Shifting Gears: September Activities By Jim Falgout, Region President By the time you read this the worst of our summer will be over. If the past is any indication, the weather is still warm, just not frying-eggs-on-the-sidewalk hot. At any rate, your club has several activities for you to choose from this month to enjoy your Porsche. There is an autocross on Sunday, September 6. Boxstoberfest, a very popular event put on in Fredericksburg, will be held September 11-13. The Mav Social will be at Arthur’s in Addison on Thursday, September 17. The Saturday Drive to Ben Wheeler will be on September 19. Our fifth Drivers’ Education Event of the year will be at MotorSport Ranch, September 26-27. We will also have our normal monthly lunches. So get your Porsche out and come enjoy one or more of these activities. Some of you may have received a solicitation letter from a member. It is and has always been the policy of this club that the membership directory is not to be used for commercial, i.e. solicitation, purposes. The sender was not made aware of that when they were given the directory. They have apologized and confirmed that no more solicitation letters will be sent. I want to reassure everyone that your board will do everything in its power to prevent such a situation from reoccurring. Another Porsche-related event will be taking place in Austin at COTA (Circuit of the Americas) on September 17, 18 and 19. During the Tudor SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship, also known as Lone Star Le Mans, PCA and Porsche Cars of North America have arranged for a special ticket package, known as Porscheplatz. You can purchase a Porscheplatz package which includes a 3-day Multi-Turn pass, access to exclusive PORSCHEPLATZ hospitality tent, beverages, closed circuit TV, exclusive “Porsche Only” parking, merchandise bag, paddock assess, and much more. You can contact Austin Clement (austin.clement@circuitoftheamericas.com) to purchase tickets. If you want to volunteer for a part of a day, you can contact Lynn Friedman, our PCA Zone 5 Representative (zone5rep@pca.org). She may be able to get you a one-day pass. Speaking of volunteering, we still need volunteers in almost every area. You may recall that a member who was a key component of our Drivers’ Education program passed away in March. Well, one of the volunteers who stepped up to take over some of his responsibilities is experiencing some serious medical issues, so we 2 September SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 817-329-6995 need more help in that area. YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU . . . to get involved. You will really be glad you did. Mav of the Month There are some members of our club who are amazing. This person has done so much for our club and PCA. She has been Slipstream Editor, continues to be Club Race Registrar and DE Registrar, has been involved in Founders’ Day, and many other activities. If you need something done, she is always ready to help. I am sure I have left out many things she does to make sure your club is functioning the best that it can. She is also a really good DE and autocross driver. The Mav of the Month is our Secretary, Wendy Shoffit. I really appreciate all the support she has given me and continues to give to our club. Thanks Wendy.
