The Inside Track 

by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President 

This is way off the usual subjects, but true. 

It's reported that a wise person once said 

of travel, “Take half the luggage and twice 

the money.” I would offer similar advice to any 

of you considering a future relocation. As you 

progress in your planned move, a number of 

truisms and strategies seem to evolve. 

During our recent move, we perfected this unique strategy. 

Go up in the attic, preferably when it's very hot and locate a 

heavy box marked “Keep, baby stuff, awards, Grandma's good 

china (your choice, pick one or more).” Bring it down the 

wobbly folding ladder without dropping it or breaking your 

leg. Move it, or better yet, pay to have it moved to a rented off 

site storage area. When ready, same deal in reverse, move it or 

pay to have it moved to the new location. Carry from room to 

room looking for an empty spot to set it down. Ideally, put it 

where you can trip over it for several days before opening. 

When it's time to cut it open, it's best if you and your significant 

other do this together. That way, when you unveil the 

contents you can both exclaim in unison “Why the h... did we 

move this piece of junk?” Repeat this several times over the 

next few days. This is a wonderful way to test the strength 

of your relationship. 

Even if you aren't planning to move for over a year - start 

thinning out your stuff now! It is never too early, ask me how 

I know. Something else that seems to inevitably occur, the 

closer to the actual move date, the less specific the labels on the 

boxes. Early on, a label might read, master closet, ten polo 

shirts, 4 short sleeve, yellow, white navy and tan, 6 long sleeve, 

red, yellow, etc. This is marked both on the top and side of the 

box with heavy black marker for easy identification when boxes 

are stacked. The night before the actual move the box is likely 

marked “stuff” with crayola, lipstick, whatever. 

When the big day finally arrives and you are actually 

moving in to your new digs, another fun thing happens. As 

stuff rolls off the moving van, the helpful movers want to be 

sure to put things where you want them. Some decisions are 

easy, but inevitably one room becomes the “I don't know” 

room. “Where do you want this gizmo lady?” I don't know, 

just put it in the ....... 

There is lots more fun information I could share, but I'm 

saving that for my new book “Adventures in Moving,” or “How 

I stopped worrying and learned to love my U-Haul.” 

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. 

February is a great start to our driving season, so I hope to see 

you at one of our schools or at the DE. 

Congratulations to the 2006

Maverick Minutes 

by Jan Mayo 

The first board meeting of 2006 started around 

7-ish (I don't have a watch) with the following 

folks in attendance. Pres Rocky Johnson, 

Secretary Jan Mayo, Treasurer Jeff Atkins, Chairpeople 

Brian Petri, Bill Dawson, Dennis Chamberlain, Joel 

Nannis, Joe McGlohen, Mike Brodigan, Lanean Hughes, 

Tracey Gross, Tom Snodgrass, Editor Wendy Shoffit, DE 

Registrar Michael Wingfield and guest Marie. The 2006 board 

meetings will continue to be held at Hackberry Creek Country Club. 

Rocky Johnson called the meeting to order with a resounding 

Happy New Year and that he had received a Thank You from Steve Boyd 

for the congratulations on his new baby boy, Matthew. 

Lanean Hughes commented on the Holiday Party held at the 

Hope Shelter and read one of the many Thank You notes she had 

received from the mothers and their children. Being concerned about 

the fires reported at Mineral Wells and the airport she learned that 

indeed the fires had spread around the airport but no airport buildings 

were affected. However the trailer park next to the entrance road to the 

airport was badly affected and a lot of the surrounding grass areas are 

now toasted. Unfortunately the old Bob Ande timing trailer was 

totally untouched. Lanean attended the funeral service for Gerald 

Horne, the Boardwalk mechanic who recently passed away due to 

cancer. The board and the region's heartfelt condolences go out 

to Boardwalk, Gerald's friends and his family. 

Social chair Tracey Gross corrected the Founder's Day date on the 

2006 from Nov 18 to Nov 11. Discussion ensued and other corrections 

were made concerning DE and Club Race dates of other regions in zone 

5. Wendy will monitor the printed and web calendars to hopefully 

keep them both updated and reported correctly in Slipstream. Tracey 

reported on the Holiday Party held at the Lewis home. Clara told 

her there were no spills on the carpets and they were thrilled to have 

been hosts. The New Member Party planning is in full swing. She 

requested $1500 for basic expenses and food and drinks. Motion made 

and passed. She also reminded all committee chairs they are 

responsible for manning their information table during the party. The 

Wine Tasting has 10 people paid up so far. 

Driving Schools chair Tom Snodgrass has had one team meeting 

and has a second planned for the AX/TT school events. They are 

keeping the same format as last year keeping the Ladies day first but will 

include teens in this Saturday group. This is a smaller more casual day 

that should give more driving time to the teens. Ladies and teens are 

welcome and encouraged to return for AX 101 the following day. This 

February 18/19 weekend event will be held at Pennington Field. TT103 

and AX102 will be held March 3/4 at Mineral Wells. The schools will 

be $35 for on time Maverick members and $45 for non-Maverick folks. 

School attendees will be given a coupon for a free AX or TT which will 

be good for 2006. Treasurer Jeff had a question/concern about using 

PayPal for the schools. Wendy, Jeff and James will work out the details. 

Editor Wendy Shoffit said the January issue was bound today and 

should hit the mail in the next day or two. Holiday timings impacted 

getting it finished on her intended time frame. She needs some articles 

for Febuary issue on the Holiday Party as well as the Hope Shelter party 

and asked Dennis Chamberlain for ads for the next upcoming events. 

Email, phone and address corrections for the Board, Officers and 

Chairs page were provided and she will update. Wendy will check with 

James to be sure the @mavpca.org emails auto forward is updated for 

the changed chairs. James and Andy Mears will be working on the 

Directory and questioned whether the full addresses need to be 

included or would just the city/state be sufficient. Space, number of 

pages and font size are being discussed for the next Directory. The 

board thinks the full address is good to have. The directory may have 

to increase 4 pages so the font size can be larger. 

Secretary Jan Mayo is working with advertiser Bobby Archer on 

procuring 4 loaner helmets for the Truxster. The 1995 helmets are out 

of date this year. Charlie Davis brought the fire extinguishers from the 

Truckster to Mayo Performance so they can be evaluated for recharging 

or replacement. Charlie is making contact with a couple of places for 

that service. Mark Gluck asked me to give his report in his absence that 

insurance for January is in hand. 

Autocross chair Brian Petri was next and he was going to ask about 

the status of the helmets and fire extinguishers so with that already 

covered he says that we will need to buy a tank of propane for the street 

sweeper guy to continue to sweep the Mineral Wells course. 

DE chair Bill Dawson said they are looking forward to using the 

new track. The new online registration is going well with lots of 

compliments. The DE team is very pleased with the job Michael 

Wingfield has done. While on the DE topic Joe McGlohen asked for up 

to $4500 for comer worker gear for the stations on the new course. 

Last month he said it could be as much as $7000 so this request passed. 

Happy Dennis Chamberlain (Happy Hour that is!) said that not 

even the holidays slowed down the 48 Happy folks showing up at 

Champps last month. January 19 will be the next Happy Hour at Salt 

Grass on MacArthur and LBJ. 

Membership chair Joel Nannis will not be at the New Member 

party because that's his mother's 90th birthday. That sounded pretty 

important so we'll make his excuses to the new members. 

DE Registrar Michael Wingfield is also happy with the way the 

new online registration is going. He reported that some of the run 

groups have already passed the number allowed for the smaller track 

so if the long track is unavailable the DE team will have to work out a 

solution. 

Safety chair Joe McGlohen will be at the Schools and also plans to 

be at the first TT and AX events. He wants to spend some time with AX 

Brian and TT Bryan prior to the start of the season. 

Treasurer Jeff Atkins has received only a few budgets back from the 

various chairs. Rather than embarrass those that have not turned theirs 

in (you know who you are) he thanked the few who have responded. 

He would like to prepare a full budget for 2006 so needs this 

information from everyone soon. 

Mike Brodigan still has a few advertisers contracts outstanding. 

Rocky asked if we increase the number of pages in Slipstream (Wendy 

gulped) would Mike be able to increase the advertisers to help offset 

some of the cost. Mike has not worked on that thought yet. 

Meeting adjourned and after just a few hugs and conversation I 

was in my car by 8:10 (remember, no watch). Remember if you are 

going to attend the next board meeting, Feb 7, we need your rsvp so we 

can reserve the appropriate room.

From The Driver’s Seat 

by Wendy Shoffit, Slipstream Managing Editor 

I’m sure many of you are wondering why in the 

heck Slipstream keeps getting to you so late. Well, 

to be honest with you, so am I. As I write this, it’s 

the 18th of January and just today I received my copy 

in the mail. TODAY!!! 

Slipstream was printed and bound, ready for the 

mail house on the 3rd of the month (even after two 

holiday breaks). Where it’s spent the last 15 days? I honestly can’t tell 

you. What I can tell you, though, is that I’m on it. I’m asking 

questions and asking for solutions. It’s unacceptable to me to put in 

all this work to advertise events, but then it gets to you too late to 

attend. That’s one of the reasons we list in events two months in 

advance. So, please pay attention to the ads as you never know when 

the newsletter will magically appear in your mailbox. Please know 

that we’re doing our best to get it to you quickly and completely. 

While you wait for the printed version to get to you, the online 

version is available sometimes even before the ink is dry. Oh, and did 

I mention that it’s in *COLOR*??!! All these great event pictures... all 

the event ads... beautifully presented in color for your enjoyment. So, 

if you get impatient like me, check it out online http://mav.pca.org 

and look under Newsletter. Not only will you find this month’s issue, 

but you’ll find all of them dating back to 2002! So, if you’re a 

“newbie” and want to read some history about your favorite club, 

that’s a great place to start.

This month’s issue was a good time to play “catch up”with some 

great articles that I haven’t been able to fit in before now. I hope you 

enjoy reading about the Staffords’ weekend adventure in Atlanta 

trying to win the Club Coupe. Did they win it? There’s only one way 

to find out... 

You may also be asking yourself... who is this kid and why is he 

in my Slipstream? Well, this so happens to be Mr. Ryan Lane Sears 

learning how to drive a Porsche early... his proud papa, Cody, won 

this treasure (the car, not the kid) at Founders’ Day. Now, that’s what 

I call enjoying the view from the driver’s seat - and at such a young 

age! People, take heed. *smile* 

Ryan Sears - future ALMS champion, for sure with fast daddy DNA.

And a Good Time Was Had by All (Holiday Party) 

By Tracey Gross 

This past year’s Holiday Party was an enormous success! Bob 

and Clara Lewis graciously opened up their beautiful home 

for the evening’s festivities and had everything thoughtfully 

planned out. Their daughter, Cindy, and two of her college-aged kids 

even provided shuttle service for us; how luxurious was that? 

We had a beautiful dining room to set out the appetizers. We 

then moved into their enormous kitchen for the entrees provided by 

Smokin’ Joe. (For the past several years Joe McGlohen has spent

asked if he could submit a receipt for his new gigantic HDTV as a 

“party expense,” but I told him that if that worked then Ed and I 

would be hosting next year! 

There aren’t many of us with a house large enough to accommodate 

100+ people, but the Bob and Clara pulled it off. They have 

the perfect design that flows well and allowed everyone plenty of 

space. They even had a cool chiminea-type fireplace set up on their 

huge patio so that people could get some fresh air without freezing! 

Everyone had a wonderful time, and we all appreciate Bob 

and Clara opening up their home and hosting such a lovely 

evening for us. 

countless hours pre-smoking the fabulous meats for this party.) 

Early that morning, Joe arrived at the Lewis’ to set up his smokers 

and began his final preparations! By the time Ed and I arrived early 

to “help with last minute details” everything was already done! 

We had a great turnout of folks who came and enjoyed the fun 

and fellowship. Each of them generously donated unopened gifts for 

the children at the Hope Shelter. The gifts were plentiful and made 

for a great party the following day at the shelter. 

The inside joke of the evening was about how Clara and Bob 

decided back in April to redo their kitchen. Through the ensuing 

months their “project” snowballed into redecorating their entire 

house! Then they had the pressure of trying to get everything 

finished before the party. I think the final touches were done the day 

before the party! How’s that for timing? Of course, Bob cleverly

Our Hope Holiday 

By Lanean Hughes 

The “Silver Sleigh” (a beautiful Cayenne loaned by Boardwalk 

Porsche) headed to Mineral Wells with driver and co-pilot, Lanean 

and Clara, loaded with toys and goodies for the staff, women, and 

children at the Hope Shelter. We were met on the outskirts of Mineral 

Wells by more Maverick Elves, who added to the festive outing. 

At the NEW shelter we found anxious children awaiting the arrival 

of the gifts from Mavericks to give them a wonderful Christmas to 

remember for a long time. It was exciting for us to be in the new shelter. 

Although it’s not completed yet, it’s getting there. There was a beautiful 

Christmas tree all decorated and the staff had prepared wonderful food 

for us all. Jean Frick brought her violin and played the traditional 

Christmas carols, much to the joy of the children and adults alike. In fact 

one Mom asked if Jean could return at bedtime to play and put her 

children to sleep. 

We realize with each year how blessed we are. Being able to share 

some of what we have with these mothers and children is a great gift.You 

will see a letter from one of the moms who we have helped make a 

difference in her life. They now have a new life and that’s what this is 

all about. Sharing with others and helping them start anew. Our 

contributions to Hope and the soon-to-open new facility shows 

dedication by our members and their extended families to making this a 

reality. Note all the great pictures and remember we will soon be asked to

Autocross Classes Go on a Diet 

by Lisa Steele 

The full set of rules is available on our 

website: http://mav.pca.org 

(under “Events” --> “AX/TT”) 

Anew year means new changes. Whether we want to change 

our eating habits, work out more to help shed those extra 

holiday pounds, or to budget our money just a little better 

for the upcoming year, we always tell ourselves we need to do things 

differently to improve our lives for the New Year. Well, I am very 

anxious for our Autocross and Time Trial season to begin because 

there have been some exciting new changes made to the rules and 

classifications to improve the overall competition factor and to 

make things “just FUN!” 

The Rules Committee sat down several months ago and 

decided to make some necessary changes in the way we have been 

classifying or grouping cars at our events. After all, there were 

some of us in a class by ourselves or our only competition was 

our spouse (this can cause trouble at home at times). Don’t get 

me wrong, I love the beautiful trophies at the end of the season, 

but I like to feel like I have truly earned that trophy the fun, 

competitive way. 

I happen to be the Lady Representative of the group, AKA 

“the cheerleader” for the new changes. My job was very clear from 

the beginning…understand everything that was being said and 

be able to explain it clearly in a very simplistic, second grade 

teacher way. Wow, was I ever in for a shock! After Charlie Davis 

and James Shoffit did all their technical stuff (and I mean overthe-top, 

no-clue-what-they’re-doing technical stuff), I looked to 

Bryan Bell and Brian Petri for clarification. After I narrowed 

down their interpretation of the information, I simply screamed! 

But after all is said and done and all the enormous amounts 

of data were entered and the formulas were tweaked, the 

information that we will input about our cars is relatively very 

simple (really, no more screaming from me…just cheering). We 

will be using a new online car class calculator that does the work 

for you once you have entered some information about your car. 

This worksheet will be a web- based application that will be 

posted on the Maverick website. 

All of the changes that have been made to the Rules will be 

clearly explained at the Autocross schools in February and March, 

but the main purpose of this article is to give you some insight as 

to what to expect. First, the classes have been shrunk from 51 

classes to 10 classes, which means that most people can expect to 

move down a couple of classes from where they were last year. For 

example, our 944S2 racecar was in class 6 last year, but once I 

inputted my modifications on the car class calculator, I will be in 

class 4 this year and if I’m not mistaken, the Shoffits will also be 

in class 4…see what I mean about having some competition? 

Second, The Ladies can choose to compete in one indexed class 

with all other participating ladies OR they can compete against 

the men within their class. Cool, huh! 

You’re probably wondering how the classes were condensed 

so significantly. The old rules had 3 sets of classes that 

included Showroom Stock (classes 1 thru 17), Ladies (classes 1 

thru 17), and Everything Else (classes 1 thru 17). The new 10 

classes will be a smooth progression of performance in a way that 

matches equivalent cars. Therefore, we now have stock and modified 

cars of all levels competing together. As with any changes, 

the Rules Committee does anticipate a few problems and will 

monitor the results and revise as necessary. 

My favorite change is how the Top Driver Male and Top 

Driver Female will be determined. We are going to have a down 

and dirty, good ol’ fashioned Runoff. Yes, a Runoff…I can’t wait! 

Basically, the lowest scoring 10 men and 10 ladies will qualify for 

the Top Driver Runoff. The club will obtain a Porsche that is not 

owned by any of the qualifying entrants. Then those 10 men and 

10 ladies will have three timed runs on a newly designed 

Autocross course and the fastest man and the fastest lady of the 

day will be designated Top Driver. I am so EXCITED! Okay, now 

back to that New Year’s resolution of budgeting money 

better…Hoosier’s or Toyo’s ? 

The 2006 Rules Committee are: 

Brian Petri, Autocross Chair 

Bryan Bell, Time Trial Chair 

Charlie Davis, Retired Truck Driver 

James Shoffit, Timing Guru

Club Coupe Weekend 

Photo provided by Mike & Maria Stafford 

By Mike & Maria Stafford 

In early summer I entered the contest for the 911 Club Coupe 

giveaway. I had read about the contest in Panorama. On 

September 19th I received an overnight letter delivered by 

FEDEX from Young America Corporation. The letter was a congratulation 

letter informing me as a contest winner. There was no mention 

of Porsche on the letter or the envelope. I was not sure if this was 

junk mail or real, so I phoned the 800 number on the letter. Young 

America is the contest company for Porsche. They informed me I 

was one of the three runners-up for the 911 Anniversary Club 

Coupe. Wow! What a total surprise. One of three from all of the 

contestants. I was to learn latter that the other two winners called 

their local clubs to confirm whether the letter was official or not. 

I sent my notarized documents confirming our eligibility. On 

September 26th I received our flight documents and the weekend’s 

itinerary. As a winner I received an all expenses paid trip from 

Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) for a four day / three night trip, 

round trip airfare, hotel accommodations, rental car, $300.00 

spending money and race tickets to the ALMS Petit Lemans at Road 

Atlanta Sept. 29 - Oct 2. The Hotel was the Grand Hyatt in Atlanta. 

The rental car turned out to be our personal use of a Porsche Cayenne 

S. Each of the other runners-up received a Cayenne S, as well. 

Maria and Mike with the loaner Cayennes. 

On September 29th we arrived in Atlanta and took a cab to the 

Grand Hyatt. After we checked into our room we received a bottle of 

champagne on ice delivered from PCNA along with a welcome letter 

from Jack Bair, PCNA facilitator. Jack is the person who handled all 

the arrangements for the three runners-up and PCNA. Jack is a very 

competent and dedicated representative of PCNA. He left nothing 

undone the entire weekend. At 7pm that evening we met Jack and 

the other two runners-up in the hotel lobby. They were Garrett 

Burch from Pennsylvania and Clif Rosenberry from New York. We 

received a package containing the keys and race tickets for the 

weekend. From the hotel we all then walked a short distance to 

Bone's Restaurant. There we were met by Lee Newton (PCNA 

Marketing) and Tom and Eleanor Bobbitt. Tom is the PCA Club 

President. We had a wonderful evening visiting with our new friends 

and a very good steak dinner. Dinner was compliments of PCNA. 

After dinner we returned to the hotel for a night of rest. On Friday 

morning we drove the one hour trip to Road Atlanta where we met 



The Club Coupe 

up with the other two runners-up and Jack, Lee and Tom at the 

Porscheplatz. This was a tented area for the weekend’s events and the 

display of the Anniversary 911 Club Coupe. The day was very busy. 

We walked the paddock area in the morning and later returned to 

Porscheplatz for lunch and guest speakers. In attendance were race 

drivers Bobby Rahal, Chip Robinson, Doc Bundy, Dick Barber, and 

Rob Dyson. From Porsche racing was Norbert Singer (engineer) and 

Uwe Brettel (PMNA President). 

After lunch, the day was ours. We returned to Porscheplatz at 

5:30 pm to line up for laps around Road Atlanta. There were 

approximately 100 other PCAers there to drive the course. We did 

three laps around the track. It was a lot of fun in the Cayenne. We 

lowered the ride height on the Cayenne. It did very well around the 

track. We felt as if we could have competed the day of the race! We 

returned to Porscheplatz for a barbecue dinner provided by J-3 

Racing. J-3 is a local Porsche race team. In attendance were the 

team’s owner and two drivers who answered questions and talked 

about the team’s activities. Very informative. J-3 also gave away door 

prizes. We returned to the hotel about 9:00pm. 

Saturday morning finally arrived. That was the big day. The 

drawing for the Club Coupe was to be at 9:45am at the Porscheplatz. 

Better that it was sooner rather than later. We met the other runners- 

Mike and Maria, Clif & Andy Rosenberry (NY), and Garrett Burch (PA) 

20

up in the hotel lobby about 6 am. We drove our Cayennes' across the 

street to Caribou Coffee (similar to Starbucks). From there it was 

coffee to go. We caravaned to Road Atlanta and arrived about 7:30 am. 

We walked the area trying not to think about the coming event. Not 

possible while thinking about ownership of a new Club Coupe. That 

would be fantastic. The time finally arrived. Jack,Tom and Lee stood 

across from the three of us. They had in their possession a car key 

inside a special blue Club Coupe hat. Three hats and three keys. One 

for the lucky winner. The other keys were Jack and Lee’s 911s. I took 

mine from Tom. Clif from Jack. Garrett from Lee. I was elected to go 

first. I turned the key. Nothing. I pushed in the clutch. Nothing. That 

was my moment of fame. No car for me that day! Next was Clif. He 

turned the key. VROOM! The engine ran. That lucky dog. The car was 

his. Clif and his wife Andy were most excited. In attendance for the 

contest were Speed TV, Panorama and Excellence magazines. Upon 

returning our keys to Jack and Lee we asked jokingly if we could keep 

the keys to look for the other two 911s. Of course they said no. But 

Garrett and I won again. Jack and Lee arranged a complimentary 

two-day driving school at the Porsche Driving Experience in Alabama 

as our consolation prize. WOW! What a way to start the racing day. 

After all the contest events we were treated to a most fun 10-hour Petit 

Lemans race. The race started at 11:45 am and ran until about 8:30 

pm. There were a lot of action and lead changes throughout the race. 

This was our first experience seeing night racing. The car lights and 

the glowing brakes make for exciting racing. We returned to the hotel 


late that evening. Sunday morning it was time to pack and return 

home. Our flight arrived at DFW around 1 pm. What a fantastic and 

fun weekend. Although I did not win the Club Coupe, I was a winner 

after all. The racing activities, Porsche Driving Experience, winning 

the trip for two, and most importantly all the fine people involved. We 

made many new friends from PCA and PCNA. PCNA, we cannot say 

enough. They took care of everything as did PCA. As the saying goes 

“It’s not the cars, it’s the people!” The weekend was evident of that.

Belt Basics 

By William Middleton 

Ever wonder why you frequently see in tour instructions and 

other such information the note “bring spare belt---?” For 

some, one of the most overlooked items in any car are the 

rubber belts that drive cooling fans, alternators, air conditioning, 

power steering pumps, water pumps, and a host of other items 

needing engine power. 

In the case of all the air cooled Porsches, the alternator/cooling 

fan belt is of CRITICAL importance. Not only does this belt drive 

the alternator, it also is the ONLY source for engine cooling, as the 

air cooling fan is directly attached to the alternator shaft, and driven 

by the same belt. Neglecting this belt can result in a form of tragedy 

not easily comprehended – engine meltdown, literally! 

I have recently had experiences with two common problems 

related to the alternator/cooling belt and associated items on my 

1986 930, and wanted to share them with others to hopefully prevent 

someone else sharing in the same grief. 

The first item has to do with adjusting the belt tension. As most 

know, Porsche does not utilize any form of idler pulley system to 

adjust the belt tension in these cars. The sheave (formal name for the 

pulley) on the alternator shaft is of the split adjustable depth type, 

and tension is set by adjusting the spacing between the sheave halves. 

The wider the gap between the adjustable side of the sheave and the 

fixed side (the cooling fan side), the deeper down in the groove the 

belt runs, and the slacker the belt. Conversely, the closer the halves are 

together, the higher the belt rides, and the tighter the belt is. 

Adjustment is fairly simple, but it does have pitfalls. The gap 

between the fixed side (cooling fan) and adjustable side is made by 

inserting spacers (washers) in between the removable half and the 

fan. Spacers not used between the halves to adjust spacing are placed 

on the alternator shaft on the outside of the adjustable sheave and are 

CRITICAL to getting proper tension – do NOT remove or store the 

‘spare’ washers from the system! The spacers placed on the outside of 

the adjustable half are placed over the keyed fan hub, and under a 

special dished washer and shaft nut that holds it all together. 

The pitfall comes about when placing the spacers on the outside 

of the pulley. The fixed (fan) side is a keyed assembly, with a matching 

keyhole in the adjustable half, so that they both turn together. It is 

possible to not get the washers seated properly on the keyed portion of 

the shaft, and complete the assembly not knowing the problem is there. 

The result is pretty bad news. The adjustable side, not being 

under proper and even tension due to the offset spacers, will cause 

the belt to try to turn the adjustable side separate of the fan, and 

cause the keyhole on the adjustable side to ‘dig’ into the soft metal of 

the key on the fan, ruining it and requiring replacement. 

It is ESSENTIAL when placing the washers on the outside of the 

adjustable sheave to make sure they are fully seated around the keyed 

shaft to avoid this damage. Using a small mirror, it is possible to 

check to make sure the spacers are fully underneath the cup washer 

and uniformly centered BEFORE you tighten the alternator shaft nut 

down! If the spacers appear off centered, remove the nut and cup 

washer, realign the washers, and reinstall the cup washer and nut. 

The second problem has to do with the alternator mounting 

ring and fan shroud assembly. This assembly serves two purposes – 

it is the fan’s intake duct, and also supports the alternator and carries 

all the tension and loads developed by the drive belt. 

The problem is the metal used to make this assembly. It is a lightweight, 

very porous, aluminum alloy of some type. As such, it has 

little flexibility and strength and is prone to cracking. The alternator 

support ring at the center of this casting is carried by four struts that 

also serve as vanes to direct air flow across the motor from the fan. 

Because the alternator support ring carries the alternator at its 

rear relative to the place where belt tension is imposed, there is 

significant pressure presented to the support vanes that carry the 

alternator support ring. Over time, the bottom vane (which receives 

the most tension from the belt) will crack, fail, and eventually allow 

the fan to come into contact with the outer ring. The resulting noise 

(and damage) are without earthly equal. 

Just replace the damaged part, you say – but oh, trembling 

checkbook! This seemingly small and unsophisticated metal casting 

will shoot holes in all but the tattered remnants of a cool $1G! OK, 

so repair it – again, thwarted by the above mentioned metallurgy. 

This alloy, while being very light and at the same time fairly strong, 

is very porous – and holds dirt, grime, oils, and as such is not cleanable 

to a degree allowing for welding. It also is not strong enough to 

allow for drilling/tapping/bolting, and cracks instead of bends. 

Finding good used parts is an option, as I was fortunate enough 

to do, but the best option is to keep track of belt tension and DO NOT 

over tense the belt! As a reminder of how much the metals in this 

whole system expand, check your belt tension dead cold, then drive 

the car until it’s fully heated up good – and check it again. You will be 

amazed at how much this belt tightens just due to metals expansion. 

This is one time when a little bit more tension is NOT a good 

idea! If you are in doubt about how to properly set the belt tension, 

or properly assemble the ‘stack’ of spacers, adjustable pulley half, 

outside spacers and other parts used to make the adjustment, seek 

sound assistance from a good Porsche mechanic – the cost of doing 

it wrong is much worse than the little investment in having someone 

show you how to do it right, or do it right for you.

Happy Hour at Champps 

by Dennis Chamberlain 

Idon’t know where everybody came from. We were surprised to 

have almost 50 attendees at the December 15 happy hour at 

Champp’s Americana Grill in Addison. We’d had our fabulous 

Christmas party just a week before at Bob and Clara Lewis’ house, 

and Christmas was just ten days away, but our club was ready to 

“party on” and I was powerless to stop it. Part of the attraction was 

Champp’s menu, which is tremendously diverse. 

New members Alex and Cindy Tayem came in from Rockwall 

in their new black 2006 911S. Roger and Judy Tollefson have been 

members for a little over a year, but this was their first happy hour. 

Roger piloted his 1992 968 all 

the way from Argyle. Mark 

Jones and Donson Brooks were 

also attending their first happy 

hour. 

For our February 16th 

happy hour we’re trying a new 

place – Uncle Julio’s at Dallas 

Parkway at Keller Springs. Hope 

to see you there!
