Shifting Gears: Activities During Summer Hiatus 

By Jim Falgout, Region President 

August is normally the hottest 

part of the summer in North 

Texas. However, the way the 

spring and early part of the summer 

has gone, who knows? At any rate, the 

Maverick Region typically has fewer 

events in July and August, and this 

summer is no different. However, we 

do have another Photo Workshop on Saturday, August 

15. That is a good indoor activity. Also, we have our social 

events: lunches and an after-hour event. 

This year, since we have partnered with Equipe Rapide, 

we do have an autocross at Lone Star Park on Sunday, 

August 16. Hope it is not too hot for that one. 

As I mentioned last month, PCA 

had its biggest annual event in the 

last week of June, Parade. You will 

find information about it in this 

issue. It is a great event that everyone 

should go to at least once. 

Another event, which I was able 

to attend last year, is the Werks 

Reunion. It is held in August in 

Monterey, California, during “Car 

Week.” This year it is on Friday, 

August 14. That is tremendous time to be in Monterey. 

The Historic Races (aka Rolex Monterey Motosports 

Reunion) are held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca that 

same weekend. There is a really nice Concours in Carmel. 

There are auctions by RM Auctions, Russo Steele, 

Mecum and Gooding. Of course, that is also the time of 

the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. So if you can 

go to the Werks Reunion, you can do a lot of car events. 

This year the Werks Reunion is celebrating 40 years of 

the 911 Turbo. (This year is also the 60th anniversary 

of PCA.) 

A special 

congratulations 

to Al Zim who 

celebrated his 

50th 

anniversary 

as a PCA 

member in July. 

A special congratulations to Al 

Zim who celebrated his 50th anniversary 

as a PCA member in 

July. 

Shifting gears back to our region, 

I want to remind you that 

we are going to publish a printed 

Member Directory this fall. If 

you do not want your information 

to be included, see the steps 

you need to take on page 7 of this issue. 

I received an email from a member this month volunteering 

for our new committee on Social Media. That is

Mav of the Month 

great. We can always use more volunteers. 

Now is a good time to reassess 

how you can help make your club even 

better. YOUR CLUB WANTS YOU . . . to 

get involved. You will really be glad you 

did. 

Any of you who have participated in a Sunday or Saturday 

Drive know what a great job our Tours Committee is 

doing. The current leadership in that committee had a 

good example to follow and they have improved on it. 

Again, this was a case of some folks stepping up to make 

sure an activity 

they enjoyed 

would continue 

and be enjoyed 

by many. For the 

tremendous job 

he has done 

leading this activity 

to greater 

heights, our Mav 

of the Month is 

Tom Martin. 

Thanks Tom, 

keep up the 

good work.

Around the Bend... 

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor 

Our PCA motto, “It’s not just 

the cars, it’s the people” had 

me reflect on our current region 

membership and the state of auto 

enthusiasts in general. 

For example, when I cruise over to 

Keller’s on Northwest Highway during 

any Saturday night, I don’t drive my 

Porsche, nor do I remember seeing any vehicles of the 

Porsche persuasion parked anywhere in the rear lot. 

When my old, big-cammed Mustang with the requisite 

narrow front and wide drag rear tires rumbles into the 

lot, heads turn and nod and I’m greeted with approving 

smiles. Would I receive the same welcome if I drove my 

981S and took a prime parking spot? 

Similarly, when I participate in an SCCA Track Night 

in America event or an Equipe Rapide autocross, my 

Porsche (and by association, me) receive appreciative 

glances from other participants and a welcome conversation 

about mid-engine handling traits. 

Would my odd-tired, under-braked, and visibly shaking 

Mustang receive unbelieving stares and “I hope he never 

gets close to me” mumbles when I park on the grid? 

And yet, when I attend a Cars & Coffee type of 

event with either ride, I’m greeted with open 

arms (and ears) by at least one side or other of 

the parking lot. However, there are pretty clear 

lines of division as to which cars are welcome to 

park in certain locations of the lot. 

It’s easy to generalize which cars and people are most 

welcome in these and any similar gatherings. Yet, once 

I start a conversation with enthusiasts at Keller’s, MSR, 

or virtually any vehicular event, I almost always quickly 

realize how much all of us have in common. 

It turns out that we are all in love with, know as much 

as we can about, and fret about that odd noise or stray 

piece of dust invading our rides. 

My bottom line is whether you are a car show (concours) 

aficionado, a wrencher who knows every oil 

pump replacement option since 1948, a racer who lives 

for the next apex, or simply someone who enjoys the 

drive in a Porsche, this club and our members all appreciate 

the variety and enthusiasm brought to our group 

by each of us. 

So, in this heat of August, make a point to go outside 

your comfort zone of auto enthusiasts you talk with and 

try to gain a greater appreciation of their viewpoint of 

what makes our club not just about the cars, but about 

the people. 

Who can say that a concours trophy or an autocross trophy 

is more valuable? The club enthusiasts who worked 

hard to earn either trophy, and by association, all of us, 

are the real winners in this all-consuming hobby 

we love. 

Challenge yourself to check out our full slate of 

upcoming events and participate in one that 

you have not tried before. I guarantee that you 

will meet lots of interesting people.

Cooper Center Concours: Autos in the Park 2015 

By Andy Kay, Region Concours Chair 

Photos by George Luxbacher and Linda Bambina 

On Sunday, 

June 7, 

hundreds 

turned out for the 

10th Annual Autos 

in the Park Concours 

d’Elegance 

at The Cooper 

Aerobics Center in Dallas. This is 

Jack Griffin’s charity event benefiting 

Texas Scottish Rite Hospital and 

The Cooper Institute. 

The Maverick Region area was 

once again in a prime spot 

If you have not attended this annual 

event and have an appreciation 

for fine automobiles, be they 

American or European, you owe it 

to yourself to see it next year. There 

is no charge for spectators, and you 

will be amazed at the quality and 

range of cars that are right here in 

the DFW area. 

Southwest, Jaguar, Pontiac, Porsche, 

Rolls Royce, and Shelby. PCA’s Maverick 

Region had the largest turnout 

with 53 registered cars on display. 

The overall awards were divided 

into pre- and post-1980 cars from 

four classes: American, British, German, 

and Italian. Maverick members 

winning the German class were Bob 

Aines with his 1969 911E and David 

Bradley with his 911 GT2. 

The Maverick Region had our own 

Concours-within-a-Concours. Alan 

Bambina judged the eight classes, 

with the following results. 

356, All Years Mike Harling 

914, All Years Rich O’Day 

Early 911/912 Umesh Oza

“. . . it’s the people”: Charlie Davis 

As told to Linda Bambina 

Charlie has been an active 

Maverick member for a bit 

less than 50 of the region’s 

53 years. He epitomizes the idea of 

a Maverick (individualist; rebel; nonconformist) 

more than most, and he 

certainly personifies the concept of 

active more than most. As an engineer/ 

“frustrated physicist”, risk-taker, major geek, inventor, 

photographer, out-of-the-box thinker, envelope 

pusher, and agent of change, he has been infusing these 

personality traits, plus his talents, interests, and enthusiasm 

into our club for five decades. And all the while 

he encouraged others to try new ideas of their own for 

more unique activities than you would believe, all in an 

effort to keep interest high and needs met as our club 

has continued to go, go and grow! 

In 1972, Charlie organized 

a 2 1/2-day tour to 

Eureka Springs, AR and 

continued to be involved 

for many years. One of 

the stops was “The Tree” 

on Magazine Mountain. 

“There were many ‘traditional’ 

elements of 

this tour, and one was 

throwing Frisbees off 

the escarpment into the 

trees below. We never 

lost any member when 

doing this. The tree 

was removed for safety 

reasons when the Lodge 

was rebuilt.” 

One of our newest 

members, Valerie Fitzau, 

had only visited with 

him a little bit at the All Member Party several years ago, 

but had this incredibly astute observation: “In Porsche 

model years, Charlie is a classic.” 

When the club was just getting started, Charlie stepped 

up as Region President twice, VP twice, and Secretary 

once (not his thing!). He joined the National level 

PCR (Parade Competition Rules) Committee for an 

amazing 12 years, chairing it four times. He created his 

legendary “Charlie’s Charts,” which was a computer-onpaper-set 

of formulas to determine class placement at 

driving events. He moved from that National Position 

into being the Representative for Zone 5 for four more 


“The Tree” - as yet another 

stunning composition in 

Charlie’s portfolio. 

Photos by Charlie Davis and Linda Bambina 

years, overlapping our region’s first DFW Parade in 

Texas. Charlie had long been a strong advocate in the 

80s of computerized Parade registration and scoring 

of the competitive events. At the 1987 DFW Parade he 

was very involved with the first implementation of his 

“heavy use of computer ideas put into action.” With his 

creative wife Teri as the Parade Chair (the first female 

to do so), the two of them made history. (Oh, the stories 

about that effort!) 

Charlie went on to create 

and participate in the 

National Club Computer 

Systems Committee in 

1988, as well as to join 

the Parade Advisory 

Committee (’88-’91). 

His insight, influence, 

and vision for the club at 

the national level earned 

him the highest respect 

and he was named the 

first recipient of the 

Hank Malter National 

Zone Rep Award. This 

award is “presented by 

the Zone Representatives 

to individuals within 

Porsche Club of America 

who, in the opinion of 

Charlie captured by Linda 

in his traditional pose at 

the 2015 Parade. 

the thirteen Zone Representatives, have distinguished 

themselves by making outstanding contributions to the 

club. The PCA Zone Representatives Award is made 

solely at the discretion of the Zone Representatives. 

This unique award may or may not be given annually.” 

Let me squeeze in here and relate that Charlie was also 

the first recipient (in 1976) of Maverick’s highest “Enthusiast 

of the Year” honor, the Selcer Memorial Award. 

He and wife Teri won it again in 1981. 

In 1998, Charlie organized the 914 Special Interest 

Group and ran it for 8 years. 

For the 2004 Parade, Charlie put on one of the best 

Autocrosses ever, with a LOT of help from his friends. 

Charlie continues to be a major force in Maverick 

Region as a promoter of photography for Slipstream. 

His photography of Maverick Region events began 

long before he met Teri, but it continued as a way to 

help Teri when she was Slipstream Editor for five years 

(not unlike how Leonard Turner and Betty Jo Turner 

of Porsche Panorama worked as a husband-wife team.)

He was also The Man who took the incredible 50th Anniversary 

Poster Picture of our “50 Family” Porsches at 

Texas Motor Speedway, thank you very much! Now he 

is involved with teaching digital photography sessions 

for club members, creating contests, and encouraging 

casual photographers to submit their work to a special 

folder on the webpage (his idea); the goal is to make 

them less casual. He also submits photos for many of 

our Slipstream articles. He even has one Porsche Panorama 

cover to his credit. 

Charlie loves to tell stories, with or without his photography 

as an enhancement. Go to www.1derful.info 

to see how clever he is capturing the light. Click on the 

“Pix” link and watch the slide show of his “50-year collection”

Destination Restoration: Breathing Life into a 944 

By Ash Seidl-Staley 

Recently my 

914 has 

dominated 

the subject matter 

of the articles I 

have contributed to 

our prestigious Slipstream, 

and frankly 

my 944 is getting a 

little bit jealous. In all actuality, she has 

no need to be this jealous, since behind 

the scenes of this column I have been 

pulling double duty, tinkering away 

on both cars at the same time, with 

nearly the same amount of dedication. 

Throughout this past year I cleaned and 

reassembled the entire top half of the 

944’s engine while I was waiting for the 

914’s new parts to arrive, and while its 

older parts soaked in cleaning solutions 

or were drying from re-sprays. I have accomplished 

so many tasks that I was able 

to finish both cars and get them ready 

for the open road before this summer’s 

Texas-sized heater kicked on. And, like 

I highlighted the transformation of my 

914, it is only fair that the 944 have her 

debut on the public stage as well. So 

without further ado I give you my 2.5L 

1987 944, reborn! 

Now if you remember the horror stories 

I have told about my 944 these last 

3 years, you can surmise that it took a 

heck of a lot of work to get it roaring 

back to life; for those who don’t know let 

me give you a synopsis. Way back when 

(2012) my timing belt snapped while I 

was driving to school. This caused all 

but one of the valves within the cylinder 

head to bend. I took the car to a small 

shop, which fixed the valves and belt for 

a reasonable price, despite the months 

it actually took them to complete it. 

It was only after about a week of having 

the car back that the balance shaft 

belt and the timing belt both decided 


The Reborn 944 

to snap. This subsequently damaged 

my valves again, though thankfully this 

time it was only two of them. This is 

the point in the story where I decided 

to stop spending the money at a shop, 

and instead opted to do the mechanical 

work myself. Truth be told, I was so 

furious at the situation that I put the 

project on the back burner and let the 

car reflect on its behavior for nearly six 

months. It wasn’t until the summer of 

2014 that I started to clean and work 

under the hood again. 

Picking up where I had left off the 

prior year, I removed the damaged cylinder 

head and had the valves redone at 

a machine shop. In addition to the valve 

work I opted to have the entire cylinder 

head resurfaced. The resurfacing was 

much needed because the compression 

numbers for each cylinder 1-4 (~120, 

~145, ~150, and ~110 respectively) indicated 

that the cylinder head might be 

warped. After some measurements, the 

machine shop determined that the head 

was indeed warped and that, thankfully, 

there was enough “meat “on it for it to 

be a candidate for resurfacing. 

After shelling out 120 bucks and waiting 

three days, I was given a shiny resurfaced 

head. With all my parts in hand, 

I started putting everything that I had 

taken off of the car back together. The 

first roadblock in the build came about 

when I discovered that two of my belt 

tensioners were out of whack. This was 

something that was missed by the shop 

to which I took the car the first time! 

These faulty 

tensioners 

were wobbling 

and 

not spinning 

as freely as 

they should; 

their sporadic 

movement 

likely 

Getting back together 

caused the belts to miss and snap. 

After replacing the tensioners and putting 

on the new belts, I had to get the 

timing belt tensioned properly. Again I 

chose to attempt the procedure myself. 

I used the 90-degree trick of bending 

Photos by the Author 

the belt to guesstimate what the proper 

tension should be. Being too much of a 

chicken, and a little frustrated from the 

belts previously snapping, I pushed the 

car on down the road to an import shop 

and had the mechanic there double 

check my work. With his green light I 

brought the car back home to finish 

putting everything together. The cylinder 

head gasket, cam housing gasket, 

cam housing, intake, vacuum lines, and 

fuel rail all went back on without issue. 

With adrenaline-fueled excitement I 

attempted to start the car but was only 

met with shudders and coughs. 

What did I miss? Was it not in alignment? 

Was there something else wrong 

with the car? My mind raced with possible 

suspects. I methodically went down 

the list of possibilities one by one. The 

fuel pump made its famous buzz when 

the key was turned, so, theoretically I 

was getting fuel from the tank to front 

of car. The starter could be heard kicking 

things into motion. The car turned 

over and over, but it just would not fire. I 

checked battery, spark plugs, wires, and 

the ignition coil to see if I hooked everything 

up right. Everything checked 

out ok, so I opted to pull the distributor 

cap. Lo and behold the rotor of the distributer 

was missing the screw that holds 

it in place. This meant that the car had 

no idea when and where to send the 

spark. After locating the screw and attaching 

the arm, I replaced the cap and 

sat down in the driver’s seat ready for 

the second attempt. I closed my eyes, 

turned the key and . . . VAROOOOM!! 

I immediately got out and danced the 

happy dance around my apartment 

complex shouting “She’s Alive!” my 

neighbors probably thought I was crazy, 

but I didn’t care -- I had done it. 

Getting this 944 running was one 

thing, but getting it ready for Texas 

State inspection was quite an ordeal; 

one that deserves its own article. Stay 

tuned for the next installment, which 

will cover the 944’s inspection and what 

you will need to know when it comes to 

your Porsche and the new One Sticker 

system. As always, stay safe and wrench 

on Mavs!

“Little Ranch on the Prairie”: The Rancho Sereno Run 

By The Alleged 

Photos by Bill Orr 

Maverick 

Region 

VP Gareth 

Maurice sent 

out a short e-mail 

blast a while back 

informing us that 

FM 455, north of 

the Metroplex urban sprawl, was 

currently being repaved. 

This particular road is well known 

by sports car enthusiasts, along with 

avid motorcyclists and bicyclists, as 

a primo example of “the twisties” in 

North Texas. Voy “Mitch” Mitchell 

lives out that way, and offered to 

keep me abreast of the paving process. 

Within a few months, a 30-mile 

stretch from Van Alstyne to Pilot 

Point was finished, so Jon Glover 

and I met up with Mitch for a “recon” 

drive, one of the preludes to a 

Maverick Sunday Drive. 

Recon drives are huge fun, because 

with just a few fast Porsches on the 

route, you can really . . . umm . . . 

trust me on this -- it’s huge fun. So 

I elected to use this stretch as the 

start of a Saturday Drive to Rancho 

Sereno in Whitesboro. The final leg 

of the route was gleaned from a previous 

Sunday Drive. It was a clean, 

fast route with minimal to no traffic 

and relatively miniscule population. 

Neill Flood and I met with Mike 

Maberry, the owner of the ranch, 

back in February. The locale and 

grounds are indeed “sereno,” and 

Mike is arguably the finest gentleman 

I have ever met. Mike was 


agreeable towards allowing the PCA 

to enlist his ranch as a final destination 

point; thus the wheels were set 

in motion for a spring drive. 

Catering arrangements were made 

with Rohmer’s of Muenster, and 

after a few spirited pre-drives, we 

mapped out the route on our GPS 

units and were ready to go. Set a 

date, published all the info, printed 

up all the paperwork, and then eagerly 

awaited the drive date. 

Then the Lord reached out to 

Noah and commanded him to build 

an ark. It was to be 300 cubits by 50 

cubits by 30 cubits. Noah lived in 

Plano at the time. And we all know 

what happened next. A massive rainfall 

washed away our plans in one 

fell swoop. I have never seen that 

much water since the Flood of ’55, 

when the Naugatuck River flooded 

the Naugatuck Valley region of central 

Connecticut. 

The drive was rescheduled for three 

weeks out. Surely that would allow 

enough time for the water to subside, 

right? On the day of the drive, 

the weather report looked good and 

there were no published road closures, 

so 56 Porsches departed from 

the Grayson Community College 

campus in Van Alstyne. 

Then came the best part -- the 

twisties. A myriad of varied corners: 

never ending sweepers, ess bends, 

kinks, undulating turns over slight 

elevation changes, all over excellent 

tarmac. And with no sign of Noah 

and his ark. 

With just over 10 miles of the 100- 

mile route to go, the drive groups 

ran into a slight snag. A full-blown 

road closure. Yep, completely shut 

down. One could only surmise that 

flood water was the reason, but regardless, 

all of the group leaders 

and their herds worked together to 

determine an alternate route to the 

final destination. I was impressed, to 

say the least. 

Ultimately all the hardy Mavericks 

rolled onto the manicured grounds 

of Rancho Sereno, greeted by our 

host Mike Maberry and the catering 

crew of Rohmer’s Restaurant. 

We all enjoyed a Texas BBQ lunch, 

complete with peach cobbler, iced 

tea and the camaraderie of fellow 

Mavericks. 

Mavericks ate, communed, relaxed 

and enjoyed some great photo ops 

of their Porsches amidst the bucolic 

vistas of the ranch. Good stuff. 

There was plenty of food left over, 

and it was promptly donated to the 

Sacred Heart Outreach in Muenster, 

where it will be enjoyed by families 

in need. 

Our Sunday Drive “Masters” 

with our Rancho Sereno host 

Sincerest thanks to Mike and Lisa 

Maberry of Rancho Sereno, Troy 

Sicking of Rohmer’s Restaurant & 

Catering, Tracy Robertson for handling 

the Punchbowl evites and payments, 

Voy Mitchell for the recon, all 

the drive group leaders: Neill Flood, 

Jon Glover and Chris Sorrells, plus 

Gabe Sorrells and my wife Jan for 

taking care of the sign ups, and to 

all the Mavericks who participated 

in the drive and made this event a 

success. 

See you all in East Texas in September 

at the next Sunday Drive!

The 60th Porsche Parade: Mavericks Stand Out in French Lick 

By Carey Spreen 

Photos by Linda Bambina and Carey Spreen 

When it was announced at 

the 2013 Parade that the 

60th Parade was to be held 

in French Lick, Indiana, many of us 

scratched our heads in puzzlement. 

Where the heck is French Lick, and 

what possessed the Parade Committee 

to choose that location for PCA’s annual 

convention, especially on the 60th anniversary of 

the founding of the club? 

We need not have worried. French Lick turned out to 

be a superb location for a couple thousand of our closest 

Porsche friends to gather for a week of competition 

and socializing. Granted, when I arrived in town the day 

before the Parade began, the football field at the local 

high school was under a couple of feet of water, and 

there was a brand new lake in front of the West Baden 

Resort, as Tropical Storm Bill had just passed through, 

capping off several days of the deluge that North Texas 

was suffering through at the same time. 

But the staff at 

the French Lick 

Resort and West 

Baden Resort 

(the two Parade 

headquarter hotels) 

accommodated 

the storms 

without missing 

a beat, moving The Onsite Porsche Museum 

several events 

that were originally planned to be outdoors to indoor, 

or at least covered, venues. For instance, the Welcome 

Party, usually held outdoors on the evening of the first 

day, was moved to the ground level of the resort parking 

garage. Surprisingly, that same location was where part 

of the Concours 

d’Elegance was 

held the very 

The Historic Display included the 

Le Mans winning 911 GT1 

next morning. 

The “60 4 

60” display, a 

showing of one 

Porsche for 

each year that 

the club has 

been around 

(beginning 

with a 1955 

Speedster), was 

moved into a large tennis 

enclosure, which 

was fortunately airconditioned, 

and was a 

relief from the humidity 

outside. Maverick 

Region member Don 

Breithaupt had the 

honor of representing 

1986 with his beautifully-maintained 

black 3.2 

Carrera. 

The rain moved out 

of the area as the week 

progressed, and the 

grounds started to dry 

up. In fact, there was no more precipitation for the 

other outdoor competitive events: the TSD Rally and 

the Autocross. The TSD Rally took place on some very 

scenic, very twisty, and very narrow two-lane roads in 

the area, and was designed for novices, although it gave 

the experts a run for their money as well. Amazingly 

there were no protests, which is unheard of in a Parade 

TSD Rally. 

The Autocross 

ran over a twoday 

period at the 

French Lick Airport, 

up and down 

the runway in a 

series of slaloms 

and chicanes. It 

looked deceptively 

simple, but there 

were many DNFs 

The 1986 “60 4 60” 3.2 

Carrera of Don Breithaupt 

as participants figured out which way the course went. 

There was a big delay the first morning, when a corporate 

jet needed to land, so the course workers removed 

all of the cones from the runway and then replaced 

them once the plane 

had taxied to its location. 

The morning of 

the second Autocross 

day, the skies looked 

very dark and angry, 

but the clouds moved 

on without spilling 

Groups of Mavericks could 

be found everywhere 

The weather was perfect for 

the actual Porsche Parade 

a drop, so everyone 

got dry pavement for 

their four runs.
