My Thoughts
by Jan Mayo, Managing Editor
Founder’s Day - We celebrate it every
year at this time. In November 1962
a small group of people decided they
wanted to be a region of the Porsche Club of
America so they went through the effort and
made it so. And here we are still actively
doing the things this small group started
over 40 years ago.
One of the traditional awards presented at the Founder’s
Day banquet is the Richard F. Selcer award. While not a
founding member, Dick Selcer was a very early member
who displayed the optimum enthusiasm for life, Porsche
and the Maverick Region. He was active in all the events
and as Treasurer he coined the phrase, “We have money,”
while strumming his ukelele during the board meetings.
That phrase continues in every board meeting to this day,
though the ukele has long since disappeared.
One evening, as was typical, he stopped to help a fellow
tragic when he was struck by another car and killed.
A few years later a plaque honoring Mr. Selcer was
created anonymously to be presented by the president to a
deserving member. It was given to one who displayed the
enthusiasm and committment to Maverick Region as Dick
did. The plaque has a line drawing of a 356 engine which
was Dick’s car and has a list now of 31 names.

Catch My Draft
Irealize the Autocross/Time Trial season is
over, but we just had a meeting of the AX/
TT Rule Committee and have made some
big changes for the upcoming year. I bet there
will be an article about it soon enough. I am
very excited that it won’t take a spreadsheet
and internet access to classify your car! There
will be some simple charts and four questions
about Tires, Suspension, Weight, and Horsepower that could
bump you up in class. The Predicted Performance Factor
was so complex I got frustrated when people would ask me
what class they are in and I couldn’t tell them without running
to a spreadsheet!
We are also going to allow more timed AX runs this year
than we have the last few years. I personally like to have few-
more timed runs, so that is another rule we have changed.
Now I have a confession to make.Wendy beat me at the
last Autocross of the year, the Charity Autocross at Texas
Motor Speedway. This is the 4th time she has bested my best
time, and three of those times were at TMS. For some reason
I can’t get the hang of that surface. I feel like I am going fast
– just not as fast as she goes! I had brand new R compound
tires and everything! I had no excuses!
So now all you guys snickering to yourselves about getting
beaten by my wife, think of it this way. How many times
sion.
Or make sure the brakes are bled. Or dadgummit, it’s
time for some new tires! So I think I have it pretty good, even
if my ego suffers from time to time.
As Jan mentioned in the last issue, some things are
changing, others stay the same. We have new software for
Slipstream (partially responsible for some of the delays), we
have a new racetrack we will be trying out in November, and
we have a new place we are going to have fun at for Founders
I welcome, by the way!) it looks like I am going to be Presi-
quite get as much done as you wished, and hope for another
year to accomplish your goals. And then in the second year,
you realize it is impossible and give up. JUST KIDDING.
Settle down, people. Sheeesh.
As the competitive events are winding down and we
only have one Concours and two Drivers Education events
the corner!
Come on out and join the fun! See you soon!

Maverick Minutes
by Charlie Davis, Secretary
James called the meeting to order at 7:00

purse from her desk at work, as it
had the cash gathered at the last DE Charity
Laps that needed to go to the Treasurer.
nounced
that the Sunday drive on October 7
will be to Waco, not Henderson. One of the bridges on the
Texas State railway is still washed out. The Sunday drive to
Tyler State Park is still scheduled. The next Concours will
be on November 4 in Colleyville. Wendy also representing
Clint, announced that he wants to be on the calendar committee.
Wendy further announced that the newsletter committee
has converted to Adobe InDesign starting with this issue.
Monda is planning a Happy Hour in Ft. Worth at Daddy
Jacks on November 15th. Joel volunteered to send e-mails to
new members about our happy hours.
Tracey said she had located volunteers to have the Holiday
Party in Dallas. It will be at the home of Lee and Linda
Wilkins. She made a motion for approval to spend approxi-
who would 2nd the motion… Joel won. It passed handily with
Wendy made a motion to continue inviting 20-year members
to Founder’s Day, but to also invite 40-plus-year members.
It passed.
Tracey asked us to choose the menu for the Founder’s
dize
about $15, meaning that the fee will be $40 per person.
She said the next New Members Party will be on January 27.
Charlie volunteered to contact Dennis Johnson to see if he can
get us the clubhouse reserved.
Andy said we should encourage members to update their
data online. He then described a way to remind people when
their membership is about to expire. We have the capability
to add a message to Slipstream address areas. We could, for
example, remind people in advance that their membership is
we could put a message on the back of Slipstream that says,
“Only three more months until renewal is due”. This is proactive,
instead of reactive (as we currently send notices after
their membership has expired). Joel thanked Andy for helping
with the membership database updates.
Andy further noted that we have been reticent in charging
subscribers to Slipstream. We have about 26 people who subscribed
to Slipstream, but we have not been charging them, including
family members and ex- Maverick Region members
who have moved away. Joel volunteered to send these people
letters soliciting payment.

can schedule TimeTrial and Autocross events for 2008. Colin
reminded James that he needed TT/AX results in order to pur-

Lisa said she thinks our higher ad rates are OK. She has
received very few comments. 10 of our 27 advertisers have
made payments already.
Dennis bragged that he had a nice picture of Celeste Genovese!
He further reported that one person complained that
Uncle Julio’s is too noisy. Lastly he announced that he will be
leaving Maverick Region. He will be transferring to Roadrunner
Region when his house near Albuquerque is completed.
He is retiring and will become a fulltime photographer and
part time musician. We wish him well and as soon as we discover
his new address in NM, we will let everybody know…
Mark said he has already submitted insurance requests for
all events in October. He needs the physical address of the
Eagle’s Canyon and the name(s) of the owner(s) to complete
an insurance request.
Colin reported we had 150 entrants at the last DE. The
new caterer worked out well. He announced that the October
DE would use the 1.7 mile course, since we don’t have
enough entrants to afford the full course. At this time he has
few registrations for Eagle’s Canyon.

Sunday Drive

Take your lemons and turn them into Lemonade! Our
Maverick Sunday Drivers did just that for the October
Sunday Drive. We were all set to “Ride the Rails”
of the Texas State Railroad, but “century high” summer rains
washed out the big wooden bridge over the Neches River. So
Ryan & Stacie Virden of the Hill Country section joined
us after our museum tour and off we went to Waco’s Cameron
Park. Few people know about this pecan forested, 416 acre
of the “Real Lone Ranger.” The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame
and Museum is dedicated to the oldest state law enforcement
agency in the nation. Our group arrived in Waco at about 11am
and toured the history and lore of the legendary Texas Rangers.
The museum is
a vast collection
of stories,
photographs,
uniforms, guns
and equipment
that depict the
history of the
Texas Rangers.
We saw artifacts

Maverick DE Supports Komen Charity Event
by Lori Mauthe
Iam an instructor for PCA Maverick Region, and for the
second consecutive year, will be walking 60 miles in 3
3-Day. Along with my other 15 team members of ‘Side-by-
Side’ we will participate in the journey from Southfork Ranch
to SMU Campus, walking an average of 20 miles per day.
We will camp out in a sea of pink pup tents somewhere along
Campbell road on the east side of the Dallas metroplex.
The event is very special to me in many ways. My Mother,
Adrienne, survived her breast cancer at age 47, after a
mastectomy and 9 months of chemotherapy. Known as Adie
to her friends, she was a wonderful woman and a ‘mother’ to
many. She survived colon cancer 12 years later as well, but
unfortunately we have not yet found a cure for lung cancer.
She passed away 5 ½ years ago, and I think about her every
day. So, in her honor, my car number is 480 – For Adie.
Like many of you, I have family members and friends
Early detection and treatments have helped us achieve a 95%
cure rate. Still, one in seven women will face a breast cancer
diagnosis. Just last year, two sister-in-laws and another friend
were diagnosed. We still don’t know the cause or the prevention,
but with your generosity, we will have the means to
continue the search.
At the September Driver Education event at Motorsport
Ranch, I asked for contributions to the event with the slogan
donated $526.00 to the cause – the Susan G. Komen Founda-
promote breast cancer awareness and develop better detection
and treatment methods. Each of the over 2,500 participants
is required to raise a minimum of $2,200 each. The contribution
by the DE will apply toward that minimum for several
team members to help them
reach their goal and qualify
for this incredible journey.

the October DE event. For

cheering stations along the way for supporters to come out

From the Tech Q & A - Early 911 (1965-1973)

Question: My car was just put on a Mustang Dyno

etc) were to deliver approx 220 to 230 at the crank. I would
have expected at least 180+ at the wheels. We didn’t weigh
the car but listed it at 2700lbs and used 12hp at 50 mph in
the data set up. A thought came up that the MFI pump might
be off a tooth as a cam seal was just replaced a while back.
The car runs and idles great, very smooth, but feels like it
vibrates at high rpm when under hard acceleration, like it
is trying too hard. It also leans out over 4000 rpm like the
pump is just not delivering the fuel. The mixture is perfect
at idle and low rpm. What would be the symptoms of a MFI
pump belt off by a tooth one way or another? If not that,
what might you suggest I look into.
common fault is misadjusted throttle linkage not allowing
full throttle. The MFI pump could be incorrectly timed and
can easily be checked. Ignition and cam timing should also
be checked. The linkage rods for the MFI need to be of a
certain length and can cause the mixture to be incorrect.
This is also a very common mistake. I can’t tell you exactly
what one tooth off would do, but I can tell you that I’ve
seen cars come in that were 180 degrees out of time and still

20 years. This Maverick Drivers education event was well

When Rubber Meets Asphalt
by Meagan Moseley
The sun had risen early Sunday morning,
almost like it was coming to
greet me. The parking lot was disserted
and the gravel was still loose from
the race before. I leaned against the bitter,
metal fence and stared out at the vast, open sea of grey.
As I breathed in the soft morning air, I quickly imagined
myself in a car, speeding across the track in hopes
of getting the best time. I could feel adrenaline already
pulsing through my veins and my whole body tense
with anticipation. I looked from my red Mini Cooper
S, to the coned course and back again. As I walked
towards my car, I could tell that this run would be one
of thrill and intensity.
As I opened the silver, smooth handle of my door,
the black leather seat, pushed the clutch in, and turned
on the car. The engine revved up like it was going to
take off at any second. There was so much power in
that one noise, that I felt like I was a part of the car. I
reached over in the passenger seat for my baby blue
helmet and grey gloves. As I slipped on the helmet
and gloves, I felt the world before me change and the
intensity grow even greater. Leaning back, I gripped
the black leather of the steering wheel and drove toward
the starting point of a realm of fearlessness and
freedom.
The car rolled slowly to a stop at the starting line
and a man in a jet black jumpsuit told me that it would
be a minute before it was my turn. I took that last
minute to gaze out onto the hazy grey abyss that I had
become a victim of. The man to my left with the extremely
comic looking headphones on gave me the go
ahead. With that, I let go of my clutch and slammed on
the gas. As my RPM immediately jumped to the red
effortlessly shifted into second gear while making my
could cost me the whole race, I slung around and shot
towards the slalom. I came at it on the right side of the
cone, tackling each sharp motion twist by twist, just
how I had been taught. Right then left, then right again
and left while at the same time trying not to lose control
and throw the race. My eyes veered up and to the right
to see what was coming next. I came out of the slalom
and straight into what seemed like a right angle curve.
18
Quickly pressing on the brakes, without losing to much
momentum, I directed my car towards the next obstacle.
To my surprise, my tires came within inches of
the turn in cone without hitting it. Loose gravel slung
across the track and my
tires screamed at me
from the contact with the
asphalt. My eyes shifted
to my next destination
on the course. My car
veered towards the gate
to the next turn as if it
had a mind of its own. I
glided in and out of what
I have come to call the big “S” with extreme ease and

line. I dug my foot deeper and deeper into the throttle
past the line and the race was over.
forty-three point two which was by far my fastest time
yet. I maneuvered my car into its proper spot back
in grid and popped the hood to let the engine cool off
before the next run. As I took off my helmet, sweat
rolled off of my forehead and down my already steaming
face. I looked to my left to watch the next person
become intertwined with cones and gravel. Moving
almost rhythmically between the cones and the gates,
the car seemed to almost know exactly what it was doing.
Watching that car I began to see that racing is not
just a sport, but it is also an art.

Happy Hour at Uncle Julio’s
by Dennis Chamberlain
Uncle Julio’s has become a regular spot for us, and
while we had one complaint about the noise level,
most of the attendees continued to give the place
favorable reviews. We had plenty of new members and
new faces. One group of four that always lightens up a hap-
and Mike and Maria Stafford.
These two couples seem to do almost
everything together, and I can
certainly understand why!
New attendees included Todd
S, and has been a member since June
of 2006,
but he was
Celeste Genovese attending
happy hour. Rumor had it that
Todd was there to check up on
nied
by guest, Celeste Genovese.
We’re still not certain about the
relationship here – James claimed
she was his niece or something
like that. Other new members
were Donetta and Larry Ramsey Angelika Widmer
McQuaid (2006 997S).
For our November 15 happy
hour, we’re trying a new place in
Ft. Worth - Daddy Jack’s Lobster
& Chowder, at 353 Throckmorton.
Hope to see you there!
