The Inside Track 

by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President 

It would be too much to call it an embarrassment 

of riches, but there is no doubt that the 

track situation continues to improve in the area. 

By now, most of us have had the opportunity to 

drive the new expanded track at MotorSport Ranch 

and the consensus has been "Wow, this is great!" Of 

course, the new MSR Houston facility has added 

another new option within a reasonable drive time. 

The track in Slidell, north of Denton is moving dirt 

and is targeting an opening early next year. Jay Walker has posted 

information about the facility on the MRPCA chat board. 

To add to the possibilities, it looks like Racers Ranch, east of 

Terrell is coming to fruition, as well. This 1566 acre shared ranch 

concept is being spearheaded by two of or own Maverick members, 

Dan Gage and Bill Georgas. The plans call for a 3.25 mile road 

racing course that is currently being designed by the noted race 

course architect, Alan Wilson of Wilson Motor Sports. The track 

will be fashioned similar to Wilson's other designs in North 

America like the Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, 

Alabama. I have driven the property with Bill and Dan and I can 

tell you that it is a fantastic piece of land. Certainly the potential is 

there for an outstanding facility. A temporary sales office is already 

under construction and should be ready soon. I'm confident Bill 

and Dan would be happy to provide more details when you see 

them. 

When it comes to race tracks, it's just like love, money, and 

dessert-it's hard to have too much of a good thing.

Maverick Minutes 

by Jan MayoRocky 

patiently waited for me to finish eating 

before calling the meeting to order on Tuesday, 

May 2 at Hackberry Creek. Wendy said it was 5 

after 7. He starts by saying Brian Petri has resigned 

from his Autocross chair position. Bryan Bell will take 

up the slack for the time being. Bryan continued with 

his report that the autocross/time trial weekend last 

week had a good turnout and great weather. There were some issues 

with inexperienced workers not knowing what to do on their corners 

and inexperienced drivers not being able to find their way around the 

course. The Autocross rules committee had a meeting last week and has 

evolved into the autocross/time trial event committee with some 

additional members; Shelly Burbank & Mike Lockas for workers, 

Darron Shaffer as timing and Wendy Shoffit as registrar. They will 

create guidelines for safe and effective corner working and have it posted 

on the Maverick website as well as have some standard instruction each 

event. They will also look into a way for every new-to-Maverick driver 

to have an instructor ride at the beginning of every event. Bill Dawson 

commented that at the BMWDE/Club Race last weekend he heard 

several positive comments about our autocross program. 

Lanean Hughes (acting for Treasurer Jeff Atkins) picked up 

receipts for anyone that needed checks. We all pitched in. She has 33 

registered for the Club Race on Memorial Day weekend and most of 

them are out of region. She expects that when the local guys get their 

registrations in that everything will be great. The Hope Shelter is 

going great. Sheet rock should be finished this week and then she'll be 

calling for help to paint. Stay tuned. 

Lanean is also involved with the Grand Prix of Houston and 

has 8 Mavericks who have volunteered to help. She's also heard from 

PCA-ers from Lone Star Region and Mardi Gras Region. She's 

looking forward to the event knowing it will be great. 

Teri Davis has had a request from the Red River Triumph Club 

to rent our rally clocks. We have 4 clocks but one is shot. Bob Benson 

will coordinate delivery of the clocks and instruction on running 

them properly. Since she's not planning a TSD rally this summer 

there will be no problem with letting them be rented out. 

Charlie Davis continued the autocross discussion that Bryan Bell 

started. He explained his intention for the afternoon run sets to be 

"less serious" and there would be hats and patches as awards. He's 

calling it the AX PPF Challenge but I have no idea what PPF stands 

for. He has a plan for lumping everyone together and indexing the 

results. Remember Charlie is a retired engineer and needs some 

complicated mathematical challenge to occupy his mind. Charlie had 

taken a group picture at the last event and will make a nice 8X10 for 

Nancy to hang in the lobby of Barris Italian Restaurant in Mineral 

Wells. Members of our group are her favorite customers and she 

wants to display our smiling faces. Charlie will take another picture 

this weekend and pick the best looking crowd. 

Dennis Chamberlain said the last Happy Hour was disappointingly 

small. Normally the Bavarian Grill is a big draw but the evening 

had very threatening weather. He also commented that there were no 

new members and the prior month only had 1. They will readdress 

getting the message out to the new folks. May Happy Hour will be 

at Hunan Dynasty in Irving and June is at Go Fish. Both are entertaining 

& popular places. Dennis apologized for a couple errors on 

some of the Slipstream event ads and used the flimsy excuse of tax 

season having him a little busy. Seems he had the same excuse last 

year. He forgot to run the ads by Tracey before handing them over to 

Wendy. 

Michael Wingfield has been seeing a trend towards slow 

registrations for the DE's since last fall. He's not sure if it's saturation 

or gas prices or something else. The May Club Race weekend has a 

very low registration but he is expecting a spike at the last minute. 

Bill Dawson was really excited about the April DE. He expects a 

small profit even with the drop in numbers from the February event. 

He's very pleased with the added reliability and effectiveness of the 

radio transmitter that Joe McGlohen and the guys from the track 

installed in the tower prior to this event. Communication with the 

new areas had been spotty and the new system worked well. 

Wendy Shoffit repeated that the last Autocross was great. 

Jumping to Slipstream... Timely distribution continues to be a 

problem with many board members getting their April issue after the 

20th. May issue is already on it's way to Tri-Win so she will get the 

distribution of the June issue moved to the Fort Worth mail center. 

She's thrilled with the directory and gives all the credit to Kevin 

Hardison. She has a box of directories for Joel Nannis to give to new 

members. The front cover information will be great for them to see a 

brief description of our activities. She has sent two 2005 issues in for 

the national newsletter competition. If Slipstream wins an award this 

year she asked me to pick up the trophy as she will unfortunately not 

be able to be there. As always she is asking for articles and ad 

information for upcoming events. She will be looking for some Tech 

articles, too, so if you're techy and have something to say, write it 

down & send it in. You get your own by-line! She also will be looking 

for someone to write about the Club Race weekend and always 

loves photos. 

Jan Mayo has the new loaner helmets purchased from advertiser 

Bobby Archer and will get them to the track for this weekend's time 

trial. Discussion went on to the bylaws voting held at the April DE. 

Concern at there being a quorum present resulted in figuring out how 

many Mavericks were in attendance over the weekend. Results of this 

and the vote counts will be forthcoming. 

Tracey Gross (as Ed) said that he has talked with the Club Race 

scrutineer and will be handling tech inspection. He also continues to 

work with Steve Boyd on getting the Goodie Store put on the website. 

Tracey has things all lined up for May at Mayo's and the Father's 

Day picnic. The Father's Day picnic unfortunately is one of the ads 

that has an error stating it's on Saturday, but it's really Sunday. Please 

don't show up at Dan and Linda's too early! Joel Nannis will be doing 

the concours and Mike/Michele DeJong will be playing all the kids 

games (with the kids of course). Other than the picnic which has no 

entry fee Tracey will use PayPal for all registrations for future events. 

The Goodie Store has bought a gross of koozies with the Maverick 

logo and will have them for sale at drivng events, Happy Hours, and 

other future events. Stock up, they're cheap & it supports the region! 

It's finally Rocky's turn for the floor but first Wendy wants to say 

that James did buy the new timing laptop and it's just great. Then 

Charlie jumped in with another comment that one of the two bar 

code readers is kaput and the other one is questionable. He and Rocky 

then had a discussion about getting a remote speaker system at 

Mineral Wells so the corner workers can hear the lap times which 

prompted Wendy to wonder whether the speaker system will be there 

at all and how was the posting person going to hear the times, much 

less the corner workers. 

At this point everyone started wandering off and I was out of paper 

so the official meeting is officially over. Wonder if Rocky had anything 

he wanted to say??

From The Driver’s Seat 

by Wendy Shoffit, Slipstream Managing Editor 

Here’s a riddle for you... What do you get 

when you mix a vacation to Disney World 

with a crashed hard drive? The answer? A 

late issue of Slipstream! With a restored hard 

drive (all nice and clean now) in hand and 

Minnie Mouse ears in place, here it is. 

We’re about to come into a time of the year 

where the driving and outdoor activities are lessened. The 

Texas heat gets us every summer. Look, though, in this issue for 

some other fun opportunities. Personally, I’m looking forward 

to the Murder Mystery Dinner Theater and Texas Rangers 

game in July. What fun those will be! 

Before the July events come about, one of my favorites is 

THIS month! James and I are both really looking forward to 

the Father’s Day Picnic. If you haven’t already put this one on 

your to do list, do it now. For you gearheads, just LOOKING at 

Dan Ruehs’ garage is an amazing experience. Ahhhh, but if you 

don’t come, you won’t know what I’m talking about, will you? 

Bring your dad... Bring your kids... Bring your grandkids. The 

pool is cool and the barbeque is hot. Fun and games for all. 

You’ll see why this one is one of my faves! 

Before all that, come drive with us on June 3-4 in Mineral 

Wells or June 11th at Pennington Field. The view from my 

drivers’ seat is spectacular! 

Thank you to 

for sponsoring the 

April DE. We 

couldn’t have 

done it 

without you!

Porsches in the Heartland 

by Steve Coomes 

The Maverick Region had a good showing in Topeka, KS with 

about 20 members making the journey. Friday morning 

greeted us with a good deal of rain. This led to the decision to 

set the car up for wet conditions. We started by removing the 

end links from one side of both the front and rear sway bars. 

My car also has Moton Club Sport shocks so we dialed the 

compression and rebound to full soft. I had a set of Toyo 

Proxes RA-1 that came with the car when I bought it. These 

were my “rain” tires. 

Well, the track was very wet and had significant standing 

water in several places. The most treacherous being the front 

straight where I counted seven rivers crossing. One of the 

rivers (really a lake) was at the end of the straight and 

transition into alpha-zero. This is the “turn” that Heartland 

Park is famous for. Talk about pucker. After a hydroplaning 

skate down the straight and then hit this and try to keep the 

car aiming the right direction was a challenge. 

After my second practice session I decided I needed a better 

tire. The Hoosier Tire Midwest dealer was at the track and 

I made sure I had dibs on the appropriate size radial wet. I 

dropped off my wheels and waited as they unloaded the 

trailer and got around to mounting my tires. 

What a difference! These tires made it seem like the track was 

dry. No more hydroplaning and I could wait longer to brake. I 

broke into a rain dance hoping for wet track the rest of the 

weekend. I was having a blast. 

Saturday again greeted us with more rain. I was the happiest 

driver at the track. I ran in the top 3 in all the practice sessions. 

I won the fun race, qualified second (not counting the GTC3 

exhibition car) for the sprint race and won the first sprint race 

in the afternoon. We then enjoyed a nice prime rib dinner with 

plenty of keg beverage in the new tech building at the track. 

The Kansas City Region sure put on a good banquet. 

Sunday morning we got a break in the weather. I went out in 

the sprint warm-up with a wet set-up since there was still 

standing water on the track. I decide I would go hard on the 

out lap and the first green lap and if I ran a 2:13 or better come 

in. This played into my hands as the black flag was thrown as 

I came across the start finish. I went back to my pit to begin 

contemplating the change over to a dry set-up. 

I talked with the TOPP Racing drivers when they came in 

from their warm up run. After some second-guessing I decided 

to go to a dry set-up. We really waited too late to decide as we 

only got the front sway bar hooked up and the dry tires on 

before being called to grid. So I was on an unknown chassis for 

the second sprint. Luckily I started third so I did not have to 

deal with traffic. My car was very unstable and I was glad when 

the race was over. I finished fourth overall and third in class. 

Back to the pit for the completion of the dry change over. 

The rear sway bar was reconnected and the shocks were set to 

a beginning setting less than full firm. The enduro warm-up 

was a combined group and it is always hairy when the GT cars 

are out at the same time as us slow guys. I made a good pass 

into turn one and knew there was a GTC3 coming fast. We 

came into the carousel and I let him by. He got loose and I had 

to brake to make sure I missed him but I had my wheel turned 

and we all know what happens then. I ended up a few feet off 

on the left side of the track. It took a few minutes to be towed 

out, as the border off the asphalt was very soft. Luckily I was 

able to drive back to the pit and get most of the mud off the 

tires without fouling the track. We rinsed the car off, added 

fuel, dialed in some more stiffness to the shocks and waited for 

the call to grid. 

The enduro started normally but we soon had a full course 

caution. I decided that if we were under the double yellow 

when we got to the fifteen-minute mark (pits open) I would 

come in as it was taking about four minutes to make the 

course under these conditions. This really played in to my 

hands. I was third at the time and pitted with the second place 

car. Four minutes of the mandatory five minutes went by 

under caution. I resumed the race and continued on to finish 

third overall and third in class. 

Rain or shine the 944S2 was a contender in Kansas. I am 

looking forward to our home race at Motor Sport Ranch over 

Memorial Day weekend. Hope to see all there.

drive to the Mineral Ring for a typical Time Trial day. 

Saturday April 22, 2006 

8:00 am 

Christy: Good morning! Who’s tech-ing cars today? 

Denny: I’m sure Rick is here somewhere. I’ll find him 

while you empty the car. Don’t forget the spare tire! 

Christy: Yeah, really. As much as our car weighs, we need to 

lighten our load as much as possible. 

8:30 am 

Christy: Are we checked in yet? 

Denny: Yeah, I checked in with Wendy, but you still need to 

sign the insurance waiver. 

Christy: Okay. I talked to Bryan and we’re running the course 

clockwise today. 

8:45 am 

Denny: The numbers are on the car and we’re ready to go! 

Christy: So, you’re ready for me to beat you today, huh? 

Denny: Yeah, whatever. 

9:00 am 

Christy: They just called the Driver’s meeting! 

Denny and Christy attend the Driver’s meeting and get all the specifics 

about today’s Time Trial from Bryan Bell – items such as: where and how 

to grid up, the fact that smacked cones add 2 seconds to your time, there is 

no passing, etc. While Bryan explains the corner worker responsibilities, 

Wendy provides a proper flag waving demonstration for everyone. 

Mike Lockas and Shelly Burbank announce the corner worker assignments 

for each group. Christy and Denny go to their stations, since they are 

in the group working first. 

9:30 am 

Denny: I’m glad we get to work first. 

Christy: Me, too. I like to see how other drivers are handling 

the course before I drive it. 

Denny: Yeah, that way I can see what to do and what not to do 

in each corner. 

Christy: Whoa! Spectacular spin! A perfect example of what 

not to do. 

Denny: But they’re fun to watch. 

Wendy Shoffit giving Christy some of her “Go Fast” secrets! 


Denny pushing hard after the tricky Start/Finish trying to stay ahead. 

11:00 am 

Christy: 

Denny: 

Looks like everyone had some good runs! Now it’s our 

turn to drive! 

I’ll let you go first so I have a target to aim for. 

Christy heads onto the track while Denny takes pictures and video 

from the top of the Truckster. After watching Christy’s first three runs, 

Denny runs over to the grid where she is lining up for her next series. 

11:30 am 

Denny: Hey! You’re totally missing the gate before start/finish! 

Christy: What?! Where?! 

Denny: The gate right before you cross the finish line.You have 

to jog to the left a little. You’re missing it completely! 

Christy: Man! So, those runs won’t even count! Argh! 

Christy finds the gate in her next series and goes on to post a pretty 

good time. Now it’s Denny’s turn…. 

11:45 am 

Denny: Okay, I know what time I need to beat! See you at the 

finish line. 

Christy: Good luck! 

Denny dons his helmet and heads out for his first runs. The car is 

running well and he manages to outrun Christy’s time for the morning. 

12:00 noon 

Denny: 

Christy: 

Denny: 

That felt pretty good. But I’m having a problem in 

turn #3, I can’t seem to figure out the best line to take 

on that one. 

Maybe you should get Mike or one of the other 

instructors to ride with you this afternoon and see if 

they can help you out. 

Maybe that will get me a couple of extra seconds. 

After the last runs are complete, it’s lunchtime for everyone. Denny 

and Christy join several of the other drivers at a restaurant in town and 

chat about the course, turns and strategies. Then it’s time to do it again. 

The afternoon sessions provide another opportunity for Denny and 

Christy to observe other drivers as corner workers before getting behind the 

wheel again. This time, Denny goes first and, as is typical in the afternoon 

heat, can’t manage to beat his best time from the morning. 

14

2:00 pm 

Christy: Alright, I’m gonna getcha! 

Denny: We’ll see! Good luck. 

Christy starts her runs. Charlie and some others notice Denny 

pacing impatiently, awaiting Christy’s results as she crosses the finish line of 

each lap. And then… 

2:30 pm 

Christy: Did I get it? Did I get it? 

Denny: Wooo Hoooo! I still got you by .03 of a second! 

Christy: $#!@% 

At the end of the day, everyone packs up their cars and gear. A large 

group then meets at Baris Italian Restaurant in Mineral Wells, where the 

owners welcome the club members with open arms, especially Mike Lockas 

who is celebrating his birthday. 

(Happy Mike Birthday!)

Everyone heads back to their hotels for much needed rest and 

preparation for the Autocross the following day. 

Sunday April 23, 2006 

Christy goes on to avenge her loss in the Time Trial by beating Denny’s 

best Autocross time by 2 whole seconds! 

3:30 pm 

Denny: 

Christy: 

Great driving, hon. You got me on this one. 

There’s always next time. I’m glad we can have this 

“friendly competition” with each other. 

Everyone has a great time at these events. Conversations like these are 

repeated throughout the day among all the club members that attend. 

Denny and Christy enjoy the camaraderie and professionalism of the 

group. No matter who “wins” everyone enjoys razzing and supporting each 

other, talking about the courses, learning from each other and having a 

blast all weekend! 

We welcome more people to join us for the excitement!

Smoother Is Better 

Photo by Charlie Davis 

by Dean Yamada 

Here I am again writing another article for the Maverick 

Region PCA while I compete in an "Others" car since 2000 

or 2001, I believe. I had a great first impression that MRPCA 

is the friendliest car club in the DFW area and that still holds true. 

The Texas Area Lightning Owner's Club is a close second, but 

they don't hold as many race events and who would be crazy enough 

to autocross a Ford Lightning truck anyway?? (The brakes in 

my Lightning only caught fire once and I didn't even need a fire 

extinguisher that day...) 

The Daring Photographer’s award h goes to... Charlie Davis! 

The weather was fantastic - there's an old saying about Mineral 

Wells is that it is always 10 degrees colder or hotter, for the worse, and 

10-30 mph windier than the forecast from the night before. This 

particular Saturday was great - just a cool enough breeze and not hot 

at all. It was slightly damp in the morning, but dried quickly and 

we didn't get a single drop of rain until a few of the last cars were 

finishing up their runs at the end of the day. I think this was the most 

perfect weather I've ever experienced out at Mineral Wells, usually 

called Miserable Wells. 

Time Trial 2 was Course #2 run clockwise. It is very similar to 

Course #1, but more boxy and with longer straights. I think it had 

been over a year since I had run the course and I'm glad Bob 

Kuykendall rode with me for some orientation laps in the morning. I 

would surely have cut the course short had I not had a refresher - 

actually the entire thing looked brand new to me. ;) 

We started the event with a new idea for gridding, where you 

have cars parked in parallel like a parking lot row, before the starting 

gate. This idea was to prevent the "train" of cars that sometimes 

causes a backup of cars that extends near the finish gate. Sometimes 

people also leave their cars or need to check tire pressures, then you 

have car gaps and the train momentum is derailed at that point. I 

think the parallel gridding worked well since the starter could point 

to cars that were actually ready to pull up to the line. 

I worked Heat #1 and Heat #3 in Corner Two. From my perspective 

(for those heats only) I think the car with the most 

momentum/speed in Corner 2 prior to the long back straight award 

goes to James Shoffit. When I work a corner, I like to see people's 

various approaches and listen to when and how soon they are on the 

brakes and then back on the accelerator. People who visibly appear 

slower might be early apexing and are unable to even get on the 

throttle until much later than some places where you can late apex 

and get on the throttle much sooner. Usually the times reflect that 


observation. There was probably 80 feet of distance that some 

people were on the accelerator sooner than others. 

To help pass the time while you are working a corner, buy a good 

stopwatch and time from a cone in one section to another section that 

you can visibly see, then see who's approach is actually fastest. This 

also helps determine which way you might take a slalom, for example. 

When it was time for my runs, I tried my best to maintain the 

"Smoother is Faster" approach and I could see a full two seconds of 

time difference from "Dean-usual fish tail Style" and "Dean-trying to 

drive smoothly." I had always been told that smoother is faster, but I 

think I've always had a car that was just finicky (solid rear axle) 

enough that sometimes you needed to get the rear end out to rotate 

the car - some people refer to it as a constantly controlled spin. By 

smooth, I tried to squeeze onto the brakes and throttle, as opposed to 

mashing down the pedal. In the right hand constant sweeper towards 

the finish, I could tell that if I abruptly lifted the throttle near the apex 

of the sweeper, the car would get upset and the rear end would step 

out. I solved a lot of these issues by simply braking earlier - something 

that's always been told to me but I'm only just now learning. 

I think the person with the driving style that most closely resembles 

mine award would go to Kevin Hardison in his blue 914 - but not 

sure that's always a good award. :P I think the cleanest appearing 

original car award goes to car number 95, a yellow 914 from what I 

could see. Best spin was a black 911 after the finish near corner 5, 

I think it was a 420 degree spin. Most daring photographer award 

goes to Charlie Davis for some very close-up shots of cars on course. 

Overall, I was very happy with the car even with the original and 

all stock suspension and 70k miles - I think I've found a keeper!! ;) 

Also I was pleased with my four Nitto drag radials - which in my 

experience/opinion, I believe they are just a cheaper form of Toyo 

Proxes RA-1's in more sizes, since I do believe Toyo owns Nitto and 

they wear, grip, and transition very similarly. 

This was also my fourth event to test out my tire pressure 

bleeders. These are valves that install in your rim and you set your 

desired hot pressure. As you go over your desired hot pressure, these 

spring pressure valves bleed off air - so that you maintain your 

perfect hot air pressures and don't have to jump out of the car to 

check them. (Toyos get very greasy when the tire gets too hot.) I first 

read about them in one of Carroll Shelby's books and I know a 

Yet another different car . . . same driving style ...Hey! ...that’s not right! 

Who’s that driving Dean’s car? 

16

couple of hard core roadracers that swear by them. They are very 

popular in both dirt and circle track racing leagues. They are only $70 

for a set of 4 and you don't really need all the extra "kit" stuff that 

Longacre sells. If you do want to try them out, make sure you mount 

them axially (per Carroll Shelby) as opposed to radially - since 

radially, the centrifugal force of the wheel spinning could put pressure 

on the spring. Axially would be a like a lug nut or valve stem, it turns 

on the same plane that your lug nuts spin. Radially is a like a tape weight 

on the inside of your rim (or nail in the tire), it turns around the axle. 

I think I coned my fastest run which *might* have taken the fast 

time of day, but nonetheless, Gabby in his white Subaru WRX STi took 

the final fastest clean time. A great time trial indeed and I look forward 

to more events with the Maverick Region PCA.

A History Lesson and a Thank You 

by Richard Diller 

This is an article with some history, a thank you, and compliments 

to all. It is a follow on to Time Trial #3, put on by Bryan Bell and 

the Staff on 6 May ‘06. 

As a youngster in Japan right after WWII, I got a drivers license 

at 14—for you parents, you know that’s probably tempting fate to say 

the least. Anyway, I tricked out my Mom’s ’41 torpedo back Olds so 

that only the brake lights came on if I threw the switch. We would 

load up on a weekend night and proceed from Tokyo to Yokohama 

and taunt the MP’s into a race. Needless to say they would chase and 

even tricked out one of their jeeps to run almost as fast as an 

American sedan; but, that is another story—when I almost got 

caught. The point here is that I always wanted to race. 

Fast forward to 1987 when we took our Porsches to Dan Butts at 

German Technology—OJ and Red 1—to be painted and improve the 

interior in Red 1. Dan asked if we were members of Maverick Region 

and the answer was no. So, we were introduced to the Club, joined, 

and he told us about how the Club conducted races at Mineral Wells 

and at other venues like Green Valley. Remember, I had spent much 

of WW II, while my Dad was overseas in the Pacific, with my 

Grandparents—a bike and a flexi-flyer was as close as I ever came to 

racing. Hence, the pent up desire expressed above in racing the MP’s 

and getting the false sense that I was already a “hot shoe”. 

Carole, my charming bride of many years, and Suzanne, my 

daughter, took the 2 Porsches in the late ‘80’s to MW and had a blast. 

When they returned home and told me how much fun it was, I was 

hooked before I ever drove there. Off I go to later events with Red 1, a 

’67 911 Targa with a ’65 engine and find out that there is more to this 

racing than I ever imagined. After lots of work and several seasons, I 

said to Ed Mayo,“Let’s stiffen this baby up so I can go faster.”Answer— 

bad idea—this will lead to wrenching the body in two.“Targa’s are not 

for stiffening,” said Ed, but, he added, “I’ll find you a hard top.” In an 

off handed way, I said sure, not thinking this would happen any time 

soon. Mistake on my part. Ed found what is now Red 2, originally with 

a 2.4 and mechanical injection. So I was obliged to buy it and then we 

got serious. The engine was upgraded to a 2.7, limited slip was needed 

to stop wheel spin, weight came off and fiberglass went on until we got 

it down to 1950 lbs. with 1/2 load of fuel. 

Now to Time Trail #3 on 7 May ’06. I go to crank and it won’t 

start. It just ran on Saturday and did fairly well. Battery had gone 

kaput and Charlie Davis was going to AutoZone and brings back a 

new battery for me. Still no start—panicsville—test for voltage in the 

engine compartment and measure 2 volts where there should be 12. 

No fuel pump and no cold start for the fuel injection. Charlie comes 

over with his voltmeter and starts trouble shooting. Directly he 

finalizes his initial verdict—bad ground problem. I know this car 

pretty well and start reviewing the various grounds in a 911; but, for 

a while I forgot about the post that sits on the left side and forward of 

the fuel filter and hence out of sight. Charlie says that he hasn’t 

worked on a 911 in a while but asks if there isn’t a post that grounds 

the electronics. Bingo, my dim bulb lights up and I feel back for the 

post and find the nut has come off and so has the main ground wire. 

We fix that problem and she starts up like a dream. Am I ready to take 

Charlie and his charming bride out to dinner? You bet. The point here 

is that Mav Region has been for the almost 20 years and 3 generations 

of racers, a very warm and friendly atmosphere to go along with the 


highly competitive racing spirit. Without Charlie I was ready to put 

the car on the trailer. Thanks to him and his expertise I was able to 

race and have a great time. We did 3 M---M for modified and off 

camber quick turns are definitely modifications—and a test of one’s 

driving skills to get it right. 

Let me add that besides Charlie there were others that offered 

to help with when I would run, if the car started, etc. Anyone and 

everyone will help another driver get ready to race. Now, out on the 

track, is another matter. Those same people will kick everyone’s tail 

feathers if they can and smile doing it. But that really is to be 

expected in such a competitively charged atmosphere. 

Now to the compliments. Back in the early ‘90’s Ed Mayo was 

President and said to several of us—it would be nice if we could do 

some schooling out at MW. And thus was born the schooling system 

that has progressed to a work of art now. There was no Club Racing, 

no Internet, no online registration. The compliments go to all that 

have taken the Club to a new high in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. 

The Driver’s Ed at MotorSports Ranch is an experience one has 

to participate in, to realize how much fun fast driving can be and yet 

how safe it can be. An aside, for those of us who live in the “country” 

way south of Dallas/Ft. Worth, driving the expressways there can be a 

harrowing experience. One or two DE’s makes one ready for Dallas/Ft. 

Worth, Houston or any place where less experienced drivers think they 

are at the Indy 500 and that they have to prove that fact. 

The point here is that many people have taken the club into the 

21st Century. Slipstream continues to be an award winning club 

magazine. Online registration is as easy as falling off a log. (I taught 

Computer Science subjects for 20 years and know something of the 

effort it takes to achieve this product.) Maintenance support by many 

people in Texas can make a car purr like the proverbial kitten. All in 

all, we have a great club with many wonderful folks and an activity to 

suit anyone’s taste. My compliments to all who have been in charge 

over the many years and to those who will take the reins in the future. 

Mav Region is the product of many years of many jobs very well done 

and although I am no youngster, I look forward to that 3 hour drive 

with my equipment to get to wherever the Time Trials and 

Autocrosses are to enjoy the comraderie and hopefully, give the 

youngsters a run for their money. 

By the way, a second childhood is a wonderful experience, as 

long as one’s bride will continue to buy those new race tires. Good 

luck to all and thanks for the “ride” of a lifetime. 

The sound of Richard Diller’s ride has to be heard to be believed. 

It drives and sounds just as fast as it looks.

Happy Hour at Bavarian Grill 

by Dennis Chamberlain 

Presumably due to the weather, we had a small (but jubilant) 

group at the Bavarian Grill in Plano for our April 20 

happy hour. Can you imagine people wanting to keep 

their cars in their garages just because of the threat of hail? 

One member that I haven’t seen for over two years did brave 

the predicted storms (as did 19 others) - Leon Frenkel. Speaking 

of bravery, Randy Csanadi (2005 Boxster and 1987 944 Turbo) 

drove around forever looking for the Bavarian Grill and, luckily 

for us, never gave up. 

For those of us who 

did make it, the food and 

atmosphere were as festive 

as always. And here’s a tip 

for the next happy hour 

that we have at the 

Bavarian Grill – the portions 

are huge, so share an 

entrée. 

The June 15 happy 

hour will be at “Go Fish” in 

Addison, which had our 

largest crowd of 2005. 

Don’t miss it! 

Leon taking in the ambiance.

Welcome, New Members! 

You have just joined one of the best and most active PCA 

Regions in the country! Some clubs focus solely on social 

events, while others focus on just show and shine concours 

events. Maverick Region is a club that focuses on providing 

our members with the tools necessary to have the ultimate in 

driving experiences. 

You will notice that our region has many Time Trials, 

Autocrosses, and Drivers’ Education (DE) events (in addition 

to a yearly Club Race). This has been the spirit of the region 

for quite some time. We have some of the finest instructors in 

the country. Make sure you take full advantage of the driving 

experiences we have to offer. 

Racing is not ALL we focus on, though. If racing doesn’t 

suit you, we have monthly happy hours, three monthly lunch 

gatherings, regular dinner socials, frequent driving tours on 

some fabulous roads in and around Texas, driving rallies (fun 

for the whole family), and regular opportunities to support 

our perpetual charity, the Hope Shelter. 

If we don’t have what you’re looking for, just ask us... we 

might just add something extra to the calendar. 

Please also feel free to share article ideas (and submissions) 

to editor@mavpca.org. We’d love to hear from you!
