Maverick Minutes
by Lisa Steele
After taking a month off from
having a Board Meeting, we
certainly had a FULL HOUSE
for our August meeting. The 25 people
present included Bryan Bell, Richard
Bradley, Frank and Bobbie Briggs, Mike
Brodigan, Chris and Ann Christensen,
Jim Falgout, Pat Friend, Tom and Sue
Froehlich, John and BJ Harvey, Travis and Robyn Howard,
Tom and Barbara Minnella, Ed Mullenix, Joel Nannis,
Christy Payne, Madhu Rao, James and Wendy Shoffit,
Carey Spreen, and Lisa Steele. It was nice to see such a
large group even though it did feel like “bring your spouse
to the board meeting” night!
The One and Only Mike Brodigan began the meeting
promptly at 7:00 with the announcement that he has a BIG
ROCK that needs to go to the Hope Shelter. Hopefully,
he can find enough “man power” to get that rock where
it belongs. Next item on Mike’s agenda was that the post
office receipts have been going to Jan Mayo’s address. With
Jan moving on to Colorado, the receipts will now go to our
treasurer Jim Falgout.
Sue Froehlich passed out the schedule of events for
Round-Up 2010 and asked if there were any questions. She
gave a BIG “Thank You” to Barbara & Tom Minnella and
John & BJ Harvey for ALL of their work they have done for
Round Up. Barbara Minnella showed the group some of the
wonderful door prizes. She had gift certificates, cool hats,
and some awesome shirts…lots of GREAT stuff!
Carey Spreen, announced that John Harvey came up with
a nice Tour for Round Up and according the schedule of
events the tour will end at RAC Performance with a tech
talk from Hans.
Joel Nannis reported that we currently have 1,117 members
and 724 affiliated members for a total of 1,891 members of
MAVPCA. He also announced that the September DE at
Motorsport Ranch in now on clubregistration.net.
Jim Falgout says “we have money.”
Chris Christensen reported that the last Happy Hour at
Uncle Bucks had 23 in attendance. The August HH will
be at the Trinity Hall Pub & September’s will be at BJ’s in
Plano.
Frank Briggs has been working on details for the Show
and Shine at Round Up. He will have ballots for people to
fill out including people in the community. With the Show
and Shine being set up on Main Street in Grapevine, the
Porsches are sure to draw a crowd.
Travis Howard reported that the last two Time Trials were
not too bad. The May 23rd TT at MSR had 45 drivers and
the July TT had 35 drivers. Travis is thinking that he would
like to move the second Time Trial due to the heat in July.
The next Time Trial/Autocross is on September 11th – 12th.
Travis also announced that he will be the new “Grid Queen”
at the DE’s… Should we still keep the “queen” part????
Christy Payne had several things to report on…being
Social Chair is a big job! Christy reported that the Father’s
Day event at Speed Zone was well attended with 47 people.
It was a great place to have an event… an air conditioned
room for people to hang out and talk, lots of good food, and
everyone loved driving on the tracks. Christy also reported
on the Porsches and Ponies event at Lone Star Park that had
14 people attendance. The group had an air conditioned room
that was trackside with lots of great food. The big winner
of the day was Trish Christensen winning $219. Way to Go
Trish!!! The next item on Christy’s agenda was Founder’s
Day/Holiday Party. It will be held at The Gaylord Texan on
December 11th. She would like help with gathering items
for the silent auction. Christy also announced that our very
own John Hamilton will be the DJ as well as our Master of
