The Inside Track 

by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President 

Recently the board was chided for not 

making it easier for people, particularly 

new members, to know what positions 

might be available or how to go about 

volunteering. 

The initial reaction to that charge was 

generally one of skepticism. After giving it 

more thought, I decided there might be merit to the idea after 

all. Thinking back to my early days, I can understand how it 

might be a bit intimidating to get involved. Most of us are guilty 

of tossing out acronyms we take for granted that everyone 

understands. For example, someone might say we're running 

MSR counterclockwise at the next DE; the car was progressed 

from F stock to E prepared when they put on Big Reds; I had TTD 

at the last AX; the R compounds bumped me up a class; we're 

having a tulip rally, etc. MSR, Big Reds, TTD, R compounds, are 

all terms we know and love. But what about the new folks or the 

member who finally decided to venture out to a Happy Hour 

after reading about them in Slipstream for a couple of years? 

It was also pointed out that our listing of Board, Officers 

and Chairs in Slipstream doesn't always clear up confusion 

about who does what. 

Traditionally, when someone steps down from a position, it 

has been their responsibility to recruit their replacement. This 

usually means the recruit has been active in that area of the 

club for which they are being recruited. As an example, Bill 

Miller and Chuck Machala recruited Brian Petri and Bryan Bell 

to chair Autocross and Time Trials. Both had been active and 

we expect the events will run as smoothly as ever. Does this 

mean we overlooked someone with great credentials that we 

didn't know about? Could be! This could be the case in any 

number of areas. It's a dilemma for which I don't claim to 

have an answer. We do know that the vast majority of Maverick 

members never become active in the club and in fact many 

don't bother to renew their PCA membership. 

Obviously, I'm biased; I love the club and have a great time 

at a wide variety of our events. My question to all of you is how 

do we get our members involved? Everyone on the board is 

interested in the answer to that question. Give us a call, drop us 

an email, and share your thoughts.

Maverick Minutes 

by Jan MayoMarch 

7 board meeting found the food ready 

early so everyone had eaten and was ready to 

start the meeting 5 minutes early. Rocky 

started off saying he resented my implication that he was 

shirking his duty in missing the Feb board meeting 

because he was on a four week ski trip in Colorado. He 

was only gone three and a half weeks. I apologized and 

said I only commented such because my feelings were hurt at the entire 

board not being invited to join the ski trip. We were both grinning. 

We quickly moved on to Lanean Hughes' report on the status of the 

new home for Hope, Inc. There will be a weekend where they will need 

volunteer help to install insulation. Lanean will be calling. Once that is 

done there will be another weekend where the interior paint job will need 

some volunteers and again you will see her posts to the Mav Yahoo list. 

Please watch as they are looking forward to a July 1 move in date. 

Lanean continued with information on Porscheplatz, May 11-13, 

during the Lone Star Grand Prix -American LeMans race at Reliant Park 

in Houston. There will be a Porsche parking corral, scheduled appearances 

by Porsche drivers, and a PCA tent with membership info. and a 

raffle for someone to win a spot as a pit crew member. She needs around 

30 people to volunteer to work a time spot in the hospitality tent. 

Lanean had one more thing to say on behalf of Bryan Henderson, 

Zone 5 Representative. Part of the Portland Parade competition will be 

a Zone Challenge, in which Bryan wants some Mavericks to participate. 

Wendy Shoffit's report on the two Autocross School weekends started 

as a weather report. The first weekend was freezing rain, sleet and 

snow and the second weekend was sunny and mid 70's. Both weekends' 

events were held successfully in spite of the weather. There were 92 total 

students and with *most* of the expenses accounted for expects to see 

~$200 in surplus. She suggests we consider raising the price as it is only 

$5 more than the regular event price and we supply a t-shirt for the two 

day entrants, lunches, PLUS a full day of personalized instruction. 

Wendy has talked with Lisa Steele about taking over the school part of 

Wendy's many Maverick jobs and Lisa is considering it. (Hey Lisa, 

they're just like a bunch of really tall second graders! You can handle it.) 

Wendy moved on with her report on Slipstream. The March issue 

was delivered to Tri-Win on Feb 28. By the 7th no one had received their 

issue yet. We are probably going to return to using the Fort Worth bulk 

mail delivery instead of the Dallas distribution site as we never had these 

delays before moving to Dallas. There will be a $35 delivery charge from 

Tri-Win but if it eliminates the delays it will be worth it. Wendy had her 

normal "needs" list of articles yet to be received and also discussed Kevin 

Hardison's suggestion that the next issue have a color cover. She 

discussed the additional cost, there was a motion and a second and the 

board agreed to the additional cost. 

Jan Mayo gave some additional information on the cost and quality 

issue of buying new loaner helmets for the Truckster and requested $600 

+/- tax for the purchase from advertiser Bobby Archer. The request was 

moved, seconded and passed. 

Teri Davis said that everyone that showed up for the rally school had 

a good time in spite of the heavy rain. Reservations for her next rally are 

already coming in. 

Last month Teri had reported that there would be a Porsche Driving 

Experience at Portland Parade but now it will not be happening after all. 

Charlie Davis got a resounding response to his request for recognition 

for Kevin Hardison and the autocross committee’s work on the 

Autocross Schools. The room was filled with giant hurrahs and a final 

huge Rah Rah.... even though Kevin wasn't there to hear it. He did show 

up a bit later and we did a repeat performance. Charlie continued with 

the list of things he has accomplished on the Truckster reporting that it 

does run better now. He has ~25 people that have classified their cars 

and has found a small glitch in the system. It has been or will be fixed. 

Joel Nannis said the National Membership web site has been down 

and he's not sure when he will get updated information. Many of you 

have seen Joel driving Jellybean, the 1975 911 that belonged to Bob Ande. 

After Bob's death Joel bought the 911 and has been helping Bob's sister 

Judy with many of Bob's things including what to do with the Econoline 

van. With Judy's blessings the van will be donated to the Hope Shelter. 

The Ed and Tracey Gross duo have started working on May at 

Mayo's for May 20. They are looking into group tickets (not box) for a 

Ranger game in June and maybe a Murder Mystery dinner evening in 

July when it's too hot to be outside. The Goodie Store is going to ask for 

payment prior to making special orders. 

Brian Petri said Autocross #1 at TMS would be the weekend before 

the NASCAR race and he suspects there might be some RV traffic that 

we'll have to deal with. Lanean assures him that her source at TMS says 

RV's will not be allowed to enter the track till Sunday evening. 

DE Registrar Michael Wingfield said the February DE at MSR had 

220 entrants and 212 actually showed up even with the rain. The April 

event has 60 registrants so far. 

Marie Wingfield started some discussion on how anyone knows 

when there is an open Chair spot and suggests that we advertise when 

there are openings. She also was concerned that the titles were not very 

descriptive on the Board, Officers and Chairs page of Slipstream. 

DE Chair Bill Dawson was very pleased with the February DE turn 

out and the way the event was run even with the deluge of rain. He was 

pleased that a number of people used the rain as a learning instrument. 

Albert Sansores asked if the long MSR track will be run clockwise. 

Bill thought probably not as, at this time, there were some safety concerns 

with that direction. Albert wanted to know if we'd run the short course 

any more and again Bill responded that we would only if we do not fill 

registration. Our cost will still be less than other venues. 

Treasurer Jeff Atkins is on top of the tax status with Bob Knight but 

we will need to publish a 2005 P & L in Slipstream. He thinks he has 

budgets from everyone. Jeff still has some reservations on the notification 

and access processes with PayPal but these are being addressed. 

We have now gone around the table and are back to Rocky 

where he's still nursing a slight snow-sun burn on his nose. He has the 

paperwork for the PCA National awards and would like anyone to speak 

up with nominations. 

Kevin Hardison appears with his normal timeliness and we 

repeated the applause !! Applause!!! for his work on the Autocross schools. 

Lanean takes the floor again thinking it would be nice if folks sent a 

Thank You note to the businesses that sponsor events. Wendy reiterated 

to remember our sponsors not only with Thank You's when you visit 

them or see them at an event, but to also support them with purchases. 

No more repeats so we are done.

From The Driver’s Seat 

by Wendy Shoffit, Slipstream Managing Editor 

What a month we’ve had! I have never experienced 

a colder autocross school event as 

we had February 18-19. That Sunday, 

while standing outside waving my little red flag, I 

had snow coming down on my head. Before the 

event, I fielded tons of emails asking me if we were 

cancelling. “No way,” I said, “there’s too much to 

learn by driving in bad conditions.” The only way we would 

cancel is if it were truly too treacherous to drive TO the site. Despite 

later reports of multiple car accidents, the roads I traveled on 

weren’t all that bad. While there were a few no-shows and 

cancellations, the majority of the students did show up and had an 

absolute blast! See Cathy Howard’s article if you don’t believe me. 

The Mineral Wells schools on March 4-5 fortunately had 

much better weather to contend with. Sunshine and warm 

temperatures made us all much happier. Next time... sunscreen! 

Many kudos to the other members of the AX/TT schools 

committee: Chair, Tom Snodgrass; AX Chair, Brian Petri; TT Chair, 

Bryan Bell; School Guru, Kevin Hardison, Ed and Tracey Gross, Jan 

Mayo. We worked very well as a team and have had no complaints 

about the events. Further thanks go to all the volunteers who came 

out despite the weather conditions to either wave flags while 

working corners or chance car sickness while instructing on the 

skidpads. The school series was a grand success. I hope our new 

students come out to a regularly scheduled AX or TT event. Your 

education can and will continue with more and more seat time. 

Speaking of the AX/TT series, I wanted to say a little about the 

new classing structure. While I don’t personally understand it 

completely (haven’t really taken the time to learn it), I’m not too 

terribly worried about it. I hope you’re not, either. I know once the 

car gets classed and I decide if I’m running in the open or ladies 

class, it’s done. I also know that James, Charlie, Bryan, Lisa, and 

Brian will do their best to answer any questions that you can come 

up with and will help you class your Porsche. All you really have to 

do is come out, spend a few minutes with one of these people and 

then you’re done. Don’t let a little confusion keep you from having 

a LOT of fun driving your car! 

Now, on to a little more serious topic. I would like to ask for 

help working on Slipstream on a regular basis. I’m not looking for 

a replacement editor or anything... just some help for the time 

being. Someone who would like to learn about how this newsletter 

gets put together. Someone willing to put in some time and energy 

learning the ropes. This person might be willing in the future to 

become the managing editor. For the time being, it could be 

putting together a few pages here and there, tracking down articles, 

or various other helpful opportunities. Computer experience is 

very beneficial, but more importantly, passion for the marque and 

the club is most necessary. 

Let me teach you how to enjoy the view from this driver’s seat.

PCA Club Racing 2006 Update 

by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region Club Racer 

Porsche Club of America club racing has been 

around for over 10 years now. I’m not going to 

go into a lot of background for those who are 

not familiar with it. You can get the answers at 

www.pca.org/clubrace. There you’ll find everything 

you need to know about what PCA club racing is, how 

to get started, the schedule of races, pictures and 

timed results going back 8 years. PCA club racing is wheel-to-wheel 

amateur (not professional- no money, etc.) racing specifically 

designed for Porsche cars. Their motto is that there is a race classification 

for every Porsche ever made. The classifications are based on 

weight to horsepower ratios along with other factors such as kind of 

tires and whether the car was originally a street car or a Porsche built 

factory racer, and how much a stock car has been modified from 

original specs. The club-racing rulebook goes into much detail on this. 

The other big factor in PCA club racing is the idea that we should 

race every weekend and not destroy our cars just because we might be 

aggressive without the skill to manage it. There is a rule known as the 

“13/13” rule to assign blame and probation when there are on-track 

incidents resulting in contact or damage. The races take place at 

venues throughout North America. There are 27 races this year 

throughout the country at the most famous racetracks you know 

(Sebring, Daytona, Road America- the list goes on). 

Some races are nationally attended and have over 250 cars, while 

others are more regional and have 70-100 participants. There are over 

1000 registered club racers in PCA. In Maverick, we created an 

ongoing local award last year called the 5/5/500. It was given to 

Maverick club racers who had 5 podium finishes, in at least 5 

different races within 500 miles of any point inside the Maverick 

Region’s geography. Let me also explain that a race weekend might 

have 2-3 individual races, which can be sprint races lasting 30 

minutes, and Enduros lasting 90 minutes including refueling. The 

race weekends that qualified last year, as they will this year include 

Texas World Speedway in College Station, Heartland Park in Topeka 

Kansas, MotorSport Ranch in Cresson Texas, Hallett Motor Speedway 

in Oklahoma, and No-Problem Raceway near New Orleans. For those 

who want to tow a little further, Pueblo Colorado and Barber 

Motorsports Park in Alabama are 12 hour drives. The first race of the 

season down here, Texas World Speedway is history; it was in March. 

The rest are coming up fast. 

Many of us will be in Heartland Park at the end of April, and all 

of us will be at our home club race at Motorsport Ranch during the 

Memorial Day Weekend. We will be racing on Saturday, Sunday, and 

Monday. We will also be holding a solo-only DE that weekend. For 

more information on the club race and DE, please look here in 

Slipstream and on the Maverick Region website www.mavpca.org. 

We would love to see you at the Memorial Day event if not as a 

participant, then as a volunteer worker. Corner workers (you will be 

trained) have the best viewing seat in the place. We’re looking forward 

to seeing you on Memorial Day!

Neither Snow, Nor Rain... 

by Phil Hallenbeck 

Well, okay, we exaggerate a bit. Only rain greeted the 

Mavericks upon their February 25th return to 

MotorSport Ranch—but to many warm-blooded 

Texans it felt cold enough for the white stuff. And it was a rain to 

remember, as it was clear a Higher Authority had decided North 

Texas needed rain more than the Mavericks needed a dry track. A 

true deluge soaked early-arriving Porschephiles on Saturday, 

accompanied by awe-inspiring lightning. 

True to form, however, Porsche enthusiasts were not easily 

deterred, as full run groups set out Saturday morning on a track 

surface slippery enough to be described by many terms— 

“slick,” “icy,” and “greasy” being among the printable ones 

heard. It was obvious, however, that DE Chair Bill Dawson’s 

briefing was taken to heart, as very few cars went off the track 

despite a surface which sent over 50 cars off-track a year ago 

during similar conditions in February 2005. 

The drivers gained experience as the day wore on, and 

Agricultural Excursions remained few in number even as the 

rain continued to pour down. The newer drivers all found the 

Rain Line—some as part of their goals for the weekend, most 

because the “traditional” line was under several inches of water 

on some turns. According to some, the body of water in Little 

Bend became Lake Granbury, and Big Bend became home to 

Lake LBJ—and indeed, by mid-afternoon both seemed only a 

bit too small for boating and fishing. 

The traditional charity laps at noon took on a heightened 

importance, as proceeds went to May Clinic treatment for 

young Abby Schultz, 3. Abby, the cousin of MotorSport Ranch’s 

Curt Routson, suffers from Congenital Fiber Type 

Disproportion, a very rare form of Muscular Dystrophy. 

Although founder Alois Ruf was unable to attend the DE, 

the Mavericks make a big tip o’ the hat to Ruf Auto Centre for 

their invaluable sponsorship support to a wonderful event! 

The “Personal Trainer for Porsches” showed us yet again why 

the name Ruf is synonymous with extreme performance— 

worldwide. 

Unfortunately, the weather did delay the Mavericks’ 

experience of the new, 3.1-mile track, as the new “extension” to 

the MSR track was virtually buried under mud and water by the 

Saturday storm. Even the diligent efforts of the MotorSport 

Ranch crew with bucket loader and sweeper were simply 

overwhelmed. 

Sunday 

Sunday, however, was a different story. Sunday chapel 

attendees witnessed a glorious sunrise under crystal-clear skies, 

with crisp dry air. Only a few traces of dampness in Little Bend 

served as a reminder of Saturday’s deluge. The long-suffering 

corner workers under Joe McGlohen, drenched all day Saturday, 

found their endurance rewarded by dry conditions and 

sunshine on Sunday. 

To nobody’s surprise, initial run groups found a cold track 

and ran on cold tires, keeping speeds down for the first 

session—only. Our instructors “proofed” the Long Course to 

begin the second run session, which proved to be the harbinger 

of a wonderful morning and afternoon. 

As the Mavericks became the first group to run the Ranch’s 

extension, they were again challenged by track conditions—this 

time the dried remains of Saturday’s mudslides, which despite 

the best sweeping efforts of the Ranch Hands completely coated 

some sections of the Long Course. Fortunately, Bill’s morning 

briefing which counseled early caution was heeded by almost 

all, and only an unfortunate few coated their precious machines 

in red Texas mud! The first few runs cleared the line, and speeds 

and spirits rose wonderfully as the day wore on. Noon charity 

laps again profited young Abby as the Mavericks took a break 

from their ongoing (and now nearly completed) project to build 

a shelter for abused women and children. Again, the Ruf team 

led the way in the charity laps, showing the truly unforgettable 

panorama of three RUF creations leading the parade! 

David Gross of Hill Country Region warmed hearts by 

giving us another great event to look forward to with the March 

Club Race and DE at Texas World Speedway, and Lanean 

reminded us that there is another great DE season ahead at the 

Ranch, continuing April 8 and 9. 

TO BE CONTINUED…BY ALL THE MAVERICKS AND 

THEIR FAST FRIENDS! See you at the track!

Snow and Ice? Who Cares? 


By Cathy Howard 

I’ve had my license for six months and my parents encouraged me 

to do the Ladies/Teen Autocross and the Autocross 101 schools. At 

first I wasn’t too excited to do the schools because I don’t like 

driving and the weather was horrible. It never got above freezing the 

entire weekend. It was snowing and sleeting off and on the entire time. 

Saturday I was scared because I was driving my dad’s ’96 blue 

Miata. Since I don’t drive it normally I was afraid of messing the car up 

some how. My amazing instructor, Betty Perrine, came out in the horrible 

weather just for me. (Thank you, Betty! I really appreciate it!!) 

She was very helpful to a first timer like me. She showed me that hitting 

a cone and pushing the car was not going to hurt it. 

We started out with the braking exercises; I only locked up the 

brakes once that day. After that we worked on the skid pad, which I fell 

in love with! I could have done it all day, but since I couldn’t, I did it as 

much as possible. This was for sure my favorite thing to do. The first 

time Betty did the skid pad I got so dizzy I thought I wasn’t going to 

be able to do it. I knew I had to, so I took it slow the first couple times 

and then didn’t want to stop. 

We moved on to the slalom. I wasn’t a big fan of it, but it was still 

fun. The increasing was my favorite, followed by the evenly spaced, and 

then the decreasing. I had the most trouble with the decreasing, and it 

was also where I hit my first cone dead on. 

After our lunch from Jason’s Deli we started the autocross. Betty 

and I only walked the course once due to the weather. When I got into 

the driver’s seat I spun out for the first time ever in my life. It was a new 

feeling, but with all the practice I had done in the morning I knew it 

Students lining up for their Autocross laps . . . 

...Chuck Machala was eager to get out of the biting cold! 


Cathy Howard on a autocross run without Mitch “weighing” her down. 

was safe, my parents didn’t get to see it, but I got applauded by a ton 

of people who did. I’m normally an overcautious driver, but as soon as 

I could recognize the feeling of the back end coming around, I was 

addicted. 

Sunday I got a different instructor, Mitch Williams, who is more 

experienced with Miatas and taught me more about the car and its 

power. He also pushed me to go faster and not to listen to my “safety 

self” as he called it. It was hard to go faster, but I tried. The weather was 

still miserable, probably even worse because it had time to set in over 

night. In the morning I was in the second group so I started out with 

the slalom. The night before I told my parents that I didn’t want to go 

alone, just because I think that it would feel awkward not having 

someone telling me what to do, but after Mitch got done instructing 

his other student he talked me into going alone for the first time. Wow, 

did it feel different not having the extra weight and having to think for 

myself. After I did my first run Mitch got in the car and asked,“Do you 

want me to stay or get out?” I responded,“Get out!” I actually felt more 

comfortable going alone, even though I thought I wouldn’t. 

Moving on to the braking I did a lot better, I locked it up many 

times and other times I made a pretty good stop, with out locking it 

up. I was pretty proud of myself! Then I got to do the skid pad again. 

I was told many times that I was doing well, especially for just driving 

six months. After lunch we did the autocross, which was the same 

course from the day before. I lowered my time, spun out three times, 

and DNF’ed again. 

After doing these schools I feel more confident in my driving 

skills. I am actually kind of glad that the weather was how it was 

because I learned how to do all this in bad road conditions meaning 

that when it’s a nice day things will be easier. I have to send out a 

HUGE thanks to all the workers that stood out there in the cold for 

hours both days, if it wasn’t for all of you I never would have gotten 

this experience and learned so many things. I also want to send another 

HUGE thanks to my wonderful instructors for taking time out of 

their lives to help me. 

I am going to do a few autocrosses just because I finally understand 

what my mom means when she says it gets in your blood. I have 

a hard time resisting the urge to make the back end come out around 

when I go around a corner or a curve in my dad’s Miata, or even in my 

Saturn sometimes! Thank you to everyone who put the schools 

together! I really appreciate it!!

Hope Shelter Report . . . 

. . . It’s Almost Finished! 

By Lanean Hughes 

By the time y’all read this, the insulation 

will have been put in place. Several 

wonderful volunteers “toured” to Mineral 

Wells on March 25, to complete the insulation 

installation. The next step will be doing the 

ceiling and sheet rock. Fortunately, the Hope 

board has secured contractors to complete these 

projects. After that, we will be ready to start the interior 

painting. If you are interested in throwing on those “paint 

clothes,” please let us know and we will contact you when the 

date is set. 

I’d like to have a list of volunteers willing to help us 

finish the project to have the shelter ready for move in by July 1, 

2006. As stated in my previous article, we are also still taking cash 

donations to purchase paint, ceiling fans, and various other items 

needed. Let us know what you might have for donations. 

Please send me an e-mail to get on the volunteer list 

to assist us is finalizing the new Hope Shelter.

We, the committee, the Hope Board, and Hope 

Administrator see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The Best Value in Driver Training 

By Micky Ray 

Photo by Charlie Davis 

What is a late apex? How do you throttle steer a 911? 

What is trail braking? Is the line for a front engine 

car (e.g. 944) different from the line for a rear engine 

car (e.g. 911)? Prior to the Autocross/Time Trial school weekend 

I could not have answered these or a slew of other questions 

about high performance driving. 

The weekend was advertised as the best value in driver training, 

and in my opinion that was an understatement. For only $70 (I can’t 

even change my oil for $70) we got two days of individual 

instructor-led driving training and a lot of seat time, not to mention 

donuts in the morning and deli sandwiches at lunch. The amount 

of work put forth by the organizers and instructors was amazing, 

and resulted in a smooth running, fun weekend for all. 

Michael Fricke putting the car through its paces. 

Saturday, Time Trial 

Saturday was Time Trial 103. For the morning the field was 

divided into two sections, each running a different half of the 

normal time trial course. The class was divided into two groups, 

each running on a different section. One section emphasized 

coming from a late apex sweeper into a high-speed straight, 

followed by a relatively sharp hairpin. This section emphasized 

hitting the apex correctly in order to carry as much speed as possible 

into the straight as well as threshold braking in order to bleed off 

speed at the last possible moment before going into the turn. An 

interesting lesson for me was that my 1985 Carrera’s brakes far 

exceed the capabilities of my tires (great, now I need sticky tires). 

The other section of the morning concentrated on a more 

“curvy” section of the track, including the timing gate and the 

track entry point. Having autocrossed before, I found these parts 

of the course difficult to navigate due to the density of cones and 

the speed of the course, but my instructor did an excellent job of 

giving me pointers about how to keep my bearings and get 

through this section. 

After the morning training sessions we broke for a quick 

lunch (included in the price for the weekend!) while the course 

workers combined the two training sections into the full Time 

Trial course. The afternoon was spent again split up into two 

groups, however one group worked corners while the other drove. 

While nobody looks forward to working corners, we learned that 



The “pink ladies” took on an honorary member... 

being the first group to work affords the opportunity to watch the 

other cars and get a feel for what line works and what line does 

not, providing a distinct advantage at least for the section of the 

track that the worker can see (plus we got to see a BMW 330 spin 

3 times and punt a cone 30 yards). 

Sunday, Autocross 

Sunday was Autocross 102. This time the field was divided 

into three sections for the morning training, each covering 

different autocross challenges like slalom, skid pad, chicane, etc. 

Groups of about 10 cars trained on each section, spending about 

an hour on each part. 

Skid pads were something new to me, and learning to steer 

the car with only throttle input was a real thrill. I have a 

tendency to just push my front tires through turns, and my 

instructor spent a lot of time teaching me to steer the car with 

a combination of throttle as well as steering inputs, and 

consequently carry more speed (as well as preserve my front 

tires). The slalom section was also very interesting learning how 

to enter and exit slaloms with constant, decreasing, or increasing 

spacing without unsettling the car too much. 

Following lunch (again included), the field was reconfigured 

into a full autocross course. We split up into two groups again, 

and took turns working corners or driving. They had the timing 

lights set up, so I got to see my instructor’s time driving my car 

and compare it to my time. Turns out I’ve still got a lot to learn, 

Jan Mayo pointing the way... with style! 

24

ut I think after this weekend I have a good foundation to build 

on this season. 

Attending these classes was a very rewarding experience, if 

for nothing else than to have the opportunity to spin my 911 in a 

controlled environment. I always knew my car was capable of 

amazing things, and I was finally able to experience some of 

them. I also discovered that in the hands of an experienced 

driver my car is capable of much more than I had imagined. 

Thanks to everyone involved for putting on a great weekend, my 

instructor, Eric Erz for showing me what my car was capable of, 

and of course Porsche for building my car. Like they said, it’s not 

how fast you drive, it’s how you drive fast.

Happy Hour at Uncle Julio’s 

by Dennis Chamberlain 

This was our first event at Uncle Julio’s and it proved to be a 

great place for a happy hour. The staff was well organized, and 

the margaritas and food were superb. 

We had 36 attendees, 30 of whom stayed for dinner. New 

members included Marc Cabrera (2000 Carrera), Kevin Hughes 

(2002 Boxster S), and Loren Rappoport (2002 911). And as is 

sometimes the case, we had a visitor (Randy Evans) who wanted to 

mix and mingle in order to find out more about Porsches, to help 

him with an impending purchase. The enigmatic David McBee 

was also in attendance along with his old high school chum, Joe 

McGlohen. 

For our April 20 Happy Hour we’ll be heading back to my 

favorite German restaurant – the Bavarian Grill in Plano. Hope to 

see you there!
