November 1

Drifting 

Mike Brodigan, President 

Well another great year of 

fun and fellowship with our 

Maverick Porsche buddies 

is coming to an end. Just think, there 

are only two Sunday drives, a DE at 

Eagles Canyon Raceway, three more 

Porsche Lunches (well, there are four 

scheduled, but I think we might blow 

off the one on Thanksgiving Day), and two more really 

cool Happy Hours, (one in Plano, one in Colleyville). 

In addition to all this, we have the Autocross and Time 

Trial award celebration at Dave and Busters, and our 

annual FOUNDER’S DAY and HOLIDAY 

CELEBRATION! What an ending! This Year Founder’s 

Day is at the fabulous Gaylord Texan Resort on Lake 

Grapevine. This is a can’t miss event. Christy Payne 

and her gang have put together an awesome program 

that is long on fun, and short on award presentations. 

The price is 

great, and I will 

even buy you a 

drink. Check the 

web site, or the 

ad in this issue 

for more details. 

While Bryan 

Bell was tending 

to our Region 

(thanks Bryan), 

Judy and I 

were on a longanticipated 

trip 

through Scotland 

and Ireland. We 

sure had a blast. Besides the beautiful scenery, there were 

lots and lots of castles, churches, sheep, and pubs. Lots 

of pubs. Now you have to understand that on most of our 

travels Judy is in charge. She does a great job of seeking out 

all the great places to visit and what to see. This trip Mike 

took control. We had seven days in Ireland, with most of our 

activities pre-planned by our tour group. When we had free 

time, I announced that I had set a goal of visiting at least 30 

different Irish pubs, and have at least one drink in each one. 

Now I know that this was a very lofty objective, but I had 

a lot of encouragement from our fellow travelers, and Judy 

was a pretty good sport about it. I made number 30 on our 

last day at 4:30 pm. Success! 

Mav of the Month 

This month, Andy Mears is our Mav of the Month. Andy 

is in charge of the distribution side of our Slipstream team. 

He has had the job for over 10 years. Andy works with the 

printers, mail service agency and the Post Office to get our 

Magazine out as soon as possible. 

For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver Fox 

in Grapevine is giving Andy dinner for two at their award 

winning steak house. 

Andy, thanks for all you do.

fun you had and what makes you hit your rev limiter! Just 

remember I do have a deadline which you are probably

Maverick Minutes 

Lisa Steele, Secretary 

If you thought last month’s minutes 

were short and to the point, just keep 

reading these minutes…it won’t take 

long I promise. You see, our fabulous 

President Mike Brodigan, decided to 

take on the challenge of running a very 

quick but efficient meeting. We began the 

meeting promptly at 7:00pm. 

Christy Payne started our round the table discussion 

with several updates on upcoming Social Events. She 

passed around a list of sponsors and other generous people 

who have always donated items for our Silent Auction at 

Founder’s Day. Many people promised to call and collect 

items for the Silent Auction. Christy also announced that 

the AX/TT Awards Celebration at Dave and Busters is all 

set to go. She also reported that the Club House for the New 

Member Party is no longer available on Sundays, therefore 

the party will be scheduled for Saturday, Jan.29th. 

Robyn Howard speaking for Travis Howard reported that 

the Oct. 2-3 Time Trial and Autocross was good but had low 

attendance. There were just enough people to run the event 

safely. Robyn also announced that there is only 1 Time Trial 

and Autocross event remaining for the season. 

Robyn reminded the group about the Swap Meet at Zims 

on October 9th. 15% discount on parts…what a great deal! 

Bryan Bell had nothin’ to say except that he is looking 

forward to the Club Race at Hallett on the weekend of 

Oct.16th-17th. Good Luck to ALL Maverick Club Racers!! 

Jim Falgout was grinning from ear to ear because he was 

happy to announce that he completed his first DE and he 

only had 3 spins. Jim was also very happy to report, “We 

have money!” Speaking of money, there are a few advertisers 

who have still not paid so Pat Friend said he would make 

a few calls to those advertisers so they won’t get their ad 

pulled from Slipstream. 

Pat Friend was pleased to announce that we have 3 

new advertisers coming on board to Slipstream. Pat also 

reported that the orders for badges had not been what he 

was expecting. After some discussion, Wendy Shoffit and 

Mike Brodigan said they would look at clubregistration.net 

for member information. Hopefully, an order can be placed 

soon. 

Ed Mullenix said that he would try to get a Tech Session 

set up for the 27th of November. 

Richard Bradley was very excited to announce that 

he might have some more help with Slipstream. One of 

our members may help take on designing some of the 

announcements for our events because she has a graphic 

design background. This would really help Christy who 

currently designs most if not all of the Event Ads. 

Lisa Steele (me) reported that we had a wonderful turn out 

for our September DE. We tried a new caterer for this event 

and got rave reviews from everyone. We hope to have Del 

Norte serving their wonderful cuisine at all of our upcoming 

DE’s and all events on the calendar for next year. 

Madhu Rao was present to see the true artistry of taking 

minutes at our Board Meetings…wink, wink. If you 

carefully read last month’s Slipstream, you noticed Mr. 

Rao’s name on the Board Officers Ballot for Secretary for 

2011. 

Wendy Shoffit reported that we collected over $500 during 

Charity Laps at the September DE. Thank you very much 

to Clint’s Sunday Drivers for coming out and donating so 

generously! 

Carey and beautiful daughter Geneva Spreen were present 

but did not have much to report. Carey is still working on 

Rallies for next year.

Stuttgart, unveiled the new Porsche 

911 Speedster as well as the 911

doors the official handover of 

responsibilities on the Porsche AG 

Board of Management was 

seen. After a successful 

tenure Michael Macht will 

symbolically hand the 

Porsche steering wheel to

assumption of office as 

Photos courtesy Porsche AG 

Chief Executive Officer coincides with three world 

debuts. Only the fourth Speedster to have been 

built in Porsche’s history is a model steeped in 

purist tradition and reflects the forward-looking 

nature of the brand, while the new Carrera GTS 

range with wide body and rear-wheel drive 

underscores all this. 

Clint Blackman announced that the upcoming Sunday 

Drive would be through the streets of East Texas. He will 

probably using a Mad Maps Route. 

Jerry Alprin was a new face at the Board Meeting this 

month. He just wanted to see how efficient we truly are! 

Welcome Jerry…we hope you come join us at many more 

meetings. 

Mike Brodigan finished up the meeting with announcing 

the Mav of the Month…Andy Mears deserves this title for 

the month! 

Meeting adjourned at 7:31pm. 

Save the flash! 

Owning a Porsche is 

a unique experience. 

Do your part to preserve 

the experience... 

keep the flash alive! 


Fall Season DE Arrives 

By Carrie Carrera 

Photos by Blair Hartsfield 

September 18-19th started the Maverick Region 

Driver Education season. So what is wrong with 

this picture? 

Summer officially ends September 22nd, so that’s 

why it was still so blasted hot. Afternoon temperatures 

in the mid-90s yet we did have sunshine and a mild 

breeze. Not quite Fall. 

Then there was registration and OH NO – where was 

Joel? Wendy Shoffit was managing registration instead, 

and did a fine job getting everyone their stickers, wrist 

bands and schedules. 

Instructor session started pretty much on time, and on 

grid we had - OH NO – where was Jan? Our ‘grid babe’ 

instead was Travis Howard, who made his debut for 

Drivers’ Education events from the Auto-X and Time 

Trial events. Parade laps each day over lunch raised 

a healthy sum of $500+ cash for our club’s favorite 

charity –The Hope Shelter. Okay, he’s not quite as cute 

as Jan, however grid ran efficiently and without issues 

all weekend. Great job Travis. 

Yellow group on Saturday seemed to be plagued with 

several cars going off course. The not-so-new mown 

hay (those from Indiana will get it) caught fire easily 

once 3 feet from the edge of the track. So their first few 

sessions were cut short so that the safety crews could 

put out the grass fires. And so we had to count on Black 

Flag to marshal the cars off track and OH NO where 

10

was Joel? James Shoffit, our Zone 5 Rep was handling 

black flag this weekend, and at least he wasn’t too busy. 

John Hamilton and John Sandusky ran the driver’s 

meetings for entrants and instructors respectively. Our 

fine hostesses, Andrea Bell and Lisa Steele were making 

laps between the paddock and grid restocking water, ice, 

a few advanced 

promotions – great 

job everyone. 

So this proves 

that even if we are 

missing some of our 

regulars, the 

club has depth 

and experience, and can still put on a first class event for 

our students and friends. We look forward to seeing you 

back again for the October and November Fall DE 

events. 

snacks and making sure our students were having 

fun and getting their cars ready for their run groups. 

Okay, GOOD at least that was all normal!! And we 

had Sophie the wonder dog at Team 1, although she 

spent most of Saturday afternoon not on grid – not 

only a good dog, but smart too. 

The 3.1 mile course at MotorSport Ranch was 

fun and challenging as ever. Several students 

advanced from green to blue, blue to blue solo and

Zims Swap Meet & Concours 

Robyn Howard, Swap Meets 

This is the best time of year 

to clean out the garage, and 

it pays to get up early on 

Saturday morning! I did, and I found 

some great deals as well as some 

sweet donuts and coffee to open my 

eyes at our annual Zims Swap Meet. 

Al Zim gave 15% off all parts at the 

counter, another great bonus! All sizes of parts were to 

be found, including entire cars. This year a Concours 

Photos by Robyn Howard 

was included where members could participate in an

Cliff’s Ramblings: Riding The Fine Line In A Porsche Workshop 

By Cliff Blackshear 

With a Porsche that is in its 

warranty period, defining 

the line between what is 

warrantable and what is not, is an issue 

that has become most interesting in the 

past decade for me. So many owners 

now enjoy DE’s and other pursuits with 

their P-Car. I’ve been thinking about 

that subject a lot lately as I have slowly realized just how 

different things are now. 

From a pure technician’s perspective it has been an 

interesting role for me. In my environment we want to 

represent the owner’s needs to the factory. Porsche adjusts 

their perspective only when a workshop can properly show 

a failure that should not happen when a vehicle is driven on 

limit in totally stock (unmodified) form. 

Imagine presenting a warranty issue to the factory from 

my side. Flywheel seal leak in a GT3, early clutch failure 

in a Cayman S, failed synchro in a 997 Twin gearbox, 

or overheated power steering fluid issue in any Porsche 

assembled since 1997 (intro of Boxster). I could go back 

further in time but I’ll go to Boxster intro year for this. All 

of them tracked in stock configuration. 

Imagine you are looking at these failures and the car 

has GT3 seats, harness bar, 5 point harnesses, etc. etc. I 

face that dilemma a lot and I’m the one at our shop that 

communicates with the factory on failure issues. 

Yet it is not hard to deal with. Porsche does not shut the 

door on failures that have nothing to do with the car being 

driven on the track or modifications to make the car more 

track friendly. I can readily answer, “Yes the car is tracked” 

to anyone I deal with at PCNA and that has no bearing on 

final warrantable decision. Sometimes I get the feeling that 

if the car is tracked, they take the failure personally and do 

not want it to happen again. I’m serious here. 

Certain areas require much thought and understanding. 

Example: Drive any Porsche with stock suspension and tires 

at the track and lubrication issues rarely occur. Change the 

overall grip level with sticky track tires and or suspension 

set up strictly track related (hence higher lateral G’s) and 

things are much different. Oiling the engine can become an 

issue. In our shop, we have worked hard to educate owners 

in this area. If you change the car from street design when it 

comes to lateral and longitudinal G’s to a track oriented set 

up, these forces have to be dealt with. A different lubrication 

dynamic has to be considered. Oil separator needs work, 

windage tray in oil pan needs “race style” set up. As far as 

the factory is concerned that is what GT3RS and Cup Cars 

are designed for. 

Going to short throw shifters with stock synchros can also 

be a problem. The system works well until an owner is really 

running some adrenalin and trying to get better lap times, 

even then really good drivers do not wear down synchros. 

In the past the cars and the technology available were 

pretty primitive. A stock Boxster built today has so much 

potential it is amazing. Minor upgrades to suspension or 

brakes are easy and results are huge. Work on these cars as 

long as I have and come out of a 356 as your starter car and 

you would understand. 

Anyhow. Here is what I’m getting to. I’ve spent time with 

factory people for decades at the repair level. Met engineers 

that came out to investigate issues way back (for me, actually 

first time was early 1972 911S car, late in the year 1972; I’ll 

never forget that one). 

They still come out today if I report anything new or 

unusual on a new car. It is quite different now. There is a 

team of engineers that 20 of us dealers report to monthly. I 

am required to get in a minimum of 10 reports a month to 

them. High res pics are a must and written documentation 

of every step taken to resolve an issue is required. We 20 

reporting individuals have a special site we go to, set up 

just for “product reporting”. There we log on and send our 

information. If a part failed we take pics of bar code on part 

so they can view production date, where produced, etc. Plus 

our feedback on a failure must include symptoms failure 

caused, any consequential failures that result in the vehicle, 

and pics of all damage etc. 

The engineering team is a group of very passionate 

people. I absolutely love conversing and reporting to them. 

No failure of anything is considered beneath investigating 

for them. Something as simple as a light bulb failure can 

produce some interesting results. 

The cars now have monitoring software that can show 

mechanical over-rev situations. Any idea how many people 

accidentally pull second gear when intending fourth gear 

and at redline in third gear? We see quite a few yearly... It 

happens. It is human to make a mistake. Unfortunately that 

is an expensive mistake. We’ve seen GT3’s that recorded 

11000 RPM over-revs. Amazingly this usually only results 

in things like ring gear on flywheel shifts out of position 

and often times the clutch disc explodes into pieces. If 

the engine checks ok otherwise as far as leak-down tests 

and compression check goes, it still leaves many unknown 

possible damage that may rear its ugly head at a later time. 

Like stretched rod bolts, minutely bent valves that kissed a 

piston, etc. I do not ask the factory for assistance in repairs 

like that. That is the owner’s responsibility. 

It is a moving target for me when people track their cars 

and failures occur. I want honesty on all fronts. Porsche 

responds well to honest data. I enjoy every minute of being 

in this position. It keeps me interested in so many ways. 

Cruising along! Cliff

Member Spotlight: Paige Hamrick 

Andrea Bell, Public Relations Chair 

This month’s new member 

spotlight is on Paige Hamrick. 

Paige owns a beautiful red 

2009 Cayman S. (She actually shared 

with me that the car is named Sexy 

Sadie.) Paige has had her car since 

this past July. Her first sports car 

was a 1986 red Fiero GT. She also 

currently owns a 2004 BMW Z4 roadster and just sold 

her 2006 Mini Cooper S. (I should have asked her if 

the other cars had names as well.) 

Paige has one sister in Nashville, TN and a niece and 

nephew. Her niece went with Paige on a recent trip 

to Italy (her graduation present.) Her nephew has not 

graduated yet and has not decided where he wants to 

go. She gushed that they both “are beautiful/handsome, 

smart, and talented.” 

Paige has been in the DFW area 

for 30 years. She says she came 

here from Florida as quick as 

she could! Paige also 

enjoys traveling, jewelry making, tracking her cars, and 

taking road trips. She hinted that she might participate 

in an upcoming Sunday drive. Based on what she 

shared, it sounds like she’ll have a great time. 

Look for Paige and Sexy Sadie at the next PCA event 

you attend and extend a warm welcome into our 

Maverick family. If you are a new member and would 

like to be considered for our monthly “SPOTLIGHT” 

feature, please contact me at pr@mavpca.org. 


Happy Hour at BJ’s Restaurant 

Chris Christensen, Happy Hour Chair 

We had over 30 Mavericks join us 

at the September Happy Hour. 

This was our first Happy Hour 

at BJ’s; it seemed that 

most everyone was 

enjoying some pretty 

good looking pizzas 

or salads. No food 

complaints were apparent. However, 

we will need to generate a vote of 

confidence before we return…was it 

thumbs up or thumbs down? Send us 

an email so we will know for the future, 

your vote counts! 

By the time this article hits the press, 

we will have had our first speaker at a 

Happy Hour. Perhaps this was done 

in the past, and if so we are not the 

first. From time to time and certainly 

not every Happy Hour we thought it 

interesting to invite someone from the 

club or maybe outside the club if he or she has the right 

stuff, to speak for a short while towards the end of dinner. 

Anyway, maybe another vote is in order as to whether this 

is good addition to our venue or not. 

Certainly, Jack Griffin who was our speaker at October’s 

Happy Hour has the credentials. He also still owns his first 

two Porsches that are now over thirty years old…and we 

Photos by Chris Christensen 

has met that has driven in major races such as the 24 hour of 

Le Mans. That is pretty impressive by all accounts regardless 

of the finish. The race has had an interesting history, and 

not always the most 

pleasant, but certainly 

always exciting. 

If anyone would like 

to talk about racing or 

Porsches in any way 

that would keep our 

Happy Hour audience 

nearly spellbound, do 

not hesitate and step 

right up. There is no 

money involved but 

the bragging rights 

are endless. 

By the way, we 

forgot to mention that 

the parking was pretty 

decent at BJ’s. Most everyone parked in an open area with 

Porsches on both sides. And we noticed a new black 911

you to our next Happy Hour.

thought we were collectors of stuff. (Just sold a Boxster after 

10 years never thought we would own a car that long!) So, 

as we write this we might ask Jack for a tour of his garage, or 

should we say museum? Jack is the first person this writer

Cab in the midst…now who might own that? 

For our November Happy Hour, we are back to a tried 

and true favorite, Mac’s Steak and Seafood located at 5120 

Highway 121, Colleyville, TX. 76034 – (Cross Streets: 

Between Gateway Drive and State Highway 121;) Telephone 

no. 817-318-6227. This is a week before Thanksgiving so 

we shouldn’t worry too much about our waistlines. 

Tom and Susan Froehlich are great fun! 

See you all there. 

Mike and Judy Brodigan would love to enjoy 

the evening with you. 


My First Porsche ... Club 

By Mark Wilkinson 

I 

was invited to join my brother, James, 

at a Time Trial event in Mineral Wells. 

He offered to let me drive his car at the 

event. This would be my first Time Trial, 

and I didn’t really know what that meant. I 

knew I would be driving fast around a lot 

of cones. I was also told it was similar to 

an Autocross, but with higher speeds and 

less turns. Well this was going to be fun! I love to drive fast, 

and thanks to my brother, I just had to show up. 

I found out this event was organized by a Porsche Club 

(PCA Maverick Region). The odd part is, I wouldn’t be 

driving a Porsche. You see, this Porsche Club welcomes 

people to their event. More people ease the burden of 

working the course, and make it a safer driving environment. 

Although I wouldn’t be directly competing in the official 

Porsche Club member times, I can compare my lap times to 

theirs, and see how I stack up in my brother’s Ford Mustang. 

This was my first experience with a Porsche Club, and I 

wasn’t sure if I would end up sucking exhaust smoke at the 

end of the day, but I was willing to find out! 

The course I would be driving isn’t a strip of asphalt 

where the driver just keeps the car off the grass. This is a 

wide open 60+ acre asphalt lot with cones spread out to 

mark the track at key locations. It’s not thousands of cones, 

and the cone spacing makes it difficult to see the course at 

first, but once I put a few laps on the tires, the track came 

into focus and became second nature to follow. 

Since it was my first time at the Time Trial, I was assigned 

an instructor/coach to help me visualize the course. The 

stars aligned for me that day because I was assigned Bob 

Kuykendall. Bob was the top driver of last year’s events, 

and was a tremendous help. After a short wait in the grid, 

we hit the course for my first warm up lap. Bob was quick to 

point out the correct line. He kept his hand in my peripheral 

view, constantly pointing to the correct line. Verbally, he 

would keep me 

informed of 

what was coming 

up next. “Left 

turn. Increasing 

radius.” “Right 

turn. Decreasing 

radius.” After the 

corner he would 

give me words of 

encouragement. 

“Not bad. Enter 

a little tighter 

next time.” 

Mark Wilkinson running solo after successful 

mentoring from Bob Kuykendall. 

Photos by Charlie Davis 

We quickly came up to my first hot lap. Bob let me know 

it was time to go as fast as I could drive. I didn’t want to 

disappoint, so I gathered all my courage and stepped on 

the gas. I could hear the excitement in Bob’s voice as we 

approached each corner. He told me when to brake, pointed 

me to the apex, and told me when to hit the accelerator. 

Coming out of the corner, I can still hear his encouragement, 

“Step on the gas. Go! 

Go! Go!” All I had to do 

was have the courage to 

follow his instructions. 

The box exit was problematic for 

several drivers, including 

Travis Howard. 

I was flying around 

the course! My heart 

was beating fast in my 

chest, I just knew I was 

squeezing every ounce 

of power out of the car. 

Bob was correcting my 

mistakes, but after the 

first couple of laps, he 

wasn’t making major corrections anymore. I was picking 

my lines, choosing when to brake or accelerate, and Bob 

encouraged me the entire time! It was definitely the fastest 

I could push the car around the corners, and I was sure it 

couldn’t take any more. 

Then on the third hot lap, Bob said something that 

surprised me. “You’re doing great. Now, you just need to 

go fast.” WHAT! Was Bob not watching the same brilliant 

driving of my warm up lap, and my amazingly hot laps? I 

wasn’t sure my heart could 

take any more adrenaline. 

He didn’t say go faster, 

or speed it up. He said go 

fast. That meant I must 

have been going slow. 

How could I go any faster 

without killing myself and 

the top driver from last 

year? I was already at the 

limit, or so I thought. 

I’ve been with Bob for 

less than 5 minutes on 

...and Carey Spreen. 

the course. I already trusted him to keep me from killing 

everyone, so it was time to put up or shut up. If Bob trusts his 

life with a guy he’s known for less than 5 driving minutes, 

then I was going to have to trust him as I pushed the car 

beyond where I thought the limits were. 

I pushed my heart as far down from my throat as possible, 

and kept my foot on the accelerator. As we approached the 

26

My First Porsche ... Club (continued) 

corner, Bob would motion with his hand to brake, but I knew 

the brakes were strong, so I waited until the inevitable crash 

moment. To me, this is the moment when you take action to 

avoid a crash, and if your brakes don’t work, there isn’t time 

to do anything else. It’s all or nothing! I think this point was 

a little further than Bob wanted because after a few corners, 

he was pumping his 

hand to let me know it 

was time to brake, but 

I held it just a little 

longer. The car slowed 

hard to the corner. 

Bob’s excitement 

and encouragement 

picked up. “That’s 

it! Keep your speed. 

Brian Petri wobbles it on his way by. Now, Go! Go! Go!” 

If I wasn’t on the 

brakes, I was back on the accelerator. Bob was right! The 

car held the line at a much higher speed. I could feel the 

rear tires slipping out on me, but they kept holding just long 

enough to get me through the corner. I knew I was going 

faster, but I wouldn’t know how much faster until my laps 

were complete. 

After 6 hot laps, I finally got to check my times. The 

difference was amazing! When I thought I was giving it 

all it had, I was running 85 to 86 second laps. After Bob 

provided the phrase that will haunt me forever, “Now just 

go fast,” my lap times were down to 71 and 72 seconds. 

A 13 second difference from one set of laps to the next! I 

really was driving slow, and for the record, a Porsche driver 

pointed it out to me. 

Not bad for my first experience with a Porsche Club. 

Everyone shared information on how to set up for the 

corners, encouragement of smoother motions, and the extra 

special yell when I spun the 

car in the corners. There are 

many more stories I share 

with friends as I regale my 

adventure at the event. 90 

degree sweeping corners at 

speeds over 100 mph, lift 

off over steer at 70mph in 

an increasing radius turn, 

applying power instead of 

brakes to keep the back of 

the car from sliding out 

from under me when I push 

the corner too hard, and 

many more. 

Jeff Herrmann, while instructing, 

shows his student Chris 

Harsdorff exactly how it should 

be done. 

For me, the main story that stands out in my experience 

with my first Porsche club is the encouragement, 

improvement, excitement, and camaraderie I felt as I spent 

my weekend with a group 

of people who, despite not 

knowing me, wanted to 

help me achieve everything 

I could on the course I 

wasn’t a member of their 

club. I didn’t own a 

Porsche, and I wasn’t a 

good driver, but that’s 

changing since I’ve

Tech Corner 

Ed Mullenix, Tech Chair 

have all the electrons 

gone” is not a song by 

“Where 

Peter, Paul, and Mary. It 

is a question pondered by us when we turn 

the ignition key of our beloved Porsche and 

nothing happens. The electrical system 

of any Porsche made after 1965 is very 

robust. We generally do not experience 

the wiring and component issues that other marques do. 

And no, your Porsche will not catch dreaded Lucas disease 

if you park it next to a Jag. 

The weak link in our 

electrical system is the 

usually the battery. Modern 

automotive storage batteries 

are very reliable. They require 

no maintenance and sit in their 

mounting doing their thing 

until one day, they decide to 

quit. A battery is a service 

item just like brake pads and 

oil filters. We know when 

we need to change the oil or 

change our brakes, but a battery 

does not have a recommended 

replacement interval and there 

is not a light on the instrument 

panel telling you your battery 

is about to die! 

Sometimes you get a hint that 

things are not well electrically. 

If the engine cranks slowly 

and the battery is more than 

three years old, one would be 

advised to have the electrical 

system checked. I stated 

“electrical system” and not 

just battery. The humongous batteries that are fitted to a 

Porsche are usually 100 amp-hour batteries. 

Theoretically, one could place a one amp draw on the 

battery for 100 hours. In practice, if you leave the trunk 

open for more than a day, the trunk light will discharge 

the battery to the point that it will not start the car. Often 

overlooked when we experience battery problems is what is 

called “static draw”. It is how much current is flowing out 

of the battery to run the clock and computer memories when 

everything else is turned off. The 996’s and 997’s have all 

sorts of whistles and bells that are computer controlled. The 

normal static draw on a 997 can be as much as 70 milliamps. 

An older 911 will have a static draw around 10-25 

Photos by Ed Mullenix, 

milli-amps. 

A quick way to determine if you have something left on 

or drawing more than the normal current is to place a test 

light in series with the negative battery cable and the battery 

post (see accompanying photo). An automotive test light 

resembles an ice pick with a wire attached to the handle. It 

has a small bulb in the handle that glows when current is 

run through it. They are inexpensive (usually around four 

bucks) and available at any auto parts store or even Wally 

World in the auto section. 

To perform the test, make 

sure everything is turned off. 

Open the trunk and either 

disconnect the trunk light or 

remove the bulb. Also, if 

you have a car fitted with an 

alarm, you need to disconnect 

the switch connected to the 

trunk latch (the alarm system 

will draw 240 milliamps if it 

detects an open door or trunk). 

Disconnect the negative battery 

cable from the battery (some 

twisting of the cable connector 

might be required to free it.) 

Connect the alligator clip on 

the end of the test light wire to 

the negative cable. Place the 

metal tip of the test light (the 

ice-pick looking end) on top of 

the battery post. The test light 

will usually be brightly lit at 

this point because you have 

not reset the alarm or computer 

memories. With the light still 

connected, touch the side of 

the battery cable connector to 

the battery for a couple of seconds then move it away. If no 

unusual draw exists, the light will glow very dimly with a 

slight pulsing caused by the quartz clock. If the light is still 

brightly lit, something is still on and needs to be addressed 

or the battery will continue to be discharged. 

Basic electrical troubleshooting and battery servicing 

will be one of the topics presented at the next Tech Session 

at Motorsport Engineering in Richardson on Saturday, 

November 27th from 9:00 until 12:00. We will have the 

usual donuts and coffee and an excuse not to go to the 

shopping mall with our significant others. RSVP to 

techcorner@mavpca.
