Road Ramblings 

by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President 

Iwas recently given the July issue of a 

new magazine called “Texas Driver.” 

It is self-described as being about automotive 

enthusiasts who are passionate 

about what they drive, what they do, where 

they go, and how they do it…” Why I bring 

this to your attention is that none other 

than our own Jack Griffin’s garage was 

featured in the issue in an article titled 

“Garage Mahal.” Jack has a wonderful collection of 356, 

911, 914, and Speedster editions (8 cars in all). Two of 

which were entered in the historic car display at Parade 

’04 in Fort Worth in July. I don’t know how long their 

offer will last but if you email info@texasdrivermagazine.com 

and ask for the “three free issues as per the 

magazine ad” they say they will send them to you. 

I’ve read two issues now, and I think it’s a very 

interesting publication. It is a little like a combination of 

“Automobile” and “Christophorus.” By the way, Jack’s 

garage is very nice. Read the issue and you’ll know what 

I mean. 

On another topic, what about the new 997? The 993 

didn’t make me give up my 964 and the 996 couldn’t 

make me give up my 986. However, this car, the new 911 

Carrera, designated Type 997 gets me thinking about a 

change (sorry, Karen). Besides combining newer and 

old-line historic design cues, it is a value since it will 

offer more than the outgoing 996 in terms of features 

of mileage, time, and speed. Driver and passenger seats 

with power backrest, manual height adjustment and 

integrated airbags. Outside mirrors are electrically 

adjustable and heated. Automatic extending rear spoiler. 

Bi-Xenon lighting system with headlight leveling and 

washer system. Alarm system with radar interior 

surveillance. Split folding rear seats. Automatic full 

climate control. PCM with 5.8 inch color display, in dash 

CD and sound package, which includes 9 loudspeakers. 

Order option 670 for navigation. Footwell lighting. Auto 

dimming interior / exterior mirrors with integrated rain 

sensors. Homelink system. Cruise control. 

And finally, please look in this issue of Slipstream 

for information on the nominating committee for 

identifying the officer candidates for 2005. As I 

mentioned last month, we will be turning over several 

positions. The next issue of Slipstream should have a 

call for volunteers for the exact board positions we’ll 

have open, in addition to the Executive committee. In 

most cases, a good attitude and some time and effort is 

all you need to do a great job helping Maverick Region 

to be the best it can be for serving its members. As I 

write this I have just returned from a joint Club Race 

and DE at MSR we ran with the DFW chapter of the 

BMW Car Club of America, so there’s a lot of clean up 

and put-away to do. Till next month. 

... 997 gets me thinking about a change 

(sorry, Karen) ... 

and performance for the same price. The 997 also goes 

back to a multiple engine model lineup. There will be a 

911 Carrera, and a 911 Carrera S. The Carrera S having 

a 3.8 liter engine. I’m sure you’ve read about them in 

magazines. If you can’t get to a dealer in the next 

few weeks, Park Place Porsche, our sponsor of the 

September 18-19 Drivers Education event at 

MotorSport Ranch, will have three or four of them on 

hand for you to examine during the weekend. Here is 

the list of standard equipment on the “S” model. It is 

extensive: 

Standard equipment includes: 

3.8 Liter Flat 6 cylinder engine with vario-cam producing 

355 Horsepower. 6-speed manual transmission 

with dual-mass flywheel and hydraulic clutch. 19’’ 

Carrera S light alloy wheels. Anti-lock braking system 

(ABS). Porsche Stability Management (PSM). Active 

Brake Differential (ABD). Traction Control (ASR). Tire 

Pressure Monitoring System (TPSM). Porsche Active 

Suspension Management System (PASM). Braking 

system with 4-piston monobloc fixed alloy calipers and 

ventilated brake disks. 3-spoke sport steering wheel 

(Diameter 370MM) in leather with full color Porsche 

crest. On-board computer with continuous indication

Curves Ahead 

by Matt Platts, Slipstream Editor 

We’re still playing catch-up after Parade. 

In this month’s issue, you’ll find 

informative and entertaining articles 

about the Parade Club Race and Drivers 

Education events. Both events were very well 

attended, and I know that many Parade-goers 

enjoyed the ability to hit the “high banks” of 

Texas Motor Speedway. 

This issue contains a few special articles 

written by Maverick Region members. Bill and Marilyn Stafford 

went to the ALMS race at Infineon Raceway at Sears Point and 

brought back an article for us to enjoy along with several great 

photos. One photo in particular, got published in Sports 

Illustrated, Autoweek, People, and Racer. Great work Bill! Check 

out that article on page 16. You’ll also find a cool story about a 

trip to Santa Fe by Ben Hartsell, Trisha Henderson’s view of her 

first Parade, John Evans’ trip to Le Mans in June, and the 

beginning of a series of articles by Charles Freeman about his 

early 911T restoration project. 

The month of July, because of Parade, was a slow month for 

Maverick Region social activities. But that didn’t keep us from 

ending up with a great turnout at the Railhead Smokehouse in 

Colleyville. Railhead is one of my favorite locations, partly 

because it’s just a few minutes drive from my apartment (until I 

move!), and because of their great food at reasonable prices. 

I also agree with the slogan on the back of their t-shirts and 

enjoy supporting them for that. I don’t want to hurt any feelings 

Maverick Minutes 

by Teri Davis 

The August 10 Board Meeting was held 

at Autobahn Porsche. Attendees were 

Keith Olcha, Matt Platts, Joel Nannis, 

Joe McGlohen, Mike Brodigan, Lanean 

Hughes, Bob Knight, Charlie Davis and Teri 

Davis. We may have set a record for the 

shortest meeting. Keith called the meeting to 

order at 6:32 p.m. and we adjourned at 7:40 

p.m. 

Matt discussed future staffing needs for Slipstream. He 

envisions dividing the editor's job and thereby increasing 

the staff. Wendy and Matt will stay on the staff, but we are 

in need of a managing editor, someone to handle the 

graphics, and the newsletter always needs proofreaders to 

catch errors. 

Mike Brodigan discussed Slipstream advertising. 

Several advertising contracts will expire October 1st, 

at which time rates will be adjusted upward to reflect the 

growing cost of producing the newsletter. Mike also 

announced that we have some new advertisers signed on. 

Bob Knight announced that we do have money in 

the bank. The transfer of funds to the new bank is 

underway. A detailed financial report has been forwarded 

to the president. 

here, but feel free to check it out when you are in the neighborhood 

and would like some good Texas Bar-B-Que. 

Social activities finally got back into swing, beginning 

with a dinner social at Big Tom’s BBQ and followed by the Post- 

Parade weekend at the Cliff Lodge on Possum Kingdom Lake. 

I wasn’t able to attend either event, but I’ve heard that they 

were both a lot of fun. Look for articles about these events in 

the October issue. Coming up in November is the Maverick 

Region Founder’s Day banquet, then the Holiday Party in 

December. The Holiday Party is one that I look forward to every 

year – there’s always a wonderful variety of homemade food to 

enjoy – everyone brings their favorite dish. 

There is also some housekeeping to be done in this month’s 

issue. You’ll find the 2004 financial statement on page 24. It’s 

great reading for those of you with an eye for columns and 

numbers. We are also at the time of year when it’s time to 

nominate new Maverick Region club officer candidates. See the 

ad on page 17 and email the committee with your nominations. 

Finally, I’ve got to mention the driving events that are 

remaining this year. When you receive this, the September DE 

will be very close, but there may still be time to get in to the 

October DE. That’s the one I’m targeting this fall. There is also 

one last DE and AX coming up in October, followed by the 

Charity AX on Halloween day. The Charity AX is a “run what 

you brung” AX, so it’s always an interesting one. I hope to see 

you there! 

Joel announced that membership has now reached 

1206 members. 

Lanean brought a preliminary floor plan for the new 

Hope Shelter and announced that land has been found for 

the project. She also reported on the arrangements for the 

Founders' Banquet for Mimi Spreen. 

Another topic of discussion was the disposition of 

leftover supplies from Parade. The bookcases and jewelry 

cases loaned to the Parade Goodie Store will be offered to 

the school that provided storage space prior to and after 

Parade. Any pieces the school does not want may be 

disposed of in any manner the school decides. 

As host region, Maverick has first option to purchase 

leftover Parade goods at a discount. It has also been 

decided to purchase the leftover pylons as well as the 

copier purchased for Parade Concours scoring. The excess 

pylons will be placed in the region's storage facility for 

future use. The copier will be kept by Teri Davis for copying 

rally instructions; however, the copier will be owned by 

the region and may be used for other events as needed, or 

Teri will make copies for region purposes from originals 

provided by event chairpersons. 

Bylaw requirements for the Nominating Committee 

were quickly reviewed and the meeting adjourned.

Happy Hour at Railhead Smokehouse 

Photo by Dennis Chamberlain 

by Dennis Chamberlain 

The July Happy 

Hour was located 

at the Railhead 

Smokehouse, their layout 

and central location 

works out well for us. 

Those are the primary 

reasons we return there 

for happy hours every 

Happy Hour Crew: Jay Easley, nine months or so. OK, 

Tinker Edwards and Dennis Chamberlain 

well, the ribs are a good 

part of the attraction, 

too. And the inexpensive drinks. I guess the city of Colleyville 

hasn’t figured out yet that a margarita in a big beer stein is 

supposed to cost six bucks. Ignorance for them is bliss for us. 

Anyway, this was a great gathering because it came on 

the heels of the Parade, and getting to visit with Jan Mayo 

and some of her chief helpers as they reflected back upon 

the previous week was very interesting. And we had a 

special treat in that Bob Benson brought his laptop with a 

Scott Olson 


Elmer Saunders 

slide show that 

he put together 

from shots he 

had taken at the 

events at Texas 

Motor Speedway. 

It turns out that 

he had something 

like a 3 

zillion millimeter 

lens, which is 

magnified by a 

1.5 factor on his Lanean Hughes & Trisha Henderson 

digital camera, 

and he had it mounted on an exceedingly stable tripod. You 

could count the stitches on Brian Henderson’s racing gloves 

as he whizzed by Bob’s camera on the big oval. 

Frankly, our new member turnout was not up to par, 

but the reason was that for three months PCA had been 

behind on getting out the names of the new members. 

Accordingly, I hadn’t 

been able to email an 

announcement to any 

of them. We’ll catch 

up with all of them 

for the September 

happy hour. 

And speaking of 

our September 9 

happy hour, it’s on to 

a new place in Irving – 

Bahama Breeze, 

which was recommended 

by Mike 

Brodigan. Hope to see 

Brian Petri 

you there.

Parade Club Race 

Photo by Bob Benson 


by Keith Olcha 

For the first time since PCA Club Racing began, a 

Club Race was held during, and as part of Parade. 

Considering that PCA Club Racing, along with 

Drivers Education events, have become our club’s most 

popular and well-attended activities, it was very exciting 

to be a part of this event. Seventy-five racers from 

around the country took part in the racing that was 

divided into two run groups. Each run group had 

practice, practice starts, and a 10 lap fun race on Friday, 

... had his engine blow unexpectedly on 

the oval banking... 

and then practice, qualifying and two races on Saturday. 

The first race for each group was a sprint race gridded by 

qualifying times that lasted approximately 25 minutes. 

The second race for each group was a “Formula 

Libre” format. The Libre format involves gridding and 

starting the cars single file from the pits. The starting 

Bryan Henderson “leads the pack” through the chicane 

order is a reverse-order of their fastest single lap time 

from the weekend up to the prior sprint race. For 

example the slowest car of the weekend in that run 

group goes out first, and the fastest goes out last. 

Furthermore, there is a handicap (time delay) given 

All hands on deck to help clean up the oil spill! 


for each lap of the race, which in this case was fixed at 

14 laps. So back to our first example- the first car goes 

out. Let’s assume this car/driver is 10 seconds slower 

per lap than the fastest car. The last car would be held 

140 seconds(over two minutes) and then released. 

Theoretically, they should both cross the finish line at 

the same time. All the cars in each run group were 

each laid out in this slowest to fastest fashion and it 

made for great racing and viewing. The slower cars got 

a clear track and a chance to build a lead, while the 

faster cars had to pass cars and try to catch up to the 

front of the field. In both Libre races, all cars finished 

within half a lap of each other. 

Additionally 

there was some 

drama along 

with excellent car 

control, when 

Jim Cherry, driving 

a C class RS 

America had his 

engine blow 

unexpectedly 

on the oval 

banking in 

Nascar Turn 2 

and dump 10 

quarts of oil on 

the track. 

Following 

right behind 

was Glen 

Gatlin who went 

through the oil 

spill at over 150 

Side-by-side down front “straight”

Keith Olcha passing the “Nextel Tower” 

mph. Glen’s GT3 Cup Car spun 720 degrees (two full 

spins) and he managed to keep it off the wall as he 

gained control after the spins. Glen won an award for 

his driving, and we’re all glad it turned out okay. Of 

course, Jim got a bill for his engine rebuild, but he 

didn’t get hit either, thankfully. All told, it was a great 

Club Race, and I’m glad it could be an official part of 

the Parade ’04 agenda.

Sgt. Friday: “Really?” 

Ms. Drivesalot: “Scout’s Honor.” 

Sgt. Friday, (sighing): “OK. Who can corroborate this…this, 

‘alibi’ of yours?” 

Ms. Drivesalot: “John Sandusky. He was there. Go ask him.” 

Later… 

Sgt. Friday: “Mr. Sandusky, I’m Sgt. Friday. I have a few 

questions about the Parade DE.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “I was never there. I don’t know what you are 

talking about. I was out of town that weekend. I was visiting a 

relative. I had to clean the house. I was never at that hotel. Was she 

the cute one?” 

Sgt. Friday (agitated): “Sir, I haven’t asked you anything yet.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Well, go right ahead, Tuesday. What are 

waiting for? Christmas?” 

Sgt. Friday: “First, sir, it’s Friday.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Who’s on First?” 

Sgt. Friday: “No, not First. Friday.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “The Parade DE? It was on a Wednesday and 

Thursday. Obviously, Sgt. Monday wasn’t there, now was he?” 

Sgt. Friday (frustrated): “Ugh. My name is Sgt. Friday. I need 

to know what you can tell me about one Peter Porsche.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Well, Sunday, why didn’t you just say 

so? It all started on a Tuesday, if I recall. I got a phone call 

from Lanean Hughes, our hostess of hospitality, saying that 

Peter was interested in driving in the DE. He had never 

done one before. He wanted to drive in the DE on 

Thursday, so that left us Wednesday to work out the details 

and other arrangements. I discussed the arrangements 

with Bryan Henderson, our chief driving instructor, and 

Keith Olcha, our region president. Peter wanted to keep it 

low key, so we’d have to do our best and not make a big 

production out of it.” 

Sgt. Friday: “I get it. Porsche…cars…’key’…’production’. 

Nice play on words.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Sorry, no pun intended. Anyway, 

Thursday comes and Peter arrives with Jutta Aldenhoff, the 

Porsche Club’s liaison from Porsche in Germany. She is also 

entered in the DE, and is driving on Thursday as well. 

She has considerable experience on tracks and she is 

discussing the track layout with Peter. I talk with them for 

a while, and get Peter to fill out some paperwork from the 

event. I also explain the schedule and that I will be Peter’s 

instructor when he goes out on the track. They tell me that 

Peter will be driving a Cayenne S. I tell them that we can go 

out in the Blue group, and then follow that with the Yellow 

group if Peter feels like he wants to. Peter says to me, ‘You’ll 

be my instructor?’ I say yes and then he looks puzzled for 

a second.” 

Sgt. Friday: “So he’s guilty!” 

Mr. Sandusky: “You’re a sick-o, Saturday. No. He is grasping 

for an English word. He says something to Jutta in German, 

and she translates: “Peter says, ‘My condolences.’ He has a 

sense of humor, Saturday. Humor. Something it appears 

you’re lacking.” 

Sgt. Friday: “I had a tough childhood. So this Peter Porsche

DE drivers enter the infield straight braking zone 

person, head of Porsche AG. Tell me about his driving.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Well, I can tell he is ready to go. He and 

Jutta get to the grid area 20 minutes before the Blue session 

is about to go out. The White group had barely left. I meet 

them up there and get in the driver’s seat of the Cayenne 

with Peter in the passenger seat. I’ll do a couple of familiarization 

laps in the Cayenne before turning it over to 

Peter. We have time to talk about the track and his experiences. 

We talk about his childhood experiences with his 

father, and going to race tracks, and 914s with 8 cylinder 

engines, and the new 997 coming out. He tells me the 914/8 

is the only car he has taken to 300 kph. He says that is too 

fast on the Autobahn, and that too much can happen at 

those speeds. He also tells me this is only the 3rd track he 

has ever been on. He was on a track outside of Boston and 

the track in Estoril. He has never been on banking before, 

either. Time flies, and the White group is coming off the 

track. Soon we have our helmets on and we’re ready to go. 

We get waived out first, and I take to the track, explaining 

the parts of the track that we’ll be using as references. He 

pays astute attention to what is happening. I do a couple of 

laps and then bring the Cayenne onto the hot pit so we can 

change drivers. Once traffic clears, we are onto the track 

and he is quickly up to speed. He remembers the track like 

he has been here a hundred times. Soon we are catching 

others in the group and passing. He is tentative on the 

banking, but that is natural for people the first time there. 

Everywhere else, he is aggressive and confident. He pushes 

the Cayenne and is clearly enjoying the experience. Quickly, 

the session is over and they waive the checkered flag. On the 

cool down lap I tell him he has done very well and I can tell 

he is enjoying this.” 

Sgt. Friday: “And that’s it? It’s over?” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Not quite. He looks over to me and 

says, ‘We can go again, yes?’ ‘Yes, of course.’, I say. ‘We’ll go 

back to the grid and go out with the Yellow group.’ The 

Yellow session is a continuation of the previous session. He 

makes a little more speed on the banking, coming out of 

NASCAR turn 4 I see 110 mph the last few laps. He takes 

the chicane at 80, but only once. Most times, he is taking 

Doc Bundy drove a few visiting dignitaries for parade laps too 

the chicane at about 70 mph and using the entire width of 

the chicane with impressive precision. We pass a couple of 

more cars. He is quite natural driving the Cayenne, pushing 

it, squealing the tires. Soon, that session is over as well. On 

the cool down lap I tell him he is really doing well, and that 

I saw him hit 110 on the banking. He is proud, but he 

looks over and says, ‘But you were hitting 130.’ I told you 

he was observant of what was happening, even when I 

drove the Cayenne.” 

Sgt. Friday: “Quite impressive.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Not really. I think I could have hit 140.” 

Sgt. Friday: “No, not the speed. The story.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Oh, sorry. And, thank you. That was a 

thrill meeting Peter Porsche, and being able to be his first DE 

instructor. I’ll always remember that from the 49th Porsche 

Parade. I hope someone took pictures.” 

Sgt. Friday: “So that was it? The end?” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Yes, that was the extent of the driving. I 

did hear that on the way back to the hotel, Peter could not stop 

talking about driving on the track. He told them, ‘John said I 

hit 110 on the banking. How fast is that in kilometers?’ 

Ah…about 180kph they answered. ‘Yes!’ Peter said.” 

Sgt. Friday: “I think I have all the information I need. 

Thanks for your cooperation.” 

Mr. Sandusky: “It was nice talking to you, Friday.” 

Sgt. Friday: “Really?” 

Mr. Sandusky: “Scout’s Honor.”

Mayhem At Infineon 2004 

By Bill (aka Jim) and Marilyn Stafford 

Just 2 weeks after NASCAR attacked Infineon Raceway at 

Sears Point, the American LeMans Series (ALMS) came to 

town with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in the field. The track has 

been resurfaced, runoff areas expanded, and seating is great for 

the spectators. The good news was that ticket sales were up 

30% from last year (probably to watch Junior), but the bad 

news was that he didn’t make the race. Unless you live under a 

rock, you have been exposed to the incident, ad nauseam, 

including my photos in Sports Illustrated. So lets talk about the 

“incident” first. The following reasons for the crash and burn 

were offered to the media, spectators, track officials and anyone 

else who would listen: 

1. Greasy track from recent resurfacing (track temp was 

about 120 degrees. 

2. Cold tires. 

3. Bad Luck. This one is 

probably true. 

After the wreck, which 

shut down the race for 30 

minutes or so, it became 

apparent that the nasty bits of 

molten wonder putty, carbon 

fiber and pieces of unobtainium 

that had dripped 

from the Corvette, had dissolved 

some of the newly 

resurfaced track. But it was off 

line (unless you drove like 

Earnhardt) and therefore, the 

beat went on. 

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. emerges from the fiery inferno 

The Race: The field was limited to only 26 cars, with 3 

LMP1 and 3 LMP2 entrants. One can’t help but wonder 

about the future of a series that draws the GARRA race 

entrants, but I digress. Winner in the GT class was the team 

“Flying Lizard” a San Francisco based local team (until after 

the hooray ceremony, champagne squirt, press interview) The 

Officials reviewed the race stats after the race and decided 

they didn’t in fact win, due to a drive through pit lane 

infraction (you go into the pits, you gotto stop…. it’s a law). 

This put the Alex Job Team into 1st and 2nd respectively and 

moving the Lizard to 3rd. Despite the carnage to the Corvette 

team (#8 car burned) (#4 car hit once, crashed 2 times) the #3 

Fellows/O’Connell car came in 1st with the Lamborghini 2nd 

and the #4 Corvette 3rd. The LMP1 class was another Audi 

romp with J.J. Lehto and Marco Werner driving the Champion 

Photo by Bill Stafford 

Audi #38. They were never challenged, even though J.J. did 

take the Audi sightseeing down a Jeep trail. What can you 

say…. cubic money rules, although J.J. is a great driver and 

does have a nice Monaco tan to boot. 

The best race of the weekend was the SpeedWorld GT 

race on Sunday prior to the ALMS race. Finishing order was 

Porsche, Corvette, closely followed by the Pilgrim Cadillac 

CTS and a trail of GM parts. The Cads are getting faster and 

they look really cool. They (according to Andy Pilgrim) are 

“just a little too heavy”… probably due to the mini bar 

installation…but they do have a great climate control system. 

Pit Rat Notes - Known Fact: Earnhardt’s car suffered a 

fuel filter neck rupture on impact. Little Known Fact: The #8 

Corvette crew was up to 3:00AM Sunday installing a new 

fuel bladder on the car airfreighted from Detroit that day. 

Lesser-Known Fact: The 2004 

make-up of the racing fuel 

now contains Methanol, 

which is causing degradation 

of the fuel bladders and “O” 

rings in the fuel systems. 

Should this change? 

Really unknown Fact. 

Earnhardt travels with 2 

motor coaches – 1 for him, 1 

for his entourage. Car stuff 

comes in another. 

The German Porsche 

drivers did not know Dale Jr. 

They asked Holly Job (wife of Alex Job) “Who is this Dale 

guy? He must be pretty famous!” Since they were pitted next 

to the Corvette team they saw first hand the media and 

fan frenzy created by Dale, Jr. When asked ”Is Michael 

Schumacher as popular in Europe as Dale, Jr. is here in the 

States? They replied, “Michael is very popular and draws as 

much attention as this Dale guy.” That comparison seemed to 

put Dale’s popularity in perspective for them. 

It was the consensus of the drivers and team owners that 

having Dale, Jr. at the event was great for the series. Everyone 

was benefiting from the added exposure. Can this save the 

series? Will the NASCAR guys ever come back to ALMS? Will 

the German teams get Beer or chewing tobacco sponsors?

My First Parade 

by Trisha Henderson 

Iwould like to tell you what a great time I had at my first 

Parade. I was always told how much fun it was to go to meet 

old friends and see great cars. 

I didn’t think I had that many old friends to meet, but I 

really did! Having had the chance to accompany Bryan, my 

husband, to some of the Club Races he stewarded, I did not 

realize how many old friends I had until I had the opportunity to 

see them again at Parade. It was great visiting with those we had 

met through the Club Races. Is this where I say, “It’s not just the 

cars, It’s the people?!” 

Since Bryan was helping to put on the first Porsche Club 

Race during Parade and then racing in it, I decided that if I was 

going to volunteer I needed to choose something early in the 

week. I was lucky to get the opportunity to be apart of the 

welcome tent with Sandi Lapp, my best friend from Austin. 

To tell you the truth I didn’t put it together: Texas, the Fourth 

of July, Hot!!!, Outside under the welcome tent. It really wasn’t 

that bad. I met some really cool friends from all over the United 

States. Out of the few people who happened to stop by, one 

family went out of their way to find Sandi and me and give us a 

picture they had taken of us with their family. After the warm 

weekend of the welcome tent, I want to thank all the good people 

who volunteered with us. 

Monday seemed like a good morning to sleep in before we 

got busier with all the upcoming fun. Lo and behold Bryan set the 

alarm clock for 7 AM (or so we thought). When a horrible loud 

awakening alarm went off at 7 AM, Bryan almost demolished the 

little button on the alarm clock, when it was actually the fire 

alarm from the hotel. Over the loud speaker they announced the 

evacuation of the building. Well, of course, I had to put on my 

clothes and make up and find my purse before evacuating, right? 

I finally got Bryan out in the hall and had to knock on the door 

of my friends to make sure they were as miserable as we were 

being awakened for a Fire Drill! 

There actually was a small fire that the hotel’s building staff 

put out. I never did see the Fire Department, but what I did see 

was the best part of my Parade experience, the Concours!!! Early 

in the morning there was a cool green, almost tropical island 

feeling. There were beautiful cars from all ages in pristine 

condition. These cars were parked on the brick streets of 

Sundance Square within the shade of lush green trees. It was cool, 

green, and calming. The smiling faces of old friends and 

beautiful cars made a great day! 

I guess I could go on forever. I want to thank all the 

people who let us have the opportunity to put on a Club Race 

with Parade. It was difficult, but I believe well worth it. It is great 

to see that so many people find so many ways to enjoy such a 

great car. We were all brought together from many walks of life 

with different interests, yet we all have the one thing in common; 

we love the car. The people and the friendships aren’t too 

bad, either! 

Checkered Flag 

by Richard Miller 

And now a few words from Bill Evans, W5BMY. 

“Thanks!” 

Well, it’s only one word but Bill sure appreciated all the cards and calls during his recent 

unpleasantness in the hospital. 

Alas, this is a hard to write. The above message was conveyed by Bill when it seemed that 

he was well on the road to recovery from heart surgery. Yet, a few weeks after the surgery, 

Bill got to feeling bad. So back to the hospital he went. And the doctors found cancer. 

Bill was a Navy veteran. And a 45+ year member of SCCA. And a member of the 

Porsche club. And the past owner of a significant Porsche 356. And a ham radio operator. 

And an electrical engineer. And much more. 

Those of us in the SCCA will miss Bill for his early work in F&C and his recent, if you 

can call the past 20 plus years recent, work as Radio Bill. And those of us in ham radio will 

miss Bill for his knowledge and willingness to be an ‘Elmer.’ And those of us in PCA will 

miss his reminiscing about how cars used to be. And those of us who are in the Sports Car 

Club of America (SCCA), the Porsche Club of America (PCA) and the Garland Amateur 

Radio Club (GARC) miss him on all fronts. Funny, it seems like every where I went, Bill was 

ahead of me. 

Our sympathies go out to his wife Lois, and his daughter Donna, and to his grandchildren. 

73 Bill (which is ham talk for best regards), the checkered flag has waved (or as we all 

know, the race is run).

A Funny Thing Happened In Santa Fe 

Photo by Ben Hartsell 

by Ben Hartsell 

Michelle and I recently went on vacation to Santa Fe, NM. We 

decided to drive over and, for comfort and luggage space 

reasons, decided to take our ’02 Audi A4 3.0 rather than my 

’97 993 Carrera S. I had resolved NOT to talk all week long about 

my favorite subject – Porsches. After all, this was to be a vacation for 

Michelle as well. So after a couple of days relaxing at our resort we went 

into town one morning for breakfast at a French café. As I was standing 

outside after breakfast waiting for Michelle to appear I heard the 

familiar exhaust note of a flat 6 – no wait! – A flat 4 four Porsche motor. 

Then, to my surprise, around the corner wheels a stunning silver 

Porsche 356 Speedster! 

I thought to myself – “This is Santa Fe – no shortage of money 

hear so it’s not so surprising to see a car like that”- and I continued to 

wait for Michelle, wishing she had seen the beautiful car. Then, just 

as she arrived outside the café and we set off down the street I again 

heard the purr of a well maintained flat 4. Thinking the Speedster 

had come around the block, perhaps searching for the same café we 

had just visited, I caught Michelle’s attention – located the car – and 

pointed it out to her. But something was subtly different this time. 

The Speedster had a split rear grill – this car had a single rear grill, 

different plates,and was not a Speedster at all – rather a 356 Cabriolet! 

An exquisite example of a 356 Speedster 

Hmmm…what are the chances of seeing 2 pristine 356’s on the 

same day, in the same block of downtown Santa Fe, NM? Off we 

went for a drive up towards Taos – there are actually a couple of 

wineries to visit in NM! On the way I spied yet another Porsche – this 

time a beautiful Guards Red 993 with Colorado plates! “Well, there 

are quite a few Porsches in these parts”, I thought once again. Later 


There were plenty of Porsches on hand in Santa Fe 

that evening – back from dinner and relaxing at the Bishop’s Lodge – 

I again here the sound of an air cooled Porsche motor – but this time 

a six! I stepped out into the parking lot and there sits a beautiful ’74 

911 2.7. This is all becoming too coincidental so I walk over to the 

owner and introduce myself. The owner, Al Greenwood, had just 

driven over 400 miles from Denver to Santa Fe (averaging 37 mpg!!) 

in his 30 year old 911 with 471,000 miles on the odometer! Al, the 

original owner, told me he had the motor rebuilt 8 years ago and just 

in the past 2 weeks had the transmission out for the first time – he’d 

lost 2nd gear. I told Al my story about the 356’s we’d seen that 

morning and he informed me that there was to be a mini-parade and 

concours in the Santa Fe Plaza the very next day. 

Needless to say all our plans changed and Michelle and I spent 3 

hours on Saturday viewing many beautiful P-cars and meeting PCA 

members from the four corners. Michelle’s favorite was a stunning 

pale yellow 1998 993 Cabriolet. My favorite was a sleek Speed Yellow 

’96 993 C4S. 

The weak effort of the day was a guards red 2000 996 with an 

aero kit and GT3 wheels – the car was intended to be GT3 clone – 

including GT3 script on the rear deck lid! One look inside told the 

real tale, however, this car had rear seats and the tach redlined at 7k 

RPM. Until I saw that I had doubts, hopes even, that this was a Euro 

import of the Mark I GT3….I just hope the owner made all those 

changes to the car – and not an unscrupulous seller! 

The Road Runner Region pulled off a great event – there were 

even a couple of Mavericks in the concours! What a great surprise, 

beautiful day, and fantastic unexpected warmup to Parade ’04!

Early 911 Restoration: No. 1 

by Charles Freeman 

In what I hope to be a continuing series of articles I want to 

show everyone the fun, and not so fun, aspects of trying to 

restore an early 911. Let me start this off by saying that I have 

some mechanical skills and decent hand tool set. I am a big 

do-it-yourself fan mostly because of my budget. By training I am 

a chemist so I will test my ability to research, evaluate, and apply 

information with a lot of sweat involved. 

Which 911 to buy? Considering my budget, less than 

$5000, I knew I needed to look at an early model. I looked at 

a couple of ‘80s models but upon inspection the rubber components 

such as suspension bushings were sagging and needed 

replacement. All of the weather stripping was beyond its 

usefulness. Also, looking at oil leaks on the engines I figured it 

might be just as well to rebuild the entire engine than to spot 

to buy the car for $3500 if he would deliver it to my house. 

Whenever I see a car I want I usually make a bad decision and 

this may be one of them. 

So the car arrives at my house the next weekend and I am 

like a kid in the candy store. I look it over once more to make 

sure there was nothing obvious that I missed. In general it looks 

okay, so I start taking photographs of the car and start the interior 

removal. Most of the interior had already been loosened so 

it wasn’t a significant issue to remove it. One thing I learned a 

... I waited for the impending 

explosion and fire ... 

replace oil sealing components. Especially since oil is the 

life-blood of the engine. My investigations into the 2.7 L 

engines having bolt failure caused by excessive heat led me 

away from those years. Thus I ended up focusing my efforts on 

the early (pre-’74) models. I looked at several that I found 

locally but the price was too high. These were all in somewhat 

running condition but would need significant work and were 

outside my budget. The budget was dictated by my wife whom 

I will praise for her support of my never-ending love-hate 

relationship with automobiles (I will explain later). 

Finally, I found a 1973 1/2 911T Targa in Dallas (about 100 

miles from my house). The owner said it was a fixer-upper and 

he was right. He let me spend six hours tearing the car apart in 

my investigation for the killer (rust) and any other major issues. 

The car had a terrible black paint job (I assume to hide the original 

Sepia Brown color). I found one rust hole just under the 

drivers seat about 2 inches in diameter and another 1/2” size 

hole behind that. The undercoating (or what Porsche thought 

was a good idea) appeared to be solid except where the holes 

were. The Targa top material was gone but the folding mechanism 

was there. The owner’s garage floor was covered in a pool 

of oil. I figured I was rebuilding the engine anyway, so who 

cares about oil leaks. He attempted to start it and pumped the 

gas pedal. Before I could tell him to stop it backfired. I waited 

for the impending explosion and fire but it didn’t happen (now 

I kind of wish it had). Well, after all was said and done I agreed 

Photo by charles Freeman 

little too late was not to throw out parts as someone may pay 

you for them. I will add that I have the luxury of a 3-car garage 

with an attic. Without this space I wouldn’t be tackling this job. 

So here are my thoughts about the 1973 1/2 911T Targa. 

The engine is the best of the magnesium cases as it has extra 

webbing for greater structural integrity (7R case). The “T” 

engine was probably not overly taxed having the least horsepower 

of the 911’s of that time. The CIS induction system isn’t 

your friend for a very high performance engine but this can 

be remedied. I can either add carburetors or convert it to 

mechanical fuel injection (MFI). The MFI is even more 

plausible because this ’73 1/2 CIS is the only year where the 

injectors are in the heads and not the intake runners, right 

where the original MFI systems went. The Targa is not great for 

a track car but works well for an occasional drive to work, even 

if I don’t put the air conditioner back in. One point that our 

California brethren don’t understand is that profusely sweating 

while driving a car quickly reduces it’s fun quotient. 

Next time, more details on the teardown. 


The black re-paint needs a lot of help!

The 24 Hours of Le Mans 

Photo by John Evans 

by John Evans 

Just prior to the 24 Heures du Mans, I was ending a two week 

tour with some students in Europe. I wanted to fulfill a 

lifelong dream to go to the granddaddy of all endurance 

racing. This had been festering for over 40 years and now it was 

going to happen. 

Friday, June 11th: I boarded connecting trains in 

Switzerland to get to Paris, then changed stations in Paris. I 

had two 50 pound bags, each with a burned out wheel. I was 

dragging this heavy luggage up and down stairs, walking long 

distances from platform to platform, and it seemed like a mile 

from the Metro to the Le Mans bound TGV. I thought I was 

going to die right there. There were no elevators or escalators 

and the four levels of stairs are tall and steep. 

... two 50 pound bags, each with 

a burned out wheel... 

Upon arrival in Le Mans, I was going to store the bags in 

a locker at the station and backpack to the circuit. The 

non-English speaking information staff told me, “no lockers 

available because of terrorists.” I am exhausted from six train 

changes and the heavy luggage and there is no place to store 

the bags. They wouldn't even let me throw them in the 

garbage can and just walk away. I had come nearly 5000 miles 

to see something I had dreamed about since I was a boy and 

it was falling apart. 

A young lady at the station spoke English and called my 

only contact, Gilles, a local guy, to come get me at the station. 

As we were driving to meet our dinner party, a friend phoned 

and said he was unable to come to the race. Gilles said that 

his tent is already set up and did I want to use it? I had 

planned to sleep under a canopy of some CA friends. Club 

Arnage is a group, mostly English, who make the pilgrimage 

annually. Their website full of information, so I had made 

plans accordingly. 

About midnight, we headed for the campsite. 

Saturday, June 12th: I got into the tent about 3:00AM 

and tried to sleep with fireworks going off almost all night, 

then up about 7. I wanted to walk as much of the track as 

possible to get my bearings and found out quickly that there 

will be a lot of walking here. Le Mans is a race track area with 

A spectacular view of the main straight at Le Mans 

grandstand, pits, etc. but past the Dunlop Bridge, some esses, 

and around the bend the circuit merges into country roads. 

The circuit is about 8.5 miles and it takes an LMP1 car about 

3:35 to make the round at over 150mph average speed. 

I found a hill past the Bridge and settled in among a sea 

of people at 1:00. At about 3:00 a parade of Audi A8 sedans 

appeared under the Bridge, thru the esses, and around the 

bend. They were led by an Audi Le Mans. It’s a supercar to 

compete with the Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo. The 

sedans were deployed around the track and used as safety and 

medical cars for the race. As the track marshals and corner 

workers manned their locations, the crowd began to get 

excited an hour before the flag dropped. 

At 3:45 everyone was standing and a “nasty” sounding 

A8, clearly different from the earlier group, was leading the 

warm up lap. Everyone cheered as over 40 racers drove past 

most sounding like high pitched Asian powered cars except 

for two yellow ‘vettes. They were dramatically different. 

At 4:00, the seventy-first 24 Heures du Mans began. I 

heard the revving of engines and two heart beats later as I’m 

focused on the Bridge I see the LMP1 Audi’s, then other cars 

following at a frantic pace. They are through the esses and 

past me so fast, I can’t follow them. It takes me several laps to 

adjust to their speed through the esses and around the corner. 

There is huge difference in watching cars go past on TV and 

seeing them for real. Things are a lot faster when you are there 

by the track. 

I spent some time walking to viewing areas along the 

track and all the time in awe of the whole spectacle. At 9:00, 

the Club Arnage gathering is at the Champaign Bar. I enjoyed 

meeting many guys, about 2 hundred, that I had talked with 

on the website. Some, I had asked questions and so they knew 

who I was, a newbie from Texas. 

Afterwards, I went back to the track to watch night racing 

for a whole different perspective!!!! It was surreal. There were 

areas of dark where only the lights of the car illuminated the 

track contrasted to areas where the TV lights were like 

daylight. I watched the cars in hard braking just before the 

Mulsanne straight and saw the red/orange glow of their disks. 

Sunday, June 13th: At 3:30AM, I tried to sleep. Even with 

earplugs, I could hear the cars since they were about 100 yards 

from my tent. At the beginning of the race, I was drinking a 

bottle of water watching the cars go by but when the 

Corvettes went past the plastic water bottle would vibrate in 

my hands. These cars have such a macho rumble that the 

ground literally shakes as they go by. I did manage a little sleep 

but I could tell every time the ‘vettes passed even 100 yards 

away. The crowds loved them and cheered as they would roar 

past. Nothing else sounds like them. The Audi’s are the 

quietest and the fastest. They sound like rushing wind as they 

come toward you with a muffled quiet sound as they go past 

and exit away. The ‘vettes just beat you with a deep sonic 

barrage that assaults every cell in your body. 

I got up Sunday morning and was happy to know the 

‘vettes are still running because I hear them circling every 3 

minutes 50 seconds. The USA representatives from GM were 

making a good showing and leading Ferrari. 

22

I borrowed a grandstand ticket for a couple of hours and 

just watched the cars run. I was right across from the Corvette 

pits located in the middle of pit row. With grandstands on 

both sides of the straightaway, it was like being in a drum with 

the cars screaming past. At 1:00 I select my spot for the finish. 

There are terraces between the grandstand and the track for 

people to sit or stand. So that’s where I wanted to be, about 10 

steps before the finish line. About 50,000 other people 

thought the same thing but I got there about 30 minutes 

before the crowd. 

At 3:45 the overall winner was in doubt. After 24 hours of 

refueling, tire changes, driver changes, wrecks, repairs, there 

were 34 seconds between the first and second cars. The crowd 

went into a frenzy as the Audi UK is trying to close in on the 

#5 Audi. The Champion Audi (US sponsored), wrecked 

in hour 2, had been repaired and had climbed from 44th 

position to 3rd and was closing fast on the front runners. The 

race ends with 40 seconds between the two Audi’s with the 

Champion Audi coming in third. The closest race in Le Mans 

history. As the cars pass by, the crowd cheers all cars. They 

appreciate any car that finishes. They all realize that this has 

really been a 24 hour sprint race because the lap times were 

still very quick. 

On the winners podium the teams gathered by their 

respective flag and it surely was great to see the Stars and 

Stripes on display. The winner’s national anthem was played 

and champagne was sprayed by the drivers onto the crowd 

just below. The LMP2, GTS, and GT categories were won by 

USA sponsored cars, unprecedented. It was very emotional 

for me to see the US flag and hear our National Anthem 

played for the class winners. I was very proud to be an 

American.

As I departed from the crowd and made my way back to 

camp to pack and catch my ride to the train station, I was 

thinking, what an experience, what a story, a dream come 

true. 

At the train station, I saw the first American I had seen in 

several days, a photographer with Car and Driver to do a 

Le Mans story for an upcoming issue. Corvette drivers Johnny 

O'Connel and Ron Fellows came to wait for the train and we 

have a nice conversation. 

Did I have a great time? Do I want to go back? Was it 

worth it? Le Mans is more than a race around the clock. It 

is an EVENT that has to be experienced to understand. I 

wanted to write this down before my aging mind forgets. Or, 

maybe I can review it as I prepare for what I didn’t get to do 

or see this time. Gotta do it again!

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Value 

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

value of the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, 

when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. 

Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains 

distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not 

been waived in various periods. The S&P 500 index is based on 

common stock prices, including reinvestment of dividends and 

capital gains distributions, and is generally considered representative 

of the U.S. stock market. Source: Lipper Inc.
