The Inside Track<br />

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

If you missed the Founder's Day Celebration, you<br />

missed quite a party! The guest speaker was<br />

excellent, the food outstanding, awards plentiful,<br />

and raffle prizes seemingly endless. Tracey and Ed<br />

Gross, Jan Mayo and Wendy Shoffit did a fantastic<br />

job of planning and executing the event.<br />

Linda Bambina and Charlie Davis teamed<br />

up to provide great photographs for everyone as they entered the<br />

ballroom area. Gone are the days of a quick Polaroid snapshot. They<br />

were set up with first class digital equipment. Charlie even provided a<br />

Maverick logo background for the shots. If only I could have talked<br />

them into the Vaseline on the lens trick for my half of the picture.<br />

The evening opened with a well organized casino. Blackjack,<br />

craps, roulette, slots, Texas Hold ‘em, we had it all. Never in the real<br />

world have I had a stack of chips last so long. As an added bonus, the<br />

proceeds went to help the building fund at Hope Shelter.<br />

In a tradition that's becoming as well established as Founder's Day<br />

itself, Erika Nannis gave a heartwarming invocation. She always<br />

seems to come up with something that helps you realize what's truly<br />

important in life.<br />

Lori Mauthe and Keith Olcha introduced our guest speaker.<br />

Keith provided a Porsche fact-filled capsule of the 80's and Lori shared<br />

insights of her father as only a daughter can.<br />

Our speaker, Peter Schutz, was the CEO of Porsche A. G. from<br />

1981 to 1987. His talk combined interesting Porsche related facts with<br />

sound management focused issues. Needless to say, the motorheads in<br />

the audience ate it up. Even the people who don't know a 914 from<br />

a GT3, seemed to enjoy his engaging manner. Peter had his book,<br />

The Driving Force, available for purchase, with a personalized<br />

signature. As icing on the cake, he then generously donated the<br />

proceeds to Hope Shelter.<br />

The awards kicked off with Wendy Shoffit being honored as the<br />

deserving recipient of the Richard F. Selcer award. In addition to the<br />

usual AX/TT award, there were awards for the Club Racers, Rally<br />

and Tour participants as well. Not to be forgotten, a lucky DE<br />

participant and a DE instructor were given a complementary entry<br />

to a 2006 DE and a gift certificate.<br />

The raffle was a huge success, with the great prizes primarily<br />

donated by our generous sponsors, many whom were in attendance.<br />

Lanean Hughes outdid herself with the prizes. In fact, Leslie Black,<br />

Tracy Gross, Jan Mayo, Wendy Shoffit and Annette Snodgrass had an<br />

assembly line set up for the drawing of tickets and delivery of prizes.<br />

The election of officers was a combination of something old<br />

and something new. I'm still President, Mark, Vice President, Jeff,<br />

Treasurer and Jan Mayo is the new Secretary. The decision was<br />

made to postpone the voting on the proposed Bylaws Amendments.<br />

Everyone I talked with seemed to have had a great time, but we<br />

missed you, if you weren't there. Not being a group to rest on our<br />

laurels, we look forward to seeing you at the holiday party at the Lewis',<br />

on <strong>December</strong> 10th. Hope to see you there!<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

by Michael Wingfield<br />

The November <strong>2005</strong> Maverick Region Board<br />

meeting was held at Hackberry Creek<br />

Country Club on November 1, <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

The meeting had the following 17 members in<br />

attendance: Executive Council: Rocky Johnson,<br />

Mark Gluck, Jeff Atkins, Michael Wingfield; Board<br />

Members: Bill Miller, Wendy Shoffit, Lanean<br />

Hughes, Ed Gross, Bill Dawson, Joe McGlohen, Charlie Davis, Teri<br />

Davis, Joel Nannis, Dennis Chamberlain, Chuck Machala; Other<br />

Members: Jan Mayo and Marie Wingfield.<br />

Rocky called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM, and began the<br />

‘round table discussion.<br />

Bill Miller: Founder’s Day awards ordered. Sold the FRS<br />

radios.<br />

Wendy Shoffit: Presented the 2006 events calendar prepared<br />

by Bill Miller. Board members added and moved events to fill out<br />

the calendar. The completed/revised calendar will to go to Steve<br />

Boyd (webmaster) for posting on the web site. <strong>Slipstream</strong> ready<br />

today (11/1). Founder’s Day set and sponsors happy with their<br />

invitations. Sample program presented showing the schedule of<br />

events. Voting for club Officers and Bylaws revisions will be open<br />

until dinner.<br />

Wendy Shoffit (as Mike Brodigan): Seven advertiser bills<br />

remain outstanding. Seven Internet advertisers signed up. Steve<br />

Boyd will build a sponsor page on the web site.<br />

Lanean Hughes: Presented photos of Mike & Marie Stafford’s<br />

adventure participating in the final presentation of the 50th<br />

Anniversary 2006 911 Club Coupe at Road Atlanta. Hope Shelter<br />

Gift Delivery Holiday Party will be <strong>December</strong> 11, the day after the<br />

regional Holiday Party.<br />

Ed Gross: Over 70 RSVP’s for Founder’s Day to date. Joe<br />

McGlohen will provide food for the Holiday Party. Parking for<br />

Holiday Party will be at the nearby Tom Thumb, with permission<br />

granted by Tom Thumb. Wine Tasting scheduled for 2/2/06, see ad<br />

in <strong>December</strong> <strong>Slipstream</strong>. No progress this month on getting the<br />

Goodie Store online.<br />

Jeff Atkins: We have money. Distributed copies of the<br />

financial report through three quarters of <strong>2005</strong>. We have<br />

approximately $90K in the bank, showing a $15K- $17K increase<br />

in surplus funds for this year over last year. Will present a baseline<br />

budget balance sheet in <strong>December</strong> to Committee Chairs to aid<br />

Chairs in preparing a 2006 budget.<br />

Bill Dawson: DE program has netted approximately $11K<br />

through September. Anticipates adding a fourth DE event in April<br />

2006. Maverick Region will be the first club to hold an event on the<br />

new MSR 3.1 mile full course in 2006.<br />

Michael Wingfield: The October DE event generated<br />

approximately $19,500 in entrant fees, while falling just short of a<br />

sell out. Registration of 2006 DE events will be via an online<br />

application called www.clubregistration.net that will accept credit<br />

cards and PayPal. We will no longer use paper registration forms.<br />

Joe McGlohen: Menu for Holiday Party to include brisket,<br />

ribs, chicken breast, and possibly venison. Will get plates and<br />

plastic eating utensils, garbage cans and bags, along with beverages<br />

(beer & wine) for the party.<br />

Charlie Davis: Working on new AX/TT classes for 2006.<br />

Currently we have too many classes, and too many one-car classes<br />

at events. Plans to reduce the total number of classes (which will<br />

differ from the Parade classes) by making regular classes open to<br />

both male and female drivers. Planning a single female class that<br />

will be indexed for the different type cars. Criteria for Top Driver<br />

Award will also change.<br />

Teri Davis: Added rally dates to the event calendar, and would<br />

like to make the rally program a “series” with a year-end award.<br />

Most rallies planned for 2006 are Gimmick type events, but may<br />

have a TSD (time speed distance) rally before Parade.<br />

Joel Nannis: We have members. He is the only region member<br />

who receives the membership list, which used to be available<br />

online to other region members. He can provide a member list in<br />

Excel format if necessary. Would like to offer a “no hard copy of<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong>” option to the membership to save on publication<br />

costs. The option would allow members to opt out of receiving the<br />

magazine, which is available (in color) in electronic format on the<br />

web site.<br />

Dennis Chamberlain: Uses the membership list to send<br />

invitations to Happy Hour (HH) events to new members. New<br />

members receive a special notice invitation while members who<br />

joined within the last 10 months receive a notice of the HH. HH at<br />

Joe T’s had ~40 in attendance. November HH scheduled for 11/17<br />

at Razzoo’s in Irving. <strong>December</strong> HH scheduled for 12/15 at<br />

Champps in Addison.<br />

Chuck Machala: Questions whether to schedule a Lady’s AX<br />

school in 2006 since the <strong>2005</strong> school had only five participants,<br />

and had difficulty in obtaining instructors. Possibly it should roll<br />

into one of the other events. Bill Miller proposes that all “First<br />

Timer” entrants into a school (AX/TT/Rally) get a free entry to<br />

increase interest and promote participation. This could possibly be<br />

extended to include regular AX/TT and Rally events as well. The<br />

AX/TT and Rally Chairs will discuss in committee.<br />

Mark Gluck: November events are insured.<br />

Rocky Johnson: Makes a motion to spend $900 for Founder’s<br />

Day awards. Mark Gluck seconds. Motion passes. Shares an email<br />

of thanks from a War Bonnet member who attended the October<br />

DE and had mechanical car troubles. Thanks to the efforts of<br />

several Maverick members, his car was repaired for the long drive<br />

home. Appointing a committee to investigate the use of online<br />

meetings as special meeting for conducting business. Proposal to<br />

have the <strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor receive free entry into region events will<br />

be discussed inside each event committee.<br />

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

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

for the region to obtain the proper size room for the meeting. The<br />

next meeting will be Tuesday, 12/6.<br />

The November meeting adjourned at 9:24 PM.<br />

From The Driver’s Seat<br />

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

Another year is winding down. I hope you’ve<br />

had a great one filled with love, laughter, and<br />

tons of fun. If you’ve been active with the<br />

region, I’m sure you’ve had plenty of awesome<br />

events to choose from. I know I have! The funny<br />

thing to me is that, no matter how many events I<br />

attend, I still wish I could do more. For example, I<br />

went to all the autocrosses and time trials, but missed out on<br />

several of the DE’s and have yet to make it to a single tour! I know<br />

I’m missing out... I’ve been to a few lunches and a few happy hours,<br />

but I’ve sadly missed more than I’ve attended. I have regrets about<br />

not meeting our wonderful new members at these missed<br />

opportunities. But, I realize I am only human, trying to manage a<br />

household and raise a fantastic daughter. I also then realize that I<br />

HAVE been to a lot of events and have met someone new each and<br />

every time. I wouldn’t trade that for the world!<br />

I have hope that you new (and not so new) members out there<br />

won’t stop coming to the many different kinds of events we have to<br />

offer. Do you have to make every event? Well, of course not. BUT,<br />

what are you missing when you don’t try each kind (rally, autocross,<br />

time trial, DE, Club Race, tour, swap meet, tech session, concours,<br />

and socials)? The next thing you try might turn out to be your<br />

favorite. The next person you meet could become your next best<br />

friend. I know some of my best friends have come from the club...<br />

Get in the driver’s seat and see what you’ve been missing!<br />

Burping a Boxster? Yep, we did it!<br />

Photo by Carl Moore<br />

By Carl Moore<br />

Last fall we discovered Arkansas’s Little Snake and Big Snake roads.<br />

On this trip, we drove “THE MOTHER OF ALL SNAKES”!<br />

Thanks to the Maverick Region Tourmeister Andy Miller, the Big<br />

Cedar Lodge Tour was a great success!<br />

This was one of our longer trips (1,550 Miles). Seventeen cars left<br />

the DFW area on Thursday evening heading for Hope, Arkansas (Yep,<br />

home of Bill, but he wasn’t there) in order to leave early Friday<br />

morning to enjoy the great back roads and scenery of Arkansas’s Ozark<br />

mountains.<br />

The Snakes<br />

Friday morning at 8:00 AM, we are off and running.<br />

Oh yes, we did have a few delays along the way….<br />

Thirty minutes out of the shoot, Ted Glover was looking for a<br />

snack.<br />

Fifteen minutes later, …“Why is the oil level gauge in the red?”<br />

Pete - you may need a topping off and we will check it at the first rest<br />

stop. As everyone headed out to experience the next couple of hours of<br />

great curves on Arkansas’s back roads, we topped up the oil and then<br />

played catch up.<br />

And did we keep going as planned? Well not exactly. Ten minutes<br />

later …<br />

“Why is all my coolant gone?” Hill & Lorie, your Boxster is only 3<br />

inches off the road and that last little bump took off your bottom hose<br />

clamp and hose. Your coolant is all over Joey’s car.<br />

This became an education on “burping” a coolant system and<br />

“limping” into Big Cedar Lodge. ‘Thanks, Joey for the spare hose<br />

clamp!’ Now, how do you bleed air out of a coolant system? You BURP<br />

it! Sure! Where is the Burping valve? Must be under the front right<br />

wheel. OK, the wheel comes off, the trunk lid is up, the engine<br />

compartment is open and six people are looking for the “burping”<br />

valve. “Hey, let’s call Boardwalk.” Sure enough, there it was all the time<br />

just under the coolant reservoir!<br />

Most of us met at the Cliff House for lunch, except for Hill, Lorie<br />

and their crew of coolant burping assistants who limped on to Big<br />

Cedar Lodge, hoping to be there in time for dinner.<br />

Friday afternoon showed exquisite, great roads with everyone<br />

keeping pace. How these Porsches can perform!<br />

Driving into Big Cedar Lodge is an experience everyone should<br />

have an opportunity to enjoy. It had a beautiful setting in the Ozarks,<br />

with two creeks you drive through just to arrive at the registration desk.<br />

Dinner at the Devil’s Pool restaurant was great. Good food, good<br />

friends, a birthday celebration for Robert and Joey and an overall great<br />

time.<br />

Saturday bright and early we left for an exciting day of driving!<br />

Highlighted by a stunning trip on not only The Little and Big<br />

Snake roads, but also THE MOTHER OF ALL SNAKE roads, HWY 9<br />

in Arkansas. There were only … “I can’t believe it’s” … when we<br />

gathered at the end of the Mother! I can’t recall a better day of driving,<br />

with all drivers doing what they were comfortable with. Arkansas sure<br />

has great roads.<br />

Stopping at Allen’s groceteria we had a car with a battery warning<br />

light blinking. This is the third battery … then it must be the alternator.<br />

Buddy & Renee spent the afternoon trading in their car for a bright red<br />

Chevy rental. Their car will be trucked back to Dallas for repair.<br />

Sunday, early … a quick breakfast then a gathering in the upper<br />

parking lot. The tires on the red Chevy looked soft, so Andy got out his<br />

trusty Porsche tire pump and did his thing along with Buddy. Carol &<br />

Renee ended up driving as caboose and were sure burning up the road<br />

in their hot red Chevy. Reminded us of the movie Thelma & Louise,<br />

but with a happier ending.<br />

Early Saturday morning at Big Cedar Lodge<br />

We stopped at Queen Wilhelmina Lodge for lunch, which is<br />

always great. Then for the home stretch with Andy leading the pack!<br />

Over the hill and … blink, blink, blink.<br />

We realize a lot of work goes into preparing a trip like our Big<br />

Cedar Lodge Tour and we are grateful to Andy & Cindy Miller and their<br />

assistants, Ted and Bonnie Glover, for their efforts. It’s like a wedding;<br />

months of preparation, then it’s over - just like that! However, the<br />

memories will last forever.<br />

And oh-by-the way, aren’t the Porsche’s absolutely great? Only on<br />

trips like this can you realize the overall performance and capabilities<br />

of your prestigious car. What an awesome machine! What a great trip!<br />

Be sure to sign up for next year’s tour. It’s always a fabulous time.<br />

Charity Autocross<br />

Photo by Bob Trader<br />

by Bob Trader<br />

Sunday, October 9th was the date of this really fun event in the<br />

name of charity at the Texas Motor Speedway Bus Lot. The<br />

“Run What You Brung” Charity Autocross benefited the Hope<br />

Shelter, Maverick Region's perpetual charity. MRPCA is assisting in<br />

building a new 5,000 sq.ft. shelter. Money collected at this event<br />

went to help MRPCA accomplish this goal. They anticipate a<br />

finished shelter by <strong>December</strong> <strong>2005</strong>!<br />

It was a beautiful day for both giving and racing. Thanks to<br />

the MRPCA, a whole bunch of us got to see what it was like to be<br />

gone in 60 seconds. The course was set up so that a good driver<br />

with the right car could finish a lap in about that amount of time.<br />

Most of us took a little longer. We all got to complete 4 laps back<br />

to back in the first session and then another 4 laps in the second<br />

session, yes that is a total of 8 laps to show everyone what our<br />

individual car could do. It was my first time to run one of<br />

Maverick’s events and, hopefully, not my last. By writing this little<br />

tidbit, I get a no-work event next time ........ yaaaaa baby.<br />

I had to run this event in my non-Porsche auto .... a beautiful<br />

1990 Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. Only problem was I had to race<br />

every other Japanese car out there and that was a lot. There were<br />

350Zs, Honda S2000's, Mazda RX8s just to name a few. Yes there<br />

was a lot of those other cars out there ...... but since I only have a<br />

Cayenne which my wife won't let me race, and not a 911 or<br />

Boxster, I really didn't concern myself with what the "Porsches"<br />

were doing .........Haaaaaaaaa!!!!!<br />

The weather was so nice, anyone who didn't come and support<br />

this event should be ashamed of themselves. The course was<br />

set up to have fun and not be as challenging as I'm sure other<br />

autocrosses might be. I know that I, for one, felt like I was flying,<br />

even if my times didn't show it. The members of the club who did<br />

all the work in bringing this event to us deserve a big round of<br />

cheer and a large pat on the back. Also to be thanked was the local<br />

Porsche dealer, Autobahn, who sponsored the event and provided<br />

enough cold water and t-shirts to satisfy a much larger turn out.<br />

Thankfully, the Texas heat left us alone this day and not much<br />

water was needed.<br />

Since pictures tell the story better then I can ...... just feast<br />

your eyes on these..<br />

Thanks,<br />

DE at MotorSport Ranch<br />

by Phil Hallenbeck<br />

“It’s a whole new track out there!”<br />

The most-heard words at the MotorSport Ranch on<br />

October 22 and 23 had nothing to do with the Ranch’s ongoing<br />

construction of a new extension of the existing course, but with<br />

the fact that the Mavericks ran the course clockwise, making for<br />

a truly all-new experience for many. While many things remained<br />

the same—the great support of sponsor Park Place Porsche, the<br />

warm smile of Lanean Hughes, the superbly smooth track<br />

surface—the new direction made it all seem different.<br />

October 22 dawned bright and sunny, with only an<br />

early-morning chill to keep tires cold and speeds down—and<br />

that only for the first run or two. Every driver seemed to feel<br />

that “this is the perfect day at the track.” As temperatures<br />

warmed into the 70s by the afternoon, both speeds and spirits<br />

warmed wonderfully. College football, whose presence was<br />

announced by the Longhorns and Red Raiders on the<br />

clubhouse TV, seemed but a distant distraction compared to<br />

what was really important—the fellowship of speed, which is<br />

never better than when in the company of fellow Mavericks<br />

and their machines.<br />

Attendees at “Chaplain” Michael Wingfield’s 7:15 a.m<br />

prayer meeting found day two to be quite a different story,<br />

chilly and windy in the morning, chillier and windier later on.<br />

“It’s in the 60s, but it feels like the 40s” was an oft-heard<br />

comment. Sunday truly made the drivers work for their speed,<br />

taking extra care to warm up the tires before pushing the speed.<br />

The special note for Sunday, though, is surely one of thanks to<br />

Joe McGlohen and the corner workers for enduring chilly<br />

winds hour after hour, but with always a friendly wave for a<br />

drivers and a laser-beam focus on safety. The Mavericks are<br />

proud to record yet another accident-free high-speed event,<br />

counting over 25 years without an injury—in many ways due<br />

to the untiring attention of these truest of volunteers.<br />

The weekend’s best video was not Saving Private Ryan, not<br />

the NFL games on TV, but CarCam footage of David Baker and<br />

his GT3 Cup at a Virginia International Raceway club race.<br />

David, great soul that he is, politely asked the dozen or so<br />

gearheads present in the MSR clubhouse if he could interrupt<br />

the NFL game to show his footage. Not a single word was raised<br />

in protest, so the previously raucous crowd watched silently in<br />

rapt attention to several laps of great racing in the rain,<br />

culminating in an unfortunate but truly spectacular spin which<br />

David fortunately endured without serious injury.<br />

Thanks to Park Place Porsche for their sponsorship of a<br />

truly wonderful weekend, to Bill Dawson and the DE team for<br />

organization and hospitality, and to the Ranch for hosting us!<br />

TT #6 and AX #6<br />

by Chuck Machala<br />

The last autocross of the year was held at Mineral Wells on<br />

October 16. Since it was the last one in which I would be<br />

chairman, I wanted the course to be special. After bouncing a<br />

few ideas off Charlie Davis, I decided to go with a stack of optionals,<br />

one after another, so that the option you took on the first would feed<br />

in to the second, and so on. As usual, I wanted the course to be big<br />

and fast as well. In the end, the final design was a co-conspiracy of<br />

Charlie and myself.<br />

Sunday morning was perfect: 60 degrees with not a cloud in<br />

the sky. The course walk took at least 45 minute for most people<br />

and along the optionals near the start, groups of people debated as<br />

to which was the quickest line. Before the start and throughout the<br />

morning sessions, many different possibilities were tried by various<br />

cars and various drivers and discussed at lunch time. This is one of<br />

my favorite things about the autocross. Given about 16 possible<br />

combinations and only 8 runs, you need to come up with a<br />

strategy to find the best line for you and your car and then execute<br />

your best run quickly. My car likes it when it’s cold and I knew that<br />

in the afternoon it would warm up. I wanted to try and get a good<br />

run done in the morning.<br />

Everyone who completes a run is a good source of information<br />

and I always try and talk to as many people as possible to get<br />

their inputs. Everybody was forthcoming on what they thought the<br />

best combination was through the optionals, where they could<br />

improve their time, and so on. After talking with Ed Mayo and<br />

several others after their runs, I had a pretty good idea how I<br />

wanted to use the morning runs.<br />

Andrea Bell making her way through the gate.<br />

My first run I use to learn the course and I never worry about<br />

my time. I usually go 110% to determine how fast each element can<br />

be done. This time was no exception and I think I ended up with<br />

three hit cones and a 118 second run. Not bad considering the top<br />

time so far was in the 112 range. The second run was very good, but<br />

I ended up hitting a cone in the very tight section near the end.<br />

That was a 112.68 including a two second penalty for the cone. A<br />

110 was definitely doable! My strategy for the third run is if I don’t<br />

have the class leading time or close to it I back off a little and just<br />

get a good time on the books. I ended up with a 111.23 which was<br />

good enough for top time so far. The last run I used for exploration<br />

and ran the optionals in a different manner. While I drove well, the<br />

line was not faster and I logged a 114 and change.<br />

Photo by Charlie Davis<br />

Chuck Machala and Mark Steele going virtually head to head!<br />

The afternoon runs were critical and first place in class 6 was<br />

on the line. Mark Steele in his 944S2 was just a half second behind.<br />

I focused my afternoon runs on trying to get in the low 110’s by<br />

doing the pivot cone better. There’s was gravel that made a wide<br />

exit in the pivot cone a bad idea. In the first three runs I was not<br />

able to improve on the morning time but Mark cut my lead to only<br />

one one-hundreth of a second in the third run and then broke into<br />

the 110’s on his last lap. With only one remaining I gave it<br />

everything I had but couldn’t improve again. Mark ended up with<br />

top time and a tie for first place in class 6.<br />

The women were also battling it out for top time and first<br />

place in class 6. Shelly Burbank ended up with ladies’ top time and<br />

grabbed a share of first place class 6 (with Lisa Steele) for the<br />

season with an excellent time of 114.<br />

I’d like to thank all the people who helped make my time as<br />

chairman a fun and rewarding experience. They are too many to be<br />

named. It’s a great group of people and I urge anyone who hasn’t<br />

tried it to come out next year. You’ll have fun. The schools will be in<br />

February and March and if you haven’t tried it and are a Maverick<br />

member, your first autocross, time trial, or school will be free.<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<br />

social events, while others focus on just show and shine concours events. Maverick Region is a club that focuses on<br />

providing our members with the tools necessary to have the ultimate in driving experiences. You will notice that our<br />

region has many Time Trials, Autocrosses, and Drivers’ Education (DE) events (in addition to a yearly Club Race).<br />

This has been the spirit of the region for quite some time. We have some of the finest instructors in the country. Make<br />

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<br />

lunch gatherings, regular dinner socials, frequent driving tours on some fabulous roads in and around Texas, driving<br />

rallies (fun for the whole family), and regular opportunities to support our perpetual charity, the Hope Shelter. If we<br />

don’t have what you’re looking for, just 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 />
