Mik e Brodig an, Pr eside nt
An F1 race in
Austin, Texas!
Be still my
heart! Last year, in my not so
personal letter to Bernie E. and
Tony George, I urged them to
get over themselves and reinstitute
the F1 race at Indy. I
also suggested using the IRL cars for an American Grand
Prix. I take it all back. Austin is perfect. It is just far
enough away to make it a fun road trip and there is 6th
street and lots of other fun hangouts including the near
famous Crown and Anchor. I can imagine Mavericks, Hill
Country, and Lone Star, and all our other Zone 5 friends
having special events planned to make the race even more
enjoyable. If this really happens, we should have a great
new track to try out for DE’s, and maybe a Club Race.
Game on.
Last month I suggested saving August 6th, 7th, and
8th for our annual Round-Up celebration. Now is the time
to sign up. We have a great line-up of things to do, and
the cost is darn near free. Only $45 gets you a great show
at the Grapevine Opry, a catered dinner, Hors d’oeuvres,
door prizes, fun stuff like show and shine, and road trips.
We even have some time to do a little wine tasting and
investigate the unique shops in Downtown Grapevine. We
have negotiated a great rate at a hotel near Grapevine Mills
where we can gather to enjoy the great company. If you
choose not to stay at the hotel, come join us anyway. Let’s
make this a gigantic party. Check the ad in this month’s
Slipstream, or check it out on our web. See ya there!
Robyn Howard has threatened me with a near death
experience if I didn’t enter an autocross soon. Well, I
stopped by the June event at Pennington Field in Bedford.
I thought I was just going to stop by and say Hi. Wrong.
She spotted me, and with a look that struck fear into my
very soul, told me to get a helmet and report back. Yes
Ma’am! Bryan Bell jumped into the right seat, and helped
me thru the maze. My times were starting to get respectable,
so I told Bryan I was going to go it alone. I did pretty well
except I forgot to drive about ½ the course. No wonder my
times were so low. I think I need a little more practice.
I think he has been doing some of them since before I
was born. Before my car was born for sure. For being
everywhere at once, including working with us at the Hope
House, Joel is the July MAV of the Month.
For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver
Fox in Grapevine is giving Joel dinner for two at their
award winning steak house.
Joel, thanks for all you do. (BTW, you owe me a free
black flag pass!)

Richard Bradley, Managing Editor
And the saga continues! I found
another Boxster that was a
couple years newer with all the
extras I was looking for. Wow, could this
really be true? It’s seal grey with a metropole
blue interior and top. Heated sport seats and
a complete aero kit, and a 3.6 conversion.
Four days after taking delivery I was driving
it into work knowing everyone would be keeping an eye out
for the new car. With all eyes on me, well maybe the car, as
I backed into my shady premier parking spot, I lose power as
white smoke billows out from behind me. “Great, what is it this
time?!!” As I’m getting out, a friend points out the water on
the ground and as I smell the liquid I realize it isn’t water but
gasoline. Poof, I hear the sound of the ignition and I start yelling
for a fire extinguisher... “NO REALLY, GET IT NOW!” As I
douse the flame, I come to the realization of how blessed I am.
Just think if it would have happened on the road side or even
worse, in my garage, I could have lost everything. Instead, it
happened next to my place of business with everyone watching
and a fire extinguisher being produced within seconds...WOW!
As I stated last month, enjoy every minute while driving your
Porsche, one never knows when it will be your last.
Hope to see you soon, Enjoy

Maverick Minutes
Lisa Steele, Secretary
We were treated with a
beautiful reading by Linda
Bambina as everyone
nibbled on their dinner. Linda read from
the book she created using photos taken
from the beginning to the completion of
the Hope House backyard project. What
a wonderful reflection of the time and
effort of those who gave to this project. Thank You, Linda!!
The first order of business for our June meeting was
to approve our minutes from the May meeting. Mike
Brodigan made a motion to approve the minutes. Clint
Blackman seconded the motion. All around approval in
the room…minutes approved. Mike’s second item on
his agenda was Round Up information. This wonderful
event is scheduled for Aug. 6th-8th. The cost will be $45
per person. Participants will stay at the Springhill Suites
in Grapevine. Mike gave the group a run-down of the
schedule for the weekend which looks busy and absolutely
FUN!! On Friday the 6th there will be a happy hour at
Love and War in Texas. The next morning everyone can
enjoy a Car Show followed by an “Elvis is Back” show in
the afternoon. Next, comes a wine tasting, then appetizers
and drinks at the Silver Fox. If you have not had enough,
then you will be treated with a wonderful dinner back
at the hotel catered by Esparza’s Restaurant. The next
morning, a road trip to RUF is scheduled with lunch
provided by Hans and a nice tour of his beautiful shop.
This sounds like a action-packed weekend! Mike still had
a few items on his agenda to discuss. Mike reported that
we have paid for everything we have done at the Hope
House. Currently, we do not need to ask for any more
money. Last on Mike’s list was information about setting a
nomination committee for the upcoming Board election in
November. We must have a committee set in July. We will
not have a July Board meeting due to Parade activities, so
Mike will work on getting a committee together. Whew…
Mike finally said all he needed to say.
Clint Blackman announced that he has a Sunday Drive
scheduled for June 13th through the East Texas Trails to
the Blueberry Ridge Farm. I bet it will be a Thrill on the
Hill!!
Jim Falgout reported that the club must pay sales tax
on items but we do not charge sales tax on items that we
sell. Also, “We have money.”
Joel Nannis graced us with his presence this month to
give us an update on Membership. We currently have 1,110
Primary Members, 783 Affiliate Members which totals
1,893 Members. MRPCA Rocks!! Joel also announced
that the Club Race went very well. He commended all
committee members for doing an excellent job for making
it a success. We even received a wonderful compliment
from the Scrutineer who said “this was the BEST
organized race he has ever been to.” Joel also announced
that a special award was given to Jan Mayo for ALL of
her years of dedication and hard work as GRID QUEEN.
Last on Joel’s list was announcing that DE’s are going well
with the next one scheduled in September at MSR.
Carey Spreen announced that he will be helping with
the Fun Drive for Round Up. It will be a 2 tier event
where the driver can simply take the tour over to RUF or
compete in the Rally.
Pat Friend announced that he has found a company
that will do credit card sized name badges. He thought
it would be a good idea to give members who attend any
of the Maverick events one of these name badges. The
name badge would include the person’s name and their car
information. The cost will be about $350 per 100. Clint
Blackman made a motion that we order 500 badges then
re-evaluate in several months to see if we should continue.
Denny Payne seconded the motion. All yes’s in the room…
motion passed. Pat also announced that he would be
helping out with the “Porsches in the Park.” Jack Griffin
chimed in to encourage everyone to come on out to the
Concours within the Concours at Cooper Aerobic Center.
The Best of Show prize is a $4,000 complete physical
from Cooper. Other prizes include free memberships,
$800 worth of prizes from Boardwalk Porsche, and the
top prize for the Porsche winner is a beautiful 911 model.

Travis Howard reported that the May 16th Time Trial/
Autocross had a decent turn-out with an interesting course
design. He also noted that the Time Trial at MSR was pretty
full with minor incidents…just some fluids on the track
but otherwise everything ran smoothly. The Autocross for
June 6th at Pennington currently has 24 people signed up.
Bryan Bell will make sure Carey Spreen has insurance
for his Fun Drive at Round Up.
Lisa Steele thanked Andrea Bell and Christy Payne for
all of their hard hospitality work at the Club Race…the
BEST girls to have by your side!!
Christy Payne reported that the Happy Hour at Kincaid’s
had a little more than a dozen people in attendance.
Father’s Day at Speed Zone is set for Saturday June 19th.
Zoom! Zoom! Christy also added that the Founder’s Day/
Christmas Party is moving along and she is working out all
of the details. Autocross/Time Trials will have their own
separate awards Party.
Denny Payne reported that the website is going good
and that the Slipstream ads look great on the website.
Denny still needs for Chairpersons to give him dates of
their events so they can be added to the calendar. Mr.
Payne is also kickin’ around an idea about having “selfserve
classifieds” on the website. Sounds cool to me!
Wendy Shoffit reported that there were 64 racers and
43 people driving the DE at the May Club Race. She
also announced that clubregistration.net is now accepting
credit cards and the fee is slightly less than PayPal. Wendy
also added that Parade is in about 4 weeks and for those
planning on going there is a Parade get together on June
22nd. As Wendy is always planning ahead, she asked the
Board if we want to do a new Directory for the upcoming
year. Everyone agreed that it would be great for the New
Board to have a new directory.
Jack Griffin had nothing else to say since he already
gave his input about the Auto in the Park at the Cooper
Aerobic Center.
Bob Lewis was also present but had nothing to report
on.
Chris Christensen announced that the next Happy Hour
is scheduled for June 17th at Wildwood Grill in Southlake.
More Happy Hour locations will be added soon.
Richard Bradley gave a big Thank You to Christy
for all of the new ads she created…they look awesome!
Richard also wants people who are going to Parade to take
lots of pictures and plan on writing an article…PLEASE!
Jan Mayo announced that Pat Friend will be the new
Advertisement Chair. For those of you who have not heard,
Jan will be moving to Colorado Springs in August. Jan -
your presence at all of the events will be greatly missed.
Please keep in touch with all of your Maverick friends!!
Linda Bambina feels like she has been on a roller
coaster ride for the past several months getting every
detail taken care of for the completion of the Hope House
Backyard Project. She had many words of thanks for those
who helped her along the way which included Jan Mayo,
Mike Brodigan, Wendy Shoffit, and Christy Payne. Linda
also keeps in close contact with Lisa Huffaker and Lisa
gave Linda some astounding information about how many
clients have come through the doors of the Hope House.
In 3½ years, there have been 3,500 clients needing the
services of the Hope House.
Mike had a few reminders before we wrapped
everything up for the evening.
• No Board Meeting in July
• Bryan Bell will be running the September Board
Meeting
• Mav of the Month…
We honor Joel Nannis this month as our Mav of the
Month.

As a Porsche enthusiast, you understand the thrill
of driving that only a Porsche can deliver. Texas’
only Porsche Premier Dealer, Park Place Porsche,
has a team of experts who appreciate your passion
and will help you modify your vehicle into something
unique: Built by Porsche. Designed by you.
The owner’s dream was to design a modern version
of the revered 1973 911 RS. The engine, chassis,
and body had been significantly reconstructed
to ‘create’ that ’73 RS from an ’89 911 Carrera.
Since the RS was known for legendary handling,
our prime focus was to balance the chassis
dynamics and overall handling with the increased
engine performance. The combined body
enhancements, weight reduction, suspension
mods & performance upgrades have transformed
this 911 into a ‘modern classic’.
Now, thanks to our state-of-the-art equipment and
factory-trained technicians, this car stays glued to
the road and is even more of a blast to drive. Park
Place Porsche has the expertise you need to get
your Porsche up to speed.

Porsches, Dinosaurs and Water
By Jack DuFon, age 14
The scent of rain was
growing as we all met at the
Duncanville Whataburger.
We were unknowingly
about to embark on a
perilous journey that
would challenge our belief
that we would return home
with a clean car.
After a brief drivers’ meeting discussing
our route, we lined up and began the 30
mile trek to Cleburne. All 23 participants
were gathered in formation and roaring
down Highway 67. Soon after, we stopped at a local
Braums for a restroom break. Unfortunately for me, my
father wouldn’t let me eat any ice cream in the car.
Bummer. Near Cleburne we diverged from the
highway onto small country roads. The scenery was
magnificent! The soft light from the dark clouds
and the water in the air made for a surreal vista.
After a spirited drive we found ourselves
redirected by the GPS. Fueled by our trust, we
followed the indicated route (from the GPS) and
were pleasantly
surprised by a
lightly traveled
narrow country
road. All was
going well until it started
to rain. It wasn’t falling
hard but rain is rain,
especially to a covered,
hand-washed, loved and cared-for piece of German
engineering. As usual my dad was trying to avoid washing
the car, so he was sweating bullets the whole drive.
A short while later we faced a mighty challenge. Right
after the road turned
to cut limestone (!)
we found ourselves
facing a fourinch-deep
water
crossing. Looking
like the Hoover
Dam overflow canal,
we crossed inchby-inch
and finally
made it across with

a nice undercarriage wash. We continued down the
road. And then in the wake of a five foot flood gauge we
were looking at a lake. Yes… another water crossing!
This time about six inches deep,
which was problematic because
of our lowered 4-½ inch ground
clearance. Lucky for us, the 911
in front of us also had a lowered
suspension so we knew if he
didn’t make it, we could just turn
around. Our group began to
cross, slowly and not so surely.
Amazingly we all made it,
without anyone stalling or getting washed away.
Finally we arrived at Dinosaur Valley. We followed
the park guide to
the river and she
directed us to some
fossils. We saw the
fossils but in order
to see the actual
dinosaur tracks,
you had to cross a
river. Under
n o r m a l
circumstances
there were dry
stones to walk
across, but as
we all knew
there was more water than planned. The stones were
submerged in a couple inches of water which made for a
slippery crossing. Too
slippery. Four people in
our group fell but it was
worth it because the
prehistoric tracks were
amazing. As we dried
ourselves off and began to
depart, we realized after
all, we might need that car
wash.
There’s nothing like a good car wash with your SD buddies!

Cliff’s Ramblings
by Cliff Blackshear
I sat in an ecology class at Tarrant
Community College in 1970 and looked
at slides of a river that caught fire in Ohio
due to the pollutants that had been dumped
into the river and tributary streams (some
legally) for ages. Saw photos of Japanese
citizens standing at oxygen stations
getting a breath of oxygen, red faced, eyes
watering etc. The class was based
on science, and in retrospect, was
geared to get us young recent
high school grads to understand
the impact of what we were doing
to our planet.
The scientific method as a
means to solutions was reinforced
in our classes. Ask a question, do
background research, construct a
hypothesis, test yer hypothesis by
doing experiments, analyze yer
data and draw a conclusion, then
communicate yer results.
Since that time I’ve witnessed
carbon monoxide reduction
mandates to reduce photochemical smog. Oxides of nitrogen
reduction (also a photochemical smog that can damage lung
tissue), the banning of dichlorodifluoromethane (R12 Freon
used in air conditioning systems) as it was damaging to the
ozone layer, Hydro carbon reduction etc. etc..
Burning petroleum was always at the top or near the top
in creating these unwanted emissions. I suffered thru a lot
of bad automotive manufactures’ engineering answers for
emission reduction.
Porsche has always responded with some pretty amazing
engineering. Always went way beyond what was mandated and
set the reduction of pollutants bar very high for themselves.
Now it is CO2 that has been postulated as a problem. A
very big problem.
I believe in data and the scientific method.
I became interested in the CO2 emission investigation
over a decade ago. Plus I have always thought that fossil fuels
were a problem for many reasons and I cannot possibly be
given enough space here to explain all my thoughts on this
subject.
Currently NASA, NCAR, NOAA, many of our European
friends etc. are gathering information and data that simply
seems to point to this hypothesis as being correct.
So now what? Will the Gulf Stream be interrupted and a
new ice age occurs? Polar caps melt and many areas go under
Ponder this...
water? Weather patterns go crazy with droughts, flooding,
crazy hurricane seasons?
Or will our planet respond to huge amounts of C02 in
ways no one has envisioned? Is the entire scientific community
wasting a lot of time on this one? Probably not............
I certainly do not know. But I will follow this with great
interest.
I’ll wait for the scientific
community to either be given the
means they need to bring this to a
conclusion or watch the politicians
of the world make decisions and
hope they do not screw things up
too bad.
Meanwhile I cannot wrap my
brain around a Porsche without
a flat 6 engine making all the
right sounds. Will they go for full
electric power plants? Maximum
torque at zero RPM. Where
is the electric power going to
come from? Battery technology
currently in use is a joke. Rare
earth materials being used that are not in great supply. Just
a bridge technology till better ideas come along apparently.
Hybrid Porsches are on the verge of hitting our shores.
That’s a fact. And they will not be slow goofy looking Prius
wannabes! It is going to be most interesting.
Porsche is about to require all dealers to have someone
on staff in the shop that has been extensively trained to be
able to render the electric drive systems harmless before work
begins. The training will be extensive and it puts a technician
in the position of declaring, “Ok, work on this system now,
and you will not be jolted with a huge life threatening
voltage.” I have tried to figure out who in my shop should be
saddled with this responsibility. Only one tech per dealer will
initially be trained for this task. Porsche just does not have
the training capacity to train multiple techs for each dealer
in a time frame that we would like to see. It is our reality. As
a shop foreman I feel the need to make it my responsibility.
Yet I want everyone in the shop to have this knowledge as
soon as possible. Nonetheless it is a huge change in workshop
dynamics. That is my reality....
Still I find it most interesting and cannot wait to see how
things shake out in the future....
Just Ramblin Along!

Club Racing is Not Just For the Boys
by Lisa Steele
Have you ever felt an equal
amount of pure nervousness
and excitement all in one
moment? Club Racing is that ball of
nervousness and excitement all rolled
up tightly in the pit of your stomach and
MORE exciting than I ever thought it
really would be. Many questions went
through my head once I made
the decision to take the next step
from DE’s to Club Racing. Will
I be able to keep up with all of
the men? Will the car handle
two drivers or will it have lots
of mechanical issues? Will I be
able to be aggressive, but level
headed and smooth at the same
time? I decided to just jump
right in with both feet and have
FUN! Everyone I spoke to prior
to the race weekend said that I
needed to have a goal, so my goal
was to simply finish the weekend
CLEAN.
Saturday morning practice
gave me the opportunity to get used to the HANS device that
I have never worn before and feel the handling of the car.
Everything was feeling great until the realization hit me that
I have to do practice starts and a fun race after lunch. Here
went the nerves again! With some helpful advice from my
wonderful mentor, Colin Graidage, and my very supportive
husband, I took a few deep breaths and got excited once
again. As we started our engines and went out for the
practice starts, the adrenaline was definitely pumping. As we
lined up twoby-two
at the
back straight,
I actually
said out loud
to myself “I
can’t believe
that I am
about to do
this.” I was
completely
surrounded by these incredibly loud beautiful cars and
there was no backing out now. We came down turn 11 and
although I could not actually see the green flag, I knew we
were green because everyone was accelerating and taking
off from me. I made it through corner 1 and the rest of the
corners without any incident…I did lose a position but “I
20
Photos by John Sandusky
Made It.” I was starting to get a little more confidence as
we practiced the other two starts and I began my first “fun
race.”
Once I got off track, I felt a sense of relief, but
disappointment too because I just was not very strong with
the starts and I was a bit too timid. After watching Mark
take the car out and be 3 seconds faster and do the starts
with such intensity, I knew I had a lot to learn. Once again,
Mark gave me some great advice
that night and really helped me
visualize what I was doing wrong
and what I needed to do to be
more successful on the starts.
So, I had a good night’s sleep
(okay only about 5 hours because
I had so many things to think
about) and I woke up ready to get
the “real race day” under way. As
all of the cars lined the grid ready
to go out for our first sprint race,
I just kept saying to myself “stay
ON the bumper of the car in front
of me and don’t let there be any
space between me and that car in
front of me.” When I saw that
James Shoffit was in front of me, a sense of relief came over
me because I knew he had lots of experience with starts and
I knew that if I stayed ON his bumper, he could “help” me
through corner
1. It Worked! I
think I actually
passed a car,
too! I was
starting to feel
the aggression
within me and
I had a great
time dicing it
up with James
and a few other cars…still have a lot to learn on “closing the
door” on those people wanting to pass me. Again, I finished
the race CLEAN and I was ready for the second sprint race.
The second sprint race was ready to begin and I was
feeling hot and tired, but was ready to go do the best I could.
My start was not as good as the last one, but the race was
definitely on. You see, I believe there is a “little tiger” in all
of us and I must say that I definitely found that tiger within
me during this race. I would like to give a big Thank You to
Marilynn Moseley for helping me pull out that tiger within!
Grrrrr….

Marilynn and I hung with each other the entire race
and even though we are not in the same class, I knew I
would follow her every move
and finally on the last lap of
the race, I got around her and
looked for that checker flag. I
felt like Lewis Hamilton taking
a victory lap around the track
as I vigorously waved to each
corner worker…this will be the
closest I ever get to an F1 victory
lap. Once again, I finished the
race CLEAN. YAY!!!
I was able to experience this
absolutely wonderful weekend
with the help and support of
MANY people. I can
never thank Christy
Payne and Andrea
Bell enough for
taking over the
Hospitality duties
for the entire weekend
so that I could
go drive my first
Club Race. You girls are the BEST!!! My mentor Colin
Graidage checked on me the entire weekend to make
sure everything
was going okay
even when he
was having some
issues with his
car. I could not
have asked for a
better mentor than
you Mr. Colin!
The support from
every Club Racer
and our very own
Mavericks is so
overwhelming that
you just can’t help
but smile and have a good time. Last, but never least, I have
to give the biggest thanks to my incredibly wonderful
husband. He supported me throughout the entire weekend
with such positive encouragement and I never felt like I was
driving “his car.” This was Us doing something that WE both
enjoy doing together. I encourage All of the ladies out there
to go take the most exhilarating ride you will ever take!

Member Spotlight: Scott Stubbs
by Andrea Bell
This month’s spotlight is on
Scott Stubbs. Scott is a new
member with a 2002 Boxster
S. He said, “It is a
blast to drive and
I get such a kick
out of having an
air conditioner
that works while riding or driving
a Porsche.” He added, “I have just
been amazed at the handing of
the Boxster - what a fine piece of
craftsmanship and art. The lines of
the car just pull you to it with such
beauty.”
Scott said his first ride in a
Porsche was on the way to the
hospital to be born. He has owned
several 914’s in the late 80’s and
90’s and just loved them. However, with a growing family
and no air conditioner, practicality took over and he sold his
914 in 1997.
Scott added that he grew up in the back seat of a 911.
His dad, Fred Stubbs, has been a member of PCA since 1970,
joining after one of his tours in Vietnam. Fred has held
several positions in
PCA over the years
including President
of the Carrera and
West Texas regions
and he currently
serves as Vice
President of the
West Texas Region.
Scott said one
of his best memories
in a Porsche was
taking his dad’s 911
on a date in high
school. He added,
“The sweet young
lady I took on that date… I am dating again 24 years later
and she is still just as sweet!” Scott has lived in the DFW
area since December, 1996 and has worked for Oncor since
1991. Scott shared that he has four wonderful kids. Emily
graduates from High School in June. She currently works
at Six Flags part time and will be starting college this fall.
Ashlyn will be a sophomore in the fall. She loves to ice
skate and has been skating and competing since 2004.
Haley, Scott’s youngest daughter, will start 7th grade in the
fall and enjoyed playing the violin in the 5th and 6th grade
orchestra. Seth is Scott’s son and will be in 3rd grade this
fall. He is just a ball of energy.
Scott is looking forward to meeting some of the other
members and is excited to be a member of PCA! We are
pleased to have Scott and his family, join our Maverick
family.
If you are a new member and would like to be considered
for our monthly “SPOTLIGHT’ feature, please contact me

Happy Hour at Abuelo’s
by Chris Christensen
So, does everyone know
what Abuelo translates to in
English? Sure you do if you
remember your High School Spanish.
Heck I can’t even remember High School.
Well it means Grandfather. What is
unique about the word Abuelo’s – it has
been Americanized with an apostrophe.
With the apostrophe we don’t think it will translate back to
Spanish very well. What is somewhat interesting about all
of this; if you ever visit Montreal and especially Quebec, the
apostrophe in the word McDonald’s has been removed. It
wouldn’t be acceptable in the strict French language in that
region of the world. Such is the way of languages, and mind
you I am no linguist so corrections are always appreciated.
A few highlights regarding Abuelo’s; the restaurant
is very spacious and even has a separate room for special
gatherings. Its Tex-Mex food is above average while pricing is
moderate. The décor blends the unusual with the Traditional.
Murals and an overall Spanish or Mediterranean motif lends
to a South of
the Border feel.
And their Salsa
should not go
unnoticed, it
is pretty darn
good. One
might say that
Abuelo’s is to
Mexican what
P.F. Chang’s is to
Chinese. They
do a good job
and with around 40 restaurants in 14 states it is a growing
and very popular Texas-run chain.
Lest we forget we would like to thank Bob and Clara
Lewis for their dedication over the last two and a half
years for organizing many Happy Hours. Happy Hour has
been a good forum to catch up with your fellow Maverick
discussing your car or various events conducted by our
active club. Bob and Clara are not going away, of course,
just changing the guard so we know, and hope to see them
both at future Happy Hours. Thanks to you both!
Some small snippets of information: We understand
that Hope House is doing well and what our club set out to
do for the children’s playground will be successful - Parade
in 2011 has been moved to Savannah, Georgia. That should
be a fantastic venue. Savannah is an absolutely beautiful
city to visit – Many are chomping at the bit to speed-up the
clock so we get to St, Charles, Illinois, this year’s Parade
venue ASAP. Thanks to Wendy Shoffit for organizeimg a
pre-departure meeting at Spring Creek BBQ located at 315
State Hwy 114, Grapevine, Texas for June 22, 2010. It was
fun for all in attendance.
For future Happy Hour gatherings we are attempting to
organize venues at least six months in advance. At the time
of writing, our next Happy Hour was held at the Wildwood
24

Grill located at 2700 E. Southlake Boulevard, Southlake,
Texas on June 17, 2010. This location was previously known
as the Southlake
Tavern. Within
days of a past
Happy Hour held
at this location,
the restaurant
was closed by the
corporate owners.
It is now owned
and operated by a
private individual
and his wife
who both live in
Southlake. We
hope everyone will try to make this new Happy Hour
venue. We are attempting to spread out locations for all
future Happy Hours – the July Happy Hour will be at
Uncle Buck’s and the August venue will be held at the
Trinity Pub in Dallas. From there we will move north into
Plano and so on. We did receive some recommendations for
restaurants and that is very much appreciated. We will work
to support your requests. See you all at the next Happy
Hour.
See you all there!

Autocross #3 - “Autocross Newbie Advendure”
By Brad Nesbit
The adrenaline is still pumping as I sit here
recounting my first autocross event. My wife
(Jen) and I joined the Porsche Club last October
after purchasing a Boxster. We have been to a few socials
and a DE. After talking to other members we decided
that both of us should try driving in the May Autocross at
Pennington Field. It was there that we had an amazing time,
and I learned three things.
First I learned that Jen can and will run me over given
the opportunity. I mean this quite literally, mind you. After
a run I left the car in gear with the parking brake off. I never
leave the car in gear when I turn it off. So, as I am socializing
on the sidewalk in front of my car Jen gets in to prepare for
her turn and
attempt to
starts the car
in gear. She
proceeded
to stomp
the clutch
as if it were
the brake.
The Boxster
leaped up
onto the
curb and
swept me Brad looks on as Jen tries to find a way to tell him it
off my feet
was really an accident!
as it also demolished everything we had on the sidewalk,
including my helmet. Everyone came over and helped us
get off of the sidewalk while trying not to laugh as Jen sat
in the car mortified. Fortunately the only real damage was a
helmet with road rash and my wife’s dignity.
Second I learned that everything about a Porsche is
addicting. Every time you run a race, you want to run
another. Every time you add something to your car to make
it faster you look
for something
else to add more
speed. Every
time you meet
new Porsche
club members
and fellow
Mark gives son Michael Gohlke some tips on
how to read the autocross map.
26
racers you
cannot wait until
the next time
you get to do it
again and share
more stories.
Photos by Charlie Davis
Suddenly you feel as if one Porsche in the garage just isn’t
enough. A whimsical purchase becomes an addiction.
Lastly I learned that it really is “about the people.” While
I originally believed it to just be a slogan, Jen and I have felt
like old friends at every event. From the camaraderie to the
friendly competition
there is never a dull
moment.
We have
found a passion both
of us can enjoy and
cannot wait until the
June autocross. We
will also be bringing
our daughter and
more friends to enjoy
the adrenaline rush
while trying to find
a way to trim off just
one more second!!

reasons, including its ability to be driven in reverse down

and the targa top, which makes it easy for a passenger police

24 Hours of LeMons at Eagles Canyon Raceway
by Carrie Carrera
Yes, LeMons and, yes, at our own Eagles Canyon
Raceway. The part that we won’t divulge are
the names of all of the Maverick members who
participated. But – you know who you are!!! Several local
Porsche and BMW drivers joined a lot of ‘others’ - in over
50 creatively decorated cars, or at least the used to be carsfor
a 2 day event.
We got out
there for the
start – under
the banner the
driver’s meeting
took place. The
idea is low-cost
racing, so they
only are using a
few flags- Green, Yellow, White and Red. Oh yea, and after
way too many hours, the checkered flag. There was not
qualifying – the official start time was 10 am. Cars were
allowed on track starting at 9:45,
and run under yellow. Then the
green flag waves at no particular car
to start the event.
Since there wasn’t going to be
a passing flag, some cars decided to
provide their own instructions to fellow racers.
Noteable entries – LeCar named for Pepe LePew, a
furry black and white number whose tail waves up under
braking – Got Skunk? The cars were nearly as fast in the pit
lane as they were on track!!
And if that didn’t smell bad enough, then we had the
Not So Fresh Racing team –a pastel painted Bimmer with
the primary sponsor of “Summer’s
Eve.”
The Nigerian Prince Racing
team entered their Honda which
is sponsored by Western Union
Nigeria – with the slogan “Hey it’s
not our money.”
One team was proud of their carbon footprint and called
themselves Gashole Motorsports. The car was disguised as
a motorcycle – note the rear lights. You can hardly tell the
difference!!
There was one Porsche that
we could find – at least I think it
was. I think ‘WAS’ the operative
word.
The Chicken Pit entry had a
great day about to overtake another competitor.
The most aggressive entry had to be the Team Miagra
car, which claims to “Race Harder and Last Longer.”
And for those who don’t
pay attention and have to
serve a penalty after getting
the black flag, the penalty box
was setup near the new tech
barn. The penalty box has a
special seat for the “crappy
driver.”
What they lacked in speed, they made up for in
creativity. At the time of printing, we aren’t sure who
won the race, but the winner really doesn’t matter. As
far as fun per mile and bang for the buck, they all won
the day.
