Carey On...<br />

By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor<br />

Ah, summer<br />

is in<br />

full swing.<br />

Which, of course,<br />

means that<br />

Maverick Region<br />

events, at least<br />

those that involve<br />

being outside in the heat, go on<br />

hiatus until cooler weather arrives.<br />

The Porsche Parade will be over<br />

by the time you have this issue<br />

in your hands, and we hope to<br />

have full coverage of it in the<br />

August issue. But in the meantime,<br />

check out what’s in this issue.<br />

First is Ash Seidl-Staley’s continuing<br />

saga of restoring his Grandfather’s<br />

911, which unfortunately<br />

has an unhappy ending. There<br />

are also a couple of articles about<br />

the one-day Drivers’ Ed event in<br />

June. Hint: there is a job opening<br />

in the DE group, so if you would<br />

like to step up your involvment in<br />

Drivers’ Education, take note!<br />

There is also an informative<br />

article written by Maverick Region<br />

member Hunter Biederman<br />

about what can happen if you get<br />

stopped for DWI. Now of course,<br />

the vast majority of us are responsible<br />

drinkers, but circumstances<br />

can sometimes arise in which we<br />

are unexpected and undeserved<br />

participants. Hunter’s article may<br />

help prepare you or someone<br />

you know for that situation.<br />

Also in this issue are our regular<br />

features: Cliff’s Ramblings, Advertiser<br />

of the Month, Happy<br />

Hour coverage, and the minutes<br />

of our monthly Board Meeting,<br />

for those of you who like to<br />

keep up with club business.<br />

But it seems like something else<br />

happened recently . . . what was<br />

it . . . oh, right, the COTA Club<br />

Race and DE! We have a four-page<br />

spread waiting for you at the center<br />

of this issue, from Maverick Region<br />

contributors such as Luke Edson,<br />

Betty Perrine, Matt Platts, Charlie<br />

Davis, Linda Bambina, and especially<br />

our Chief Driving Instructor John<br />

Sandusky, whose stunning photos<br />

make this article a real standout<br />

piece, even if I do say so myself . . .<br />

The Carrera of the Americas<br />

Club Race and Drivers’ Ed event<br />

was put on by Hill Country, Lone<br />

Star, and Maverick Regions,<br />

and was an unqualified success<br />

for all three regions. We hope<br />

to be able to put one on again<br />

next year. But if you didn’t<br />

make it to this year’s event . . .<br />

Read on!<br />

Here are a couple of John<br />

Sandusky’s COTA photos<br />

to whet your appetite.<br />
