. We chose a contact type<br />

reader because it offered some shading from the sun. We<br />

selected the Code 3-of-9 symbology with a modulo-43<br />

check-digit which has proven to be very accurate. The<br />

labels allow a 4-character, alpha-numeric symbol, which<br />

permits thousands of different car/driver combinations.<br />

This will allow more than just the normal numbers (ie,<br />

“123”) but also interesting things like “PCA1”, “ME12”,<br />

and “SPIN”. We chose a special plastic material for the<br />

labels. It has been tested in rain, at high speeds, and in<br />

Texas heat…but not (yet) all 3 at the same time. This<br />

material also peels off easily, instead of tearing apart like<br />

most paper labels do.<br />

The bottom line is that our solo competitive events<br />

are different than those put on by other Regions and<br />

clubs. They are LOTS of fun and educational. They are<br />

also safely appropriate for our venues. Although there is<br />

no mandate to progress from Autocross to Giant AX to<br />

Time Trial to Drivers Ed to Club Race, that is a format that<br />

many people have followed with success. This sequence<br />

lets a driver learn (slowly and safely) to sense what his car<br />

is doing and how to control it…and to gradually increase<br />

the speeds and risks. I see an occasional racer come back<br />

to an AX or TT event to try out a new car or to test some<br />

modification(s). This is a smart and safe thing to do.<br />

The core Maverick Region Autocross group is justifiably<br />

proud of our AX and TT programs. We are well<br />

organized and self motivated. Everyone lends a hand. We<br />

put on excellent, safe events and continually strive to<br />

improve them. We’ll be in the spotlight during the Parade<br />

and hope that the Autocross comes off well and that<br />

everyone enjoys it. Come out and help us or just spectate.<br />

It’s going to be a fun 3 days...<br />

Parade Kids<br />

by Lisa Steele<br />

Although Parade is a great gathering of cars and events,<br />

it is also a place for our future Porsche drivers…the<br />

kids. Until about 4 years ago, the kids that came along<br />

with mom and dad had<br />

little entertainment of<br />

their own. Lanean<br />

Hughes thought it<br />

would be great to get<br />

the kids involved by<br />

setting up a kids’<br />

autocross. Her first<br />

course was set up in<br />

Milwaukee and each<br />

year since then the<br />

The Cartwheeler at Parade 2003<br />

entrants get more and<br />

more creative. Since the kids were not driving their own<br />

Porsche yet, they had to come up with a way to “run” through<br />

the course to get a time. We’ve had runners, bicycle riders,<br />

scooters, baby strollers (with an occupant), and yes even a girl<br />

doing cartwheels through the entire course. This year the<br />

kids are allowed to bring battery operated “vehicles.” It will<br />

be exciting to see what shows up.<br />

With the kids’ autocross being a huge success with the<br />

youth, we have now added more activities for them to<br />

participate in. Last year in Florida the youth had daily<br />

Teched to the max? Come wander the cool ambiance of<br />

the Parade ‘04 Art Show and indulge the right side of<br />

your brain! More than 50 artists are bringing their<br />

interpretations of the art of Porsche for you to enjoy and<br />

perhaps acquire. Paintings and photographs, gunstocks and<br />

handbags, a teapot and a coffee table, a clock and a Christmas<br />

ornament – some glamorous, some romantic, some<br />

whimsical, all enchanting. View them all, pick your favorite<br />

and vote for the winner of the People's Choice Award. Past<br />

award winners Carole Kjellsen, Burton Propp, Monique<br />

Straub, Karen Erz, Susan and Lauren Fleming are bringing<br />

more treasures this year. They'll be joined by first time<br />

Paraders for whom this IS the event of Parade!<br />

Several items in the show will be for sale, even more<br />

have been donated to the Silent Auction to benefit the Hope<br />

Family Shelter (a haven for victims of domestic violence).<br />

Still more have been sent to the Silent Auction by other<br />

generous masters of the art of Porsche:<br />

crafts, pool activities, “field trips”, pizza and movies, and<br />

much more. This year in Fort Worth, the youth will have<br />

many of the same activities offered to them. We will also<br />

have the great opportunity to have our kids’ autocross at<br />

Texas Motor Speedway. We have a fun filled day full of<br />

activities planned at TMS. After the AX, the teens will get<br />

to have a tour of the facilities while the younger youth go<br />

make pizzas with our very<br />

own Maverick member<br />

and pastry chef, Mimi<br />

Spreen. The kids will also<br />

get to spend a night at the<br />

nationally ranked Fort<br />

Worth Zoo.<br />

Because the Porsche<br />

Parade has become the<br />

family vacation for many,<br />

it is important to include<br />

ALL the family members.<br />

I hope that this Parade<br />

will be a fun and memorable<br />

experience for<br />

everyone including the<br />

Yokohama RC Cars! kids.<br />

Golf Outing<br />

by Lee & Linda Wilkins<br />

Love that sound of Porsches on track<br />

in the morning!<br />

Round up all your golfing buddies and head toward<br />

Texas Motor Speedway for a Texas<br />

shoot-out on the links at the Doral<br />

Tesoro. The Parade golf outing is<br />

Wednesday <strong>July</strong> 7 and you’ll need to<br />

leave the Worthington NO LATER<br />

THAN 6:30 a.m. (Yikes!) to beat the<br />

heat and get warmed up in time for<br />

our 8 a.m. shotgun start.<br />

The golf course is located directly<br />

across Highway 114 from the<br />

entrance to Texas Motor Speedway<br />

(where the autocross event will be<br />

running simultaneously). As the<br />

Parade golf chairs, we know the<br />

course and the conditions will be<br />

good on <strong>July</strong> 7. The course was originally<br />

designed by the Shark himself,<br />

Aussie Greg Norman. However,<br />

when he first played the course, he<br />

scored 82! Word of mouth (quite<br />

true!) was that the course was overly<br />

difficult, too narrow, lots of blind<br />

teeshots. The course managers quickly responded to these<br />

Photo provided by The Doral Tesoro<br />

PRINTER OF SLIPSTREAM SINCE 1982<br />

The Doral Tesoro Resort<br />

comments, and the course was closed. A total redesign of<br />

the course followed, and it is now a fair test of your game!<br />

You’ll enjoy the views of oak-lined fairways, rock<br />

outcroppings, and winding creeks.<br />

To get an on-line tour of the<br />

course, check out the website<br />

www.thecreeksatbeechwood.com.<br />

After the golf scramble, we’ll<br />

award trophies during a Hill<br />

Country barbeque lunch (indoors<br />

at the beautiful air-conditioned<br />

clubhouse).<br />

The BIG prizes—for a Hole in<br />

One on one of the three featured<br />

3 par holes—are sponsored by<br />

MERRILL LYNCH, thanks to local<br />

Maverick Region member (and<br />

golfer) Jack Ormberget. If you shoot<br />

a Hole in One, you may win a 2-year<br />

lease of a PORSCHE CAYENNE,<br />

two tickets on American Airlines<br />

within the 48 states, or a set of Nike<br />

Pro-Combo irons!<br />

There will also be prizes for<br />

longest drive (men and women) and<br />

closest to the pin (men and women).<br />

We look forward to seeing you at the Parade golf<br />

outing, it’s going to be a lot of fun!<br />

The Technology Behind The Trophies<br />

by Karen Erz<br />

You’ve seen those 3D images engraved in crystal at the<br />

local shopping mall, you’ve seen the 3D image of a 911<br />

in crystal being sold at your Porsche dealership, and<br />

now the logo of the 49th Porsche Parade is rendered in 3D to<br />

create this year’s Parade trophies. Have you ever wondered<br />

about the technology that is used to generate these unique<br />

products?<br />

The answer is a laser. The type of laser that is used is<br />

known as a Y.A.G. laser. It is very similar to the laser<br />

technology utilized in LASIK eye surgery. The laser passes<br />

through the surface of a piece of solid lead crystal and<br />

generates an intense burst of energy (light) at a designated<br />

focal point along the X,Y, & Z axes. This burst of energy<br />

creates a miniscule avalanche which to the naked eye<br />

appears as a dot.<br />

The laser is able to pass into the crystal without damaging<br />

the surface. Using lead crystal (as opposed to regular<br />

glass) enables GW International (the <strong>2004</strong> Parade Trophy<br />

manufacturer) to generate more than 200,000 dots per<br />

cubic inch. Careful synchronization of hundreds of<br />

thousands of these dots enables the creation of both 2D and<br />

3D images that are literally floating, captured in crystal.<br />

The production process begins with a simple twodimensional<br />

image such as a logo or a photograph. Using<br />

computer technology, a design team is able to render a<br />

three dimensional image which is then reproduced within<br />

the crystal.<br />

A second production option, known as portrait crystal,<br />

is the recreation of a 2D image inside the glass. High<br />

Photo by Karen Erz<br />

Cars are a favorite subject for this art form.<br />

resolution output allows you to see the pupils and count<br />

the teeth of people captured in portrait crystals. GW<br />

International has agreed to offer this option to Parade<br />

entrants, and can be found in the Goodie Store throughout<br />

Parade week. Bring your favorite photo on CD of a loved<br />

one (human or vehicular) and have it laser imaged in<br />

crystal. Please stop by and say hi to the guys from GW.<br />

They’d love to talk to you about their product as well as the<br />

amazing process behind the product.<br />

As an added bonus, GW International will give you a<br />

10% discount if you mention this article.<br />

Hope Shelter<br />

by Mark Gluck<br />

You are invited to imagine a project that, every day, will dramatically<br />

change the lives of women and children; a project to ensure that they<br />

continue to have the prospect of a better life, a prospect . . . of Hope.<br />

For ten years the Maverick PCA Region has been a significant supporter of<br />

Hope, Inc. - a home, a refuge, for women and children seeking shelter from<br />

the pain and anxiety of domestic abuse. The support has been welcomed<br />

and honored, taking the form of operating funds, repairs and maintenance,<br />

supplies, appliances . . . and<br />

Christmas gifts. During the past<br />

ten years the facility housing the<br />

shelter has aged a mere 10%.Yes,<br />

it is a frame structure that is now<br />

over 100 years old, and showing<br />

every sign of its age. For up to 30<br />

occupants - women and children<br />

- it has a single working shower, 5<br />

rooms and therefore at times<br />

sleeps 6 to a room.<br />

Fellow Porsche Club members<br />

and Parade attendees, I'm<br />

writing to provide you the opportunity<br />

to learn about, and assist<br />

with a project to create a new lease<br />

on life for the Hope Shelter - the<br />

project is ReBuilding Hope. It is<br />

our vision to build a 4-5,000<br />

square foot facility on land recently<br />

acquired by the shelter. The new<br />

facility will replace the existing 5<br />

bedroom, one bathroom sagging frame building with a purpose built<br />

home. This new home will have a children's room fully visible and<br />

supervised from the common area, where mothers can relax and regain<br />

their personal composure, in real security; facilities for meetings with<br />

Yes! I want to help. Here’s how:<br />

counselors and advisors; bedrooms designed to keep families together; a<br />

kitchen equipped to allow families to prepare their own meals, or cooperate<br />

to create group events;and supervisory facilities to keep them safe and secure.<br />

We have dedicated talent from our membership already donating<br />

their time, skills and energy - from experienced Habitats for Humanity<br />

participants through engineers, architects and planners. Many Mavericks<br />

have pledged support in the forms of<br />

subcontracting, materials and<br />

funds for permits, surveys, etc.<br />

Mavericks continue to step up<br />

to be a part of something<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 />
