Drifting 

Bryan Bell, Vice President 

Mike is out having fun in the 

world this month so I said I 

would fill in with a few words 

to everyone about the region. October 

is always a great month with PCA & 

Maverick Region. It is cooler outside after 

the long hot summer which seems to last 

from May to the end of September. The 

leaves are turning great colors and things are everywhere 

to do with our cars. Just in the month of October we have: 

2 Time Trials, 2 Autocrosses, a Driver’s Education at MSR, 

a Sunday Drive to see the leaves turning, a swap meet, 2 

lunches, a Board meeting and a happy hour. Not to mention 

the Club Race up at Hallett. To do them all, I may need 

to quit my job! What better way than a Porsche and good 

Porsche friends, to spend your October 2010. I can’t wait to 

see you at an event soon and hear your stories. 

Mav of the Month 

Our Mav of the Month is Travis Howard. Travis has been 

the Time Trial chair for two years now and that’s no small 

job with eight TT’s - two of which are at MSR. Plus, he 

has just taken on the job of Grid Control at our DE’s. This 

is not an easy job to step into after Jan Mayo had this job 

for about 10 years. Travis has a passion for Porsches, but 

a bigger passion for helping others. 

For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver Fox in 

Grapevine is giving Travis dinner for two at their award 

winning steak house. 

Travis, thanks for all you do.

Richard Bradley, Managing Editor 

Well, after last month’s hot 

temperatures, Texas has finally 

begun to cool down for the 

year, now we all have got to love that! 

More time outside at events enjoying the 

cars and friends we love. And one that’s 

coming up out of our normal sphere of fun 

is a multi Regional gathering in Arkansas 

that goes by the name of “Porsche Palooza!” This three 

day gathering will be held the weekend of November 12 

- 14 in Eureka Springs, AR. So, if you are in the least bit 

interested, you better make your reservation now, because 

rooms are filling up fast. For more information, visit www. 

pca-palooza.com. There will be plenty of fellow Mavericks 

attending, so make some friends and start a new tradition. 

Porsche ~ n. “The finest sports car in the world. “There is 

no substitute.” Palooza ~ n. An occasion for feasting or 

celebration, especially a time of almost religious significance 

that occurs at regular intervals. v. To observe an occasion 

with appropriate ceremony or festivity. 

Before I forget again, last month’s Trivia had the wrong 

answers in Slipstream, and for that, I apologize. Here are the 

correct answers 1) c, 2) b, 3) a, 4) a, 5) d.

Maverick Minutes 

by Lisa Steele 

WARNING: You may be 

shocked at how quickly you 

read these minutes! The reason 

for this warning is that our wonderful Vice 

President, Bryan Bell, ran the meeting 

for this month. You see, people are really 

scared of him and they get right to the 

point with what needs to be said. 

The meeting began promptly at 7:00 with Mr. Bell’s 

leadership. Bryan assured the group that all upcoming 

events are covered with insurance. 

We quickly moved on to the next person in our round table 

discussion…Wendy Shoffit. Wendy asked if we were still 

good on brochures and John Hamilton said there was still 

plenty. Wendy will not have any reprinted for now. 

James Shoffit announced that the Nominating Committee 

is doing their job. They have one person interested in taking 

over the President position. Three people would like to be 

Vice President. There is “maybe” one person interested 

in being Secretary and definitely one person interested in 

staying on as Treasurer. 

Richard Bradley brought with him the September issue 

of Slipstream with a great picture of our President, Mike 

Brodigan, standing outside of the Silver Fox. Richard said 

that he would be dropping off some of these issues to the 

Silver Fox. Richard also reported that he and Ed Mullenix 

are working on some good Tech articles. Richard was also 

happy to report that he had one person answer his Help 

Wanted Ad. Hiram Saunders stepped up and said he would 

help. Any additional help from anyone would be GREAT! 

Tom and Barbara Minnella and Linda Bambina spoke to 

the group about next year’s Round Up. They are planning 

a wonderful event at Possum Kingdom Lake. They have 

all kinds of wonderful ideas and they are thinking about 

possibly combining their event with another driving event 

like an Autocross or Time Trial at Mineral Wells. Sounds 

fun!!! 

Clint Blackman reports that we have Sunday Drives! The 

next drive will be a great route from Duncanville to Cresson 

where the group will enjoy some time at MSR and get to 

take their cars on the track for charity laps. 

John Hamilton announced that the dates for DE’s have 

been set for next year. The schedule remains the same 

with the exception of a few fall dates. There was a corner 

worker conflict, but by changing the dates we should have 

our superior crew of corner workers with us. John also 

announced that we have a new Equipment Manager. Luke 

Edson will be handling this job. Our new Grid “Queen” 

is Travis Howard and Cathy Howard will be our new Gate 

Control person. John also asked Wendy if it is too much 

trouble to continue making name tags for the drivers. Of 

course, Wendy said it is no problem at all and she will have 

them ready for the September DE. 

Jim Falgout reported, “We Have Money!” He also 

announced that he has taken over the billing for Slipstream 

Ads. Payments were due in September and many advertisers 

have paid…woohoo!! 

Carey Spreen reported that he has been to a couple more 

SCCA Rallies to get some good ideas for next year. 

Travis Howard reported that there is an upcoming AX/TT 

in Mineral Wells. 

Robyn Howard reported that she will be working out on 

a corner at the September DE…hope you hear my honk, 

Robyn! 

We concluded our round table discussion with Bryan’s 

last statement: The Colorado Club Race was Awesome!! 

Meeting adjourned at 7:30PM. 

Was I right??? Shortest Minutes Ever!!

High Plains Raceway Club Race 

By Bryan Bell 

For me, one of the best feelings in 

racing is the moment you climb 

into your SUV and head to the 

track. The trailer is loaded down with 

your completely prepared car and 

you click your seatbelt knowing you 

are headed out on a racing trip! You 

have all these minutes ahead of you 

to enjoy: the trip itself to the track, unpacking all of 

the track stuff, seeing and talking with friends, learning 

a new track, feeling the rush of the race start and the 

joy on your face when you crawl out of your car at the 

Photos by Jeremy Rosenberger 

end of a hard day. Man, if the pros that get paid to do 

this still have this feeling - that sure must be close to 

nirvana! 

My family and I headed out on my quest for nirvana on 

Wednesday afternoon. We met up with David Hodges 

(fellow new Club Racer in my GTB1 class) in Denton. 

We hoped that traveling together would ease each 

other’s pain if traveling trouble came up for either of 

us. We made it to Wichita, KS, and stayed the night. On 

Thursday we finished the boring and uneventful drive 

across the plains and pulled into High Plains Raceway 

just as a 50+ mph storm rolled in! As I rushed to unload 

10

my car, we had sideways rain (or at least as close as 

I have ever seen)! I was hoping very much that this 

was not a sign of what was to come. The storm passed, 

the sun returned, and I really wanted to 

walk around the track. Unfortunately, 

no one there seemed to want to let us 

do it, so we headed out. We were tired 

and still had a 50-minute drive to the 

hotel. I also thought that a nice dinner 

with my sister, brother-in-law, niece, 

and nephew would be better, anyway. 

Friday morning came and I was 

ready to go. Bring on the smell of hot 

brakes and burning rubber! Friday 

was an open lapping day for the track. I needed it 

very much since I had never been on this track before. 

As open track days go, let’s just say they were very 

relaxed there. There were lots of PCA racers plus about 

40% of the field was every kind of street car you could 

think of - from $5k to $200k. The skill level was about 

the same, as well. I rushed out with the first group on 

track and quickly found Rocky Johnson close to me. I 

locked onto his tail knowing I could learn a pretty good 

line from him since he raced there last year (and set the 

track record in Spec Boxster). 

Wow, what a track! It was smooth as 

glass, fast, and would make you pay 

with slow exit speeds if you made a bad 

turn in on any number of blind apexes. 

Even with the 

slow unpredictable 

traffic and old 

tires on my car, 

the track was not 

intimidating as a 

new track normally 

is to me. I found 

myself with quick 

and unjustified (as 

you will see next) 

confidence that 

I could master this track in no time. A quick stop in 

the pits to check tires, (thanks to my nephew, Hunter 

“Pit Master for the weekend”), I was back out in the 

madness of a crowded track. Then on the third lap on 

the second run set, I found myself with open track 

down the long back straight. 

I have renamed this straight, “Enough rope to hang 

yourself with.” Let me explain. You come out of a 

challenging fast right corner at the top of third gear, 

shift quickly into fourth as you settle into the straight 

on the left side. Then you run out the intoxicating sound 

of fourth gear and enjoy the slow motion shift to that 

wonderful pop of revs as fifth gear kicks you in the butt! 

Just as you start rolling past 135mph, you see that the track 

ahead of you falls off. So the fearful question, with nothing 

much around you 

but the grass of 

the plains is, “how 

much do I brake 

and when?” Next is 

an easy fourth gear 

right, but do I track 

out completely 

before the harder 

Bryan working his way up on David ! 

downhill left that 

is next or not? 

I think, “of course, track out at maximum speed!” and I 

quickly come off the brakes and jam the gas back to the floor. 

Well, I didn’t remember the downhill third gear left that was 

coming next… However, it remembered me as I ran straight 

off the end of corner 5 at 90+mph! I can laugh now about 

it, knowing I had no damage other than tumbleweeds in my 

brake ducts. By the end of the day, I had the track down and 

felt good enough about this track to call it the best track I 

have ever had the pleasure to drive. 

Now let’s get to racing. Saturday morning comes slowly 

as I didn’t sleep much at all Friday night. Sign in, tech, and 

drivers’ meeting pass by and then off to the 

first session on track. I am quickly reminded 

that this is a Club Race not another open 

lapping day! One of the GTB1 Caymans 

in my class finishes 5 seconds faster than 

any of my times from the day before. 

Hmmm… time to put on the good tires and 

start driving like I mean it! At a club race, 

Rocky Johnson 

they grid you up based on your lap times, 

giving the # 1 a 

and that makes it nice in practice for two 

run for his money. 

reasons. First, you get to run a mostly clean 

Corey Harbold track and second, you can work with and 

making his move learn from like drivers around you. Corey 

on the inside! Harbold drives a G class car at about the 

same pace as me. Yes, I have a lot more car 

than he does, but he is a better driver than 

I am. I have learned a lot from Corey (and 

many others) by following him around many tracks. As we 

start the hour long enduro race, I find myself running close 

to Corey and think, “Great, he will help me drive out of this 

messy start.” The problem came when I started running 

over him on the long straights and that just slowed us both 

down. I learned a little that race about not fighting with 

others who are not in your class, as it just hurts you both. I 

ended the enduro with first in class and 8th overall. I was 

feeling good that tomorrow could be my day, as well. 

Sunday started well with the first 30-minute sprint race 

going my way and another first place finish. Funny thing 

during that race was that I looked down with 5 minutes to 


go and saw I was out of gas. I radioed in at one point to 

my wife, “Wow, I have never put my car into sixth gear on 

a race track before!” I was trying to save gas to make the 

finish line! 

The last sprint race was the best of the weekend. David, 

my fellow Maverick in my class, started beside 

me and I felt it was going to be a hard race to the 

finish. We rolled tighter and tighter together right 

to the heart stopping drop of the green flag, raced 

into turn one side-by-side and on into corner two 

when the car in front of me ran though the dirt 

of the apex. It made a thick cloud that 

made me think of Ricky Bobby driving 

though the smoke! Now quickly 

running down to the fast right hander 

of corner three before the long straight, 

I squeezed over left onto the fast line 

ahead of David and behind a fast GTC 

Cup car. As we all screamed down the “hang man” straight, 

the adrenalin is off the chart now. Then the Cup cars in 

front of me (and not David) started to fight at 135 mph and 

started checking up early! As I started my braking early 

with them, David rolled by on my right into the tight apex 

now blocked on the left by the Cup cars and me. I remember 

thinking, “Man, I wish I would have stayed on the right!” 

As we settled in over the next few laps, I think at times, I 

was inches from David’s bumper as we squeezed in and out 

of corners playing cat and mouse. 

I started learning where I was faster and the line that David 

liked to run. It was a blast making runs up beside David 

into corners I had no chance of passing in. But now I had 

a plan… I was going to 

back off and get a run 

down 13, 14, 15 into 1 

and 2 where I was faster 

than him - making my

of turn two to claim the

position. But all of a 

sudden, I learned I had 

already beat myself! 

In my rush to run tight 

to David’s bumper and 

brake late and hard in 

all the corners, I had been starving my poor brakes of that 

all important cooling air! Oh no, it can’t be that I boiled 

my brakes! It was over, as I slowed down and David faded 

away from me over the remaining 4 or so laps. Live and 

learn - I always do that the hard way! 

All in all, it was a great weekend on a great track. I can’t 

wait to do it again!

My first Porsche was a surprise from my wife. She arranged for me to meet Keith 

Beitter, my sales consultant, and I had an excellent experience. When the lease was 

up, I returned to Park Place Porsche, and they again met my needs with no hassle. 

My current car is a 2009 Cayman S, which is an improved version of my previous 

2007 Cayman, and I love it just the way it is. 

Park Place does much more than just sell and service cars – they help their 

clients truly enjoy the Porsche driving experience. We participated in our first 

Park Place Porsche driving event about a month ago, and it was perfect. It was a 

rally-style drive through twisty roads that culminated in a wonderful steak lunch. 

It was fantastic to share the experience with a great group of people who also 

appreciate Porsches. 

All dealers look the same from the outside, but what matters most is the people 

inside the dealership, and that’s what impresses me most about Park Place Porsche. 

They make me feel important, and they offer that same customer experience to 

everyone, whether they purchase new or pre-owned. They’re professional and deal 

with you in an open, face-to-face, comfortable relationship so that you know you 

matter. There’s just no comparison to Porsche or to Park Place.

Newbies at Boxstoberfest 

By Tom Froehlich 

It was late spring this year that our Maverick Region 

friends, John and BJ Harvey, told us about this great fall 

event in the hill country of Texas called Boxstoberfest. 

From their description, it was an event that was not to be 

missed. So we called the Fredericksburg Inn and made 

our hotel reservations for the weekend after Labor Day to 

assure we had a place to stay. But it was several months 

before I actually went online to register for the event. Much 

to my surprise, there was no entry fee, the only cost was for 

organized meals during the weekend. 

Friday, September 10 rolled around more quickly than I 

expected and after quickly packing up, we headed out. We 

took the back way, down US 281 through Lampasas down 

to Johnson City, then west on US 290 to our destination. We 

Photos by Steve Boyd 

checked in to the Inn and headed over to the Auslander to 

register and join our other Maverick friends in attendance. 

As a bonus, we were able to drink some authentic German 

beer and sample a platter of various German sausages 

and cheeses. It was a great way to get started. After the 

appetizers, we joined the Harveys for dinner at a wonderful 

place called the Herb Garden where we had a truly gourmet 

meal with some delicious wine from the hill country. By the 

time we were done, we were all ready for a good night’s 

sleep back at the Inn. 

Saturday morning, we got up early and had breakfast 

before going to the car wash and preparing for the show and 

shine. After a quick cleaning, we were ready and headed 

over to the Gillespie County Airport where all the cars 

16

were lined up on the tarmac. It was impressive to see the 90+ 

Porsches all lined up with small aircraft in the background and 

while Boxsters were in the majority, the cars on display ran the 

gamut of the Porsche line, except for the Cayenne. There was 

even a new Panamera Turbo at the event. Over 150 participants 

wandered around socializing and checking out the beautiful 

collection of our beloved marque. Shortly before 10 a.m. we 

were called to the drivers’ meeting in preparation for the day’s 

drives. There were 3 events: a tour, a rally, and a scenic drive. 

We went with the tour drive which was the largest group and 

was the longest event. 

The tour covered 240 miles of incredible hill country roads, 

including 2 of the 3 famous “twisted sisters.” If you haven’t heard 

of them, they are 3 Texas Ranch Roads, 335, 336 and 337, that 

twist, turn and go up and 

down some of the most 

beautiful and remote 

topo of the central Texas 

hill country between 

Fredericksburg and San 

Antonio. The morning 

was overcast and cool 

for Texas and everyone 

in a drop top had theirs 

down, enjoying the 

pleasure of open air 

driving. 120 miles down 

the road we stopped for 

lunch at the Frio Canyon Motorcycle shop, where they 

also have a barbeque restaurant. Everyone got their fill 

of beef brisket or pulled pork before hitting the road 

again. 

The afternoon was warmer and the clouds had 

vanished, so after lunch most put their tops up and 

turned on the air conditioning for the rest of the drive. 

Even with the top up, the beauty of the drive wasn’t 

diminished, but we were spared further sun damage 

to our somewhat weathered brows. We arrived back 

at the airport around 4 p.m. where we all convened on 

the officers’ club for more conversation and some adult 

beverages. An hour later we headed back to the Inn for a 

cooling afternoon swim before the evening’s celebratory 

dinner.

The Saturday 

evening dinner was 

held at the Inn on 

Baron Creek, so all 

we had to do was walk 

across the street. The 

food was ample and 

a typical Tex-Mex 

fajita dinner. The real 

treat was the awards 

ceremony where the 

Rally winners were 

announced. Maverick

Region’s own Brian and Beth 

Morgan won the event in 

their first ever rally, missing 

the mileage mark on the rally 

by only 1/10 of a mile. The 

most important fact, though, 

was that the rally didn’t 

damage their marriage. The 

only problem is that they now 

think that this rally stuff is 

easy. Anyone who’s rallyed 

before knows that 1 win in a 

rally is 1 win and your next 

experience will be completely different. Congratulations on 

your win, Brian and Beth, and best of luck on your next 

rally. As former first time winners, Susan and I can tell 

you, “It will be different next time.” There was also an 

award for most lost, won by Tom and Linda Bragaw, 

and they had won last year’s rally! There lies a another 

cautionary tale for any prior winners. 

The rest of the evening was spent in great fun 

and camaraderie with a drawing in which everyone 

won something and some won more than once. The 

organizers had an amazing collection of prizes donated 

by many sponsors and everyone went home that night 

with something they won.

As newbies, we can truly say it was a great weekend of fun 

and regardless of the model Porsche you drive, you will enjoy 

this event. 

Boxstoberfest is a joint effort put on by Maverick, Longhorn, 

and Hill Country Regions. This year was their 13th year hosting 

and they plan to keep on going. Be sure to put this on your 

calendar for next year. I have been told by reliable sources it is 

always the weekend after Labor Day. We hope to see you there 

next year on September 9th thru 11th!

Cliff’s Ramblings: CVAR 

by Cliff Blackshear 

This recent labor-day weekend I 

found myself caught up with most 

of my chores and had nothing 

planned for the weekend. So I called a 

friend to tell him the license plate light 

assemblies for his 1978 911SC had come 

in and I had them in my possession. He 

answered my call and reported that he 

was working flag/safety on a corner for CVAR (Corinthian 

Vintage Auto Racing) at Texas 

World Speedway and had been 

there all that day (Friday). He went 

on and on about the cool vintage 

cars that were there. 

I have worked flag/safety at two 

CVAR events in the not too distant 

past. One at Hallett, Oklahoma 

and one at Eagles Canyon, here in 

Texas. For someone of my age it 

is pretty cool to witness, especially 

from a corner station. A lotta 

English stuff (Sprites, Midgets, 

Bee’s, TR’s, few Cortinas, early 

911’s, an occasional 356, etc.). 

You rarely see a 356, which is just 

shameful. We usually see a few 

Alphas, many open wheeled cars 

(Formula Vee, Formula Super Vee, 

Formula Ford, and a few Formula Atlantics), etc. You also 

get the ground pounders - big bore V8 cars from the early 

days... Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes and such. 

The cool thing is the heritage of some of the machines. 

These are not replicas. They are the real deal, saved from 

the past and fell into the hands of people who still want 

to race them against other cars of that era. It is interesting 

to watch. Shelby GT350 Mustang’s, Sunoco Camaro Z28’s, 

Maclarens, Lolas etc. 

I pulled up an email from Doug Mains about a call for 

corner workers. I had declined working a corner as I thought 

I was going to be doing something else that weekend, which 

ultimately did not happen. The email had the entire schedule 

for the event attached and I printed it out. 

I made the drive to the track and parked. I called a dear 

friend while walking from the car just to chat about my 

arrival, etc. As we are talking, I turned the corner around 

the concession building and there is a bright red Ferrari 

Dino. Top off, keys in the ignition and no one around but 

me. WOW! It was beautiful, automotive art. My camera 

died a few months ago so I could only take a few shots of 

Photo by Cliff Blackshear 

the car with my cell phone. I sent them to my friend that I 

was talking to because she wanted to see it, as well. That is 

a rare car. The owner actually went out and did pace car duty 

for one race in it. Vey cool stuff. It just got better from there. 

The first group of open wheeled cars was mostly Vee’s. 

Not much fun to watch as a spectator, but I could see some 

pretty good competitive driving was going on with some. 

Then the next group of open wheeled cars came out. The 

car that was on pole, turned out to be an ex-Jack Brabham 

F1 car. I have yet to get the exact 

model. I think it could be a BT35 

with a modified front wing, but 

I’m not sure. It was really fast and 

left the field with so much ease. 

My corner worker friend tells me 

he talked to the owner and he is 

absolutely loving the chance to 

experience the car. Behind him 

were some super quick Formula 

Atlantics. Watching these guys 

dive into turn one was pretty cool. 

The Formula Ford field was big 

and some great racing went on 

there. 

Then the sedans came out. If 

what I was told is correct three of 

the Mustangs on course were rare 

factory prep R model race cars. 

Unbelievable. What caught my eye during that race session 

was a duel at the back of the pack between a Cortina and a 

911. As they came off the final corner onto the main straight, 

the 911 was in the lead. Yet the Cortina had more exit speed 

and passed the 911 midway down the straight. Then on 

entry to turn one the 911 went inside and took the position 

back. They did this lap after lap. A real good dog fight. Then 

near the end of the race, the 911 appeared out of the last 

corner, with about an extra 2 car lengths lead. Two laps later 

the checker came out and the 911 driver prevailed. It was 

awesome to watch and I was so excited for both drivers… 

They had a good weekend. 

There was a 911 on course with Jagermeister decals on 

it. It looked familiar, as if I had seen it years ago, but I was 

unable to get info on the car. 

So here I am posting an article with a picture of a Ferrari 

Dino in Slipstream. It was deliberate. I thought about all the 

folks I see and talk to in my shop. No one I have met, would 

not appreciate what I saw this weekend. 

Just Rambling Along! 

Cliff

Member Spotlight: Chuck Bray 

by Andrea Bell 

This month’s new member spotlight 

is on Chuck Bray. Before we start, 

I have a confession - Chuck is not 

new to my family. He IS family! Chuck 

is actually my brother-in-law. Chuck 

owns a black 

2006 Carrera S. 

He purchased it 

from a friend about two years ago. 

Before that he was exclusively 

a Corvette fan - having worked 

on Chevrolets since he was a 

teenager. 

Bryan (my husband) kept 

inviting him to come out to our 

various driving events and he 

finally gave in. He brought his 

Corvette out several times but 

Bryan managed to bring him over 

the “dark side” (Chuck’s own words, not mine.) He’s now 

been converted from Chevy to Porsche! Chuck says, “The 

more I drive the Porsche, the more I am impressed with its 

handling and reliability. It’s nice to drive a car hard and 

Photo by Nicki Bray 

have no mechanical failures. You just have to replace the 

brakes and tires.” 

Chuck was so impressed with Porsche, that he has finally 

joined our Maverick family. He and his family have lived in 

the Dallas area since 1987. He is 

married to Nicki (Bryan’s sister) 

and has two children. Whitney 

is 24 and is in graduate school at 

Oklahoma University. Hunter is 

21 and a senior at Texas A&M 

University. It seems that Hunter 

may be going over to the “dark 

side” as well. He is attending his 

first DE event this weekend and 

sharing his dad’s car. 

Besides driving, Chuck’s other 

hobbies include golf and old 

muscle cars. Please join me in 

welcoming Chuck and his family 

to my “other” 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 Trinity Pub 

by Chris Christensen 

Over thirty Mavericks came out 

to celebrate Happy Hour at the 

Trinity 

Pub, located at 

Mockingbird 

Station. We hope 

everyone had a good 

time with plenty of 

good food and drink. There seemed 

to be adequate parking available in 

the two covered garages that were 

protecting our valuable assets! 

The Trinity management provided a 

nice touch with adding welcome signs 

at our location written in English and 

Gaelic. Failte written on the signs is 

Gaelic and interpreted as meaning 

welcome, we presume…and I believe 

we all felt very welcome. 

The Pub does offer a decidedly Irish 

feel, sort of like visiting an overly large library that sells 

spirits and food - not a bad idea come to think of it, but 

we don’t think our City Council would approve. We had a 

large crowd, so some folks volunteered to move to an outside 

table, although there was room elsewhere inside. For those 

who sat outside, it was not too hot-maybe due to an earlier 

shower that helped cool the night air. 

We had a few new PCA members join us at Happy Hour this 

month, they were Margaret and Nicholas Klemmer, both we 

understand 

drive 911’s. 

They have 

recently 

moved from 

Raleigh, 

N . C . 

Welcome 

to you and 

your family. 

Also Patti 

Larry & Patti having fun with other Mavericks! 

and Larry 

Pettit joined 

in the fun, 

they own a 911 Turbo S…they might be the early birds at all 

future HH’s. Congratulations, and we hope to see all of you 

at Happy Hours and other upcoming Maverick events. In 

addition, this writer’s Son-in-Law, Mark Deuber, joined in 

the fun. He drives a 911 and our daughter a new Panamera. 

Hey, we’re looking to be adopted. Also at the Happy Hour

was a representative from Park Place Porsche, Jeff Van 

Sicklen. Jeff joined us at Roundup, as well, sporting a new

job, Jeff - this time 

he drove a yellow

Jeff, we enjoy 

your company and 

beautiful Porsche 

rides. 

By the way, eating 

out on the balcony 

had one significant 

advantage... 

listening to the 

wonderful sound 

of Porsches leaving 

for the evening. It 

reminded us, in a 

distant sort of way, 

of last year’s Parade, with the echo of many Porsches in 

the valley between the glorious mountains and splendor of

Keystone, Colorado. Okay, so we’re reaching a bit…with a 

strange imagination. But sounds good, huh? 

Come and enjoy an evening with us next month! 

We do hope that we will have a good turn-out at next 

month’s happy hour on October 21st. We have been moving 

locations so that almost everyone will have a turn at driving 

a bit less to our monthly HH venues. In October, Happy 

Hour will be at Uncle Julio’s, 16150 Dallas Parkway, Dallas, 

TX. There may be a surprise from one of our decorated 

drivers from the 1980’s. 

See you all there.

remembrance of the nine

We have not forgotten! But 

after that somber note, the 

festivities began with a quick but informative 

driver’s meeting. With only 24 entrants (13 of 

those being P-car drivers) Mike Lockas, Chief 

of Workers, had a difficult time filling jobs 

with drivers. Once this task was overcome, 

James and Mark Wilkinson announced that Jim Hedderick stopped by Mineral Wells on his way home from out of state.

The day ended early for many of the participants only 

hot dogs, chips, and tea for all in preparation for our 

to start the task of setting out the cones for the autocross 

lunch break. It was an excellent lunch as proved by the 

course for some of the others. This course was originally 

designed by Josh Dexter, a driver new to autocross only 

this year. His experience has been limited to only the Time 

Trial and Autocross schools and a couple events. Despite 

his inexperience, he submitted a course that I believe 

many participants would use adjectives such as innovative, 

inspired, and “technical without the sea of cones syndrome” 

to describe the design. Unfortunately, we could not use the 

entire course due to the limitation of only a few available 

corner workers per shift. But it still turned out to the one of 

the longest in terms of time on the course. With 12 runs for 

the day everyone was pretty “driven out.” 

Josh Dexter gets really close to a cone.... wait!! Is that lifting I 

see? Better check the car for cone evidence.

Onto the driving; and there was a lot of driving with only 

24 drivers. The action was free of drama 

with few spins and fewer mechanical 

problems. The results showed that Ray 

Kelley has not lessened his game while 

capturing the Porsche Top Time of the 

Day. However, the second fastest Porsche 

driver may or may not surprise you. I 

only hope I can drive that well at 70+ 

years old. Well done, Richard Diller! 

Michael Pelletier rounded out the top 

three but more on him later. Of course, 

great credit has to go to the duel that Paul 

Looking at the results I think you will be pleasantly 

surprised that with the performance factor of the car taken 

into consideration, Avery Murphy was the #1 Driver of the 

Day. Of course, Ray Kelley was close behind with Mike 

Lockas in third. Just a note on Mike, notice how consistent 

he is in his times as well as placing in the top 5; truly a great 

driver and instructor. However, the superstar of the day was 

Michael Pelletier with fastest Porsche Driver of the Day. 

We won’t mention that David Whitener in his CRX earned 

the Top Time of Day award. 

Since I got to 

write an article 

for this event, 

I guess I ought 

to tell my wife

and my story 

of car issues.

female that she is, so Tannia graciously allowed me to drive 

her newly purchased Boxster (1998 986) for the weekend. 

All is fine until the technical inspector (me) noticed that the 

rear pads were slim. Needless to say, we wore out those rear 

pads during the Time Trial. As Tannia searched for another 

pair, Michael Pelletier volunteered to ask Chris Amond for 

a pair. Chris happened to have a set and donated them to 

Tannia and me, all in the name of racing. Thanks Chris! 

Michael delivered the pads Sunday morning. While I have 

changed a few Boxster pads, I could not get the retaining pin 

to slide out. Within minutes of me sweating, grunting, and 

breaking a punch, I had 6 people helping me install those

pads. And they did, thanks guys, all in the name of racing. 

So we were all set for the autocross. The morning runs went 

well, but during the afternoon runs, it is possible that I might 

have overcooked the brake fluid therefore ending the day 

for Tannia’s car. Good thing, since the engine warning light 

was on. So is the lesson learned here that autocrossing will 

break your car? No, I think the lesson is that if the car is not 

adequately maintained, the car will let you know that during 

the autocross. That next weekend I bled the brakes. The 

fluid was cruddy. But I was apprehensive about solving the 

engine warning light. However, I used a code reader, found 

it was misfiring, sought sage advice, and changed the spark 

plugs. I didn’t even know where the spark plugs were on a 

Boxster before starting this project. In the end, I removed a 

broken spark plug and replaced the rest resulting in no more 

warning light and a car purring like it should. 

So if you have made it to this point, I commend your 

perseverance. You should be asking: “Jeff, if you have a 

point to make, make it already!” OK, so here they are: 

1. Tell a friend about Time Trials and Autocrosses., then 

bring them! 

2. Cars won’t break on an autocross unless they were
