John Hamilton, President<br />

Volunteerism:<br />

“The act of<br />

selflessly<br />

giving your life<br />

to something you<br />

believe free of pay.”<br />

(Wikipedia)<br />

On Tuesday, November 8th, an<br />

email went out to Maverick Region<br />

members asking for support for the<br />

Dallas Veterans’ Day Parade. The<br />

Parade organizers had contacted us<br />

because they were overwhelmed<br />

with veterans who wanted to ride<br />

in the parade, leaving them 20 cars<br />

short. By Friday, Veterans’ Day,<br />

we had exactly 20 volunteers with<br />

their Porsches who drove Veterans<br />

in the parade. That’s Volunteerism.<br />

Ironically, our Founders’ Day<br />

Celebration was the next day.<br />

Founders’ Day is where we celebrate<br />

the Founders of our 49-year-old club<br />

and the special contributors who<br />

have helped the club thrive and grow.<br />

Our club’s top recognition is the<br />

Selcer Award, the purpose of which<br />

is “to acknowledge outstanding<br />

contributions to the Maverick Region<br />

and to inspire others to do likewise”<br />

(sounds like Volunteerism to me).<br />

And this year’s recipient is our<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong> editor, Richard Bradley,<br />

who has managed our award-winning<br />

publication for the past three years!<br />

Our second award, the Gregg Murrell<br />

Driving Enthusiast award, was<br />

presented to Bill Miller, who has done<br />

an incredible job as co-chair of our<br />

Club Race event for the past five years,<br />

in his own quiet, confident style. Bill<br />

“stays under the radar” and just makes<br />

the Club Race happen with everything<br />

operating so smoothly. Thanks, Bill!<br />

Regrettably, both these awardwinners<br />

are retiring from their<br />

current positions, thus creating new<br />

opportunities for some of YOU, our<br />

future volunteers! I encourage you<br />

to be looking for where<br />

you can give back to<br />

the club. Sometimes<br />

it’s the unexpected,<br />

like Veterans’ Day,<br />

and sometimes it’s the<br />

scheduled, like our<br />

Happy Hours (yes:<br />

we’re always looking<br />

for Happy Hour hosts,<br />

who will meet & greet,<br />

and submit an article<br />

with photos). So<br />

please, be thinking<br />

about where you could<br />

contribute. It’s the<br />

act of giving back to<br />

something you believe in and support.<br />

Mav of the Month<br />

This month’s Mav of the Month<br />

award (for volunteerism) goes to<br />

our retiring V.P. and Happy Hour<br />

chair, Chris Christensen. For the<br />

past year, Chris has<br />

been instrumental<br />

in planning the<br />

future of the club,<br />

ensuring we have<br />

insurance coverage<br />

for all driving events,<br />

and organizing,<br />

scheduling and<br />

delivering successful<br />

monthly Happy<br />

Hour events at local<br />

restaurants. Chris<br />

and his wife, Ann,<br />

also hosted many<br />

of these Happy<br />

Hours themselves,<br />

providing <strong>Slipstream</strong><br />

with a monthly<br />

article with many<br />

of our names<br />

and pictures.<br />

So thank you, Chris, for your<br />

volunteerism. Enjoy “your<br />

just desserts” (and the rest of<br />

the meal) at the Silver Fox!<br />

Richard Bradley, Managing Editor<br />

As I finish with my 36th issue of<br />

<strong>Slipstream</strong>, I want to thank each<br />

and every one of you that has made<br />

our newsletter become what it is today.<br />

I’ve become very attached to the club and<br />

especially the amazing volunteers known as<br />

our Board/Chair members. There is so much<br />

good going on during our monthly board meetings that I<br />

hope you make a point of attending at least one. You need to<br />

become involved and get to know this core group of people!<br />

As Editor, my eyes have been opened to the enthusiastic,<br />

fun loving friendships that are part of our club, even if I had<br />

to use this position to push myself into becoming involved.<br />

I’ve enjoyed working behind the scenes on <strong>Slipstream</strong>, and<br />

I hope it shows. Well, as we all know, all good things come<br />

to an end. I’m overwhelmed to have accomplished what you<br />

allowed me to do for you. This year alone; 1st place in the<br />

National Newsletter contest and then being awarded the<br />

Mavericks prestigious Selcer Award at our Founders’ Day<br />

event. I am truly honored to have served as your Editor for<br />

the past three years. Thank you all.<br />

60 hard to<br />

days… 60<br />

degrees,<br />

believe how hot it was<br />

just two months ago. I<br />

hope you are able to<br />

drive your Porsche in<br />

this wonderful weather.<br />

John Hamilton opened the meeting<br />

with updates from the membership<br />

team. Our Region added 18 new<br />

members in October. Our year to<br />

date total is 125, great news! John<br />

also provided an update regarding the<br />

upcoming Founders’ Day event, which<br />

will feature a silent auction benefitting<br />

the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House (a<br />

lot of alliteration there). Should be<br />

another great event! Lastly, John mentioned<br />

that Richard Bradley, our award<br />

winning <strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor, is interested<br />

in receiving any information/photos<br />

from the recent Rennsport Reunion.<br />

Travis Howard described the recent<br />

Time Trial (TT) on October 23,<br />

which was well attended. He also<br />

updated the group regarding the<br />

rescheduled Autocross (AX) event on<br />

<strong>December</strong> 10th in Mineral Wells.<br />

Jim Falgout reported that $6,375<br />

still needs to be paid by advertisers.<br />

He is looking forward to reviewing<br />

the financial situation after the<br />

proceeds from our Club Race in<br />

late October have been processed.<br />

Pat Friend noted that he would<br />

contact the advertisers with<br />

outstanding balances.<br />

Brendan Eagan described plans for<br />

a “Westside” Sunday Driving Tour<br />

in 2012 encompassing the area West<br />

and North of Ft.Worth. Sounds like<br />

a lot of fun to me. Brendan also<br />

updated the group on the October<br />

marketing campaign, which includes<br />

providing new Porsche owner’s copies<br />

of <strong>Slipstream</strong>, our Maverick Region<br />

brochure, and Panorama. If you are a<br />

new Porsche owner and would like to<br />

Mike Brodigan noted that the recent<br />

Club Race and Drivers’ Education<br />

event worked out well. The weather<br />

was perfect! Mike mentioned that<br />

Mike Farrar and Pat Heptig would be<br />

joining the DE team to promote these<br />

events. Excellent! Mike described an<br />

idea to reorganize the DE groups into<br />

novice, intermediate and advanced<br />

for future DE events in 2012. Plans<br />

are underway for an introduction to<br />

DE event next year as well. Excellent<br />

again! Lastly, Mike noted that<br />

a one-day combination TT and DE<br />

event would be held on June 2, 2012.<br />

Wendy Shoffit announced that<br />

registration for the October Club Race<br />

was 49 and DE was 41. Mark your<br />

calendars for the 2012 race, which<br />

will be held on October 27, 2012.<br />

Carey Spreen announced the success<br />

of the recent Sunday Driving Tour<br />

and Rally to San Martino Winery<br />

on Oct. 23rd. He described plans<br />

for an upcoming “Hare and Hound”<br />

Rally in March 2012. Knowing<br />

Carey this will be a lot of fun.<br />

Linda Bambina reported on the 50th<br />

Anniversary events and activities. She<br />

is seeking a location to stage a photo<br />

for the anniversary event. Her requirements<br />

are to have a platform about 30<br />

to 40 feet high and a large enough area<br />

to position several Porsches for the<br />

photo shoot. Knowing Linda this will<br />

be a fun event and a great memento<br />

for our club. If you know of such a<br />

location please contact her at bina42@<br />

tx.rr.com. If you have any historical<br />

articles, memories, or Maverick<br />

Region photos to share with the region<br />

please contact her at that address as<br />

well. Lastly, Linda mentioned she<br />

was able to contact 100% of all of<br />

the previous Selcer Award winners to<br />

introduce herself and gain their feedback/participation<br />

as well. Great job!<br />

Charlie and Teri Davis presented<br />

some concept ideas regarding a<br />

new Maverick Region logo. They<br />

presented an excellent review of the<br />

evolution of the current Maverick<br />

Region badge and provided some<br />

much needed context regarding this.<br />

Those in attendance were treated to<br />

a lot of history about the Maverick<br />

Region in this discussion. Stay tuned<br />

for more information on this subject.<br />

Lastly, Chris Christensen informed<br />

the group that the Happy Hour dates<br />

Rennsport Reunion IV<br />

By Wendy Shoffit<br />

Porsche Rennsport<br />

(German for<br />

“Race Sport”)<br />

Reunion began in 2001,<br />

an amazing display<br />

of Porsches old and<br />

new, held at Lime<br />

Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut.<br />

Porsche had been looking for a way<br />

to continue their company’s 50th<br />

anniversary celebration. They wanted<br />

the people to be able to not only look<br />

at the historical cars, but also be able<br />

to touch them and meet the drivers<br />

who helped make them famous. That<br />

first year there were over 100 cars,<br />

many of which were in “museum”<br />

condition. A few thousand attendees<br />

showed up to revel in the greatness.<br />

Three years later, RR II was held<br />

at Daytona International Speedway,<br />

the site of Porsche’s first overall<br />

victory in an international 24-<br />

hour sports car endurance race in<br />

1968 (Rolex 24). The festivities<br />

included on track competition, plus<br />

a concours d’elegance (entrance by<br />

invitation only), and other special<br />

activities commemorating the 50th<br />

anniversary of the 356 and 550<br />

Spyder and the 40th anniversary<br />

of the 911. What a year!<br />

Daytona was such a grand success,<br />

Porsche decided to do it again three<br />

years later, in 2007. Continually rising<br />

in popularity, larger crowds than<br />

ever were expected. That year’s event<br />

highlighted the 917 and celebrated<br />

the 25th anniversary of the 956/962.<br />

PCA’s own Betty Jo Turner, editor<br />

of Panorama, was co-grand marshal<br />

along with PCNA’s President and<br />

CEO, Peter Schwarzenbauer.<br />

Three more years passed since RR<br />

Photos Courtesy of PCNA, Inc.<br />

IV and enthusiasts had been eagerly<br />

anticipating the start of RR IV. This<br />

year, the location was moved to<br />

Laguna Seca in Monterey, California.<br />

Crowds were estimated to be the<br />

biggest yet. They were right. More<br />

than 35,000 spectators were on hand<br />

for this unforgettable event. Included<br />

amongst them were the Shoffit clan...<br />

all three of us. Once again there were<br />

co-grand marshals at this event, actor<br />

Jerry Seinfeld and Norbert Singer,<br />

retired Porsche Engineer. Seinfeld has<br />

a significant collection of Porsches,<br />

including the first production 911<br />

(1964), the last production air-cooled<br />

911 (a 1998 993) that he bought<br />

The one and only # 20!<br />

from the factory, the 917K that Steve<br />

McQueen drove in the movie LeMans,<br />

and others. Seinfeld brought a number<br />

of his most prized cars to Laguna<br />

Seca for display. Norbert Singer is<br />

considered one of Porsche’s most<br />

brilliant innovators and he was on hand<br />

Where else can you follow a 550 Spyder<br />

into the track, only to be passed by a<br />

959, avoiding a Carrera GT ...<br />

to sign autographs, and talk about the<br />

inspiration behind his designs and<br />

how he was the only Porsche racing<br />

engineer to have contributed to each<br />

of the brand’s 16 LeMans victories.<br />

Never have I seen such a spectacular<br />

collection of Porsches. I’ve been to<br />

11 Porsche Parades and the Porsche<br />

Museum in Stuttgart, Germany.<br />

Maybe if you add them all up, it<br />

could equal the spectacularness of the<br />

one event, but I’ve never been able<br />

to get as close to these cars without<br />

security being called. Throughout the<br />

three day event, nearly every time I<br />

turned around I gasped at the next<br />

scene. Where else can you follow<br />

a 550 Spyder into the track, only<br />

to be passed by a 959, avoiding a<br />

Carrera GT on the way to looking at<br />

a bunch of 917s? It was amazing.<br />

There were eight total run groups<br />

for the racers to fit into, including two<br />

that were specifically for PCA Club<br />

Racers. Over 260 racers tried to sign<br />

up for Club Racing groups 7 & 8 (90+<br />

in the first MINUTE registration was<br />

open), but only 94 total were allowed<br />

in, leaving 170+ on the waiting list.<br />

Several Maverick members actually<br />

made it in, including Jim Buckley,<br />

Doug Bielefeld, Billy Stevens, and<br />

Chuck Cole. What a thrill it must have<br />

been for those guys to drive on such a<br />

historic track at such a historic event.<br />

This was our first time to Laguna<br />

Seca and to Rennsport Reunion, but<br />

you can guarantee it won’t be our<br />

last. Over the course of the weekend,<br />

we watched the racing from several<br />

vantage points. Some were closer<br />

up with fences in the way, others<br />

10

were farther away, making it tough<br />

to see car numbers, but by far the<br />

most spectacular viewing spot was<br />

waaaaaaay at the top of the hill,<br />

watching the famous “corkscrew.”<br />

I can tell you now that there is no<br />

possible way for you to comprehend<br />

the intensity of that turn by watching<br />

it on TV or seeing still photos. I’m<br />

certain that on track it’s even more<br />

amazing with an unmatched “pucker<br />

factor.” James and I were almost<br />

able to get hot laps on track in a GT3<br />

driven by professional instructors,<br />

but sadly it fell through. Just too<br />

many people and too little time.<br />

Anyway, this event was the definition<br />

of sensory overload. Walking through<br />

the paddock took hours to even try to<br />

take it all in. In the background you<br />

could hear and see the racing groups<br />

on track. Overlay that sound with the<br />

announcers on speaker talking a bit<br />

about the history, interviewing the<br />

great drivers and personalities there,<br />

and giving info about the cars on<br />

track. Add to all of that something<br />

they call “vendor row,” which was a<br />

curving row of one tent after another<br />

filled with stuff to buy. Parts, racing<br />

gear, shirts, souvenir merchandise<br />

(they sold out way too early), food,<br />

drinks, artwork, books, vintage<br />

posters, and even these fun purses<br />

made from seat belt straps. Yeah, I<br />

know... crazy! Oh, and did I mention<br />

the hot air balloon and helicopter<br />

rides? Yeah, they had those, too!<br />

The place was enormous and we<br />

were lucky they had complimentary<br />

shuttle golf cars to help get us to the<br />

farther reaches. Of course, donations<br />

to the Wounded Veterans Association<br />

were graciously accepted. Believe<br />

me, we were thrilled to get a ride and<br />

happy to contribute. They even had<br />

courtesy Cayennes that would take<br />

you to the top of the corkscrew where<br />

more vendors were to help keep you<br />

fed, hydrated, and fully stocked.<br />

While the event was primarily<br />

hosted by Porsche, PCA had a strong<br />

presence. Laguna Seca has an island<br />

in the middle of the paddock, normally<br />

providing food service to visitors.<br />

PCA took over this spot, surrounding<br />

it with beautiful Caymans on display,<br />

thereby dubbing it “Cayman Island.”<br />

It was very impressive, complete with<br />

flags, banners, and a great hospitality<br />

tent. PCA volunteers were the ones to<br />

set up the paddock parking areas. One<br />

parking lot for 911s, one for Boxsters,<br />

914s over here... 356es over there...<br />

you get the picture. It was impressive.<br />

Not only did PCA provide a tent, but<br />

they had free water and sodas for PCA<br />

members. At $4 a bottle elsewhere, it<br />

was a welcome sight. Each day they<br />

had set up a schedule of activities, as<br />

well. Friday they had a Q&A session<br />

with some of the historic drivers<br />

who were lucky enough to pilot the<br />

917, including Vic Elford. Saturday<br />

they had several sessions: one with<br />

key members on the 991 project,<br />

another with Dr. Wolfgang Porsche<br />

and Hans Hermann, and the last one<br />

of the day was more current drivers,<br />

including Kees Nierop and Dick<br />

Barbour. The final Q&A session was<br />

one with legendary Porsche engineers,<br />

including Norbert Singer. We were<br />

fortunate that PCNA arranged<br />

these sessions for PCA members.<br />

<strong>December</strong> 11

Porsche also took this opportunity<br />

to unveil their new 991, the sixth<br />

generation of the most successful<br />

model in its history. The new 911<br />

has the first ever seven-speed manual<br />

gearbox. That way you can tell your<br />

friends, “Mine goes to seven!” It has<br />

a large LCD touchscreen, an obvious<br />

influence of the Panamera. Although<br />

it’s a larger car, it weighs about 100<br />

pounds less than the 997. It’s 3.9<br />

inches longer, sits lower, and has a<br />

wider front track. The base model<br />

will include a 350 hp flat six (top<br />

speed of 180 mph) and an S version<br />

with 400 hp. The PDK transmission<br />

will also be offered in this model.<br />

It is expected that in the years to<br />

come there will be a Cabriolet, C4,<br />

Turbo, 4S, GT2, and GT3 version,<br />

as well. Rumor has it that there are<br />

even plans for a hybrid version. The<br />

overall styling is still very much the<br />

same and initially the differences<br />

are subtle. But isn’t that what we all<br />

want? Nothing too dramatic, but still<br />

all 911. I’ll have mine in red, please!<br />

If you couldn’t tell before, Rennsport<br />

Reunion IV was simply an awesome<br />

event. It’s going to be hard to wait<br />

another three years for the next one,<br />

but you can bet that the Shoffit clan<br />

will be there once again! Well done,<br />

Porsche and PCA! Well done.<br />

A red 991<br />

Veterans’ Day Parade<br />

By John Hamilton<br />

On Tuesday, November 8th an<br />

email went out to Maverick<br />

Region members asking for<br />

support for the Dallas Veterans’ Day<br />

Parade. The Parade organizers had<br />

contacted us because they were overwhelmed<br />

with veterans who wanted<br />

to ride in the parade, leaving them 20<br />

cars short. By Friday, Veterans’ Day,<br />

we had exactly 20 volunteers with their<br />

Porsches who drove Veterans in the<br />

parade. One of the parade organizers,<br />

Don Munson, wrote to us:<br />

“On behalf of the Board of Directors<br />

and the members of the Dallas Veterans<br />

Day Parade committee, allow me<br />

to extend my deepest and most sincere<br />

Robby Campbell WWII veteran Okinawa with<br />

Glen Gatlin.<br />

appreciation for volunteering to provide<br />

your vehicles to support our <strong>2011</strong><br />

Parade.<br />

More than one hundred and eighty<br />

(180) World War II veterans were able<br />

to be honored due to your generosity<br />

and kind support.<br />

The only thing more heartwarming<br />

than the sight of 180 WW II veterans<br />

“Passing in Review,” was the smile on<br />

their faces as they received the admiration<br />

and applause of 30,000 spectators,<br />

who cheered them as they passed. It<br />

was a beautiful sight.<br />

Richard Schrader and Norris Rogers<br />

a navigator on B29 missions in the<br />

South Pacific.<br />

Words are inadequate to express our<br />

heartfelt appreciation, so I will simply<br />

say: Thank You, - one and all.”<br />

Don B. Munson<br />

Lt Colonel, US Army (Ret)<br />

Past Chairman<br />

Dallas Veterans Day Parade<br />

One of the responses from one of our<br />

drivers, David Nelson was:<br />

“The honor was mine. It was a proud<br />

moment to spend a few hours with an<br />

American hero! Thanks for the opportunity.”<br />

Bill Gross’s comments on the Veterans’<br />

Day Parade:<br />

I changed some scheduling for Friday,<br />

after the request for support to the<br />

Veteran’s Day Parade. Got there around<br />

9AM lots of Corvettes, one parade<br />

official said 180 of them. No number<br />

on the Porsches or BMWs.<br />

I drove a WWII Vet who had served in<br />

the 8th AF. For those who don’t have<br />

strong knowledge of the 8th, they were<br />

the guys who flew mainly from England<br />

in bombing raids over Germany.<br />

Casualty rates were pretty high in the<br />

8th. One of the Master of Ceremonies<br />

commented on the irony of WWII Veterans<br />

riding in Porsches and BMWs.<br />

One interesting side note, next to us<br />

in the parade through town was a late<br />

1950s Cadillac that made it almost to<br />

City Hall then stalled. Initially two bystanders<br />

came out and started pushing<br />

the beast. By the time we made it to the<br />

reviewing stand there were seven folks<br />

pushing it.<br />

The San Martino Photo Rally & Sunday Drive<br />

By George Luxbacher<br />

Memorize a large group<br />

of thirty pictures, go for<br />

beautiful drive in the<br />

countryside and then add an element<br />

of stress – put the pictures in order as<br />

you see them during the drive, earning<br />

points, at the same time following<br />

cryptic directions designed to complicate<br />

life. Sound like fun? It is!!!<br />

Dee and I did a few TSD rallies<br />

back in Kentucky – time, speed, and<br />

distance with those cryptic directions<br />

thrown in. We established a<br />

routine (after the first disaster) to<br />

keep us out of divorce court – Dee<br />

drives and I’m the navigator. Since<br />

coming to Texas and joining the<br />

Mavericks, I have become a big fan of<br />

Rally Meister Carey Spreen’s gimmick<br />

rallies – Dee has always been<br />

“unavailable” so the grandchildren<br />

and friends have stepped to the plate<br />

and served as navigators. With the<br />

gimmick being the photos, instead<br />

of the time/speed/distance complication,<br />

you have to find the scenes<br />

At least that one had ice cream at the<br />

end, although I do admit I favor wine.<br />

that correspond to the pictures and<br />

number them correctly in order and<br />

did I mention the cryptic direction?<br />

The October Gimmick Rally was<br />

combined with one of Tour Meister<br />

On the back deck at San Martino with good<br />

friends and a little wine.<br />

16<br />

John Harvey’s popular Sunday Drives<br />

staging out at 2 minute intervals.<br />

for the second time this year. Both<br />

So what happened? The two groups<br />

the Photo Rally and the Sunday drive<br />

never crossed paths until the very end,<br />

started at the Interurban Railway<br />

more Porsches drove through Nevada<br />

Museum in Plano, routed through<br />

(TX that is) than ever before, and the<br />

Nevada (Nevada, TX that is) and<br />

rally group tried to keep from getting<br />

wound up at the scenic San Martino<br />

too lost. As the 5 cars in the Rally<br />

Winery in Rockwall. You could<br />

group straggled into the winery one<br />

choose which way to get there: John’s<br />

by one well before the tour group<br />

well planned route, following the<br />

(60 miles vs. 90 miles or so), it was<br />

leader with map in hand (even GPS<br />

programmed),<br />

or Carey’s<br />

“challenge.”<br />

While there were<br />

some storms in<br />

the area the night<br />

before (and hail<br />

under the trees<br />

at the assembly<br />

point), the day<br />

quickly turned<br />

Let’s round them up and head them out for another fabulous<br />

into a “cabriolet<br />

Rally/Sunday Drive combo...<br />

day” (OK, maybe<br />

a little cloudy and overcast, but it is<br />

obvious that our Rally Meister had<br />

easier to look for the picture subjects<br />

succeeded in putting together a great<br />

with the top down – 360 degree view).<br />

Rally that challenged us all! After<br />

the Tour group arrived we quickly<br />

took over the entire winery property<br />

by, assembling for a picnic lunch and<br />

a sampling of the “big, bold, full-<br />

As the group divided for pre-drive<br />

bodied” wines that San Martino is<br />

instructions, John was surrounded<br />

by his typical crowd<br />

while Carey didn’t<br />

have to raise his voice:<br />

only five brave driver/<br />

navigator pairs were<br />

willing to take the<br />

“Spreen Challenge!”<br />

While John passed<br />

out maps, Carey<br />

handed our sealed<br />

Carey Spreen, Christy Payne, Tom Froehlich & Lisa Steele<br />

brown envelopes with<br />

enjoying their picnic!<br />

“cryptic directions”<br />

justifiably proud of. Then came the<br />

and “obscure photos.” The Tour<br />

Photo Rally awards ceremony: 1st,<br />

departed first in a massive traffic jam,<br />

2nd and 3rd place medals for driver<br />

while the Rally participants huddled<br />

and navigator (individual medals on<br />

in their cars and tried to memorize all<br />

ribbons just in case they are no longer<br />

30 photos in the 15 minutes before<br />

speaking to each other, that is Rally

planning!) and a last place award “to<br />

do better next time.” First place went<br />

to Greg and Robin Himebauch, who<br />

found 28 pictures. They were the only<br />

rally participants who actually read<br />

the Rally Meister instructions as well<br />

as trying to memorize photos. When<br />

the general instructions tell you to<br />

prioritize Business Route 78 N, that<br />

is the way you were supposed to go<br />

when the opportunity arises. Greg &<br />

Robin figured that out, but the rest of<br />

us? We didn’t have a clue! They still<br />

managed to get lost though along the<br />

way and were off the official route<br />

mileage by 6.44 miles. Second place<br />

went to Arthur and Jennifer Salmon,<br />

3rd to Dee and me and yes, Dee did go<br />

along and was still somewhat speaking<br />

to me at the end. Last place to a father/<br />

son team, Clark & Bob Terrill, while<br />

the 4th place finishers, Jeff and Kim<br />

van Sicklen, did not get medals, but<br />

still had a significant accomplishment;<br />

they were only 0.82 miles off the<br />

official mileage. The rest of us ranged<br />

from 1.66 to 12.17 miles off! How<br />

many photos was the group able to<br />

identify? The count ranged from 23<br />

(4th and 5th place) to the previously<br />

mentioned 28 1st place, not bad<br />

when you realize that 4 out of 5 cars<br />

Wine tasting after a wonderful drive through Nevada, TX.<br />

missed a critical part of the trip<br />

Drive, you really should highlight it on<br />

down Business Rt. 78 N!<br />

your calendar and as to Carey’s<br />

Whether you went on the Rally<br />

gimmick Rallies, you have to do a<br />

or Sunday Drive, this was a great<br />

walk on the wild side occasionally! I<br />

event. I was surprised at the quality<br />

know he has another “Hare and<br />

of the San Martino wine, had a great<br />

Hound” Rally upcoming – the last one<br />

tour of the facility by the proprietor,<br />

got real interesting when a bunch of<br />

Emilio Ramos, and wound up join-<br />

local high school students followed the<br />

ing their Wine Club. Judging by<br />

“hare,” picking up light sticks that<br />

the number of bottles of wine that<br />

were used to mark the correct night<br />

were purchased and the line at the<br />

time route. Guess how easy it is to<br />

tasting counter, my fellow Maver-<br />

get lost when the critical road markicks<br />

enjoyed it as much as I did.<br />

ings are gone! At least that one had<br />

ice cream at the end, although I do<br />

If you haven’t been on a Sunday<br />

admit I favor wine.<br />

A Martini on Halloween<br />

By Pat Heptig<br />

Photos by John Sandusky<br />

The annual Maverick Region<br />

Club Race was held on<br />

Halloween weekend this<br />

year at Eagles Canyon Raceway.<br />

In years past, the race has been<br />

held on Memorial Day weekend,<br />

but was moved to the cooler days<br />

of October in order to escape the<br />

brutal summer heat that is even<br />

more oppressive in full race gear.<br />

In view of the killer heat wave<br />

this past summer – smart move.<br />

As the incoming co-chair for the<br />

Maverick Club Race for next year,<br />

I was given access to the inner<br />

workings of the local Club Race<br />

“star chamber.” It was impressive to<br />

see the teamwork and commitment<br />

by the entire club race committee,<br />

including Co-Chairs Bill Miller<br />

and Joel Nannis, and all of the<br />

other committee members, Wendy<br />

Shoffit, Bob Benson, Lisa Steele,<br />

Phil Hallenbeck, Keith Olcha,<br />

Michael Wingfield, Travis Howard,<br />

and the many other dedicated<br />

volunteers and sponsors who made<br />

the race a smooth and successful<br />

event. Don’t kid yourself, this<br />

race would not happen without<br />

them. My hat’s off to everyone<br />

for a great event. I look forward<br />

to working with the team next<br />

year on the Club Race, which will<br />

be at MotorSport Ranch next fall.<br />

We have two great race tracks in<br />

our region. To take advantage<br />

of this, we are alternating race<br />

venues each year going forward.<br />

The ECR Club Race was the<br />

last race of <strong>2011</strong> in our neck of<br />

the woods. A time to burn up<br />

the last of your tires and claim<br />

bragging rights for the winter.<br />

The weather was great. My E-Class<br />

911 Euro SC, sporting “Martini”<br />

colors, was running well. Fellow<br />

E-Class racers Jeff Wiggins, Bill<br />

Miller, Toby Pennycuff, and Mark<br />

Steele were also in the field and<br />

running strong. During the warmup<br />

sessions on Saturday, I ran a<br />

2:01.6 lap time, which was just<br />

0.1 seconds off of Jim Buckley’s<br />

E-Class track record. So, I was<br />

feeling pretty good (especially<br />

since Buckley was running his<br />

Spec Boxster this weekend.)<br />

Well, that feeling didn’t last long<br />

because Wiggins laid down a<br />

smoking 2:00.2 lap time during<br />

qualifying, setting a new track<br />

record! Wiggins gridded first<br />

in E-Class and I gridded second<br />

with a 2:01.6. Again, the stage<br />

was set for a great race and I<br />

had my work cut out for me.<br />

In Sprint 1 on Saturday, the<br />

E-Class 911s were gridded in the<br />

middle of Cup Cars, Spec 996s,<br />

and other high-powered race<br />

machines. The start was hectic and<br />

the Spec 996s and G and H class<br />

cars got a jump on me, but we all<br />

converged at the quick right-hand<br />

turn at the end of the starting<br />

straight. Cars were side-by-side<br />

through the next 3 to 4 turns, but<br />

I was able to work my way up to<br />

Wiggins in the crowd. I stayed<br />

on his bumper from there on. I<br />

was a bit quicker than Wiggins,<br />

but Wiggins drove a defensive<br />

line making his car “very wide,”<br />

negating my speed advantage. I<br />

kept on him, pressuring him to<br />

make a mistake, but he never did.<br />

I had a couple of opportunities<br />

to get by Wiggins, but I made<br />

some strategic mistakes and was<br />

not able to take advantage of<br />

them. Little did I realize that I<br />

was being schooled by Wiggins.<br />

He did a great job fending me off.<br />

I learned from this race and had<br />

a blast at the same time. Wiggins<br />

finished first in E-class and I took<br />

second, just 0.2 seconds behind.<br />

“Oh well,” I thought, I can get him<br />

on Sunday. {Wiggins published<br />

a video showing his success in<br />

fending me off in Sprint 1, (http://<br />

tinyurl.com/heptig). I will have to<br />

figure out how to return the favor.}<br />

After the race, Wiggins and I<br />

shared a beer and swapped stories<br />

about Spec 996s and particular<br />

turns and moves. Others who<br />

had watched the race came by to<br />

congratulate us both and to say<br />

how much fun it was to watch.<br />

While everyone was telling stories,<br />

Bryan Henderson, (PCA Club Race<br />

Chairman) made the comment that<br />

PCA Club Racing is the only club<br />

where racers are fierce competitors<br />

on the track, but are friends who<br />

share stories and a beer after the<br />

race. I think that’s what makes<br />

PCA Club Racing unique and fun.<br />

While I thought I would have a<br />

chance to get even with Wiggins<br />

on Sunday, my car said otherwise.<br />

I developed a wheel bearing<br />

problem in the Sunday morning<br />

warm-up session that took me<br />

out of the races. I had a backup<br />

plan though, my old race car, a<br />

1987 911 Carrera. (And yes, I am<br />

still married.) I brought my old<br />

race car to the track to run an<br />

experiment to test a proposed rule<br />

18

change for the E-Class Carreras,<br />

namely taking 200 lbs out to make<br />

it competitive with the faster<br />

Euro SC’s. I was going to run it<br />

in the very last race of the day,<br />

but plans changed. With a lot<br />

of help from fellow racers, Bill<br />

Miller, Jim Buckley, and Wiggins,<br />

we took parts off the Carrera to<br />

drop 200 lbs. and swapped in<br />

parts from the Martini car to make<br />

the Carrera race worthy, all in<br />

less than an hour. It looked like 4<br />

big kids working on a giant Lego<br />

set. Parts and tools everywhere.<br />

After clearing things with the race<br />

stewards, I was ready to run the<br />

featured sprint race on Sunday.<br />

Since I had not qualified in the<br />

car, I was gridded at the rear of the<br />

pack as a “GT4S” car since I was<br />

too light for E-class. It felt great<br />

to be back in the Carrera. To make<br />

the experiment genuine, Wiggins,<br />

who races a Euro SC, gridded<br />

in the back with me. Miller was<br />

going to grid his Carrera as<br />

well, but his car developed lastminute<br />

problems and could not<br />

run. At the start of the sprint, I<br />

made my way to the front of the<br />

pack, with Wiggins close on my<br />

tail; he could not hang with me<br />

for long. Mark one up for the<br />

Carreras! The experiment was<br />

a success – a lightened Carrera<br />

is in fact competitive with the<br />

Euro SC. I took first in GT4S<br />

class and Wiggins took first in<br />

E-class. There is no doubt that a<br />

weight reduction for the Carreras<br />

will breathe new life into the<br />

E-class race series next year.<br />

The next race was the one-hour<br />

Enduro, with all 50 race cars in one<br />

race. This time Wiggins gridded<br />

up front with the Cup Cars and I<br />

was gridded in the very back of the<br />

pack. (I had no official lap times<br />

in the sprint because we forgot to<br />

swap the timing transponder from<br />

the Martini. D’oh!) The race was a<br />

blast from the green flag. I was on<br />

a mission to catch Wiggins. After<br />

30 minutes, I had him in sight, but<br />

then he pitted for his mandatory<br />

5-minute pit stop. I powered<br />

on and pitted about 10 minutes<br />

later. When I came out of the pits,<br />

I entered the track less than 30<br />

yards ahead of Wiggins. The race<br />

was on again! But he could not<br />

catch me. At the checkered flag,<br />

I took first in GT4S and Wiggins<br />

took first in E-class. Another<br />

proverbial win for the Carreras!<br />

Apparently, it was obvious I was<br />

having fun out there. I received<br />

the coveted “Corner Workers<br />

Award” for the Enduro. Many<br />

thanks to all the corner workers<br />

for the award. It’s definitely going<br />

up on my wall. ECR was a great<br />

race to end the season. Thanks<br />

to everyone who made it happen.<br />

See you at the track next year.<br />

I still need a martini. Who’s with<br />

me?<br />

Cliff’s Ramblings<br />

By Cliff Blackshear<br />

One Moment In Time That Somehow You Never Forget<br />

Y<br />

ou know<br />

how<br />

sometimes<br />

things that happen<br />

in your life etch into<br />

the memory bank<br />

and ya never really<br />

know why something<br />

that now seems insignificant stays<br />

with you for life? Here is one<br />

of those memories I have…<br />

Boulder Colorado. Test driving a<br />

1981 928 for some reason. Do not<br />

remember what I was checking on.<br />

It was a near brand new car. Had<br />

a 3 speed automatic transmission.<br />

It was the first automatic 928<br />

I had driven. Back in that era<br />

almost no one bought a car with<br />

an automatic and lived in or near<br />

the mountains. Any car would<br />

constantly shift up and down in<br />

the mountain terrain. Be on the<br />

throttle up hills and revs were up,<br />

lower gear automatically selected.<br />

Let off the throttle prior to a turn<br />

and it up shifted to the next gear.<br />

Exit the corner and get back in the<br />

throttle demanding torque for the<br />

upward climb and it downshifted.<br />

Up shift, down shift, up shift, down<br />

shift, it was annoying and very<br />

much no fun to drive any automatic<br />

in the mountains. The computer<br />

monitored systems of today are<br />

probably much better in that<br />

arena. I honestly do not know as I<br />

have not driven a PDK car there.<br />

The PDK car of today would be<br />

looking at steering angles, braking<br />

g forces, angle of car etc. Plus you<br />

could easily put it in manual mode<br />

and enjoy the 250 millisecond<br />

shifts. Manual mode in the older<br />

slush shift cars was very limited in<br />

performance levels it could achieve.<br />

So I’m driving this 928 automatic<br />

near my dealer on the road that<br />

leads to Denver. Highway 36.<br />

Leaving Boulder on this road<br />

starts out with multiple red lights<br />

and ultimately becomes a 4 lane<br />

divided highway. So I’m cruising<br />

towards a red light and a pick-up<br />

with 454 CID decals on the side<br />

pulls up next to me, slows down<br />

and then accelerates away hard.<br />

Slows down and does it again.<br />

To that point in time I had not<br />

planted my foot into the injection<br />

system to see how a 928 automatic<br />

would accelerate. Normally I<br />

would just ignore such a challenge.<br />

After all I was doing my job in<br />

someone else’s car and should<br />

only drive as long as needed to<br />

either verify a repair or verify a<br />

symptom of irregular performance.<br />

We stop at the light and I just had<br />

to see what was gonna happen.<br />

Light turns green and I pin the<br />

throttle. 454 jumps out 3-4 car<br />

lengths ahead coming off the line.<br />

928 comes off idle and finally gets<br />

in the cams bout 3500 R’s. 454<br />

stops pulling away. Near redline<br />

in first gear I pull next to him and<br />

when automatic shifted to second<br />

started pulling away. Next light<br />

turns red. I waited to last minute<br />

and jumped into the binders.<br />

Had to wait about 2-3 seconds<br />

for him to come to a stop next<br />

to me. Light turns green and we<br />

repeat the whole thing. Hit the<br />

last light and wait. I know that<br />

after this light there are no more<br />

stops and above 80 mph I’m<br />

gonna suck out his headlights.<br />

Off we go and he has to slow for<br />

a car in his lane. I slow and wait<br />

for him. He pulls up along side<br />

and about that time an unmarked<br />

CHP comes down the entrance<br />

lane next to me. 454 has just come<br />

alongside and buried the throttle.<br />

Quickly I hit the button to roll<br />

down my window and stick my<br />

arm out. Gave him a push back<br />

motion. He hit the brakes and saw<br />

the Highway Patrol unmarked car.<br />

We both slowed to about 20 mph<br />

below speed limit and watched<br />

patrol car move away. 454 driver<br />

then smiled and waved a gratitude<br />

of thanks for my warning. Next I<br />

get back to what I’m supposed to<br />

be doing. These things happen.<br />

It is interesting to me that little<br />

moments in time stay with you so<br />

vividly. I think this event stayed<br />

burned into my brain because it<br />

was the first automatic 928 I had<br />

driven. I had become the 928<br />

gearbox guy in our shop because<br />

the original 1978 manual trans cars<br />

were so fraught with problems. I<br />

repaired a ton of them. Made my<br />

own Z1 distance tool for that trans.<br />

Z1 is an important measurement<br />

in that gearbox.<br />

I fell in love with the 928 as a<br />

Porsche tech simply because I<br />

always felt it absolutely met the<br />

design goals laid out for it. The S<br />

model, S4 model, GT model and<br />

GTS models were fun to receive<br />

and prep when new. Course I could<br />

say the same for the 944, 968, etc.<br />

Someday I would like to share<br />

911 experiences here. Like<br />

entering wide sweepers in mid<br />

70’s cars with 185 tires and triple<br />

digits. Tail trying to come around,<br />

throttle planted and knowing<br />

this is not the time to make a<br />

mistake. Scared myself many<br />

times and look back; what the<br />

hell was I thinking? It happens.<br />

Havin fun still, but uuhhhh<br />

toned it down as I’ve matured!<br />

Member Spotlight: Stormy Boudreaux<br />

Andrea Bell, Public Relations Chair<br />

This month our<br />

new member<br />

spotlight is on<br />

Stormy Boudreaux.<br />

Stormy just recently<br />

acquired a <strong>2011</strong><br />

Guards Red Boxster<br />

S from Autobahn. While this car<br />

is new to him, he is definitely not<br />

new to Porsches. He has over 40<br />

years experience in owning and<br />

maintaining his own Porches.<br />

Stormy added that he first joined<br />

PCA in 1968. He was in Enid, OK<br />

for the USAF Pilot Training program<br />

and had just purchased a new dark<br />

green 1969 912/5 in Oklahoma City.<br />

He said it was a wonderful car! As<br />

he reminisced, he shared, “Once<br />

while crossing Nevada on I-80,<br />

(before the current speed limits were<br />

instituted), I averaged 100 MPH and<br />

20 MPG from Salt Lake to Reno.”<br />

In chronological order, Stormy has<br />

owned a white 1958 Speedster 1600<br />

Normal, Conga Green 1971 911T<br />

Coupe, Ruby Red 1961 Roadster 1600<br />

Super, and a Quartz Grey 1983 911SC<br />

Targa. He sold the Roadster in 2001<br />

to purchase a house in California.<br />

However, he said he realized he has<br />

been without a Porsche for too long.<br />

Stormy works at the Lockheed<br />

Martin plant in Fort<br />

Worth as an aircraft<br />

cockpit design<br />

engineer and simulator<br />

instructor pilot for<br />

the latest fighter, the<br />

F-35. He added that<br />

he has flown jets<br />

for 24 years in the<br />

USAF. Again, he<br />

reminisced, “When I<br />

was a SR-71 Pilot, my<br />

back-seater owned a<br />

944 while I had the ‘61 Roadster and<br />

‘83 911. We were quite a team in<br />

the air and driving around town!”<br />

Please join me in extending a warm<br />

welcome to Stormy and our own<br />

Maverick Region family. If you are a<br />

new member and would like to be<br />

considered for our monthly<br />

“SPOTLIGHT” feature, please contact<br />

Happy Hour - Blue Mesa Grill<br />

Article and photo by Mike Farrar<br />

There’s nothing like Tex-Mex and Mavericks!<br />

We had 30 members make<br />

their way to Blue Mesa’s<br />

signature restaurant in<br />

the Northpark area. Once there,<br />

we were brought free appetizers<br />

along with cold cervezas and<br />

blue margaritas. What a way to<br />

start the evening! There were<br />

lively discussions on driving in<br />

DE events, the upcoming Sunday<br />

Drive to view Christmas lights in<br />

Highland Park,<br />

as well as some<br />

Autocross talk.<br />

That reminds me,<br />

don’t forget the<br />

re-scheduled AX/<br />

TT Celebration<br />

& Awards dinner<br />

on January 14th.<br />

You can view the<br />

details in this<br />

month’s <strong>Slipstream</strong><br />

or on our website. A couple<br />

other members were discussing<br />

better ways of cleaning for one<br />

of our Concours events. The<br />

win is in the details when it<br />

comes to a concours. We followed<br />

up with a great dinner, got<br />

to make new friends as well<br />

as build on our relationships<br />

with some of the regulars.<br />

I’d like to personally thank several<br />

new members that joined us this<br />

month, including Paul and Victoria<br />

Ramos who drove in their 1999<br />

911, Bill and Lois Langhenry<br />

also owning a 1999 911, as<br />

well as, Amber Wagenknecht<br />

in her 2004 911 turbo.<br />

Being the new Happy Hour<br />

chair, I would like to invite you to<br />

share any ideas or suggestions you<br />

might have for our happy hour<br />

socials. I have already been told I<br />

cannot have all the happy hours<br />

at Ruggeri’s Italian Kitchen, so<br />

I would love recommendations<br />

for other sites that you think<br />

would be a great location for us.<br />

Our next Happy Hour will be at<br />

the Bavarian Grill in <strong>December</strong><br />

and then on to Southlake at the<br />

Wildwood Grill for January’s HH.<br />

Two fun places so plan to come<br />

join your fellow Mavericks and me<br />

for a good night out and some<br />

good food.<br />

Your Porsche deserves a new home!<br />

Let me help you find one… .<br />

all who showed up to race and to those who came out to help<br />

support the club working corners, timing, grid, etc. While<br />

I was recovering from a broken foot and couldn’t drive, that<br />
