Drifting: Thanks to our Volunteers!<br />
By John Hamilton, Region President<br />
Can you believe it’s <strong>November</strong><br />
already? What a year we’ve<br />
had! Many, many activities<br />
(including a few firsts, like the<br />
Club Race/DE at Circuit Of The<br />
Americas last spring), with several<br />
more to come. This month includes<br />
another Drivers’ Education event,<br />
Time Trial, Autocross, Sunday Drive, Lunches and<br />
Happy Hour -- oops, Maverick Monthly Social -- plus<br />
our annual Founders’ Day event. And we squeeze all<br />
of those in around Thanksgiving! When do we rest?<br />
Speaking of not resting, I’d like to commend our<br />
incredible list of volunteers who have put together<br />
another stellar year of events that provide the additional<br />
enjoyment from being a member of the<br />
Maverick Region. That list is long, and most of them<br />
are pictured on page 4 of this publication each month.<br />
THIS MONTH: DON’T JUST BREEZE BY PAGE<br />
4 - PAUSE THERE FOR A MOMENT and appreciate<br />
the time and effort that these people put into it FOR<br />
FREE over the year. That includes a 2-1/2 hour board<br />
meeting most months, which most of them attend.<br />
So when you attend one or more of the events, drives,<br />
tours, etc. that all seem to go off so smoothly, or read<br />
this magazine, say “Thank you” to the volunteers who<br />
get it all done behind the scenes. There aren’t many<br />
(if any) paid people who could do as good a job.<br />
THANK YOU MAVERICK VOLUNTEERS!<br />
Mav of the Month<br />
ALEXIS A. V. CAMPBELL, Proprietor<br />
1235 William D. Tate Ave<br />
Grapevine, TX 76051<br />
Another volunteer who has<br />
done a tremendous amount<br />
of work for our club is our<br />
Secretary, Renee Farinella.<br />
Renee was just like many of<br />
you: enjoying club events and<br />
wondering where she could<br />
contribute. So she started attending<br />
our monthly board meetings and quickly<br />
discovered that there was going to be an opening<br />
in the secretary position. Renee immediately volunteered<br />
and won a landslide election to the position.<br />
Each month, laptop in hand, Renee not only captures<br />
the meat of the happenings at the meeting; she<br />
also contributes outstanding ideas on how we can<br />
continue to improve our club. One of those improvements<br />
that Renee suggested is the new name for our<br />
monthly get-togethers (formerly “Happy Hours”)<br />
which will now be called “Maverick Monthly Socials.”<br />
So Renee, as a heartfelt indication<br />
of our appreciation, you<br />
are our “Mav of the Month” for<br />
<strong>November</strong>, and so much more<br />
than that every month to our<br />
club. Congratulations and<br />
enjoy your gift certificate to the<br />
Silver Fox Steakhouse in<br />
Grapevine!<br />

the car magazine that drew him into a<br />
lifetime of loving cars. He spent many<br />
afternoons riding his bike as a young<br />

Carey On...<br />
By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor<br />
With the arrival<br />
of <strong>November</strong>,<br />
even though we<br />
still have more<br />
activities coming<br />
up before <strong>2013</strong><br />
is out, we look<br />
back at the past<br />
year at our annual Founders’ Day<br />
banquet. This year’s Founders’<br />
Day, scheduled for <strong>November</strong><br />
2, has probably already taken<br />
place by the time you read this.<br />
In contrast to last year’s extravaganza<br />
celebrating Maverick<br />
Region’s 50th Anniversary, I expect<br />
that this year’s Founders’ Day will<br />
be a return to the more typical<br />
evening of member recognitions,<br />
Board elections, and annual awards,<br />
including our prestigious Richard<br />
Selcer Memorial Award. Oh, yeah,<br />
and a chance to dress up and have<br />
a nice dinner among friends old<br />
and new. I hope that you were able<br />
to make it, and if not, I hope you’ll<br />
consider attending next year.<br />
But as I mentioned, there are still<br />
more events to come before the<br />
year-end holidays arrive. There is<br />
one more Drivers’ Ed event this<br />
year -- the popular one-day event<br />
at MotorSport Ranch, For those<br />
who don’t or can’t commit to<br />
the normal two-day events, this<br />
one is an attractive alternative.<br />
There re three more Time Trials<br />
left, so if you have wondered<br />
about what either type of event are<br />
about, you can still come out to<br />
Mineral Wells to check them out<br />
and avoid the heat that the MineralRing<br />
is sometimes known for.<br />
Perhaps you prefer our Sunday<br />
Drives. There are two more of those<br />
coming up: one to Fort Richardson<br />
State Park in <strong>November</strong>, and a Toy<br />
Run for our perennial charity, the<br />
Huffaker-Hughes Hope House.<br />
You may also like our social events,<br />
and of course we will continue<br />
those no matter what time of year<br />
it is. Note that we have renamed<br />
our Happy Hour get-togethers to<br />
“Maverick Monthly Socials” so as<br />
to widen the focus and let folks<br />
know that we are not just getting<br />
together for drinks -- there is always<br />
a group that stays for dinner.<br />
And don’t forget about our Holiday<br />
Party on Saturday, December<br />
14 at the home of Linda and Lee<br />
Wilkins. See the ad in this issue or<br />
visit mav.pca.org for more details.<br />

Maverick Minutes: October Board Meeting<br />
By Renee Farinella, Region Secretary October 2, <strong>2013</strong><br />
Region<br />
President<br />
John Hamilton<br />
began the<br />
meeting promptly<br />
at 7:03pm with<br />
a discussion of<br />
considering the<br />
“rebranding” of the name of our<br />
monthly Happy Hours to include<br />
sharing the additional information<br />
that dinner is always an option, and<br />
often a part of our gatherings. In<br />
addition to adult beverages being<br />
available at these Maverick monthly<br />
socials, we meet, greet, and eat!<br />
Be on the lookout for some updates.<br />
“Come for drinks, stay for<br />
dinner!”… not just happy hour!<br />
Welcome Gary Pearson, 2008<br />
Cayman owner and PCA member<br />
for 18 months, who sat in on our<br />
board meeting. All PCA Members<br />
are welcome, and your first visit<br />
meal is on us! We hope your time<br />
with us inspires an interest in<br />
even greater club involvement.<br />
National Membership Chair Lisa<br />
Steele is helping to work on a<br />
proposal to have all dealerships<br />
offer a free membership to PCA<br />
with purchase of car. We’ve been<br />
working on this one for a while.<br />
<strong>Slipstream</strong> Editor and former Rally<br />
Chair Carey Spreen was not at the<br />
meeting, but asked John to give<br />
his report. Don Sebert and George<br />
Luxbacher attended an SCCA Rallymaster<br />
class a couple of weeks ago.<br />
With Don’s continued interest in<br />
becoming our Rally chair, Carey will<br />
help train and get him well-situated<br />
into that role. Don brings many<br />
years of experience as a Porsche<br />
owner and member of PCA.<br />
Our Membership Co-Chairs Susan<br />
and Tom Froehlich were not able<br />
to attend this month’s board meeting<br />
either, but asked John to report<br />
that in September, we lost eight<br />
members to non-renewal, which<br />
we are working on addressing in<br />
specific ways moving forward. More<br />
to follow on these developments!<br />
Since Social Chair Tracy Robertson<br />
was not able to attend, John<br />
gave the Social report as well. As<br />
of this writing, about 35 people<br />
had signed up for the Cars and<br />
Cattle event, which will have taken<br />
place on Saturday, October 5. Also,<br />
Raffle tickets to win a one-year<br />
lease of a 2014 Macan, the new<br />
Porsche small SUV, are available<br />
for purchase through our website<br />
mav.pca.org. You can also purchase<br />
them through board members<br />
at all remaining events, right up<br />
until the day of the Raffle drawing,<br />
January 25, which will take place<br />
at the All Member Party. John<br />
recently learned that the rules<br />
state that Raffle ticket sales must<br />
be to PCA members only, contrary<br />
to what we had understood up<br />
to this point. A clarification from<br />
John will be forthcoming soon.<br />
Club Race Registrar Wendy Shoffit<br />
noted that she will have a display<br />
and Raffle tickets available for sale<br />
at the Club Race and solo-only DE<br />
at Eagles Canyon later in October.<br />
We are working hard at finding<br />
more items for the silent auction<br />
portion of the Founders’ Day event,<br />
benefiting the Hope Shelter.<br />
We then moved on to officially<br />
voting on (and passing) a measure<br />
stating that we will next year have<br />
11 monthly board meetings per<br />
year; not convening in July.<br />
John then talked about an email<br />
he received from a member who<br />
owns Sports Car Junkies, requesting<br />
that we facilitate interest in his<br />
offering to PCA Member business<br />
owners who might benefit from<br />
being included on his podcast,<br />
which incorporates business into<br />
folks’ love of Porsche. We will<br />
forward this on to our Tech chair,<br />
Ed Mullenix. Also, John shared<br />
another email request from Car<br />
Guy Concourso; it was determined<br />
that we would ask our Concours<br />
chair Andy Kay to attend one<br />
of his events to check it out and<br />
see if it aligns as an opportunity<br />
that would be of interest to our<br />
Membership! Consider yourself<br />
officially volunteered, Andy!<br />
Next up was Region Vice President<br />
Gareth Maurice, who purchased<br />
the new Corel Draw graphics<br />
software for use with generating<br />
ads and graphics for <strong>Slipstream</strong>.<br />
Gareth is working with Carey<br />
Spreen and our former graphic<br />
artist Christy Payne to incorporate<br />
the design package to full use.<br />
Also, he mentioned that we are<br />
current on our insurance for Cars<br />
and Cattle, as well as the Sunday<br />
Drive to the San Martiño winery.<br />
David Robertson came to the<br />
meeting with Raffle tickets available<br />
to distribute to the board for sale.<br />
Region Treasurer Jim Falgout<br />
was glad to report that we are<br />
in healthy financial shape. We<br />
were all proud to hear that he<br />
recently acquired a 2003 996 with<br />
only 26,000 miles on it, and now<br />
has a 968 for sale! We feel sure<br />
it will not be for sale for long.<br />
Frank Briggs, former Concours<br />
Co-Chair, sat in for our Happy<br />
Hour/Maverick Monthly Social<br />
chair, Mike Farrar, and let us know<br />
that the <strong>November</strong> 21 Happy Hour<br />

6 <strong>November</strong>
was just observing this evening, mentioning that<br />
he would like to resurrect a former tradition of the<br />
December Happy Hour: hosting it at the Bavarian<br />
Grill in Plano! Stay tuned for that affirmation!<br />
Tourmeister team Co-Chair Brendan Eagan<br />
started his report by saying that everyone is excited<br />
about being invited again by the Ramos family for<br />
another Sunday Drive on October 13 out to their<br />
San Martiño Winery near Rockwall. Region Tourmeister<br />
John Harvey and his team have a fun route<br />
mapped for the Drive before we lunch there and<br />
tour the facility. Also, he reminded us that the Fort<br />
Richardson Sunday Drive, northwest of Fort Worth,<br />
is <strong>November</strong> 17, and the Frick’n Toy Run, hosted<br />
by Jean and David Frick, is December 8. As always,<br />
the events Calendar is available on the club website,<br />
as well as listed in each month’s <strong>Slipstream</strong>.<br />

Howard’s wife Robyn in your thoughts as she recovers<br />
from neck surgery. The Time Trial/Autocross<br />
weekend at the end of September at Mineral Wells<br />
went great, despite a little bit of rain on Saturday, but<br />
Sunday was a beautiful day. There were also two brand<br />

Destination Restoration: Another Steal of a Deal<br />
By Ash Seidl-Staley<br />
Well, I<br />
guess the<br />
easiest<br />
way to start this article<br />
is with”Oops,<br />
I did it again.” No,<br />
this is not a shoutout<br />
to Britney<br />
Spears, but instead is a declaration<br />
of how I have purchased another<br />
Porsche. I’m sure my water-cooled<br />
bashing statements from the last<br />
few articles come to mind. But the<br />
truth of the matter is that I needed<br />
a car that was a little more practical,<br />
easier to work on than the<br />
944, and, of course, fun to drive.<br />
Drum roll please . . . My new ride<br />
is a 1974 914 2.0!! Thanks to my<br />
Uncle’s keen and watchful eye, I basically<br />
stole a stock 914 for a heck of<br />
a price. I have never been happier,<br />
because for the past few months<br />
I have woken up each morning<br />
eagerly awaiting my commute to<br />
and from work. If you haven’t<br />
driven one of these tiny cars, I must<br />
recommend it; they truly are a blast<br />
to drive. The low-profile, lightweight,<br />
and elegantly-styled body<br />
cruises down the road with ease;<br />
always turning heads. The powerful<br />
2.0L engine, at its mid section,<br />
thrusts the car like a space age<br />
rocket, making the stiff suspension<br />
more than a match for the corners.<br />
As it is with many older cars, the<br />
914 I purchased does need a little<br />
work, but most of it is cosmetic,<br />
and more than likely will serve as<br />
material for future Destination<br />
Restoration articles. The stock<br />
2.0L D-Jetronic Fuel Injection fires<br />
right up, and seems to be in great<br />
shape, with no leaks of any kind<br />
visible. The transmission and clutch<br />
Photos by the Author<br />
shift surprisingly smoothly, and the<br />
custom sport muffler makes the car<br />
roar through the streets of Plano.<br />
Originally the car, like so many other<br />
914s, was Signal Orange, but it<br />
seems this one was repainted Guards<br />
Red sometime in the past. The carpet<br />
kits and interior trim are all original,<br />
and contain the normal wear and<br />
tear found with a 40-year-old car. The<br />
trunk and hood storage spaces are<br />
immaculately clean, though there is a<br />
“Rikka,” the 1974 914-2.0<br />

significant scratch on the hood from<br />
the previous owner, and the trunk<br />
rollers have deteriorated to where<br />
the trunk won’t close all the way.<br />
I chose to go with a 914 because<br />
they are quick, nimble, and easy to<br />
work on. I am a firm believer that<br />
air cooled engines are where it is<br />
at, and am already on the hunt for<br />
another! Luckily, with my Uncle’s<br />
914/6 conversion, featured in<br />
previous articles, I have plenty of<br />
spare 914 parts at my disposal. I<br />
even have the option of swapping<br />
out the stock 2.0L engine for one<br />
of my Grandpa’s complete 2.0L<br />
engines that he bored out to 2.2.<br />
Using his extra set of 40mm IDA<br />
Webers for fuel delivery, I think<br />
I can make a beast of a 914.<br />
Another route that I can take is<br />
converting the 914 into a 914-6, as<br />
I have an extra 2.7L flat six from<br />
the 911 build. For now, I am going<br />
to start small; I want fix some<br />
of the exterior blemishes, add a<br />
Spotless interior<br />
front valence, and rear spoiler<br />
before I do anything big. Work<br />
has already begun: in the first<br />
week of September I changed<br />
the oil, replaced the spark plugs,<br />
fixed a few connections on the<br />
ignition system, and replaced the<br />
distributor cap. The next batch of<br />
repairs includes installing an MSD<br />
ignition unit, checking the valve<br />
clearances, and fixing the trunk by<br />
replacing the little plastic rollers.<br />
Further down the road, I am<br />
going to take a crack at fixing<br />
the rust spots, as well as tend to<br />
the large scratch on the hood.<br />
So much work to do; I can’t wait<br />
until it is all done, and I can<br />
get another one. What can I say<br />
-- I’m addicted to PORSCHES!<br />

Cars and Cattle: Poker Run and Concours d’Non Elegance<br />
By Blake Small<br />
October 5<br />
marked<br />
the date<br />
for the inagural<br />
“Cars and Cattle:<br />
Poker Rally<br />
and Concours<br />
d’Non Elegance”<br />
event, hosted at the ranch of<br />
fellow Maverick Region members<br />
Debbie and Kyle Fahrenthold.<br />
The temperatures ran low while<br />
the horsepower was up high.<br />
The day started off at a central<br />
meeting point in Richardson,<br />
where the group of about 40<br />
made their way through the<br />
beautiful scenic countryside of<br />
North Texas en route towards the<br />
Fahrenthold Cattle Ranch. Upon<br />
arrival, guests greeted each other<br />
and warmed up over a hot cup of<br />
coffee. The engines then fired, and<br />
the Poker Rally was underway.<br />
The course was laid out wonderfully<br />
through the tight and twisty<br />
roads of Collin County, where, at<br />
each checkpoint, Stuart’s Paint<br />
and Body had a team of officials<br />
giving each participant a card for<br />
their poker hand. With the five<br />
checkpoints covered, the rally took<br />
just under an hour to complete.<br />
An intriguing turn on<br />
the Poker Rally route<br />

This may be the answer to the<br />
question “what do you get when<br />
you cross a car with a cow?”<br />
Upon arriving back at “The<br />
Ranch,” scores were tallied, and<br />
the top three were awarded prizes<br />
from the different contributing<br />
sponsors. The Poker Rally winners<br />
were James Weber in first place,<br />
followed by Kim Hildewig with<br />
second place, and rounding out the<br />
top three was Patti Pettit in third.<br />

We then took some time to look over each others’<br />
cars and place our votes for the first annual “Concours<br />
d’Non Elegance.” We had a wonderful mix of<br />
vehicles on hand, from classic SCs to late model GT3s.<br />
James Weber won the Concours as well, taking the<br />
People’s Choice Award with his Guards Red Turbo,<br />
complete with carbon ceramic disk brakes. His prize<br />
was a $150 detailing from Stuart’s Paint & Body. Second<br />
place went to Alan Lage with his silver GT3.<br />
The lunch, catered by Hutchins BBQ,<br />
was a hit with the participants.<br />
Double winner James Weber (left) accepting a trophy<br />
from Stuart Singer of Stuart’s Body & Paint, and Kyle<br />
Fahrenthold, owner of the Cars and Cattle Ranch<br />
Following the car show, we all sat down and enjoyed a<br />
very fitting barbecue lunch catered by Hutchins BBQ in<br />
McKinney. Bobbie and Frank Briggs were the big door<br />
prize winners, with two tickets to the Dallas Arboretum,<br />
donated by the Fahrentholds.<br />
The first ever Maverick Region Cars and Cattle: Poker<br />
Rally and Concours d’ Non Elegance went over with great<br />
success. We want to thank the Fahrentholds for hosting<br />
the event. We hope to make next year’s edition an even<br />
better one yet.<br />

ALMS and WEC at COTA: Sports Car Racing Weekend in Austin<br />
By Alan Bambina<br />
OK, OK, enough with the<br />
alphabet soup! All of those<br />
acronyms in the title translate<br />
to American LeMans Series<br />
and World Endurance Championship<br />
at Circuit of the Americas.<br />
This little exposé is not about the<br />
entire weekend of racing with all<br />
the rain on Friday, lack of practice for the drivers<br />
before the race on Saturday, or the six hour endurance<br />
race on Sunday. It is about an incredible opportunity<br />
that was afforded to me for nothing more<br />
than having a little luck. This “luck” was having my<br />
name drawn for a raffle at the PCNA Hospitality<br />
tent at the race, and what I won was an up close and<br />
personal look at what the drivers and crew see all<br />
weekend long: the HOT PITS DURING THE RACE!<br />
Two happy Porsche Club members (as well as two<br />
Corvette Club members, two Viper Club members, two<br />
fill-in-the-blank car club members, etc.) were closely<br />
escorted up and down the entire length of the pits,<br />
viewing each team’s set-up for the race just on the<br />
inside of the concrete wall that separates the active<br />
pit box from the tool boxes and the telemetry. That<br />
Alan’s winnings that weekend also<br />
included two parade laps around the track.<br />
Photo taken from the Bambinas’ 997<br />
Photos by Linda Bambina<br />
Alan with Paul Gregor, who is the PCNA<br />
Manager of Porsche Clubs North America<br />
was the surprise for me. How much electronics and<br />
communication there is between the pits and the cars.<br />
When you watch a race on TV, you see a lot of<br />
footage shot from a camera mounted on the roof<br />
of the car and perhaps one out the back. What you<br />
don’t see are all the rest of the camera images the<br />
teams don’t share with the networks. You don’t see<br />
the monitors with a dizzying array of data showing<br />
the drivers’ performance in each turn, the heart<br />
rate and blood pressure data, engine temperatures<br />
and pressures, and how the G-forces have an effect<br />
on lap times and tire wear. Some of the teams<br />
had a miniature studio of more than ten monitors<br />
right there on the pit wall all showing every conceivable<br />
detail of that car and drivers’ attitude.<br />
Led by Car Corral Fan Facilitators Tiffany and Diezel<br />
Lodder, this fire-suited group of winners went down<br />
the entire length of the pits, then back, stopping at<br />
strategic locations to point out an important detail<br />
or two. Problem was, not all the participants had<br />
headphones to hear his microphone, so he tried to<br />
shout. Not a prayer. The noise level of an Aston Martin<br />
screeching to a halt, fueling and rejoining the fray<br />
was more than his voice could overcome, so most of<br />
us didn’t try to hear him. We witnessed two hot pit<br />
stops while there, and lots of hurried preparation<br />
for upcoming stops. If we lingered too long in one<br />
spot, Tiffany tried to coax us along in an unsuccessful<br />
attempt to keep us all together. Seriously? You try<br />
to keep a bunch of drooling motorheads together.<br />
16 <strong>November</strong>
Alan (center) and the other red-suited winners going places that very few race fans ever get to experience first hand.<br />
All too soon, our time in the pits came to an end,<br />
and we had to wiggle out of our cool (darned hot) red<br />
Nomex fire suits. A few group pictures were taken, and<br />
we were once again part of the great unwashed race<br />
fan conglomerate. I was lucky (again) to have my very<br />
own personal photographer handy, although she was<br />
stopped at the gate and prevented from tagging along.<br />
My many thanks to Paul Gregor as well as Diezel and<br />
Tiffany Lodder for organizing this unforgettable trip<br />
down a path mere mortals hardly ever see. Some days,<br />
it is more about the cars.<br />

Advertiser of the Month: Hoosier Tires Direct .com<br />
By Brian Ringwelski<br />
Guten tag, Maverick PCA<br />
members! Hoosier Tires<br />
Direct .com is proud to<br />
be a new sponsor of the Maverick<br />
Region. Hoosier Tires Direct was<br />
established FOR track enthusiasts BY<br />
track enthusiasts and is proud to be<br />
an authorized Hoosier Tire dealer<br />
that carries the full line of Hoosier race tires and track<br />
tires. We are active PCA members and try to personally<br />
fit in 30 track days a year to get the most enjoyment<br />
out of our current track cars (GT3RS and Cayman R).<br />
Even though we are located in Iowa, we keep the<br />
GT3RS in Texas during the brutally cold Iowa winter<br />
months to be sure we can attend driving events year<br />
round. I have had a chance to recently participate in<br />
your events at MotorSport Ranch Cresson and have<br />
enjoyed meeting current members. In addition to the<br />
Cresson events, I have been fortunate to participate<br />
in five track days at COTA, as well as experiencing an<br />
introduction to Texas World Speedway so far during<br />
<strong>2013</strong>. Short of the Nürburgring, I consider COTA to<br />
be my favorite track so far, and after attending the F1<br />
race last <strong>November</strong>, I was<br />
excited to be able to try it<br />
out myself during <strong>2013</strong>.<br />
While we have already<br />
sold lots of Hoosier tires<br />
to Maverick members<br />
and others throughout<br />
the great state of Texas,<br />
we are looking forward<br />
to meeting more of<br />
you and having the opportunity<br />
to earn your<br />
track tire business in the<br />

sets of Hoosier tires available. Whenever possible<br />
we ship orders the same day they are received.<br />
We are looking forward to<br />
our continued sponsorship<br />
and involvement in the<br />

Hoosier tires, proper<br />
setup, or wish to save some<br />

Drivers’ Education Event 4: MotorSport Ranch 1.7-mile course<br />
By Lori Mauthe, outgoing DE Chair<br />
The Maverick Region Fall Drivers’<br />
Education Series kicked off in style<br />
the weekend of September 21-22.<br />
Attendance was fantastic on this wonderful<br />
Saturday fall morning. We enjoyed our<br />
donuts and coffee prepared very early<br />
by our hospitality princess, Rose Gohlke.<br />
Thanks to our sponsor Falgout and Associates,<br />
and our Treasurer Jim Falgout for the goodies.<br />
The drivers’ meeting for the students was standing<br />
room only – perhaps because there weren’t enough<br />
chairs -- and because we had full groups for green and<br />
blue, and very healthy attendance in yellow and white.<br />
Thanks to Joel Nannis our registrar for getting everyone<br />
signed in, which was hopefully the last time the<br />
students had to talk to Joel, as the next time would likely<br />
be at the black flag station. By Sunday afternoon the<br />
distribution had changed because so many of our drivers<br />
earned promotions – thanks to our great instructor<br />
group: Chief Driving Instructor John Sandusky, Jim<br />
Buckley, and the rest of the instructor team leads.<br />
We ran incident-free for the entire weekend, save<br />

one 944 Turbo that got a bit hot, and a fuse box<br />
in a 911 that decided to smoke in pit lane. All was<br />
handled quickly and expertly by the corner workers<br />
and rescue crew. Bob Benson, our safety guru,<br />
always assembles a great crew for our events.<br />
We like our corner workers and safety teams to have a<br />

A driver may not like getting the<br />
black flag with the orange circle,<br />
affectionately called the “meatball”<br />
flag. However, when they come<br />
into the pit lane and the black flag<br />
official finds a leak, or some loose<br />
item, they realize that they were<br />
just saved from a very expensive<br />
repair. When a driver may miss<br />
their brake point and go off track<br />
or spin out in a corner, the corner<br />
workers are so fast to get out the<br />
yellow flag to warn others to slow<br />
down. We truly could not run<br />
such a fine quality event without<br />
this great crew on our corners.<br />
So next time you are at an event,<br />
wave to them on the warm up<br />
and cool down laps, and be sure<br />
to say thank you at lunch time.<br />
Travis Howard, our Gridmaster,<br />
did a fantastic job as always, managing<br />
the “waiting area” on the grid,<br />
as students and instructors wait in<br />
anticipation for their run group<br />
to start. He makes sure everyone<br />
is strapped in, helmets fastened,<br />
windows down and READY. He<br />
smiles all day long! Thank you<br />
Travis, for all that you do.<br />

In between run sessions, each<br />
group has a classroom session to<br />
go over techniques, tips about<br />
taking certain corners, and in<br />
general, the advanced instructor<br />
will answer questions. While all<br />
of our classroom instructors do a<br />
great job, a special “yahoo” goes<br />
out to Bryan Bell for the Green<br />
classroom on Sunday, and Craig<br />
Jenson for the Blue classroom<br />
both days. I had many students<br />
come up to me during the course<br />
of the weekend and comment<br />
on how much they learned and<br />
enjoyed their presentations.<br />
Lunchtime featured our charity<br />
laps, and the Susan G Komen<br />
foundation was our charity. We<br />
had record contributions from a<br />
great group of DE’ers and guests.<br />
Families with two small kids in the<br />
back seat of a 911 enjoyed 5 laps<br />
around our great home raceway.<br />
In the pavilion, the catered lunch<br />
from Del Norte was fantastic as<br />
always. More bench racing, and we<br />
can’t wait to get back on track!<br />
On Saturday afternoon, after the<br />
final run group, many stayed for<br />
the track walk. A few of us training<br />
for the Komen 3-Day 60-mile<br />
walk literally walked the full 1.7<br />
mile track, but that’s not what the<br />
track walk was really all about.<br />

A group taking the Saturday Evening track walk<br />
classroom instructor gave an in depth explanation<br />
of how to drive the corner, up close and personal.<br />
Walking through the corner brings a totally new<br />
perspective, and in particular, looking back from the<br />
apex, you see elevation changes and nuances of the<br />
track that just aren’t comprehended at 60+ mph.<br />
Once seen this close, driving through at speed the<br />
next day brings more precision and overall fun! The<br />
groups spent 15-20 minutes at each corner, and the<br />
proceeded to the next. Thanks to our instructors<br />
for staying overtime for the track walk experience.<br />
This event was my last full event as your DE Chair,<br />
since Peter and I have moved to Michigan. I will<br />
certainly miss all of the great people who have touched<br />
my life through the program. Special thanks to Wendy<br />
Shoffit and John Hamilton for their support on the<br />
logistics and on-event coaching. I was overcome with<br />
emotion when John presented me with a special<br />
plaque of appreciation as we passed the baton to Chris<br />
Tabor on Sunday morning. Chris will be taking on the<br />
DE Chair role going forward, and he brings enthusiasm<br />
and fresh ideas to keep the improvement and<br />
enhancement of the student experience forward. I<br />
hope to see many of you at other events down the<br />
road.<br />

I Get Around: The Memories Last a Lifetime<br />
By Dick Badler<br />
Courtesy High Gear, the Rocky Mountain Region Newsletter<br />
Editor’s Note: Denver resident Dick<br />
Badler writes regularly for outlets that<br />
include TFLCar.com, Planet-9.com,<br />
and High Gear, the publication of<br />
the Rocky Mountain Region of PCA.<br />
Over the years, Dick has owned six<br />
Porsches. He still has number three, a<br />
‘78 911SC, which he bought in 1988.<br />
It happened<br />
just like that.<br />
As I was<br />
leaving an appointment,<br />
my<br />
host introduced<br />
me to her next<br />
client. Then she<br />
noted, almost parenthetically, “.<br />
. . oh, and she knows something<br />
about cars and racing.”<br />
Really?<br />
“Oh yes,” my host said. “Does the<br />
name Peter Revson mean anything<br />
to you?”<br />
Uh . . . yeah . . .<br />
“Well, meet his sister, Julie.”<br />
No kidding! Julie and I chatted<br />
for a few minutes. And, in the<br />
course of the conversation, she<br />
dropped the names of people<br />
she met and knew. Dan Gurney,<br />
Roger Penske, Jackie Stewart.<br />
And she asked me if I read<br />
“the book.” What book? Why,<br />
the book co-written by the late<br />
editor of Autoweek, Leon Mandel:<br />
“Speed With Style: the Autobiography<br />
of Peter Revson.”<br />
I hadn’t. For no good reason. I<br />
always admired Leon Mandel’s<br />
work, especially at Autoweek.<br />
So my host said “just a minute”<br />
and came back with a copy of<br />
the book that Julie had obviously<br />
loaned to her. “Here,” she said,<br />
“just don’t lose my place.”<br />
I followed up with my host to get<br />
Julie’s contact information, to see<br />
24 <strong>November</strong><br />
if she’d be willing to talk about her<br />
brother, say, over lunch. And so<br />
we met for what turned out to be<br />
a much longer conversation than I<br />
expected. Here are the highlights.<br />
The first thing I did was cram<br />
on the book, in order to prepare.<br />
And that’s where I had my first<br />
surprise: it turns out that the book<br />
was published posthumously. It<br />
came out the day after Revson died,<br />
testing at Kyalami in South Africa.<br />
The publisher and Mandel decided<br />
to leave it in circulation anyway.<br />
It became very clear that Julie<br />
idolized her brother. He was the<br />
oldest of four; Julie was third. “If<br />
it had not been for the accident,<br />
he would have retired at the end<br />
of the 1974 season,” she said. “He<br />
wanted to do other things.” She<br />
paused. “I miss him every day.”<br />
“What do you think of his career?”<br />
she asked me.<br />
I said I thought he was very, very<br />
good. And very, very driven, so to<br />
speak, which is what it takes. But<br />
he was broader-minded than a<br />
lot of his competitors. He could<br />
walk away. And that probably<br />
kept him from becoming a real<br />
potential world champion.<br />
I said that, in every era, there’s<br />
always someone who stands out<br />
as the best of the best. But these<br />
people are willing to make a<br />
supreme personal sacrifice to<br />
get there. If you don’t have it<br />
in you, if you don’t have that<br />
single-minded focus, beyond all<br />
else, it’s not going to happen.<br />
“Like Schumacher?”<br />
Yes, like Schumacher, before<br />
he retired the first time. I think<br />
Schumacher was so driven, he<br />
couldn’t get it out of his system.<br />
Nothing else compared. Nothing<br />
else probably even came close. So<br />
he came back . . . and did nothing<br />
. . . and he retired again.<br />
“And Peter?”<br />
Let’s put it in perspective. To<br />
get to Formula 1 is unbelievable.<br />
To do so as an American is really<br />
unbelievable. And to win two<br />
Grands Prix, in a career cut short,<br />
is really, really unbelievable.<br />
She smiled. “Who’s at the top today?”<br />
Oh, Vettel. No question. And the<br />
thing is, he comes across as a kid,<br />
with this grin, as if to say, “Pinch<br />
me. Isn’t this incredible? I’m as<br />
amazed about my career as you<br />
are.” It’s kind of like Jay Leno saying,<br />
hey, if you were me, you’d indulge<br />
your car passion like me, too.<br />
But look, I said, it was a long time<br />
ago, 39 years.<br />
“Yes, but you’d be amazed. People<br />
remember. I was at Amelia Island,<br />
and people were coming up to me.<br />
They wanted my autograph. Mine.<br />
“At the Daytona 24-hour race, I<br />
saw Dan Gurney. I went up to him<br />
and introduced myself. I didn’t<br />
think he heard me. So I said it<br />
again. And then, oh, he spun<br />
around. He was very polite, and<br />
he invited me to come to any race,<br />
as his guest, just let him know.<br />
“You know, we lost another<br />
brother, a few years earlier, Douglas.<br />
Also racing. But I think he<br />
just did it because Peter did it.”<br />
Didn’t Peter win Sebring in a<br />
Porsche with Steve McQueen?<br />
“Second. And, by the way, Peter<br />
drove nine of the 12 hours - Mc-<br />
Queen had a broken foot.”<br />
Peter never married, and never<br />
had children. Do you have children?<br />
“One son.”<br />
Is he interested in racing?
“Yes, but mostly NASCAR. Go figure. But he has the<br />
same personal drive, the same focus as Peter. It’s eerie.”<br />
The book really intimates that he would have had one<br />
season left. What do you think he would have done, after<br />
he retired?<br />
“Oh, Peter was working on it. He already had a car<br />
dealership and a memorabilia and parts store. He<br />
wouldn’t become a Roger Penske. Penske never stops.<br />
It’s his life. But Peter would have figured it out.”<br />
And, with that, Julie stared out past me, into space.<br />
Flashing Lights in the Hill Country: Hill Country Rallye <strong>2013</strong><br />
By Michael Vriesenga, Longhorn Region PCA and Lone Star 912<br />
Photos courtesy of the Author<br />
Fifty years ago,<br />
Porsche owners<br />
acknowledged<br />
each other when<br />
they passed on the<br />
road by flashing<br />
their lights. It was<br />
a friendly way of<br />
recognizing the<br />
love of driving and fine machinery<br />
that Porsche ownership implied.<br />
During March 21-24, <strong>2013</strong>, that<br />
common love of back roads and<br />
great cars bloomed again as 56 classic<br />
Porsches, including eleven 356s,<br />
thirty-two 911s, and twelve 912s<br />
gathered in Boerne for the 12th<br />
Annual Hill Country Rallye (HCR).<br />
Porsche enthusiasts from around<br />
Austin organize the Hill Country<br />
Rallye annually. It is not sponsored<br />
by any organization, and there is<br />
no competition. HCR offers an<br />
opportunity to share your passion<br />
for Porsches with fellow enthusiasts<br />
over curving back roads,<br />
tasty meals, and parking lot talks<br />
in a lawn chair with your favorite<br />
beverage. This year that passion<br />
drew Porsche drivers and fans<br />
from as far away as North Carolina,<br />
California, Mexico and Japan.<br />
Friday morning dawned cool and<br />
misty, while two groups circled west<br />
from Boerne up Highway 16 to Kerrville<br />
and then east to the Alamo<br />
Springs Café and General Store. It’s<br />
easy to enjoy both the switchbacks<br />
through the Medina Mountains<br />
and the third best burgers in Texas.<br />
After lunch, drivers chose “hops”<br />
or “grapes” for tours of the Real<br />
Ale Brewing Company in Blanco<br />
or the Sister Creek Vineyard.<br />
Following a catered barbecue<br />
dinner, Shiner and conversation<br />
flowed freely in the parking lot<br />
as drivers admired and discussed<br />
each others’ cars. The Porsches<br />
from Monterrey, Mexico were<br />
among the most distinctive:<br />
brightly colored, immaculately<br />
prepared, and diligently washed<br />
and dried after each drive.<br />
Saturday, the Porsches split into<br />
driving and touring groups. The<br />
driving group explored the “Three<br />
Sisters,” famous for their length<br />
and curves. The touring group<br />
twisted up Crabapple Creek Road<br />
to the LBJ Ranch, where they<br />
were delighted to have Lynda<br />
Bird Johnson Robb lead the tour<br />
of her parents’ home. Saturday<br />
evening culminated with an Italian<br />
buffet supper, California<br />
wine, and door prizes, but no<br />
awards. The Hill Country Rallye<br />
is a celebration of driving great<br />
roads and a shared passion for<br />
Porsches, not a competition.<br />
Morrie Larson of Lone Star 912, as<br />
well as Jamie Novak and Bill Conway,<br />
deserve a standing ovation for<br />
the work they did putting HCR<br />
<strong>2013</strong> together. Sean Brindley’s Web<br />
site (http://www.hillcountryrallye.<br />

get better in the future.<br />

Autocross 5 Results: An Autocrosser 16 Years in the Making<br />
By Jasmine Shoffit<br />
If you don’t know me, my name<br />
is Jasmine Shoffit and I’m<br />
the daughter of James and<br />
Wendy Shoffit. My parents joined<br />
the Porsche Club when I was about<br />
9 months old, so I’ve been around<br />
cars pretty much my entire life and<br />
I’ve always been expected to go into<br />
cars too. Pretty recently I got my driver’s license and,<br />
as you could probably guess, my parents were elated.<br />
They couldn’t wait to sign me up for my first autocross.<br />
This all seemed pretty natural to me. I mean, of course<br />
I would start driving like my parents, of course I would<br />
start doing autocrosses, of course I would eventually<br />
graduate from watching Disney movies in the back<br />
of our car during the events. But I didn’t really feel<br />
ready. And I still don’t, to be honest. I really like my<br />
Disney princess movies. Not to mention the fact that<br />
I’m not even confident enough in my driving to drive<br />
completely alone. Nevertheless, I let them sign me up.<br />
As the day of my first autocross EVER (as I kept being<br />
reminded by my parents and everyone who knew me in<br />
the club) approached, I began to feel more and more<br />
nervous. I was scared about killing the car, spinning,<br />
running over every single cone, but mostly not being<br />
able to live up to everyone’s expectations. I have some<br />
pretty big shoes to fill. I mean, my mom has gotten the<br />
Fastest Lady<br />
trophy three<br />
times on the<br />
National level<br />
and my dad<br />
is even faster<br />
than my mom<br />
(most some<br />
days). Yeah,<br />
no pressure.<br />
So it’s finally<br />
the day of the<br />
autocross,<br />
and I’m pretty<br />
much flipping<br />
out inside. Not<br />
to mention,<br />
I’d caught a<br />
cold the day<br />
before and I<br />
was still coughing<br />
my head<br />
26 <strong>November</strong><br />
off. I really don’t know how my parents convinced<br />
me to go at that point, but they did, and we arrived<br />
at our destination: a big, empty, paved lot that we<br />
rent from the Mineral Wells airport to autocross<br />
on. I could already see the sea of cones making up<br />
the course and I felt like I was going to throw up.<br />
But even if I chickened out, my parents were still<br />
going to race, so we began emptying the Fiat.<br />
That’s right, I said Fiat. I can’t handle the clutch quite<br />
well on the Boxster or 911s, so we had to bring my tiny,<br />
cute little red Fiat. The pros to bringing it are: I’m<br />
familiar with it; driving it in the autocross will help me<br />
better understand the limitations of it; and it’s really<br />
cute. The cons are: I’m in a Fiat at a Porsche event;<br />
and, if there was even any chance before, there is no<br />

helmet with a tiara airbrushed on<br />
it that I borrowed from my mom,<br />
and adjusting my seat to a more<br />
proper racing position. As I drove<br />
up to the starting line, I was already<br />
getting a lot of sideline support,<br />
even though I killed it probably<br />
three times just getting there.<br />
Nerves, I guess. I like to imagine my<br />
mom was dramatically wiping a tear<br />
from her eye in a very cinematic<br />
moment as I started my first run.<br />
But that probably didn’t happen.<br />
What did happen though, was that<br />
I was given the signal to go and I<br />
lifted my foot off the clutch and<br />
pressed the gas . . . and went about<br />
10 mph towards the first turn. My<br />
dad, who was instructing me, kept<br />
saying “Gas, gas, gas, gas, gas!” but<br />
it wasn’t making me go that much<br />
faster. I did eventually start gaining<br />
speed through the course, but I was<br />
still extremely nervous (and sick).<br />
I think for my first run I got like<br />
a 120. I ran again, and this time I<br />
actually took my father’s suggestions<br />
and I knocked off 10 seconds.<br />
Again and I got 3 seconds faster.<br />
I was feeling pretty good by this<br />
point, then my friend Geneva, who<br />
was also new at autocrossing, pulled<br />
up and her time was one second<br />
faster. Ugh. I didn’t let it get to<br />
me, though. In this competition,<br />
the only person I could compete<br />
with was myself. So two runs and<br />
two hit cones later, it was time for<br />
lunch and I was feeling good about<br />
myself. I ate a tasty burger and<br />
shake then we went back to the<br />
track. I was confident that I was going<br />
to go faster, looking at the way<br />
I had improved in the morning.<br />
I was wrong. I got waaaay slower.<br />
My first run of the afternoon was<br />
very close to my second run of<br />
the morning, back when I was still<br />
scared to accelerate, and this time<br />
I had hit a cone. I was a little mad,<br />
but I figured it was just a fluke and I<br />
was going to get better. My next run<br />
I didn’t hit a cone (yay), but I got<br />
a very similar time to the previous<br />
one. Then the next run I got my<br />
first DNF . . . and hit a cone. Needless<br />
to say, I was a bit frustrated (for<br />
a visual, imagine Godzilla tearing<br />
apart Tokyo). Everybody kept<br />
trying to calm me, saying that most<br />
people got slower in the afternoon,<br />
but it didn’t matter, I was still extremely<br />
mad. It was only until after<br />
the event was over and we were<br />
driving home that I did calm down.<br />
Reflecting on my first autocross<br />
EVER, I really did have fun. It was<br />
really cool and everyone was really<br />
nice and supportive, as they usually<br />
are. It was a really good learning<br />
experience for me, especially<br />
learning to never take my afternoon<br />
runs. I also learned a good<br />
lesson in wearing sunscreen. Ouch.<br />
I will definitely want to go autocrossing<br />
again, and maybe next<br />
time I’ll drive an actual Porsche.<br />
