Drifting: Exclusive AND Inclusive 

By John Hamilton, Region President 

Happy New Year! I hope 2014 

will be a great year for you. 

We are members of a 

quite exclusive club . . . and an 

inclusive club, all at the same time. 

Exclusive because there aren’t 

that many Porsches sold each 

year. Did you know that in 2012, only 35,000 new 

Porsches (including ALL MODELS) were sold in the 

U.S.? That is what General Motors sells in 4 days! 

Inclusive because we include all our models and years 

in the club, which contribute to the fact that the Porsche 

Club is the largest single-badge club in the world. 

So for us to continue to grow, we, as a local club, 

need to continue to develop programs that will bring 

enjoyment and benefits to our club members. Some of 

those programs are already in existence, while others 

haven’t even been thought of yet! That’s where we 

need YOU to provide us with ideas and feedback on 

ways in which we can provide more entertainment, 

fun and benefits to a broader range of our members. 

So if YOU have any suggestions or ideas that can help 

us expand our reach and be more inclusive to our 

members and future members, please send them in. I 

have a Suggestion Box link on our website home page, 

or you can email me directly here: 

president@mavpca.org . Either way, I can’t wait to hear 

from you. Thank you for your suggestions in advance! 

Mav of the Month 

Shortly after Andy Mears joined 

the Maverick Region, he stepped 

up out of nowhere to help Linda 

Bambina with Slipstream Distribution 

following Hiram Saunders’ 

“retirement” (after more than 

30 years!) from handling all the 

perplexing Post Office paperwork. 

This was in early 2000. 

ALEXIS A. V. CAMPBELL, Proprietor 

1235 William D. Tate Ave 

Grapevine, TX 76051 

Filling out those exacting forms is a thankless 

but very crucial part of the job of getting our special 

periodical postage rates. In addition, he also figured 

out how to update the entire process by adapting the 

special address barcode system we use on each Slipstream. 

Since all address changes have to come from 

the PCA National Database (not a local one), it is up 

to him to get that new list each month and submit it to 

the mail distribution center in Ft. Worth. Andy is a vital 

part of your Slipstream team and 

is very deserving of this month’s 

Mav of the Month recognition. 

So congratulations, Andy, on your 

recognition, and enjoy your gift 

certificate to the Silver Fox Steakhouse 

in Grapevine.

Carey On... 

By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor 

Twenty 

fourteen. 

Another 

year beckons. 

Where to start? 

How about with 

our All Member 

Party (our first Social 

event of the year) on Saturday, 

January 25? It’s a great opportunity 

to find out what our organization is 

all about. And please don’t forget 

to buy a ticket or two for the Macan 

Raffle (see page 15), in which you 

can win a one-year lease on the 

new Porsche SUV. The drawing will 

be at the All Member Party. Social 

Chair Tracy Robertson and her 

team will have several more events 

coming your way this year as well. 

There are six Drivers’ Ed events 

targeted for 2014, with four at 

MotorSport Ranch and two at 

Eagles Canyon. Plus this year’s 

local PCA Club Race will be at 

MotorSport Ranch as well. 

A second running of the Carrera 

of the Americas PCA Club Race is 

in early negotiations with Circuit of 

the Americas management. Their 

track rental price has gone way 

up compared to last year (from 

$29,500 per day to $50,000 per 

day!), so Bill Miller, our COTA 

liaison, is working with Lone 

Star and Hill Country Regions to 

determine how to put on another 

Club Race without losing money 

on it. One of the options is to 

make it a two-day event as a Club 

Race only, with no Drivers’ Ed 

component. It’s all very fluid at this 

point, so don’t count it out yet. 

The Time Trial and Autocross series 

will be back in full force again 

in 2014, and double event chair 

Travis Howard hopes to be able to 

schedule at least a few Autocrosses 

at Dallas Raceway in Crandall, to 

accommodate you autocrossers on 

the east side of the Metroplex. The 

events we had there last spring were 

well attended and boasted a big, 

relatively smooth parking lot to use. 

The Three Amigos of Sunday 

Drives are planning on some more 

fun routes and destinations, and 

have made some great strides this 

year in getting the drive groups 

smaller and more manageable, so 

that those who like to tour briskly 

on the twisties can do so, and those 

who prefer to proceed at a more 

leisurely pace and see the sights 

can do that without fear of slowing 

down the rest of the group. 

We also hope to schedule a Rally 

or two in conjunction with those 

Sunday Drives, so those of you with 

the desire to pit your brainpower 

and navigational skills against our 

Rallymasters can try that type of 

street-legal competition on for size. 

Our Concours d’Elegance Chair 

Andy Kay would like to expand our 

Concours program as well, adding 

an event in the fall to include 

actual judging for a more competitive 

atmosphere, in addition to our 

traditional Peoples’ Choice judging 

at May at Mayo’s. Andy has had a 

lot of experience with Concours 

events in the past, and we look 

forward to what he has to offer. 

On a more national level, the 

Porsche Parade will be in Monterey, 

CA this year, June 15-21. 

If you plan to go, register early, 

because it will surely fill up quickly. 

And if you are a fan of the PCA 

Escapes, this year’s edition will be 

in Orlando, FL on November 6-9. 

Changing gears for a moment, I 

would like to welcome a new advertiser 

to Slipstream: Sorted Out Organizing 

Services. Thanks for supporting 

our award-winning newsletter! 

Looking forward to another great 

year of fun with our Porsches! Read 

on!

Maverick Minutes: December Board Meeting 

By Renee Farinella, Region Secretary December 4, 2013 

The final 

Maverick 

Region 

Board meeting of 

2013 convened 

at 7:02pm. 

Club President 

John Hamilton 

began the meeting by providing 

the Membership report on 

behalf of the Froehlichs, who 

were unable to attend. Membership 

numbers slipped to 2267, 

with 39 non-renewals. Also, John 

spoke with Bill Miller, our Circuit 

of the Americas liaison, who let 

us know that a substantial (and 

disappointing) price increase is 

in the works for the track rental, 

from $29,500 to $50,000 per day. 

Discussion then began around the 

implications and how the Maverick 

Region (along with partners Hill 

Country and Lone Star Regions) 

may respond and be affected. 

Club Treasurer Jim Falgout 

was up next and reported that, 

though the Germany trip from 

last year’s Founder’s Day drawing 

has not yet been paid out, and 

Sponsorship has not yet come in, 

we remain in healthy fiscal shape, 

due in part to some successful and 

well-attended High-Performance 

Drivers’ Education events. 

On that note, our new club DE 

Chair Chris Tabor was enthused to 

say that the season’s final one-day 

event at MSR was one of the best 

yet with 95 participants. Chris has 

some exciting new plans for DE, 

so stay tuned, and please plan to 

attend the All Member Party on 

Saturday, January 25 to get more 

advanced information about his 

experience-enriching plans. The 

dates for this year’s seven events 

should be posted by the publishing 

of this Slipstream. Chris said also 

that he and his team will be doing 


some testing of radios (UHF has 

more penetrating power vs VHF, 

which has greater distance) to see 

which we will best be served by 

with the new 30-unit purchase. 

My Secretary’s report was next 

with a submission of a new HPDE 

logo to the national contest; the 

winner will be announced at 

month’s end. I am looking forward 

to helping support Chris’s 

increased DE marketing, off-track, 

and operations efforts. Also, I 

hope to continue to work with 

Wendy on By Laws updates and 

bringing the voting process to a 

fully electronic method. Finally, 

we encourage everyone to join us 

for our fun and spirited Sunday 

Drives this upcoming year. We 

have some engaging and special 

routes and destinations planned! 

Which brings us to our Sunday 

Drives Tourmeister, John Harvey’s 

report. A great time was had by all 

for the 35 cars and 58 participants 

who made it out to Ft. Richardson. 

Some of these special memories are 

captured in the article and photos 

elsewhere in this issue. The Frick’n 

Toy run had to be canceled due to 

the sleet storms, with the request 

that gift cards be mailed to John 

Hamilton. Thank you everyone for 

your support of those in need during 

the holidays through our club! 

Vice President Gareth Maurice 

announced that he needs the 

2014 schedules for insurance 

timelines and for Slipstream ads. 

Autocross and Time Trial Chair 

Travis Howard reported that we 

had 30 cars and 45 drivers at the 

November 16 and 17 Mineral Wells 

Time Trial and Autocross events. 

The season’s final two Time Trials 

on December 7 and 8 had to 

be cancelled due to inclement 

weather. The scoring will be worked 

through, and a fun Awards presentation 

dinner will be planned for 

January. Travis is obtaining dates 

for next year and will post them 

soon. Also, Travis wants to paint the 

Time Trial course cone markers 

again. He did it three years ago, 

and God bless him (you KNOW 

you bleed Stuttgart when you 

WANT to paint…), he is obsessing 

again. Lol! We can laugh because 

we know many of us identify with 

this on a number of levels, right?! 

Tech Session Chair Ed Mullenix 

was in attendance and is 

looking forward to hosting the 

next Tech Session on Saturday, 

January 18, which will be on the 

2001-2005 Intermediate Shaft 

(IMS) bearing issue. Brendan 

Eagan will send out the RSVP. 

PR Chair Linda Bambina is reviving 

her series of articles called 

Garage Glimpses, and asked that 

if anyone knows about any of our 

Members’ great garages, to let 

her know. Also, she said that she 

would like to update the Board 

and Volunteers’ contact information 

in Slipstream and our website. 

Kudos and thank you to Christy 

Payne for her story on the Huffaker 

Hughes Hope House that ran in 

the December Slipstream, and how 

our support is benefitting there. 

Club Race Registrar Wendy Shoffit 

said that she is continuing to 

work on getting more of our event 

photos uploaded on to the website, 

probably via Flickr. John will add 

the link to his monthly emails as 

well. I suggested we add more videos, 

too, and write an article providing 

opportunity for our Members 

to tell their Porsche “story” (similar 

to what Lisa Steele used to do for 

New Members), as well as short 

videos around our events (hope to 

help with this in my new Marketing 

role!). More to come on that!

Concours Chair Andy Kay began his report by 

requesting confirmation that the May at Mayo’s 

and Autos in the Park Concours events are going 

to happen in 2014, and that he is working on adding 

another event in the October timeframe, this 

time with real judging, not just Peoples’ Choice 

ballots. Frank Briggs will bring his many years of 

experience to help with this. Andy would like for us 

to extend an invitation to the 928 and 356 folks. 

We were then honored with a visit from member 

Michael Vatter, who shared some great stories about 

driving in Germany on the Autobahn, where speeds 

of 160 mph are not uncommon. The retelling of 

these great times brought us all from “operations and 

technical” mode to “art and romance” mode, another 

reminder of how we love being Porsche drivers. He 

is going back to Germany to pick up a new car, so we 

asked if we could write an article about that, as well as 

some of his other Porsche-related adventures when he 

returns. Thank you for taking the time to be our guest 

at the board meeting, Michael! And as a reminder, all 

members are welcome any time at our Board Meetings. 

Slipstream Editor Carey Spreen reported that there 

were a number of challenges that made the December

Destination Restoration: No-Start Mondays 

By Ash Seidl-Staley 

It is well contended that the 

Porsche 914 is easy to work on. 

All it needs to run is a battery to 

crank the starter and to provide spark 

in the ignition system; fuel carried 

from the front tank to the injectors; 

oil to lube all the engine parts; and 

air! Even though there is minimal 

maintenance involved with these components, when 

somebody says his car won’t start, it can be very tiresome 

to troubleshoot possible causes, because all of 

the things mentioned above and all the things they 

are connected to could potentially be spots of failure. 

My 914 slowly began not to crank over time. I would 

get in and turn the key only to find that nothing would 

happen. The fuel pump would buzz, but nothing was 

getting to the starter to tell it to get the engine going. 

I started my troubleshooting by testing everything 

involved, one component at a time, though I do 

admit I probably didn’t do it in the correct order. 

First, being the caveman that I am, I pulled out 

a rubber mallet, and gently whacked the starter. 

The brute force caused it to engage again, with no 

Photos by the Author 

problems surfacing until a few days later. I checked 

and cleaned the ground points at the battery terminal, 

and under the car on the transmission, but 

When removing the switch from the dash, 

remember to keep the key IN the ignition

still got nothing. I then took my battery and my 

starter to the shop to be tested, and found that my 

battery was depleted, and the starter was sticking. I 

purchased a new battery and starter, and after installing 

them I learned that nothing had changed! 

This is when I turned to the Kindle and began 

searching all the Pelican Parts forums. I posted my 

problem in a new thread and soon had replies regarding 

things to check for. The first one on the list 

was the dreaded seat belt relay. Apparently Porsche 

thought of a great way to maximize safety by installing 

a relay under the passenger seat that would not 

only provide the “open door” beeping, but would 

require the driver (and passenger if there was one) to 

buckle up before the engine could be started. I agree 

with the safety measures but it seems like a waste of 

time on Porsche’s part because most of the people 

who purchased the ‘74 and later models bypassed 

the relay anyway. My bypassed relay was still intact, 

and after cleaning and reconnecting, I still received 

no power from the ignition slot to the starter. 

attached to the switch, which runs through the dash 

to the seatbelt relay and then back to the engine bay, 

was loose and had been spliced three times. I fixed 

the butchered wire then buttoned up the steering 

column and dash. Really hoping that was my problem, 

I turned the key and got, yet again, nothing. 

At my wits end, I took a voltmeter, given to me 

by my Uncle as an early birthday present, and 

checked all the points where power is distributed. 

The new battery was right where it needed to be, 

the power supplied to the starter from the battery 

was at 12v, and the little yellow wire (yep that 

one) that leaves the engine bay and attaches to the 

starter terminal also had 12v running through it. 

The result of years of turning the key. 

The eroded switch is on the right. 

A possible culprit -- multiple splices in the ignition wire 

The next path recommended was to take out the 

ignition switch in the steering column, as they seem 

to crack after years of use. About thirty minutes later, 

I had the ignition switch out, and to my surprise, 

found that it was cracked! The end of the piece was 

eroded by thousands of key rotations. Fortunately, 

after a small online search, I was lucky enough to find 

a replacement part for $15 (got to love VW). While 

under the column, I also found that the yellow wire 

Perplexed, I took off the new starter thinking it was 

the one-in-a-million dud of the batch. I took it to the 

store where it freakishly passed its test. Rather than 

buying another new starter, I cleaned and re-greased 

my old one and bolted it back on. I got in the car 

not expecting anything, but when I turned the key 

I was met with a deep VAROOM! The car started. 

Looking back I am pretty confident my starting 

problems were originally caused by the eroded 

ignition switch. Cleaning, inspecting, and replacing 

the various starting components was timeconsuming, 

and required a little cash to be shelled 

out, but overall strengthened the livelihood of 

the 914. Not to mention it was tons of FUN!!

Garage Glimpses: Jack’s Garage – A Lifetime of Porsche Experiences 

By Linda Bambina 

Welcome 

to a new 

feature 

in Slipstream. 

This is actually 

the rebirth of an 

idea I started 

back in the ‘80s. 

I remember being amazed at the 

size and versatility of an oversized 

garage that Hiram Saunders had. 

Everywhere you look, you see Jack’s 

amazing memories come to life. 

Jack with some of his 

LeMans memorabilia 

He has stories galore, with a 

smooth way of going from one to 

another, all the time listening to 

your responses and questions, in 

his easy going manner. While Jack 

acknowledges the uniqueness of his 

collection (of cars, clocks, posters, 

Photos by the Author 

on a single wall or displayed in an 

entire room. Point taken, but yikes 

stripes, Jack, I sure don’t know 

anyone else who has visited with 

Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Nasher, Bill 

Neale (automotive artist legend), 

and Porsche 356 Outlaw legend 

Rod Emory, as well as countless 

race car drivers and other movers 

and shakers (and many, many other 

auto enthusiasts and visitors) in 

that Ultimate Garage of yours! 

But now I think I have seen the ultimate 

in versatility and “oversized”: 

Jack Griffin’s Memorabilia Museum/Garage, 

which is also a great 

entertaining space twice the size of 

my whole house. The photos you 

see simply do not do it justice. It is 

such an engaging room, with the 

most delightful of hosts. The colors, 

the lighting, the background music! 

One of the many collections to 

be found in Jack’s Garage 

banners, flags, license plates, photos, 

furniture, trophies, toys for tots 

and toys for Big Boys), he was quick 

to remind me that many, many 

people in the club have their own 

unique Porsche collections whether 

The proprietor with two of his 

“more” vintage Porsches 

Jack’s sons have created the 

Ultimate Gift for their beloved dad: 

a huge coffee table photobook 

simply titled “Jack’s Garage”. It is 

truly a labor of love, with beautiful 

shots of almost every aspect of the 

cars and memorabilia there. But 

the stories BEHIND the items on 

display -- now THAT could be its 

own feature in a future edition of 

Slipstream! 

Cool Stuff indeed . . . 

There are dealer showrooms that are smaller than this!

November Sunday Drive: Rolling Back in Time to Fort Richardson 

By John Harvey 

Photos by Brendan Eagan and Mark Lenz 

Back in January, I received an 

email from Glen Barnett, 

a Park Ranger out of the 

Jacksboro, TX area, inviting us out to 

a Texas State Park named Fort Richardson. 

I told him that our Spring 

Sunday Drive schedule was pretty full 

but we might have room in the Fall to 

take a drive out his way. I was completely unaware of 

its existence so I went to the internet to discover that 

Fort Richardson was a real part of Texas history and 

would make a great destination for one of our drives. I 

accepted Glen’s offer and so we began to plan. Several 

emails passed back and forth and the date was set. 

The Seberts and Linenschmidts join in the fun. 

Now the day had finally come to execute the 

drive, but Glen had meanwhile resigned from 

the Park Service. That’s where Robert Frye and 

The “Three Amigos” drive team at Fort Richardson 

Ray Monroe took up the slack and gathered the 

Posse (Friends of Fort Richardson) to put together 

the best program we’ve enjoyed in a while. 

After planning a really nice twisty route out to 

the Fort, we rounded up 58 participants in 35 

Porsches and headed west. Driving conditions were 

nearly perfect with lots of sunshine and plenty of fall 

color throughout the route. Our four drive leaders; 

Brendan, Botond, Cyndee, and I kept the “doggies” 

moving along the trail. I thought to myself… 

it doesn’t get any better than this! It in fact did. 

Ray greeted us at the entrance to Fort Richardson 

in full uniform, while Robert and his crew 

were preparing to serve us a home-cooked meal. 

It was fantastic with gravy-smothered ground 

steak, fresh from the butcher’s shop, and all the 

fixings to go with it. Homemade coconut and 

pumpkin spice cakes were served for dessert. 

Drive Groups 3 and 4 pause for a photo opp with Ray on the way to the Mess Hall 


Ray Monroe greets BJ and John at the park entrance. 

Ray, the Park Historian, took us all on a tour of the 

barracks and the hospital. He told us stories about 

some of the colorful characters of the day that made us 

appreciate our excellent, modern healthcare. Life was 

tough at the Fort, but today it was easy, thanks to all of 

the hard work by the Friends of Fort Richardson.

Insurance Tips: Daily Drivers and Weekend-Only Cars 

By Justin Husman, The Phoenix Insurance 

Editor’s Note: Justin Husman 

is one of the principals 

of The Phoenix Insurance, 

an independent insurance 

agency specializing in classic, 

custom, and exotic car 

insurance. Justin has been in the insurance business for 

a decade, and was awarded “Best of Dallas 2013” by D 

magazine. Justin is on his second 944, and can generally be 

found in and around car shows with his daughter in tow. 

I 

write a lot of insurance policies. “That’s great, braggart,” 

you may say, “but what does that mean to 

me?” Most people buy insurance eight to ten times 

in their lives; I buy that many policies every week, so 

my knowledge of insurance tends to be more up to 

date, and that makes it easier for me to help customers 

maximize their insurance dollar. Some people call me 

an insurance “salesman,” but I prefer to think of myself 

as an educator; I do much more teaching than selling. 

This article is the first of several articles I’ll be writing 

about how to properly cover your Porsche. Porsches 

present a bit of a challenge when it comes to insurance, 

because the same car can be a daily driver for 

one person and a dedicated track machine for someone 

else. In this month’s column, we will address how 

to cover a car that you do not run on the track, whether 

it’s a daily driver or a weekend-only sunny day car. 

If your Porsche is your primary mode of transportation, 

you probably have it on your regular auto policy, 

which is great when it’s a new car, and easy to value, 

but not so good when it gets to be a few years old and 

value becomes a little more subjective, according to 

the “market.” Most standard everyday driver policies 

are based on an “Actual Cash Value” form, which 

means that if you total your car, the insurer is going 

to pay the market value of your car. That’s fine if your 

car is more valuable today than when you bought it, 

but problematic if you are upside down, or if your car 

has not begun appreciating yet. This isn’t ideal, but 

if you are driving your car every day, you don’t have a 

whole lot of choice. There are some coverages that you 

should discuss with your agent to make sure you get 

maximum value in the event of a claim: make sure you 

get OEM parts coverage, Roadside Assistance, and glass 

coverage. You are most likely to use the latter two, and 

they can save you pretty good money in the event of a 

nuisance claim (broken windshield or breakdown). 

If you have a modern (i.e. less than 15 years old) 

Porsche, but only use it as a sunny day/weekend driver, 

you can cover your car with an “Agreed Value” policy 

as a modern collectible. This type of policy is the best 

kind for a special vehicle, as you decide up front what 

your car is worth in the event of a loss, and that is the 

amount you get, not subject to market or bluebook values. 

These types of policies are available on a limited 

or restricted mileage program, and often include greatly 

reduced deductibles and coverage for spare parts, as 

well as Roadside Assistance. Most policies even allow 

for you to drive your car to work a few days a month, 

if showing off for your peers is your thing. In order to 

insure your car with a policy like this, you must have a 

daily driver car on a regular insurance policy. Agreed 

Value specialty policies tend to be a bit cheaper overall, 

because the company knows it’s not insuring a car that 

is exposed to a ton of risk, driven by someone who is 

taking extra care and precaution with their special car. 

Next month, I’ll discuss how to cover your classic 

Porsche properly, and ensure that you are properly 

covered, and that you get the proper value out of every 

dollar you spend on insurance.

I Get Around: Rush With Someone to See “Rush” 

By Dick Badler 

Ok, I have 

a mission 

for you. 

Take a friend 

to see “Rush.” 

A friend who 

isn’t into performance 

cars. 

Who doesn’t follow racing. 

It’ll be, as we say, a “mitzvah,” 

a good deed, a plus mark in the 

karma ledger. It’s your obligation 

as a lover of Porsches and sports 

cars and racing in general. 

Here’s what happened with me. 

I had made up, weeks before 

opening weekend, to see the film 

with my friend Julie, Peter Revson’s 

sister. I thought, well, what could 

be more appropriate than that. 

But she canceled on me, the 

night before opening day. 

Now, having seen the film, I 

can say that it was probably a 

good idea for her to pass. She’s 

someone who thinks about her 

brother, who died testing at Kyalami 

39 years ago, every day. 

So I went with another friend, 

someone who is definitely 

not into cars, much less Formula 

1. She drives an old 

Toyota Matrix, not that there’s 

anything wrong with that. 

When the lights came up, her 

first question to me was, did that 

really happen? An allusion to 

Hollywood’s history of taking, 

uh, liberties with the facts? 

No matter. My answer was that, yes, 

from a framework standpoint, the 

story stands. For example, Lauda’s 

crash was spot-on. I told my friend 

that, in preparation for the screening, 

I had watched on YouTube a 

video of the actual crash, in grainy 

black and white, shot through the 

Courtesy High Gear, the Rocky Mountain Region Newsletter 

trees. And the big-screen color version 

was identical. In fact, it looked 

like they used the actual YouTube 

video in the film, as a TV replay. 

As for the behind-the-scenes 

incidents, the press conference, the 

one in the janitor’s closet, the one 

with the Italians, the conversation 

in the hangar, and so forth, who 

knows? Although I understand 

from an article in Autoweek that 

the screenwriter, who is British, 

is married to an Austrian. The 

couple lives in Vienna, and his 

wife knows Lauda. She put them 

in contact and, out of that, Niki 

provided extensive first-hand 

commentary and background. 

As the closing credits ran across 

the screen, my friend sat back 

in her seat, glassy-eyed. She 

said her hands and wrists were 

throbbing from gripping the 

chair rails. We went to dinner, 

and the questions continued. 

Do these cars race at Long Beach? 

I laughed, because she’s from LA! 

I said they did during the first 

few years of the Long Beach race. 

But the series moved on, long 

ago. Now Indycars run there, the 

same cars that run at the Indy 500. 

They look like Formula 1 cars, 

at least to the untrained eye. But 

they’re not. They’re all actually 

built by the same manufacturers, 

and bought by each team. 

Then I went on to explain what a 

“spec” series is, and how Formula 

1 is emphatically not a spec series; 

how each team in Formula 1 builds 

its own cars, and some build their 

own engines too, and how these 

cars are, far and away, the most 

expensive and most technologically 

advanced in the world, and how, 

with downforce, they’re pressed to 

the track so hard they could run on 

the ceiling, and how, yes, they’re 

faster than anything else, by far, and 

how, in order to develop the skills 

to master them, every driver today 

starts as a pre-teen in go-karts. 

Was Lauda the best? Of his era, 

maybe. Maybe Gilles Villeneuve. 

Who really knows? But he certainly 

was the hardest worker of all the 

drivers of his era. I’d say he had 

superhuman grit, an off-the-chart 

capacity to do what it took -- if 

not native talent -- and the film 

caught that remarkably well. 

But I wouldn’t quite put 

him with the pantheon, with 

Stewart, Clark, Senna, Fangio, 

Schumacher, even Vettel. 

I explained how, when Ayrton 

Senna died in 1994, all of Brazil 

shut down for three days of mourning. 

The whole country. And I 

mentioned the movie “Senna,” 

which is a very different film 

from “Rush;” it’s a documentary 

that tries to get into the head of 

the legend, and largely succeeds. 

I said she should see it. 

I had no idea, she said. Which 

is just the point. Because, folks, 

this is probably the first film 

ostensibly about racing that fully 

pulls you in, and not just us gearheads 

-- we’d see it for the racing 

footage alone, which is why we 

still watch “Le Mans” -- but the 

naysayers, the civilians, those who 

would otherwise complain to you 

about watching cars go round 

and round, lap after lap . . . who 

would ask you, why? What’s the 

big deal? What’s the intrigue? 

They never actually go anywhere! 

This film comes closer than 

anything ever put on the big 

screen to provide an answer. 

It makes “Grand Prix” look 

like a cartoon with pioneering 

cinematographic techniques. 


Hemingway allegedly said there are just three 

true sports - bullfighting, mountain climbing, 

and motor racing. The rest are merely games. 

“Rush” proves the point, at least for one of the three. 

Which is why you should go, and why you should take 

someone who is not into cars and racing. You have an 

obligation.

Cliff’s Ramblings: Learning to Drive 

By Cliff Blackshear 

Do you 

ever think 

about your 

first experiences 

with driving, and 

what your life was 

like at the time 

while you were 

learning? I was thinking about that 

while commuting home tonight. 

For me it came in steps. One evening 

in the early 1960s, my brother 

(who was 9 years older than I) said, 

“How ‘bout I start teaching you how 

to drive?” 

First a little background information 

about that time in my life. My 

brother, barely 20-something years 

old, was a very motivated individual. 

He had borrowed some money, 

bought a small herd of Black 

Angus cows, leased some land, and 

bought a very old and tired black 

1950 Ford F1 pickup. Flathead 

V8, 3-speed manual gearbox, a 

heater that did not work, and not 

one body part without a dent in 

it. Dad named it “Dimples” . . . . 

Bro also owned a ‘55 Chevy with a 

hotrod V8, dual glass-packs, and the 

obligatory baby moon hubcaps. 

I rarely got to ride in the ‘55, but 

spent a huge amount of time in the 

F1. Loading and unloading hay, 

riding across the fields, checking 

on the cows, pulling stumps with it, 

constant fence/gate repairs, etc. 

Ranching is nonstop hard work, 

let me tell you. I loved it as a preteen. 

Every day was an adventure 

during the summer. I usually 

rode in the bed of the truck with 

our faithful dog, Cuddles. We 

would leave the tailgate down 

and Cuddles would lay within 6 

inches of the end of the tailgate 

at 60 mph on our 30 mile drive to 

“The Lease,” as it was called. I was 

constantly fearing she was gonna 

end up doing endos (nose over tail 

over and over) down the highway 

behind us. She always had her paws 

planted in the right place to counteract 

sudden bumps or corners. 

My brother was a very aggressive 

driver even with us in the truck 

bed. I so cherish those memories. 

Anyway we were in the front yard 

and he asked me if I wanted him 

to teach me how to drive. I immediately 

said yes and was looking at 

his ‘55 and the trusty ‘64 Corvair 

that was our family car. He headed 

towards the F1 and said “Come on.” 

He got in on the passenger side 

and I made my way to the driver’s 

door with great anticipation. 

Next he slid over on the bench 

seat and negotiated his legs to the 

left of the shifter coming out of 

the floor. I swear that shifter had 

to be nearly 3 feet long -- had the 

original wood shift knob. The 

throw from gear to gear must 

have been about a foot or more. 

He then placed his feet from the 

center of the truck on the pedals. 

Showed me how to start it, release 

the brake, and turn on the lights 

(it was night time). “You steer” was 

my job after that. I could barely see 

over the wheel. I jumped on that 

task like a duck on a junebug. We 

drove about a mile and stopped 

right back in front of home. I was 

hooked. I constantly paid great 

attention to driver control in any 

car I was in after that evening. 

My dad was a car fanatic and 

could fix anything. He loved road 

trips and loved car repair projects. 

I remember him and my brother 

disassembling the engine in the 

‘55 for a complete overhaul. Dad 

spent nearly an hour cleaning a 

place in the garage for the vital 

internals. They placed the block, 

rods, pistons, camshaft, etc., there. 

I kept looking at everything while 

my brother either barked at me to 

get out of the way or argued with 

Pop over repair sequences. Pop 

always won those battles. When 

the time came to light it off, it 

started and ran like a scalded cat. 


As I indicated, Pop loved all things automotive, 

and I remember him talking about buying a Volkswagen 

Beetle in the late ‘50s. My brother threw a 

vein-popping fit every time he brought the subject 

up; a 36-hp car in the family was unfathomable 

to him. Dad gave in, and in 1961, bought a Chevy 

Impala with the biggest V8 offered at the time. 

Three years later he bought the Corvair. 110-hp 

4-speed unit. This is the car I made my bones in. I 

had not been behind the wheel since that day in the 

F1, and asked my dad if I could move the Corvair 

back in the driveway when he was about to do so. He 

launched into a dissertation about the clutch operation, 

etc. Somehow I assured him I had paid ample 

attention to everyone’s skills with the clutch, etc. I 

got in and moved it without incident, a good three or 

four feet. I was 12 years old. From that point on he let 

me drive everywhere we went together after dark. It 

was heaven for me. I loved that rear-engine Corvair. 

By the time I was old enough to get my license, we 

had a 1966 Chevy Chevelle -- 283 CID engine with a 

2-speed Powerglide transmission. I subjected that car 

to every extreme possible and continuously exceeded 

the limits it was capable of. It never broke down. 

At that time, my best friend’s dad owned a 1957 

356A that his dad bought new. (I mentioned all that 

we did in that car in one of my first articles here so I 

will not go over that again.) In that car I pretty much 

learned everything I know about “on limit” dynamics. 

I will say this again, as I did in that earlier article: I 

have never seen a car that could be driven on-limit 

day after day, week after week, month after month, 

year-in and year-out; that was as robust as it was. The 

only thing it needed after a serious day of practicing 

heel and toe, working corners in both directions, 

arguing over best apex, was another tank of fuel. 

Today it is my opinion that only the GT3 rivals that 

car in its ability to be driven on-limit day after day 

and need nothing but more BTUs in the chambers. 

Cheers all!

November Maverick Social: Uncle Julio’s 

By Rick Schwausch 

I 

would like 

to take the 

opportunity in 

writing this article 

to recognize 

many of the 

people that make 

these Maverick 

Monthly Socials possible, and to 

make an important point. If you 

are reading this article, then you 

care about our club and what it 

represents. This club is a vehicle 

(yes, pun intended) to share our 

common passion about our cars. 

It does take time and some effort 

to coordinate all of our activities. 

I would like to recognize Mike 

Farrar for coordinating the Happy 

Hour/Maverick Social schedule 

this year. He is stepping down 

from this role for 2014 and I would 

like to say thank you to Paul and 

Veronica Ramos for agreeing to 

take on this responsibility for 

next year. This year, we rotated 

the responsibility for conducting 

the Happy Hours between Mike 

Farrar, Frank Briggs, and me and 

my wife Katie (photographer 

extraordinaire). I am sure Paul 

and Veronica would welcome other 

couples or individuals’ help hosting 

the Happy Hours, or Maverick 

Socials as we are now calling them. 

One of the greatest pleasures of 

hosting these get-togethers is to 

hear the stories from our members, 

both new and old. For example, I 

BJ Harvey, new Maverick 

Social co-chair Paul Ramos, John 

Hamilton, and Randy Csanadi 


had the opportunity to visit with 

Torben Nielsen, who was joining us 

for the first time. He recently purchased 

a 2004 Anniversary Edition 

911. He is originally from Denmark, 

and admitted that as a young 

boy growing up in a small town, he 

had a neighbor that had an early 

‘70s 911 and he always admired the 

car. He made himself a promise 

that one day he would have the 

chance to own a Porsche. He also 

admitted that he had a hard time 

deciding between an Italian and 

a German performance car. He 

decided that the Italian cars are too 

expensive to maintain and appreciated 

that Porsches have a reputation 

for being able to be driven 

on the street and on the track. 

Region President John Hamilton 

(far left) and Past President 

Mike Brodigan (far right) talk 

with some new members 

I also had the opportunity to 

meet other new members David 

Ward, Mike Holloway, and Mitch 

Kramer and his wife Candice. In 

visiting with Mitch, he recently 

joined the club as an instructor 

for the DE program. He has been 

driving NASA and other DE events, 

and recently graduated from the 

new instructor program. His wife 

Candice is now the proud owner 

of a Cayenne, and Mitch is looking 

to upgrade his track car to a Spec 

Boxster. If you have not had the 

opportunity to drive your Porsche 

on the track, I highly recommend 

it. Not only will it give you a true 

Photos by Katie Schwausch 

appreciation for what your car is 

capable of, it will also make you 

a better driver on the street. 

Norm McCollough (left) 

with Ben and Sue Connell 

Speaking of new vehicles, I also 

heard several members talking 

about their new vehicles. Stephanie 

Ho, one of our Welcoming Committee 

members, recently added a 

911 Turbo S to her Cayman. She 

admitted that she is still getting 

used to the performance of the 

Turbo S. That is definitely at the 

high end of Porsche performance 

spectrum; it will take some time for 

her to learn the driving dynamics 

of the Turbo S versus the Cayman. 

Randy Csanadi also upgraded his 

Boxster to a new 991 Carerra S 

Cabriolet. He was smiling from 

ear to ear as he discussed the 

performance of his new vehicle. 

Many of the new members in 

attendance recently purchased a 

Porsche, but I was not able to document 

all of the new cars. If you are 

in the market for a used Porsche 

or for used parts for your car, I 

recommend you check out Rennline.com. 

I know I have personally 

sold many parts and have even had 

success selling one of my previous 

vehicles through this website. 

I am always amazed to hear 

how long some of the members 

have been active in the club. I 

was visiting with Jerry and Myra 

Sutton, who have been attending 

the Porsche Parade annually 

since 1983. I believe they

Rick Schwausch, outgoing Maverick Social 

Chair Mike Farrar, and Mike’s son Jeff 

have only missed one Parade during that time. 

They usually drive to the Parade, and Jerry has 

been active as a judge in the Concours d’Elegance 

each year. They were already discussing their 

plans for next year, trying to decide whether they 

should drive their car or tow it to the Parade. 

I also heard John Hamilton, our Maverick Region 

Club President, discussing the inventory of cars available 

at Autobahn Porsche in Fort Worth. Not only is he 

active as our President, he has made a second career as 

a Porsche salesman, which sounds pretty good to me. 

Please plan to join us for our first Maverick Monthly 

Social of 2014 on Thursday, January 16, at the Wildwood 

Grill in Southlake. Hope to see you there!

Milestone: The Porsche Museum Welcomes its Two Millionth Visitor 

from Porsche AG 

During the anniversary year 

of the Porsche 911, the 

museum of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. 

Porsche AG in Stuttgart, Germany, 

has welcomed its two millionth 

visitor through its doors. “We are 

delighted to have reached this new 

visitor record before Christmas,” 

reports Achim Stejskal, Director 

Porsche Museum. During the 

second half of this year, the “50 

years of the 911” special exhibition 

in particular attracted more 

than 200,000 visitors from all over 

the world to Zuffenhausen. The 

upward trend in visitor numbers 

over the past four years is an indication 

of the museum’s success: In 

its opening year in 2009 alone, 

over 500,000 people visited the 

Porsche Museum. By June 2011, 

the Museum at Porscheplatz had 

welcomed one million guests 

through its doors. “More than 35% 

of our visitors come from outside 

Germany,” explains Achim Stejskal. 

Using the latest museum didactics 

at its 5600-cubic-metre exhibition 

space, one of the main functions of 

the Porsche Museum is to convey 

the wealth of historical and contemporary 

information available about 

Porsche as a company. However, 

the sportscar manufacturer also 

celebrates anniversaries and showcases 

exhibits several times a year 

to young and old alike in the form 

of special exhibitions – a current 

example is the “60 years of the 

super sportscar” exhibition. What’s 

more, the Porsche Museum is 

sending out more and more classic 

models from its stock to historical 

events around the world, to act as 

rolling brand ambassadors. This 

year alone, over 250 events in 11 

separate countries, such as China, 

Russia, Japan, Australia and the 

USA, have involved exhibition 

vehicles from the museum. 

Prior to the Porsche Museum 

celebrating its fifth anniversary on 

January 31, 2014, extended opening 

hours will be kept during the 

Christmas period. Visitors can enjoy 

the exhibition space from 9:00am 

to 6:00pm on December 26. Entry 

to the museum costs 8 Euros for 

adults and 4 Euros for concessions. 

Children aged 14 and younger can 

visit the museum free of charge if 

accompanied by an adult. For more 

information, please visit 

www.porsche.com/museum.

any property in the DFW area,

©2013 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times. Porsche recommends four winter tires when driving in cold, snowy, or slippery conditions. 

Simultaneously breaks new ground, 

while clinging to the current one. 

Take the performance that Porsche is known for. Then add to that the strength of a 400 horsepower engine, the design and 

greater stability of a wider body, the extraordinary traction and agility of all-wheel drive, and an unmistakable illuminated rear light 

strip. The sum of which is a sports car that holds your attention as tightly as it holds to the road. Porsche. There is no substitute. 

Experience the control of all-wheel drive.
