Welcome, New Members!
You have just joined one of the best and
most active PCA Regions in the country!
Some clubs focus solely on social events,
while others focus on just show and shine
concours events. Maverick Region is a
club that focuses on providing our members
with the tools necessary to have the
ultimate in driving experiences.
You will notice that our region has
many Time Trials, Autocrosses, and Drivers’
Education (DE) events (in
addition
to a yearly Club Race). This has been the
spirit of the region for quite some time.
in the country. Make sure you take full
advantage of the driving experiences we
have to offer.
Racing is not ALL we focus on,
though. If racing doesn’t suit you, we have
monthly happy hours, three monthly lunch
gatherings, regular dinner socials, frequent
driving tours on some fabulous roads in
and around Texas, driving rallies (fun for
the whole family),and regular opportunities
to support our perpetual charity, The
Huffaker Hughes Hope House.
If we don’t have what you’re looking
for, just ask us...we might just add something
extra to the calendar. Please also feel
free to share article ideas (and submissions)
to editor@mavpca.org.
We’d love to hear from you!
