Drifting<br />
John Hamilton, President<br />
Savannah here we come! That’s our<br />
cry as 29 Maverick Region cars<br />
head for Savannah, Georgia, to<br />
attend the 56th annual Porsche Parade<br />
(yours truly among them). Hopefully<br />
you’ve read one of the many articles here<br />
in <strong>Slipstream</strong> about all the fun events at a<br />
Porsche Parade, but I’m here to tell you<br />
“it’s not [just] the destination; it’s the journey!”<br />
Each of the previous two years we caravaned to the<br />
Porsche Parade (first in Keystone, CO, then in St. Charles,<br />
IL) with three other couples. How did we decide who we<br />
were going with? Only by meeting people at our Happy<br />
Hours who had similar interests and thoughts of going to<br />
Parade. Those thoughts turned into actions as we started to<br />
commit ourselves to going. One couple volunteered to have<br />
a planning meeting at their house and then each of the rest<br />
of us took roles: route selection, roadside hotel selections,<br />
printed calendar of events. By the time of our first planning<br />
meeting, we were well-organized and all we really had to<br />
do was select our activities at Parade and decide if we were<br />
going to take two or three days to get there (we compromised:<br />
three days going and two days coming home). Note: these<br />
discussions took place in January and February so we were<br />
all ready to select activities when registration opened in<br />
March.<br />
One of the things that worked out well<br />
for us was that we agreed to take three<br />
days to drive there. That meant we<br />
were only on the road for about five or<br />
six hours a day, which meant we could<br />
stop as often and wherever anyone<br />
wanted. This left plenty of time for<br />
sight-seeing and breaks. We visited<br />
the Valley of the Gods on our way to<br />
Colorado, and toured the Arch in St.<br />
Louis as examples of each of our trips.<br />
But the greatest outcome of all didn’t<br />
turn out to be the Porsche Parade or<br />
just the trip and tours. It was (and is)<br />
the true friendships that we developed<br />
with four other couples as a result of<br />
our now shared memories that will live<br />
with us forever. So if you see me and<br />
my wife, Chris, clustering at Happy<br />
Hours with three or four other couples,<br />
please understand: we’re just there reliving<br />
those great memories and friendships to which we<br />
will add at this year’s and many future Porsche Parades.<br />
Savannah here we come!<br />
So once again our Alan Bambina is proven correct with his<br />
famous words: “It’s not just the cars, it’s the People!”<br />
Mav of the Month:<br />
Our Mav of the month for June is our fabulous Autocross<br />
Chair: Tannia Dobbins. She continues to drive the program<br />
with new activities and locations, to meet the needs of<br />
our autocross enthusiasts<br />
and wanna-be’s. She was<br />
instrumental in finding a<br />
new location for our spring<br />
Autocross Academy at the<br />
Ball Park in Arlington, after<br />
Pennington Field in Bedford<br />
became unavailable. The “Get<br />
a Grip Autocross Academy”<br />
held in April was a blast! (if<br />
you couldn’t be there, read<br />
all about it in last month’s<br />
<strong>Slipstream</strong> on page 28).<br />
So for her leadership in getting<br />
a new location for our “Get a<br />
Grip Autocross Academy,” and<br />
for the work she does driving all<br />
the other Autocross events<br />
during the year, we award Mav<br />
of the Month and a gift<br />
certificate to the Silver Fox<br />
restaurant to Tannia!<br />

HOPE is Not a Dream<br />
Chris Hamilton, Hope Chair<br />
HOPE is not a dream, but a way<br />
of making dreams become<br />
reality and that’s exactly why the<br />
Mavericks continue to give to HOPE, Inc.<br />
The following<br />
is the mission<br />
statement of HOPE,<br />
Inc.: “HOPE exists<br />
to eliminate domestic violence<br />
through intervention, offering<br />
shelter, counseling, support, and<br />
education to promote the healing of<br />
abusive relationships.” It has proudly<br />
served the people of Palo Pinto,<br />
Parker, Erath and Hood counties<br />
since its conception in 1983. Hope<br />
is a non-profit organization governed<br />
by a volunteer board and is staffed<br />
with trained professionals. Hope is a United Way member<br />
agency.<br />
The Maverick members have been generous with cash<br />
donations and Wal-Mart Gift Cards for the holiday party<br />
and other essentials for the shelter throughout the year. The<br />
shelter calls us and we help them with the basic needs: paper<br />
towels, tissues, razors, shampoo, conditioner and more, and<br />
they leave a message asking “is this asking too much?”<br />
We help them out with things as<br />
simple as games to entertain the<br />
children while their mothers checkin.<br />
Clara Lewis continues to make<br />
beautiful travel bags filled with the<br />
essentials to make them feel better<br />
when they first arrive.<br />
Oh, the things that we take<br />
for granted day in and day out.<br />
Please continue to give to this<br />
very appreciative charity through<br />
the donation can at Happy Hours,<br />
Wal-Mart gift cards and money<br />
for the holidays, and new/used clothing delivered by Chris<br />
Hamilton or Clara Lewis.<br />
It’s never too late to give with your heart to a worthy cause.<br />
If you’d like to donate at any time, please call Chris Hamilton<br />
at 817-421-7486.<br />

Richard Bradley, Managing Editor<br />
Is it really the middle of the year?!!<br />
It’s way too HOT!<br />
Well, I’m proud to announce that my<br />
daughter, Amanda, will be working by my<br />
side this summer as our <strong>Slipstream</strong> Intern.<br />
I’m looking forward to seeing how she<br />
grows and develops our newsletter as we<br />
prepare for our 50th Anniversary. She has already attended<br />
several events and has been pleasantly surprised to find out<br />
that she really loves driving a Porsche. Of course, I knew<br />
she would!<br />
This is also the time to register for this year’s Parade if you<br />
have been planning on doing so. It promises to be a lot of<br />
fun and if you attend, I look forward to sharing your photos<br />
and experiences with the rest of the club, so take lots of<br />
pictures and write an article... PLEASE!<br />
To all the contributors of this and the many issues I have<br />
behind me, THANK YOU so much for sharing. Without<br />
your input, there’s no way <strong>Slipstream</strong> could be what it is<br />
today. You make the club what it is, so come out and get<br />
involved.<br />
It’s not just the cars, it’s the people...<br />

and thanked everyone for their participation. He described<br />
our ongoing relationship management activities with other<br />
PCA regions, local automobile dealers, and our membership<br />
at large. He then requested updates from the board.<br />
Madhu Rao, (full disclosure that’s me), described an<br />
initiative to survey the entire Maverick Region membership<br />
(that’s you) to gain your feedback on our regional operations<br />
and obtain your suggestions for improvement. He reviewed<br />
the survey goals and format (electronic, 2 pages). He then<br />
described the steps to field the survey to the entire region.<br />
One such step is a pre-survey email communication you<br />
will receive from John Hamilton describing the intent of the<br />
survey. Your feedback is extremely important and will help<br />
ensure we are delivering a great membership experience for<br />
you. On behalf of the board, thank you for your participation.<br />
Madhu also described the upcoming Maverick Region<br />
2012 officer elections. The process steps and timeline will<br />
be presented at the <strong>July</strong> 6th board meeting. Thereafter,<br />
an election committee will be established to manage the<br />
nomination process. If you have any questions please feel<br />
free to contact the election committee or any of the current<br />
officers.<br />
Carey Spreen, our May Maverick of the Month, described<br />
the very successful Saturday rally which was held in May.<br />
Twenty rally participants drove all over north Texas and<br />
ended up at Rancho Sereno, on time. How is that for a<br />
successful event! He acknowledged the contributions of<br />
Linda Bambina and John/BJ Harvey in this regard.<br />
Travis Howard updated the board about the May 21-22 AX/<br />
TT at Mineral Wells. He recognized Wendy Shoffit, who at<br />
the last moment, volunteered onsite to help out. He noted<br />
that an opportunity exists for more instructors to help the<br />
students at the AX/TT events. If this sounds like something<br />
you would be interested in please contact Travis at tt@<br />
mavpca.org or Tannia Dobbins at ax@mavpca.org. The<br />
board brainstormed about holding specialty AX/TT events<br />
(e.g., ladies only, Sunday Drive Tours). Full disclosure: I<br />
was caught up in the moment and may even dip my ‘heel<br />
and toe’ into this event. Watch out cones, here I come!<br />
Robyn Howard noted that a swap meet is planned for<br />
October 1. These are great opportunities to get stuff for<br />
your Porsche! Stay tuned for more details.<br />
Ed Mullenix discussed holding a Tech Session in late Q3 or<br />
Q4, <strong>2011</strong>. These are great opportunities to learn more about<br />
your Porsche! Stay tuned for details.<br />
Fresh from a well-deserved vacation (after tax season) our<br />
treasurer, Jim Falgout, reported that our financial condition<br />
continues to be healthy.<br />
Mike Brodigan noted that we are halfway through Drivers’<br />
Education season. He noted that attendance was strong at<br />
the May Drivers’ Education event with over 100 participants<br />
(drivers, volunteers, and instructors). Mike also noted that<br />
reception to the <strong>2011</strong> Drivers’ Education incentive continues<br />
to be positive. Yellow level drivers receive a 1 free event<br />
after 4 and white level receives 1 free event after 3 events.<br />
If you have an interest in Drivers’ Education events or just<br />
want to volunteer as an instructor or helper please contact<br />
Mike at DE@mavpca.org.<br />
Wendy Shoffit noted that the Maverick Region directories<br />
have been printed. You can order a copy for $5 at www.<br />
clubregistration.net.<br />
As expected, the Concours team presented a ‘detailed’<br />
update. Frank Briggs noted that the May at Mayo’s Concours<br />
event was very successful with over 80 members and guests.<br />
Jack Griffin also described the upcoming Autos in the Park<br />
event at the Cooper Clinic on June 5th. Good luck to all<br />
who enter. Here’s hoping that we Mavericks earn a ‘clean’<br />
sweep of all medals. Don’t you think my word choice above<br />
is very punny?<br />
Pat Friend said he really enjoyed the May Saturday drive<br />
in his new 996. He brought several new Maverick Region<br />
badges to the meeting. Lisa Steele will be distributing<br />
these to our members along with some related membership<br />
information.<br />
Chris Christensen noted that recent Happy Hours continue<br />
to be well attended and the new format involving several<br />
couples hosting/coordinating these events is working well.<br />
If you have an interest in hosting/coordinating a Happy<br />
Hour please contact Chris at vp@mavpca.org.<br />
Mike Ferrar has been enthusiastically attending our board<br />
meetings and volunteering at various events since November<br />
2010. Thanks Mike! On behalf of the board, we always<br />
welcome your interest in volunteering on behalf of our<br />
region. Please let any board member know your interests<br />
and they’ll take it from there.<br />

John Harvey recapped the recent May Saturday driving<br />
tour. A total of 89 people participated in the drive. He noted<br />
that there were several new attendees and that one couple<br />
drove all the way from Ohio just to join us at this event. He<br />
updated everyone on some potential drive locations for the<br />
September time frame. Stay tuned for details on these.<br />
Richard Bradley is the managing editor of <strong>Slipstream</strong>.<br />
Richard and Pat Friend acknowledged the support of our<br />
advertising sponsors and discussed some new tactics to<br />

Maverick Moments. Our Maverick of the Month is<br />
Tannia Dobbins. She is a real trooper and has a multi-hour<br />
commute to our AX/TT events in the DFW metroplex. She<br />
and the volunteer team at these events are always willing to<br />
go the ‘extra mile’ for you. Congratulations Tannia! You<br />
deserve it!<br />
Meeting adjourned at 8:05 pm.<br />

Autos in the Park<br />
By Linda Bambina<br />
Sunday, June 5th was hot-hot-hot, but 23 Porsches<br />
looked oh-so-cool under the canopy of huge oaks at<br />
the Cooper Institute in Dallas. Thanks to Jack Griffin<br />
(for our primo location), Frank Briggs (our Concoursmeister),<br />
and Pat<br />
Friend (our Boardwalk<br />
Prizes procurer<br />
extraordinaire), it<br />
was an extremely<br />
successful occasion.<br />
This is the 6th year<br />
for the Cooper<br />
Aerobics Institute to<br />
sponsor this charitable<br />
(Texas Scottish Rite<br />
Hospital) event,<br />
and the Maverick Region has supported it with growing<br />
enthusiasm. Hoping to get brand new members and make<br />
connections with members who rarely participate in Mavscheduled<br />
activities, yours truly visited with many, many<br />
folks who were cruising thru the vast displays<br />
of historic vehicles, foreign and domestic, as<br />
well as Garage Queens and road racers of many<br />
marques. I met a current new member who was<br />
attending his very first event. While only 31, he<br />
has had “a good year”…and so was the owner of<br />
two amazing Porsches: 2009 Cayman GTS AND a<br />
newly acquired ’07 GT3 RS! Steve Harrison: we<br />
need to see more of you! I also met another “big<br />
kid”…Brian Bell. No, not our Bryan Bell. This<br />

other fellow works for Boardwalk and has some “magic<br />
fingers” in the mechanical realm. Now if he can just find<br />
the right First Porsche, he’ll join in a millisecond!<br />
Speaking again of Boardwalk, a huge Thank You goes<br />
out to them for Grand Prizes all-‘round for our Winners:<br />
Best of Show: Mike Harling ’58 356 Speedster; Rich<br />
O’Day -914; Steve Cole and Alan Bambina-tied for 964<br />
class; Bob Aines-911; Michael Sherman -997; & Tom<br />
and Susan Froehlich-with the Boxster that he bought at<br />
last year’s RoundUp!<br />

Father’s Day at SpeedZone<br />
By Amanda Bradley<br />
First off, I would like to introduce<br />
myself. I’m Amanda Bradley, the<br />
summer intern for <strong>Slipstream</strong>, and<br />
<strong>Slipstream</strong>’s editor, Richard Bradley’s,<br />
daughter. I am a senior at Oklahoma State<br />
University majoring in communications. I<br />
have never really taken an interest in the<br />
PCA before, but have very much enjoyed<br />
my part in it the last month from board meetings and car<br />
shows to time trials and the Father’s Day event at SpeedZone,<br />
as well as getting to know many of the members at each<br />
event.<br />
After spending a week learning to drive a stick and going<br />
through my first Time Trial, I was ready to kick butt (most<br />
importantly my brother’s) at SpeedZone. Though driving<br />
go-karts around a little track is nothing compared to Time<br />
Trials and Autocrosses, it was a ton of fun for everyone<br />
Photos by Amanda Bradley & Lisa Steele<br />
involved. Mike Brodigan and I had a competition going on<br />
throughout the day and I’m proud to say I beat him! He<br />
blamed it on a weight advantage, but I like to think my Time<br />
Trial skills paid off (thank you Tannia Dobbins for teaching<br />
me!) I am looking forward to the next Time Trial event in<br />
September so I can practice more.<br />
The highlight of my day at SpeedZone was my sibling<br />
rivalry. My little brother, Ethan, did not want to let me pass<br />
him, but I did, and it caused him to spin out. It was a glorious<br />
moment for a competitive older sister!<br />
Those who attended enjoyed a nice “tail gate style” lunch<br />
that included burgers, hotdogs, chicken sandwiches, cookies,<br />
and refreshing lemonade and cokes. We all took part in the<br />
races on the tracks, and some of us even played the arcade<br />
games. It was a fun way to unleash our competitive driving<br />
and still have good old-fashioned fun.<br />
SpeedZone was a lot of fun for everyone who attended, but<br />
let’s not forget the reason we were there – Father’s Day. For<br />
all the fathers in the PCA, thank you for being a part of our<br />
lives and loving us through everything, even scratched cars.<br />
It means the world to us.<br />
Roger and Thomas Briggs share a<br />
good father/son afternoon...<br />
Come out and enjoy the fun!<br />

Cliff’s Ramblings<br />
By Cliff Blackshear<br />
I<br />
worked at a Porsche dealer in Boulder,<br />
Colorado, from 1974 to 1983. I worked<br />
at three more here in the DFW area<br />
until I found a home where I am at now.<br />
At each one, really weird events occurred<br />
that were very unexpected.<br />
In Boulder, we once had a car disappear.<br />
I came to work in the a.m. and it was<br />
missing from inside the workshop where it had been parked.<br />
It was a near new 911SC. Ultimately, we found that thieves<br />
had expertly cut out a window in the overhead door, crawled<br />
inside, cut off the lock and opened the door. Then swept up<br />
dust from sawing on the door and put the window back in<br />
place. Thus night patrol security saw nothing unusual when<br />
they cruised by. The car was never recovered.<br />
Here in the DFW area we once had a customer come in<br />
looking at new 944’s. The salesman took him for a drive.<br />
While testing the car, the prospective buyer pulls a gun,<br />
and handcuffs the salesman to the steering wheel and says<br />
“Drive where I tell you to go.” They cruise out Loop 820<br />
on the west side of town. The sales guy is told, “Pull over<br />
on the shoulder, yer time is up.” Next, his handcuffs are<br />
removed and he is told to get out. He gets out and the thief<br />
moves towards the front of the car. The salesman takes off<br />
running behind the car and jumps off the siding and rolls<br />
down the embankment. The thief drives away. I saw the<br />
poor sales associate when he came into the dealership after<br />
it happened. Poor guy was really shaken up. Police reported<br />
that a motorcycle officer performing radar on 820 watched<br />
a white Porsche go by him at over 120 mph and decided to<br />
not give chase, as the speed was too dangerous. The car was<br />
never recovered.<br />
At the same dealer we once had a car stolen from the lot<br />
(I cannot remember now how they got the keys), and it was<br />
recovered. Burned to a crisp. The only 944 I’ve personally<br />
seen that completely burned. It was amazing. When they<br />
stole the car, they simply drove it through our chain link<br />
fence gates by ramming them open. I don’t know what they<br />
accomplished other than maybe a joy ride. Then they set it<br />
on fire and completely destroyed it.<br />
Once we had a brand new 930 stolen. It was found on<br />
the side of I-30 around the Arlington area on the shoulder<br />
(intact and unharmed), with the thief sleeping behind the<br />
wheel. A set of blueprints of our dealership was found in the<br />
back seat area. Very odd. I was never given information as<br />
to what was found out from that point going forward.<br />
At another dealer in Fort Worth, a guy ran into our detail<br />
bay and stole a near new Honda loan car. The detail guy ran<br />
in and explained what had happened. The car was recovered<br />
Weird Things That Happen<br />
with a person shot to death in the passenger seat the next<br />
day.<br />
A couple years ago, my dealer (which has alarm systems,<br />
cameras monitoring the lot, and police cruisers coming by<br />
during the night), had the wheels stolen from a near new<br />
GT3. We found the car sitting with one side jacked up and<br />
one side lying on the ground, wheels gone. We now take<br />
an extra measure of packing our shop each night with any<br />
car that has special wheels etc. The wheels were never<br />
recovered, the thieves never caught.<br />
Once (a couple of decades ago), we had a new 911 come<br />
in from factory that a person had special ordered to their<br />
liking. It was sent to valet to fuel the car before delivery to<br />
the excited owner. Valet did not return. Later we get a call<br />
that the car had gone over a fence at about 100 miles an hour<br />
and basically flipped front over rear multiple times (end over<br />
end). It was totaled. The valet decided to joy ride apparently.<br />
The 20 something year old valet walked away unharmed.<br />
Poor guy waiting to take delivery of his new Porsche<br />
ordered another one with some special compensation for<br />
any additional features he wanted.<br />
I was driving a Carrera GT one day a very short distance.<br />
As I approached the intersection of Plano Parkway and the<br />
North/South Tollway, the light was green. I was in the right<br />
hand lane going east and one block from the dealer going<br />
35 mph. A car going north on the access road gets to the<br />
intersection and decides to stick their nose into my lane<br />
approximately 30 feet in front of me. Fortunately for me<br />
no one was in the lane next to me and I avoided collision. I<br />
nearly became one of the stories I do not want to be a part of<br />
when it comes to dealer/workshop bad happenings.<br />
Trying to not early apex in life. Cliff<br />

Red River Rally<br />
By Jerry Sutton<br />
Gosh, I haven’t written a <strong>Slipstream</strong> article in over<br />
two decades. At least I don’t remember writing<br />
any during that time. So maybe it’s my turn again.<br />
Here goes...<br />
When I saw the announcement for the Red River Derby<br />
Tour and Gimmick Rally I marked it for follow-up. Myra<br />
noticed the announcement in her own email and told me<br />
she wanted to participate in the tour. So I sent our Tour<br />
Meister an email. I was in<br />
trouble when Myra said<br />
we should do the rally<br />
instead of the tour in order<br />
to practice for Parade.<br />
We intended to get<br />
an early start towards<br />
McKinney on May 14th,<br />
but our intentions to start<br />
early failed, ... something<br />
to do with aging I guess.<br />
We got to the Westgate<br />
Shopping Center parking<br />
lot in time. We were<br />
delighted to see a sea of<br />
Porsches; we had 46 cars<br />
total for the tour and rally.<br />
At the end of the day twenty cars were scored in the rally.<br />
I understand twenty cars started the rally ... Yay, we didn’t<br />
lose a one!<br />
Carey had prepared a gimmick rally with a small taste of a<br />
TSD (Time-Speed-Distance) rally thrown in. Other than an<br />
overall minimum/maximum time limit, time and speed were<br />
not a part of scoring and deviation from the ideal distance was<br />
used only as a tiebreaker. The instructions Carey provided<br />
were written in the style of a full-scale TSD event: General<br />
instructions with a supplemental glossary for “ONTO”<br />
and “LINED ROAD”, route following priorities, valid and<br />
invalid rally road definitions, and so forth; numbered route<br />
instructions utilizing the PCR (Parade Competition Rules)<br />
Rally Glossary (which was included in our event packet)<br />
along with the supplemental glossary terms.<br />
We were following route instructions without any specified<br />
speed, elapsed time, or elapsed distance (which would be<br />
specified for a TSD type event). Carey provided instructions<br />
designed to not trick us into being off course, when most<br />
rally instructors would do the opposite. The spirit of<br />
PCR’s requires rally masters to “loop” such “traps” so that<br />
inexperienced rallyists are automatically brought back<br />
onto the course, but their score will be penalized in that<br />
their arrival time at the next checkpoint will be off. Carey<br />
followed this guideline as several people went off course.<br />
16<br />
The objective of the rally was to find signs with partial quotes<br />
on the answer sheet and fill in the missing words. There were<br />
fifteen such signs that we encountered in the order listed<br />
along the route. In addition we were to look for cemeteries<br />
(or signs indicating cemeteries) from the end of the odometer<br />
check leg to the end of the numbered route instructions;<br />
there turned out to be six of these. In the end it was one<br />
of these that caused us to take third place instead of first -<br />
Carey tells me<br />
the sign was<br />
edge on at a T<br />
intersection.<br />
After arriving<br />
at the tour/rally<br />
destination<br />
“Rancho<br />
Sereno” in<br />
Whitesboro<br />
we turned in<br />
our answer<br />
sheets to Carey.<br />
After dinner<br />
we learned<br />
the following<br />
trophy results:<br />
Place - Driver/Navigator - #Correct - Mileage Error<br />
First: - George Luxbacher/Ethan Strong - 21 - 0.29<br />
Second: - Gary White/Vanessa White - 21 - 1.20<br />
Third: - Myra Sutton/Jerry Sutton - 20 - 0.09<br />
Oh, hey, that’s us. Too bad we were not off another .02<br />
mile. If we had been, Mike and Emily De Jong would have<br />
taken third and I would not have to find room for yet another<br />
pair of PCA trophies.<br />
A special thanks to our hosts, former Maverick Region<br />
members and Rancho Sereno owners, Mike & Lisa Maberry,<br />
for welcoming an abundance of Maverick folks with a great<br />
barbecue dinner. A very deserving hand especially goes out<br />
to John & B J (Tour Meisters) Harvey, Carey Spreen (Rally<br />
Meister), along with their helpers; Brendan Eagan, Mahdu<br />
Rao, Dee Luxbacher, Linda Bambina and Jasmine Shoffit<br />
for putting together a fun filled day and a good excuse to<br />
drive our Porsches and be with friends.<br />
Hopefully, none of you will read this all the way through,<br />
especially not potential employers. In keeping with my<br />
desire to maintain a very low social media profile, any future<br />
articles I write will require use of a pseudonym.<br />
and the winner is...

it will assemble the wide variety of Porsche’s most<br />
historic racing models from the nimble 550 Spyder of<br />
the mid-fifties through the mighty 917 and 956/962 of<br />
the seventies and eighties to the highly successful RS<br />
Spyder of the last decade. Special tribute will be paid<br />
to the numerous racing versions of the Porsche 911<br />
and their countless victories on the dawn of what will<br />
become another milestone of this iconic sports car.<br />
The Porsche Club of America is honored to assist<br />
the Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV with several<br />
activities: History of the Porsche 911 Display, Porsche<br />
Model-Specific Parking Corrals with Parade laps of<br />

Cup Cars and PCA Club Racing for PCA race cars, and<br />
PCA Volunteer Pool—workers to assist with the club’s<br />
involvement. Enhancing the Rennsport Reunion Cup<br />
race, Michelin Tire Company comes on board as the<br />
spec tire manufacturer for that exciting contest.<br />
We are looking for exceptional examples of<br />
Porsche 911 production models for the History of the<br />
Porsche 911 Display at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca<br />
during the event. It will be a display representing the<br />
911 model throughout its generational life. Please<br />
contact Tom Provasi for information and registration<br />
at tprovasi@netgate.net or 408/947-0980.<br />
PCA members will be invited to use a terrific PCA<br />

Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) and Porsche<br />
Race Car Classic (PRCC) have announced that the<br />
organizations have coordinated their event activities to<br />
allow all Porsche enthusiasts to take full advantage of<br />
what will be an unprecedented celebration of Porsche’s<br />
rich motorsport history around the Monterey Peninsula<br />
over the third weekend in October. The early run<br />
groups (1 and 2) of Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV<br />
will conclude their racing activities at Mazda Raceway<br />
Laguna Seca on Saturday, October 15, so that they may<br />
fully participate in the PRCC activities at Quail Lodge<br />
on the following day upon invitation.<br />
The Porsche Race Car Classic, a gathering of significant<br />
race cars from Porsche’s break-out era of<br />
1950-1965, will take place on Sunday, October 16, at<br />
the Quail Lodge in Carmel. Event producer Steve<br />
Heinrichs is pulling out all the stops to bring rarelyseen<br />
race cars out of private collections and museums<br />
and into the light of day on the grassy fields at Quail.<br />

Happy Hour - Ruggeri’s Italian Kitchen<br />
Column & Photos By Frank Briggs<br />
June 16th was a great day if you<br />
happened to be a Maverick (the<br />
Porsche kind or the basketball kind.)<br />
For those that won the<br />
NBA Championship<br />
there was a great parade<br />
and celebration at the<br />
American Airlines<br />
Center. For those who love all things<br />
Porsche, there was a well attended Happy<br />
Hour at Ruggeri’s Italian Kitchen in North<br />
Dallas. The venue was great with first class<br />
service and food as well as a beautifully<br />
appointed bar and dining room. Our host<br />
was Mike Farrar who not only owns<br />
Ruggeri’s, but is a fellow Maverick Region<br />
PCA member.<br />
In all, 33 Mavericks braved 101 degree temperatures<br />
thru rush hour traffic for a chance to wine and dine with<br />
their extended<br />
Porsche family.<br />
Not only were<br />
immediate past<br />
president Mike<br />
Brodigan and<br />
his lovely wife<br />
Judy present,<br />
but our current<br />
leader John<br />
Now this is where the rubber meets the road, Hamilton and<br />
or should we say the food meets the palate? his lovely Chris<br />
were there<br />
to welcome “us regulars” as well as several who were<br />
attending one of their first Maverick events. Some of our<br />
newest attendees included Anne Scheuerle, Pat Jones, Scott<br />
Boyd and Renee Farinella.<br />
“A day for all Mavericks”<br />
If you have not had the pleasure of attending our “third<br />
Thursday night of the month” Happy Hours, please join us<br />
Judy, Chris, B.J. & Lisa are one of the greatest welcoming committees we have!<br />
on <strong>July</strong> 21st when we will be at Uncle Bucks in Grapevine.<br />
I can’t promise cool weather, but I can promise warm smiles<br />
and handshakes.<br />

Time Trial People Are All Winners!<br />
By Mitch Williams<br />
Have you ever been to a Maverick Time Trial event?<br />
How about a Maverick Autocross? If you have<br />
been a regular attendee, then what I would like to<br />
share will be familiar. If not, then read on and see some of<br />
what you’ve been missing.<br />
Time Trial #4 took place on a hot Texas June day at Mineral<br />
Wells Airpark. We don’t run during <strong>July</strong> and August to avoid<br />
the heat. June is normally cooler than it was last June 11.<br />
But those of us addicted to driving our cars at the limit will<br />
put up with a lot to get more seat time. And you get LOTS<br />
of seat time at a Maverick event. If you have a Porsche, you<br />
should really enjoy these events…considering you have a<br />
car DESIGNED for just such fun. You can learn more about<br />
just how well designed your car is for handling.<br />
Even though our turn-out was low, our leader, Travis,<br />
managed to run the event and make it a very good one. I<br />
believe everyone had a great time. Our <strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor<br />
Richard Bradley’s young daughter, Amanda, got her feet<br />
wet in her first driving event. It was great to see her start<br />
very slow, but steadily improve to where she looked like<br />
she was driving pretty good at the end. Being in Daddy’s<br />
great Boxster helped a lot, I’m sure. Mike Lockas was<br />
back after getting his transaxle fixed…and turning great<br />
times. Chuck McCoy did well, as did Travis and Robyn<br />
Howard, Tannia Dobbins, Richard Diller, and quite a few<br />
other regulars. But the big story is that Ray Kelly in his red<br />
1985 911 Carrera saved the day. There was a Lotus at this<br />
event. Now when you take a slot-car and a very talented<br />
driver named Nathan, you get some very fast times. Ray<br />
concentrated on his driving and got Top Time of the Day in<br />
his last run set. The Lotus is going to do some suspension<br />
work and be back…so the battle will continue. I hope<br />
everyone can come out and cheer Ray on to victory again.<br />
This shows you one of the best parts of the Time Trial and<br />
Autocross events: diversity. Yes, there are non-Porsches<br />
out there. Some of them are very fast. All of their drivers<br />
are great people just like any other Maverick Region<br />
member. I enjoy my Mav friends and the new friends I meet<br />
at every event. It is a mini-social event. Everyone catches<br />
up on what the others have been doing. Like a happy hour<br />
in the sunshine around a lot of beautiful cars. Anyone new<br />
coming out, just strike up a conversation and see what I<br />
mean. Sometimes, you almost forget you came out there to<br />
drive. Find someone else with a model like yours and find<br />
out what they’ve done and how they drive their beautiful<br />
machine to the limit.<br />
I had the opportunity at this event to relearn a couple<br />
of things that I learned long ago. Let me share them with<br />
you. First I have a fresh engine in my car and it’s creating<br />
about 60 hp less than the previous engine. So, I relearned to<br />
concentrate on carrying as much speed as possible through<br />
the corners. I also was downshifting more and really using<br />
26
a lot of rpm. Another club member riding with me thought<br />
it sounded like I had a “lot of bumble-bees” under the hood.<br />
Well, I could easily hear why he thought so, but I had a<br />
blast until the very last session…but even then had a good<br />
experience. I’ll explain in a minute.<br />
Secondly, I rode with a new attendee Oleg Perelet, to help<br />
him learn the course. I knew very well I should check his<br />
car out before hand, but was in too big a hurry to get in his<br />
car so we could run. I got in his car and settled in the nice<br />
aftermarket seats and remarked about them. He said he got<br />
them to keep the factory seats looking new. Good move I<br />
thought. I asked what year 911 and which engine it had.<br />
I heard 2.6L. I asked what tires, he told me street tires by<br />
Kumho. Ok, being new to our events I thought we would<br />
do fine. As he got more and more familiar with the course,<br />
and I encouraged him to go faster, I noticed that the car was<br />
pulling really well. I asked if there were any engine mods…<br />
no, it was stock. When he entered a corner too fast once I<br />
remarked “too hot” to slow him down, but the car turned<br />
beautifully (but of course, it IS a Porsche). I was getting<br />
more puzzled. So when I was outside his car, I looked at<br />
the tires. They were the max summer tires Kumho Estra XS<br />
(think XS = extreme stick). These tires are one of the front<br />
runners for true street tire competition with SCCA (STS<br />
class). They are one of the better ones because they can<br />
tolerate track days very well. Very good choice on his part.<br />
Then I walked around back and saw “Carrera 2”. DUH! I<br />
misheard…it was a 3.6 not a 2.6…that explained a lot. So<br />
I relearned to look over the car before getting into it so I<br />
would know what to expect. I later learned that Oleg used<br />
to have a BMW 2002 and had some driving experience. It<br />
was good to see him now in the “right” German car.<br />
The third lesson was an easy one that I’ve experienced<br />
many, many times. This group is the greatest bunch of<br />
people out there. Helpful is not enough to describe them.<br />
Passionate to help each other is closer. I had a heater hose<br />
burned by an EGR pipe, and lost most of my coolant (yes,<br />
it’s a water-pumper.) So immediately Oleg offered to take<br />
me into town to an auto parts store. There he bombarded<br />
me with options for repair when they didn’t have the special<br />
pre-formed hose I needed. We left with two good fixit<br />
possibilities…the one I used I probably wouldn’t have<br />
thought of on my own. Once we were back, I had a crowd<br />
gathered around my car. As I started to work, I heard “let<br />
me get my tools.” A minute later I had FOUR tool boxes<br />
on the ground in front of the car…all more complete than<br />
the tiny box I had brought. Long story short, with the help<br />
of the PEOPLE at these events, I had a repair done in very<br />
short order and was able to drive home. So as I see almost<br />
every event, the people at these events are passionate to help<br />
others out. They are a clear example of a motto-like saying<br />
I’ve heard ever since I joined our club in 1999: “It’s not just<br />
the cars, it’s the people.”<br />
There won’t be another Time Trial or Autocross event until<br />
September 10 and 11th. But take my advice, and mark your<br />
calendars and plan to come out to Mineral Wells and see<br />
your new friends, and have a great time in your car. My<br />
favorite saying on the driving experience is that it is, “the<br />
most fun you can have with your clothes on”. Hope to see<br />
you there.<br />

The “Other” Driver...<br />
By Pat Silva<br />
So, you enjoyed Wendy Shoffit’s article last month<br />
about bringing your spouse or “Other” to a Maverick<br />
driving event, and you’ve decided to give it a try?<br />
Here’s a brief rundown of what it’s like to plan, pack, prepare<br />
for and participate in a couple of events - an Autocross/<br />
Time Trials weekend and a Drivers’ Ed weekend -- with the<br />
person you love the most, sharing the car you love the most.<br />
First and most importantly, remember whose idea/fault<br />
the whole thing is. If the Other is doing it grudgingly, it’s<br />
because it’s the only way they get to spend time with you<br />
on weekends, and you are very grateful that they are being<br />
such a good sport. If the Other is excited about it, you can’t<br />
believe how lucky you are to have such a supportive and<br />
understanding and fun-loving Other.<br />
Next, you need to pick the event, the weekend, and ensure<br />
that each of you signs up separately. We thought -- oops<br />
-- Al thought -- it might be a good idea to try a Time Trial/<br />
Autocross event, minimizing potential damage to the<br />
vehicle and the relationship. Tannia Dobbins, Lisa Steele<br />
and Wendy Shoffit had been working on me to attend one<br />
of these, with assurances that no experience was necessary,<br />
and that we would have expert instruction available. That’s<br />
all we needed to hear.<br />
Logistics follow - do you drive back and forth each day<br />
and night, get a reservation for Friday and Saturday nights<br />
at the Ritz Carlton - Mineral Wells, or take your chances<br />
on Hotels.com. We chose the Best Western, which turned<br />
out to be a clean and convenient choice. And then there’s<br />
packing for two -- overnight bags, folding chairs, sunscreen,<br />
cooler, laptop (in case someone thinks they’re going to get<br />
any work done during the weekend) and the car stuff, which<br />
depending on your level of dedication, you might be able to<br />
stuff into your Porsche, or you can go nuts and bring a trailer<br />
filled with tools and racing tires.<br />
Saturday morning we arrive, and after HMIC (Head<br />
Mavericks In Charge) determines how many people we have<br />
and who’s driving vs. working corners, things get underway.<br />
As I had a slightly (only very slightly) better time by the<br />
end of the day, I was assured of not losing my standing to a<br />
rookie (after all, I just got promoted to Drivers’ Ed Blue),<br />
and we thoroughly enjoyed the great company of Robyn<br />
and Travis Howard, and our two incredible and patient<br />
instructors, Mike and Ray, at dinner. It was awesome, and a<br />
real highlight of the weekend.<br />
Sunday was a different story. Seems like the Other has<br />
chops, and a fast learning curve. Al proceeded to “get”<br />
autocross and started turning in some pretty respectable<br />
times (read: better than mine). I had to think quickly to try to<br />
regain some standing, so the best I could do was to hand him<br />
the keys just before his run and tell him I thought we might<br />
be a touch low on gas. Unfortunately, the gambit failed, and<br />
he bested my times again. Should this happen to you, you<br />
must prepare to hear a play-by-play of each run during the<br />
long drive home, as well as thoughtful suggestions on where<br />
you might be able to pick up a few seconds the next time.<br />
Still being together by Sunday evening, we considered the<br />
weekend a success, and stepped up to a Drivers’ Ed event<br />
at Eagles Canyon in May. This was Al’s first DE, which<br />
put him in Green group, meaning that we could still share<br />
the same (my) car. You will need a tech inspection (one<br />
tech inspection will cover both drivers). Be sure to let the<br />
mechanic know that there will be two people driving the<br />
car in the current weather conditions at high speeds; you<br />
want to be sure all of your fluids, tires, and parts are up to<br />
the task.<br />
What you will not be able to share is the car same number,<br />
so try to get assigned numbers that are one digit off or<br />
have some other easy way to switch back and forth quickly<br />
between run groups. If you have any questions, I’m sure<br />
Joel Nannis would be happy to enlighten you. He will also<br />
point out that even though it’s close to 100 degrees, your<br />
feeble attempt at using painter’s tape and melting plastic<br />
numbers will not cut it.<br />
28
It’s up to you and your Other if you want to share the same<br />
helmet; if you’re ok with sharing toothbrushes, you probably<br />
won’t mind.<br />
During the drivers’ meeting<br />
the first morning, you’ll get the<br />
run group schedule. Make sure<br />
to confirm where the car will<br />
be parked between runs. You’ll<br />
both be busy attending class and<br />
trying to switch out numbers,<br />
checking tire pressures and keeping<br />
hydrated, and before you know it,<br />
your run group is up again. Here<br />
are a couple of tips we learned the<br />
hard way: 1) make sure each of you<br />
has a separate car key -- it’s easy to<br />
pocket it and walk far away, causing<br />
mild panic if your Other’s run<br />
group has been called to the grid<br />
and there’s only one key between the two of you. 2) Check<br />
your gas gauge after each run. You’ll go through fuel like<br />
bottled water, and filling up a bit more frequently is better<br />
than trying to calculate whether you have enough petrol to<br />
finish your run while a couple of GT3’s are grinning in your<br />
rearview mirror.<br />
And now for the fun stuff: the driving and the people. Al’s<br />
run group was pretty polite, which made learning the track<br />
less stressful. He was soon able to focus on the driving,<br />
and came back from each run with more information about<br />
speed, braking,<br />
apexes, turning, etc.<br />
A natural talker,<br />
I knew he would<br />
be fine after I saw<br />
him connecting<br />
with other drivers,<br />
instructors and<br />
HMICs; he was<br />
experiencing what<br />
makes these DEs so<br />
much fun for me.<br />
Given the run group<br />
schedules, we didn’t<br />
get a lot of time<br />
together during the<br />
day, but bringing a split of Champagne in that cooler ensures<br />
a pleasant debrief in the late afternoon. Dinner with new<br />
and old friends is always something to look forward to.<br />
On the ride home we had plenty to discuss, but most<br />
important was which car he’s thinking of driving if he gets<br />
promoted to Blue anytime soon.<br />
