©2015 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times. Optional equipment shown is extra. 

The key turns, the heart starts. 

There is no feeling quite like being behind the wheel of the new 911. Totally reengineered at its core with enhancements to 

the classic design on the outside, it was built to create a bond between car and driver like never before. Its new optional 

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) allows for faster shifting speeds, and the new Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) system adds 

horsepower while using less fuel. This is without question a feeling unlike any other. To feel the absolute melding of driver 

and machine for yourself, visit your local authorized Porsche dealer today. Porsche. There is no substitute. 

The new 911. Experience the reengineered legend.

Shifting Gears: Founders’ Day and Another Year is a Wrap 

By Jim Falgout, Region President 

As I sit on the deck of our beach 

house listening to the surf and 

feeling the breeze, life is good. 

You could have had the opportunity 

to enjoy this also if you had gone to 

Founders’ Day. One of our members 

had the winning bid on a weekend 

at our beach house. There were several 

other very nice items offered in the silent auction 

during the event. The proceeds benefit the Huffaker- 

Hughes Hope House, one of our charities. Steve Krysil, 

of Porsche Cars North America, gave us some interesting 

insight into Porsche’s victory at Le Mans. There was 

also a display of the photo contest entries which were 

very well done, and we were able to vote for the People’s 

Choice. There was also excellent food and great camaraderie. 

Next year, put the Founders’ Day event on your 

calendar as a must-do. 

Of course, this is the time of year when there are several 

events that require our time and attention: holidays 

and end of year activities at work. I want to briefly recap 

the successes of your club. As of the end of October, we 

had over 2,500 members! Your club is in a very strong 

financial position. We have overcome the loss of a significant 

member who contributed greatly to our track 

events. We have adopted an additional charity, the Boot 

Campaign, which helps veterans. Our Drivers’ Education 

Program has been successful. We had two successful 

Club Races, one at COTA and one at MotorSport Ranch. 

Our monthly socials have been very well attended. The 

Saturday/Sunday drives have drawn many attendees as 

have our monthly socials. Our Rally program has been 

successfully revived. 

All of these successes have been made possible because 

of the time and talents that members have contributed 

in each area. Now to make it easier to volunteer, 

we have a chairperson for volunteers. So if 

someone wants to volunteer and does not know 

where they can help, the volunteer chairperson 

can guide them. Jim Gallegos is that chairperson. 

Next month I will be talking about exciting 

programs we are planning for 2016. 

Your club officers for this coming year were 

elected at Founders’ Day as follows: 

President: Jim Falgout (incumbent) 

Vice President: David Robertson 

Treasurer: Richard Solomon (incumbent) 

Secretary: Wendy Shoffit (incumbent) 

SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor

Mavs of the Month 

Here it comes . . . YOUR CLUB 

NEEDS YOU! Come join the fun! You 

will be glad you did. 

As I mentioned earlier, our Rally Program has been 

revived. The program takes time and passion to have a 

successful rally. Thanks to two of our members who took 

on this challenge and made it very successful. Don Sebert 

and George Luxbacher have done a great job and 

deserve sharing Mav of the Month honors.

Gimme a Minute: November Board Meeting 

By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary November 4, 2015 

The meeting 

began 

at 6:59 pm. 

President Jim Falgout 

announced 

our Region would 

again participate 

in the Club Race 

at COTA in Austin in collaboration 

with Lone Star and Hill Country Regions 

next year. He also presented 

the Treasurer’s report. The club is 

in good financial standing. We have 

nearly $159K available with some 

Slipstream ad revenue and sponsorship 

money due. 

Jim also presented the Membership 

report. We had another recordbreaking 

month, and currently have 

1616 primary and 2524 total members, 

up 27 for both primary and 

total members. 

Safety Chair Joe McGlohen needs 

all chairs to submit paperwork and 

work with him. He explained the 

necessity of following the Region 

Procedures Manual closely, and is 

working to set up a meeting early in 

2016 to discuss issues that need fixing. 

He later stated he would like all 

paperwork submitted electronically, 

if possible, and wants computer 

equipment to archive them. David 

Robertson made a motion to authorize 

up to $300 to spend on two 1 TB 

hard drives. Motion was seconded 

by Don Sebert. Motion passed. 

Bill Orr mentioned he helped create 

the Rennsport Reunion slideshow 

for display at the Founders’ 

Day banquet. 

From the refrigerator gallery 


Social Chair Tracy Robertson is 

ready for Founders’ Day. Phyllis 

Gallegos will be helping out. She 

needs more people to sign up. She 

has been working hard on the silent 

auction with help from others. The 

All Member Party is set for Saturday, 

January 23 at Hackberry Creek 

Country Club in Irving. We will also 

continue having board meetings at 

Hackberry next year. 

Editor Jim Hirsch is again increasing 

the number of Slipstreams being 

printed to accommodate our growth 

(up to 1800). He’ll be contributing 

articles for “From the Regions” for 

Panorama. He is working on calendars 

and directories for sale with a 

Nov 23 deadline. Tracy Robertson 

made a motion to pre-order 75 directories 

for sale. Linda Bambina 

seconded. Motion passed. Chris Tabor 

made a motion to pre-order 50 

calendars for sale. Seconded by Ed 

Mullenix. Motion passed. 

Tech Session Chair Ed Mullenix 

is planning an event on Saturday, 

January 16 for a Boxster front suspension 

session. He might have 

another session in March about DE 

tech inspections. More details to follow 

on both events. 

Rally Chair Don Sebert said that 

the Rally to the Spirits was a big hit, 

with 27 cars participating. Everyone 

had a great time and had lots 

of costumes to judge. Had 1st, 2nd, 

and 3rd for the rally finishes and 

costume contest. He is open to suggestions 

for future events. 

Phyllis and Jim Gallegos are looking 

forward to volunteering and 

have suggested creating a volunteer 

core database for people who can 

help out in small ways. 

PR chair Linda Bambina is stepping 

back to let Brenda Dranow 

step forward in her place. She is finishing 

up by wrangling articles and 

providing lights for Founders’ Day. 

She encourages volunteering, even 

for the smallest tasks that help for 

larger events. 

Brenda Dranow is learning from 

Linda and proofed her first Slipstream 

while monitoring the process. 

Husband Greg also helped the 

club out by leading a group during 

the last Sunday drive. 

Monthly Social Chair Stephanie Ho 

is working on the event at the Hilton 

Garden Inn for a sort of Thanksgiving 

celebration. It’s the last social 

event of the year. 

DE Chair Chris Tabor is working on 

the last DE of the year in conjunction 

with the Club Race. He has set 

dates for next year’s DEs, with the 

first one being Feb. 27-28. He’ll be 

writing an article for Slipstream and 

wants to have an Intro to the Track 

day, perhaps during lunchtime at 

one regular event. He suggested we 

have another Sunday drive event 

end there. 

DE/CR Registrar Wendy Shoffit reported 

that we have over 50 signed 

up for the Club Race and nearly that 

many for the DE. It should be a great 

weekend. The monthly lunches continue 

to be popular. 

Jim Falgout finished by announcing 

that November’s Mav of the 

Month is Don Sebert for his excellent 

rally program. Don shared his 

award with our other rally meister, 

George Luxbacher. Meeting was adjourned 

at 8:16 PM. 

Other members in attendance were 

David Robertson, Cindy Bliss, and 

Mike Brodigan.

“. . . it’s the people”: Mr. Goodwrench, Ed Mayo 

By Linda Bambina, Region PR Chair 

I 

remember Ed 

being called 

“Mr. Goodwrench” 

when all 

those TV commercials 

came out 

in the mid-80s. 

He had already 

established his reputation as a 356 

and early 911 guru for Maverick 

Region, at all the War Bonnet Tech 

Sessions up in Oklahoma, and even 

with National events as a member 

of PCA’s Technical Committee 

featured in Panorama. I remember 

being astounded when he literally 

“laid his hands” on an ailing engine 

and quickly diagnosed the problem 

from the sound and feel of the engine. 

He is the only person I have 

ever known who carries carefully 

pre-determined tools and Porsche 

PARTS in his cars at all times for 

helping someone who breaks down 

on a tour, a rally, driving event, or 

even at the Porsche Parade! The 

“Good” in Goodwrench has a much 

wider meaning when you are talking 

about this amazingly kind and 

helpful man. He is also a fantastic 

TEACHER and is always willing to 

take the time to explain the problem 

or the engineering behind your 

particular Porsche situation. 

Interestingly enough, Ed WAS a 

High School Industrial Arts teacher 

for seven years in Ohio. He loved hot 

rodding and all that entails: racing, 


Ed winning the 

Selcer Award in 1989 

improving engines, fixing engines, 

and helping others do the same. At 

the time, Ed had a very HOT 1937 

Ford, and was enjoying some “trash 

talk” with a friend who owned a ’59 

356A Coupe. Ed recalls he was more 

than PO’ed when that “little piece 

of you-know-what” managed to beat 

him on the wonderful back roads 

of Southern Ohio -- actually, he was 

impressed! Fast forward a few years 

to 1967 and the story takes a turn toward 

Ed joining his first PCA group, 

where he met and learned from 

Chuck Stoddard! Eventually he and 

Al Zim (his college roommate and 

frat brother) came to Texas, and 

many of you know the story of that 

early partnership. 

Speaking of stories, Ed has so many 

interesting stories that he needs to 

write a book! 

Here’s a very short list of stories 

that Ed and I decided to call 

“Life by the Numbers”: 

• 5 minute fan belt story in “Vic” 

on the Extraterrestrial Hwy at 

125mph 

• 7 tickets in 1 ½ years story 

• 19: Granddaughter Marissa’s age 

when Grampa discovered her 

No Fear/Lead Foot DNA! 

• 356-1970s His first race car at 

Road Atlanta, TWS and other 

tracks 

• 911-2015 His semi-retirement 

project for CVAR-Vintage Racing 

Yes, you read that correctly. Ed has 

sold Mayo Performance and is OF- 

FICALLY in Semi-Retirement. That 

means he only works at the shop 

three days a week! The rest of the 

time he’ll be preparing a 1970 911S 

he affectionately calls Methuselah 

for CVAR. 

He may also take some time to explore 

all kinds of places he hasn’t 

Photos courtesy of the Author 

had time to visit before. I overheard 

him talking about seeing the other 

side of Grand Canyon and also going 

on a Canadian Train Vacation from 

Toronto to Vancouver! I fully expect 

him to continue, if not increase, his 

involvement in all the Porsche National 

and Parade groups that he is 

so well-respected for: 

Ed serving as a Concours judge 

at the 2009 Parade in Colorado 

Concours d’Elegance Head Judge, 

Panorama’s Technical Committee 

go-to person for 1964-1973 911s 

and all 914s; Tech Quiz Consultant 

as well as the writer of Parade Tech 

Quizzes in 2004 (Fort Worth) & 

2009 (Keystone, CO). Ed was also 

one of the Founding Fathers of a 

group called the “Early 911S Registry.” 

He currently holds the title 

of Texas Region Advisor. His Gulf 

blue and orange 1967 911S was featured 

on the Summer Edition cover 

of ESSES magazine. There was a 

matching story Ed wrote about their 

annual Hill Country Rally of almost 

100 911S models. 

Ed winning yet another 

award at the 2009 Parade

Here’s a list of Ed’s cars, special names and all: 

1967 911S: “VIC” (for Vic Elford) 

1970 911S: “METHUSELAH” 

1971 911T: “SLIME” 

1972 911S: “ELVIRA” 

1972 911S: “ESTHER” 

1976 914: “KILLER” 

Being involved with so 

many of the oldie-butgoodie 

models, Ed can 

barely walk ten feet at any 

car-related event without 

being stopped by a fan or 

someone seeking advice 

from this walking-car-manual 

for early 911 and 914 

models. He literally takes it 

all in stride as he patiently 

visits with person after person, 

hour after hour 

throughout the length of 

the event. Remember, he 

really is Mr. GOODwrench.

Five Speed Chatter: Hit and Run, Part 2 

By Ash Seidl-Staley 

Where has 

the time 

gone? 

Can anyone believe 

that it is December 

already? 

The air is cooler, 

the ominous threat 

of winter storms loom on the horizon, 

and Santa is busy filling various 

Pelicanparts.com orders for all the 

Porsches across the world. This time 

of year has always been very special 

for my family. This year happens 

to be immensely special as my wife 

and I will be celebrating our son’s 

first Christmas! I hope all Mavericks 

will have a great Holiday Season 

and get exactly what they and their 

cars want for Christmas. As for me, 

I would like nothing more than to 

find the Grinch that hit my car backing 

out of a parking spot a couple 

months ago—though I will settle for 

a signed and notarized letter from 

Santa stating that he filled the culprit’s 

stocking with enough coal to 

fill a Peruvian mine! 

All joking aside, getting to the 

point where I could shed my anger 

and think optimistically took quite 

a long time. I spent many 

nights thinking about my 

914’s body panels, money, 

time, and how I was going to 

fix my problems. I still jump 

up to look out the window 

whenever I hear a strange 

clunk outside, but my situation 

has definitely gotten 

better. Now, I would love to 

say that I took the 914 into a 

body shop, payed “x” amount 

of money, and came out with 

an immaculate concoursworthy 

car. Though ideal, 

this is not what I decided to 

do. 

First of all, upon further inspection, 

the dent wasn’t all that bad. Although 

the metal had been pushed 

far into the wheel well, the natural 

lips and seams of the body panels 

were not affected. This meant that 

with the right tools and a little ingenuity, 

I could easily pop the metal 

back out myself. I obtained a set of 

dent-pulling suction cups (the ones 

that you might have seen on late 

night infomercials) from a coworker 

and started pulling the metal back 

out one Saturday after I got out of 

work. Amazingly, the largest dent, 

located just behind the driver’s side 

door, popped out almost instantly. 

Elated with joy I moved on further 

back to the quarter panel. With 

one hand pulling the suction cup 

attached to the car and my other 

hand gently tapping the back of the 

sheet metal with a rubber mallet, I 

watched in amazement as little by little 

the quarter panel took its former 

shape. After about 30 minutes of 

shaping metal and about two hours 

of inspecting at various angles, I felt 

satisfied with my work. 

The main reason I took this route, 

as opposed to sending the car to a

tools get the job done! 

body shop, is because most of the 

car needs body work done to it. 

The 41-year-old paint is peeling, 

cracking, and losing its clear coat in 

various areas. The two dents from 

the Grinch only added a few chips 

and a hair line fracture in the paint, 

so if I wanted to take the car in for 

body work I would want the ENTIRE 

car overhauled, not just one panel. 

The amount of money and time to 

achieve this ideal and pristine car 

is just out of my realm of possibilities—at 

least for now. 

The most important thing for me 

regarding my Porsches is to keep 

them running. I am more concerned 

about mechanical 

maintenance and upgrades 

than I am aesthetics. Eventually 

(when I make my millions 

in the stock market!) 

all my cars will get to flaunt 

the bodies they deserve. But 

for now I am content with 

brakes that stop and engines 

that roar. 

Again, I want to wish everyone 

a pleasant and safe Holiday 

Season. See you next 

year, and as always Wrench 

on Mavs! 


Autocross Update: Final Results For Mav Members

Saturday Drive: “Lunch on the Square” - The Trek to Granbury 

By Tom Martin 

The final Saturday/Sunday 

Drive 

of the 2015 season 

was held on Saturday, 

October 17. 

Over 50 Porsches 

assembled in the 

parking lot of the 

Walmart Supercenter in Lake Worth 

bright and early that morning, 

poised for a lively jaunt through the 

backroads of the southwest corner 

of the Metroplex. 

Neill Flood put together a 100- 

mile route that stretched from 

Lake Worth, through Weatherford, 

across the Brazos River into Lipan, 

through Bluff Dale and Paluxy, before 

ambling into the Town Square 

in Granbury. 

We couldn’t have ordered better 

weather for the drive. At the 9:30 

Mav members gathering for the 

start of our Saturday Drive 


start, the ambient air temperature 

was slightly brisk, but as the day 

and the drive progressed, the temperature 

rose into the mid-70s, with 

bright sunshine throughout. Perfect 

top-down weather! 

The first leg of any drive is typically 

dedicated to escaping the congestion 

of the suburban sprawl. This 

drive was no exception. It wasn’t until 

we rolled into the sleepy town of 

Lipan that the roads really opened 

up and our Porsches could properly 

breathe, and the drivers could fully 

enjoy the twisties. Lipan was also the 

site of our rest stop. One can only 

imagine what the people manning 

the local gas station/convenience 

store thought when 50 Porsches 

and 100 people descended upon 

their establishment; most of them 

patiently waiting to use the one restroom 

at the station!

It was almost 1:00 when the first drive group entered 

downtown Granbury, which is always packed with people 

visiting the Square on the weekends. Parking demonstrated 

the theory of the “survival of the fittest.” Four 

dining choices surrounding the Square were offered 

to the Mavericks: Babe’s Chicken, Ketzler’s Schnitzel 

Haus and Biergarten, Farina’s Wine Bar & Café, and 

the Eighteen Ninety Grille and Lounge. I had already 

eaten at Ketzler’s at the pre-drive (great schnitzel), so 

this time we elected to dine at Farina’s with a group of 

fellow Maverick friends (great lasagna). 

Shout outs go to the drive leaders Neill Flood, John 

Harvey, Jon Glover, and Greg Dranow, along with 

sweeps Voy Mitchell and Mary Anderson. Thanks guys! 

We are working on finalizing the schedule for next year, 

with potential drives to the Mitas Hill Winery in McKinney, 

the Revolver Brewery in Granbury, to MotorSport 

Ranch for parade laps on 

their most excellent road 

course, an East Texas tour, 

and possibly a revisit to 

Rancho Sereno, and the 

Bluebonnet Tour. Stay 

tuned to mavpca.org and

Porsches and Costumes: The “Driving to the Spirits” Rally 

By Meg Moore 

It was a couple of weeks before Halloween. 

My husband had been invited 

out of town to play roadie for 

a buddy’s band. I was left to my own 

devices. Then it was there, in my email 

inbox: “Driving to the Spirits Rally, October, 

31 - Halloween.” The Maverick 

Region of PCA would ensure that my 

Halloween would be special! The details had us meeting 

at the Frisco Heritage Museum to wind, more like 

find, our way to the Witherspoon Distillery in Lewisville. 

To make things more interesting, in addition to rally 

awards being given, participants were encouraged to 

dress up with an award for best costume. 

It took me longer to find my phone than to actually 

send the text to ask my best girlfriend, Tammy, if she 

was up for a run, in costume no less. She called me 

right back saying, “yes, I’d love to,” but what was this 

costume requirement? I replied with, “what costume do 

you already have?” and 

I’d come up with something 

to complement. 

She would be the Great 

Pumpkin, a.k.a. navigator, 

to my Linus Van 

Pelt, of Charles Schultz 

“Peanuts” greatness. She 

had been my navigator 

for the Texas Hill Country 

Boxstoberfest and 

reminded me that this was NOT a timed event. She had 

experienced that side of things, and she didn’t have an 

appreciation for it. 

As what seems to often be a prelude to these gimmick 

rallies, a good soaking rain included localized flooding 

in the hours right before our scheduled start. I feared 

the attendance would be down due to the rain, but as 

we arrived in the parking lot, we joined 30+ Porsches 

of every model and variety with costumed characters. 

The drivers’ meeting began in the light rain and we 

were given instructions with a glossary of terms. Then 

the questions were handed out. Tammy and I pored 

through those pages like they were clues to the location 

of the Holy Grail. Questions as simple as the past and 

present population of a tiny town to more clever, and 

vague, observations such as what several points along 

our drive had in common. 

The brief opportunity to review and commit all the 

questions to memory was over and it was time to start 


Linus and the 

Great Pumpkin

our engines. Shortly -- very shortly -- after leaving the 

parking lot, we encountered the first answer to our list 

of questions. This, of course, caused me to slow my car 

to a crawl along the main street of Frisco, a very unrealistic 

motion for my car or for me. So after a few blocks 

I rejoined the recommended speed limit range and we 

were off to find more answers to the clues. 

Our route instructions were simple to follow. The first 

half had the distances between route changes provided. 

The route took us through some beautiful areas of Collin 

and Denton counties, McKinney, Celina, Weston, 

Prosper, Little Elm, The Colony, and Lewisville. 

Around the middle of things, there was a small unforeseen 

route change. As we entered the small hamlet of 

Celina, TX, the town square was cut off for a festival. 

Tammy had to adjust her navigation antenna and find 

her bearings, and then we headed onward. As we approached 

the designated course rest stop, we saw one 

of our group participants turning out of the parking 

lot. It was my inclination to pass it up because it wasn’t 

necessary for us to stop. However, Tammy stayed on top 

of things, encouraged me to stay the course and drive 

into the parking lot. As we discovered, skipping this step 

would have taken us in a wrong direction. My trusty 

navigator kept us on track. 

Along the way, we were exhilarated as we found answers 

to questions and felt confident with our progress. That 

was until we reached the end of the route, turned in our 

answer sheet, ordered a wonderful Witherspoon beverage, 

and began to 

socialize with other 

participants. We 

quickly learned we 

had some earnest 

competition, and 

we chuckled about 

how serious we took 

ourselves. Group 

photos were taken, Mav members came out 

voting for costumes in full costume mode 

completed, question 

sheets tallied, and awards given. As we walked out 

into the late afternoon, we realized the sun was finally 

shining and were a little sad that it was over. 

We will do this ride again and if we win, place, or get 

lost, it’ll all be for the thrill of the ride . . . the Porsche 

ride, that is.

Rennscape: 5600 miles in a Cayman GT4 

By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary and Track Event Registrar 


Rennscape. 

Never 

heard of 

the term? That’s 

because James and 

I made it up. Early 

this year when we 

realized Rennsport 

Reunion V and PCA’s Escape were 

on back-to-back weekends, we had 

the dream of doing BOTH events . 

. . thus “Rennscape” was created. In 

February we dreamed even bigger 

-- we put a deposit down for a Cayman 

GT4. What if? What if we got 

it in time to take it to Rennscape? 

Wouldn’t that be something? 

Months went by and no GT4. After 

a great deal of effort on the part of 

our dealership and ourselves, three 

days before we left on our journey, 

that part of the dream became a reality! 

Barely enough time to figure 

out how to pack two weeks’ worth of 

luggage into the two trunks of a Cayman. 

It was no problem, though, as 

there was even enough space for six 

pairs of my shoes, a foam roller, two 

laptop cases, and James’ car cleaning 

supplies. I know, right? James 

actually CLEANS cars on occasion. 

Tuesday morning came and we 

were off! We left a day earlier than 

we needed to 

because we 

wanted to go 

through Winslow 

Arizona, 

Death Valley, 

and Yosemite 

National Park. 

Breathtaking! Oh, 

Along the way 

we saw some and the scenery too 

phenomenal 

scenery and took as many pictures 

as you would of a new infant. I guess 

this WAS somewhat of a replacement 

for our now away-at-college 

daughter, Jasmine. 

James, the GT4, and Winslow, AZ 

We arrived in Monterey on Thursday 

and first on the agenda was a car 

wash. The bugs loved our car! We 

weren’t the only ones there from 

PCA. Botho Von Bose from Upper 

Canada (Toronto area) had driven. 

Wow! That was a long way. Even longer 

than our 2000 miles. 

Friday morning was a bevy of excitement! 

We are lucky to know 

David Bunch, the coordinator of 

the PCA corral at Laguna Seca. He 

knew many folks would want to take 

a closer look at a GT4 in person, so 

he sent us a special Island Corral 

parking pass. Awesome! It was fun 

watching people ooh and aah over 

it. There still aren’t many in the US. 

(There were twelve 918 Spyders on 

the Island, but only one GT4!) 

While we were volunteering in 

the PCA hospitality area, Tom and 

Sandy Provasi (organizers of the 

PCA Werks Reunion, held during 

Monterey Car Week) got word that 

Porsche wanted a customer-owned 

GT4 to be driven on track by a pro 

driver. Maybe even Patrick Long. 

Were we interested? I couldn’t say 

yes fast enough! Waiting for more 

details, we went on and enjoyed 

walking around the paddock areas, 

taking it all in. 

There were amazing cars on the 

track, including historic racecars: 

917s, 356 roadsters and speedsters, 

911s, 914s, 908s, 910s, 906s, 935s, 

Cup Cars, 962s, RSRs, and on and 

on. There was even a class just for 

PCA Club Racers that included several 

Maverick members (Pierce Marshall, 

Niels Meissner, Siggi Meissner, 

Bill Smith, and Pat Heptig). You 

would think the historic big dollar 

cars would be basically taking parade 

laps around, but no . . . they 

were RACING! Oh, and did I mention 

there was a 919 there? The Le- 

Mans-winning car wasn’t racing, but 

would periodically go out on track 

for demonstration laps. O.M.G. 

There were hundreds of cars out 

there lined up in the Porsche Corrals, 

all arranged by model. It was 

an amazing display! An even finer 

display was the tent of historic cars. 

It felt like every car that had some 

significance in Porsche history was 

there for us to drool on, at least 

when they weren’t out racing on the 

track. Maverick Member Billy Hibbs 

was invited to bring his 908 to show, 

driven by the legendary Vic Elford. 

Just getting started at Rennsport 

and it’s already overwhelming 

When we weren’t watching the racing 

or ogling the cars, there were 

vendors all around selling cool 

Porsche merchandise, parts, services, 

and souvenirs. We saw so many 

friends there it was unreal! We are 

truly blessed to know so many wonderful 

people. 

Saturday morning was our second 

opportunity to take it all in. We were 


finally able to use our purchased 

special hospitality suite passes, allowing 

us access to nice air conditioned 

suites where we could get 

food, drinks, and watch racing from 

the front straight and pit row. It was 

a cool place to meet up with friends 

and recharge our batteries. (I highly 

recommend it for future events.) 

Then Saturday afternoon everything 

really started ramping up. You 

might remember my mentioning 

Patrick Long? Well, we made the 

right connections and got to the 

right place at about 3:30. A representative 

from Jeff Zwart’s team 

let us know that one from a list of 

racers would be driving our car, as 

well as several others’ cars who were 

asked to join. (This was the same Jeff 

Zwart who films most of Porsche’s 

commercials, who also won the 

Pike’s Peak International Hillclimb 

in a GT3 Cup car, and does art photography 

for Panorama). The anticipation 

was almost too much to take. 

The next thing we knew, Mark Webber 

(former Formula 1 and current 

World Endurance Championship 

driver for Porsche) was coming up 

to OUR CAR to take a few laps! Jeff 

Zwart would be sitting in the passenger 

seat, interviewing the drivers for 

a commercial. What? Too cool! With 

a few technology pointers of the car 

from James, Mark and Jeff were off. 

A few laps later, they returned. Wanting 

to capitalize on this phenomenal 

opportunity, we asked Mark 

to sign the underside of the hood. 

He graciously agreed and even took 

pictures with us. What a day! But 

Porsche’s top drivers on track 

with the Shoffit’s GT4 

Derek Bell in the Shoffits’ GT4 

wait… there’s more?!?! NEXT, Sir 

Derek Bell (Five time LeMans winner) 

climbed into the driver’s seat 

for a few laps and signed the hood. 

Lather, Rinse, Repeat: 2015 LeMans 

winning 919 driver, Earl Bamber, was 

next to pilot the car and sign. Finally, 

legendary driver Jochen Mass (formerly 

of Formula 1, as well as racing 

956s and a 962 with Derek Bell, 

Jacky Ickx, and Bob Wollek) took a 

few laps and signed! We enjoyed a 

few minutes to talk with a friendly 

Jochen and his lovely wife, Bettina. 

Sadly, Patrick Long was not lucky 

enough to drive the car around the 

track, but was happy to take photos 

with us and sign, as was Jeff Zwart. 

In the meantime, James and I were 

about to pass out from the excitement! 

We were able to share the moments 

with friends Robyn and Travis 

Howard and Carey Spreen, who also 

gave us some great photos to commemorate 

the occasion. Talk about 

a once in a lifetime experience!!! 

We were on Cloud Nine! 

The next day our feet still had 

not touched the ground as we happily 

recounted the story of the prior 

day’s adventure. Surprisingly, our 

luck still had not run out. PCA had 

a series of drivers and important 

Porsche employees come to their 

tent to give talks and presentations 

about various topical issues. One of 

the scheduled times had Porsche 

GT boss and creator of the GT4, Andreas 

Preuninger, talking about the 

GT program. So, what did he need? 

Our GT4, of course! So, we carefully 

drove it into the tent so he could use 

it as a display. He gave an entertaining 

speech and answered all kinds 

of questions from the crowd. Our 

favorite question and answer was regarding 

the lack of a sunroof in the 

GT4, to which he replied, “I don’t 

need a sunroof, so why would I put 

one in?!?” Love his German humor. 

At the end of the talk, he also generously 

signed our hood. As a side 

note: does anyone know how to preserve 

Sharpie graffiti on paint? 

The Shoffits with 

Andreas Preuninger 

Sadly, our time at Rennsport Reunion 

V had to come to an end. 

As we drove away from all of our 

friends and the most phenomenal 

event we’ve ever been to, we 

couldn’t help but wonder what in 

the world could ever top what we 

just experienced? We were at the last 

Rennsport (IV) in Monterey, have 

been to 15 Parades, to the Porsche 

factory, and the Porsche museum 

twice. NOTHING will keep us from 

the next Rennsport Reunion! You 

never know what could happen at 

the next one. Magic is REAL! 

The now infamous hood with the 

signatures of Porsche team members

After our magical time at Rennsport, 

we drove our now famous 

Cayman GT4 northeastward to the 

next leg of our journey. Having 

experienced breathtaking scenery 

in Death Valley and Yosemite, we 

wanted to add Yellowstone to our list 

of adventures. We spent nearly an 

entire day taking in as much Yellowstone 

as we possibly could. It is absolutely 

amazing. I’d never been there 

and had to see 

Old Faithful. 

Along the way 

we saw more 

bison than 

I ever have 

before. When 

we stopped 

to have lunch 

Old Faithful and 

bison on the way 

to the PCA Escape 


and bison 

burgers were 

on the menu, 

it just felt 

wrong. Moving 

on . . . 

We ended up taking the Northwest 

exit out of the park and, thanks to 

the recommendation of Maverick 

member Charles Armstrong, we 

drove on the Beartooth Highway (up 

to Red Lodge, Montana). OH.MY. 

GOODNESS! What a phenomenal 

route that was, with seemingly endless 

switchbacks, high elevation 

lakes, and scenery that took your 

breath away! Some claim it’s the 

best drive in America. We couldn’t 

agree more. The next day we drove 

on to Rapid City, South Dakota by 

way of Montana and North Dakota. 

For those of you looking at a map, 

you might notice ND is slightly out 

of the way. How else are a couple 

of Texans going to pick up ND as a 

state? Gotta get there somehow and 

a specific trip there seems unlikely. 

But I digress . . . 

We arrived in Rapid City and got 

checked in to Escape. We found 

out we weren’t the only ones crazy 

enough to do both Rennsport V 

and Escape! Probably a few dozen 

folks managed that trip, including 

Maverick Bob Aines! 

We got up the next day (Thursday) 

and had our own adventure driving 

to Devil’s Tower, Sturgis, Lead and 

Deadwood. Cool places for sure. The 

next order of 

business was 

another car 

wash. That 

night was 

a people’s 

choice car 

show and we 

didn’t want 

to be embarrassed 

by the 

thousand 

bugs on the 

Devil’s Tower 

and the GT4 

front. While 

three GT4s were signed up for Escape, 

ours was the only one to make 

it. The car drew a crowd at times 

and we were happy to tell our story 

behind the signatures (and hide the 

Sharpie from any erstwhile graffiti 

artists). We voted for our favorites 

and enjoyed the nice welcome dinner 

in the park. 

On Friday was a planned group 

drive to Crazy Horse and Mount 

Rushmore. The only problem? Fog 

had descended, erasing all evidence 

that either place existed. While we 

Fog was a constant companion 

for much of Escape 

enjoyed the film, museum, gift shop, 

and delicious Indian Tacos at Crazy 

Horse, we never saw the monument. 

So, we skipped Rushmore that day 

and instead went to Bear Country. I 

wanted – nay -- NEEDED to see bears 

this trip, so we did. Fun place and 

a nice distraction from the annoying 

fog. Making lemonade, I guess. 

That night was free, so we went with 

friends to a cool bar and pizza restaurant 

in Rapid City for dinner. 

Saturday was still foggy, so we headed 

out again on our own in another 

direction. This time we went to the 

Badlands. Another place that was 

amazing and dramatically different 

from anything we’d seen before. 

The story behind it is very cool if 

you have time to look it up. On our 

way back we stopped at the world famous 

Wall Drug in Wall, SD. It’s like 

no place else I’ve ever been, complete 

with a giant Jackalope statue 

you can sit on. We enjoyed lunch 

and the best cake donuts I’ve ever 

eaten (another interesting story behind 

the place)! 

That night was the final dinner, for 

which we had been asked to park our 

car in the banquet room along with 

a lovely new Macan and gorgeous 

356. Something for everyone! More 

car cleaning beforehand, but it was 

worth it. The dinner was fun and we 

were honored to accept the trophy 

for people’s choice in the Cayman 

series! Might be the only time in our 

lives to ever win something like it! 

The next morning, with somber 

hearts that another event had ended, 

we left the hotel and thought 

we’d give Mount Rushmore one 

more chance. We drove there in 

patchy fog, parked in wispy fog, and 

walked to the viewing area hopeful 

it might clear. James was ready 

to give up, but I suggested we visit 

areas of the museum so I could at 

least know some history. As we were 

about ready to leave, the fog finally 

cleared and we were able to see it! 

Our luck had returned. 

Our route home took us right 

through Wall, SD again, so of course 

we had to stop for more donuts. Although 

we were ready to be home, 

we had to take a route that briefly

took us through Minnesota (see 

reasoning above), Iowa, Nebraska, 

Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas to 

my favorite Subway in the world in 

Waldron, AR. I can get anything I 

want there . . . it’s like I own the 

place! 

Finally we reached home after 17 

states in 14 days and 5664 miles. The 

car is fully broken in now. Throughout 

the journey it performed flawlessly. 

From the scalding hot 116° 

temps in Death Valley to a frost-covered 

24° in West Yellowstone, MT, 

How many Mav members’ 

hoods have experienced frost? 

It’s hard for James to share his toy 

the car remained perfectly temperate. 

People asked me if it was comfortable. 

I told them it was bumpy, 

noisy, and a bit tight . . . but it was a 

heck of a ride! You know what you’re 

getting into when you climb in the 

passenger side. Oh, and for those 

of you scoring at home, in the 94.5 

hours it took us for this entire journey, 

I drove for exactly ONE hour. 

Not because I couldn’t or wouldn’t 

-- it’s because James is an only child 

and is NOT good at sharing his toys. 

That’ll change . . . 

We didn’t know that this would be 

the last PCA “Escape,” until they 

announced it at the final banquet. It 

turns out they’ve renamed it to 

“Treffen North America” and will be 

soon doing two per year. Whatever 

you want to call it, it’s a blast to go 

and see scenery that you might not 

get to see, living in Texas and all! 

James has now visited 49 states and I 

have 48. Now, how many hours will 

it take to get to Alaska (via Oregon) 

so I can catch up? 

Mount Rushmore finally made an 

appearance so the PCA Escape to 

Rushmore could live up to its name

The Tub Club: Happy Birthday, Dr. Porsche 

By Barbara Madsen 


The Tub 

Club went 

on a drive 

through back 

country roads to 

the Veldhuizen 

Cheese Shoppe 

near Dublin, TX 

for our “Drive Your 356 Day” event 

on September 19, which is also 

Ferry Porsche’s birthday. Bob Morris 

organized the drive, and many 

of the Tub Club members from the 

Fort Worth/Dallas area joined him 

on this adventure. Our caravan of 

cars wound its way through rolling, 

tree-covered countryside on its way 

to our two destinations: the Veldhuizen 

farm and the Loco-Coyote Grill, 

a picturesque restaurant hidden 

away on one of the back roads in the 

area. 

Dennis Mokaren, Liz Mokaren, 

and Bob Morris with their 

Porsches in front of the 

Veldhuizen Cheese Shoppe 

Lois Olson, Lee Usher, and Hertha 

Hughes tasting samples of cheese 

The Veldhuizens pride themselves 

on the fact they use only natural 

methods of both feeding the cows 

providing the milk for their cheeses, 

and making only artisan raw milk 

cheese. The whole family is involved 

in making the 15 different types of 

cheeses produced. 

Stuart and Connie Veldhuizen took 

the Tub Club members on 

a guided tour of their farm, 

and we thoroughly enjoyed 

learning about their 

cheese-making process 

while watching one of their 

cheeses being made and 

visiting the places the cheese 

wheels were stored while 

they were aging. Everything 

during this process was 

done by hand, from taking 

the cheese curd out of the 

vat, to coating the cheese 

during 

the aging 

process, 

to turning 

the cheese 

wheels twice 

daily. We 

can all attest 

to the fact 

that their 

method 

produces Stuart Veldhuizen 

a terrific telling the Tub Club 

cheese, as 

about their cheese 

we had the 

and how it is made 

opportunity 

to sample 

the different varieties! 

What a wonderful way to celebrate 

September 19, the Drive Your 356 

Day! Both the humans and the cars 

had a great time!

Concours on the Avenue: To Carmel-by-the-Sea and Back 

By Andy Kay, Region Concours d’Elegance Chair 

As you recall 

in the October 

issue, I 

was busy prepping 

a Porsche 928 for 

the Carmel concours 

event. This 

month takes you 

through an adventure 

they make movies about: four 

men over 50, in a van, for a 1500-mile 

road trip. My, 

how you get 

to know each 

other! Roger 

Tyson, owner; 

Sean Ratts, 

mechanic; 

Jim Mayzurk, 

photographer; 

and of course 

me the OCD’ 

tailer.

The corner in Winslow, AZ 

Friday, Aug. 7, we traveled 800 

miles via Route 66, staying the night 

in Gallup, NM. A rather uneventful 

day, but we pushed hard to play the 

next day. Saturday, we played tourist 

with our first stop in Winslow, AZ. 

We took pictures, bought T-shirts, 

and literally we literally tried to 

“Take it Easy,” “Standing on the corner 

in Winslow AZ” paying tribute 

to the Eagles. 


From Winslow, we traveled to Meteor 

Crater, AZ, where 50,000 years 

ago a meteor crashed into the earth 

leaving a hole a mile wide and eighteen 

stories deep. Scientists have 

been exploring the site for years, 

digging five stories into the crater 

for research. NASA even used the 

site to simulate a moon walk. 

Meteor Crater, AZ 

Off to the Grand Canyon. On our 

way, it was incredible to see how trees 

were literally burned on one side but 

not the other from wildfires. As we 


continued 

our journey 

towards 

Needles, CA, 

the smoke 

from the 

wildfires had 

essentially 

blocked the Wildfire smoke 

sun. 

Entering California, we thought, 

“how cool to take the Pacific Coast 

Highway (CA SR1), ocean to the left 

and land to the right!” Little did we 

realize that the weight of the trailer 

with the van was too much for the 

hills and turns -- our brakes were 

actually smoking! Turning back we 

took the 101 into Carmel. 

Monday was a day to settle in and 

get ready for the event. Looking for 

a car wash, I went to work. 

had a good showing, we didn’t win. 

First place went to Mark Woodsma 

with his white OB (original body) 

928 from San Jose, CA. Mark’s 

engine was immaculate. He had just 

re-zinced every nut, bolt and washer. 

First place 928 

Although we were there for the 

show, the highlight of my day was 

showing my eight-day detail to longtime 

friend Richard Griot, who as it 

happened started Griot’s Garage in 

this exact place 25 years ago. 

Wednesday we loaded up the van 

and headed toward home. Our trip 

would not be complete without stopping 

by the general store at Blackwells 

Corner. Where, you ask? The 

location where the famous James 

Dean made his last stop before 

crashing his 550 Spyder, nicknamed 

“Little Bastard.” The store has since 

changed its name, adding a Forever 

Young Cafe and fudge factory with 

murals to keep his memory alive. 

Forever Young Cafe wall art 

Getting three days of dirt cleaned off 

After cleaning up three days of dirt 

and grime it was time for some car 

guy fun, and what a better place 

than Baja Cantina & Grill with two 

dozen of your 928 Porsche buds. 

The 928 group gathering 

Tuesday: Showtime! Our class was 

front engine, water cooled, including 

models 924/944/968/928. There 

were a dozen cars in the class, nine 

of which were 928s. Although we

After the judging, I walked over to 

the Meacham Auction booth and 

met Dana Meacham, founder of 

the auction. This was no ordinary 

event. In Carmel fashion, the headliner 

was a 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo 

Carrera originally owned by Steve 

McQueen. I had a chance to meet 

the current owner Mike Regalia 

and Steve’s 

son Chad 

McQueen.

Around the Bend... 

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor 

At the risk of alienating some 

of our most passionate Mav members, this month I’m 

thinking about the unimportance of speed 

Admit it, one of the first items many of us look for when 

reading an announcement or review of a new car is the 

0-60 time and/or the Nurburgring lap time. 

Not that there is anything wrong with an enthusiast using 

those as a barometer of possible car satisfaction, but in our Porsche-centric 

world, there is also a pretty close alignment with price and performance 

measures as mentioned above. In other words, if you want the bragging 

rights for 0-100 mph, simply get out the bigger checkbook. 

I’m reminding you this month to simply 

enjoy the driving experience in your 

Porsche. In other words, move your 

mantra to the motto: “Life is too short 

to drive boring cars”. Whether it’s the 

sublime way your Porsche handles every 

corner and curve on your commute and 

trip to the grocery store, or the sound 

of that fabulous engine as it revs past 

4,000rpm (only in first gear when in town 

unfortunately), let your smile grow wider 

each and every time you twist that key. 

Pure driving pleasure is primarily an ethereal thing, which is why every 

Porsche gets it right. Whether or not a car is enjoyable to drive is much 

more than its performance prowess. 

So, get out this month and drive your Porsche as often as possible to get 

that never-ending feeling of having purchased the most responsive and 

best driving vehicle available, no matter which year and model you own. 

On a Mav update note, as our club gets ready to put a bow on 2015, 

please welcome two members to our team of volunteers. 

Joe McGlohen is taking over the helm as our safety director for all club 

programs that involve a measure of risk when participating. 

And, long-time volunteer extraordinaire, Linda Bambina, is going to take 

a brief respite from formal duties and turn over the “content wrangler” 

title for Slipstream to Brenda Dranow. Brenda shares that her background 

in wrangling people together stems from over 20 years of experience of 

getting doctors, lawyers, engineers, CPAs, etc. all in the same place, and 

on the same page. Expect to hear from Brenda as she rustles up content 

for each issue of Slipstream. 

On a final note, I apologize for the limited number of photographs in 

some of the articles in this issue. We had a lot of content to squeeze into 

40 pages, so please take advantage of the included links 

to see the entire collection of images in full-color online. 

Happy Holidays to all of our Mav members. We look 

forward to a great 2016!
