The Inside Track<br />

by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President<br />

At the June Board meeting it was decided<br />

that the Executive Council should review<br />

the Bylaws and make recommendations for<br />

updating as deemed appropriate. A number of<br />

changes are being recommended, with many<br />

falling into the category of "dotting I's and<br />

crossing T's. However, there are also some more<br />

significant changes being proposed. We are<br />

recommending that:<br />

The definition of a quorum be broadened to ensure adequate<br />

representation be in attendance when club business is being<br />

conducted.<br />

Financial reporting requirements be amended.<br />

Standing Committees list be updated to more accurately<br />

reflect current club activities, with each Chairperson being<br />

required to submit an annual budget. Once approved the<br />

Chairperson will be able to conduct their business without the<br />

need for further board approvals.<br />

Realizing it is improbable to anticipate all potential expenditures,<br />

we are asking that the President be authorized to approve up<br />

to $500.00 for expenses outside of normally budgeted and<br />

approved expenses, without Board approval. We anticipate this<br />

would be the rare exception, not the norm.<br />

All the proposed changes are posted on our website and can<br />

be reviewed along with the existing Bylaws. Assuming proper<br />

notification, we hope to vote on these at Founders Day.<br />

We realize that other changes may be required from time to<br />

time. In fact, we plan to appoint a special committee to evaluate<br />

the issues regarding online special board meetings and voting. If<br />

you are interested in serving on this committee please contact me.<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Michael Wingfield<br />

The October <strong>2005</strong> Maverick Region Board meeting<br />

was held at Hackberry Creek Country Club<br />

on October 4, <strong>2005</strong>. The meeting had the following<br />

19 members in attendance: Executive Council<br />

–Rocky Johnson, Mark Gluck, Jeff Atkins, Michael<br />

Wingfield; Board Members – Mike Brodigan, Lanean<br />

Hughes, Chuck Machala, Bill Miller, Charlie Davis,Teri<br />

Davis, Ed Gross, Tracey Gross, Wendy Shoffit, Joel<br />

Nannis, Dennis Chamberlain, Joe McGlohen; Other<br />

Members –Marie Wingfield, Albert Sansores, Clint Blackman. Rocky<br />

called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM, and began the ‘round table discussion.<br />

RJ: Would like a broader range of awards presented at Founder’s<br />

Day and is open to suggestions. For example, a 500 Mile/5 Podium Club<br />

Race award for local racers participating in Races within 500 miles of the<br />

metroplex, and obtaining 5 or more podium finishes. Would like help<br />

naming the Club Racing awards. AX/TT will present the same awards as<br />

years past. Would like Rally awards, and TD says she will have two <strong>2005</strong><br />

Rally Season awards. RJ says Andy Miller will have a Tour award called the<br />

“Wing Man Award” for a loyal tour participant. The DE program will<br />

present a Free DE entry to a <strong>2005</strong> DE season participant by drawing a<br />

name a hat. Each participant will get an entry into the drawing for each<br />

paid entry accepted into a DE event. DE Instructors will also have a name<br />

drawn from a hat for a gift certificate. Instructors will get an entry into<br />

the drawing for each DE event worked. Winners of the DE drawings need<br />

not be present at Founder’s Day to receive their award. JN says<br />

Membership will have certificates of recognition for 20-year members.<br />

MG: Oct. events are insured and Nov. events will get insurance soon.<br />

JA: We have money.<br />

MB: 15 advertisers renewed ads in <strong>Slipstream</strong> and 9 remain outstanding.<br />

5 opted for links on the Maverick web page.<br />

MW: September DE event was oversubscribed in the Green and<br />

Blue groups, but had a few spots open in the Yellow and White groups.<br />

With 98 entrants, the event did not quite sell out, even though we had to<br />

turn away some Green group entrants. The September ’05 DE was the<br />

first DE to not sell out since the DE program began in 1999. The October<br />

DE still has openings in all groups, with 90 entrants to date. Executive<br />

Council continues to work on the Bylaws revision and will have something<br />

to present to the membership in <strong>November</strong>.<br />

LH: 23 Mavericks participated in the Club Race at Hallett, including<br />

two Rookie Candidates – John Gladwill & Gerry Krupp. Mavericks Mike<br />

& Marie Stafford were selected as one of the 3 candidates to win a 2006<br />

Porsche 911 Club Coupe in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of PCA.<br />

They attended the ALMS race at Road Atlanta where the drawing was<br />

held. Unfortunately, they did not win the limited edition car (only 50<br />

produced), but watch <strong>Slipstream</strong> for their article on their experience. At<br />

the ’06 Parade, Region of the Year nominees no longer need to provide a<br />

regional scrapbook. Maverick has been lax in maintaining a regional<br />

scrapbook, which has not been updated in two years. We need to maintain<br />

a scrapbook to preserve the region history. See the ad asking for volunteers<br />

to take over the region scrapbook. Founder’s Day will have scrapbooks<br />

on display. New Hope Shelter has walls, floors, windows, and the<br />

roof will be completed this week. In 4-6 weeks, painting and clean-up<br />

crews will be needed, as well as volunteers. No ETA on a move-in date.<br />

Pier-1 Imports will donate some furniture to the new shelter.<br />

CM: Charity AX will be this weekend (10/9) at TMS, to benefit<br />

Hope Shelter. Autobahn Motorcars will sponsor the Charity AX. WS<br />

interjects that the Charity AX currently has 20 entrants. Final AX of the<br />

season will be at Mineral Wells 10/16. Bought two Icom radios with<br />

extended warranties for $450 and used for testing at the Sept. DE. The<br />

radios worked well and will order eight more radios, as well as a 6-way<br />

charger. Total cost of radios, chargers, and extended warranty is $2,700,<br />

which is $300 below the $3,000 allocated in June.<br />

BM: Needs a propane tank for the street sweeper used at Mineral<br />

Wells. Makes a motion for $2,000 to buy AX/TT trophies. JM seconds.<br />

Motion carries. Next AX school will be Feb. 2006.<br />

CD: Will rebuild the carburetors during the winter. Exhaust manifold<br />

not repaired this year, but truck passed inspection for the year.<br />

TD: Rally school will be scheduled for Jan. 21 or 22, 2006 depending<br />

on calendar. A rally will occur Feb. 18 or 19, 2006. Plans to hold 3 or<br />

4 rally events in ’06. JM has a rally school curriculum that he will share.<br />

EG: Steve Boyd is still working on the on-line Goodie Store. Bob &<br />

Clara Lewis are working on plans for the Holiday Party (12/10). Planning<br />

a Wine Tasking social at Tony’s Wine Warehouse for Feb. 2006. RSVP will<br />

be required for the wine tasting, with a max. of 40 participants allowed.<br />

New Member Party tentatively scheduled for 1/14 at TMS Club House.<br />

TG: Goodie Store now has helmet bags, which are good sellers.<br />

Goodie Store has sold ~$550 in merchandise. Surplus shirts destined for<br />

hurricane relief victims via the Salvation Army last month will go to the<br />

Hope Shelter this month. Salvation Army did not want the shirts.<br />

WS: Oct. <strong>Slipstream</strong> is at the mail house. Printing held up waiting<br />

for the Post Office notice. Has new upgrade of software, which should<br />

help the process and is current with Ussery Printing. Looking for<br />

September DE article. Zims Autotechnik will hold a Swap Meet 11/5.<br />

Presented invitation kits to Founder’s Day, that will be delivered to sponsors.<br />

RJ makes the motion that the kits include two tickets to Founder’s<br />

Day rather than one. TG seconds. Motion carries. Founder’s Day photographs<br />

will be upgraded over the Polaroid photos of years past. Proposes<br />

that the Editor be given free entry into all region events during the year<br />

to encourage Editor participation. Topic was tabled until the next meeting<br />

to allow other committees to discuss.<br />

JN: Currently receiving membership list via email. This will allow<br />

him to once again contact the 40-50 persons per month that do not<br />

renew their PCA membership.<br />

DC: Happy Hour (HH) at Monica’s was a big success with ~40 in<br />

attendance. October HH is 10/20 at Joe T. Garcias in Ft. Worth – bring<br />

cash since Joe T’s does not accept credit. <strong>November</strong> (11/17) HH at<br />

Razzoo’s Cajun Café in Irving.<br />

AS: Asks if Hackberry will be the permanent location for Board<br />

Meetings. RJ replies that it will be the location for the remaining ’05<br />

meetings. AS asks why the Sept. DE did not sell out. Possible reasons<br />

include the economy, gas prices, competition, and loss of “novelty.”<br />

Events have been oversubscribed by novice & beginner groups, but many<br />

of those persons entered out of curiosity. Not all novice & beginner<br />

entrants decide to stay involved with this type of driving activity.<br />

CB: Presented some sample beverage containers the Goodie Store<br />

might consider stocking.Assured by RJ that Andy Miller (Tours) will help<br />

CB develop the “Sunday Drive” event. The “Sunday Drive” event will be<br />

short drives beginning on a Sunday afternoon, and end by dinner.<br />

Presented an “Ugly Sticker”petition to have the current Texas registration<br />

sticker redesigned.<br />

JM: The Mini (Cooper) Club is looking for rally support. JM will<br />

help institute the Mini Club rally program and Maverick members are<br />

invited to participate.<br />

RJ: The “Individual Support Policy” became divisive and emotional.<br />

Proposes that the policy die without further board action – Board<br />

agrees. Asks how can we, the Board, better serve the membership? For<br />

example, how should we treat surplus funds? Proposes that in lieu of a<br />

published agenda, we publish any exceptional expense proposals a month<br />

prior to discussion at a board meeting to allow the membership to better<br />

voice concerns.<br />

Hackberry Creek Country Club will host the remaining <strong>2005</strong> Board<br />

Meetings. Attendees must RSVP for the meetings in order for the region<br />

to obtain the proper size room for the meeting. The next meeting will be<br />

Tuesday, 11/1. The meeting adjourned at 9:14 PM.<br />

Happy Hour at Monica’s<br />

by Dennis Chamberlain<br />

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

Degan and Mike Lockas<br />

This was our first happy hour at<br />

Monica’s in Addison, although<br />

in previous years we have<br />

ventured to the Oak Lawn area for<br />

Monica’s upscale (and more expensive)<br />

Ciudad Restaurant. We had<br />

about forty for the happy hour, and<br />

about thirty-five stayed for dinner.<br />

Attendees that were either recent members or members that<br />

we haven’t seen in a while included Bernadette and Gilbert<br />

Delgado, Dean Harden and his daughter Leigh Ann, Jay Walker<br />

and Ed Repnicki, and Doug Molny with his new bride Melinda.<br />

Monica’s was a good place for us because it was spacious and<br />

(especially) inexpensive. It turns out that Thursday night is their<br />

night for special prices on enchiladas, and they always have happy<br />

hour prices for margaritas. How about an enchilada dinner and<br />

two margaritas for under ten dollars? Needless to say, we’ll be<br />

going back there.<br />

For our <strong>November</strong> 17 happy hour we’ll be trying out a new<br />

place – Razzoo’s Cajun restaurant in Irving. It’s on the north side<br />

of LBJ (635) just west of MacArthur. Think of it as a celebration<br />

for New Orleans getting back on its feet. Hope to see you there.<br />

From The Driver’s Seat<br />

by Wendy Shoffit, <strong>Slipstream</strong> Managing Editor<br />

Where do you go for advice on how to repair<br />

the battery problem you’re having on<br />

your 1984 911 Targa? Who do you ask<br />

when you’re looking for a trustworthy body shop to<br />

do a good job fixing your hail dent or minor dings?<br />

Where do you look to find out who you should buy<br />

your new Cayman from? Who can you ask about<br />

what an AX, TT, or a DE is and when the next one will be coming?<br />

If you’re like many Maverick Region members and friends,<br />

you can turn to the mrpca yahoo groups for answers and advice.<br />

The MRPCA mailing list facilitates communication between its<br />

members. Nearly 400 members have already joined the group!<br />

If you haven’t joined, you should consider doing so. It’s really<br />

not very hard to sign up. True, it’s not quite as easy as tying your<br />

shoe, but it’s close. There are several ways you can sign up:<br />

• Send an email to “MRPCA-subscribe@yahoogroups.com”<br />

and reply to the resulting email that gets sent to you. If you do<br />

NOT reply to the email, you will NOT be added. If you or your<br />

company uses one of those fancy spam filters that will try to<br />

verify new email addresses, you might have a heckuva time<br />

getting started.<br />

• Go to http://groups.yahoo.com and search for “mrpca” to find<br />

the group. Once you click on the group name, you can click on<br />

the “Join This Group!” button at the top right. Fill out the form<br />

and click “Join.” Yes, it can be that easy.<br />

If this is your first experience with Yahoo Groups, there are<br />

several different modes that you can join with. Selecting the right mode<br />

will control how many messages and how quickly you will get them.<br />

• Normal mode - You will get each email message as a separate<br />

message as promptly as it can be delivered by all the email<br />

systems involved.<br />

• Digest mode - A bunch of messages are collected and sent to<br />

you as a single message.<br />

• Onelist sends a digest when it gets to about 1000 lines or so,<br />

when it has 25 messages queued up, or once a day.<br />

• No-Mail means that you get no email messages, but must read<br />

the archives online to see what was said. This is also a handy<br />

setting if you're going on vacation and don't want a flooded<br />

inbox upon return.<br />

There are some other standard rules of posting and engagement<br />

to follow, but that will come to you in an email from the<br />

moderator. Read them, follow them, and your posting life will be<br />

great. Don’t hesitate to jump right in. Read the old archives. Ask<br />

questions. Need help? Send an email to the moderators at MRPCAowner@yahoogroups.com.<br />

Boxstoberfest <strong>2005</strong><br />

By Bob Bianconi<br />

It was the biggest; it was the best Boxster gathering in the<br />

Southwest… ever! And it was right here in Texas. Boxstoberfest<br />

<strong>2005</strong> was held the weekend of September 9-11 in Fredericksburg at<br />

the eastern edge of Hill Country. Supported by Maverick, Lonestar and<br />

Hill Country Regions, this year’s Boxstoberfest (the 8th annual) hosted<br />

62 Boxsters, a couple of 968’s, four 911’s, two 356’s and a Cayenne. Not<br />

to mention the P40… ah, more on that later. D/FW won the honor of<br />

having the most Boxsters attending, closely followed by Austin and<br />

Houston. Many folks came from other Texas cities/towns such as San<br />

Angelo, Pittsburgh (Bob and Jan Jones), Longview, and Corpus Christi.<br />

Hill Country roads can’t be beat.<br />

Boxstoberfest weekend started off with a huge German bier bash<br />

on Friday night at the Auslander restaurant in downtown<br />

Fredericksburg. The Auslander is located on Fredericksburg’s Main<br />

Street; but for this weekend, “Main Street” was not to be. Instead, by<br />

Mayoral decree, “Main Street” was re-named “Boxster Boulevard” in<br />

our honor! This has got to be the only street in the country, maybe the<br />

world, named after the Boxster (Stuttgart take note…)!<br />

Saturday was the big day. The morning started off with a Boxster<br />

car show at the Fredericksburg Airport. With private aircraft as the<br />

backdrop, 62 Boxsters lined up on the flight line. And I have to say it<br />

was a pretty impressive sight. All the Boxsters were judged for overall<br />

cleanliness including scoring attributes such as…<br />

• The amount of ‘garbage’ in the seat folds (5 points no garbage,<br />

1 point lots of garbage);<br />

• Whether the wheel crests pointed to the valve cap (old factory<br />

tradition)<br />

• And best of all: each car got 1 point for having a front license<br />

plate, but got 2 points if they didn’t!<br />

There were lots of very clean ’05 Boxsters and an ’06 or two, but<br />

the cleanest car was owned by D/FW folks, Richard and Robyn Bradley,<br />

with their really sweet ’00 Guards Red Boxster. Congrats, guys!<br />

Another highlight of the car show was the supercharged Boxster<br />

brought by Imagine Auto, a Kansas City Porsche tuner. This car was<br />

pretty awesome, to say the least. Many folks were eyeing-up the trick<br />

install. IA also brought Boxstoberfest T-shirts for each car. Great deal!<br />

Ground level view of the Boxster lineup.<br />

Perhaps the most exciting part of the car show was provided by<br />

George Szokoly. George flew his private plane from Savannah Georgia<br />

to be at Boxstoberfest. He also volunteered to take one of the participant’s<br />

kids up in the plane to take pictures of the car line-up. There<br />

were several flybys with everyone standing beside their car. Not to be<br />

outdone, the owner of the airport got in his helicopter to take pictures<br />

of his own. Best of all, right in the middle of all the Boxster hubbub was<br />

a fully restored P40 fighter aircraft.<br />

With the festivities at the airport just about over, Boxstoberfest<br />

participants lined up in 2 groups for a drive through the Hill Country.<br />

With such a large crowd, one group took a clockwise route while the<br />

second group took a counter-clockwise route. Both groups met in<br />

Leakey, Texas at the Frio Canyon Lodge for lunch. After lunch a third<br />

group assembled for a spirited drive back towards Fredericksburg -<br />

driving the famous (infamous?) ‘330’ routes (Rt’s 335, 336, 337). These<br />

are just about some of the best roads in Hill Country with lots of curves<br />

and elevation. One of the participants called the trip back a roller coaster;<br />

that about says it all. The remaining 2 groups continued at a nice<br />

leisurely pace back to the Officer’s Club at the Fredericksburg Airport<br />

where cold drinks and snacks were waiting.<br />

Saturday evening wrapped up the day with a buffet dinner at the<br />

Fredericksburg Brewing Company. Folks who took digital pictures<br />

during the weekend downloaded their shots onto a computer and<br />

Aerial views like this happen once in a lifetime.<br />

everyone got to see themselves driving, eating and generally acting silly.<br />

There were two photo tributes, one to Gottfried Hogh a Boxstoberfest<br />

participant from Michigan who passed away this past year. The second<br />

was to Boxstoberfest organizer, Mike Renter from HCR, who is currently<br />

serving in Iraq. There were lots of door prizes; in fact there were<br />

enough to go around twice. D/FW area sponsors included Autobahn,<br />

Boardwalk, and Zims. Texas Driver Magazine was on hand to cover the<br />

event and hand out copies of their great magazine and new on-line<br />

magazine, Rainy Day Magazine, offered free subscriptions to participants.<br />

What was the best part of Boxstoberfest? Well, aside from meals,<br />

room and gas, Boxstoberfest was free. Then there was the great assembly<br />

of Boxsters and all the free stuff. But as always, it’s all those fun folks<br />

who just happen to own a car like me. Y’all gotta try it next year. It’s a<br />

great big smile.<br />

Carrera Cruises - Porsche in Ferrari Land<br />

by Alan Lage<br />

Alan is a 12 year Maverick member. A job transfer currently has<br />

him living and working in Mainz, Germany. He drives a black 968<br />

while in Dallas that Mike Lockas and Clarence Wyatt are baby sitting.<br />

In Germany he drives a speed yellow 996 C4S.<br />

Thursday of Memorial Day weekend<br />

Verena and I loaded up the 911 and<br />

left Mainz for a long weekend of fast<br />

cars, shoes, relaxing in the sun, great food<br />

and wine. Yes, we were heading to Italy.<br />

After a late after-work start we decided to<br />

spend the night in the south German town<br />

of Freiburg near Switzerland. With occasional<br />

bursts of 250+ kph on some stretches<br />

(on the no speed limit autobahn), this trip<br />

only took us one and a half hours.<br />

The next day we were up early and off to Maranello, Ferrari<br />

land. The drive took us through Switzerland, where the strictly<br />

enforced 120 kph speed limit mimics the Swiss people well known<br />

throughout Europe as slow movers. In contrast: once we crossed<br />

the Italian border, even though the speed limit only increased to<br />

130 kph, the traffic on the autostrada began to move much faster<br />

and chaotically just like the Italian people move through life in<br />

what appears to be a constant chaos that somehow works.<br />

My favourite Italian driving method is to speed down the middle<br />

of the two lanes, if a car is coming up quickly behind, you move<br />

to the right lane. If you start to catch traffic in front, you move to<br />

the left lane while your left blinker quickly moves slow traffic to the<br />

right, making your pass quick and safe. As the speed differential<br />

between a Fiat Topolino and my Carrera can easily approach 200<br />

kph, this Italian style of lane discipline works perfectly for everyone<br />

on the road no matter how much horsepower you are packing.<br />

Now if we could only get some lane discipline in the good ole USA.<br />

Once off the autostrada, the back roads to Maranello are ruled<br />

by Ferraris, Porsches - mainly black Cayennes which would be my<br />

choice as a North Italian mafia leader - and the ever present Vespas<br />

and Piaggios whizzing around us like bees protecting their hives.<br />

Mix this with the notorious Fiat Bravo (are they all silver?), three<br />

wheel Apes (bee in Italian) and you have some serious back road<br />

chaos that somehow works.<br />

Maranello would be a sleepy small Italian town if not for the<br />

ever present howl of the V8 and V12 Ferrari engine. After an afternoon<br />

spent browsing the Ferrari store, drooling at the Ferrari<br />

museum, a truly awesome display of street and racing Ferraris and<br />

engines, and trying to gain access to the Fiorano test track (but<br />

only getting glimpses of its action by peaking through the fence on<br />

the side of a back road), we drove by the factory. Just at this<br />

moment a factory fresh F430 howled through the back gate and a<br />

shift of factory workers all sporting red cavallino work outfits<br />

ended their day. Still later in the evening as we went to dinner we<br />

spotted the “men in red” having an aperitivo at the local café and a<br />

Campari at the pub. These factory workers must be so proud to be<br />

part of Ferrari land that their work outfits do not even come off<br />

during their evening social time.<br />

Cross Pollonation - Ferrari Garb in a Carrera<br />

After securing a hotel room we took a quick blast up a back<br />

Maranello road which looked like the neighbourhood where the<br />

Ferrari owners lived, the road had plenty of extra curves which<br />

appeared to be put there only for the pleasure of the residents. The<br />

restaurant “Il Cavallino” (Enzo’s favourite) was<br />

our choice for an authentic Italian Ferrari<br />

dining experience. While drinking red wine<br />

and waiting on our dinner the wait staff and<br />

cooks all headed outside to take a look at the<br />

Speed Yellow Carrera setting in the parking lot.<br />

When they returned we asked our waiter why<br />

the excitement over the Porsche in the midst of<br />

Ferrari land? The waiter said: “we grew up next<br />

to the Ferrari factory and see them every day.<br />

But a Carrera, now, that is exciting…”<br />

Obviously also for the cook, who in his state of<br />

Porsche fervour simply forgot to prepare half of Verena’s dinner!<br />

Saturday we moved onto the Sirmione peninsula on Lake<br />

Garda, where the medieval cobblestone-streets are so narrow that the<br />

Carrera’s wide rear hips almost brushed the walls of the houses right<br />

and left. Fortunately they were mostly one-way-roads; still I had to<br />

be careful not to run over an elderly Italian lady chitchatting with her<br />

neighbour across the street or a smiling old man enjoying the sun on<br />

a chair in front of his house. Our hotel was situated on the East shore<br />

Photo Provided by Alan Lage<br />

T-Shirts are Cheaper Than an Enzo!<br />

of the peninsula next to the ancient Sirmione castle. It was simple<br />

with a great balcony view and the sound of the waves crashing<br />

against the lake shore. We explored the shops and beaches ending the<br />

day with an excellent seafood and pasta meal washed down with<br />

great wine and grappa.<br />

Sunday we explored the west coast of Lake Garda with a main<br />

stop in Gargnano, where Verena once spent a summer studying<br />

Italian in the beautiful Palazzo Feltrinelli, the Milan’s University summer<br />

school situated directly on the lake. A few hot afternoon hours<br />

were spent under the olive trees on the beach reading and napping.<br />

The weekend ended on Monday with a final stop at Brescia for<br />

window shopping and a spectacular late lunch, before we had to<br />

slow-move back through Switzerland. We hit the German border<br />

early Monday evening; very light traffic allowed the music of the flat<br />

six at full song fill our ears until we arrived home in Mainz.<br />

Time Trial #5 - My First Ever<br />

by Christy Dominick<br />

As a first time attendee at the Time Trials, I<br />

was not sure what to expect. However, I was<br />

excited at the thought of getting a chance to<br />

drive the way I really want to.<br />

Denny (my honey) and I left Flower Mound<br />

at the crack of dawn to get to Mineral Wells by<br />

7:30 am. Of course, we were well prepared with<br />

plenty of water, snacks, and sunscreen. We were welcomed by<br />

Wendy, who checked us in and gave us the low-down.<br />

Photo by Charlie Davis<br />

this was a potentially bad thing. The first group ran for 2 hours<br />

and I started to feel the burn. The time went by quickly with Shelly<br />

giving me plenty of insight and instruction on the course and procedures.<br />

This was fun, but now it was my turn behind the wheel.<br />

First order of business – sunscreen. I quickly covered my<br />

shoulders and arms and watched as Denny took off on his first<br />

run. Did I mention I was excited? In all this excitement, I did not<br />

cover my face, chest, neck, legs….you get the idea. I was pumped<br />

and had great fun, but I was horribly burnt for two weeks, everywhere<br />

but my arms and shoulders.<br />

Now my turn! What an incredible rush! I was still driving like<br />

I was in my SUV, but by the end of my first session, I was ready to<br />

get down and dirty.<br />

Turn #1 was tighter than I expected…I’d be ready next time.<br />

Turn #2 I could visualize and had the feeling of how to handle it.<br />

Turn #3 was freaking me out! After the first session, I had to<br />

psyche myself up for it and push it further than I thought I could.<br />

In the second session I certainly pushed it….I almost spun out,<br />

fishtailed instead, and pulled it out, without touching a pylon!<br />

Christy demonstrating her excitement.<br />

Being the first time for both Denny and I, we were paired up<br />

with Rick Randall and Shelly Burbank for a tour of the course,<br />

and some valuable instruction. Denny and I did well thanks to<br />

their help. They did a fabulous job getting us up to speed (pun<br />

intended). Much thanks to them both!<br />

Apparently it was a smaller group than usual, but we had<br />

enough people to cover all the corners. I was on the tarmac at turn<br />

#4 for the first group’s session. I would recommend this for<br />

anyone who is on a course for the first time. Seeing the challenges<br />

the drivers were having gave me a distinct advantage on turn #4.<br />

I knew what to expect. Turn #3 was a different story, though. We’ll<br />

get back to that later…..<br />

I was so excited, but had no idea what I needed to do out on<br />

the course. Fortunately, I had Shelly with me for that, too. After the<br />

drivers’ meeting it was time to go. I grabbed some water and<br />

off we went, with Bill Miller dropping the attendants at their<br />

designated turns. However, in my excitement, I forgot to put on<br />

the sunscreen we brought with us. Being a fair-skinned redhead,<br />

Rick Randall ready to roll with Brian Petri looking on.<br />

Turn #4 was my baby. I had watched every driver in the first<br />

group take those turns and I knew what I wanted to do and how<br />

to do it. However, I learned another valuable lesson from Bryan<br />

Bell. I went for a ride with Bryan on a fun run and he took turn 4<br />

very differently than I did…and much better.<br />

Turn #5 was comfortable. I guess that’s why I got a little too<br />

cocky on my second to last hot lap and ran over the only cone I hit<br />

that day. If I had just held on, I would have beaten Denny’s best<br />

time. In the end, Denny only beat me by 0.2 seconds!<br />

Turn #6 was frustrating at first, but I was ready to take it on<br />

in my second session, too.<br />

Ultimately, I had an incredible time, learned a bunch and<br />

made some new friends. Everyone in the group was very helpful,<br />

friendly, professional and accommodating. I am looking forward<br />

to the next Time Trial and have been running the course in my<br />

head over and over. All I have to say is, “Look out Denny, I’ll get<br />

you on the next one.” Oh, and after some driving schools, look out<br />

ladies. :o)<br />

Welcome, New Members!<br />

You have just joined one of the best and most active PCA Regions in the country! Some clubs focus solely on social events, while<br />

othersfocus on just show and shine concours events. Maverick Region is a club that focuses on providing our members with the tools<br />

necessary to have the ultimate in driving experiences. You will noice that our region has many Time Trials, Autocrosses, and Drivers’<br />

Education (DE) events (in addition to a yearly Club Race). This has been the spirit of the region for quite some time. We have some<br />

of he finest instructors in the country. Make sure you take full advantage of the driving experiences we have to offer.<br />

Racing is not ALL we focus on, though. If racing doesn’t suit you, we have monthly happy hours, three monthly lunch gatherings,<br />

regular dinner socials, frequent driving tours on some fabulous roads in and around Texas, driving rallies (fun for the whole<br />

family), and regular opportunities to support our perpetual charity, the Hope Shelter. If we don’t have what you’re looking for, just<br />

ask us... we might just add something extra to the calendar.<br />

Please also feel free to share article ideas (and submissions) to editor@mavpca.org. We’d love to hear from you!<br />

Porsche GT 3 Seats One pair. black leather, Porsche crest in the seat back.<br />

Good condition--driver's side has some minor wear on the top of left<br />

bolster from sliding in and out of the car (which you would not really<br />

notice without specifically looking for it). Passenger side is nearly<br />

unused. Seats include factory sliders that are a direct fit for all 996 and<br />

Boxsters without any modification. Great for DE's and comfortable<br />

enough for the street. Have the submarine strap bar installed, a Porsche<br />

factory part you normally have to buy separately, at a cost of more than<br />

$40 per seat. $2200 for the pair. I live in Carrollton & would like to sell<br />

locally. Call Paul Seiler, 214.457.1217; boxster99t@comcast.net. (3)<br />
