Mik e Brodig an, Pr eside nt<br />

BLACK MAY! I tell this story<br />

at my own peril. Judy will<br />

get mad at me all over again,<br />

women will call me disgusting names,<br />

and men will wonder how I ever lived<br />

through it, never mind stay married. Oh<br />

well, I tell this mainly for the benefit of<br />

recently married men so they can benefit<br />

from my evil ways. (I think we were married seven years<br />

when Black <strong>May</strong> hit.)<br />

<strong>May</strong> is a triple Judy month: birthday, Mother’s Day,<br />

and our anniversary. My first mistake was forgetting<br />

her birthday, bad enough all by itself. On Mother’s<br />

Day I foolishly thought I could ignore the whole affair.<br />

That was a very bad idea being that by then she was the<br />

mother of our two kids. Even my mom was mad at me<br />

now. The unthinkable then happened, yea, I forgot our<br />

anniversary. I now know the terrible trouble I was in. I<br />

begged forgiveness, vowed it would never happen again,<br />

and pleaded for one more opportunity for redemption. It<br />

was then I suggested we reserve the following Sunday for a<br />

very special celebration of all the special days I had blown.<br />

Judy, being the wonderful person she is, readily agreed. I<br />

could still survive with our marriage intact. …………. You<br />

guessed it. I forgot. Again. This all happened 36 years ago,<br />

and we are still together. I have never again forgotten. I<br />

don’t think she has either.<br />

What an awesome Maverick month April is turning<br />

out to be. We are now full steam ahead on our Hope<br />

Project. The playground equipment is installed and it is<br />

magnificent! Linda Bambina will tell you all about it. The<br />

bluebonnet drive was a huge success, all the socials<br />

are great, we are Auto Crossing and Time Trialing,<br />

and as of this writing, the DE sponsored by Park<br />

Place is nearly sold out.<br />

<strong>May</strong> is just as busy. The Club Race and DE<br />

sponsored by Boardwalk will be the perfect event to<br />

cap off another busy month. All of you are welcome<br />

to watch the exciting races on Memorial Day<br />

weekend. Check the schedule and browse the event<br />

ads in <strong>Slipstream</strong> for all the other activities we have<br />

going. Man, we are one cool car club!<br />

Huffaker Hughes Hope House. Linda has been the driving<br />

force behind our backyard project, and it seems she can<br />

almost be everywhere at once. She is the planner, fund<br />

raiser, worker, and cheerleader. She’s a tough act to follow.<br />

For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver<br />

Fox in Grapevine is giving Linda dinner for two at<br />

their award winning steak house.<br />

Linda thanks for all you do!<br />

Mike<br />

Mav of the Month<br />

Our “Mav of the Month” is Linda Bambina. Nobody<br />

can top the effort and enthusiasm that Linda has for the<br />

Richard Bradley, Managing Editor<br />

Are you ready? There are a lot<br />

of activities again this month<br />

as well as some on the not<br />

too distant horizon. There’s something for<br />

everyone so please come out and enjoy<br />

PCA.<br />

With the help of a dedicated few, the<br />

Huffaker Hughes Hope House has a new<br />

playground and for those who still have a desire to contribute<br />

time, money, or both, check out the ad on page nine. With<br />

your help on Phase 3, we can reach or maybe even exceed our<br />

goal of providing a parklike environment providing a safe<br />

playground for the children and mothers who are victims of<br />

domestic violence.<br />

Then on another front, technology is changing at the<br />

speed of Porsche! Porsche<br />

reveals its High-Performance<br />

918 Spyder Concept with its<br />

highly efficient and ultra-fast<br />

plug-in hybrid super sports car<br />

unveiled in Geneva. If any one of<br />

you takes delivery, you will have to take me for the ride of my<br />

life, and I promise to put you and your car on the cover.<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

Lisa Steele, Secretary<br />

This month’s board meeting began<br />

with much gratitude for<br />

ALL of the fabulous work Linda<br />

Bambina has taken on with the current<br />

HOPE project of creating a kid friendly<br />

backyard. Linda reported that Phase 1 of<br />

the project is now complete. Claps around<br />

the room for everything Linda has done to<br />

get the ball rolling with this project! A legal question did<br />

come up about this project so Mike will investigate outside<br />

counsel.<br />

Mr. Pres also shared some ideas about how we are going<br />

to recognize our donators of the HOPE project. Christy<br />

Payne chimed in with her designs. The Millennium Club<br />

members will receive a beautiful plaque and the Century<br />

Club members will receive a lovely framed certificate. We<br />

already have 5 members of the Millennium Club, so those<br />

plaques will be ordered shortly. There is also a raffle that<br />

anyone can participate in by purchasing tickets at all events<br />

and on the website. The cost is $25 per ticket or 5 for $100.<br />

The drawing will be held on June 24th. See the Hope raffle<br />

ad on the next page (unfortunately, this Secretary does not<br />

know what the drawing is for, so please stay tuned and I<br />

8<br />

will get that information…you know it will be something<br />

GOOD!)<br />

Jim Falgout was present long enough to write a few<br />

checks and announce that “we have money.” Due to this<br />

being tax season, we were very fortunate to get Jim away<br />

for this short time. Thanks Jim for ALL you do!<br />

Clint Blackman announced that the last Sunday drive<br />

had a good turn out with 41 cars. Clint also unveiled his<br />

wonderful participation badge (sticker) that all Sunday<br />

Drive participants will receive. Kevin Hardison was the designer<br />

of these very cool collectible stickers. The next drive<br />

is the Bluebonnet Drive…wouldn’t it be cool to have a picture<br />

of Porsche smack dab in the middle of a field of bluebonnets<br />

just like the little kids on the side of the road??? I<br />

guess too many flowers would be damaged.<br />

Bob Lewis reported that the last Happy Hour at Uncle<br />

Julio’s was a success with many people staying to eat dinner.<br />

The next HH will be at the Bavarian Grill in Plano on<br />

April 15th.<br />

Jan <strong>May</strong>o reported that five of our advertisers still need<br />

to pay for their advertising space for this year.<br />

Richard Bradley announced that <strong>Slipstream</strong> ran a little<br />

late last month, but Ussery helped to catch us up.<br />

Bryan Bell reported that he’s got nothin’.<br />

Christy Payne said that she has created a way for all<br />

calendar information to be steamlined. All Chairs send their<br />

information to calendar@mavpca.org and this will go to the<br />

website, <strong>Slipstream</strong>, and Robyn Howard. This should make<br />

the communication for updating the calendar much much<br />

easier. Cheers for Christy!!<br />

Lisa Steele spoke for Andrea Bell about an email<br />

she received about a local event. If anyone has a yellow<br />

Porsche and would love to put it on display the night of the<br />

new Twilight movie, please contact Lisa or Andrea for more<br />

information. Lisa also reported that she is working on the<br />

Club Race in <strong>May</strong> at ECR.<br />

Wendy Shoffit is also working on Club Race stuff and<br />

everything is movin’ and shakin’ with registration. Wendy<br />

also gave a big THANKS to Lori Mauthe, Christy Payne,<br />

and Lisa Steele for coming to the Girl Scouts Powder Puff<br />

Derby. All of the girls had some awesome derbies and lots<br />

of fun was had by all.<br />

Robyn Howard is workin’ on the course for the next<br />

Autocross.<br />

Travis Howard shared that the last Time Trial/ Autocross<br />

was wet and VERY cold brrrr….18 drivers showed<br />

up and it was decided that everyone would get 2 sets of 3<br />

which happens to be the minimum required to consider it an<br />

official event. The AX was set up in the snow but it actually<br />

turned out to be a sunny but COLD day of autocrossing.


Travis also reported that there is no longer a second set of<br />

timing lights so he is looking at purchasing a new set. The<br />

next TT/AX event is on April 17th & 18th at Mineral Wells.<br />

Pat Friend announced that the new Goodie Store Website<br />

is operating and off and running.<br />

Ed Mullenix reported that the tech session at Autoscope<br />

had 12 people who attended. Six people actually tested their<br />

car on the dyno. Everyone enjoyed the day! The next tech<br />

session will be a Do-It-Yourself- Tech Session on <strong>May</strong> 8th.<br />

Carey Spreen announced that he entered his first SCCA<br />

Rally to see how they run their events. This was a Map Rally<br />

where Mapsco prints out maps for each entrant. Sounds<br />

Fun!!<br />

The last item on the agenda was to announce our Mav of<br />

the Month. I think it is pretty obvious who should receive<br />

this honor this month with all of the tremendous work she<br />

has done…Linda Bambina YOU are the Mav of the Month!!<br />

Meeting adjourned at 8:45<br />

<strong>May</strong> 9


Future Maverick Fast Ladies?<br />

by Lori Mauthe<br />

Could be… On Saturday, April 3rd, Wendy Shoffit<br />

supervised a Powder Puff Pinewood Derby event<br />

for her daughter Jasmine’s Girl Scout Troop.<br />

Nearly 50 hand made creatively decorated Pinewood Derby<br />

cars were entered<br />

by girls<br />

in one of four<br />

groups – Daisies,<br />

Juniors,<br />

Brownies and<br />

A very fast family: James, Jasmine & Wendy Shoffit<br />

Girl Scouts.<br />

The track was<br />

setup – a ramp<br />

at one end and<br />

checkered flag<br />

with a net at<br />

the other end, and the electronic timing equipment attached.<br />

None other than our own Zone 5 Rep James Shoffit, was<br />

in charge of timing and scoring. Wendy announced the<br />

grid and the winners of each run. To be fair, each car got a<br />

chance in each lane, and the fastest time determined class<br />

placement.<br />

So is it any surprise that Jasmine won a podium finish<br />

in class? Dad James, made sure her car was ready, with an<br />

alignment complete with corner weighting. Test runs made<br />

sure that the wheels were turning free and clear. I’m sure<br />

Wendy gave her go-fast tips as well.<br />

Wendy asked fellow lady Maverick drivers to come to<br />

the event and bring their Porsches to show the girls that autosports<br />

isn’t just for boys anymore. Wendy, our Parade Fastest<br />

Lady Driver, brought her Parade Trophy and plaque, displayed<br />

on her Black 911. Christy Payne brought her street<br />

car with her special car numbers and Fastest Lady insignia.<br />

Lisa Steele had<br />

her racy white<br />

911 that she is<br />

ready to take<br />

Club Racing.<br />

Lori Mauthe<br />

brought her<br />

gray Boxster<br />

S with the Komen<br />

Breast<br />

Cancer pink<br />

ribbon on the<br />

Maverick Ladies: Wendy, Lori, Lisa and Christy<br />

hood. Christy,<br />

Lori and Lisa were the judges for the special awards<br />

for the Most Realistic, Most Decorated, Most Natural,<br />

Most Colorful and Most Creative design. And<br />

wow, were those tough decisions, the cars were all<br />

spectacular.<br />

After the racing<br />

was completed,<br />

the girls came<br />

out into the parking<br />

lot with their<br />

parents and took<br />

turns sitting in the<br />

Jasmine won with a podium<br />

finish in Class!<br />

Maverick cars.<br />

They asked a lot of<br />

questions and had<br />

a wonderful morning.<br />

It was thrilling to see how enthusiastic the young<br />

girls were about the chance to race their Pinewood<br />

Derby cars.<br />

So I would look to see some of these girls behind<br />

the wheel of their Porsches in the next decade, ready<br />

to drive well and fast into the future.<br />

My family currently owns three Porsches, and I’ve made several modifications<br />

to my GT2: a DME re-flash and headers by FVD, intercoolers and wheels by<br />

Champion Motorsports and exhaust components by GMG Racing just to name a<br />

few. All of these modifications were done by Park Place, and together provide around<br />

650 horsepower.The power in this car isn’t explainable until you ride in it.<br />

My favorite upgrade is the exhaust; the sound is glorious. I go in the garage at<br />

night and just start the car to listen to it run for a few minutes. My wife Valerie<br />

thinks I am crazy.<br />

I most enjoy Porsche’s racing heritage, and I’m amazed at their engineering<br />

abilities. I believe in the tradition, longevity, and quality. What I appreciate most<br />

about Park Place Porsche are the people. I’ve come to know many of the service<br />

managers at the front, and also enjoy talking with the guys who work on the<br />

vehicles in back – that’s not something you typically get to do at a dealership.<br />

Everyone is knowledgeable about the brand, but more specifically about my cars.<br />

They know me and always do a quality job. I have recommended Park Place<br />

Porsche to many friends because they make it very easy and enjoyable to do<br />

business with them.<br />

Sunday Drives to Hillsboro<br />

By Matt Lemons<br />

It was a day of numbers, and I don’t just mean 914,<br />

928, and 911. We had seventy-six participants,<br />

forty one cars, two dogs, four counties, countless<br />

smiles and waves, all on one Sunday Drive. It wasn’t until<br />

I pulled around the far side of the Whataburger meeting<br />

spot that I saw<br />

all of the cars. Wow,<br />

I thought, I didn’t<br />

expect this many<br />

people. This was my<br />

first Social event as<br />

a new PCA member.<br />

What luck, my first<br />

event, and I scored<br />

one of the first ever<br />

Maverick Region<br />

PCA Sunday Drive<br />

badges.<br />

Springtime is here and this was the first Sunday<br />

Drive of the year. Often times, driving is just about getting<br />

from point A to B. Spending some time behind the<br />

wheel like this brings to mind some of the finer points of<br />

owning a performance automobile. For instance, all of<br />

those safety related<br />

items that often get<br />

over looked. When<br />

was the last time<br />

you checked your oil<br />

level, tire pressure,<br />

lug nuts, or brake<br />

lights? <strong>May</strong>be you<br />

drive your Porsche<br />

everyday and these<br />

things get taken for<br />

granted. <strong>May</strong>be you<br />

only drive it on the<br />

weekends<br />

or in good<br />

Let’s meet up and move out!<br />

weather, and these things aren’t maintained as frequently.<br />

A good Sunday drive is an opportunity to show your car a<br />

little special attention. Sarah (my girlfriend) and I started<br />

the day with a good wash for the car. Followed by a once<br />

over of safety items. Then we grabbed the camera and<br />

a couple of bottled<br />

waters for the road<br />

and we were off.<br />

Driving around<br />

town doesn’t offer<br />

this kind of scenery,<br />

trees, farm land, and<br />

sweeping two lane<br />

back roads. Heck,<br />

even the cars around<br />

you are worth looking<br />

at. Sunday drives<br />

aren’t about speed, but they are about enjoying good<br />

company and your car. <strong>May</strong>be you pull the shift lever one<br />

gear lower than you normally would through the next few<br />

turns giving that P car engine a chance to breathe a little<br />

deeper and sing that tone we all love so much. Right<br />

about now is when you feel like your car is saying “thank<br />

you” for the special attention. Daily<br />

driver or not, these roads and the<br />

people on them will make you appreciate<br />

Porsche ownership way<br />

more than red lights or I-635 ever<br />

could. So whether you’re a new<br />

member like me, or a long time<br />

member that just hasn’t participated,<br />

join the group for the next Sunday<br />

Drive. It promises excellent flora<br />

and BBQ. Oh, one last number for the day, seven. Seven<br />

gallons of gas, you’ll appreciate them more than the seven<br />

you burned going to work that’s for sure.<br />

Cliff’s Ramblings<br />

by Cliff Blackshear<br />

I<br />

cannot believe the activity in the<br />

shop as spring blooms. It is as<br />

if every kind of Porsche related<br />

event that can be<br />

dreamed up is<br />

about to happen.<br />

Even events that<br />

are not Porsche car<br />

driven end up being Porsche related.<br />

Case in point. BMW club has a race<br />

scheduled for MSR this weekend.<br />

Last year they invited the Spec Box<br />

guys to come join in. It is something<br />

that was prudent for them to do as<br />

their field of entrants was kinda small<br />

and financially it was making the<br />

event hard to put on. The addition of<br />

the Spec Porsche people helped in<br />

this area financially. I went and stood<br />

at hot pit wall to see the action when<br />

enduro occurred. Fun stuff. When<br />

the green flag dropped and the first<br />

lap was over I got a kick out of how<br />

things sorted out. As cars came by on<br />

lap 2, 3 monstor motor Bimmers go by, then all the spec<br />

Boxsters, then all the rest of the BMW entrants (maybe 10<br />

or more cars). Kind of a proud moment for a Porsche guy<br />

like myself.<br />

So the BMW event is tomorrow. Six Spec Box guys<br />

have signed up. Our guy (John) is not entered. He is busy<br />

getting ready for Heartland Park PCA Club Race scheduled<br />

for 4-17. Many Mavs are headed to Heartland. Multiple cars<br />

have suddenly appeared at the shop for some final set up<br />

work. One that caught my eye is a very rare 993RS. Beautiful<br />

factory prepared race car. I could not stop checking it out.<br />

The roll cage work is pure art. What a fabulous example of<br />

factory craftsmanship. Unbelievable. Took many pictures…<br />

The sound of the engine is so awesome... moving on. Michael<br />

Hsu brought his Spec Box up from Austin for the BMW race<br />

at MSR. He has scheduling problems that are preventing him<br />

from making Heartland. It was good to see Michael. Some<br />

alignment and corner balancing work was applied for this<br />

weekend. Multiple other race machines were in. I like this<br />

time of year.<br />

Clint Blackman came by and we had a great visit. He<br />

was most excited about the Sunday drive for Mavs thru the<br />

flower fields of Ennis (a Mav favorite Sunday drive). I was<br />

telling him about our Saturday drive for new Porsche owners<br />

and he ended up in deep discussion with Roger Reynolds<br />

(one of our parts gurus) that is going and had just completed<br />

a pre-drive of the run. I walk into parts and there they are<br />

Spring Just Rocks<br />

with a map on the counter and a computer screen showing<br />

the drive route.<br />

Had a call from our resident Flying Lizard. He is busy<br />

with team members at Lizard shop<br />

in Sonoma California getting Bergmeister<br />

car ready for ALMS race at<br />

Long Beach this coming weekend.<br />

They were looking for the part number<br />

for a sealer (putty like material)<br />

that Porsche uses. I tracked down the<br />

number, passed it along and threatened<br />

him with horrible consequences<br />

if they do not kick Ferraris’ hind<br />

end. Ha! Corvette guys, BMW guys,<br />

etc., can win the class but they better<br />

not lose to Ferrari….. That’s important……………………<br />

F1 racing is full on. Schuey has<br />

migrated from Ferrari. The RB6 Red<br />

Bull car is unbelievable. This series is<br />

gonna be fun to watch.<br />

Gotta love spring! Cliff<br />

Too Many Porsches?<br />

by Jerry DeFeo<br />

While researching a few items for Trivia I<br />

came across a guy that just might have “too<br />

many Porsches!” He is the Sultan of Brunei.<br />

I have found conflicting reports of both 120 and 160. Well<br />

that certainly is more than I have, or Ed <strong>May</strong>o, or Jack Griffin,<br />

or even Jerry Seinfeld.<br />

I have been wondering if I wrote him a letter telling<br />

him that I have really wanted a ‘73 RS but just cannot afford<br />

one, if he would just send me one of his. Surely he must<br />

have a few of them!!! Hey, at least I am not being greedy<br />

asking for 959 or Carrera GT!!!<br />

Here is a picture of a car that he<br />

keeps in London that he had specially<br />

built for him when he is in town. It is a<br />

Factory-built Rolls Royce that is made<br />

to resemble a Porsche. Now I certainly do not think it looks<br />

as good as my ‘67 S Targa, but I sure know it costs more.<br />

But then again when you have so much money that<br />

you are making more at the rate of approximately $120 per<br />

second, $7200 per minute, $432,000 per hour, or $10,368,000<br />

per day; a one-off Rolls Royce built Porsche is “no big<br />

deal!!!”<br />

Member Spotlight: John Ver Vynck<br />

by Andrea Bell<br />

I<br />

am pleased to introduce to you<br />

another new Maverick member,<br />

John Ver Vynck. John owns<br />

a 1958 356 Speedster,<br />

numbers matching, with<br />

the original floor pans.<br />

It is silver with red and<br />

white piping. He loves the<br />

simplicity of the car and the way it handles.<br />

John also owns a 1997 993 Twin Turbo that is<br />

silver and black. He believes these two cars<br />

are the best produced by Porsche. He added<br />

the only other one he would own is the 550<br />

Spyder.<br />

John has owned both cars for about eight<br />

years. He has put about 4,500 miles on the<br />

993 in the past five years. He has only tracked<br />

the 993 once and loved it. He said, “I had the pleasure of<br />

attending one of the Autobahn road courses at Cresson race<br />

track. I urge all to attend.”<br />

The Speedster has some race history, but he has been<br />

unable to uncover exactly what it is.<br />

He has lived in the DFW area for twenty years. He<br />

married a native Texan and has three boys that love cars like<br />

their dad. He said, “We spend time working on what we can,<br />

and enjoying the rest.” He also enjoys working in the yard,<br />

speaking, and attending group activities. We are pleased to<br />

have John as a new member to our Maverick family.<br />

If you are a new member and would like to be considered<br />

for our monthly “SPOTLIGHT’ feature, please contact me<br />

Happy Hour at Uncle Julio’s<br />

by Chris Christensen<br />

So who is Uncle Julio anyway?<br />

Actually we were told that<br />

he is the figment or perhaps a<br />

brainstorm of someone who maybe had<br />

an Uncle who liked to cook Tex-Mex. We<br />

can only say that it really doesn’t matter<br />

all that much, it is a fun restaurant to visit<br />

with our Porsche Club friends. Parking<br />

was a small problem, which does indicate that the restaurant<br />

is popular with the locals at this location just east of the<br />

North Dallas Tollway<br />

at the Keller Springs<br />

intersection. It is easy to<br />

find and not far from the<br />

George Bush for those<br />

who are coming from the<br />

mid-cities area.<br />

With five restaurant<br />

locations to choose from<br />

in the Metroplex, and<br />

now with locations in four states, Uncle Julio’s is spreading<br />

faster than hot sauce on a chip. And, by the way, their hot<br />

sauce is a bit spicy for some, but the warm chips that seem<br />

to keep coming are great. It makes another margarita or<br />

beer seem a necessity with the usual cautions of course. In<br />

short – along with the great Tex-Mex, the bright spacious<br />

room with all its colors of reds, yellows and terra-cotta<br />

make for a realistic south of the border restaurant.<br />

So, who had a grandma who designed her big Sunday<br />

meals around dessert? It seems that in some families this<br />

was and maybe still is a custom. So with sopapillas (puffed<br />

Mexican pastries sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered<br />

sugar, served with warm honey for dipping and ice cream)<br />

should we worry much about the main course? The cajeta’s<br />

looked awfully good as well; vanilla ice cream with toasted<br />

coconut and pecans topped with homemade caramel sauce<br />

and whipped cream. Okay, let’s forget grandma’s main<br />

course recipes and have a couple desserts, a margarita and<br />

go home happy. Now that you have all of this info, I expect<br />

all those who decided not to come out to HH will be there<br />

next time...and don’t wait for the Uncle’s to get back on the<br />

schedule – come anyway. By the way, about 30 Mavericks<br />

enjoyed mingling with friends and staying for dinner…a<br />

pretty good crowd.<br />

Okay, so I had the opportunity to sit across from one of<br />

our club racers and real Porsche enthusiasts, Mark Hanna<br />

and his lovely wife Monda at dinner. Can I say that I am<br />

a bit jealous when he showed me photos on how he stores<br />

all of those Porsche assets he owns? I think I will have to<br />

start by mentioning to my better half that although I would<br />

like to rack and stack four Porsches that I will settle with<br />

just two Porsches stacked in a single car garage. Now that I<br />

revealed my strategy, I will have to work hard to promote the<br />

idea. I had no idea how relatively simple and inexpensively<br />

(relatively speaking of course) it is to modify a garage to<br />

install a stacking system. We Porsche enthusiasts have to<br />

have something to look forward to, right? Thanks Mark for<br />

sharing your garage with a neophyte.<br />

Recently a group of us signed up for this year’s Parade.<br />

Boy, are we ready to go or what…signing up on<br />

the first day of registration (March 9th). And<br />

this year I have decided to drive our low mileage<br />

Boxster to the event and even enter into the<br />

Concours. I vaguely remember someone from the<br />

group suggesting that everyone would pitch in to<br />

get the car ready on arrival. I plan to bring plenty<br />

of supplies for everyone…even rubber gloves…<br />

to keep the car as clean as possible when we go<br />

through the process. There are a few tricks to<br />

readying a car, but all of it deals with hard work and attention<br />

to detail. Even with all of the detail work, something always<br />

24


gets overlooked. We will try hard and if not successful we<br />

hope at least we’ll have fun.<br />

Thanks to all for coming to this month’s happy hour and<br />

before we forget, Linda Bambina and Clara Lewis wanted<br />

all Mavericks to know that Hope<br />

House will be installing the<br />

children’s play ground known as<br />

Phase 3. Please check with Linda<br />

or Clara for all of the details.<br />

Help in installing the grounds<br />

is definitely welcome…as are<br />

donations to help offset the costs.<br />

This is, needless to say, a very<br />

important project for the young<br />

families who need a shelter. We<br />

know that many of you will pitch<br />

Come have some fun! in with help and much needed<br />

financial assistance.<br />

Next month’s happy hour will be held at Abuelo’s<br />

Mexican Food, Thu, <strong>May</strong> 20, 6:30pm – 9:00pm. Where:<br />

2520 S. Stemmons Freeway, Lewisville, (972) 315-6057.<br />

See you at our next Happy Hour.<br />

Arctic Weekend at The Mineral Ring<br />

By Carey Spreen<br />

March 19, the Friday before the first Time Trial/<br />

Autocross weekend of <strong>2010</strong>, had been the<br />

warmest day of the year so far - sunny with<br />

temperatures near 70 degrees. Which made it all<br />

the more difficult to believe the weather reports<br />

that forecast snow and sub-freezing wind-chill<br />

factors in North Texas for the next two days.<br />

However, the weather reports were right<br />

- Saturday dawned wet and cold. Those who<br />

trailer their cars to Time Trials and Autocrosses<br />

kept their lightly-treaded sticky tires mounted,<br />

but the rest of us who drive our cars to these<br />

events had three choices:<br />

(a) Drive out on street tires, bringing the<br />

sticky tires with us to change on-site;<br />

(b) Mount the sticky tires at home, and take<br />

our chances driving to Mineral Wells on tires<br />

that are street legal but not at all intended for<br />

rainy or snowy winter conditions; or<br />

(c) Forget about the sticky tires and just run on street<br />

tires.<br />

When I got there Saturday morning I saw all three<br />

choices in evidence. I had selected choice (a), but upon<br />

further review, the wind, rain, and cold convinced me that<br />

changing tires would not be worth fighting the unrelenting<br />

wind, at least not on Saturday, so I went with (c) instead.<br />

Eighteen drivers showed up, a low number probably<br />

caused by the Siberian turn the weather had taken. And<br />

because the rain, even though it had ended by 9 am, was<br />

supposed to turn to snow later in the day, the organizers early<br />

on decided to<br />

give everyone<br />

their two sets<br />

of three runs<br />

and call it a<br />

day. Good<br />

choice, as it<br />

turned out.<br />

The<br />

entrants<br />

were divided<br />

up into the<br />

Ready to go<br />

traditional<br />

two run groups: workers went to their stations (1 per corner<br />

due to the small attendance), and drivers got in their cars.<br />

And as you might imagine, being in the car was the most<br />

comfortable place we could be! As the morning proceeded,<br />

the temperature continued to drop, but the wind remained<br />

Photos by Kristi Kelley<br />

constant, so by the time the second run group finished, we<br />

all needed a good thawing.<br />

We ran Time Trial Course 1 in its traditional clockwise<br />

direction, with the tight left<br />

turn after the start/finish<br />

line. And even though<br />

the rain had stopped<br />

hours earlier, the damp<br />

track and cold tires made<br />

for some unpredictable<br />

traction conditions, and<br />

gave everyone plenty of<br />

opportunities to practice<br />

their skid-recovery skills,<br />

especially at that tight left.<br />

“Turn into the skid” is<br />

the mantra we learned in<br />

those high school driver<br />

All smiles on the green light education classes, but what<br />

is usually not mentioned<br />

along with that is to straighten the wheel as you come out<br />

of the skid, since, if you don’t straighten out, the car will<br />

recover from the skid, but will<br />

continue into a similar swing<br />

in the opposite direction.<br />

Which you then have to<br />

steer into again, repeating as<br />

necessary, until either the car<br />

straightens out for good, or it<br />

finally comes to rest pointing<br />

in some direction contrary to<br />

the one in which you would<br />

prefer it be pointing.<br />

This phenomenon<br />

is sometimes known as<br />

“getting a little behind in<br />

your steering,” and all of us<br />

have experienced it at some Who is that masked man?<br />

point in our driving careers,<br />

hence the cheers that this occurrence elicits from the other<br />

competitors when it happens on course. Fortunately, the<br />

Mineral Ring is a very safe place to do this, since there is<br />

typically nothing to hit for hundreds of feet in any direction,<br />

except for those uncomplaining traffic cones, who willingly<br />

sacrifice life and limb for us on a regular basis.<br />

Anyway, we finished timed runs at about 12:30 and<br />

retired to Chili’s for a warm meal. Upon our return to the<br />

airport, a few good men and women dismantled the Time<br />

Trial course and set up the Autocross course for Sunday.<br />

26


Mike Lockas did a few test<br />

runs on the course, since<br />

he would not be officially<br />

competing on it the next<br />

day, and was easily able<br />

to hit 70 mph on the back<br />

straightaway in his Audi A4.<br />

Sounded like it was going to<br />

be a fast course! I had left by<br />

that time, but as course setup<br />

was finishing, snow began<br />

falling.<br />

That evening, Ft Worth<br />

also got a light dusting of<br />

snow, but later I heard reports<br />

of several inches of snow in<br />

the eastern reaches of the<br />

Metroplex. That probably accounted for the low turnout of<br />

15 drivers on Sunday for the Autocross. However, in Mineral<br />

Wells, there<br />

was neither<br />

snow nor rain<br />

nor heat nor<br />

gloom of night<br />

to stay these<br />

autocrossers<br />

from the swift<br />

completion<br />

Chuck McCoy giving us the thumbs up.<br />

the US Postal Service . . .)<br />

Travis braved the cold to<br />

launch the first TT of the year.<br />

of their<br />

appointed laps.<br />

(Apologies to<br />

Anyway, Sunday’s Autocross course was much longer<br />

than Saturday’s Time Trial course, in terms of time if not<br />

distance. It consisted of a few sets of offset gates, a quick<br />

slalom, a very long straightway (4th gear for most of us)<br />

containing a small kink to prevent the<br />

speeds from going even higher, and<br />

another set of offset gates with a 180<br />

thrown in. It took us each about a minute<br />

and a half to drive around it, so the<br />

jokes about not being able to finish the<br />

morning course walk before nightfall<br />

were not too much of an exaggeration.<br />

So after 10 runs each, plus fun runs,<br />

we called it a weekend. And once again,<br />

we were reminded that, although the<br />

MineralRing does not have much to offer<br />

in the human comforts department, we<br />

always get lots of fast runs and a safe<br />

environment in which to make them. The April events there<br />

will have taken place before you read this, but Autocross 3<br />

will be held on Sunday, <strong>May</strong> 16 at Pennington Field (the<br />

HEB ISD football stadium) in<br />

Bedford. And if you would like to<br />

try a Time Trial on a real racetrack,<br />

mark your calendar for Sunday,<br />

<strong>May</strong> 23, which will be Time Trial 3<br />

at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson,<br />

TX, and will run on the 1.7-mile<br />

course. Hope to see you at one or<br />

both!<br />

Tech Corner<br />

by Ed Mullenix<br />

Deal or NO Deal?<br />

The club racing season is ‘fixinta”<br />

start so last week the Prez<br />

brought his 944 Turbo club racer<br />

into the shop for its annual gremlinectomy.<br />

Sure enough, there were some gremlins<br />

lurking about. A recalcitrant DME relay<br />

that only turned on the fuel pump when<br />

it felt like it. All of the ABS wheel speed<br />

sensors had grown fur (iron dust abraded from the brake discs<br />

attracted to the permanent magnet in the sensor) and caused the<br />

ABS to do weird things. But new spark plugs, fuel filter, and<br />

reciting the appropriate pre-season incantation didn’t resolve<br />

an engine misfire.<br />

The ignition o-scope<br />

revealed that almost no spark<br />

was reaching the spark plugs.<br />

Mike said that he had the<br />

cap and ignition rotor<br />

replaced two seasons<br />

Ill-fated rotor, new aftermarket ago. Usually a cap and<br />

rotor, genuine Porsche rotor rotor are good for several<br />

seasons. Hmmm? I pulled<br />

off the cap and there it was, or rather, was not! The brass<br />

end of the rotor and most or the plastic end was gone! At<br />

racing speeds, the coil directs spark thru the rotor and cap<br />

12,000 times every minute. A 30 minute race, the coil<br />

fired 360,000 times. During a five race season, that rascal<br />

has fired 1.8 million times. Needless to say, a lot of heat<br />

is developed in the distributor cap and there is almost no<br />

venting so things like the rotor get really hot.<br />

OEM Porsche distributor caps and rotors are made<br />

from a material called “Bakelite.” It is a thermo-setting<br />

plastic that once baked in the mold of a cap or rotor, won’t<br />

melt. Although it will burn if you get it hot enough. It<br />

is the perfect material for distributor caps and rotors. A<br />

drawback to Bakelite is that it is brittle. Drop a distributor<br />

cap and it’s done! Bakelite is also more expensive to<br />

produce than other plastics that can be melted and formed<br />

into whatever.<br />

This brings us back to our story. Several aftermarket<br />

manufacturers, including Bosch, produce ignition caps<br />

and rotors that are not Bakelite and therefore, are less<br />

expensive. A bargain-brand non-Bakelite rotor was<br />

installed in #47 with the ensuing consequences. The<br />

misadventure didn’t result in a DNF but could have. You<br />

could also have the same experience on a long highway<br />

trip. Every year, my bride and I take one of our “Stuttgart”<br />

wonders to Wisconsin, a “mere 19 hours in the saddle”<br />

each way! I will buy aftermarket things like fan belts,<br />

spark plugs, and air filters but I am selective about the<br />

quality (don’t go to Manny, Moe, and Jack!). My ’82<br />

Targa does indeed have a genuine Porsche rotor. “Nuff<br />

said”! Ed<br />
