New Member Party by Jean Frick Dave and I were excited to be going to the New Member Party. After all, we attended our first New Member Party back in 2003 BEFORE the <strong>February</strong> delivery of Dave’s new Boxster. He only had the VIN number, but had already joined PCA, and we were anxious to meet other Porsche owners. We were welcomed by the great folks in the Maverick Region and learned about the many activities available to us. So here we came, ready to meet new members and share the love of cars with them. We were pleased to have such a good turnout, but after all, the weather was BEAUTIFUL …who wouldn’t want to be out on a day like that? I was enjoying this conversation immensely and noticed that Dave was still visiting with Michael, the red 356 owner – so motioned for them to come on over. We introduced Jack and Michael, and they shook hands and then studied each other a bit…seemed like they had met before, but thought it was probably at a 356 meeting.

Since Dave had a 356 in college at Penn State, they enjoyed a brief discussion. Meanwhile, I came up to someone I had not seen before…but looking at his nametag, I immediately recognized the name. I had seen messages from Jack Griffin on the Maverick discussion group frequently. He spends a lot of time with other Porsche groups – the 356 Club, 914 Club, and 912 Club. He is very interested in vintage rallies and tours. He doesn’t attend many Mav events, but had come that day, in his black 356.

Back then there was an indoor Go Cart track out on White Settlement called the Indoor Grand Prix. They held endurance races with 5 on a team, going 250 laps. Jack drove there often, and one night his team was short a driver. You can guess the rest…Michael Epping was there as a single driver in a team set-up. As he stood around Jack asked him to fill in on his team. They Photo by Charlie Davis Dennis Chamberlain Planning the Next Happy Hour P-Cars Lined Up and Ticketed continued to drive together for 2 or 3 months, then Michael left Texas for about 12 years. He moved back a couple of years ago, now lives in Keller, and had come to the New Member party to find other 356 owners. Imagine standing there as they put it all together. Whatever your favorite car is, this time it was the 356 that brought them back together. Just another example of what can happen at our Mav events…expect the unexpected. 22
