Maverick Minutes by Charlie Davis In Attendance: James Shoffit, Bob Kuykendall, Michael Wingfield, Dennis Chamberlain, Bob Bianconi, Jan Mayo, Tracey Gross, Lisa Steele, Kevin Hardison, Teri Davis, Charlie Davis, Robyn Howard, Travis Howard, and Wendy Shoffit. James called the meeting to order at 7:01 PM. He reported that Keith Olcha and John Sandusky would share duties as temporary DE chair. He further said that the Mother’s Day DE at Eagle Canyon was still pending but that the track probably won’t be finished in time. Dennis said that the Happy Hour at Go Fish had a small turnout due to weather. The next Happy Hour will be at Saltgrass. We discussed the possibility of having a Happy Hour /driving event at the new kart track near La Grave field in Ft. Worth. It seemed to be well liked, but we need more information about group events. Before Dennis left (carrying a small cookie…James wouldn’t let him have the big one), he and Bob K discussed the audit. They will work out the details offline. Bob K said we still have money, then went back to writing checks. Michael said that he had intended to discuss DE’s, but after James’s report, there was nothing further to say. Except that the recent DE made a little less than $3000. It was not full. He noted that our DE events help pay for the Club Race. Bob B said that the website concerning our new Concours series has been started. He has not yet picked a date for the fall event. He will do that later. Jan is anxiously awaiting 2 articles regarding our Autocross Schools from Lisa. We then had a lengthy discussion about who planned the PorschePlatz, but I didn’t understand anything that was said. [ed. Lanean Hughes had done most all the planning for 2006 PorschePlatz with possibly some help from Shelly Burbank and Bryan Henderson. Our Zone Rep Caren Cooper will do the planning for <strong>2007</strong>. If anyone is wanting to help please contact Caren.] Tracey reminded us that the Wine Tasting at Premiere Wines in Plano was only a few days away. She has only four openings left at this juncture. The next social event will be our annual May at Mayo’s on May 5th (note that this is Cinco De Mayo!). Finally she corrected the February Minutes, which had reported that founders day would be at Austin Ranch…this was incorrect reporting by your secretary. Oops… We discussed the pros and cons of several Father’s Day venues. Lisa reported that she had gotten phone calls for several unclassified ads. We decided this was due to her name and telephone number being displayed prominently on page 28 (the font size was large enough that members could read it, in contrast to the tiny size of the correct information at the top of the page). Jan said she can fix that…and would. Lisa gave an accounting of the attendance at our recent Autocross and TimeTrial schools: Ladies & Teens = 17, AX 101 = 24, AX 102 = 24, and TT 103 = 14. Kevin announced that he has lots of old <strong>Slipstream</strong>s (from the past 9 years). He no longer has room to keep them and inquired if anybody had a place? They are in 8 standard-size moving boxes. Anybody? Teri reported that the Rally on Sunday, March 11th, is planned. She needs to make one more trip to finish all the details. She suggested there be a rally@mavpca.org where she could receive rally oriented e-mails. She also needs ClubRegistration.net to be set up so that rally entrants can pay there. Charlie asked Jan to let him know which of the pictures (that he posted on his web site) taken at the AX schools she wanted for slipstream. Robyn said she liked Jan’s blue hair thingie (you had to be at the first autocross school to understand). Travis suggested that our DE price should be set at $199 (there had been a brief discussion of what price point would get the most customers). He sort of volunteered to be the AX/TT safety inspection guy. He got a lot of encouragement. YES…a volunteer! Go, Travis! Wendy reported that the Club Race registration was open now. James adjourned the meeting at 8:10 PM and grabbed that last (BIG) cookie. 8
