Drifting: Your Club Needs You! 

By John Hamilton, Region President 

Yes, your 

local Porsche 

Club needs a 

few more women 

and men to be 

involved and 

to fill in some 

of the volunteer 

positions that will become 

open at the end of the year: 

Autocross Chair: Responsible 

for scheduling and coordinating 

our Autocross events. 

Social Chair: Responsible 

for scheduling and coordinating 

our social events. 

Hospitality: Responsible for managing 

beverages and food at our 

Drivers’ Education, New Member/ 

All Member party and other events. 

Rally Chair: Responsible for 

scheduling, organizing, and 

executing Rally events, which 

are held on public roads at legal 

speeds. Like the other positions, it 

requires attention to detail. Also, 

familiarity with “Rally Lawyer”- 

style thinking is a plus! 

And there will be more 

opportunities for you to “give 

back” and support your club. 

Fortunately, all three of 

our retiring leads (plus the 

fourth who retired last year) 

are not going anywhere and 

are able to support our new 

volunteers as they transition 

into their new 

roles. But it’s time 

to “step-up” and 

offer to fill those 

roles so we can 

continue to drive 

so many successful 

events for all our 

members. Is it time 

for you? Please 

contact me at president@mavpca.org 

for more details. 

Mav of the 

Month 

Speaking of volunteers: sometimes 

people volunteer on the spur of 

the moment, not expecting any 

special recognition, but just jumping 

in because it’s the right thing 

to do. Such is the case this month, 

as occurred on a recent Sunday 

Drive. As always in these events, 

there is a lead car and a “sweep” 

(a driver who is last in line in the 

group in case someone gets lost or 

breaks down). On this occasion, 

our sweep discovered that one 

car had been left behind after the 

break and was separated from the 

group. The sweep stayed with that 

car (through a couple of wrong 

turns), made some phone calls, 

then guided the lost Porsche (and 

passengers) to the final destination 

only a few minutes late. 

Our hero? Don Sebert, who 

demonstrated his caring 

and concern about a fellow 

member. Don exemplified 

our motto: “It’s not just 

the cars; it’s the people!” 

Thank you Don, for coming 

when needed. Enjoy your gift 

card to the Silver Fox Steakhouse.

Carey On... 

By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor 

November 

is typically 

the 

month in which 

Maverick Region 

celebrates our 

anniversary with 

the Founders’ Day 

banquet, even though the official 

date that the Region came into 

being was December 24, 1962, 

according to the PCA charter. 

However, this year we are changing 

things up a bit. November turned 

out to be a bit too early for Founders’ 

Day this year, partly because 

our Keynote Speaker, David Hobbs, 

was not available for most of the 

month due to the Formula One 

season not finishing up until November 

25. So Founders’ Day got 

pushed back to Saturday, December 

1. See the preview on page 8. 

Not mentioned in that preview is 

our Charity Autocross, which will 

be held the next day, December 

2, at Texas Motor Speeedway. 

The proceeds from this event 

go to the Huffaker-Hughes 

Hope House, a shelter for battered 

women and children. 

Often at this event, our members 

bring out their “other” cars to see 

what they’ll do on the autocross 

course, and they can be amusing. 

Sedans, station wagons, trucks 

(some pulling trailers), and other 

unlikely vehicles have been known 

to compete, so if you have always 

wondered how that Ford Model 

T sitting in your garage would 

do in an autocross, December 2 

is the day to find out. And since 

David Hobbs will still be in town, 

who knows - maybe you can talk 

him into being your instructor! 

On a more national note, you 

may not have heard that Porsche 

Panorama, the PCA magazine, will 

have a new editor as of January 

1. Pete Stout, the Editor-in-Chief 

of Excellence magazine since 1998, 

will be taking over the reins 

from Betty Jo Turner, who held 

the position of Editor-in-Chief 

of Pano for over 42 years. Mr. 

Stout will also be the Director of 

Integrated Marketing for PCA. 

And finally I would like to introduce 

Slipstream’s newest advertiser, 

Jack Junkies, a do-it-yourself garage. 

They provide the workspace (18 

bays available), lift, and tools, and 

you do the work yourself. Or if you 

want, you can enlist the assistance 

one of their technicians. If you 

do your own automotive work, 

this sounds like a great idea.

Maverick Minutes 

By Madhu Rao, Region Secretary October 3, 2012 

Our October 

meeting 

started at 7:05pm. 

Region President 

John Hamilton 

welcomed the 

group, which was 

a bit smaller than 

normal. It could have been the 

Presidential debates, or the Rangers 

game, or the feelings associated 

with either, as the reason for the 

smaller number of attendees. 

John shared the following updates. 

First up, 2013 Board nominations. 

Nominating Committee Chair Lori 

Mauthe reports that a full slate of 

candidates has been identified for 

the 2013 Executive Council roles. 

That is excellent. I’d like to thank 

Lori and the committee for doing 

this so quickly. You’ll see the 

ballot in this issue. Please vote in 

person at Founders’ Day or mail 

the ballot to the address therein. 

Since Lori is also the Drivers’ 

Education Chair, John shared Lori’s 

update that the September 15-16 

Drivers’ Education (DE) weekend 

was well-attended and ran smoothly. 

The event featured activities in 

conjunction with the Big Brothers 

Big Sisters organization, and 

all had a good time. Holding a 

track walk was also reported to be 

helpful. Entrants for the Maverick 

Region Club Race are 36 confirmed 

with six pending. The 2013 DE 

schedule is being finalized now. 

Membership numbers are 

extremely encouraging with current 

membership at 2193. The 

renewal rate continues to increase 

and I know that the membership 

committee continues to work 

hard to attract new members 

and increase our membership 

renewals. Total membership 

has grown every month since 

April 2011. Congratulations! 

John also mentioned the following 

Board-level openings. They include 

Autocross Chair, Social Chair, and 

Rally Chair. For more information 

please contact John at president@ 

mavpca.org for more information. 

Sunday Drives were represented 

by Gareth Maurice, who noted 

that there were 16 cars and 37 

people attending the latest Driving 

Tour out to Bartonville. The 

rain notwithstanding, everyone 

had a good time. Gareth also 

mentioned the special help of 

Lisa Steele and Christy Payne to 

organize the food for the event. 

Gareth reminded us about the 

upcoming Glen Rose Ramble Sunday 

Drive on October 21, featuring 

a stop at the Wiseman Chocolate 

Studio, which will be open just 

for Maverick drivers on that day. 

Newsletter Editor Carey Spreen 

presented several updates. He 

suggested a preview article about 

our Founders’ Day in the next 

Slipstream. He also mentioned some 

of the items that the 50th Anniversary 

Committee are working on 

for the upcoming in Holiday Party 

(Sunday, November 4) and Founders’ 

Day (Saturday, December 1) 

events. Please make plans to attend 

these and see for yourself! Carey 

also recommended an upcoming 

date, Saturday January 26th, for 

the annual All Member Party. 

Typically held on a Sunday, this 

popular event moves to Saturday, 

since the Heritage Clubhouse is 

closed on Sundays now. Carey 

also described the recent Hare & 

Hound Rally, which was attended 

by three brave driver/navigator 

teams during the recent rainstorms 

on September 29, in conjunction 

with the Grapes to Wine tour. 

Treasurer Jim Falgout reported 

that our financial position continues 

to improve with the success and 

focus on the profitability of our 

regional events. An opportunity 

exists to collect advertising fees to 

help bolster our account balances. 

Tech Session Chair Ed Mullenix 

noted that a Tech Session 

will be held on October 20, on 

the basics of automotive electrical 

systems. Stay tuned for 

other Tech Sessions to be held 

next year. That is, assuming we 

are all here after 12/21/2012… 

Time Trial Chair Travis Howard 

described not one but two pairs 

of events in September. The first 

was the TT/AX weekend event on 

September 8-9 with 30 attendees. 

Apparently the Autocross winner 

drove a 914 which finished ahead 

of a super nice Corvette. There is 

proof that life is not linear! He also 

described the September 29-30 TT 

and AX events, which attracted 18 

diehards willing to brave the rain. 

Autocross Chair Al Silva arrived 

super early and set up the Autocross 

course. That’s dedication, on 

all fronts. Travis also noted that 

registrations for the Time Trial on 

October 14 at Motorsport Ranch 

have been very strong. Lastly, 

Travis mentioned that he is participating 

in the 914 Special Interest 

Group (SIG) Mid-US Ramble in 

Oklahoma on October 4-7. We look 

forward to your article about this! 

Club Race Registrar Wendy 

Shoffit noted that registrations 

for the race at Hallett from our 

region have been strong. 

PR chair and 50th Anniversary 

Committe member Linda Bambina 

noted that she has recently 

sold $550 of raffle tickets, and 

interest in the raffle continues 

to be high. Great job to all who 

6

have worked hard to raise funds through ticket 

sales for the Maverick Region. Thank You! 

Linda also mentioned that as part of her public 

relations duties, October’s featured advertiser 

is Boardwalk Porsche. The dealership provided 

her a lot of resources and information. She mentioned 

that she will be turning over the writing of 

the Driving Friendships article to someone else 

soon. She is seeking a special person to help her 

out with this. Lastly, she mentioned she is working 

on coordinating a “Round-Up-like” event for 

next year. If you have any interest in either of 

these please contact her at bina42@tx.rr.com. 

Autocross Chair Al Silva followed and amplified 

the positive response to the Autocross events. He 

felt that an optimum experience can be achieved 

with about 20 competitors. I added a comment 

about the benefits of linking an Introduction to 

Autocross and Time Trial event with the Sunday 

Driving Tours. There’s a lot of hard work that 

goes into holding these events so why not leverage 

these together with our membership? 

Meeting adjourned at 8:15pm.

Contributions by Fran Ussery, Jan Michel, Lisa Steele, and Linda Bambina 

If you have been paying any 

attention at all to Slipstream, 

the Maverick Website, and just 

about any social event we have put 

on this year, you already know how 

excited we are about the upcoming 

Grand Finale of our 50th Anniversary 

celebration, traditionally 

known as Founders’ Day, this year 

sponsored by Autobahn Porsche. 

To make this year’s event extra 

memorable, we are pulling out the 

stops with two very special guests: 

Master of Ceremonies Mark Shevitz 

and Keynote Speaker David Hobbs. 

Mark Shevitz 

We are so lucky to have Mark 

Shevitz as Emcee for Founders’ 

Day 2012. Those of you who 

have attended even one Porsche 

Parade know that Mark has been 

the Emcee for umpty-ump years. 

But we first really met Mark in 

1987 when he was one of three 

Emcees for the DFW Parade. 

You may recall that, back then, 

the Hyatt DFW, our Parade headquarters 

at DFW Airport, was really 

two hotels - East and West. On the 

last night of the Parade, not wanting 

the fun to end, many of us 

walked the long causeway from the 

East to the West hotel for an ice 

cream celebration. Mark joined 

us on that midnight walk, and we 

learned that that day was also his 

birthday. A very beautiful and very 

TALL waitress sang Happy Birthday 

to Mark, making him blush, 

which is not an easy thing to do. 

Mark is quick, entertaining 

and unflappable. Well almost 

unflappable; ask him how he 

feels about BUGS. Really . . . you 

must ask him about the bugs. 

David Hobbs 

Our Keynote Speaker, David 

Hobbs, is a British former racing 

driver who now works as a commentator 

for Speed Channel. In 

1969 Hobbs was included in the 

F.I.A. list of graded drivers, an 

elite group of 27 drivers who, by 

their achievements, were rated 

the best in the world. He was also 

inducted into the Motorsports 

Hall of Fame of America in 2009. 

David Hobbs’ 30-year history in 

motor sports includes sports cars, 

touring cars, Indy cars, IMSA, 

Can-Am and Formula One. He has 

participated in the Indianapolis 

500 and the 24 Hours of Daytona. 

He made twenty starts in the 24 

Hours of Le Mans race, finishing 

in 8th place at the first attempt 

in 1962, following with a pole 

position and a best finish of third 

(in 1969 and 1984) to his credit. 

In 1971 Hobbs won the US Formula 

5000 L&M Continental Series 

championship driving for Carl 

Hogan out of St. Louis, Missouri, 

in a McLaren M10B-Chevrolet. 

He won five of the eight rounds 

that year at Laguna Seca, Seattle, 

Road America, Edmonton, and 

Lime Rock. Twelve years later, he 

claimed the 1983 Trans-Am Series 

championship as well. He also 

made two NASCAR Winston Cup 

starts in 1976, including leading 

two laps at the 1976 Daytona 

500, and drove a race in the 1979 

International Race of Champions. 

David Hobbs is one of the most 

popular figures in racing on 

both sides of the Atlantic. In addition 

to the driving skills that 

propelled him to success in an 

astonishing array of machinery, 

out of the car David is upbeat, 

personable and often hilarious. 

And if these two gentlemen are 

not enough of a draw for you, 

the evening will also consist of 

our annual awards presentations 

including the Selcer Award, two 

special video showings, a White 

Hot Photo Lounge (Google it!), 

the raffle drawing for the winner 

of the Week for Two in Germany, 

and of course a world-class dinner. 

Please don’t forget to bring a 

Walmart gift card as a donation to 

our charity, the Huffaker-Hughes 

Hope House - every one counts. 

So make plans to be with us for 

our 50th - you will not want to miss 

this one!

By Linda Bambina, PR Chair and MRPCA 50th Anniversary Committee 

Since 1962, 

Mavericks 

have been 

a movin’ and a 

groovin,’ a goin’ 

and a blowin,’ 

because we ARE 

movers and 

shakers! We are the envy of many 

other regions, I assure you. 

The original photo, taken at Founders’ Day 1982, 

celebrating 20 years of Maverick Region. 

Present in this photo but missing from the 2012 

version below is Leon Cowan, third from left 

Alan and I have attended/worked 

more than 25 Parades. Each and 

every time we go, I am asked about 

the unusually high energy level of 

our club. They ask, “How do you 

maintain the variety? The interest? 

The dedication from the volunteers? 

The loyalty of the region’s 

membership? Our club hardly does 

anything anymore except ____,” 

usually naming 

just one 

type of event. 

While there 

is no simple, 

uncomplicated 

answer to those 

questions, I 

can say after 

participating 

in hundreds 

of events over 

thirty years, it’s 

all intertwined 

with a variety of 

connections that 

people have 

with people, 

and that people 

have with these 

amazing cars. 

Sometimes 

there are strong, years-long friendships 

involved, and sometimes 

it just centers around individual 

commitments to specific projects, 

events, a favorite race track, or 

even a Porsche mechanic! 

At the April 50th Anniversary 

“Family Portrait” event, all but five 

of 27 Past Presidents (since 1972) 

were there. Interestingly enough, 

more than half of these ladies and 

gents had served at least two terms. 

James Shoffit served four times, 

and John Hamilton will shortly 

be installed in his third term. 

But as important as this Top 

Job is to our Region, in reality, 

there are several Executive 

Board volunteer jobs that are 

much more demanding than the 

presidency. Currently, there are 

at least six Exec-Chairs who are 

“a bit fried” if not already “completely 

burnt” around the edges! 

It would be foolish of me to 

cite specifics or list needs here, 

but suffice it to say: the 30-someodd 

folks (and some of them are 

odd!) on page 4 of this “newsletter” 

would welcome help from 

the other 2,000+ members. 

Maverick Presidents since 1972, l to r: Don Spaulding, Barry Gibbs, Charlie Davis, Joan Gibbs, John 

Halla, Milton Barley, Steve Kent, Bob Blakewell, Alan Bambina, Jerry Sutton, Bob Knight

You are needed! We need your energy, your ideas 

for our goin’ GROWIN’ group! As I move off of the 

50th Anniversary Committee, I am looking for ideas 

in regards to inventing some Getaway Weekends no 

more than three hours from DFW! Wanna he’p? 

Join in. Make that connection.

Drivers’ Ed: The Fall Season Kicks Off With a Winner 

By Lori Mauthe, DE Chair 

Photos by Lori Mauthe except where noted 

September 

15-16 found 

Maverick 

PCA members 

at Motorsport 

Ranch in Cresson 

for our Drivers’ 

Education event 

to begin our fall season. Thanks to 

our sponsor, Boardwalk Porsche, 

for the support all weekend. 

Boardwalk Porsche’s 

sponsorship of the weekend 

was appreciated by all 


Rain washed the track on Friday, 

and it was still damp on Saturday 

morning. However, despite overcast 

skies, we were rain-free all 

day. No worries about sun glasses 

or sun screen, just drive, drive, 

drive . . . oh, and go to class, and 

check tire pressures, and clean 

windshields, and HAVE FUN. 

Our day began with coffee and 

donuts splendidly presented by Lisa 

Steele, our Hospitality Goddess. 

Thanks also to our Wake-Up sponsor, 

Falgout and Associates, who 

paid for that coffee and donuts. 

The student drivers’ meeting 

upstairs was presented by DE Chair 

Lori Mauthe and Registrar/Black 

Flagman Joel Nannis. The flags 

were explained, corner worker stations 

and passing zones identified 

on the track map, and the schedule 

for the day reviewed. Everyone 

was very eager to get going, for we 

Joel Nannis and Lori Mauthe 

conducting the Student Drivers’ 

meeting Saturday morning 

had a lot of special events planned 

during our fun day. Downstairs, the 

instructors had their meeting, led 

by Chief Driving Instructor John 

Sandusky and 

the team leads 

for each of the 

four teams of 

instructors. 

Special thanks 

to them as 

well as those 

who presented 

our classroom 

sessions. 

Lunchtime 

was especially 

fun. Our special guests arrived at 

11:00 am. We welcomed twenty 

matches from the Big Brothers 

Big Sisters organization. 

Peter Mauthe demonstrating 

the basics of helmet safety 

Peter Mauthe presented the drivers’ 

meeting, explaining the basics 

of on-the-track driving. A special 

guest joined him - Jack Farr, owner 

of Motorsport Ranch. Jack shared 

the story of his dream come true in 

building a motorsport park, as well 

as his track records. Jack was very 

proud to tell them that he holds 

the fastest time around the track in 

a Winnebago - a record that won’t 

ever be broken because he no 

longer allows them on the track! 

Down below in the paddock, Peter 

enjoyed sharing details about his 

Porsche Cayman S and how important 

a good helmet is for safety. 

The Bigs and Littles gathered 

around Peter to hear every word! 

The group walked up to the tower 

area and watched the final session 

before lunch, the Green group, 

Bigs and Littles cheering on the Green group 

before the lunch break and Parade Laps 

from the grandstand. They all 

waved and cheered “PORSCHE.” 

Once the track was cleared, 

our participants from the DE 

volunteered to take our special 

guests for the Parade Laps. As they 

pulled up to grid, we first made 

sure all the Littles had a ride, and 

then all of the Bigs found a passenger 

seat. The DE participants 

talked about their cars, their 

safety equipment and happily 

answered so many questions. And 

their pride showed through.

Smiles as wide as the windshields 

appeared as Parade Lap time neared 

Thank you to our pace car drivers 

and all the participants 

who gave 

our guests a very 

educational ride 

around the track. 

Afterwards, the 

group joined us 

for lunch in the 

pavilion. We all 

their skills and tracking results 

in the log books. We saw many 

check rides and promotions 

throughout the weekend. Our 

Green and Blue groups were 

full, and our highest numbers 

in White and Yellow made for a 

fun-filled weekend every session. 

At the end of the day Saturday, 

John Sandusky and a few members 

of the instructor team conducted 

a track walk. Participation was 

incredible. Over half of our drivers 

stayed to see the 

track up close 

and personal 

in those very 

difficult technical 

corners. This 

addition to our 

event was a huge 

success, and will 

be most likely be 

repeated during 

good weather events in the future.

Our sponsor, Boardwalk Porsche, 

hosted a trackside cookout for all 


Boardwalk Porsche Parts Manager 

Larry Irby manned the grill 

makes and colors from Boardwalk 

were lined up in front of 

the pavilion – what a sight! 

Sunday morning was a bit rainy 

and we had to contend with a wet 

track. However, everyone was 

careful and there were no incidents. 

We ran right on schedule all 

weekend, and ended with a sunny 

Sunday afternoon. Thanks again to 

our sponsor Boardwalk Porsche, to 

Motorsport Ranch, and our fabulous 

instructor team for a fantastic 

event. 

Parade Laps here we come! 

appreciated the yummy food from 

our caterer Del Norte. Thanks 

again to Lisa Steele for arranging 

everything for us, from food to 

the tables and chairs, and lots of 

water to keep everyone hydrated. 

Lunch for everyone was 

catered by Del Norte 

After lunch we were back to the 

business of drivers’ education. 

Instructors gathered at the Team 

3 station to review the finer points 

of guiding students to improve 

Saturday afternoon 

instructors’ meeting

5:30, burgers were ready with all

Manager, flipped 

burgers, and 

other Boardwalk 

team members 

joined in the fun.

enjoying his jobs far more than 

most of the working folks out there. 

DeFeo & Co Enterprises is really 

a foursome of interrelated businesses, 

one of which is Jerry DeFeo 

Designs, where he has some 40 

years of Custom Home Design and 

Building experience. Then there 

is Remodeling Consultants, where 

he both designs and acts as the

which he says Silver Hair is a real 

plus, is City Intervention. Dealing 

with cities which have confusing 

ordinances that are often in opposition 

to State or Federal Laws can 

be a nightmare to many business 

owners. Here’s the pitch: Let Jerry 

go down and fight the Bureaucrats 

while you stay and do what you 

do best - run your business! 

When asked how he can be an 

expert in all those fields, he simply 

says that he started each new business 

a decade apart, and developed 

each to be efficient while maintaining 

the other businesses, since they 

are basically all interconnected. 

“It is kind of like asking Mario Andretti 

how can he be so successful 

in driving so many different types 

of cars, or asking a Pilot how he or 

she is proficient in so many types 

of single-engined, multi-engined, 

or jet-powered aircraft. The key: 

never forget what you have learned 

when you take on something new.”

in Greenville. Give him a call; he is 

very friendly, and literally gives his 

all for his clients!

Cliff’s Ramblings: NASA and Club Race and DE - Oh My! 

By Cliff Blackshear 

Geessee what a busy time of 

year. Went to Mid Ohio for a 

NASA (National Auto Sport 

Association) race after some testing 

for technician certification in Atlanta 

(“SWEET”, I’m still a Gold Meister), 

with good results at Mid Ohio; then 

off to a DE that my workshop sponsors 

at Motorsport Ranch. Cooked 

burgers and dogs Saturday night. Had a lot of fun. 

Then off to Hallett for a Club Race. It was amazing. 

Our efforts were well rewarded with great results. It is 

not easy to get those kinds of results. I was so proud 

of everyone and how hard they have all worked. 

Now I have to go to Atlanta for more training on 

the new generation Boxster and new generation top 

systems for the 991. A week from when I write this, 

the Maverick Region Club Race at MSR occurs. Bryan 

Henderson and Jim Buckley are talking with me about 

being a scrutineer for PCA. They seem to think I 

have the skill sets for such a position. I dunno. Plus it 

would mean being at races where possibly cars from 

my shop are racing. It would be difficult to not be in

my homies at the Maverick event every year working 

tech inspection. Nonetheless I have agreed to work as

Reflecting on all that, I feel so grateful to be doing 

what I do. I am not changing the world, yet I gain 

a lot of satisfaction from my interactions with so 

many people. Life can be fun even when working. 

Been chasing software issues with new PIWIS 

Tester 2 system lately. Had a 2012 987 Twin Turbo 

Cabriolet in the shop today. It had been crashed 

hard and was sent over from Stuart’s shop to investigate 

an air bag light issue after all parts were 

replaced. The POSIP (Porsche airbag system) was 

logging faults for AWS (automatic weight sensing 

system). The AWS system had no faults in on board 

memory, yet POSIP system said it did. Weird… 

We ran a complete fault interrogation on all 

micro processors and suddenly AWS had a 

“Needs Calibration” fault. Calibrated system and 

POSIP no longer had a hard fault to check AWS 

system. Humm. Reported to Engineering. 

I’m working like a dog yet having fun. What are you 

doing today? Cheers

“Sunday” Drive: Grapes to Wine Tour/Rally 

By Brendan Eagan and Gareth Maurice 

The Maverick 

PCA 

Sunday 

drives start out as 

a thought - a glimmer 

- with a destination 

in mind. 

John Harvey, the 

Maverick Region’s 

Tourmeister, 

back in May had 

already zeroed 

in on Grapes to 

Wine, a boutique 

wine store in 

Bartonville, for 

the September drive destination. 

“Where’s Bartonville?” I asked. 

Our laptops opened up. We picked 

a start point in Allen and then 

zoomed in/out of the maps looking 

for interesting roads, twists and 

turns, probable rest stops – and getting 

the Porsches OUT of the cities. 

For the last several drives we have 

had three groups, with each lead 

car having a GPS with the route 

downloaded. With a known route 

and a GPS to point the way, our 

goal has been to keep each group 

on track, reduce the chances of 

getting lost, and remove any anxiety 

or stress of ending up lost! 

Another successful Drive 

organized by John and BJ Harvey 

22 

Next: the roads have 

to be driven. Tested. 

Scoped out. For this 

single Sunday drive 

(which was actually 

on Saturday, September 

29) we test drove 

it four different 

times. John Harvey, 

Gareth Maurice and 

I all drove the route 

in May – thumbs up. 

In the three weeks 

prior to Sept 29 we 

re-drove the route 

three times. We left 

at dawn from Allen 

and were treated to 

a beautiful orange 

sunrise on Hwy 380. 

Gareth was double-checking the 

printed directions, circling minor 

errors and watching the GPS track. 

Photos by Brendan Eagan 

The Tour and Rally Group after the 

wine tasting and lasagna dinner 

Shortly thereafter we came around 

a country corner to find a large barrier 

across the road: “Road Closed.” 

We got out and looked around 

– the bridge was completely gone 

about a half mile ahead. We tried 

to figure roughly where we were 

and what road to take to get back 

on course. We drove this way and 

that way and furiously tried to get 

the GPSs to reroute us, but they just 

didn’t want to cooperate. Finally 

our chosen Farm Road reappears, 

but with another “Road Closed” 

sign. This time we just laughed. 

Driving on, we came to a road 

where about 50 yards of it were 

gone – all gravel and dust. 

We crept at 20 mph wondering 

aloud how many Porsche 

drivers would curse us. 

We ended up at Grapes to Wine, 

our proposed destination. We drove 

around back to the meeting room 

we’d be using. “This can’t be the 

place!” It was gutted! Bare metal 

posts. Debris everywhere. Electrical 

wires and boxes protruding 

from the ceiling. Trashed. Gareth 

took a picture and got it off to 

our Social Chair, Christy Payne, to 

double check that it was going to 

be finished for our club event! 

As the days crept closer to the 

29th, I watched the weather forecast 

which showed the chance of 

rain at 10% a week out. It climbed 

10% every day. Saturday ended up 

being forecast with a 70% chance 

of rain. Not fun. And, sure enough 

at our appointed gathering time 

at Saxby’s Coffee in Allen – steady 

Mike Doherty, Maverick Region 

member and Grapes to Wine 

member, helped coordinate the event

ain. We had 16 cars for the drive 

and Carey had three cars for the 

Hare & Hound Rally he’d planned, 

leaving from the same spot and 

arriving at Grapes to Wine, but 

by a totally different route. 

In spite of the damp and cramped 

quarters, everyone was excited. 

John Harvey gave us a brief prebrief. 

I told my group (the first 

10 cars) that we’d have a rest stop 

about 45 minutes into the 106-mile 

drive. Gareth’s group (the second 

set of cars heading out) got a great 

laugh when he informed them that 

he’d NOT make a rest stop and 

everyone would be issued a baggie. 

We headed out and into the rain. 

I immediately lost my sweep, Don 

Sebert. Don and I made some 

Our host, Grapes to Wine 

owner Dan Adams 

quick phone calls back and forth 

and we stopped to re-collect the 

group. Perfect. So off we went. 

Don and I exchanged a couple 

of quick “hellos” and I headed out 

from the rest stop. A few miles later, 

Don called again. Whoops! I’d 

left someone behind. He was with 

them and trying to get them on the 

route. It was raining with obscured 

visibility and he was trying to guide 

someone towards our destination. 

Everyone made it to Grapes to 

Wine in Bartonville, Don Sebert 

included, albeit a bit delayed. 

Mike Doherty, a fellow PCAer, 

was our host at Dan Adams’ 

shop. What a wonderful time! 

We tasted six different wines and 

had a lasagna dinner and salad 

provided by Carraba’s. Dan even 

offered a discount on wines to 

all PCA members. Perfectisimo! 

Join us next time!

September Happy Hour: Cristina’s 

By Frank Briggs 

With 

weather 

that 

reminded us of 

mid August and 

roads that resembled 

an autocross 

layout, Mavericks 

navigated multiple construction 

zones to Christina’s in Southlake 

to enjoy margaritas, beer, wine, 

great food and lively conversations 

with fellow Porschephiles. 

There were 35 attendees, consisting 

of “us regulars,” as well as new 

members recently moving here 

from Mexico. A warm welcome 

to Marino, Laura, and Isabella 

Gonzalez-Luhrs, as well as to Kyriacos, 

Gillian, and Niko Panaydes, 

all attending their first Maverick 

event. Isabella looked very official 

l to r: Kiriacos and Gillian Panaydes, with 

Marino, Isabella, and Laura Gonzalez-Luhrs 

wearing her Porsche-crest-adorned 

headdress, which she made herself. 

She is going to make some 

lucky guy a great mate someday.

We graced the 

parking lot with a 

nice array of Stuttgart’s 

best, ranging 

from early air-cooled 

911s to more recent GT3s with 

some of everything in between.

I have ordered great November 

weather for our next Happy Hour 

at JR’s Grill in Colleyville, so we 

should have no problem filling the 

parking lot. Dust off your favorite 

ride and join us on November 15 at

DRIVE 

TOWARD OWNERSHIP. 

A Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor can talk to you about 

the Loan Management Account® (LMA® account), 

a flexible line of credit from Bank of America, N.A., 

available through Merrill Lynch. It can offer you the 

liquidity you may need for your purchase while you 

keep your investment strategy on track.

The Loan Management Account® (LMA® account) is provided by Bank of America, N.A., member FDIC. Equal Opportunity Lender. 

The LMA account requires a brokerage account at Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPF&S) and sufficient eligible collateral to support a minimum credit facility size of 

$100,000. All securities are subject to credit approval and Bank of America, N.A., may change its collateral maintenance requirements at any time. Securities-based financing involves special 

risks and is not for everyone. When considering a securities-based loan, consideration should be given to individual requirements, portfolio composition and risk tolerance, as well as capital 

gains, portfolio performance expectations and investment time horizon. The securities or other assets in any collateral account may be sold to meet a collateral call without notice to the client, 

the client is not entitled to an extension of time on the collateral call, and the client is not entitled to choose which securities or other assets will be sold. The client can lose more funds than 

deposited in such collateral account. A complete description of the loan terms can be found within the LMA agreement. Clients should consult their own independent tax and legal advisors. Some 

restrictions may apply to purpose loans, and not all managed accounts are eligible as collateral. All applications for LMA accounts are subject to approval by Bank of America, N.A. 

For fixed-rate and term advances, principal payments made prior to the due date will be subject to a breakage fee.
