Shifting Gears: The Final Drives of 2016
By Jim Falgout, Region President
st Gear – I am writing this shortly after our
1
“Annual Celebration,” formerly known as
Founders’ Day. Tracy Robertson and Phyllis
Gallegos did a fine job organizing this
event. Everyone who attended had an enjoyable evening.
Some of us obtained some nice items in the silent
auction. The proceeds of the silent auction go to one
of our charities, the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House. We
saw some fine pictures of Porsches that members had
entered in the photography contest.
At the Annual Celebration, the Richard F. Selcer
Memorial Award is often presented. This award is given
to a member of the club who has exhibited superior
performance and dedication to the Maverick Region.
The Selcer Award was presented to John Hamilton this
year. John preceded me as president. He is an excellent
example of someone who has a great passion for the
club and will fill any role to make sure it is successful.
Apparently, everyone there agreed because they gave
him a standing ovation.
2nd Gear – This coming weekend is the annual club
race at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, Texas. Hopefully
you were able to attend or participate in this fun event.
3rd Gear – You are reading this in the last month of
the year. We do not have many club events in December
with all the holiday activities our members already
have scheduled. In fact, our next Monthly Social is not
scheduled until February. Hope you can make that
event. Stephanie Ho always does a great job in arranging
those activities.
4th Gear – This is also the last month of my second
term as your President. It has been an honor to serve
you. This club has the benefit of having great members
who contribute their time and talents towards its
success. It has been a pleasure working with everyone
involved. We have had some challenges, members who
suddenly were unable to perform and in every case
someone else stepped up to fill the need.
5th Gear – The previous gear leads
me into my favorite topic: volunteering.
Your Club needs you…… Volunteer: You
will be glad you did.
6th Gear – I have often heard the expression
“It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.” I can
attest to that. As many of you know, I was struck with a
malady known as Guillean Barre’ Syndrome. Without
SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor

much warning, I lost the ability to walk. I was hospitalized
for three weeks and since then have been going
through rehabilitation. The good news is full recovery
is the prognosis. During my hospitalization, I received
emails, Facebook postings, cards, presents, visits, and
phone calls from members of Maverick Region. It was
amazing. I will be forever thankful for all those and the
prayers that were said for me. My recovery has been
exceptionally quick.
MAV OF THE MONTH: David Robertson
Our Mav of the Month was contributing to our club
long before he had an official role. His wife Tracy, was,
and still is a committee
chairperson and
he assisted her in
that role. Now he is
an officer, our current
vice president.
When I could not fill
my role as president,
he stepped in without
hesitation and
did a great job. Your
next president, David
Robertson, is
Mav of the Month, as
we come to the end
of 2016.

Gimme a Minute: November Board Meeting
By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary November 2, 2016
he meeting began at 6:59
T
pm. We welcomed President
Jim Falgout back.
He announced that
nominations for the PCA National
awards are due 12/31 and asked for
suggestions. Andy Kay nominated
Stephanie Ho for Enthusiast. Jim
also asked if anyone was interested in
becoming Zone 5 Representative, as
Lynn Friedman’s term was ending.
He put forth a request from Richard
Solomon to donate to the Boot
Campaign charity for their “Santa
Boots.” David Robertson made a
motion to donate $5K. Jim Falgout
seconded. The motion passed.
VP David Robertson reporting
for his wife, Social Chair Tracy Robertson,
said the Annual Celebration
is Saturday, Nov 5. As in the past, the
event will include the traditions of
the Selcer/Murrell Award presentation,
Silent Auction, Photo Contest,
and Officer Election. Changes include
a heavy hors d’oeuvres buffet
instead of the seated dinner.
Safety Chair Joe McGlohen announced
we have safe events with no
incidents being reported. All events
have been properly insured and are
well run, not just DE events, but all
with moving cars.
Charlie Davis was delivering raffle
items. He helped judge the photo
contest this year. There were more
entrants than last year and said they
were great quality. Next year they
might include a cell phone photo
category to adapt to how people
take pics.
Bill Middleton again thanked
the Tours and DE group for their
support of the Hope Shelter. PCA
Tours Chair Tom Martin gave him
additional gift cards that people
brought to the latest tour. He said
they all go to a good cause, including
a recent case with a mom and
five kids who arrived at Hope in
the middle of the night with nothing
but the clothes on their backs.
To celebrate the tenth year of their
facility, he encouraged all to attend
their Christmas party on Dec. 17,
which he wants to make bigger and
better.
Secretary Wendy Shoffit reported
for Goodie Store Chair Chris Flaugh
that the new logo window decals
were ready to distribute on Saturday.
He will continue to sell classic logo
merchandise until December 15,
but after that will be the new logo.
He also proposed to simplify the
name badge design to just have the
name, without city and vehicle info.
Reporting for Membership Chair
John Hamilton, we had a net loss of
13 members, but still have a positive
YTD increase of 40. He suggested
it’s time to update the membership
brochure, as the new digital display
panels have piqued more interest
and people have been taking more
copies. As DE and Club Race Registrar,
Wendy said we had a DE event
in September that had lower than
normal attendance, but since it was
on the shorter track, hopefully we
didn’t lose money. Registrations for
the Club Race (Nov. 12-13) this year
also seem to be down.
Kurt Skaggs is a Creative Director
by trade and a new PCA volunteer.
He is going to help the Slipstream
team with graphic design work.
Editor Jim Hirsch said we are
holding steady at 1900 copies/
month and is going to get price
quotes to print in full color. Bill
Kruder is contacting advertisers to
confirm who wants to receive printed
copies, if they are not already.
Jim thanked event chairs and all for
getting him content each month.
Co-Editor Carey Spreen continues
working with UNT to digitize
past Slipstreams. We were missing
1998 issues, but fortunately was
able to borrow them from Ed Mayo.
Kevin Hardison at Ussery Printing
will be preparing PDFs going backwards
in time, while UNT is going
forwards and they will meet in the
middle.
PCA Tours Chair Tom Martin
said that the last tour to Rancho
Sereno was great with 117 people
and 66 Porsches in attendance. He
had a surplus of $466, which will
cover the supply budget next year.
He collected an additional $225 in
Walmart Gift Cards for Hope. He
has been working with PCA National
Tour Chair Greg Halverson to
encourage the use of Garmin Base-
Camp as part of the program. He is
stepping back in 2017 to let Bill Orr
and Mark Pitarresi take the lead,
with additional help from interested
others. Mark stated he is glad to be
helping out with tours.
He has a potential set of dates
and routes already for next year.
Monthly Social Chair Stephanie
Ho reported that the Oktoberfest
event at Uncle Buck’s was well attended
by about 100 members, with
80 staying for dinner. The manager
invited us back for December and a
special holiday event. They want to
include a canned food drive as well.
There will not be one in January to
avoid conflict with the All Member
Party.
Calendar Chair Brendan Eagan
is turning over the reins to Karl
Poulsen next year. Karl has lurked
in PCA for years and now is happy
to help with the calendar.
Rally Chair Don Sebert said the
October event was successful with
30 cars and 60+ people, including
many in costume. They had a great
route and food. Hopes to be bigger
and better next year. John Harvey
and Jeff Sebert have volunteered to
help with the program.
6 December

Concours Chair Andy Kay mentioned PCA Palooza
was next weekend and there are at least two caravans
going. He will write an article about it, as one of the
largest events in PCA next to Parade. He also attends
other car show events, which he will promote on Facebook
for enthusiasts.
PCA Tours Co-Chair Bill Orr mentioned the upcoming
Coffee, Cones & Scones event at the autocross
on 11/13. He has been working hard to update our
website, including turning the new logo “on” Saturday
night after the Annual Celebration. He has also been
researching custom PCA license plates for Texas, which
could net us royalties. He will continue to do so.
Lastly, Jim Falgout announced this month’s Mav of
the Month is David Robertson, who did a great job stepping
in for him while he was recovering from an illness.
Great job, David!

Five Speed Chatter: A Little Shift in the Gears
By Ash Seidl-Staley
Photo courtesy of the Author
ell Mavs, it’s the end of another year. Maybe
W
I’m getting old but I feel like 2016 barely
just started, even with the debilitating and
oftentimes grueling presidential election
cycle! As a Gen-Y-er that is socially liberal yet fiscally
conservative I often feel isolated from the mainstream
hubbub. To be honest, I couldn’t care less about the
pageantry of the election; I care about results. Give me
a steady wage, a home, a garage, some gasoline, and
the means to buy a Porsche, and I’m a happy camper.
Hopefully we all survived the first month with our new
president elect, were able to enjoy a hearty Thanksgiving
meal, and have been spending the holiday season
with family and friends.
Looking forward to 2017, I plan on introducing
another set of themed articles for our prestigious newsletter.
Keeping up with my personal and professional
aspirations, I plan on researching the histories of various
events, mechanical innovations, and pop culture
phenomena relating to Porsche. Due to my graduate
work, the bookshelves in my study are already lined with
eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth century American
histories, but tucked away within my authentic German
schrank are books all about our cars. I have access
to material about 911s, 914s, 924s, 944s, 968s, and 928s.
I have books describing the histories of Porsche racing,
as well as literature designating each model’s vehicle
specifications, not to mention a whole cache of Panoramas
and Slipstreams! The new series of articles will
cover a wide array of topics, from the reasoning behind
the hood scoop placement on the 924 Carrera GT to
revealing a few debates Germany Region members had
over what the best brakes were in the late 60s.
Not to worry though. The year 2017 will bring many
more Porsche-related “Chatter” articles, as well as some
much-needed “Destination Restoration” additions. I
am pleased to report that Jenny, Christian, and I will be
moving into our newly constructed house in the beginning
months of next year. At that
point I will finally have a garage,
and the real fun can actually begin;
someone has a 935 to build
remember . . .
Happy Holidays from the Seidl-Staleys,

356s in the Ouachitas: The Tub Club Goes to Arkansas
By Barbara Madsen

n late October, Tub Club members were off
I
on another adventure, which included stops
in Sulphur Springs and Winnsboro, Texas
while on the way to our final destination,
Mount Magazine, Arkansas. Jim Usher did a fabulous
job of organizing the event!
Everyone loves a parade, and Tub Club members
are no exception! We were treated to a fabulous
antique car parade in Winnsboro, an event that is
part of their annual Autumn Fest Celebration. Alan
and Linda Bambina, Tub Club
members, have a vacation home
close to Winnsboro, and after
the parade, the club drove to
this delightful retreat, The Tree
House, which was nestled among
stately trees in the East Texas
Piney Woods, for a quick lunch
before continuing on to Mount
Magazine, the state’s tallest
mountain.
We left Texas behind and
traveled through the hills of
10 December
The Tub Club heading to The Tree House
Oklahoma and Arkansas along roads which snaked
their way through a mixture of green and sunsetcolored
trees as we traveled to our destination. Our
hotel, Mount Magazine Lodge, overlooked a valley
with a lake, and all of us had spectacular views of the
area from our windows. This hotel is located in Mount
Magazine State Park, so there were several meandering
hiking trails within walking distance of the hotel. It was
a nature lover’s dream!
The next day, we had a choice of two museums to
visit: the Crystal Bridges Museum
of American Art, and The
Museum of Automobiles. Each
museum had memorable displays
and, whether we chose the art
museum or the automobile
museum, all the club members
had a great time.
Thanks, Jim, for providing this
opportunity to the other
members of the club. We all
enjoyed ourselves thoroughly
and appreciate your hard work!

PCA Tours Recap: Rancho Sereno Redux
By Tom Martin, PCA Tours Co-Chair
hile waxing nostalgic recently, the song
W
“Happy Trails” popped into my head. You
remember that golden oldie from Roy Rogers,
don’t you? The song struck a certain
chord in my head; I think it was G Major, or maybe it
was Asia Minor. Whatever. “Happy trails to you, until we
meet again . . . ”
No matter my efforts, I could not delete that engaging
little ditty from my brain. It became clear that a
flush was needed. It was time for another PCA Tour to
Rancho Sereno.
And so, on a temperate
Saturday morning in mid-
October, 117 Mavericks in
66 Porsches flocked to the
campus of Grayson College
in Van Alstyne to embark
upon a spirited 90-mile jaunt
to Rancho Sereno in Whitesboro.
The ranch is located
smack dab in the middle of
horse ranch country, just
about seven miles from Michael
Schumacher’s ranch
Bill Orr marks the
gathering point for the
PCA Tour with club flags
in nearby Gordonville.
An eleventh-hour change
in the route was necessitated
when ranch owner Mike Maberry
informed me that downtown Whitesboro would
be closed to traffic on the day of the Tour because of
the Whitesboro Peanut Celebration -- and you don’t
mess with Mr. Peanut. Initially the last leg of the Tour
ran through the downtown area, so a detour was incorporated
into the route, which actually turned out quite
well.
Unlike most Tours, the first 10-15 miles of the route
was not dedicated to getting out of the confines of the
Metroplex. Right from the initial off, Mavericks were
able to experience the exhilaration of exploring their
Porsches’ limits on wide open, challenging twisties.
And so we drove, through the sleepy towns of
Weston, Celina, and Pilot Point, and then the small
hamlets of Tioga, Gunter, and Dorchester, before ambling
through the pastoral towns of Sadler, Whitesboro,
and Callisburg, leading up to the bucolic grounds of
Rancho Sereno.
Ranch Sereno is owned by Mike and Lisa Maberry,
former Maverick Region members. They are very accommodating
hosts, and arrangements were made
with Dickey’s BBQ to provide a real Texas lunch for the
participants.
Photos by Bill Orr
In terms of
weather, we couldn’t
have wished for a
better day. Lounging
on the patio of
the ranch, eating
brisket with all the Ready to begin the drive
fixins, enjoying the
solitude of the grounds of the ranch, was almost Zenlike.
But that’s me, and I’m just sayin’ . . . although I’m
pretty sure other Mavs felt the same way.
Many thanks to Mike and Lisa Maberry for the excellent
accommodations, and to Dickey’s BBQ for the
lunch.
Kudos to the Tour leaders and sweeps: Bill Orr,
Mark Pitarresi, Greg Dranow, Karl Poulsen, and my
wife Jan. Big shout-outs also to all the other Mavericks
who contributed to the Tours program during the past
year: Jon Glover, John Harvey, Voy “Mitch” Mitchell,
Young Slack, Chris and Gabe Sorrells, Kurt Reuland,
and Kevin Creed.
“Happy trails to you, until we meet again . . . ”
Stay tuned for the 2017 PCA Tours schedule, and
hope to see you on a PCA Tour next year!

Kruder’s Cars & Conversations
By Bill Kruder, Region Advertising Chair
Photos courtesy of the Author
ell as luck would have
W
it I ran into these two
brothers about two years
ago at Cars & Coffee
(Plano) right after they purchased
their SC. Since then, we have had
the opportunity to talk over coffee
and donuts while hanging out with
our cars, either at Porsche Cars &
Coffee or some other impromptu
Saturday morning gathering. So
here is the next in my series of
“conversations” I would like to
share with you . . .
Jan Pieter (Pete) and Willem (Will)
de Waal, owners of a 1982 911SC
and 1989 928, members since 2014
Bill Kruder: So are you guys originally
from Dallas?
Will: Oh no we are from a very
small town in southern Virginia
right near the North Carolina border.
We didn’t move here ‘til about
1981. I was about ten I think.
Pete: We moved around a lot as
our dad was a Navy doctor. Heck,
we lived in I think two or three places
in Texas before we finally settled
here for good.
Will: I guess I’m almost a native;
I went to grammar school
and high school here. I graduated
from Hillcrest High
School and went on to SMU.
Matter of fact, I played football
there. We were the first
team to play after the death
penalty they had received.
BK: So how did the love of
cars start?
Pete: Well my dad was
kind of into them. He really
loved British racecars. One of
his favorite cars he had was a
1958 MGA.
BK: And do you remember it?
Pete: Oh no, this was way
12 December
before us. There’s a funny story
about that car; dad had it when he
was dating our mom. Well, in order
to take her out, he had to take a
chaperone with him. See, this was
in Holland (our parents are Dutch)
and that was the custom I guess. So
he sold the MGA so that he would
have a four door car that he could
take my mom and her mom on
dates. Go figure, right?
BK: So how did you guys get into
Porsches?
Will: Well I guess that goes back
to when I was like in sixth grade.
My mom would get D magazine and
there were these ads for Porsche
and I just marveled at them. So one
day my mom takes me and a friend
to Forest Lane Porsche and drops
us off, and we just hung out there
sitting in the cars.
Pete: For me it was more recent,
in 2013; I had watched an interview
of sorts about Magnus Walker
(www.MagnusWalker911.com)
on CarCast with Adam Carolla
(https://m.youtube.com/watch).
I thought “I’m going to paint the
Miata like his #277 that I had seen
in another show.” Well that lasted
Pete and Will de Waal “sharing” the SC
about ninety seconds, and I thought
these air-cooled cars are where it’s
at, and figured I better get in front
of this tidal wave before its too late.
BK: So how did you guys come to
share the ‘82 SC?
Pete: It really was something that
I decided to look into. I bought a
couple books to read up on them
to just better understand what they
were all about.
BK: So where did you find it?
Pete: I joined PCA as a “quest”
member so that I had access to the
site to look at cars. Guess I knew I
wanted an SC from what I had read
about their durability.
BK: And you found it there?
Pete: No, the funny thing is I
found it in Slipstream of all places.
I was standing in the Ace Hardware
and on the phone with Will and
told him about it. Will thought I
was kind of crazy that they were way
too much money. I told him the
amount and he said he wanted in
on the deal. So the deal was done
we had ourselves a car.
BK: Now how do two guys
share a car?
Will: I guess you would say
we have joint custody [laughing].
I live in Frisco and Pete
in Coppell and we just shuttle
it back and forth from
house to house. For a while
we would even meet at Cars
& Coffee and exchange keys
there. Pete has a 1990 Miata
that is kind of the shuttle car.
BK: Tell me about the car.
Pete: Well we bought it in
August of 2014. It’s a 1982
SC coupe in Pewter Metallic
over black that is pretty much
all stock; it has about 140,000
miles. What we liked about

the car is that it has always been in Texas; believe it
came to Dallas via El Paso.
BK: And Will not only do you share the SC, you have another
yourself now?
Will: I do. About a year ago, in a weak moment
[laughing], I bought a 1989 928 coupe; it’s Stone Gray
over black, has about 90K miles on it.
BK: I understand you guys have names for your cars?
Pete: Yes we do, the SC is Gitta (GIT-tah) which is
Dutch and short for Brigitte.
Will: And the 928 is Hildi (HIL-dah); another Dutch
name.
Once again
I’m amazed at
what you learn
about people
when we take the
time to be interested
enough to
listen. Two brothers,
a car, and one
cool story!

Annual Celebration: Founders’ Day Reboot

Passion. Participation.
Charity. Creativity. Contribution.
History. Tradition.
We have much to celebrate
in the Maverick Region.
And we celebrated it all at the
NYLO Hotel in Las Colinas on Saturday,
November 5. As one of the
region’s great traditions, we get
together each year to commemorate
the founding of the Maverick
Region more than 50 years ago.
The event has some longstanding
customs and some newer activities
that have quickly become member
favorites.
The NYLO was a perfect venue,
with an industrial chic vibe that
allowed us to feel both casual and
festive – plus, it has a great parking
lot. So, of course, the first thing
on the agenda for the evening was
to line up our cars in the reserved
Porsche-only area, and take advantage
of the stunning autumn sunset
lighting for a quick photo session.
Then, inside to the party!
Thanks to our generous sponsor,
Autobahn Porsche, we had drinks,

cocktail buffet including shrimp,
pasta, grilled vegetables, and an assortment
of desserts.

of the contest allowed
us each to pick

And then on to

the best in recent
years – with Porsche

the entries in our third annual

Six categories, and thirty-seven

contribute to their work on behalf
of women and children.

us. Global Lounge meets

us couldn’t help but dance,
just a little.

dancing mood, we celebrated

Christmas at Hope
by Bill Middleton
Editor’s Note: In addition to the support
our club provides to the Huffaker Hughes
Hope House from our Annual Celebration
fund raising, we also are invited to join in
their holiday festivities!
Every year, the Maverick Region joins
with the Hope Shelter staff and clients
to celebrate Christmas out in Mineral
Wells. This celebration is to provide a
happy, fun Christmas for those clients
needing services of the Shelter during
the Holiday season. This is funded in
part by YOUR generous donations to
the Hope Shelter throughout the year.
This year, as a special addition, the
Hope Shelter is celebrating 10 years of
the new facility that the Maverick Region
so generously helped with, taking
it from just a few sketches and a dream
to a real brick and mortar building that
will serve this community for many
years to come. The actual opening and
dedication took place on Christmas Eve
in 2006, and the Christmas party was
held in the new building.
To help celebrate “A Decade of
Hope,” we’d like to invite any and all
interested Mavericks to make the trek
out to Mineral Wells on Saturday, December
17 to join in the festivities as we
share this most special of holidays with
our partners in Hope. You don’t need
to bring anything other than yourselves
and your best Holiday spirits – and we
all hope that you’ll find watching the
festivities brings added joy to your holidays
as you’ve brought to theirs with
your generosity.
Again, the date is Saturday, December
17. The place is the First Presbyterian
Church, 300 NW 4th Street, Mineral
Wells TX 76067. The festivities begin at
noon, and it’s right on an hour drive
from downtown Fort Worth, so plan
accordingly. If anyone would like to
caravan out from the Fort Worth area,
please get in touch with me at wrmiddleton@yahoo.com
and we can discuss
a meeting place and time.
See you there!!

Porsche Works of Art: Maverick Region 2016 Photo Contest
By George Luxbacher, Region Photo Contest Chair
orsche owners enjoy taking pictures of
P
Porsches almost (and I emphasis “almost”)
as much as driving them … and our annual
photo contest has become an eagerly
anticipated event! The contest was held this year in
conjunction with the Annual Celebration at NYLO
Hotel in Irving/Los Colinas on November 5th. Entries
were solicited starting in September and by the contest
deadline we had accepted 37 entries representing work
from 26 photographers (each entrant could submit up
to 2 photos); another 17 entries were rejected primarily
based on photo pixel size – we had a minimum requirement
to justify the not insignificant cost and time
requirements of printing, mounting and display.
We had a distinguished panel of judges, who took the
time to critically review each entry, develop a ranking
and provide detailed comments: our heartfelt thanks
to Charlie Davis, Bill Middleton and Mark Gluck for
this arduous task. All photos were printed on highquality
art photography paper and mounted on foam
core board display. I’m sure that all who attended the
Annual Celebration will agree – the 37 entries on display
were impressive and truly a “Porsche Work of Art”!
There were five (5) categories of photographs as well
as a Grand Prize winner. The categories, award-winning
photographers and their photograph titles were:
Porsche Portraits: Formal portraits of Porsche cars.
Jim Lanter, “When Bruce Says Stop”
Motorsports: Porsche cars in motion involved in driving
events.
Andrew Barber, “997 GTS – Circuit of the Americas”
People: Individuals at PCA events.
Peter Wen, “45-Year-Old Rookie”
Overall Grand Prize and Porsche Portraits Category
Jim Lantner, “When Bruce Says Stop”
Motorsports Category
Andrew Barber, “997 GTS - Circuit of the Americas”
People Category
Peter Wen, “45-Year-Old Rookie”
PCA Experience Category
Linda Bambina, “The Corkscrew to Mt. Rushmore”

The PCA Experience: Photographs that tell us what it
means to be a PCA member.
Linda Bambina, “The Corkscrew to Mt. Rushmore”
Artistic: Photographs manipulated for artistic purposes
by applying digital and/or special effects
Michael Baynton, “Barn Find”
Grand Prize: Jim Lanter, “When Bruce Says Stop”
Those attending the Annual Celebration could vote
for three photos for a People’s Choice Award. The winners
were:
People’s Choice Awards:
Jordan Cole, “Untitled”
Michael Baynton, “Barn Find”
Claudia Hermann, “A Circle of Porsches”
As the contest organizer for this year, I had the first
opportunity to look at all the entries, a task I thoroughly
enjoyed (this offset the disadvantage of being
unable to submit my own photos). Many of the entries
came with the story behind the photograph, adding another
interesting dimension to my task. Unfortunately,
those stories couldn’t go to the judges or the Annual
Celebration display as the risk of detracting from the
photographs; maybe next year we can find a creative
way to include them!
Thanks to all who participated by sending in entries
and the dedicated group of volunteers who made the
contest possible. Among the volunteers in addition to
the judges were Charlie Davis who advised me each
step of the way and did the printing, Dee Luxbacher
who assisted in the mounting and Tracy Robertson who
organized the display at the NYLO Hotel.
Rules for the next contest will go up on the Maverick
Region website in a month or so, including more information
on pixel count with the goal of no rejected entries.
Given the preponderance of cell phone entries
this year (the best camera is the one you have with
you!), we will be creating a separate class for those entries
and reducing the number of or modifying the
categories. Start thinking about your best shots now!

Petrified Porsches: 2nd Annual Halloween Rally
By Cathy Toledo

ore than 60 Porsche enthusiasts
from all over
M
the Metroplex met in
McKinney on October
29 for the annual Halloween Road
Rally, organized by Don Sebert and
George Luxbacher. Though the
warm sunny day was not characteristic
of cooler Halloween weather,
many showed up in costumes to
ward off evil spirits and celebrate
this traditional community-focused
celebration of fall. Creative costumes
included Friar Tuck, the
Red Baron, Daddy’s Little Monster,
a court jester, witches galore, and
Judge Roy Bean.

Clyde robbery was filmed in Pilot
Point, the rural field where ET visited
Texas, and the festival where
Gene Autrey’s ghost could be roaming
in Tioga. The sometimes tricky
route had some ralliers chasing
their tails through back roads and
over dams as they were on the lookout
for spooky spots, abandoned
alleys, and hippie ghosts.
Ralliers were rewarded for their
haunted hunting at their destination,
Fortunata Winery in Aubrey
(https://www.fortunatawinery.
com/). The shaded garden courtyard
was a perfect place to sit for a
Spell and have a Bite with friends,
while indulging in craft wines,
homemade brick oven pizzas, gourmet
cheeses, and cured meats.
Awards were given to the top
three finishers, as well as the DLBF
(Dead Last But Finished), who
should feel encouraged because
they have only one way to go in future
rallies . . . up!
The winners were:
First Place:
Driver Miriam Anderson and
navigator Tom Cundari
Second Place:
Driver BJ Harvey and navigator
John Harvey
Third Place:
Driver Lyssa Dursey and navigator
Josh Egly
(Tom and Jan Martin actually tied
for third, so the standings were determined
by the tiebreaker, elapsed mileage
closest to the official mileage)
The coveted DLBF (Dead Last But

Jose and Ivan Alvarado
Prizes were also awarded for
spooktacular costumes:

We are pleased to reassure our Maverick members
that no divorces were precipitated nor fights instigated

By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair
Photos courtesy of the Author
o far in 2016, forty Porsche drivers have
S
competed in the Autocross program. Ten
came to the tight Burleson Field site October
30 for the Halloween Costumes and
Carstumes event. The Ghostbusters tow car, race car,
and costumed team won the People’s Choice award.
Then an Autocross broke out!
Ten Porsches competed. The
Brian Harnish Boxster took top
Porsche PAX. Fred Stubbs’ Boxster
Spyder just beat Mike Syler’s
late model 911 by 0.075 seconds,
and Sigrid pushed the family 914
to within 0.126 of Mark in a very
close battle. Full results can be
found on the Autocross.com site.

The last event will be November
13 at the terrific Lone Star Park
site. It is a combined Scones and
Coffee event PCA has arranged
and the annual Guns and Hoses Charity event. Many
year-end awards will be determined at this last event.

Around the Bend...
By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
s we speed towards the end of 2016,
A
keep your eyes firmly on the road,
but remember to look ahead since
the racer’s credo always states that
your car will follow your eyes. Let me know if
that helps the next time you’re heading for an
off-road experience!
Many of our
members celebrate
the holidays or the
start of a new year
by considering
gifts to give others.
With that in mind,
I’m sure you are
proud of your Maverick
Region that
provides support
each year to two
charitable organizations:
Huffaker
Hughes Hope
House and the
Boot Campaign.
Please note this invitation
to attend the Hope Christmas Party.
I suppose, in this time of giving, you could also consider
buying yourself or your loved ones a new Porsche
as we reach the end of 2016! Of course that can mean
something other than the real vehicle: a Porsche book,
print, magazine subscription, Lego, Playmobil, Hot
Wheels, electric GT3, wooden first Porsche, etc.
In fact, let me give you a few ideas for your Porsche
shopping - that might keep me from purchasing too
many of these items!
For the art collectors
(I’m not counting Porsche
posters as art, even though
they are very nice!), Guy
Allen has just released a
new print featuring the
SWB 911. This is limited
to 200 prints, so you’ll have to act
quickly. You can find more info
on this one and other car prints
of his at http://guyallen.co.uk/
shop-cars.
If you’re looking for a different perspective on
the Porsche brand in a magazine
subscription, I encourage you to
consider GT Porsche from the U.K.
Not only do they typically get to
test models first on that side of the
pond, the British writing is always
fresh. You can find out more at
http://gtpurelyporsche.com/.
Of course, the number of toy Porsche models released
in the last year is amazing. Everything from a
wooden first Porsche (http://shop4.porsche.com/
usa/kids/toy/) to a first 911 from Playmobil (http://
www.playmobil.us/porsche-911-carrera-s/3911.html)
to a 1000+ piece model from Lego (https://shop.lego.
com/en-US/Porsche-911-GT3-RS-42056) can be yours
for great fun!
And yes, you could always visit our Maverick Region
PCA Store (http://mav.pca.org/store/) as well. With
our new logo now released, you’ll only be able to purchase
items with our original club logo until December
15. I guess the motto is to shop early and often!
Finally, as I’m writing this shortly before
Thanksgiving, in anticipation
of the final month of 2016, it’s
important that I thank the dozens
of members who have contributed
articles, photos, proof-reading,
and so much more to each issue
of Slipstream that lands in your
mailbox every month. You are all
appreciated more than you can
imagine and make our Maverick
Region members more informed
about, and invited to, our many
activities throughout the year.
See you in 2017!
