Slipstream - September 2008

Maverick Minutes
by Charlie Davis, Secretary
Maverick Region Board Meeting
on August 6th 2008…
In attendance: Teri Davis,
Charlie Davis, Clint Blackman, James Shoffit,
Mark Gluck, Bob Lewis, Wendy Shoffit, Jan
Mayo, Lisa Steele, Travis Howard, Robyn
Howard, Bob Kuykendall, Tracey Gross,
Richard Segui, and Richard Bradley.
James called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
James said he was investigating whether ICAL can be
used successfully with Microsoft Outlook…it’s supposed
to and he’s working on it. It will give Windows users
somewhat the same automatic calendar functions as the
Mac users have enjoyed for years.
Clint said we have Sunday Drives…or at least we will
in September.
Teri said her August 23 “Loopy” rally was almost
complete. It will end at Braums for ice cream…seemed
appropriate for the summer.
Charlie said Richard Diller wants help getting the
sweeping machine at the Mineral Ring operating. Wendy
offered to get him the name of the BMW club member who
“owns” the sweeper. Richard has volunteered to sweep the
track on Friday night prior to our TTs. Charlie admitted he
was a failure at doing TT scoring. He has not been able
to find the manual logs for Time Trial #3 and #4. Without
these logs it will be impossible to determine which runs
were the official runs.
Travis has two more time trials coming up this year. He
then switched hats and said that the Nominating Committee
was leaning toward re-nominating the existing officers. After
the laughter died down, we squashed that idea! He went to
Plan B. He still plans to schedule a debriefing meeting for
Time Trials #3/#4.
Robyn announced that we have a calendar (as she madly
took notes about changes/additions).
Richard Segui was visiting us again and admitted that
he needed driving instruction. It became clear to him when
he had a spin at the recent DE event. We told him to come
to the autocross on Sunday… we also have instruction available
at our autocrosses and it’s a little slower speed.
Lisa said we have 27 advertisers and she has sent out 27
invoices to them.
Jan announced that the editor is getting tired and
error prone. For example, the August Slipstream cover says
“July!” Richard B, Jan’s Slipstream assistant, said he was
just observing (everything except the front covers).
Tracey said again that the Father’s Day Picnic was a
good event. She is planning more recognition for members
at the Founders Day banquet, which will be a casino night.
She plans to not have a DJ. Roundup will be the weekend of
November 22. Linda Bambina and Angie Gaines are heading
up this activity.
Bob K said we have money, as he waived the $130 he
got from Teri in the air. He said he has paid for Pennington
Field and the Mineral Ring and has also written a check to
the Hope House for $1390 which Bob Lewis delivered.
Bob L announced that Clara is doing well, after throat
surgery…but she’s mute for a month. He said the Southlake
Happy Hour event went well, however the Southlake Tavern
filed for Chapter 11 and closed the day after our Happy Hour
was held there! We literally “closed the place.” The Happy
