SAVING MONEY ON GAS.<br />
Okay, now that I’ve got your<br />
attention, let’s talk about how YOU<br />
can save money on gas. As my son said to<br />
me this week: “Dad, you’re frugal!” Okay,<br />
I’ll take that as a compliment.<br />
1. Yes: I shop at the local grocery that<br />
gives me points that save me 10¢ a gallon on gas every time<br />
I fill up.<br />
2. Yes: I use the gas station’s branded MasterCard to<br />
automatically give me a 5% (that’s 20¢ a gallon, friends)<br />
rebate on their gas.<br />
So I’m getting 30¢ off a gallon from the name-brand<br />
PREMIUM gasoline. Even though they are more expensive<br />
on their signs, I’m sure I’m below the volume-dealers, so<br />
I’m happy.<br />
SO.... what are YOU doing to save money on gas??? I hope<br />
it’s NOT:<br />
a. Avoiding going to a Driver’s Ed weekend (you’re kidding,<br />
right!?!)<br />
b. Avoiding a Sunday Drive (NOT an acceptable excuse)<br />
c. Driving your Porsche, except on the weekends (Heaven<br />
forbid!)<br />
So how about using someone else’s gas for a change?<br />
HAVE WE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU!!!<br />
Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 18th, we celebrate Father’s Day (albeit a day<br />
early) at SpeedZone (off I-35E at the Walnut Hill exit) with<br />
family and friends. This<br />
is one of our most popular<br />
events, and it MAY have<br />
something to do with the<br />
FREE TAILGATE PARTY<br />
BUFFET!<br />
Hamburgers, hot dogs,<br />
grilled chicken breasts, the<br />
sides and all the fixins are<br />
on us and start being served<br />
at 11:30 a.m. The party goes<br />
from 11 to 3:30, so don’t<br />
miss out. Dads (and sons,<br />
daughters, moms and other<br />
friends and relatives) have<br />
a BLAST, so bring your<br />
camera so you can keep<br />
memories of all the great<br />
times that will be had (bad grammar, but it gets the point<br />
across).<br />
Did you notice that I’m more sensitive about my grammar?<br />
Heck: I’ve also got to worry about my math! Yes: I’m<br />
corrected: more than 1/3 of the year had gone by last month<br />
(thanks, everyone), and by now, we’re close to 1/2!!! But<br />
we’ve had a great first half of the year and it’s only going to<br />
grow from here.<br />
In case you don’t read until two pages from the end of each<br />
issue, we’re now at 1,919 total membership (as of the May<br />
issue of <strong>Slipstream</strong>) and rapidly approaching 2,000 in the<br />
Maverick Region! This is in no small part due to the efforts<br />
of Joel Nannis, who has led our Membership Committee for<br />
the past TWENTY-SIX YEARS. Well, sometime in the next<br />
twelve months<br />
(approaching<br />
our 50th year)<br />
we will surpass<br />
that magic<br />
2,000 number,<br />
which will be<br />
fantastic! We<br />
are already<br />
one of the<br />
top EIGHT<br />
regions in<br />
the nation in<br />
membership<br />
(did you<br />
realize that?).<br />
We continue to<br />
grow thanks to<br />
all the many volunteers who so unselfishly give of their time<br />
and talents to provide activities and events that appeal to a<br />
2
oad cross-section of members. For us to continue to grow,<br />
we need to continue to have events and activities that appeal<br />
to this diverse group.<br />
C R U I S E<br />
Mav of the Month:<br />
Thus, it is with great pleasure that we award this month’s<br />
Mav. of the Month to Carey Spreen, our Ralleymeister, for<br />
his work on the Red River Derby Tour and Rally.<br />
You may not know this, but four miles of the tour/rally were<br />
under construction (surprise!) just a week before the rally/<br />
tour. So Carey and his friends re-mapped the tour to make<br />
it enjoyable for the participants. Once again, volunteers to<br />
the rescue!<br />
Congrats, Carey, and enjoy your well-deserved dinner for<br />
two at the Silver Fox Steakhouse!<br />
For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver Fox in<br />
Grapevine is giving Carey dinner for two at their award<br />
winning steak house.<br />

If you remember a few months back,<br />
I was trying to catch up to another<br />
Porsche in traffic in the Flower Mound<br />
area. As it turns out, the other day I was<br />
sitting at a traffic light and noticed that<br />
same car in my rear view mirror. As the<br />
light turned green, I was still on the phone<br />
and unfortunately he was able to sprint<br />
around me while I was hanging up. Upon catching him at<br />
the next light, I gave him the thumbs up as he looked back at<br />
me with his head out the window. Shouting over the noise,<br />
I heard something about his 500+ horse power... Even with<br />
my extra 90 HP in my 2002 Boxster S, there was no way to<br />
compete with the brute power he was putting down. Who<br />
ever is the owner of this Seal Grey 996 TT, and if you are<br />
a member and reading this, drop me a line, maybe we can<br />
start a breakfast group in our area of town or just hook up<br />
for a drive. There’s always room on the calendar to meet<br />
other enthusiasts living close by.<br />
Make a point to meet someone new this month at one of our<br />
events. If you want something different, come up with an<br />
idea and we can add it to our calendar.<br />
It’s not just the cars, it’s the people...<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />
Madhu Rao<br />
Our May board meeting reviewed<br />
our upcoming Maverick Regional<br />
activities in Q2/Q3 <strong>2011</strong>. Once<br />
again the officers of the organization<br />
would like to thank the committee chairs,<br />
and you, our regional members, for your<br />
support and participation of our club<br />
events.<br />
John Hamilton, our President, opened the meeting at 7pm<br />
and described an outreach program to recruit new members,<br />
and retain existing ones, by offering programs of value to<br />
Maverick Region members. Toward this objective, John<br />
announced the formation of a membership committee to be<br />
led by Lisa Steele. Lisa will be charged with sustaining a<br />
positive ‘on boarding’ experience for new members. Some<br />
of the tactics Lisa will introduce include a welcome letter,<br />
badge ordering process, and tailored communications based<br />
on the needs elicited from our upcoming Maverick Region<br />
membership survey.<br />
Richard Bradley wowed everyone with the ‘exquisite’<br />
capabilities of his new Mac computer. With all of the<br />
artistic activities associated with the Maverick Region 50th<br />
anniversary, Richard, I am sure you’ll be using your Mac<br />
quite a bit. Together, Richard and Pat Friend discussed<br />
a proposal to print <strong>Slipstream</strong> in full-color. Based on an<br />
economic review, Pat recommended that <strong>Slipstream</strong> maintain<br />
its current format (color cover and black & white print). Pat<br />
suggested that a special color insert could be created for<br />
any 50th anniversary activities. The board agreed and will<br />
consider such an option as that for the future.<br />
Ed Mullenix discussed holding a Tech Session on July 9,<br />
<strong>2011</strong>. Stay tuned for details.<br />
Luke Edson described that the equipment used at recent<br />
Drivers’ Education events required a minor refurbishment.<br />
Next, Linda Bambina, Christy Payne, and Lisa Steele<br />
noted that plans are underway for the Maverick Region 50th<br />
Anniversary in 2012. Linda is currently evaluating venues<br />
for a spectacular 50th anniversary photo shoot. Stay tuned<br />
for updates regarding the 50th Anniversary Celebration.<br />
Please make sure your calendars are marked for Founders<br />
Day on November 12th, <strong>2011</strong>. This event reflects the<br />
kick-off for the 2012 50th Anniversary.<br />
Christy Payne reminded us about the upcoming Porsches<br />
and Ponies event to be held July 3rd at Lonestar Park. The<br />
park will present a night time fireworks show. Check the<br />
Maverick Region website or <strong>Slipstream</strong> for future details.<br />
Lisa reiterated the need for new tactics to welcome the<br />
new members to the Maverick Region. She concluded<br />
by reporting that 85 drivers participated in the recent<br />
Drivers’ Education event. Continuing on this subject, more<br />
instructors are needed to handle the increased number of<br />
drivers. If this sounds like you, please contact a board<br />
member for more information.<br />
Fresh from tax season, our treasurer, Jim Falgout reported<br />
that our financial condition is healthy.<br />
Next, Travis Howard described the April 9th-10th<br />
Autocross/Time Trial events at Rangers Stadium. These<br />
were well attended and the venue was challenging. He<br />
described the upcoming May 21-22 driving events at<br />
Mineral Wells. He concluded by describing the need for<br />
new timing equipment in the future.<br />
James Shoffit provided an update about our Maverick<br />
Region directory. Printed copies can be ordered for $5 at<br />
www.clubregistration.net.<br />
BJ and John Harvey described the successful Bluebonnet<br />
Drive in April (>40 drivers) and the May 14th Saturday<br />
drive to Rancho Sereno. BJ updated us about the Maverick<br />
Region Roundup on July 15-17th at Possum Kingdom. Due<br />
to the tragic fire there the event has been postponed until<br />
2012. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by<br />
this tragedy.<br />
Frank Briggs reminded us about the May at Mayo’s<br />
(Performance Shop) event in Euless on May 7th. He<br />
also described the Autos in the Park event on <strong>June</strong> 5th at<br />
the Cooper Aerobic Center in Dallas, Texas. Bring your<br />
Porsche, it will thank you for the workout!<br />
Chris Christensen updated the board about a recent change<br />
to the Happy Hour organizational committee. In addition to<br />
Chris and Ann Christensen, Frank and Bobbie Briggs, Ralph<br />
and Barbara Kauffman, and Doug and Cheryl Koeppen will<br />
be involved in the hosting of Happy Hours and submission<br />
of the event summary to <strong>Slipstream</strong>. Other Maverick<br />
Region members are welcome to host. Please contact Chris<br />
for additional information.<br />
John Hamilton concluded by announcing the May <strong>2011</strong><br />
Maverick of the Month, Carey Spreen. Carey has been<br />
instrumental in creating the “Red River Derby” on May 14th<br />
and has provided numerous years of dedicated service to the<br />
Maverick Region. On behalf of the region, Congratulations!<br />
Maverick Moments. Steven and Karen Salazar are new<br />
Maverick Region members. They joined us at this board<br />
meeting and recently participated in the Bluebonnet Drive<br />
and the Happy Hour at the Wildwood Grill. As I mentioned<br />

Red River Derby - Tour<br />
By Don Sebert<br />
It was a dark and stormy day, but not here. If you hesitated,<br />
contemplated or stressed over the thought of, should I<br />
or should I not take out my Jewel<br />
and didn’t, then you lost out big time.<br />
It was a perfect pre summer day, 70<br />
degrees and sunshine. There were 56<br />
magnificent Porsche jewels along with<br />
89 fast old & new friends to partake in<br />
all the events.<br />
We all met at Westgate Shopping<br />
Center in McKinney and preceded<br />
in two separate groups for a North<br />
Texas Tour and a Gimmick Rally on<br />
two different routes, all ending at<br />
former Maverick members Mike &<br />
Lisa Maberry’s Rancho Sereno by<br />
Whitesboro near the Red River, for a<br />
BBQ dinner. There were 26 cars on<br />
the tour and 20 on the rally. Both were<br />
treated to some unique experiences.<br />
I chose the tour and we started around 1:00 and proceeded<br />
north onto some wonderful winding back road sweepers<br />
and tight turns, while all the time viewing some of the most<br />
pleasant North Texas ranch land I’ve seen (we don’t have that<br />
in Missouri.)<br />
Our tour lasted about 2 ½ hours with a halfway pit stop.<br />
Those with convertibles that didn’t start out with tops down<br />
did so at the<br />
stop. Beautiful<br />
weather and<br />
much to see.<br />
Just a great day<br />
to be out.<br />
When we<br />
arrived at<br />
R a n c h o<br />
Sereno, we<br />
were greeted<br />
by a beautiful<br />
ranch with<br />
lakes, horses<br />
and colts<br />
as well as a<br />
charming Bed<br />
& Breakfast<br />
facility on site and our wonderful hosts Mike & Lisa. We<br />
were immediately treated to wine & drinks.<br />
Thank you John and BJ for a magnificent drive...<br />

We had some good BBQ (for Texas) and visited with<br />
great old and new friends discussing the day’s events. The<br />
amount of new faces was a delight and we hope they will<br />
return for more fun filled events. The Maverick Region<br />
has a multitude of events to pick from that please all.<br />
A special thanks to our hosts, Mike & Lisa Maberry for<br />
welcoming an abundance of Maverick folks and especially<br />
a very deserving hand goes out to John & B J (Tour<br />
Meisters) Harvey, along with their helpers, for putting<br />
together a fun<br />
filled day and<br />
a good excuse<br />
to drive our<br />
Porsches and be<br />
with friends.<br />
Note: Mike Even the Long Horn nodded at our arrival!<br />
and Lisa<br />
Maberry have offered a 20% discount on their Bed &<br />
Breakfast rates to all Maverick PCA members so be<br />
sure to check with them on your next trip to the area.<br />

Cliff’s Ramblings<br />
By Cliff Blackshear<br />
I<br />
have wanted to write something here<br />
about air bag/supplemental restraint<br />
systems for quite some time. Over the<br />
weekend I started looking for information<br />
about air bag deployment speeds, how<br />
they are deployed, and what makes the<br />
systems do what they do. I know that when<br />
the systems were introduced to us Porsche<br />
techs in the mid 80’s we were told a driver’s air bag goes<br />
from no deployment to full deployment to full deflation in<br />
around 280 milliseconds. The entire safety aspect of seat<br />
belts and things like thorax air bags, and side curtain airbags<br />
are something we Porsche techs deal with daily. I have<br />
always found these systems to be very interesting.<br />
Then tonight I’m on my way home in a driving rainstorm.<br />
It was raining so hard at times that traffic on I-35 slowed<br />
to 15-20 mph, folks were driving with their 4 way flashers<br />
on. Something like driving thru a car wash. I exited I-35<br />
and got on I-20. The rain slowed but the water was deep<br />
in places on the road. Just past Hulen exit I’m in the far<br />
left lane and a car about 100 yards in front of me suddenly<br />
changes lanes to the middle lane. About 200 yards further<br />
ahead is a car crashed into the left lane divider.<br />
Vehicle was sitting perpendicular (I mean 90 degrees),<br />
to the flow of traffic. Left shoulder and most of left lane<br />
blocked. I hit the 4 way flashers and the brakes at the same<br />
time while considering changing lanes. Ahead, as I slowed,<br />
I saw a person sitting on the ground with drivers’ door<br />
open and laying against the door sill. Driver was a young<br />
girl wearing shorts, no shoes, tee shirt and sitting in the<br />
rain with her head down between her knees. Jumped out<br />
and asked if she was ok. “I don’t know” she replied. She<br />
was crying, hysterical, and just sitting on the pavement up<br />
against the car between the door and the door sill. Grabbed<br />
for my cell and dialed 911 while looking upstream to see if<br />
we were gonna get run over. Saw 2 more people had stopped<br />
behind me and had their flashers on plus exiting their cars<br />
to render aid.<br />
Explained to 911 operator the location, direction of travel,<br />
lane blockage and current driver situation. Driver was<br />
moving in such a way as to indicate to me that she had no<br />
broken bones. Good head movement, legs, arms, etc. No<br />
bleeding that I could see. I found myself looking at the car<br />
and saw both air bags deployed. Front end heavily damaged.<br />
Next I turned my full attention to her. She was absolutely<br />
hysterical. Crying, had no idea what happened. I thought<br />
of my girls for some reason while all this was transpiring.<br />
Found myself stroking her hair and telling her she was ok,<br />
that her car was not that badly damaged. Trying to calm her<br />
while we waited for EMT. One of the other drivers that had<br />
stopped put a coat over her to help keep her warm. It was<br />
Being Safe On The Road<br />
raining pretty hard.<br />
Police and EMT arrived within minutes of my call. Their<br />
actions were so well rehearsed and dead on to the situation.<br />
An EMT driver made the comment to one of the officers<br />
that he thought she had lost control in a deep puddle about<br />
150 yards upstream of us. I feel certain he was right.<br />
I was told that since I did not actually see the accident that<br />
I was no longer required to stay around. By then I was totally<br />
soaked with the rain and getting cold. I wanted to touch her<br />
and tell her she would be ok, but she was totally surrounded<br />
by some pretty awesome caring emergency people looking<br />
after her immediate needs. So I left and came home.<br />
When she lost control and hit that wall: G forces were<br />
measured, speed and angle of impact were considered,<br />
distance from steering wheel was well calculated, seat belt<br />
pretensioners activated. Her head rotated forward and was<br />
stopped by an inflated device that most likely prevented<br />
a very bad neck injury. She probably has burn marks on<br />
her arms and chest from the impact with the airbag. The<br />
seat belts will have burn marks where they wrap around the<br />
buckle. This is normal for impact situations above 25 mph.<br />
The front of the car has controlled deformation zones<br />
that absorbed energy as the car hit the wall. There was no<br />
damage inside the car from impact as the forward structure<br />
absorbed all the energy.<br />
A G force sensor sent a signal to a control unit<br />
(microprocessor). That unit compared that signal to a<br />
program map and then sent a signal to deploy both the air<br />
bags and to tighten the seat belt to a pre determined tension.<br />
All in a few thousandths of a second. Signals were sent<br />
via gold plated contacts at every connection point. Wiring<br />
completely dedicated to these circuits. A system we test for<br />
readiness every 4 years on all cars.<br />
Plus doors were unlocked, fuel pump was shut off.<br />
That is how the safety systems work.<br />
There are a ton of drivers out there that have no interest in<br />
their car or what it does. It is just an item they need to have,<br />
like a refrigerator or stove. They comply with whatever is<br />
needed to allow them to operate this item in their lives.<br />
Then when driving home one night in the rain this item<br />
keeps them alive and well in an ugly situation. These drivers<br />
simply are carbon units in a machine to me. Until something<br />
like this happens.<br />
I wish I could contact her and make sure she is ok. Yet I<br />
know she is ok. The little Dodge econobox she was driving<br />
did what it was mandated to do by the DOT. What a weird<br />
thing for me to deal with, right when I have been thinking<br />
about safety mandates. Cliff<br />

May at Mayo’s<br />
By Frank Briggs<br />
If you missed the May at Mayo’s<br />
concours and eatathon aka (Babe’s<br />
Fried Chicken) you must put it on<br />
your calendar for next year. With more<br />
than 80 members and guests, it<br />
was possibly one of our<br />
largest gatherings for<br />
this traditional event.<br />
Photo by Frank Briggs and Travis Howard<br />
The weather was great, although the temperature was about<br />
10 degrees above normal. A day like that is very conducive<br />
to bringing out a multitude of beautiful cars. We had almost<br />
every model represented and if you ask me, I would be very<br />
proud to have any of them in my garage. With 9 classes<br />
to award, we enjoyed seeing some very excited owners<br />
recognized by a wonderful round of applause as each trophy<br />
was presented.<br />
One of the best things about such a gathering like this is there<br />
was something for everyone. Lisa Steele did a remarkable<br />
job of having everything from face painting to bird house<br />
painting to pinata striking for the younger set.<br />
It was great fun watching our ten future<br />
P Car owners take swings at the<br />
pinata. Thank you, Lisa, for<br />
doing such a nice job<br />
with our little ones!!!<br />

The event could not have been so well organized<br />
without the oversight of Christy Payne. What a nice<br />
job of making sure that everything went off without a<br />
hitch. There was plenty of food to enjoy, some beautiful<br />
trophies to award and the room (Garage) was set up<br />
very nicely with tables to seat over 100, just in case.<br />
Thank you, Christy, for hosting this fun afternoon and<br />
evening!!!<br />
I would be very remiss if I did not express my gratitude<br />
to Denny Payne for jumping in and staging the cars<br />
for the concours, as<br />
well as Lisa Steele<br />
and Doreen Petri<br />
for tabulating the<br />
winners. Thank you<br />
all for the impromptu<br />
help. Your actions<br />
were the essence of<br />
the word “Volunteer.”<br />
Hats off also to<br />
Wendy and James<br />
Shoffit who’s first Another fun day in the garage...<br />
Ed Mayo’s winning 1972 911 S<br />
words upon arriving were “what can I do to help?” Wow,<br />
what a great club this is.<br />
With Travis Howard and Nathan Hardwick (my 11 year<br />
old grandson and the future owner of a Porsche 993) as<br />
our official photographers, they were able to capture the<br />
event with some pictures I hope you will all enjoy.<br />
A final thank you to Ed Mayo for opening his business<br />
to us once again. This is always a fun venue for the “Car<br />
Guy” in each of us.<br />

ROUND-UP <strong>2011</strong> CANCELLED<br />
By B. J. Harvey<br />
Photo by Pat Canan, WichitaFalls Times Record News<br />
Due to the terrible wildfires in the Possum Kingdom<br />
Lake area, the committee has voted to cancel<br />
this year’s event. The devastation has been quite<br />
terrible, as most of you know, and has included loss of life<br />
and many homes being damaged or destroyed. Optimists<br />
that we are, we will continue planning for the event next<br />
year. The committee is very excited about planning this<br />
fun weekend and are looking forward to it. The agenda for<br />
2012 Round-Up might be as follows:<br />
Friday evening happy hour (cash bar) and check- in at The<br />
Cliffs Resort pool area with options for dinner for those<br />
who can come for the whole weekend. Our committee<br />
members plan to go a little earlier on Friday to try out the<br />
go-cart racing track that is close by.<br />
Saturday events will include check-in with donuts and<br />
coffee available, Show N Shine at the Cliffs Hotel parking<br />
lot, lunch, pontoon boat cruising and water activities;<br />
dinner, awards and a team tech quiz.<br />
Sunday will finish the weekend event with an early<br />
breakfast and Sunday Drive. After the Sunday drive, all<br />
attending are encouraged to stay around and enjoy golf,<br />
tennis, kyacking and other activities available at the Lake.<br />
Hotel/motel accommodations have been checked out and<br />
updated info will be presented when time is nearer to the<br />
July 2012 date.<br />
FYI, cell phone reception in the lake area is spotty.<br />
WATCH FOR INFO ON THIS EVENT TO START<br />
SHOWING UP EARLY NEXT YEAR.<br />

Member Spotlight: Rick and Brooke Herold<br />
Andrea Bell, Public Relations Chair<br />
This month’s new member spotlight<br />
is on Rick and Brooke Herold.<br />
They purchased a 2003 Seal Grey/<br />
Black 911 C4S<br />
coupe about 2<br />
months ago.<br />
Rick said,<br />
“We bought<br />
it because my wife had a BMW<br />
330 coupe when we got married.<br />
It didn’t last long when we<br />
moved out of our condos into a<br />
“fixer upper” and acquired dogs<br />
etc. We both have SUVs. We<br />
thought this is the perfect time to<br />
get a weekend sports car we both<br />
would like. My wife also loves to<br />
drive the C4S. She likes German<br />
cars so much now she traded her<br />
Lexus SUV in on a BMW X5 2<br />
weeks ago.”<br />
Rick and his beautiful wife and best friend, Brooke have<br />
been married almost 5 years. They also have a beautiful<br />
daughter Avery who is nearly 2 years old. Rick has been in<br />
the DFW area for 10 years and grew up in Wichita Falls, TX.<br />
Rick likes to fish on<br />
the coast, hunt quail and<br />
pheasants, exercise, play<br />
golf and cook. He also<br />
enjoys spending time at<br />
the family ranch house<br />
in east Texas. He added,<br />
“My wife would say I’m<br />
now collecting cars as a<br />
hobby/interest now.”<br />
Please look for Rick,<br />
Brooke, and Avery at a<br />
future PCA event and<br />
extend a warm welcome<br />
into our Maverick<br />
family. If you are a new<br />
member and would like<br />
to be considered for our monthly “SPOTLIGHT” feature,<br />
please contact me at pr@mavpca.org.<br />

Happy Hour - BJ’s Brewhouse<br />
By Ralph Kauffman<br />
parking lot.<br />
On a pleasant May evening about 37<br />
Maverick Happy Hour frequenters<br />
congregated at BJ’s Restaurant<br />
and Brewhouse on North<br />
Central Expressway in<br />
Plano. Meanwhile, their<br />
Porsches had their own<br />
happy hour in the back<br />
We had a semi-private area along the north side<br />
of the restaurant, which made for somewhat<br />
close quarters during the cocktail hour. A minor<br />
excitement occurred when a waitress dropped<br />
a full glass of beer, shattering the glass and<br />
spattering beer across the floor. Unfounded<br />
rumor has it that the presence of all the<br />
PCA notables, including Maverick President<br />
John Hamilton, immediate past president Mike Brodigan,<br />
and former international racing great Jack Griffin, made her<br />
nervous. But<br />
no matter,<br />
BJ’s efficient<br />
staff soon<br />
had the mess<br />
cleaned up<br />
and everyone<br />
enjoyed a<br />
very pleasant<br />
dinner.<br />
Some of our favorite ladies...<br />
Clara Lewis, B J Harvey,<br />
Among the<br />
Ann Christensen, and Susan Froelich attendees<br />
were firsttimers<br />
Bud<br />
Heflin (2001 Carrera), Carol and Steve Locke (2007 Silver<br />

Complete your Parade week!<br />
By Cole Scrogham<br />
Parade <strong>2011</strong> in Savannah is coming up quickly…it is almost<br />
time to start packing for the best Parade yet! When Parade<br />
junkies start thinking of the week of fun and excitement<br />
with their Porsche and PCA friends, they begin with the<br />
main events; the Concours on Monday followed by the<br />
Autocross. It can be so easy to focus on those two, as much<br />
fun as they are, that one can overlook the other opportunities<br />
that exist during this action packed week. We have covered<br />
the Autocross and Concours in depth in previous months,<br />
but there is more to a Porsche Parade than just those events,<br />
the Rallies and driving Tours<br />
are also great fun, as is the<br />
challenging Tech Quiz.<br />
The TSD Rally masters this<br />
year have ample roads for<br />
exploration, and regardless<br />
of your experience level they<br />
will have something for you.<br />
Beginners will find stressfree<br />
checkpoint locations,<br />
while more expert rallyists<br />
will be challenged on their<br />
way to single digit scoring<br />
opportunities. All the while,<br />
the countryside will provide<br />
a unique backdrop to enjoy<br />
your Porsche. Remember to<br />
take advantage of the TSD<br />
(Time-Speed-Distance) Rally<br />
school held the day before the<br />
event.<br />
If the TSD Rally is not your<br />
cup of chamomile, try the<br />
lower impact Gimmick Rally<br />
or a Driving Tour. The tours<br />
have been extremely popular<br />
for several years now, and this<br />
year is no different. Due to the<br />
overwhelming demand, additional dates have been added by<br />
our hardworking Parade Staff. Check out the web site below<br />
to see the new dates and see what all the excitement is about.<br />
The last of the “competitive” events is the Parade Technical<br />
and Historical Quiz. In a slightly revised format this year,<br />
the Tech Quiz will test your knowledge of Porsche history,<br />
family trivia and model lines over the last 60 plus years! The<br />
Quiz goes by quickly, featuring 50 general questions and<br />
25 “Model” specific questions for your area of expertise.<br />
The answers are provided for you after the Quiz to discuss<br />
amongst your new friends ensuring that you will learn a lot<br />
of new facts about the car and culture we all love, Porsche.<br />

Please continue to read as I remind you of all the other<br />
opportunities that are available for you to enjoy during this<br />
fabulous Parade week in Savannah. I certainly hope to see<br />
you there!<br />
Parade Kids<br />
Younger Parade participants can look forward to plenty of<br />
action and adventure including RC cars and boats, make<br />
and take craft projects, pool games, karaoke, and outdoor<br />
movies. Kids will be able to make their own art piece on<br />
Sunday to enter in the Art<br />
Show. There will also be a<br />
photo gallery showcasing<br />
the work of our amateur<br />
photographers and their<br />
Parade experiences. There will<br />
be a ghost hunt, bike rally and<br />
pool party for the teens and<br />
tweens in addition to plenty of<br />
gaming and hanging out with<br />
friends in the Kids’ Lounges.<br />
Babysitting and activities will<br />
be provided for the evenings<br />
of the Concours and Victory<br />
banquets. We look forward to<br />
seeing our younger friends in<br />
Savannah!<br />
Hospitality<br />
Where is the place to meet<br />
your friends, have a morning<br />
coffee, an afternoon repast and<br />
check your email? The answer<br />
is the Parade Hospitality!<br />
Check the Parade schedule for<br />
all our activities, hours and<br />
special events including Wine<br />
and Beer Tastings.<br />
Our Parade Sponsors will<br />
have booths for you to view their products and more than a<br />
few Porsches on display. Stop by the Internet Cafe to check<br />
email, review the Parade website for information and print<br />
your boarding passes.<br />
Goodie Store<br />
We have planned a Goodie Store you won’t want to miss.<br />
Porsche merchandise, PCA-logo merchandise, Parade-logo<br />
merchandise, models, books, and special items not seen<br />
in past Parades can all be expected. Be sure to check the<br />
store repeatedly during the week to find the special item<br />
that expresses your affiliation with things Porsche and PCA<br />
26
or those items that make for the perfect reminders of your<br />
incredible week in Savannah. Major credit cards accepted,<br />
of course!<br />
Gimmick Rally<br />
The Gimmick Rally is designed to provide a scenic,<br />
relaxing and fun outing for everyone, including families.<br />
Our route will pass historic and colorful places of interest,<br />
with optional stops to explore and experience the charm of<br />
southern hospitality. The route will be simple and clearly<br />
described with a driving time of no more than two and one<br />
half hours. The gimmick of the rally will unfold as you drive<br />
the route, but there will be no tricks or traps, and novices<br />
and experienced gimmick rallyists alike will enjoy this rally.<br />
Load up the family and enjoy this event together!<br />
Driving Tours<br />
The Savannah Parade will include several guided driving<br />
tours to points of interest while cruising the beautiful<br />
countryside of Georgia and South Carolina. These tours have<br />
become some of the most popular activities of the week, and<br />
you can be sure that this year’s will not disappoint!<br />
Tech Academy<br />
The Porsche Club Tech Academy will provide participants<br />
with a well-rounded curriculum. All Porsche models will<br />
be covered. Upon completion of three hours of study<br />
(attending three sessions) you will be awarded a Bachelor of<br />
Arts diploma for your achievement. Five hours earns you a<br />
Masters degree and after seven hours of study you will have<br />
earned enough credits for a Doctorate degree. All diplomas<br />
will be signed Peter Smith, Dean of Porsche Club Academy<br />
and Manny Alban, President of Porsche Club of America.<br />
The Tech Academy will have something for everyone; stay<br />
tuned to the Parade website for the final class schedule.<br />
Local Attractions<br />
Savannah is a hotbed of cultural attractions and we will<br />
certainly take advantage of them. Offerings include a tour<br />
of nearby Hilton Head Island, the Rose Hill Plantation, the<br />
charming nearby towns of Bluffton and Beaufort and the<br />
communities on Tybee and Skidaway Islands.<br />

Getting a Grip<br />
By Travis Howard<br />
The Autocross School this year was<br />
held in April at one of the Ball Park<br />
in Arlington’s parking lots. Since<br />
last year, the school got a new name, new<br />
location, and better weather. This year<br />
the autocross school became The Get a<br />
Grip Autocross Academy, pretty snazzy,<br />
right? Instead of the Pennington Field<br />
lot, we went bigger with the Ball Park in Arlington. And<br />
instead of the<br />
cold, ice or snow<br />
in February, we<br />
had sunshine<br />
and temperature<br />
in the upper<br />
seventies.<br />
Twenty-one<br />
drivers enrolled<br />
for the experience<br />
and chance to<br />
see what their<br />
cars could do in an autocross environment. The students<br />
would get one-on-one instruction from some of the best.<br />
Photos by Avery Murphy<br />
There were multiple AX Top Driver winners and even DE<br />
instructors such as Bryan Bell there to share their experience<br />
and knowledge with the students.<br />
In the morning while the exercises were being set up,<br />
I had a chance to survey the paddock. Lined up were<br />
Porsche models<br />
ranging from the<br />
914 (known as<br />
one of the best<br />
autocross weapons<br />
in the right hands),<br />
to a 930 Turbo<br />
which would be a<br />
handful on the tight<br />
autocross course. We also had a sprinkling of<br />
newer water cooled Porsches. On the other end<br />
of the spectrum was a Cayenne shared by Jerry<br />
and Myra Sutton.<br />
Okay down to business. The students were<br />
split into two groups and matched to their<br />
instructors. One group would start with the<br />
Braking and Slalom exercises while the other group got<br />
acquainted with the Skid Pad. The instructor drives the car<br />
first to demonstrate the correct technique, then the student<br />
takes over.<br />
The Braking exercise teaches threshhold braking. The<br />
student accelerates at maximum speed and determines were<br />
they must start<br />
braking to stop at<br />
an identified spot<br />
using maximum<br />
braking without<br />
locking up the<br />
wheels or having<br />
the ABS in newer<br />
cars come on.<br />
Half the fun is the gathering...<br />
The slalom<br />
exercise is always one of the favorites. Here the student<br />
has a choice of an increasing (cone spacing gets wider),<br />
constant (cone spacing does not change), and a chicane (an<br />
offset pair of gates similar to changing lanes on the highway<br />
quickly).<br />
The Skid Pads are a test of car physics. The student drives<br />
around the Skid Pad as fast as possible using the throttle to<br />
steer the car around the circle.<br />
The afternoon was a chance to put the practiced skills to<br />
use. While one group of students ran the autocross course<br />
the other group worked the corners with their instructors.<br />
They had an excellent vantage point to observe the car as<br />
28
they navigated<br />
the course. As<br />
I worked grid I<br />
noticed the<br />
drivers as they<br />
came up to the<br />
The new Sutton mobile<br />
start line.<br />
Either they had a huge smile on their face or a stoic look of<br />
determination to find another second to take off their run<br />
time. If you want to experience the fun, competition,<br />
frustration, or the thrill of victory that make up autocross,<br />
come out to our next event.<br />
Your Porsche deserves a new home!<br />
Let me help you find one… .<br />
