My Thoughts
by Jan Mayo, Managing Editor
Please take a look at the letter
below from Lisa Huffaker at
Hope, Inc. If you already
have, read it again. Do you realize
what has been accomplished here?
Volunteers had a vision. Volunteers
raised money. Volunteers donated
supplies and went out asking
businesses and other families for donations,
money and supplies. Volunteers ran errands,
picked up supplies, picked up donations, gave
time and more stuff and more money. More
volunteers drove charity laps and gave money.
Volunteers painted, did electrical work and
yard work, others decorated,
cleaned and scrubbed. Kids
picked up trash and provided
drinks of water. See what
Maverick Region has done?
An amazing group of working,
professional, retired and still
in school people Volunteered
to build this house for North
Texas Victims of Domestic
Violence.
Some of you remember
the first several years that we
supported the Hope Shelter,
a great number of you do
not. Their tiny house would
sometimes have up to 20
women and children sharing
two bedrooms and one
bath. They were all so afraid
of us coming to their front
door, even when it was obvious
that we were there to
help. They finally started
to recognize us and welcome
us, then they started
to help us. Some of the
women still showed signs
of their abuse. Some of
the children still ran and
hid.
We have known many
directors and many attitudes
and, thankfully,
many changes over the years. When we visit now
we go to a beautiful new home with five bedrooms
and four baths, private counseling rooms, a large
“family” room and a wonderful play room (with
glass doors!) for the kids. Most of the women
smile now and the children don’t hide. We are
part of the family. We built the house. And Texas
recognizes the best facility in the state!
It’s been a few years now since we had the dedication
ceremony yet we still continue to provide money, clothes,
housing items and other donations. If you want to know
how, who, what, or where you can contact anyone on the
Maverick Board page. We’d love to have you come join in
on the most fantastic joint effort of Volunteerism that we’ve

Catch My Draft
by James Shoffit, President
Ah...
this is the best
time of year.
The heat wave
seems to have passed; we narrowly escaped a
hurricane, at least one of our Porsches is in fine
working order and performing magnificently
at driving events, and I only have THREE
more President’s articles to write.
Being President isn’t nearly as hard as most people think.
Maverick Region is blessed with having one of the largest
group of very active volunteers of any club in the country.
So my main job is staying out of the way of progress, and
coordinating when bumps occur.
Now writing the articles – THAT is the hard work!
But along with the dwindling heat, there is an opposite
effect on our driving events. We have had our last two autocrosses,
and by the time this prints, we will have had our
last two time trials. We still have a few DE events left, and
these would be great opportunities to enjoy our magnificent
cars and tracks and this wonderful weather!
We also have a few more Sunday Drives left, as well as
some Happy Hours, Founders’ Day, and then the Christmas
Party.
And then... THEN I get to move on to the VERY BEST
job in the region – PAST President!
Check the calendar in Slipstream and on the web site for
upcoming events – we have exciting events for everyone. So
come on out and join the fun! See you soon!
[ed. George and John Q. among the first of a long line of
dead presidents....]

Maverick Minutes
by Charlie Davis, Secretary
Falgout.
Minutes of the September 3,
2008 Board Meeting
In attendance: Jan Mayo,
James Shoffit, Wendy Shoffit, Travis
Howard, Robyn Howard, Linda Bambina,
Tracey Gross, Richard Bradley, Bryan Bell,
Joel Nannis, Charlie Davis, Bob Lewis,
Bob Kuykendall, Clint Blackman, and Jim
James called the meeting to order at 7:02 PM. Having
no other duties at the moment, James passed.
Wendy reminded us that Clara Lewis has been helping
with the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House. Clara has suggested
that we again donate Wal-Mart gift cards during the holidays.
Wendy then read a letter from Lisa Huffaker. We suggested
that Jan publish it in Slipstream. Wendy requested we list
information on our website about needing a volunteer with
business skills. Finally, she read a thank you note from
Jean Frick who is recovering nicely from back surgery.
Clint reminded us that we have a special Sunday Drive
on September 21 st which will involve a trip to MSR during
the DE there. Then on October 19 th , he has scheduled another
Sunday Drive…this one to Commerce for a tour of Roy Smalley’s
restoration shop.
Tracey reported that plans for the Founder’s Day Banquet
are rolling along. She still plans to have a Casino Night in
conjunction with the banquet. The board was asked to approve
a $20.00 per person subsidy for the meal. Bob K said
we have adequate funds to do this. It was approved unanimously.
There will also be a silent auction at this event to
benefit the Hope House. The Holiday Party location has not
yet been finalized…she’s still searching for a location. She
plans to have Macaroni Grill cater this event. Tracey gave us
a hint that she would be around next year by discussing the
New Member Party in January.
Bob L then discussed Happy Hours. The next one
will be at Reata’s in Fort Worth. Bob will select a fixed
menu. The October Happy Hour will be at Uncle Julio’s on
Dallas North Parkway. In November he has selected Bugatti’s
Ristorante on NW Highway. Finally in December, it will be
the Big Bucks Brewery near Grapevine Mills Mall.
Richard, like James, (a man of few words) said he was in
a support role tonight.
Linda, explaining her presence, said that she had been
volunteered at Parade Charlotte to resurrect Roundup. She
said this will not be a serious event …everything will be a
gimmick event. It will start on Friday night and end at Sunday
noon. She’s planning on a $300 subsidy from PCA National
which will help keep the entry fees low. Even so, she
wondered if a $50 fee was too much. The consensus was t
hat it was not too much.
Robyn didn’t have much to say, so I didn’t write much
down and Bryan said he just came to get a free meal and cookies.
Travis was wearing three hats, so he had a lot to say. He
reported, in Clay’s absence, that there is an Autocross on
Sunday September 14 th …it will be at the Birdville stadium
parking lot. The last two Time Trials will be on the 27 th and
28 th of September. The nominating committee has candidates
for all officer positions: Voting and announcement of the
officers will be at Founders Day, or you can fill out and mail
the ballot found on page 2.
Joel (two hats) reported we have 1116 members and
822 affiliate members, for a total of 1938. He reported there
were already 121 people signed up for the next DE, which
8

will be on the 3.1 mile MSR course. In October, the DE at
MSR will use the 1.7 mile course. The last DE of the year
will be on November 8 th and 9 th and be at Eagles Canyon.
The 7 th may be an instructor’s day?
Charlie (two hats) gave the Treasurer $80 from Teri,
which were the proceeds from her last Rally. And he announced
that he had paid the Truxster Insurance and asked
the Treasurer for reimbursement.
Bob K held up the $80 dollars and said, ”We have money!”
He mentioned the Rangers owe us the $1000 deposit
back from Autocross #5, and will email Clay a reminder.
Bob also asked where the revenue proceeds were from Autocross
#5. Bryan B to get with him. Finally, Bob noted he
had received a bill from Eagles Canyon for damages to the
track, which Joel thought we should not pay, but Bob will
check with Colin Graidage regarding the details.
Looping back to James, he remembered that he had a
proposal from Jeff Pohlman (who owns the UPS Store in
Lewisville)… Jeff wants us to assist with a car show in
conjunction with a charity event sponsored by the shopping
center where his store is located.
Wendy said we will be printing the club directory in January.
It will not be sent out with Slipstream as we have done
in the past. Only people who request the directory will get
one and it will not be free. We will also allow any member
who does not want their name listed in the directory to opt
out.
James adjourned at 8:29 PM.

A Trip to Motorsport Ranch
By Scott Walthuis
Motorsport... For the majority of us it makes our
blood flow a little faster by providing the thrill
we soooo crave...
We had a great day
for the first Maverick
Region time trial at
Motorsport ranch! For
me it was a first to drive
a purpose built track.
It’s quite a challenge,
a lot to sort out and all
at once, The Fight to
maintain control over Bryan Bell, Chief TT Driving Instructor,
the ever changing conditions...
not to mention
driver’s meeting.
points out Corner Worker stations and
track layout during the early morning
the machine, strategy,
and the execution of it all in less than a couple minutes.
We seemed to get a refresher course on how all the delays
add up to less laps, I contributed
to this also! I’m
sure we’ll do better next
time. I’m looking forward
to getting whipped into
shape by the Mavericks
finest.
I’d like to send out a
special thanks to the core
group for their hard work
to plan and manage these
events. I for one am looking
forward to getting back to “The Ranch”...

What a Day to Remember
by Tannia Dobbins
Photos by Charlie Davis
About a year ago, or maybe during the Maverick
Christmas party, I got wind that we just
might have a Time Trial event at MSR in 2008.
When Travis Howard asked me “What do you think?” I was
speechless (and for those of you that know me ... well, that
is quite a sight to see).
James Shoffit proudly gives us
some great advice for the day.
Once I found my voice
you couldn’t shut me up. I
was elated, yet there were
so many questions ... How
do you work the corners?
Where would timing be?
What about the people that
have never run at MSR?
Wouldn’t it be a little scary
for some coming around Big
Bend and into Rattlesnake?
The list went on and on.
However, once the shock
wore off, I went into giddy
mode. This was going to be awesome! I had an advantage
to be sure. After all, I’ve run MSR in several DE’s ... both
on the long course and the
short course. Granted
I’m still a fairly new
driver but this would be
familiar territory to me.
One thing would be for
certain, I would finally
know just how fast (or
slow) my lap times were.
During the long
spring and summer LOTS
of preparation went into
setting this event up. It was not easy but those with the vision
saw it through. Finally track day arrived and what an
event it was! Sure we had some challenges like the wind
blowing over the timing
equipment and the oil
slick on the driving line
… but it was all worth it
and I’d do it all over again
in a heartbeat.
Jeff Herrmann shows us a very unique
way to run Rattlesnake...maybe more
exciting, but probably a little slower
than Chuck!
Chuck McCoy shows us how to
successfully maneuver through
Rattlesnake.
Oh yeah, as for my
times, well, let’s just say
I need to make sure I’m at
all the DE’s next year :-)

Racing in the Netherlands
by Ed Gross at Zandvoort
I
was in Amsterdam towards the end of March on business.
Due to the holiday weekend, I had to split my
meetings across a weekend (what a bummer). I’ve
been to The Netherlands many times, and have spent a good
deal of time in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Einhoven, and have
always enjoyed the Dutch and the country. My free weekend
allowed me to do some sightseeing in parts of Holland
that I’ve never visited before.
The main attraction for me was a sports car racing event
at Zandvoort, about 20 minutes west of Amsterdam on the
coast. There
were 5 classes
of racing,
from BMW
130i Series
race cars,
to Formula
Fords, and
a few other
spec racing
classes. I saw
The view of the front straight and pits from a number of
on top of the pits. The front straight is the very good
only flat spot for miles around. and closely
contested races in all classes.
The feature races were the BMW Series 130i Cup. Not
only did the races feature a number of good series drivers,
but Jan Lammers, the Dutch former F1 driver, also did a
respectable job in both races. Something happened in the
first race, and he was assessed a “drive through penalty”
which translated into English, means a drive through penalty.
All track announcements were made in Dutch, so as best
as I could tell, Lammers was speeding in the pits. He still
finished 4 th overall. In the 2 nd Bimmer race, he finished 3 rd
despite having a decidedly inferior car to the 1 st and 2 nd place
cars – he was trying everything to keep up and get around
them, but in the end, had to settle for 3 rd .
Other than the front straight, there are no other level
areas on the track. Every turn is either going up, down, and/
or changing camber. This track would be a real hoot to
drive. While hosting more races in the past, this track, like
many others, is one that big powerful modern cars can’t run
because of their speed and power. It’s way too tight and has
almost no run off in some areas. One series of turns, called
Geralbocht, goes left slightly before going up right over a
small hill, and then ending in a tight uphill left hairpin. Add
some brief snow squalls, and cars were entering the following
turn pointed in all different directions. In fact, after his 3 rd
place finish in the second BMW race, Lammers kissed the
Photos by Ed Gross
Armco on the cool down lap. More than one car backed into
the Armco during the day at the exit to Geralbocht
Yep, it’s the same day and same track
30 minutes of sun, 30 minutes of snow, all day long
This is the hairpin exit to Geralbrocht
There were several spec races, featuring small Renaults
Clios in one race and tiny Suzuki’s in another. The Suzuki’s
had such small engines that you couldn’t hear the engines
when they were running at full throttle down the front
straight – all you could hear was the tire noise. In addition
to Jan Lammers, a number of members of the Bleekemolen
family raced in a number of the events, I heard at least 3 of
them racing.
Zaandvoort is a small coastal town, with topography
more like the southern part of the Netherlands, with rolling
hills, as opposed to the relatively flat and low lying areas
around Amsterdam. It’s always easy to get around The Netherlands
given the efficient train system. I spent the previous
day down at The Hague. I didn’t get to experience much
of this historic city, since it was Easter and most everything
was closed.
Nor did I get an explanation why there were four men
dressed in rabbit suites playing Dixieland Jass on the pier by the beach -
but I have to admit the Dixieland was pretty good.

My only complaint about the entire trip was the French
Fries. With lunch and dinner, they served the most tasteless
and bland French fries. At the racetrack, they were serving
French fries at 9:00 in the morning with mayonnaise on top.
What a waste of mayonnaise. I’m really not sure these fries
weren’t made out of cardboard.
The only difference I saw in track procedures was
a furled checkered was displayed to indicate the last lap.
Zandvoort is right on the coast of the North Sea, and every
hour a strong 30 mph wind would kick up and it would
snow hard for 20 to 30 minutes. Then the sun would come
out and dry everything out. Given what the weather was doing
to the track conditions, there were surprisingly few incidents
due to the weather or changing track conditions. The
biggest impact I saw was when someone lost it coming out
of Geralbocht, then pulled out on the track and was moving
slowly. An approaching car apparently didn’t see the slow
moving car, even though it was right in front of him, or he
just wanted to bend some metal, because he did. It was a
fun day at the track, it’s was definitely worth the 20 minute
train ride from Amsterdam to the track, even though snow
and I don’t mix very well. Can’t wait for my next trip to
The Netherlands.

Happy Hour at Texas Land & Cattle
by Bob Lewis
This August the Happy Hour people met at Texas
Land & Cattle Steakhouse in Frisco. There were
18 that signed the who’s here roster. But there
were at least 25 present. It was a beautiful night in North
Texas.
Clara and I tried to get there early but alas we were just
a few minutes early. It seems there is always more traffic
on the roads between Irving and the Frisco area then you
think is possible. We felt this restaurant would have plenty
of parking. This Texas Land & Cattle is beside Stonebrier
Mall. So there are a lot of shops and restaurants sharing the
parking. Inside the restaurant there weren’t enough customers
to account for the cars outside.
Inside we were given our own room with a fire place no
less. But being in August we just admired from a distance
this additional source of heat. We did our usual thing, which
is having a beverage and get better acquainted. Then we sat
down to dinner. Once seated we occupied about one half of
the table space. The food was good and so was the service.
Mommy and Daddy Thaler brought baby Addison.
Notice from her
picture here she
is asleep. She
slept the whole
time. In talking
with both Marc
and Bonnie
the baby has
adjusted to her
food and sleeps
a lot. This is not
typical to most
Sleepy Miss Addison
of the babies
we know. They, including Addison, are very lucky.
There were six new couples or singles to attend this Happy
Hour. And some stated they finally made it because the
site was convenient to their home. For this vary reason, we
do move the locations where we meet around the metroplex.
If you live or
work in Fort
Worth for
example it is
a long trek
to Frisco and
vise versa in
the just after
work time.
At the
Lynn and Thomas Jones
Happy Hours

the attendees have a chance to learn about the many activities
the Maverick Region has. For instance a number of people
are surprised at how many of the Mavericks that drive their
new Porsches in the track events (DE’s, Autocross’ and
Time trials). We do have other events when your Porsche is
a primary participant (Tours, Rallies, and Concours). Then
we have a number of social events and special events (swap
meets, and dealer Tech programs).
Our next Happy Hour is in Fort Worth at an upscale
restaurant, Reata. Then on October 16 th the Happy Hour
goes to Uncle Julio’s in
the Addison area. Hope
to see you there.
