The Inside Track<br />

by Rocky Johnson, Maverick Region President<br />

Ihave owned sports cars all my life, but I never<br />

really participated in any organized events<br />

until I joined the Maverick Region of the<br />

Porsches Club of America. When I first started to<br />

attend socials, autocrosses, time-trials and<br />

Drivers’ Education events, I was impressed with<br />

the organization's well-oiled time schedules and<br />

the "goodies" such as coffee, donuts, tee-shirts, etc.<br />

Frankly, I didn't give it a lot of thought. I just enjoyed the<br />

events and thought that's how everyone must do it. Only later did<br />

I start to appreciate the tremendous amount of work and coordination<br />

that makes all these events appear to be on autopilot and<br />

run so effortlessly.<br />

... the Maverick Region really did have<br />

something special going for it. ...<br />

As I began to attend events organized by other PCA regions<br />

and other marques, the differences became even more apparent.<br />

It became more and more evident that the Maverick Region really<br />

did have something special going for it.<br />

Now, with benefit of hindsight, and a better understanding<br />

of how things really work, it is obvious that we have a great core<br />

of volunteers and a wonderful group of generous sponsors. So<br />

many of the things the casual participants take for granted are the<br />

result of a dedicated bunch of people who not only love Porsches,<br />

but are more than willing to give their time and talents (and lots<br />

of it) to support the club.<br />

Also, no small amount of time and effort goes into nurturing<br />

the relationships with our sponsors. Our sponsors support us in<br />

so many ways: with their advertising in <strong>Slipstream</strong>, cash, discounts,<br />

merchandise, space in their facilities for meetings, tech<br />

inspections and more. They truly provide the club with the<br />

opportunity to conduct events that are second to none.<br />

For all this good stuff to continue, we need our members to<br />

do three things: 1) support the sponsors, 2) thank the volunteers,<br />

and 3) get involved yourself. No doubt, the most effective way to<br />

support our sponsors is by spending your hard earned money<br />

with them; but that's not the only way. Just stop by and say<br />

thanks; make sure they know we truly appreciate their help. Refer<br />

business to them. If you've been around awhile, people will ask<br />

your opinion.<br />

Be sure to acknowledge the people who plan and execute our<br />

many social and driving events. I know they make it look easy, but<br />

believe me, it's not. Everyone likes to be told they are doing a<br />

good job. However, I believe, you will find most of our people are<br />

pretty thick-skinned. If you have suggestions or constructive<br />

criticism, let them know what's on your mind. Or better yet, offer<br />

to help!<br />

That’s the third thing we need to have happen. It is always<br />

healthy for any organizations to have an influx of new people and<br />

new ideas. Yes, it can be a lot of work, but it can be a lot of fun,<br />

Photo Curtesy of Drew Campbell<br />

as well. Maybe you have a spouse, friend, partner, or whatever,<br />

who doesn't care about driving. That doesn't mean they might<br />

not enjoy some other aspect of the club.<br />

Give it a try; you might be surprised how rewarding it can be.<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Michael Wingfield<br />

Park Place Porsche hosted the February <strong>2005</strong><br />

Maverick Region Board meeting on<br />

February 7, <strong>2005</strong>. Thank you to Randall<br />

Johnson and the entire Park Place Porsche staff<br />

for allowing the Maverick Region to hold the<br />

Board Meeting at their showroom.<br />

The February meeting had the following 13<br />

members in attendance: Executive Council: Rocky Johnson, Mark<br />

Gluck, Jeff Atkins, and Michael Wingfield; Board Members:<br />

Lanean Hughes, Bill Miller, Chuck Machala, Wendy Shoffit, Joe<br />

McGlohen, Dennis Chamberlain, Joel Nannis, Matt Platts, and<br />

Bill Dawson.<br />

Rocky Johnson called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM and<br />

began the “round table” discussion.<br />

Lanean Hughes: PCA 50th Anniversary Goodie Store items<br />

are now available on the PCA web site. PCA is promoting two<br />

Treffen tours to Germany, with info on the PCA web site. Hope<br />

Shelter construction documents are in process, with $37,000 collected<br />

of the estimated $180,000-$200,000 rebuilding cost.<br />

However, much of the total cost will include donated time and<br />

materials. MR will host a PCA Club Race at MSR over Memorial<br />

Day weekend in May, and still needs volunteers. All race profits<br />

will go to Hope Shelter. MR needs to submit candidates for the<br />

Parade ’05 National Awards. Ted Kelly from Oklahoma is the new<br />

Zone 5 Rep.<br />

Wendy Shoffit: AX101 school accepted 26 applications, is sold<br />

out and has a waiting list. The Ladies’ AX school has room for<br />

entrants and needs more volunteers. AX102 will accept 32<br />

applications making it sold out with a waiting list. TT103 will<br />

accept 26 applications and has room for 2 more. Each event needs<br />

more volunteer workers who will receive a FREE lunch<br />

for helping (Who said there was no free lunch?). Requests more<br />

articles from the membership for <strong>Slipstream</strong>. <strong>Slipstream</strong> article<br />

submission deadline is the 15th of the month prior to publication.<br />

The Passing of a Friend<br />

The Porsche club lost a fine man - Bob Ande. He was 64 and is<br />

survived by his sister, Judy Masotti of 2114 Bellcrest Ct. Royal Palm<br />

Beach Fl 33411. Bob drove a 1975 911 S called Jellybean. He had<br />

returned to the Maverick Region from Massachusetts were he had<br />

spent 6 years before retiring. He is now autocrossing and DE’ing<br />

in the sky. Our sympathy goes out to his sister and her husband,<br />

Lou and all the rest of his friends who will miss him.<br />

Joe McGlohen: Ordered AX radios and expects delivery<br />

tomorrow. Located a Pelican plastic case to store the 12 AX<br />

radios. Of the original $800 expense approval, has spent $485<br />

and can get a $15 rebate on each pair of radios ordered. Some DE<br />

radios need service with one bad radio and three bad batteries.<br />

Makes a motion requesting $600 to replace the failed DE radio<br />

components. Motion seconded and carried unanimously. SCCA<br />

will hold a corner worker school (Crash & Burn) at Texas World<br />

Speedway. Makes motion for $250 to help support the school.<br />

Motion seconded and carried. MR will rent the DE radios and<br />

flags to the BMWCCA for use at the BMW DE at MSR, with a<br />

rental fee of $350 for the weekend.<br />

Mark Gluck: Event insurance needs listed and ready to submit.<br />

AX waiver forms given to Wendy and DE waiver forms given to<br />

Michael. Suggests investigating an automatic email program to<br />

notify members of selected events. Will discuss with Steve Boyd<br />

to see if the web site can host subscriptions.<br />

Dennis Chamberlain: Has the event ads ready to go for the<br />

next issue of <strong>Slipstream</strong>. Posters for the Happy Hour (HH) events<br />

cost about $5.50 each, and will begin submitting receipts to the club<br />

to cover those costs. SeaGrill will host the next Happy Hour on<br />

2/17. The HH turnout at Saltgrass was low due to conflict with the<br />

new ’05 Boxster party held at Boardwalk Porsche. Continues to send<br />

email notices of upcoming HH events to new members (members<br />

less than six months). Unfortunately, folks are “walking checks” at<br />

the HH events. December HH had three folks walk dinner checks.<br />

The earlier D&B HH had 26 RSVP attendees, but 51 people showed<br />

up. The walked checks totaled $250. Reminds the membership that<br />

each HH attendee is responsible for own check!<br />

Michael Wingfield: February DE at MSR sold out and has a<br />

waiting list. The application for the May DE held in conjunction<br />

with the Club Race will appear on the MR website and <strong>Slipstream</strong><br />

shortly. Registration opens immediately for the May DE.<br />

Jeff Atkins: Has received more information from Bob Knight<br />

(who stopped by briefly before the meeting) and is ready to close<br />

the Bank of America account.<br />

Joel Nannis: National Membership list still has problems<br />

delivering membership information to the regions.<br />

Bill Dawson: February MSR DE hosted by Ruf Auto Centre<br />

will have Mr. Alois Ruf in attendance.<br />

Rocky Johnson: Park Place Porsche will sponsor the April 3<br />

AX held at Texas Motor Speedway. Would like to see some form of<br />

DE awards to join the AX/TT awards presented at Founder’s Day.<br />

The February meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM.<br />

Future Board Meetings<br />

Rocky Johnson will host the <strong>March</strong> Board meeting at his home<br />

on Monday, <strong>March</strong> 7, <strong>2005</strong>. Fifth Gear in Lewisville will host<br />

the April Board meeting, and Boardwalk Porsche in Plano will<br />

host the May Board meeting.


Happy Hour at Saltgrass Steakhouse<br />

by Dennis Chamberlain<br />

Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Monda<br />

Degan and Mike Lockas<br />

Our timing for the January 20<br />

Happy Hour wasn’t the best,<br />

since Boardwalk Porsche was<br />

having its unveiling party for the <strong>2005</strong><br />

Boxster the same night. However,<br />

ourturnout was twenty-eight, which<br />

under the circumstances, was<br />

respectable enough.<br />

Looking outward to <strong>March</strong>, April<br />

and May, we’ve got Cantina Laredo on<br />

<strong>March</strong> 17, the Bavarian Grill in Plano<br />

on April 21, and Joe T. Garcia’s in Ft.<br />

Worth on May 19. Hope to see you at<br />

one or all of those spots!<br />

Passion and Performance<br />

by Mike Holloway, <strong>Slipstream</strong> Managing Editor<br />

Porsche owners typically have a unique<br />

outlook on life. Often, they are people who<br />

demonstrate both performance and passion,<br />

achieving high levels of excellence through their<br />

unique outlook, internal motivation, life experiences,<br />

and personal philosophy. The Porsche<br />

Club of America has been a great place to meet<br />

new and interesting people. <strong>Slipstream</strong>’s Passion<br />

and Performance segment offers a chance to do just that. Please<br />

meet 2004 Mr. New Zealand Dave Wong.<br />

Dave was born in Palmerston North, 2 hours north of<br />

New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. Most people think the NZ<br />

capital is Auckland! Dave’s folks owned a working produce farm,<br />

growing lettuce, cabbage, celery, cauliflower and other green leaf<br />

type crops for the local supermarkets and green grocers. Pretty<br />

tough work 24/7 as they didn't employ any additional labor - it<br />

was a real "family" business with four sons and daughter pitching<br />

in after school and on weekends. With all those veggies and hard<br />

work, it’s no wonder he became Mr. New Zealand!<br />

MH: Dave, whats your life’s philosophy and passion?<br />

DW: Well, I have a pretty simple philosophy regarding work<br />

and life; I'm passionate about both because I enjoy what I do,<br />

whether it's working out in the gym or working for my company.<br />

My job is an Asia/Pacific marketing manager for an industrial<br />

lubricants company. I look after 8 countries: Australia, New<br />

Zealand, Japan, China, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, and the<br />

Philippines. Then there’s the Porsche.<br />

MH: That’s a heck of a car. Can you tell me about it?<br />

DW: It’s a 1998 Model 996, a 3.4 liter engine, 6 speed<br />

manual gearbox, exhaust factory "TUBI" system, factory fitted<br />

"Aero Kit" hence the coffee table like rear wing, 18" wheels with<br />

very wide 285 tires, a black exterior with "Havana" leather trim. I<br />

tell you, My most overwhelming impression of Porsche is not the<br />

speed but the engineering. I think Porsche is the finest example<br />

of engineering available in a production automobile. Everything<br />

about a Porsche fits, runs and feels fantastic.<br />

MH: Powerful car for a powerful guy?<br />

How Many of You Shift With Your Left Hand?<br />

996 Six Speed - Powerful Car for a Powerful Guy!<br />

DW: It doesn’t happen over night.<br />

MH: How much is work and how much is genetics and how<br />

much is hard work? Could anyone get huge?<br />

DW: You have to start with the basic building blocks, like<br />

what Porsche does - a strong frame, hearty engine, perfectly<br />

engineered. Then you have to perfect it. That’s what the engineers<br />

at Porsche are all about. That is what I do in my workouts and my<br />

diet. I don’t believe in taking the easy road. Hard work is its own<br />

reward.<br />

MH: Do you use steroids? (Don’t hit me!)<br />

DW: Ha! Nope, never have. First off they are pretty bad for<br />

you and secondly I am more of a stock guy. No modifications<br />

here, just what the factory installed.<br />

MH: How did you get started<br />

in bodybuilding?<br />

DW: When I was at university<br />

I injured my knee playing basketball.<br />

During recovery, my physio<br />

set a program which included<br />

weight sessions to strengthen<br />

ligaments and muscle tissue<br />

around my knees. After the rehab<br />

program finished I continued to<br />

go to the gym and spent less time<br />

on the basketball court. During a<br />

gym visit I met NABBA NZ<br />

president Jim Pitt who got me<br />

All 3 of Dave at the ProAm<br />

interested in competing. The rest<br />

is history.<br />

MH: So whats next? Mr. Universe maybe?<br />

DW: I’m not sure. I may temper it down some. My wife gave<br />

birth to our first, a boy. I want to spend time with them but<br />

continue to stay in shape. I think I will need all my strength to<br />

keep up with him.<br />

MH: The little guy will wear you out! Good Luck!<br />

Here are a few of Daves acomplishments:<br />

1st Place in the Masters 2003 NABBA NZ Nationals,<br />

4th Place in the Open Men's World 2003 NABBA Pro-Am,<br />

1st Place in the Masters 2002 NABBA Manawatu Regional.<br />

What I Learned at the Rolex 24<br />

by John Sandusky<br />

What’s it like to race for 24 hours? That’s a good question. A more<br />

telling question, though, is: What’s it like to crew for a 24 hour<br />

race? Drivers only drive for part of the race, and sleep/rest when<br />

they’re out of the car. Crew members are on duty for the whole 24 hours.<br />

This adventure started back in October, when my brother, Pat,<br />

and I decided to attend the Rolex 24 at Daytona, scheduled for Feb 5-6. We<br />

booked our flights, did our trip planning, and were all set to go. Then, in<br />

November, The Racer’s Group announced they were expanding their team<br />

for the <strong>2005</strong> event, from 3 cars to 8:<br />

(2) - <strong>2005</strong> Riley Pontiac DP, #66, 67<br />

(3) - <strong>2005</strong> 911 GT3 Cups, #16, 65, 63<br />

(2) - 2004 911 GT3 Cups, #62, 64<br />

(1) - 2002 911 GT3 Cup, #61<br />

• Don’t complain when Super Unleaded hits $1.99 a gallon at the local<br />

mega-station. Sunoco race gas there was $4.50 a gallon. I can’t tell you how<br />

many times I made the trip with twin 55-gallon drums and signed (for the<br />

team) for a bill of $500 or more.<br />

• Think OJT. You’d better bring with you some experience doing races<br />

or you could get yourself into trouble. Jim found out he would be refueling<br />

cars during the race only when he got there. He then had to figure out<br />

how to do it and what the rules were.<br />

I contacted Kevin Buckler, knowing he was a guy who got started<br />

in PCA racing, to see if they needed any crew help for the race. They<br />

did and one thing led to another. Both my brother and I were on as crew<br />

members. Fellow Maverick member, Jim Buckley, also signed on to help<br />

crew for the team, as well.<br />

There were 5 crew teams. There was one team for each DP car,<br />

and then 3 GT teams each covering a pair of cars (65/16, 62/63, 61/64). I<br />

got assigned to the 65 and 16 cars as the over-the-wall fire bottle operator<br />

(for the race). My brother was the fuel shag for the same cars. Jim Buckley<br />

got assigned as the fueler for the 62 and 63 cars.<br />

It certainly was an adventure, and to recap it here would take<br />

more pages than our editor would allow. But I can give you a feel for it….<br />

These are the things I learned at the Rolex 24:<br />

• It’s a lot of work. You work before practice, during practice, after<br />

practice. You haul equipment, tires, fuel, spares…everything up to the pits.<br />

Then you haul it back. And repeat. And hurry, too.<br />

• It takes a lot of people. We were understaffed for the teams and<br />

everyone did multiple jobs. You need to plan to be flexible, and get the job<br />

done when needed. You might only see 6-8 people when a car comes in,<br />

but there are at least that many on the crew working behind the scenes. We<br />

could have used a lot more.<br />

• Organization and communications are vital and play a big role in<br />

the outcome of the race.<br />

Jim Buckley - Mid-race Refueling<br />

• Refueling a car is harder than it looks. I refueled the cars during<br />

practice and in the garages with a 5-gallon jug with a dry-break fitting on<br />

it. Jim used an overhead refueling rig during the race with twin dry-break<br />

fittings. It takes some effort to keep the fitting connected to the fuel tank<br />

to keep the fuel going for the required 45 seconds.<br />

• It takes me maybe 30 minutes to change the brake pads on my car.<br />

It would probably take the crew about 3 minutes to change the pads on the<br />

race car during the race. So what do they do? They take a whole assembly<br />

– new pads, new brake rotor, new 6 piston brake caliper – as a unit, and put<br />

that on the car when it needs a pad change. The caliper has a quick disconnect<br />

fitting for the brake line.<br />

The brake line and caliper have fresh fluid. Unbolt the old caliper,<br />

yank it off, put the new one on, bolt it on and attach the line. No bleeding<br />

is necessary. It took about 60 seconds. Why is that important? No, not<br />

because we’re gaining vital track position. It’s because we did this at the 15<br />

hour mark in the race – 3 AM. The less time we spent working on the car<br />

meant we could go back to napping that much longer until the next pit<br />

stop an hour later.<br />

John (right) napping between pit stops.<br />

• Don’t ever touch the brake parts when they come off the car. One<br />

experienced crew guy “forgot” and picked up the rotor after the change (at<br />

3 AM) with just regular gloves on and burned his hand quite nicely. He<br />

had ice on it for 2 hours.<br />

• Speaking of napping, you need more chairs than you think. The few<br />

chairs that were there were constantly taken by spectators or friends, and the<br />

crew was left standing a lot of times, including eating. You could find a tire<br />

to sit on once in a while. It didn’t get a whole lot better in the wee hours of<br />

the morning, either. When you’re that tired, you can nap when the cars are<br />

roaring by. And you can wake up in a snap when it’s time to go.<br />

Photo Courtesy of John Sandusky<br />

• Golf car keys are like gold.<br />

• Need new tires? Tires lasted one stint on the track and were<br />

replaced. During the race, they were replaced every pit stop. Hoosier<br />

brought like 12,000 tires to the event. And they probably used them all.<br />

The team had 6 sets of brand new out-of-the-box, blue anodized Fikse<br />

wheels for each car.<br />

• The Maverick Region knows hospitality.<br />

• And the biggest? The #61 car, the 2002 model, was the highest finishing<br />

car of the 8 entered, finishing 12th overall and 3rd in GT.<br />

What a race! What a weekend! What an experience! It was a memorable<br />

event and a lot of fun, that’s for sure.<br />

When is the race in 2006, anyway?<br />

Crew member finding his space for a bite to eat<br />

• It gets cold at Daytona at night. Dress accordingly.<br />

• The view from pit lane is pretty awesome.<br />

• Don’t plan on seeing much of the rest of the race. You see the cars<br />

from one end of pit lane to the other. The teams do, though, have televisions<br />

in the pits covering the timing system and the feeds from SpeedTV<br />

and The Weather Channel. So, you know what’s going on.<br />

Mazda 3: First Autocross Racing Day in the Life of a Grocery-Getter<br />

My husband, Jeremy, and I have been married for three<br />

months, and for as long as I have known him, he’s been an<br />

avid autocross racer. I have been to all of his races, watching<br />

him get some good runs, and obviously some bad ones as well. But<br />

through it all, he has never pressured me to take a class or become a<br />

racer like him. Before he came along, I already wanted to race – drag<br />

race, that is. I never even heard of autocross racing until I met Jeremy.<br />

Even though I felt like I was in a jerky roller-coaster ride when I was a<br />

passenger during one of his runs, nevertheless, I was suckered in<br />

immediately. Of course, since I started to show my interest in<br />

autocross, he has never stopped asking if I wanted to compete sometime<br />

during the season. I always gave him the same response, “I want<br />

to take the class first.”<br />

We started our class roughly about 8:30 a.m. in what felt like<br />

freezing temperatures. I was part of the second group of cars that<br />

would begin the morning exercises learning slaloms. From what I<br />

knew walking the courses with my husband in past events, I figured<br />

that this would be the most challenging for me. I kept running in my<br />

mind how I felt like I was going to die whenever I rode with Jeremy. I<br />

always thought that the car would flip over or something dramatic like<br />

that. He always assured me that it would never happen. But I’m cynic,<br />

and I had my worries.<br />

...Men will naturally think that we could<br />

never beat their times . . .<br />

My professor for the day was Wendy Shoffit, who I learned later<br />

held the Top Ladies title of the Maverick Region of the PCA, so Jeremy<br />

and I knew that I was in good hands. As Wendy took control of my car<br />

during the first runs of the slaloms, I kept wondering how she made it<br />

seem so easy. When it was my turn to try them, I just ran all of<br />

Wendy’s advice in my head over and over again. My first time wasn’t<br />

bad. It wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t bad. As I continued to work Lava<br />

in and out of the cones, I became more confident, more knowing of<br />

what I was actually doing.<br />

Of course, like everything else, you’ll have your very bad moments.<br />

I clipped some cones here and there. But worse of all, during one of my<br />

runs through the decreasing slalom, I lost control of my car, my hands<br />

were all over the place, and I actually ran over and carried a cone. Yes, I<br />

did it! I figured I had to do it once, and today is better then any.<br />

Honestly, I think I was the only one who did that the entire day.<br />

This past Saturday, February 19, I took my first Ladies Only<br />

Autocross 101 Class with the Porsche Club of America at Pennington<br />

Field in Bedford. I have to admit, I was very intimidated and nervous<br />

when we first drove up in the parking lot. Not that there were a lot of<br />

ladies taking the class, but because I didn’t drive up in a Porsche. My<br />

baby is a 2004 lava orange Mazda 3 hatchback. Not even a year old,<br />

and the car has already seen its share of rides back and forth to<br />

Jeremy’s hometown in Little Rock. But, this will be the first time it will<br />

be tested to see if it’s got any potential of racing. Almost instantly,<br />

“Lava,” as my husband and I have non-creatively named it, became the<br />

odd man out. I wasn’t too upset about it. After all, it is bigger than the<br />

Porsches that were there that morning. Regardless, I kept my nerves in<br />

check and reminded myself,“this is not a competition - it’s just a class,”<br />

and either I’ll totally like, or I’ll absolutely hate it. Either way, I was<br />

about to find out…<br />

After that episode, I told Wendy that I’m two types of people in situations<br />

like this. One, I’m a perfectionist – I have to keep doing something<br />

over and over again till I am content with myself. Two, whenever<br />

I get myself in a predicament, like eating up cone, I will become overly<br />

cautious after that. And I was. I started to drive slowly again until I<br />

gained enough confidence to accelerate a little bit. As I got better at the<br />

slaloms, I started to realize that this exercise was my favorite so far, which<br />

was a surprise to Wendy because she stated that most people can’t stand<br />

this part of a course. That single reason alone may become an advantage<br />

to me later.<br />

Our second set of exercises<br />

included practicing threshold breaking<br />

and the skid pads. I didn’t mind so<br />

much the breaking exercises. That was<br />

actually cool for me since I always<br />

wanted to drag race. Although the<br />

length of the run was shorter than a<br />

quarter mile drag strip, it still felt good Jordyn Lessenberry

to put the pedal to the metal. I don’t get to do any of this out in the real<br />

world, so it’s refreshing to know that I “have” to do it now. We did that<br />

activity for about 30 minutes or so.<br />

Next up – the skip pads! Yup, I already knew earlier that morning<br />

that this would be my biggest fear. It didn’t help that everyone kept talking<br />

about spinning out and that we wouldn’t stop until we all did it. I<br />

was envisioning in my mind flipping over again. Sure enough, going<br />

around in circles over and over again was pretty scary, not to mention<br />

sickening to my stomach. In the middle of the one hour exercise, I had<br />

to ask Wendy if we could stop awhile just so that I could catch my breath.<br />

As soon as I stepped out of the car, I felt like I was about to hurl. I never<br />

felt more girly that day than at that very moment. But surprisingly<br />

enough, I didn’t blow chunks, and I recovered pretty quickly. I pulled<br />

myself together and requested to Wendy that I try again.<br />

I was upset with myself that I couldn’t complete the exercise with<br />

contentment. We had enough time to do a couple more runs. Those<br />

times around, I felt better, and it helped that in the back of my mind I<br />

knew that I didn’t want to fail at this, especially since Wendy had told me<br />

earlier that this exercise was the easiest and most fun for everyone else.<br />

After everyone had completed their runs, we were given about 30<br />

more minutes to continue practicing the other exercises if we wanted to.<br />

I automatically told Wendy I just HAD to do the slaloms again. Earlier<br />

that morning when we had first started driving through the slaloms, I<br />

noticed that there was a man at the end of the cones who kept putting<br />

his arms up, about two to three feet apart, as if to tell me “touchdown.”<br />

Wendy later explained to me that he was actually telling all of us how far<br />

apart we were from the cones. Knowing that and realizing that as I got<br />

better with the exercise, his arms got closer and closer. It felt good that<br />

I improved each time.<br />

After we broke for lunch, we all gathered back together for the afternoon<br />

exercises – learning to walk, work, and actually run the course. I<br />

was really psyched about it! I am so glad that the PCA was organized<br />

Karen Olcha attacking the AX course with Rocky Johnson along for a ride.<br />

enough to have drawings of the course. I don’t know about everyone<br />

else, but having a photo of the course on paper and walking it at the<br />

same time really made me see the bigger picture and helped me focus<br />

more on what’s ahead as opposed to what’s right in front of me. We were<br />

allotted 12 runs on Saturday. Like anything else, you start out bad, get<br />

really good, and have your random ups and downs in between and<br />

throughout. Wendy never failed to remind me that I shouldn’t compare<br />

my car to others. I knew what she meant – not all cars are the same,<br />

especially if you compare my Mazda 3 with a Porsche Boxster – but it<br />

never hurts to try to reach their times. And I had my first moment of<br />

bliss when I ran a 52.593! It felt good considering we all started out with<br />

the same experience and some of the Porsches were running about the<br />

same time or just a second faster. Not bad for a “family-grocery-getting”<br />

box car that was by first impression named “The Station Wagon.”<br />

I had so much fun that day, and I have yet to find one person who<br />

I have not expressed my love for the race. I know a lot of ladies, including<br />

my own friends and co-workers who either just don’t see the point<br />

in it or don’t see themselves as racers. But, you know what, even if they<br />

do this for one day, I guarantee that if they do not choose on their own<br />

to compete this year, that at the very least they will have fun. Men will<br />

naturally think that we could never beat their times. Just knowing that<br />

should be reason enough to see if we can. Just know this - every woman<br />

out there has a “testosterone-driven urge” inside of them that is just<br />

waiting to get out. Autocross racing is just one of the many ways we can<br />

combine our gracefulness and mean streak together. Besides, what better<br />

way to show up some of the guys, get your aggression out from the<br />

stress and weary of every day work and family life, and at the same<br />

time get your “a*$-kicking-adrenaline-pumping-girl-power-spirit”<br />

out, and maybe win some runs here and there?! I can’t imagine a better<br />

day than that!<br />

Welcome New Members!<br />

You have joined one of the best PCA Chapters in the country! Some clubs focus on social events,<br />

while others on Concours shows. The Maverick Region is a club that focuses on providing its members<br />

with the tools needed to have the ultimate driving experience. You will notice that the Maverick Region<br />

has many time trials, autocrosses, and DE events. This has been the spirit of the Region for some time. It’s<br />

all about “hustling the car!”<br />

Make sure you take full advantage of the DE’s (Drivers Education Classes - definitely not the same<br />

as the course you took when you were 16!). The Maverick Region has some of the finest instructors in the<br />

country. If racing doesn’t interest you, try the tours, rallies, happy hours, lunches or supporting the Hope<br />

Shelter. If you have an interest in writing, feel free to submit an article on anything related to Porsche. Send<br />

your ideas to editor@mavpca.org. We would love to hear from you.<br />
