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 8
Hour this month will be in Frisco. Then in September we are going to Reata in downtown Fort Worth. It’s going to be a bit expensive, but they have free valet parking after 5:00 PM. But he doesn’t know what they do with the cars while we’re having dinner! Mark said he had a fresh list of ads to create and would get started. He said he was current on insurance certificate requests. Clay said the Autocross at Lot F of the Ballpark in Arlington on Sunday would start at 7:30 AM. We decided that due to noise concerns by this City of Arlington, we would exclude un-muffled cars for this event and run the loud, muffled cars in the second group. The problem is the proximity of the Sheraton hotel. Clay wanted the Swap Meet advertisement to be sent to Zone 5 Regions. Clay also said a volunteer had already designed the next Autocross, which will be back at Birdville stadium. Wendy, working with Linda on planning for Roundup, wondered if a 2 ½ day event (as is traditional) is the best format? We decided it was. Clint, changing hats, said he was going to attend Boxtoberfest in Fredericksburg. He said any car, not just Boxsters, can attend. Wendy decided to attend, in Jan’s car. All the news that’s fit to print! James adjourned at 8:12 PM. 9
