Road Ramblings 

by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President 

This month, we’ve published our 2003 yearend 

financials. Some of you may be 

wondering what we do with the sources of 

income the region gets- our portion of your PCA 

National dues, event entry fees, and contributions 

from our various event sponsors and Slipstream 

advertisers. Well, expenditures fall into a few basic 

categories: The first is the rental of venues, 

whether it is a racetrack, autocross lot, private 

room for a social, etc. Another is the purchase of equipment and 

re-usable items. These are flags, radios, coolers, cones, computers, 

and our autocross truck. Finally, we have the printing of this 

monthly newsletter and various administrative items such as rent 

on our storage facility where we keep many items until they are 

needed, checking account fees, and miscellaneous expenses. 

Periodically during the year, we also give donations to the Hope 

Shelter based on various events such as Founders Day and our 

Charity Autocross to name a couple. As a non-profit organization, 

we try to maintain that three-way balance of providing events at 

a reasonable price, having good equipment and systems, and 

maintaining a monetary cushion for the unexpected. Next year’s 

report should also have some finances relating to Parade. PCA 

National manages and underwrites Parade so we are assured of 

break-even or a profit financially, without a lot of the transactions 

going through the region’s books. 

With February here, the driving/participating season has 

returned. A brief 2-1/2 month hiatus from Thanksgiving until 

late February, but we’re back. Did I do anything constructive 

car-wise? Yes, but not enough. I wanted to make the 911 ready for 

the DE and CR season, which appears to be accomplished. 

However, I wanted to work on the Boxster S’s suspension. I will 

still align it in the garage, but I had wanted to put on lowering 

springs also. Either H&R progressive, or Porsche Rest-of-World 

M030 springs (which lower the car less than the H&Rs but are 

highest priority in availability and bumping. Also, the only 

banquet and/or function you will be able to pay and sign-up for 

if you do not register for Parade along with your club race and/or 

DE registration is the Saturday night victory banquet. And once 

again, if you do not register for Parade, you will not be able to 

attend any of the banquets, functions, or sessions at all. Parade is 

the July 4th-10th week; with activities running from the welcome 

banquet on Sunday (July 4th) until the victory banquet the 

following Saturday night. Please refer to www.parade04.org, or 

the PCA website (www.pca.org) for more details. 

Matt Platts is probably going to tell you about all the great 

events in February and early March, so I’ll just say I plan to be at 

most of them. I’m very excited about our new chair positions for 

Autocross and Time Trials and I thank our outgoing chairmen 

heartily. I also want to thank Mike Oakes for being Webmaster 

for the last several years. Steve Boyd (you can see his work at 

www.parade04.org) will be taking over for Mike as they 

transition during the next month or two. Also, Dee and John 

Lersch have done a great job running the goodie store for the last 

two years. Their time is up, and we need someone (or a couple) 

to please take over that position. It involves bringing the items to 

about 5-6 events throughout the year, and managing the small 

inventory. Dee and John will help transition to whoever 

volunteers. Later in the year, we plan to have the goodie store 

items available for display on the Maverick website and buyers 

can contact the goodie store via email. Please call or email me if 

you are interested. Till next month. 

... Did I do anything 

constructive car-wise? ... 

not progressive). I’m still going to try and fit that in. Personally 

I prefer a non-progressive spring for the track, but that first inch 

of smooth vertical travel is nice on a relatively stiff-sprung 

street-car, which the Boxster S is. There are five months until the 

Porsche Parade in Fort Worth, and since I live 25 miles form all 

the venues, I intend to concours and autocross the Boxster, and 

club race the 911. 

When you read this, please note that you are now in the entry 

window for registering for Parade. I really feel that even if you 

don’t travel outside the region for another Parade, you ought to 

attend this one. Registration will fill up in a month or so, and I 

recommend you get registered before the end of February if you 

haven’t already done so. You will receive a return packet at the end 

of March with the final forms and steps to complete. Some 

people have asked if they will be allowed to sign up for the 

drivers education and club race without being Parade attendees. 

The answer is yes, but remember, Parade attendees will have

Curves Ahead 

by Matt Platts, Editor 

By the time you get this, our 2004 driving 

season will be underway. The driving 

schools and DE get us off to a running 

start, soon followed by a busy March that 

also includes a Swap Meet, Dinner Social, 

and a one-day tour. If you are planning to participate 

in this year’s Autocrosses and Time 

Trials, you better leave the entire month of 

April open – take a look at the calendar and 

you’ll see what I mean! 

Speaking of calendars, you can take a look at the full Maverick 

Region calendar on the website (http://www.pca.org/mav). 

The calendar page now includes detailed information about the 

first several months’ activities, and there is a downloadable PDF 

calendar that has the entire year’s plans. We still recommend 

checking the website or Slipstream as the event date gets closer 

to make sure nothing has changed. We also received a tour 

update from Ted Glover at the January board meeting; there will 

be a tour in almost every month this year. 

Maverick Minutes 

by Mimi Spreen 

The January Board meeting was held at the 

home of Karen and Keith Olcha on Tuesday, 

January 6, 2004. Attendees were Keith and 

Karen Olcha, Lanean Hughes, Wendy Shoffit, Mimi 

Spreen, Noby Takahashi, Joe McGlohen, Joel Nannis, 

Mike Brodigan, Dennis Chamberlain, Matt Platts, 

Bob Knight, and Bill Miller. The Meeting was called to 

order at 7:11 pm and began with Keith's 'Round the 

Room. 

Keith – Talked to Ted, he has full tour list for 2004. Keith will remind 

Ted about insurance prior to each tour. Ted is delegating the duties of 

Tour meister on a couple of different tours. Tour dates have been given to 

Matt. March 6&7 are AX Schools at Mineral Wells. Change the Dinner 

Social and Swap Meet dates to March 13. We need to renew the rental on 

the storage facility. Motion made to renew, seconded and passed. 

Bob – We have money and financials will be printed in the February 

Slipstream. 

Joe - Needs some new equipment, but less than $150.00 

Lanean – We have the sponsorship money from Autobahn for Feb 

DE. Visit to Hope Shelter at Christmas time was wonderful. Talked 

This month’s issue was initially looking pretty thin, but 

everyone who promised to submit articles came through with 

flying colors. You’ll find several informative articles this month. 

Whether you are looking for a little technical reading or what to 

do now that you’ve signed up for Parade, you’re in luck. Pay 

particular attention to Mark Gluck’s article on page 11 about a 

project to improve The Hope Shelter in a very dramatic way. 

Keep an eye on Slipstream over the next few months; there will 

be more information about the Hope Shelter project to come, as 

well as many opportunities to help out. 

Finally, I would like to thank the board for approving the 

purchase of the new Macintosh for Slipstream publication. This 

is the first issue with the new Mac, and it went quite a bit 

smoother than it has in the past. The old Mac was about 5 years 

old and was getting to be a little rough around the edges. The 

speed and stability of this new computer cut at least 4 hours out 

of my monthly 16 to 20 hours of work spent putting each issue 

together. I can assure you that this was money well spent! 

about printing some kind of card or pamphlet to pass out at events to let 

Lanean know who is interested in helping with the new Hope Shelter 

project, whether it be with a cash donation, or services. 

Bill - Time Trial Maven - dates are locked down. Bob Manskey is 

offering to clean up and stripe the track. Volunteers needed for the 

Sunday after the Saturday school to paint. Asking for small coolers to 

hold water at each worker station. Will check with Charlie to see if there 

is room in Truxter to store the coolers. 

Noby – There are no events that require insurance in January. 

Joel - We have members, over 1200. 

Mike – Slipstream advertising is going ok. 

Dennis - Has posters for Keith to take to the Porsche dealerships. 

The February Happy Hour Saltgrass Steak House at I-635 and 

MacArthur in Irving. 

Matt – The new Mac is great. He needs articles for filler in February 

and got several volunteers. 

Wendy - Registration for Parade opens on 1/26/04. Your envelope 

needs to be postmarked not before the 26th and preferably *on* the 26th. 

Motion made to adjourn at 8:56, seconded and passed. 

Contrary to magazines which start reminding you to renew 13 years 

before your current subscription expires, PCA only sends out one 

renewal notice. If you do not pay your dues before (or *slightly* after) 

your membership expires, you will be dropped from the national roster. 

That means you'll no longer get Panorama, Slipstream, or first priority 

into DEs! PCA makes it easy to renew with both mail-in forms and 

online registration. Besides, it's only $42 per year! 

Remember to Renew! 

Help us help you and RENEW! 

If you are thinking of not renewing, please contact one of the board 

members on page 4 so we can know what we're doing that isn't suiting 

you. If we don't know that there's a problem, we can't fix the problem. 

We want you to be happy in the club and are doing our very best to 

schedule a variety of events for everyone.

Happy Hour at The Abby Grill

Elephant Bar ready to party, 

with shoes that matched the 

décor. If you think I’m making this 

up, check out the photo below. Was 

it a coincidence? We’ll never know 

for sure. 

view of the fact that the Maverick 

Christmas party had just taken 

place five days earlier. The 

Elephant Bar staff bent over 

backwards to take good care of 

us, and the partygoers found 

that the menu, as Lanean had 

promised, was extensive and 

inexpensive. The semi-separate 

area that management set aside 

for us was almost perfect. The 

only problem with the Elephant 

Bar was the parking. Hopefully,

“Building” For Hope 

By Mark Gluck 

Photo by Dave Frick 

The Hope Shelter provides an essential emergency refuge for 

victims of domestic violence and abuse. The shelter provides 

services for 5 North Texas counties to give them the 

additional security that physical distance can provide. 

The shelter is presently housed in a very old frame structure in 

Mineral Wells. For up to 30 occupants - women and children - it has 

a single working shower, 5 rooms which at times sleeps 6 to a room. 

While it is a safe location, there can remain the additional stress of 

A recent addition to the Hope Shelter, thanks to Maverick members 

families sometimes being split between sleeping arrangements. There 

are also many other stresses from the limited physical facilities. 

Re-Building Hope stands for the construction and occupancy 

of a 5,000 square foot facility by April 1st of 2004, to give them the 

room they need now and for years to come. Residents will have 

the additional benefits of an easier living experience, with better 

sleeping, eating and other domestic facilities. 

The shelter, a United Way member agency, survives on a 

combination of grants and federally matched donations (including 

those from the Maverick Region Porsche Club), and does a 

wonderful job with what is available. Without this project they will 

continue to use their funds to operate the shelter, of which a substantial 

amount will go to keeping the existing building functional. 

Here is an outlet for your desire to support your community 

and Maverick Region’s highly valued contribution to this charity. 

Can you see how you might help make Re-Building Hope real, 

through your knowledge, your contacts with others that would 

love to be involved with this project? Virtually every aspect of 

construction assistance is still needed, from the land to the roofing 

and everything that goes in between. If you can contribute any 

service or materials related to construction, you will instantly 

become a key component of the success of this project. Your time 

and involvement are also incredibly valuable, we need people to help 

coordinate the activities and donations and, ultimately, to build the 

structure. Monetary donations are also welcome, of course. 

Let us know how you would like to become involved. 

Yes! I want to help. Here’s how:

Maverick Driving Schools - Class of 2004 

By Kevin Hardison 

Time to get ready for school! The Maverick Region is sponsoring five driving 

school days this year to help get you ready for the upcoming driving 

season. We have something for everyone this year, from “Newbies” to 

Club Racers looking for an opportunity to do a little testing and tuning. 

Everyone is encouraged to participate regardless of their experience. 

This year all of the school days will occur before the start of the official 

Time Trial and Autocross seasons. We encourage everyone interested in driving, 

instructing or helping out this year to email drivingschools@mavpca.org now 

to get on the email list for updates and more info. 

Advanced Time Trial 104 - TT104 

Mineralring - Mineral Wells, Texas - Saturday, February 7th 

This is the “Advanced” school you may have heard rumors about. All 

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

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

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

apply. Students should have some driving experience and must bring their own 

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

The day will start early with the maximum track time planned possible. 

Drivers will be paired up and you will be either driving, riding or working 

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

for their students to ride with them. A few exceptions will be allowed. 

Parade laps will be immediately followed by timed runs. Courses #1, 

#2 and #3 will be setup in quick succession. No long classroom discussions 

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

times will be published, but at end of the day a TTOD Time Trial 

Shoot Out is planned. Proceeds from this session will benefit the Hope 

Shelter in Mineral Wells. 

Ladies Only Autocross 105 - LA105 

Pennington Field - Bedford, Texas - Saturday, February 21st 

Our traditional ladies school taught by some of our best lady drivers, 

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

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

are designed to help you learn to work with your car. Extra time is allowed 

to make sure you can gradually increase your speeds as your confidence grows. 

Threshold braking, slaloms and skid pads will be featured in the morning. 

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

instructed event and you will always have someone to help you throughout the 

day. Timed Fun Runs for workers and instructors at the end of the day. 

Intro to Autocrossing 101 - IA101 

Pennington Field - Bedford, Texas - Sunday, February 22nd 

This school shares the same format as the Ladies School from the previous 

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

to attend an autocross. Students and Instructors will work the corners during the 

autocross to gain valuable insights. Timed Fun Runs for workers and instructors. 

Autocross 102 - AX102 

Mineralring - Mineral Wells, Texas - Saturday, March 6th 

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

The Mineralring is perfect for exploring the limits of your car. Students will get the

Holiday Hope Shelter Trip 

By Lanean Hughes 

Photo by Wendy Shoffit 

“Ho Ho Ho,” were the three little words on December 21, 

2003, as several Maverick Santas left for Mineral Wells and the 

Hope Shelter. Many thanks go out to the members who made the 

“Santa Trip.” The smiling faces of about 10 children, moms, and 

staff members made the trip so worthwhile. Let’s not forget about 

the wonderful refreshments provided by the Hope Shelter Staff 

and it’s Board Members. 

Special thanks to Jean 

Frick for bringing her 

violin so we could sing 

Hill talks to an admirer of his car 

Christmas songs, Dave 

Frick for taking pictures, 

and Wendy Shoffit who 

delivered toys in her 

beautiful “white sleigh”, 

Mark Gluck brought his 

sons who made a little boy 

especially happy when 

they attached the training 

wheels to his bike. Hill Bullock and son also brought and took the 

time to talk to a 15-year old admirer of his car. Kevin Procaccino 

delivered the paint for the shelter. Teri Davis, Clara Lewis and her 

granddaughter Kristen (came to help with holiday cheer). A great 

big thanks to the Maverick Region members for sharing and 

caring by providing toys and cash. We gave the families and staff 

of the Hope Shelter a memorable holiday! 


Happy kids search for their favorite new toy 

Look for more information on our “Rebuilding Hope” 

project, headed up by Mark Gluck in this issue of Slipstream. 

P.S. The washer and dryer are absolutely beautiful, and 

EVERYONE is invited to see them. Maverick Region can be proud 

of their purchase, and a special thanks goes out to Candy Miller 

& Family for providing them at a specially discounted price.

It Really Is Not The Cars, It Is The People 

by Joe McGlohen 

Ithought this would become easier after some time passed, 

but it hasn’t. Several years ago I was doing “unauthorized 

Tech Sessions” at my place on 914 topics as maintenance on 

my 914 racer dictated. I made a lot of new friends doing this 

and the company made working on the race car a lot more 

enjoyable. One of the frequent attendees was Doug Burnett. 

Early on in our friendship he told me that he wished he was 

physically stronger and could do more of the physical work. He 

explained that he was frequently on medical leave because he 

was fighting a rather rare form of Leukemia. This hit pretty 

close to home. I lost my dad to Leukemia in 1995 have a niece 

that has been in remission for many years. Doug may not have 

been a lot of physical help but he was a lot of encouragement. 

...Those guys wouldn’t even let me hold a 

wrench or screw driver... 

The Burnett home is just a couple of miles from mine and 

sometimes Doug, sometimes with Mary Helen, (his then 

expecting wife) and then later, all three including their new son 

Benjamin, might drop in when they were passing by if they saw 

me at work on the car. His love of 914’s was really amazing. He 

bought John Sandusky’s blue 1975 car (not running at the 

time) and had several things done to it to get it running. I 

think he probably bought every book ever in print about the 

914, and became a wealth of knowledge on the cars. Doug was 

a rather amazing, kind and gentle man. His first career had 

been as a youth minister until he decided he really needed to 

make a living to support a family. He had become an IT project 

manager with James Martin and Associates. (Martin is one of 

the most respected and prolific authors published on IT). 

About a year ago Doug lost his battle with Leukemia. He 

had undergone a bone marrow transplant in the fall and there 

were serious complications that developed. Mary Helen kept 

me abreast, but it was rather painful to follow because of my 

own family experiences. In April, Mary Helen asked me to help 

her dispose of Doug’s 914. It had come home the last time from 

a short drive in late summer of 2002 with Doug and several 

neighbors pushing it. About half a block from the house it had 

abruptly stopped running. Shortly after that, Doug’s condition 

started downhill and never got better. 

Proud new owner of Doug’s 914, Chris Alvarado 

Photo by McGlohen 

One Sunday afternoon Tom Petruska went over to the 

Burnett home with me to try to determine the problem. All we 

could determine was hat the engine was seized, and none of 

the usual indicators in valve train or starter were evidence to 

diagnose the issue. We drained the oil and Tom dissected the 

filter. No Clues. We pulled plugs and could not see the issue. 

A few weeks later I went over with my trailer and picked up 

the car, and brought it to my home shop. I put out a call on the 

MRPCA Yahoo list for volunteers, and up popped four folks; 

Howard Kimbro (more frequently seen working a corner at 

our DE and race events), along with Joe Yoder, Andy Garner, 

and (thankfully) one of the most knowledgeable 914 guys 

around, Clay Perrine. Early one Saturday morning we gathered 

in my garage and in no-time-at-all the engine and gearbox 

were out. Those four guys wouldn’t even let me hold a wrench 

or screw driver, other than to hand it to them. 

By early afternoon we had identified the problem. A valve 

seat had dropped, bounced around a bunch before breaking 

into pieces small enough for one to wedge between the 

Cylinder wall and the piston, effectively locking that piston. 

After a fair amount of discussion the consensus was that all the 

A close-up look at some of the damage done to the head 

valve seats needed to be replaced, and the engine needed a top 

end down to the rod bearings. We were not sure that the 

damaged head could be repaired. I went looking for parts and 

services as economically as possible. I was amazed at all the 

help and cooperation I received. Here are some of the folks 

who helped and how. 

Mayo Performance donated my choice of a couple of 

reparable heads. I could have either of them if it would be less 

expensive to repair than the one that came out of the car. Lyle 

Cherry, who is nationally famous for his Type-1 VW race 

motors and about the only one still working on Type-4 

(i.e. 914) cylinder heads picked the best of his three choices and 

put all new seats and roughed in the valve job, charging a lot 

less than his usual rate. Tom Petruska (Mayo Performance) 

donated the shop labor needed to finish out the valve job and 

assembled the heads. Many, many Thank You’s to Tom and 

Mayo Performance!! 

The pistons and cylinders in the car were very low miles, so 

we had hopes of finding a single new euro P&C to replace the 

damaged one We needed one fairly new, or a full set of in-spec 

used Piston-cylinders as well, since the one in the damaged 

18

cylinder was unusable. Jon at Engine Builder’s Supply looked 

high and low among his customers for a good new single piston. 

Mark Hannah offered a couple of pistons and cylinders and a 

rod if needed. Rich Johnson went looking because he thought 

he had a new partial set. Sadly he couldn’t find it. The pistoncylinder 

issue was finally settled when Rich Lambert came up 

with a good used full-set with new rings, and sold them to the 

project for a song. He even honed the jugs and installed 

the rings on the pistons. He weighed the rods, lightweight 

wrist pins, and pistons so we could optimize the balance 

(Which came to within a tenth of a gram in the final assembly). 

Since the motor had come to an abrupt stop, we needed 

to have the rods checked for straightness, Magnifluxed to check 

for cracks, and reconditioned with new bushings. Automotive 

Machine and Supply in Fort Worth did the rod work at considerably 

less than their usual shop rate. Although I checked 

the offending cylinder’s rod journal for roundness, if any of the 

rods had a serious dimensional issue we probably would have 

split the case to have the crank checked for straightness. 

Dennis and Kirk at Zim’s Autoteknique provided the 

miscellaneous parts needed at garage net or better pricing. 

Once we had determined the problem and how we were 

going to fix it, I put the car up for sale on the MR, LSR, and 

HCR web sites and in their monthly newsletter. I had several 

interested folks contact me, but the person that came in first 

with the earnest money was Chris Alvarado from HCR region. 

He came up from Austin and looked at the car while the repair 

was in process. He asked a few questions, I explained the 

path we were on, and he agreed to the asking price. He left a 

significant deposit check for Mary Helen and headed back 

home. I had agreed to install a couple of aftermarket seats and 

do a couple of little extras for Chris after he decided to buy

Clay Perrine, Joe Yoder, Howard Kimbro, Andy Garner & Joe McGlohen 

the car. When Howard, Joe Yoder, Andy and Clay completed 

the repairs (with me mostly watching), Chris returned. We 

completed the purchase transaction, and after a short test drive 

(and the finalized installation of the new seats), we put the car 

on the trailer Chris had borrowed, tied it down, and he headed 

home to Austin. I am not certain if he has sold his 944TurboS, 

but he has changed is signature tag line to reflect his pride in 

the 914. The last reports from Chris indicated he is really 

enjoying the car. 

I very much appreciate all the people and the businesses 

that aided this project. Please patronize them and tell them 

you appreciate their help as well. Although I lost a kind and 

gentle friend a year ago, I now have some new and very strong 

friendships with, and respect for four others. Thanks to each 

one of them: Joe Yoder, Howard Kimbro, Andy Garner, and 

especially to Clay Perrine. 

It truly is not just the cars, it is the people.

I’ve Registered For Parade - Now What? 

By Carey Spreen 

As you probably know by now, back in 2002, Maverick 

Region was selected by the PCA National Parade 

Committee to host the 49th Porsche Parade in 2004. After 

some deliberation, the Maverick Region Parade Committee 

selected the Worthington Hotel in downtown Ft. Worth as the 

Parade headquarters. The Parade will begin on Sunday, July 4, 

and end on Saturday, July 10. 

The last time a Parade was held in Texas (or anywhere near 

Texas) was the San Antonio Parade in 1997, and the last time a 

Parade was held in the DFW area was in 1987, so there are probably 

quite a few Maverick Region members who are planning to 

attend this year that have never attended a Parade. Well, this 

year's event will be a great one to attend: it's in your own back 

yard, so there are no great distances to travel (except maybe if 

you live in Rockwall!), and there will be lots of folks there that 

you already know, including the people running the event! If you 

haven't been to one, consider attending this one--it will be a great 

introduction to the Parade. 

Now, those of you that have already decided to attend, and 

who mailed your registration on the correct date (January 26), 

but have not been to a Parade before, may be wondering: what 

happens now? Do I have to do anything else? If so, when? The 

purpose of this article is to attempt to answer those questions. 

The first thing that happens is that you wait. All of the Parade 

registrations from all over North America have to be delivered by 

US mail to the PCA National Office in Springfield, VA, before 

they can be processed. And since they are processed by postmark 

date, it may take a couple of weeks to make sure that all of the 

registrations with a January 26 postmark have arrived. By the 

way, if you mailed your registration before January 26, it will 

NOT be processed. If you mailed it after January 26, you will 

probably still get in, but in the event that more people have 

registered than there is room for (normally 650 entries), they 

hold a lottery to determine whether you get in or not. For the last 

few years, though, the Parade has not filled up, and everyone who 

has sent in a registration form on or after the registration date has 

been accepted. 

By the way, you may still send in your registration form and 

fees as late as May 31, and if there is still room, you may be 

accepted into the event. After May 31, however, entries will no 

longer be processed. May 31 is also the last day that you may 

cancel your registration and get a 50% refund; you may still 

cancel after that date, but you will not receive any refund. 

So, once all the registrations are in hand at the Executive 

Office, the processing begins. Typically, it takes about 70 

person-hours to enter all the data for 650 entries into several 

computers, after which the information is merged into a single 

central database. 

Four to six weeks after you mailed your registration form, 

you will get a little post card in the mail congratulating you on 

your acceptance to the 49th Porsche Parade. At this point, a little 

shiver of anticipation may traverse your spine; don't worry--this 

is normal. In fact, the more Parades you attend, the more 

pronounced this sensation may become. 

This little card will also advise you to watch for the next 

mailing packet, which contains very important information and 

forms that need to be returned to the Registrar by a specific date. 

Photo by Matt Platts 

For now though, just more waiting. 

Fast-forward another four to six weeks: the second mailing 

arrives. This is a thick envelope, containing many pages of event 

descriptions and forms to return, plus the most important 

document: the Parade Competition Rules book, affectionately 

known as the PCRs. Overall, there is a lot of info in this packet, 

but be sure to read the introductory pages, as they will tell you 

which forms need to be returned and when. The forms that you 

need to fill out and return are normally printed on colored paper 

to make them easy to pick out later after the cat has scattered 

them off the table and onto the floor. 

The information in this mailing will contain detailed 

schedules for each day, telling you at least which part of the day a 

given event will take place, if not the specific time. In addition to 

the schedules, there will be descriptions of each event, including 

the event location, what will be taking place, and what entity is 

sponsoring the event. Sponsors, as you will find out when you get 

to the Parade, are what keep the entry fees relatively low; 

Mimi & Carey Spreen at Tampa Parade 2003 

they subsidize all kinds of stuff that otherwise would make 

participating in a Parade much more expensive. So each event, 

whether it is a competitive one or social one, has the name of a 

sponsor associated with it. The sponsors also kick in a lot (read: 

a LOT) of free goodies, awarded as door prizes, throughout the 

week. In return, they get a lot of face-to-face exposure with some 

of their best customers, namely us. It may seem kind of 

commercial at first, but there is of course never any pressure to 

buy anything or even to pledge your allegiance to any particular 

brand of anything (except maybe Porsche, but you've already 

done that!). To sum up: Sponsors Good, High Entry Fees Bad. 

Again, make sure you read everything in this second mailing 

packet, and be sure to fill out and return the appropriate forms by 

the due date, which is typically mid to late April. These forms 

include registration for the main competitive events, as well as the 

Club Race, Drivers Ed event, golf tournaments, run/walk events, 

tours, childcare, guest nametags, meal choices, and other optional 

fun stuff. If you don't return these forms on time, it makes 

processing your on-site registration (when you arrive at Parade 

HQ) that much more difficult, plus it causes problems for the 

event chair-people to allocate the proper amount of time, 

equipment, workers, and other resources to their event because 

they don't have an accurate count of the number of participants. 

20

So please make sure you return these forms on or before the due 

date noted in the packet--it will make your Parade week that 

much more pleasant. 

A note about guest nametags: Your nametag is your ID badge 

for the week; you cannot get into some events or locations 

without it. If you would like to bring guests (including kids) to 

see the Concours or Autocross, or even get into the Hospitality 

Suite, they will of course not be able to compete, but they will 

need name tags in order to be admitted to the event site. For a 

nominal fee you can order guest name tags that will be waiting 

for you at on-site registration. Note that only the person whose 

name appears on the nametag may pick it up, and identification 

will be required before the nametag is issued. 

One important item is Volunteer Worker Sign-Up. The entry 

fee that you pay would not even begin to cover salaries for the 

number of workers that the Parade requires, so the event depends 

on volunteer workers like you to step forward and donate a 

morning or afternoon or two of your time to help an event run 

smoothly. There is a long list of jobs that need filling, from 

Concours score runners to Autocross corner workers to Rally 

checkpoint workers to Goodie Store attendants; the list goes on 

and on. The job descriptions will include the approximate hours 

that the position is needed, so that you can volunteer for a 

position that does not interfere with your competitive events, 

tech sessions, or just down time. The reward: working two halfday 

shifts gets you admission to the Volunteer Worker Party, 

which is typically held the last day of the Parade, and is filled with 

door prizes and goodies galore, not to mention the proverbial free 

lunch. 

This year’s Volunteer Worker Party will be a real Par-Tay! 

You’ll not want to miss the great food and door prizes, but in 

addition there will be some Country Dancing and a Willie 

Nelson/Dolly Parton look-alike contest. Plan on bringing your 

cowboy hat and boots for this one. 

Also included in this packet is information regarding hotels 

and accommodations. If you plan on staying at home and driving 

to each event, you are welcome to do that, but if this is your first 

Parade you may want to consider splurging and staying at the 

Parade headquarters hotel, the Worthington. It is a great way to 

immerse yourself in all things Porsche-related for a whole week; 

you will meet people that you have only heard about, and see cars 

that you have only read about. Should you decide to stay at the 

Worthington, everything you need to make your reservation is in 

this packet. 

Now to the aforementioned Most Important Document: the 

PCRs. If you are entering any of the Big Four competitive events 

(Concours d'Elegance, Rally, Autocross, or Tech Quiz), you must 

read these rules so as to understand how to classify your car and 

yourself correctly. The Concours and Autocross each have many 

MANY classes to choose from, and determining which class you 

fit into may be a bit daunting, so if you are not familiar with the 

PCRs, don't leave this until the day of the form-return deadline. 

The Parade Competition Rules Committee has had years to 

refine the rules, so most of them are pretty straightforward, but 

there are a lot of them, so be sure to take the time to read them 

before you classify your car and yourself. If you misclassify 

yourself, either accidentally or purposely, and compete in that 

class, it is grounds for disqualification. Just ask any one of s 

everal members of Maverick Region who shall remain nameless 

(but they know who they are)! If you have any specific questions 

not answered in the PCRs, the packet will provide email addresses 

and/or other methods to contact the event chair people. 

So, you have filled out all the necessary forms and returned 

them to the Registrar by the deadline. Now . . . you wait again. It 

is during this time that the Registrar and event chair people plug 

in all the new data that you have given them so that they are ready 

for you when you arrive. If there is a another mailing, be sure to 

also read it thoroughly; they wouldn't send it to you if it wasn't 

important! 

Well, it's now July, and all this waiting has finally paid off. 

The first official day of the Parade is Sunday, July 4, but you can 

do your on-site registration as early as Friday afternoon. When 

you go, remember to bring everything that has been mailed 

to you thus far; you will receive a three-ring binder when you 

register, which is again chock-full of info, but it will not include 

all of the information that was mailed to you. 

When you complete registration, be sure to put your entrant 

numbers on your car (see instructions as to where the numbers 

go--the locations are different for different models!) and get it 

through technical inspection. The tech inspection area will be 

clearly marked, and you don't have to remove all the stuff from 

your car before you get inspected. 

And this is another good way to get immersed in Parade 

week--show up early and just wander around. The Concours 

folks will be out in force, doing last minute cleaning on their 

babies, and you will be amazed at the detail that goes into 

preparing a car for Full Concours category. Showing up early will 

also give you a chance to explore a bit, checking out where and 

when events of interest will be taking place, giving you a chance 

to choose what you want to do and see during the week. 

So be prepared to work a bit, walk a bit, look quite a bit, and 

have a whole lot of fun!

Searching for New Cool in Older Porsches 

by Bill Middleton 

As anyone who has owned and older 911 type Porsche 

knows in any even moderately warm climate, the design of 

the air conditioning system was not something in the 

forefront of priorities with Porsche engineers. For one thing, 

these cars are designed and built at latitudes far above Texas, the 

southern US, and most places that get any form of summer. For 

another, the typical sports car line of thinking is that any item 

that robs horsepower from the engine simply to provide creature 

comforts is an item to be only grudgingly considered. After all, 

the windows roll down, don’t they? 

The result was an attempt at an air conditioning system that, 

on mild days in the Northeast, Midwest, or any latitude much above 

the Mason-Dixon line will perform reasonably well. Anywhere 

south of these idyllic places with mild summers, forget it! 

To begin with, in order to not have to create new space in the 

already legendary framework and body sheet metal of the 911, 

Porsche had to do some very creative locating of components. 

The cooling coil, along with its fan, was too big of an assembly to 

easily locate under the dash or anywhere in the passenger 

compartment, where short duct runs to the vents would require 

it to be. As a result, it wound up in the ‘smugglers box’, a.k.a. the 

early gas heater, location under the trunk deck. The condenser, 

a necessary evil, was not easily locatable in any air stream at the 

front of the car without either reconfiguring the front sheet 

metal (God forbid!) or placing it in a delicate position under the 

belly pan, exposing it to damage. Needing forced air flow at idle 

as well as while in motion, the only choice left was in the engine 

decklid, using the cooling fan for the engine as draw for air through 

the coil. A smaller secondary condenser was also located in some 

editions behind the front valance panel with a pitifully small 

blower forcing whispers of air over it, and in some models inside 

the front fender well instead of behind the front valance. 

With the compressor in a standard location mounted direct 

to the engine, and the balance the components scattered about 

the vehicle like stray puzzle parts, the real challenge began – 

plumbing all this together. With the condenser on a moveable 

panel – the rear decklid – and the balance of the components at 

some distance from others, the length of tubing and fittings 

required to connect all this together bears no small resemblance 

to the transfusion apparatus from a Frankenstein movie. Add to 

all these lengths of hose an o-ring fitting at each connection, and 

the total number of potential leak points increases to equal some 

bad autocross lap times. 

The result of all this was a system consisting of an evaporator 

not much bigger than a ladies shoebox, a condenser located in a 

very compromising position for something that is supposed to 

be rejecting heat, not absorbing it from the hot engine directly 

below it, and over 40 feet of rubber hoses with more fittings than 

the number of candidates in the California recall elections. This is 

supposed to keep us cool in a Texas August? I don’t think so! 

In order to really understand the problems, let’s first look at 

what an air conditioner requires to work well, then look at the 

design – and the resultant issues that need to be overcome to get 

REAL cool from older Porsches. An air conditioning system is 

nothing more than a heat transfer device – it absorbs heat from 

the interior of the car, and disposes of it outside. In its most 

basic terms, it does this by circulating a heat transfer medium – 

the refrigerant – in a closed system consisting of a coil where heat 

is absorbed and a coil where heat is rejected to the atmosphere.

While the full system is much more complicated than this, the 

basic functionality performs in this manner. 

In order to satisfy the performance needs of the basic 

system, you need the following: 

1. Sufficient surface area and air flow over the heat absorbing 

(evaporator) coil to effectively absorb the heat of the car interior 

2. Sufficient surface area and air flow over the heat rejection 

(condensing) coil to effectively dispose of BOTH the heat 

absorbed from the car interior, AND the heat generated by the 

system that circulates the refrigerant (heat of compression). 

3. Sufficient refrigerant in terms of capacity and flow rate to 

effectively and quickly transfer heat from one coil to the other. 

The condenser was placed above the cooling fan under engine decklid 

While Porsche did an excellent job of providing for more 

than sufficient refrigerant flow and capacity – the standard 

compressor capacity equates to about a 3 ton residential air 

conditioning unit – they severely violated the size needs of both 

the heat absorbing and heat rejecting coils. By so doing, it’s a lot 

like putting a lawnmower carburetor on a big block V-8 – lots of 

potential, but highly limited capacity due to critical components 

being significantly undersized. 

Thus begins a long and exhausting search for the “fix” – one 

that took lots of reading, lots of asking questions of various 

suppliers, vendors, other owners, and some mechanical engineer 

friends. The end result, installed last summer, has to date been a 

most satisfactory outcome of this work. 

Following is a summary list of SOME of the options 

currently available. I will discuss the pros/cons of each of them, 

and which I chose, later. Some omitted from the list were not 

omitted because they have no merit – they were simply omitted 

because, for my uses, they did not apply for various reasons. 

1. Add an additional ‘static’ condenser under the belly of the car. 

2. Add an additional blower assisted condenser in the fender well 

3. Add electric cooling fans to the existing condenser 

4. Replace the evaporator coil with a newer, more efficient design 

5. R & R the evaporator fan and hose distribution system 

6. TOTAL system change-out: compressor, evaporator, condenser 

7. Other mechanical capacity improvements – sub coolers, 

capacity regulators, etc. 

22

As each purveyor of these options will tell you, their ‘fix’ 

is the best, does the job, and will “completely” cure the problem. 

Knowing that the problem is systemic and not isolated to only 

one component, I seriously doubted these claims of ‘one 

component’ fixes. While curing the condenser surface area 

problem will indeed resolve the ability of the system to better 

reject heat, what good is that if the evaporator coil and blower 

are still so inefficient they can’t effectively absorb the interior 

heat? Similarly, what good a cooling coil capable of freezing you 

out of your living room if the condenser can’t dispose of the heat 

from a shoebox? Below are summarized the opinions, results of 

queries of others, and reviews given of the above options. 

1. A static condenser may really add to heat rejection capacity, 

but without forced air flow it’s not much good at long idles in 

traffic and, if mounted under the belly pan of the car, becomes 

more of a heat absorber than a heat rejecter on really hot days 

idling in traffic over 140 degree pavement temperatures. Further, 

placing ANY type of tube and fin coil on the belly of the car exposes 

it to damage, potential leaks, dirt that decreases efficiency quite 

quickly, and reduction in ground clearance by nearly an inch. 

2. An auxiliary condenser in the rear fender, like the static 

condenser above, adds a lot to heat rejection, but at certain times 

has the potential of picking up superheated air being exhausted 

from the engine cooling system, and also absorb rather than reject 

heat when at a standstill – remember the heat you can feel rolling 

out of the rear fender wells at idle from a full hot engine? It, too, is 

subject to getting dirty quite quickly and losing efficiency, but is 

more protected than the ‘belly pan’ static condenser and, with an 

auxiliary electric fan, works better at idle – but still has its drawbacks. 

3. Just adding a fan to the existing condenser helped, but still 

the size was too small no matter how much air you pushed over 

it, and adds some heat to the engine since it is increasing the heat 

drawn off the condenser and putting that larger quantity of heated 

air directly down into the engine compartment. 

4. While replacing the evaporator is helpful, by itself it solves 

only part of the puzzle especially on REALLY hot days in traffic. 

5. As with 4. above, this solves only a small part of the problem 

– but as part of a larger overhaul, helps. 

6. A complete system change kit, while having several merits, 

had some drawbacks – first of all, cost – well up into the $2000 

and better range just for all the components. Second, while 

addressing the evaporator sizing issue, it did not (in my opinion) 

effectively address the condenser heat rejection 

capacity issue. 

7. Install a subcooler, auxiliary refrigerant 

exchange device, or other mechanical 

controllers. 

Hands down, something had to be done 

about increasing condenser efficiency, and the 

evaporator had to be changed out and evaporator 

air flow improved. The evaporator change 

and improvements to cooling air path was a 

simple decision – Griffiths offers a complete kit, 

fully ready to install. Check out their website at 

www.griffiths.com for more details. Solving the 

condenser issue was another story – lots of 

options, lots of claims – few facts to go on. I had 

problems with either add-on condenser coil. In 

both cases, it required adding a delicate coil in a 

compromising position relative to potential for 

damage and dirt, and further the install 

positions were not optimal for heat rejection in 

slow or stopped traffic. While the added fan on 

the stock condenser definitely helped, it wasn’t 

enough – I needed something else.

Enter the idea of the sub cooler. In a nutshell, in most auto 

refrigeration systems, there is significant wasted refrigerant 

effort. The example of this is evident in the temperature of the 

returning refrigeration line going back to the compressor – on 

any given day, this line will be cold and sweaty, and may even 

frost over or freeze. That cold, sweaty line is giving up lost 

refrigerant effect to make that line cold and sweaty – thus the 

idea of somehow capturing this lost refrigerant effect. Most auto 

systems are designed with a fair amount of oversize in the 

compressor capacity. The oversizing is usually done to insure the 

compressor can maintain some manner of cooling at lower 

engine speeds. In this case, why not use this lost refrigerant 

effort to make the system more efficient? 

To utilize this lost cooling, it is necessary to pass the 

returning refrigerant containing the remaining cooling effort in 

close proximity to the refrigerant going to the cooling coil from 

the compressor. By utilizing a double walled vessel, a fair 

amount of this ‘extra cooling’ is transferred into the refrigerant 

headed for the cooling coil – and thus this lost cooling effect gets 

put right into the passenger compartment. 

I found this concept not only attractive from an efficiency 

point of view – anything that more efficiently uses something 

already there without heavy modifications is better than 

adding on. Further, there was some significant research, done at 

Texas A & M, to back up the concept of the sub cooler idea. 

For further details, you can view the manufacturers website at 

www.procooler.com 

In the end, as with any performance improvement, small 

additive improvements can mean BIG gains in performance. 

Adding a constant electric fan to the rear condenser (be sure 

to relay it, NOT drive it directly off the compressor clutch 

power wiring!), installing a more efficient evaporator, and most 

significantly installing the sub cooler, dropped discharge air 

temperatures in the range of 35 to 40 degrees with cabin temperatures 

at 95 degrees. Actual passenger compartment air 

temperatures in August heat dropped from only 10 to 15 degrees 

cooler than exterior temperature to well over 25 degrees cooler 

than exterior temperatures. To further document where the 

efficiency was gained I monitored temperatures with calibrated 

thermistors at 12 points along the system during operation, and 

found that over 50% of the efficiency gain was at the sub cooler 

assembly. 

The sub cooler installed in place of stock receiver/drier, in the driver-side front fender well 

23

New Cool - (continued) 

There is a rather active debate going on regarding the need 

of the ‘lost’ cooling effect for keeping the compressor cooled 

down, and claim that the sub cooler is detrimental to compressor 

life. While it is indeed necessary to utilize some refrigerant 

effect to cool the compressor, there is an over abundance of 

refrigerant effect going to waste, and in several temperature 

tests the compressor inlet temperature and compressor body 

temperature after long periods of operation were not found to 

be out of the required temperature specifications or operating 

parameters. In fact, on several occasions, the return line and 

portions of the compressor body were still found to be cool and 

sweaty – just not cold. 

Anyone interested in seeing this installation, discussing this 

further, or receiving a more detailed version of this article, can 

contact me directly via email at wrmiddleton@con-real.com. 

Excellent photos of installations of the Griffiths products are 

available on their website, as are photos of the subcooler 

installation on the Procooler website. Further, Excellence 

magazine did a full two part article in September and October 

of 2003, covering the option of total system exchange with 

all Griffiths products. While expensive, the results are quite 

good. 

As with any refrigeration project, unless you are licensed to 

handle refrigerants and have the necessary training, please have 

someone you trust as your mechanic lined up to assist with 

those areas of this work that require that level of experience 

and equipment. While installing the physical components, 

rerouting the hoses, and installing the condenser fans can all be 

done by most anyone with good basic mechanical skills, having 

the system discharged properly before starting the work, and 

then checking for leaks and evacuating and recharging the 

system, needs to be done by a licensed technician. Both the sub 

cooler, the evaporator, and other components from Griffiths, 

come with excellent installation guidelines and instructions. 

For those watching the pocketbook, my particular route to 

solving this problem wound up costing about $1200. The 

evaporator coil kit was about $600, and came VERY complete. 

The ProCooler (refrigerant subcooler) was $300, and came with 

all needed hoses, fittings, and good instructions. The electric fan 

kit for the stock condenser from PermaKool was about $200 with 

added wires, relay kit, and other miscellaneous parts. I highly 

recommend a good line fan with a STRONG motor and good 

airflow capacity. By the time you add refrigerant, other parts and 

just STUFF needed, it’s hard to do something for much less than 

a grand. I was fortunate – I have the refrigeration background 

and license and tools to do the work, so about $500 got saved. 

The other fixes offered go for anywhere from $500 to well over 

$3000 depending on how cold you want to get, who does the 

work, and how much of the work you can do. 

As of this writing this installation has been functioning 

without fail since last summer, and continued thermal 

recording has indicated no deterioration of performance. 

Pressure testing of the compressor has shown no evident 

deterioration in compressor performance, and analysis of the 

compressor oil has revealed no indication of problems or 

changes indicative of compressor overheating. I fully expect 

that, with proper care and monitoring, this system will 

continue to function without any issue and provide true 

performance in the best Porsche tradition.

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.
