©<strong>2011</strong> Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times.<br />

Skilled driving wins races, but having a Porsche Certified<br />

Service and Parts department behind you is a good start.<br />

Dedicated to Porsche vehicles above all else, our staff must complete over 80 hours a year<br />

training in the latest diagnostic technology and techniques. You'll also take comfort knowing<br />

all Porsche genuine parts are factory-backed for two years when installed by Boardwalk Porsche.<br />

Better still, there is no substitute for having your vehicle serviced by professionals who not only<br />

know Porsche, but live Porsche every day.<br />

Boardwalk Porsche would like to congratulate Denis Boulle,<br />

John Gladwill, Michael Hsu, Thomas Jones, Bernard Nussbaumer,<br />

and Greg Wallace on an impressive finish at the 48 Hours of Sebring.

Drifting<br />

John Hamilton, President<br />

Welcome to the Spring season<br />

of events, fellow Mavericks,<br />

and it certainly is a busy one!<br />

Here’s what you can look forward to (and<br />

hopefully, participate in):<br />

-Get a Grip Autocross Academy, <strong>April</strong><br />

9th at Texas Rangers Stadium: If you’ve<br />

never driven your beloved Porsche<br />

anywhere but on the street, here’s a great safe way for you to<br />

learn how your car can handle. You drive in a flat parking lot<br />

with only orange traffic cones as obstacles with an instructor<br />

showing you how to improve your driving skills. This IS the<br />

best way to start learning what your car (and YOU) can do!<br />

-The Bluebonnets Sunday Drive, <strong>April</strong> 10th. This is the<br />

PREMIERE Sunday driving event of the year! Join Porsches<br />

of almost every model and year as we tour the Texas roads<br />

and the beautiful Bluebonnets along the way. We’ll stop and<br />

park our “girls” in the ‘bonnets for photo opportunities. So<br />

remember to bring your camera so you can capture some of<br />

the great scenery, which will include Bluebonnets, Porsches<br />

and People!<br />

-<strong>April</strong> Drivers’ Education, <strong>April</strong> 16-17 at Motorsport<br />

Ranch in Cresson. This is typically the best-weather DE<br />

of the year: not too hot and not too cold. I hope you already<br />

signed-up since these are selling out fast. If you don’t want<br />

to drive but just want to observe, feel free to come down in<br />

your Porsche, let our own Cathy Howard at the gate know<br />

you’re a member, and come watch us on the track. Who<br />

knows? You might catch the DE fever!<br />

-Happy Hour at the Wildwood Grill,<br />

Southlake, Thursday, <strong>April</strong> 21st. Come<br />

join a bunch of us at a great local<br />

restaurant for Happy Hour, and stay for<br />

dinner like most of us do. You may want<br />

to bring your photos from the Bluebonnets<br />

Sunday Drive!<br />

-Time Trial #2 at Mineral Wells,<br />

Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 30th. Come develop your<br />

skills and improve your lap times around<br />

the course. Full instruction is available!<br />

And these are just some of the events<br />

this month. There’s also Autocross #2 on<br />

the 10th at Texas Rangers Stadium, the Lewisville lunch on<br />

the 12th and Southlake Lunch on the 28th.<br />

Did I forget to mention our Board Meeting on Wednesday<br />

the 6th!?! Hey- all members are invited (and there’s a free<br />

meal involved, too). Just RSVP to social@mavpca.org so<br />

we will know what to feed you.<br />

Our 50th Anniversary Celebration. Planning has begun!<br />

Our committee was officially formed at the March board<br />

meeting, and the committee had their first meeting on<br />

March 15th. We’ve got about a dozen volunteers so far,<br />

but we’ll need more along the way. If you’d like to help in<br />

the planning and/or execution, please contact Lisa Steele at<br />

50th@mavpca.org. They’re planning some REALLY BIG<br />

FUN!!!<br />

Mav of the Month<br />

You know our club is run by a bunch of fun-loving AND<br />

hard-working volunteers, right? Well, there aren’t many who<br />

work harder to make<br />

sure the club keeps<br />

running than our<br />

own Treasurer, Jim<br />

Falgout. Jim pays<br />

the bills, collects<br />

the money, keeps<br />

the books, builds the<br />

budgets, and reports<br />

out at each month’s<br />

meeting: “We have<br />

money.” So for all<br />

you do, Jim, here is<br />

your well-deserved<br />

Mav of the Month award.<br />

For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver Fox<br />

in Grapevine is giving Jim dinner for two at their award<br />

winning steak house.<br />

So THANK YOU, Jim, for all you do!<br />

John<br />

Richard Bradley, Managing Editor<br />

By now I’m sure every one of you<br />

has had a chance to get out and<br />

enjoy your favorite ride! If you<br />

haven’t, make some plans to join the rest<br />

of us on a drive or at one of our other<br />

events. There’s a lot to choose from<br />

including Drivers’ Education, Time Trials,<br />

Autocrosses, a fabulous Saturday Tour/<br />

Rally that looks to be out of this world (see page 10 for<br />

more details). “May @ Mayo’s” will also be coming back<br />

by popular demand, so clear your calendar and get cleaning.<br />

If you would rather go on a weekend getaway don’t forget<br />

about the Fiesta New Mexico, hosted by our neighbors to<br />

the west, the Roadrunner Region, in Sante Fe, New Mexico,<br />

which was featured in last month’s issue. There’s always<br />

something fun to do if you want to do it.<br />

By the time you read this, our 50th Anniversary Committee<br />

will have had two meetings getting us pointed in the right<br />

direction for next year’s celebration. We could still use more<br />

ideas and energy, so if you have either one of these, please<br />

come and help make our golden anniversary one that will be<br />

remembered for another fifty years. Until next month, get<br />

out and enjoy your Porsche, and make some new friends.<br />

Maverick Minutes<br />

Madhu Rao<br />

As President, John opened the<br />

meeting by reiterating the need<br />

to create a culture of inclusion,<br />

fun, and fellowship in all Maverick<br />

Region activities. He reviewed several<br />

administrative items (e.g., nominations,<br />

regional communications, meetings,<br />

etc.) relating to the <strong>2011</strong> Porsche Club of<br />

America (PCA) Parade in Savannah, GA. He also discussed<br />

increasing our engagement with our membership through<br />

follow up communications and potential programs for our<br />

newest members. John also shared the name of the next<br />

Maverick of the Month. Stay tuned for that!<br />

Separately, John reviewed our 50th Anniversary<br />

celebration. He suggested using the same structure as the<br />

2004 Ft. Worth Parade. Committee objectives, structure, and<br />

responsibilities are being determined. On this point Linda<br />

Bambina shared her spirited enthusiasm and experience<br />

with previous Porsche Parades by offering to help out on the<br />

50th Maverick Region anniversary event in 2012.<br />

As Treasurer, Jim reported that ‘we have money’ and<br />

requested budgets from the activity chairs to for <strong>2011</strong>. For<br />

his hard work, Jim was voted the next Maverick of the Month<br />

in March <strong>2011</strong>. How fitting, he gets the award during tax<br />

season!<br />

Richard Bradley, the managing editor of <strong>Slipstream</strong>,<br />

continues to produce an outstanding publication.<br />

Congratulations to Richard for being the February <strong>2011</strong><br />

Maverick of the Month. Richard notes that if you have any<br />

photos from Maverick Region events or an article of interest<br />

for <strong>Slipstream</strong>, please contact him at editor@mavpca.org.<br />

Pat Friend noted that our advertiser finances are current.<br />

Pat also manages our name badge ordering process. So, if<br />

you are a new member, we want to recognize you at events<br />

by providing you a Maverick Region name badge. Please<br />

contact Pat at ads@mavpca.org with your name, your city,<br />

and car(s) you drive and we’ll distribute your badge to you.<br />

John Harvey and Carey<br />

Spreen described their<br />

upcoming Sunday tours<br />

and road rally. The<br />

<strong>April</strong> 10th tour features<br />

a tour of Ennis to see the<br />

Bluebonnets. The May<br />

14th event is the Red River Derby Tour/Rally. Options<br />

include either a road rally or a driving tour. Both will end<br />

at Rancho Sereno in North Texas (www.ranchosereno.com).<br />

Looks great doesn’t it?<br />

Our first Drivers’ Education event will be held in March.<br />

Mike Farrar will be serving as the equipment manager. This<br />

is Mike’s third meeting and it is great to see his enthusiasm<br />

and desire to help out Luke Edson at these events.<br />

Lisa Steele noted that the hospitality arrangements are<br />

set for the upcoming Drivers’ Education events. Hey Lisa,<br />

what’s for lunch?<br />

Continuing on the Drivers’ Education theme, Mike<br />

Brodigan noted that registration for the March Drivers’<br />

Education exceeds 100. He also described the following<br />

new incentive. Yellow level drivers receive a 1 free event<br />

after 4 and white level receives 1 free event after 3 events.<br />

Spaces are filling up fast. Contact Mike at de@mavpca.org<br />

if you have any questions.<br />

Mike also described the recent tech sessions at Autobahn<br />

Porsche and Boardwalk Porsche. There were over 50<br />

passionate Porschephiles in attendance. Credit Ed Mullenix<br />

and Bob Benson for great events. Cliff Blackshear also was<br />

very helpful at the event.<br />

Wendy Shoffit is serving as the acting Drivers’ Education<br />

registrar and presented several updates at the meeting. By<br />

the time you read this, registration will open for the <strong>2011</strong><br />

PCA Parade in Savannah, GA and Wendy is the Parade<br />

webmaster. She described the great events at Parade and<br />

the potential to caravan there. Wendy also presented the<br />

Red River Derby<br />

By John Harvey, Tourmeister, Carey Spreen, Rallymeister<br />

Come join us on Saturday, May 14, for the Red<br />

River Derby Tour and Rally! This will be a fun<br />

afternoon tour from McKinney to Rancho Sereno,<br />

north of Whitesboro near the Red River. As a bonus for<br />

the competitive, you can enter the Gimmick Rally, which<br />

will be held in parallel with the tour, although it will use a<br />

different route.<br />

The tour will begin at the Westgate Shopping Center,<br />

US 75 (Central Expressway) exit 40A, on the northbound<br />

service road. We will meet at noon, and the first Rally car<br />

out will be at 12:30pm, with the Tour group leaving after<br />

the Rally entrants have started out. From there we will wind<br />

our way through Texas horse country over some excellent<br />

“blue roads,” ending up a couple of hours later at Rancho<br />

Sereno, run by former Maverick Region members Mike and<br />

Lisa Maberry.<br />

And if you have been reading or hearing about Road<br />

Rallying, this is your chance to experience it for yourself -<br />

optional of course! It will be an easy one; think of it as an<br />

Introduction to Rallying. If you elect to enter the Rally, you<br />

will need to bring a clipboard, a pencil or two, and make<br />

sure that there are at least two people in your vehicle. You<br />

will get a route sheet that tells you your route, and, to make<br />

sure you followed that route, you will answer questions<br />

related to landmarks along the way. This is not a TSD (timespeed-distance)<br />

Rally, so you will not need a stopwatch, just<br />

a working odometer. The car (driver/navigator) that answers<br />

the most questions correctly, and gets closest to the official<br />

route mileage, will be the winner. A bail-out map will be<br />

included, but if you use it, you will not be scored.<br />

Rancho Sereno (www.ranchosereno.com), our destination,<br />

is a 165-acre private ranch with two personalities - it is a<br />

reigning horse breeding operation as well as a Bed and<br />

Breakfast, with a 115-acre wildlife preserve thrown in for<br />

good measure.<br />

Our hosts at Rancho Sereno plan to give us a tour of their<br />

operation (including baby horses, of course) and then feed<br />

us afterwards, with a wine tasting to boot! To offset the cost<br />

of the barbecue, we will be charging a nominal per person<br />

fee of $15. We will shortly announce an Evite web page,<br />

where you will be able to RSVP and pay in advance. Please<br />

note that we need an RSVP from you to get an accurate head<br />

count for the meal. Drive-ups may not be able to partake in<br />

the barbecue!<br />

We expect to be finished by 7:00 PM, and the trip back to<br />

the Metroplex will take a little over an hour on main<br />

highways, although you can go back any way you like!<br />

Hilltop Sunday Drive<br />

By Ralph Kauffman<br />

The first Sunday drive of the <strong>2011</strong> Cleburne was very scenic and interesting with many farms<br />

season proved be a “baptism by and horses of all colors. One had a sign that said “Deer<br />

fire” or maybe “baptism by GPS” Ranch” although none of the antlered creatures were visible<br />

for new Tourmeister John Harvey and his to us. For those who remember the 2009 Granbury Roundup<br />

associate, BJ. More on that later. Thirty rally, there were many cemetEries along the route.<br />

cars and 57 Mavericks turned out at the<br />

John and BJ thoughtfully included one rest stop that we<br />

Duncanville Whataburger on Highway 67<br />

made at a Tigermart on the south side of Cleburne. We filled<br />

on a perfect day for a drive in the country.<br />

and overflowed both the parking lot and the waiting line<br />

The weather was bright and sunny and warm enough for most<br />

space for the restrooms.<br />

to fold their soft tops. The line-up of cars in the Whataburger<br />

parking lot was<br />

After depleting<br />

almost concourslike.<br />

A wide<br />

lines and<br />

the waiting<br />

variety of models<br />

enjoying Porsche<br />

were represented<br />

camaraderie we<br />

including a 1973<br />

were off once<br />

914, a 928S,<br />

more heading<br />

and at least<br />

northwest on<br />

one 911GT3 in<br />

route 171 toward<br />

addition to an<br />

the heavenly<br />

A great time by all who showed up for an afternoon fun and friends!<br />

assortment of<br />

community of<br />

other 911s, Boxsters, and Caymans.<br />

Godley. At Godley we turned east on route 917, and blasted<br />

down the road toward Joshua. After several miles our caravan<br />

We caravaned south on Route 67 for about 20 miles,<br />

came to a stop. Soon John and BJ’s Seal Gray Boxster came<br />

following John and BJ and with Jack DuFon in the “sweep”<br />

back toward us signaling everyone to turn around. We did<br />

car at the back. At route 157 we turned east, stopping almost<br />

not know it at the time but it later turned out that John’s<br />

immediately at the Venus town square for a top-lowering<br />

GPS apparently did not stay long enough in Godley and had<br />

opportunity. We parked under the watchful eye of the Venus<br />

become devil-possessed. The turning-around exercise for 30<br />

Police Department who very nicely blocked traffic so we<br />

cars on a narrow country<br />

could all get underway in one group. While stopped there<br />

road reminded me of the<br />

a young boy inquired if this was a funeral procession. He<br />

old Willis Brothers truck<br />

was assured that it was not, and anyway we were sans<br />

driving song, “Give Me<br />

hearse. From Venus we proceeded southeast to Maypearl.<br />

Forty Acres” (and I’ll<br />

Approaching a stop sign there, sirens wailed in the vicinity.<br />

turn this rig around).<br />

Fortunately they proved to be coming from a fire engine and<br />

Anyway, all followed<br />

not a police cruiser.<br />

the leader and went back<br />

From Maypearl the fun began when we proceeded<br />

out of town for a few miles and turned right on<br />

a byway named Brindley Road. At first it seemed<br />

like it was part of the route although a marker for<br />

route 916 was nowhere in sight. After about a mile<br />

the pavement thinned out and became gravel. At<br />

that point we started to have doubts as to the routepicking<br />

skills of our fearless leader. Fortunately<br />

the gravel section was extremely short and soon<br />

we had better pavement. After a few more miles we<br />

arrived at an intersection, turned left, and found we<br />

were then on route 916. John said later that he flat missed<br />

the turn at Maypearl and GPSed us back to the correct route.<br />

All new Tourmeisters are entitled to a mulligan or two.<br />

John Harvey making<br />

sure everyone is<br />

ready to roll...<br />

to Godley where we turned north on route 171 briefly and<br />

then north on route 2331. After several miles at the top<br />

of a big hill we turned right on appropriately named Sky<br />

Road where, after everyone had turned, we stopped again.<br />

<strong>April</strong> 11

Again the signal came to turn around. At this point some<br />

of our intrepid group apparently lost faith and took off<br />

ahead of fearless leader. No matter, most of us followed<br />

and continued north on 2331 to<br />

route 1187. There we turned east,<br />

passing through Crowley and north<br />

of Burleson en route to Mansfield<br />

where we rejoined our original<br />

route. Although it seemed much<br />

longer because of the stops and<br />

turnarounds, by my calculations<br />

the alternate route was only about<br />

4 miles longer than the original one (not counting retracing<br />

distances).<br />

From Mansfield to Babe’s Chicken Dinner House in Cedar<br />

Hill was a pleasant and scenic drive across Joe Pool Lake,<br />

up Cedar Hill past the broadcasting towers, and into the<br />

downtown and Babe’s.<br />

Thirty-two of us enjoyed Babe’s very tasty and plentiful<br />

dinner. Over dinner John said that the reason for the<br />

turnarounds and alternate route was that his GPS was telling<br />

him that the original route was incorrect and was incessantly<br />

recalculating. He decided that maybe there was a problem<br />

ahead and changed<br />

the route.<br />

In sum the glitches<br />

were really very minor<br />

and those who stuck<br />

with the program (and,<br />

I think, those who did<br />

not) had a very<br />

enjoyable first Sunday<br />

drive of the <strong>2011</strong><br />

season. John and BJ<br />

are to be commended<br />

and thanked for<br />

selecting an interesting route and for all the organizational<br />

effort that is necessary for a successful drive.<br />

Cliff’s Ramblings<br />

By Cliff Blackshear<br />

The other day, Jason and I were<br />

returning from lunch and found<br />

ourselves stopped immediately<br />

behind a flat bed tow vehicle with a 911<br />

on the bed in front of our workshop. A<br />

rat about 6-7<br />

inches long (not<br />

including its<br />

tail), was running back and forth<br />

at the end of the bed. It seemed<br />

to be looking for an escape from<br />

where it was. We have seen so<br />

much rodent damage over the<br />

years that it was amazing to<br />

actually see the critter that was<br />

executing that damage, on a<br />

flatbed. If a vehicle sits for long<br />

periods of time, a creature may<br />

think it’s part of the landscape and<br />

rats, mice, squirrels etc. can sometimes view a vehicle as a<br />

place to live. Then they move in!<br />

It turns out the car had sat for a long period of time and a<br />

rodent had built an elaborate home in the engine. It stored<br />

Rodent Intrusion<br />

enough food to last through the winter even though it had<br />

eaten wiring on the engine and rendered it useless.<br />

We pulled in next to the flatbed and I asked the driver if it<br />

was a no start tow in ”Yep,” he replied. We watched the rat<br />

disappear back up into the car as the tow truck stopped prior<br />

to my question.<br />

It is amazing how much<br />

damage a critter can do to a<br />

car if the car is left unattended<br />

for a long period of time. They<br />

love the taste of wire insulating<br />

material and find the engine<br />

compartment to be a great<br />

place to make a nest.<br />

Amazingly, it’s something<br />

we see quite often so please<br />

bait the area you park your car<br />

in for rodents. It can save you<br />

thousands of dollars. This time, we had to pull the engine<br />

and replace some major wire harnesses plus clean up the<br />

mess and make things right.<br />

Just Sayin!<br />

So The Journey Begins<br />

By Cara J. Peterson<br />

We have a slogan at work that<br />

every person has their own<br />

unique journey. My journey<br />

starts when the love of my life, Leif,<br />

purchased the car of his dreams in<br />

2010, a 911. Since then, I have learned<br />

the meaning of a variety of terms such<br />

as “grid” (don’t park here), “996” and<br />

“PSM” (Please Save Me!) I’ve since watched my husband<br />

drive 100 miles an hour from the side lines many times. Leif<br />

loves it, he lives it and breathes it, but all the while I only<br />

watched. Finally, instead of watching I decided to dive in<br />

and see what the big deal was.<br />

I did my first Time Trial on March 19 in Mineral Wells.<br />

Tannia Dobbins was my instructor. The first thing we did<br />

was get into my car and drive a Parade lap to learn the<br />

course, probably the most important part of the day. I was<br />

driving and felt like I was really flying. It was exhilarating!<br />

Oh, but then we got in Tannia’s Boxster for a “real” lap<br />

around the course. During those 73 seconds I was gritting<br />

my teeth, screaming, holding my breath and loving every<br />

minute of it; Tannia laughing the whole way! She is an<br />

excellent driver with no fear and was by my side the<br />

remainder of the day, both on and off the track. I learned a<br />

lot in just a short period… things like “get loose” (sometimes<br />

good), “traction control” (bad), “turn in and track out”<br />

(good), “DNF” (bad) and the coveted “spin out” (you’ve<br />

pushed the car to learn the limits, good). So for all of you<br />

sideliners... get in the car, get on the gas (gas, gas, gas!) and<br />

I guarantee you will be grinning from ear to ear the whole<br />

way too!<br />

So, what is this Parade Concours thing all about?<br />

By Cole Scrogham<br />

Photos by Cole Scrogham<br />

That title question really seems to be the most common<br />

thing asked by new Parade attendees…what is this<br />

Concours thing all about? Well, I guess it might be<br />

considered one of those questions where the answer depends<br />

on your perspective. If you have an autocross perspective,<br />

then the “Q-tippers” are slightly off their rocker and the<br />

display is just a nice way to spend the day before the autocross<br />

starts (other than the race cars on display of course!). To the<br />

Rally folks, the display is a little more palatable, but if you<br />

are going to spend that much time with your car you should at<br />

least include a few calculations to correlate the speedometer<br />

with your GPS. I’m not<br />

even going to discuss<br />

the Tech Quiz only<br />

crowd…<br />

The Concours can<br />

be as simple or as<br />

complicated as you<br />

like, from a nice display<br />

of Porsches to enjoy on<br />

a beautiful summer day<br />

to the last details of restoration perfection,<br />

and anywhere in between. The Parade<br />

Concours is the premier Concours event of<br />

the year for PCA; a truly awesome display<br />

of over 60 years of Porsche history in<br />

America and beyond. The Parade location<br />

this year is Savannah, Georgia, a charming<br />

destination city that is sure to provide you<br />

with your fill of pralines and peanuts once you have had<br />

enough of the Concours.<br />

For the first time in the Park’s history, an automotive<br />

display will be allowed on these grounds, courtesy of the<br />

<strong>2011</strong> Parade Concours. Porsche Club of America members<br />

will stroll the lawns and gardens festooned with possibly the<br />

finest display of Porsches in Parade history. Reds, Blues,<br />

Yellows and Blacks will add to the Green of Forsyth Park,<br />

as Porsches in all shapes and sizes converge on the grounds.<br />

The Monday event is open to the public and will be buzzing<br />

with activity all day long.<br />

Featuring over a hundred cars, the Concours will display<br />

competitive vehicles in classes, divisions and groups in four<br />

major areas: Preparation, Preservation, Restoration and<br />

Performance. The crowd favorite Historic Display should<br />

feel right at home in this location as well! And if competition<br />

is not your thing, the Corral is another possibility. Several<br />

hundred Porsches will be displayed (grouped by model)<br />

in the non-competitive Corral. To join this collection of<br />

Porsches, you just need to submit a regular entry to the<br />

Parade before registration closes…but if you can’t bring<br />

your Porsche and want to view the Concours, just bring<br />

yourself as this event is open to the public.<br />

The four groups of cars are grouped in roughly the following<br />

criteria (memorize this to impress any innocent bystander at<br />

Forsyth Park that asks the “What’s this Concours thing all<br />

about…” question!):<br />

Preparation-This is the group comprised of mostly newer<br />

cars, they are being judged on how well prepared they are<br />

(ie-clean). There is not so much emphasis on originality as<br />

how completely free of dirt the car is, so watch out for those<br />

Q-tips!<br />

Preservation-This group is the opposite of<br />

Preparation, it is reserved for cars that have been<br />

faithfully maintained and kept original over many<br />

years, so you will see mostly older Porsches<br />

here with decades of careful care and attention.<br />

Cleanliness is not so<br />

important, but all of the<br />

original bits and pieces<br />

certainly are!<br />

Restoration-This group<br />

is made up of cars that<br />

have been restored to their<br />

original condition. This<br />

time consuming process is<br />

evaluated by experienced<br />

teams of judges, some of<br />

whom actually remember<br />

what these cars looked like when they were new! Cleanliness<br />

and originality are judged, making this group a difficult<br />

proposition for entrants, so thankfully there are cars judged<br />

in Touring (top only) and Full (top and bottom of the car is<br />

judged).<br />

Performance-This group of cars ranges from all out racers<br />

to modified street cars, most of them “personalized” to their<br />

owner’s liking. You will see a lot of variety in this group,<br />

which is judged on cleanliness only and feature highly<br />

modified and performance oriented Porsches.<br />

I hope that little refresher course on the Parade Competition<br />

Rules helps you spot the different groups at the Concours,<br />

and make more sense of the myriad of awards and trophies<br />

at the banquet. You can also browse the Porsche Corral<br />

and Historic Display for cars that are not competing, but<br />

certainly add a lot to the display. Feel free to come a day<br />

or so early and enjoy the prep area (air-conditioned!) in the<br />

convention center and see all the work that goes on behind<br />

the scenes of our Day at the Concours!<br />

Won’t you join us there? For more information see<br />

Member Spotlight: Stephen Muncy (and his family)<br />

Andrea Bell, Public Relations Chair<br />

This month’s new member spotlight<br />

is on Stephen Muncy (and his<br />

family). Stephen has a 1974 914<br />

2.0. This is his first Porsche. He searched<br />

a little over two years before finding ‘the<br />

one’ for them. It is originally a Texas car<br />

that was imported in Houston and sold at<br />

a dealership in Laredo. He found it near<br />

Chicago, where it had<br />

been rescued from 15<br />

years in a barn and<br />

partially restored by<br />

the previous owner.<br />

He was determined<br />

to turn the whole<br />

experience into an<br />

adventure, so a friend<br />

and Stephen rode<br />

Amtrak from Fort<br />

Worth to Chicago<br />

-and spent the next 2 days driving it the 925 miles back<br />

home to Texas. Since owning the car, he had it repainted<br />

and replaced the aftermarket wheels with original Fuchs 2.0<br />

alloys. It is currently his daily driver.<br />

Jennifer (his wife) and Stephen both grew up in the Texas<br />

Panhandle. He’s from Amarillo and she’s from Miami<br />

(Texas!) She is from Miami and he is from Amarillo. They<br />

were married in 1995. Jennifer is a funeral director who<br />

does independent consulting. Stephen worked for BNSF<br />

railway for 15 years. His time with the railroad has taken<br />

them from Amarillo to Dodge City, KS then Wichita, KS<br />

and now to Fort Worth. (The Muncy family moved to Keller<br />

in June, 2008.)<br />

Their daughter Berkley is 11 and has appointed<br />

herself the official co-pilot and iPod DJ of the 914.<br />

All three of them are HUGE Texas Rangers fans<br />

and go to the ballpark as much as they can. They<br />

also are very big University of Texas football fans.<br />

They enjoy traveling and are taking a cruise over<br />

spring break. Berkley sings in the choir at her<br />

school and loves to play volleyball. She will be a<br />

cheerleader in the 7th grade next year.<br />

Look for Stephen, Jennifer, and Berkley at a<br />

future event and please extend a warm Maverick welcome.<br />

Happy Hour - Abuelo’s, Lewisville<br />

By Frank Briggs<br />

Spring has sprung and the gathering<br />

at Abuelo’s was great when you<br />

consider the other<br />

activities taking place<br />

on March 17th. We had<br />

thirty plus Mavericks<br />

and guests join us as we<br />

competed with places<br />

serving green beer, March Madness and<br />

Spring Break.<br />

There was the always enjoyable fellowship<br />

as we shared Porsche stories over adult<br />

beverages before being served wonderful<br />

Mexican food in plates the size of serving<br />

dishes.<br />

With Spring-like weather on this “last<br />

week of Winter,” the parking lot was full<br />

of beautiful P-cars in their top-down state.<br />

It just doesn’t get any better than a 78 degree evening to<br />

enjoy your favorite<br />

ride, visit with<br />

both old and new<br />

friends and discuss<br />

looking forward to<br />

your next Maverick<br />

event. The license<br />

plate on Dee’s and<br />

George’s beautiful<br />

997 Cabriolet says<br />

it all.<br />

Speaking of upcoming events, we are all looking forward<br />

to getting back together at our <strong>April</strong> 21st Happy Hour at<br />

Wildwood Grill in Southlake. It is a wonderful venue with a<br />

menu to match. I hope to see you there!!<br />

993 TT Transformation<br />

By Travis Cearley<br />

So we started with a 4,400 mile, bone-stock 1997<br />

Porsche 911 Turbo, in metallic black. Then we tore<br />

the whole car apart.<br />

We began what the Germans call a “transformation.”<br />

That’s a pretty apt description when you go from Porsche’s<br />

superbly designed pinnacle of air-cooled performance in<br />

3.6L form, then enlarge it to 3.8L and add a few other trick<br />

pieces along the way. Not to mention my personal favorite<br />

part, raising the<br />

boost.<br />

The teardown<br />

started by<br />

removing the<br />

engine and<br />

transmission as a<br />

unit, then securing<br />

the engine to a<br />

work stand for<br />

convenience.<br />

Next, we started<br />

peeling away<br />

layers upon layers<br />

of parts so that we<br />

could get to the heart of the matter, the engine case. Once<br />

the cylinder heads were removed, they were sent to John<br />

Day at Day Custom<br />

Engines to be<br />

machined so that the<br />

larger pistons would<br />

clear the combustion<br />

chamber, since the<br />

993 turbo pistons<br />

actually raise out of<br />

the cylinder and into<br />

the head by about 6<br />

millimeters or so.<br />

Since this particular<br />

build requires us to<br />

install new, upgraded<br />

connecting rods,<br />

the case must also be split. Once the cases were separated,<br />

everything was cleaned, and examined for any unusual wear.<br />

Carrillo rods were fitted with new bearings and torqued to<br />

specification while the crankshaft was bolted to a fixture<br />

secured in a vise. New bearings were also installed in the<br />

case halves for the intermediate shaft, and the oil pump was<br />

clearanced further from the factory notches for the slightly<br />

larger connecting rods. At this point, the cases were coated<br />

with flange sealant, and the cases were bolted back together,<br />

while following a specific torque sequence.<br />

After the core of the power plant was reassembled, it was<br />

time to file fit the rings. This procedure takes time and<br />

patience, since one wrong move means you have to start<br />

over with another<br />

new set of rings.<br />

The end gap<br />

when the rings<br />

are on the piston<br />

and installed<br />

in the cylinder<br />

are absolutely<br />

critical for such<br />

Before and after the<br />

transformation!<br />

Photos by Mark Plummer<br />

a demanding<br />

environment.<br />

Too much gap,<br />

and the car loses<br />

compression, too<br />

little and the rings bind under extreme<br />

heat and seize the piston in the cylinder,<br />

causing a catastrophic failure. Once this<br />

painstaking step was finished, the pistons<br />

rings were installed on their matched,<br />

forged pistons and pre-fit into the billet<br />

cylinders. Installation of the “P’s and<br />

C’s” started at the rear of the motor, one by one, and finished<br />

at the front. Now we go back to the cylinder heads<br />

At this point, the “bottom-end” has been completed<br />

and assembled. The heads have been returned from<br />

the machine shop, and it’s time to install them.<br />

The camshaft housing has been loosely bolted on<br />

after the heads are slid onto the studs, so that the<br />

dowels line up after the<br />

heads have been torqued.<br />

The head stud nuts were<br />

lubed and tightened<br />

in series, and the cam<br />

boxes were sealed and<br />

bolted down as well. The<br />

camshafts were wiggled<br />

in, and the retrofit-kit of<br />

mechanically adjusted<br />

rockers were put in place<br />

and adjusted. Old-style<br />

cam gears slide on, so<br />

that the new, upgraded<br />

cam timing can be set to<br />

a whopping 2.3 mm of lift at overlap. Once all of the basic<br />

mechanicals are set, it’s simply a matter of stacking the<br />

remaining components on in order<br />

Aside from the previously mentioned parts, the rest of<br />

26

the engine build remains largely stock. The turbos, fuel<br />

pressure regulator, mufflers, and DME unit were replaced<br />

with modified units. A BMC, high-flow air filter was<br />

installed as well. Once the engine was assembled, the<br />

stronger clutch was installed and the power train was<br />

reunited and inserted into the car. An additional oil cooler<br />

was installed behind the A/C condenser on the driver side to<br />

assist with cooling the enhanced engine. Mobil One oil is<br />

the recommended oil from Porsche, and that’s the blood of<br />

choice for this particular animal. Surely, we had to get the<br />

blood pumping…<br />

We pulled the DME relay from the fuse box and cranked<br />

the engine over until we had oil pressure showing on the<br />

gauge. Then it<br />

was time to wake<br />

up the beast. We<br />

plugged the DME<br />

Turbo S fog light/brake<br />

ducts painted body<br />

color. Stratishield<br />

Customs protected<br />

this investment by<br />

wrapping the damageprone<br />

areas with clear<br />

film over the entire<br />

front clip, including<br />

mirrors and the entire<br />

hood and fenders,<br />

along with the rockchip<br />

prone bumper<br />

area behind the rear<br />

tires. Wheels and tires<br />

The interior with its new<br />

steering wheel and gauges.<br />

could not be left unnoticed, so they were replaced with a set<br />

of OZ racing wheels, and the best Michelin rubber available.<br />

Final analysis, this car rocks!!! Tasteful, yet potent.<br />

Smooth, but fierce. I heard there are some heavily modified<br />

Nissan GT-R’s that got embarrassed on the toll way…<br />

Nonetheless, this is what the 993 turbo should have been<br />

from the factory. Now, it’s a reality, watch out!<br />

Once the new cylinder<br />

heads where in place,<br />

it’s time to start the<br />

reassemble.<br />

relay back in, doublechecked<br />

everything,<br />

and fired it up. After<br />

a little coughing and<br />

puffing, the 3.8L lit<br />

off, and settled into a<br />

lopey idle. Great Success!!!<br />

On top of the engine upgrades, we also updated and enhanced<br />

the exterior and interior. The black stitching was replaced<br />

throughout with red, by Johnny Saunders of Exclusive Auto,<br />

who works directly behind our shop at RAC Performance.<br />

We also replaced the stock seats with factory Porsche Sport<br />

seats, with red stitching, and seat backs painted to match the<br />

exterior of the car. The interior was finished out with red<br />

seatbelts, and a set of red-faced gauges, along with Turbo S<br />

door panel inserts and a full carbon interior set from Porsche.<br />

The gear shifter was replaced with a carbon fiber knob, and<br />

to top the interior off, a carbon and leather steering wheel<br />

with red stitching replaced the old unit. The only exterior<br />

modifications were a Turbo S front lip spoiler, and a set of<br />

Tech Corner<br />

Ed Mullenix, Tech Chair<br />

The last two tech sessions have<br />

been focused on brake system<br />

maintenance and the tech<br />

inspection sheet the club requires prior<br />

to a DE. Our intent was to illuminate the<br />

importance of a mechanically sound car<br />

before it is taken to a track event. A DE<br />

(Drivers’ Education) is high speed spirited<br />

driving that puts stress on the brakes and suspension that are<br />

not normally encountered in every-day driving.<br />

I had the pleasure several years ago of driving a 3.2 liter<br />

Carrera in Germany and down through the Italian Alps. At<br />

that time there were several sections of the Autobahn that<br />

didn’t have speed limits.<br />

Spending most of my<br />

time in the passing lane<br />

was an experience like<br />

no other. Here in the<br />

“flatlands” where one<br />

rarely gets to exceed<br />

the posted speed statute,<br />

it is still exciting to<br />

“mash the right pedal<br />

to the floor” even if<br />

only briefly. Motoring<br />

along on the Autobahn<br />

at 250 kph (more than<br />

140 mph!) was a joy and<br />

knowing that any curves<br />

were well marked and were designed to be taken at high<br />

speed (no 40 kph hairpins) made it that much better.<br />

I enjoy the thrill of driving fast, but I prefer to do it<br />

somewhere where I stand a good chance of surviving the<br />

event. Taking our Porsches to venues like Eagles Canyon<br />

or MotorSport Ranch is absolutely the appropriate place<br />

to experience the capabilities of our cars. Prior to my<br />

“all expense paid vacation” to Iraq in 2003, my shop was<br />

located in McKinney. I recall working on a customer’s 930<br />

that would misfire at 140-150 mph. I performed the repairs<br />

that I thought would cure the problem and took the car up<br />

on Highway 380 to test the results. Then McKinney was<br />

a pastoral setting with only the occasional State Trooper<br />

running radar. I made a low speed run to check for local<br />

DPS activity and after finding none, started my high speed<br />

run. As I shifted through the gears with my right foot firmly<br />

shoved to the floor, I reflected how the small rolling hills and<br />

passing power line poles along the road took on a different<br />

perspective at 140 mph! I also remembered having seen<br />

humongous John Deere four wheel drive tractors pulling<br />

twin 20 row harrows that took up both driving lanes and<br />

Photo from Pelican Parts<br />

the shoulder while motoring along at 25 mph. Were I to<br />

encounter such, as I crested the next hill, I most certainly<br />

would not have been able to stop in time. I lost my nerve<br />

and slowed down. The goal in life is to be “seriously old<br />

and wrinkled when you die.” My thoughts were that I was<br />

neither old nor wrinkled enough yet! This brings us back to<br />

the present AND our tech inspection sheet.<br />

The club is experimenting with the “self-inspection”<br />

concept for those drivers who would like to be able to<br />

sign the “inspected by” line on the inspection sheet.<br />

The program is still in work. At present, the Executive<br />

Committee, Safety Committee, and the Tech Committee,<br />

are all in agreement to permit those drivers in the “Yellow<br />

or White” experience groups to selfinspect<br />

should they feel competent to<br />

do so. Several enthusiastic “Blue”<br />

group drivers’ have expressed interest<br />

in self-inspection as well. At present,<br />

my suggestion would be to exercise<br />

a little patience while we “work the<br />

kinks out!” First and foremost is the<br />

safety of all of the participants. One<br />

of our members offered up the idea<br />

of a “Tech Logbook” similar to the<br />

drivers’ logbook. We’re considering<br />

how to implement something like<br />

that. Training someone about what to<br />

look for and how to prepare or correct<br />

discrepancies on one’s car is not<br />

something that is achieved in one three hour tech session.<br />

Several members have extensive experience working on<br />

their own cars and have invested lots of money in tools<br />

and equipment. Mark and Monda H, who at last count<br />

have five Porsches, have an automotive lift in their garage.<br />

James S, our current Zone 5 Rep, has no reservations<br />

about disassembling his 915 transaxle trackside. For<br />

those contemplating becoming qualified to self-inspect,<br />

talk with other club members who share the enthusiasm<br />

for greasy fingernails and the occasional loss of skin on<br />

their knuckles. Obtain a repair manual and invest in some<br />

tools that will allow you to perform the tasks required to<br />

prepare your car for the track. Prepare your car as well as<br />

you possibly can and then present it to a qualified repair<br />

facility to see if you missed anything. All three Porsche<br />

Dealers in the Metroplex, Autobahn, Boardwalk, and Park<br />

Place, as well as RAC Performance, Zim’s, Mayo’s, Fifth<br />

Gear, and Motorsport Engineering, perform complimentary<br />

tech inspections. I would call one of these club supporters<br />

to arrange an appointment.<br />
