Slipstream - July 2013

dollars to help fund eight instructors
for this training; approved.
Participation in the Carrera of
the Americas Club Race and Drivers’
Ed in May was a great success;
we hope to get to do that again
sometime. Lori is relocating out
of the region, so we are on the
hunt for a new DE Chair. The next
DE is September 21-22, for which
registration opens six weeks prior.
Part of the reason that this registration
opening date was chosen was
to accommodate another Park
Place-hosted DE orientation in
early August. The October Club
Race at Eagles Canyon Raceway
includes a solo-only DE.
Club Race Registrar Wendy Shoffit
began her report by mentioning
that the feedback she received
regarding May’s three-day, threeregion
COTA event was all positive,
with the exception of some to-beexpected
first-time adjustments
that needed to be made (e.g. DE
track time was limited due to a
crash). Event Chair David Gross
(Hill Country Region) created a
very detailed document explaining
all the run session shortages. We
are grateful that our Autocross/
Time Trial chair Travis Howard did
such a great job running the grid!
Wendy noted that some Chairs’
phone numbers need to be updated
in Slipstream. Club Directories
are now available on clubregistration.net.
The nationally standardized
non-disclosure agreement is in
draft and will be approved soon.
Public Relations Chair Linda
Bambina displayed some of her
recent clothing and accessory
purchases from the Goodie Store.
Also, she is working with club VP
Gareth Maurice on getting publicity
in the national club magazine
Porsche Panorama for our always-fun
Sunday Drives, as well as an article
for, and help with, coordinating a
vintage car presence at the COTA
event in the future. Finally, she
is working with other chairs on
aligning and bringing current the
appropriate number of Slipstream
issues distributed to our advertisers.
Autocross/Time Trial chair Travis
Howard started his report by thanking
Maverick Region members for
helping with grid at COTA. Also,
he said that the June 16 Autocross
was moved from Dallas Raceway
in Crandall to Pennington Field
in Bedford, due to a change in
management at Dallas Raceway.
Thirty-five drivers had signed up
as of June 5, with 65 being the
cap. The June event was the last
opportunity to “tweak” before
the Parade. Bring home some
trophies from Parade, Mavericks!
