Fastest way to the longest route. 

Youll be tempted to ignore what the GPS has to offer. Because with 350 horsepower, a top track speed of 177 mph, and a nearperfectly 

balanced chassis, those behind the wheel are too consumed in the curves to be concerned with arrival times. Porsche. 

There is no substitute.

Sprockets: Coming this Spring 

By David Robertson, Region President 

n North Texas, February is always a hard 

I 

month to call as far as weather goes. One 

day I could be sitting by my pool writing 

Sprockets in 75-degree sunny weather as I 

am now, and tomorrow there could be six inches of 

snow and ice on the ground. I for one am always ready 

to go out for a drive in my 911 this time of the year 

whenever there is a good day for it. If you need a good 

excuse to get out, we always have a couple of lunches 

during the month where we meet up, and at least one 

happy hour/dinner. If you follow the various social media 

outlets that we use, you will see from time to time 

impromptu gatherings for coffee, lunch, drinks, or cigars 

-- pretty much anything that gives us a good excuse 

to get together on a nice day. Many of these impromptu 

or even semi-planned gatherings are not Maverick PCA 

sanctioned events, but we just enjoy getting together 

for just about any reason! 

Registration is open for the Spring Treffen in The 

Hill Country. These new Treffens are national multiday 

PCA events (replacing the previous PCA Escapes) 

with driving tours as well as fun non-driving events such 

as winery and brewery visits, a tour of some of the food 

trucks that Austin is so famous for, and other great options. 

The Hill Country Treffen will be held March 29 

through April 2 at the Lost Pines Resort east of Austin. 

The fall Treffen will be in Asheville, NC. 

Coming the last weekend of February is our first big 

driving event which is a Drivers’ Education out at MotorSport 

Ranch. There is also the Carrera of the Americas 

PCA Club Race and Advanced DE sponsored by the 

Maverick, Hill Country, and Lone Star Regions at Circuit 

of The Americas in Austin, March 3-5. This takes 

the place of the previous TWS race. You may notice 

that the Carrera of the Americas event has been moved 

so it doesn’t conflict with Mother’s Day anymore! 

I have been asked a couple of times how I came up 

with the name Sprockets for my column. It certainly 

stands to reason that sprockets come to mind when 

we are discussing any of the Porsche automobiles. In 

the past, you could see them right there on the engine 

performing various tasks. Now when I look behind the 

rear deck lid of a newer 911 there doesn’t even seem 

to be an engine to look at. But, as I reminisce about 

the olden days when Porsches had engines that were 

visible to the naked eye, I also reflect on the old Saturday 

Night Live skit named Sprockets that was a spoof 

on German seriousness, efficiency, and precision, and 

always included a certain monkey. If you are not familiar 

with this particular skit then you need to look it up 

because I cannot explain it to you.

As always, we are looking for volunteers and I am 

certain we can find a place for you. Please contact our 

Volunteer coordinator Jimmy Gallegos at volunteers@ 

mavpca.org. I look forward to seeing all of you at one 

of our great events this month! 

MAV OF THE MONTH: Chris Flaugh 

Chris is one of our relatively recent Maverick members 

who almost immediately looked for a way to get 

more involved and contribute to our club activities. As 

it turned out, we needed someone to chair our Goodie 

Store effort and Chris took on that challenge without 

hesitation. When you order your Maverick name tag, 

that’s Chris who gets the process going and sees that 

your name tag arrives quickly. In addition, he has 

helped move our club store into its use of our new Maverick 

logo and works with PCA on the items available to 

order. His most recent Porsche is a 30-year old extremely 

original red 924S, and he also has a 31-year-old 

Alfa Romeo to keep him busy. Congratulations Chris!

David fell in love with the Porsche 

911 when, as a child, he would have 

his parents stop by the old Forest Lane 

Porsche in Dallas so he could dream of 

someday owning one. He bought his 

first Porsche 911 in 2011. He and his 

wife Tracy enjoy being active members 

in the Maverick Region. 

Jim joined Maverick Region in August, 

2008. He drives a 2003 996, which is 

the third Porsche he has owned. Jim 

enjoys attending Maverick Region 

social and driving events. 

Wendy and husband James joined 

Maverick Region in 1997, when their 

daughter was only 9 months old. 

Jasmine is now in college. They own 

three Porsches including a 1978 911SC 

as a dedicated racecar, which she enjoys 

autocrossing. Her daily driver is a 2016 

Cayman GT4. 

Richard joined Maverick Region in 

2012 when he fulfilled a 30+ year 

dream to own his first (of many) 911, 

a 2009 Silver Carrera! Although fairly 

new to the club, he is excited about 

being more involved and meeting more 

Porsche fanatics!

Gimme a Minute: January Board Meeting 

By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary January 4, 2016 

he meeting began at 

T 

7:01 pm with new President 


explaining he would 

continue the “around the room” 

board meeting format. The Zone 5 

meeting will be held this year Feb. 

17-18 in Grapevine and invited the 

board members. It’s a great opportunity 

to get to know the region 

presidents. He mentioned the upcoming 

joint DEs at COTA with the 

BMW Club in May and November. 

Registration is now open for the 

Treffen Hill Country, taking place 

3/29 - 4/2. Also coming up is our 

All Member Party (AMP) January 

28. He would also like to revive our 

tech sessions, although we don’t 

currently have an event chair. He is 

taking suggestions. Andy Kay will do 

a detailing one. Several mentioned 

ideas to enhance the program. 

Treasurer Richard Solomon 

joined the meeting via speaker 

phone. He is keeping a close tab on 

the financial side and will publish 

the region’s financial statement in 

Slipstream. We have ~$130K in the 

bank currently, which is down slightly 

from last year. There are some 

outstanding invoices needing to be 

collected. Expenses were higher 

this year, mostly attributable to track 

cost increases. 

Guests Leslie and Michael Flores 

have been in the club for 4 - 5 

months. They are looking forward 

to becoming more involved. 

Social Co-Chair Phyllis Gallegos 

has been ill for a few months, but 

is feeling better and looking forward 

to the upcoming AMP. She 

will try very hard to have the entire 

front parking lot areas reserved for 

Porsches only. 

Volunteer Chair Jimmy Gallegos 

is always looking for people to help 

out, even at the AMP (parking, 

check in, etc). He is adding Tech 

Session chair to his list of openings. 


Tours Co-Chair Bill Orr has been 

working on custom PCA license 

plates. We have 291 people who 

registered interest out of the 400 

needed with only a small effort. He 

has worked on updating an interactive 

version of Slipstream. The January 

issue has had 1300 views already. 

Editor Jim Hirsch has been producing 

40 page issues for 12 months 

now, which only features content 

from our members. He is thankful 

for that and hope it continues. He 

is looking for an editor-in-training. 

He reported for Membership Chair 

John Hamilton that we have 1,687 

primary and 860 affiliate members 

for a total of 2,547. 

Autocross Chair Mark Schnoerr 

reported that our program with 

Equipe Rapide will continue for this 

year. The BMW club is also looking 

to share some events with us, including 

the COTA DEs. He wants to 

include links to other AX programs 

from our website to make sure our 

members are informed. The Lone 

Star Park venue has been temporarily 

lost due to a Cirque du Soleil 

show and they are looking for other 

sites. He might want to try to do another 

Time Trial at MSR on the 1.3 

mile course. 

Drivers’ Education Chair Chris 

Tabor is beginning his fourth year 

in that position. He thinks that the 

joint region and joint club events at 

COTA will be a great opportunity 

for all. The DE dates for the year are 

set. He mentioned the possibility of 

a Track Night and maybe incorporating 

a Time Trial event with a DE. 

Will visit other events to get ideas. 

Rally Chair Don Sebert is glad 

to have help from several others, 

including George Luxbacher, John 

Harvey, and Jeff Sebert. Two rallies 

have been set for the year and might 

do one more. He will have information 

by the All Member Party and 

will submit it to the online calendar. 

New Vice President Jim Falgout 

said that he has insurance handled 

for events coming up. 

Club Race Registrar Wendy Shoffit 

mentioned we had a great Club 

Race, despite lower than normal 

turnout. We still have some Yeti 

mugs for sale, if board members or 

others are interested. 

Webmaster James Shoffit said we 

have been making improvements to 

the website. He requested calendar 

changes be emailed to calendar@ 

mavpca.org to make sure all parties 

got the information needed. 

He questioned if the lunch in Richardson 

was still getting attendees; 

the answer seems to be “not many.” 

Maybe need to cancel that one? 

Calendar Chair Karl Poulsen also 

reiterated James’ request. He is doing 

his best to keep up with requests 

as they come up. 

Monthly Social Chair Stephanie 

Ho has the February Valentine’s 

event set for Lavendou Restaurant 

in Plano on Thursday, February 

9, rather than the normal week. It 

might be the last year at the venue. 

Slipstream Content Editor and 

Punctuation Czar Carey Spreen 

mentioned that the digitizing of 

all past issues might take a year to 

complete, according to UNT. He 

also interviewed Al Zim for his 50th 

Anniversary this month and will interview 

Ed Mayo for his 50th next 

month. 

Tour Chair Tom Martin reported 

that we had five events last year. The 

largest had 111 Porsches and 183 

people in attendance. Events averaged 

70 cars and 114 people. He 

commented that the updated mav. 

pca.org website is fantastic and recommends 

we all visit it. He is stepping 

down to allow Bill Orr to take 

the reins this year. 

Guest Dan Amado has been 

in PCA for 25 years, mostly in the 

northeast, but has been a Maverick

since 2010. He has been a DE instructor now for a few 

years and is looking forward to getting more involved. 

Safety Chair Bob Kramer is working to make offroad 

excursions at DE events safer by insisting on car 

inspections afterwards. He plans to utilize Doghouse 

Performance at the track to help in this endeavor. 

Social Chair Tracy Robertson asked to make sure 

that everyone RSVPs for board meetings, even if they 

don’t plan to eat. Seating and beverages need to be considered. 

She’s working with Phyllis for the All Member 

Party and is preparing for event chair presentations. 

David Robertson finished by saying he is always looking 

for questions or ideas to his email address. Lastly, 

he announced that Goodie Store Chair Chris Flaugh is 

the Maverick of the Month. Congratulations!

Historicizing Porsche: Ferdinand’s Earliest Innovations 

By Ash Seidl-Staley 

Photos contributed as noted 

orsche has an amazing history. For over 118 

P 

years, developments and innovations from 

the Porsche brand, the Porsche business, 

and the Porsche family have posited many 

firsts. 

In 1899 Ferdinand Porsche built the world’s first 

hybrid electric vehicle (the Lohner-Porsche, “Semper 

Vivus”). Twenty years later, and after realizing size and 

speed correlate, Ferdinand worked with Austro-Daimler 

developing race cars. One such petite car dubbed 

“Sascha,” though out-sized and out-powered by the 

competition, garnered a miraculous success. It won 43 

races in its career, including the 1922 Targa Florio! 

By 1939, Ferdinand had 

launched Volkswagen and 

already become a leader 

in the German automobile 

industry. He continued his 

drive for innovation by designing 

the Mercedes-Benz 

type 80. The project had 

high hopes of achieving 

a land speed of over 470

mph, a speed that would 

have shattered all records 

at the time and wouldn’t 

be realized until the late 1950s, but the start of World 

War II crushed the project. Ferdinand also designed 

racing cars for Auto Union. The Auto Union P (the P 

designating Porsche’s involvement) was powered by a 

16-cylinder behemoth and was driven by two of racing’s 

greatest drivers, Hans Stuck and Tazio Nuvolari. 

The war temporarily halted Ferdinand’s infatuation 

with racing, but his inventive gene continued to 

flourish. In 1942 he helped design the VK4501 tank, 

aka the Tiger P. Although production of the tank was 

never picked up by the German military, some chassis 

(roughly ninety of them) were converted into anti-tank 

guns in 1943 and renamed the PanzerJäger Tiger P, 

or Ferdinand for short. Throughout his early career, 

Ferdinand proved how effective he was at pushing the 

limits of technological advancement on automobiles 

and military transportation. 

I bring up Ferdinand’s past innovations not to connect 

him to the political and social atmosphere of the 

time, though future articles might as his story is fascinating, 

but to reveal another first that hits home with 

me, this time by his son Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche. 

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; Ferry 

Porsche proves this point. In 1948 Ferry developed 

Porsche’s first roadgoing sports car, and I bet you can 

Porsche 356/1 Roadster

guess what it was: the 356! But a little known fact, or 

at least overlooked, is that the prototype for the 356, 

dubbed the 356/1, actually possessed an engine that 

was mounted behind the driver, but in front of the 

rear axle. That’s right Mavs -- Porsche’s first 356 had 

a mid-engine! The two-door roadster had a wheelbase 

of 82.7 inches, a width of 65.4 inches, and weighed a 

mere 1,290 lbs. Ferry propelled his innovation with the 

air-cooled 1.1L Type 369 flat four. The spirited little 

vehicle produced a humble 40 bhp and derived most 

of its mechanical and suspension parts from the VW 

Beetle. The public became infatuated with the iconic 

body style that was designed by Erwin Komenda, and 

Porsche continued to produce the vehicle, only altering 

the position of the engine to behind the rear axle 

to save money, and to open up space for two additional 

seats. 

The history and physical location of the unique 

and groundbreaking 356/1, as many Mavs have seen 

upfront, is housed at Porsche’s museum in Stuttgart. 

One day, I will be lucky enough to see it, and bask in its 

glory. Until then I have my Porsche books, my Porsche 

gossip, and my Porsche projects. I told you 2017 was 

going to be a phenomenal year! As always . . . wrench 

on Mavs!

Kruder’s Cars & Conversations 

By Debi Gibson, 914 Passenger 

Photos courtesy of the Author 

o what’s a Kitzbuhel? 

S 

Read on to find out! 

Well, most weekends 

I’m asked that about 

my newest 914 that putts along in 

true 70s style. Debi is typically in 

the passenger seat all bundled up, 

enjoying the nostalgia of the old 

radio and its vintage charm. So 

this month, she asked if she could 

interview the guy behind the wheel 

and the author of the monthly 

Kruder’s Cars and Conversations. 

So here it goes -- we are putting this 

month’s conversation in “reverse.” 

The story as heard and narrated by 

Debi Gibson . . . 

Bill Kruder, owner 1971 914/4 and 

1982 911SC, member since 1996 


Debi Gibson: So it’s clear to most 

how much you enjoy hanging with your 

Porsches looking for any excuse to pick 

up a box of donuts and hang with your 

car and friends. When did you first realize 

you had a passion for cars? 

Bill Kruder: Well, my oldest sister 

Sharon and husband Bill had a 

‘68 Tangerine 912 when I was 17. 

She used to take me out in it, and 

one day she actually let me drive 

it. I never forgot it! Guess it kinda 

stuck. 

It really got me into owning 

sports cars . . . Fiats to MGs to VW’s. 

I had a special love though for German 

cars. 

DG: Fitting with the last name 

Kruder! When did your first Porsche 

enter the story? 

BK: It wasn’t until we moved 

here to Dallas in 1994 that I decided 

it was time to own my dream car. 

In 1995 I did months of research 

on which Porsche to own and I decided 

on the ’82 911SC Coupe. 

DG: What’s so special about that 

one? 

BK: Well the SCs are really 

known to have strong engines. I really 

like the color Platinum because 

they aren’t as common, you don’t 

see a lot out there. It was important 

to me that the car I owned was all 

original too, and she was. I found a 

two-owner car in Hot Springs, AR, 

in the Dallas Morning Newspaper 

in the Classifieds. After Fed Ex pictures 

went back and forth (before 

iPhones of course) I purchased a 

one-way ticket to Arkansas, had the 

car checked out, and drove it five 

hours home. 

DG: What did your friends and family 

think? 

BK: They thought I was a little 

crazy. “Why would you want such 

an old car to be your daily driver?” 

It just kinda fulfilled a boyhood 

dream. Having just moved from 

Chicago after 20 years, it was nice 

to drive back and forth to work and 

have it waiting for me in the garage. 

DG: I know you retired from JC Penney 

after nearly 40 years with the company. 

So you parked it every day in their 

garage? I bet you got some looks and 

comments with the coupe parked there. 

BK: Oh Yeah, I did! No one 

could believe it and it sparked a lot 

of cool conversations. 

DG: So tell us about your latest find? 

How did you pick your second Porsche? 

BK: I always loved the 914 for its 

quirkiness, and when I first started 

with JC Penney there were two guys 

that had them. I thought it would 

be cool to own one! 

DG: So how did you find “the one”? 

BK: Well we started looking for 

it in August of last year and found 

one up in Indiana. I had an offer 

drafted, but a couple things didn’t 

sit right, and the owner was kinda 

dragging his feet. So one Saturday 

morning after Porsche Cars and 

Coffee, Robert, Peter, Greg and I 

(some of our local Mavericks) decided 

to make a trip to a local cigar 

shop and the story really began! 

Hunting for the 914 over cigars 

DG: Oh, trust me, I remember that 

Saturday well. 

BK: Well we sat down talking and 

Robert started looking on eBay. 

He was flipping through the listings 

and discovered this car right 

here in DFW, all original, and what 

sealed the deal for me was that it 

had the original delivery and service 

documents from Hagestad’s 

Porsche Dealership in Denver! 

DG: And why was that so important? 

BK: If you’ll remember just 

months earlier I had written my first 

“Kruders Cars and Conversations” 

on Bob Hagestad himself. He’s the 

longest running member of PCA in 

Maverick Region. I learned from 

that interview that Bob and his dad 

had opened up VW and Porsche 

stores in Denver along with a lot of 

other cool stories. We really developed 

a connection from that, and 

like with all my articles, the people 

I meet become friends. 

DG: So you bid on a car on eBay 

then?! I still can’t believe it. 

BK: Yes! The bidding began that 

morning . . . it wasn’t until 8 hours 

later that I “owned” Bob Hagestad’s 

car. It was quite a day! Four guys 

staring at their iPhones, cigars in 

hand, like expecting fathers. 

DG: So what are some of the characteristics 

you love about this particular 

914? 

BK: Well the fact that the car 

was a special order. Of all things, 

you couldn’t purchase a black

914. It had 

to be special 

ordered 

including 

chrome 

“steelie” 

wheels. Another 

fun 

fact is that 

when the 

original 

owner took 

Bill, Bob, and the 914 

delivery of 

the car he realized it didn’t have a 

Porsche badge on the front hood. 

He told Bob that unless it had the 

badge he wasn’t taking possession 

of the car. So Bob, as a “dealer installed 

option,” complied by putting 

a Porsche badge on the car for 

him. The 914/4s were badgeless so 

that in itself makes this one unique. 

DG: So let’s get back to this Kitzbuhel 

then. What is that about? 

BK: Well, turns out the first 

owner, when he took delivery in 

November of 1970, and being from 

Austria, put that tag on the car in 

remembrance of his home town. 

What’s really cool is that I’ve actually 

spoken to him. I found through 

the records his phone number and 

gave him a call. He was in disbelief 

that I now owned his car with the 

emblem he added still intact. 

DG: I know you instigate a lot of car 

gatherings; barely a weekend passes by 

without an outing. What prompts your 

outings? 

BK: Well about a year ago I got 

involved in the monthly Porsche 

Cars and Coffee and then realized 

that most other Saturdays we all 

are looking for a good excuse to 

get out in our cars. So we started 

“impromptu” gatherings that usually 

consist of a “meet the new car” 

that someone has added to their 

garage, or heck, it might just be 

that someone bought new tires; it 

doesn’t take much with this group. 

It’s typically 15 to 20 cars gathering 

together just over the fact we love 

our Porsches. We make new connections, 

share fun facts, and just 

enjoy hanging with our cars. 

DG: Well I think you have a “ministry” 

of sorts! Connecting people and 

their cars! 

BK: I enjoy it! The provenance 

of the car is personal . . . mine is 

from Bob’s dealership, others hold 

childhood nostalgia, or someone 

else has a color that is rare. Ultimately 

though, it’s about the person 

and their personal connection 

with their car. It’s true that a car is 

an extension of a personality and a 

history. It’s the real story. 

So there you have it folks, the 

story behind the man who arrives 

early to put the cones out, writes 

the monthly article, posts the numerous 

pics on Facebook, and is 

always finding an excuse to gather 

friends and their cars together at 

the next cool coffee spot: “Kruder,” 

aka the Donut Guy.

Maverick Region 2017 Autocross (AX) Events 

By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair 

utocross is a very fun and popular nationwide 

form of motorsports that emphasizes 

A 

safe competition and active participation. 

Participants, ranging from novices, significant 

others, and the highly experienced, can drive their 

car (multiple drivers allowed) and manage a support 

role to assist in running the event. Autocross differs 

from track-based events in that there is generally only 

one car on a section of the course at a time, spaced well 

apart from other cars, and driving against the clock at 

speeds generally below 60 mph, rather than at high 

speeds with other cars in close proximity, as in Drivers’ 

Education, or true wheel-to-wheel competition, as in 

Club Racing. 

The Maverick Autocross program is a low risk way to 

get started in competition driving almost any car. Our 

region puts on events in collaboration with the very 

well-run Equipe Rapide Sports Car Club (autocross. 

com) in 2017 at sites like the Burleson ISD Stadium 

lot (first event, February 26), Mesquite Memorial Stadium, 

and Mineral Wells Airpark (about 40 miles west of 

Fort Worth). It is an excellent way to learn car control 

expertise that will improve your overall driving skill. 

You will quickly learn about proper seating position, 

looking ahead, threshold braking, and precise car control, 

while you try to execute a perfect lap on a pylonmarked 

course where you will be timed to the thousandth 

of a second. There is a two-second time penalty 

for every pylon knocked over, so quick, clean, and neat 

driving matters. Unless 

you do something very 

unusual, the only risk 

to your car is contact 

with a rubber cone that 

can be easily cleaned 

off. 

Many participants 

have used autocross as 

a steppingstone to DE 

or Club Racing. Some 

very fast and wellknown 

road racers got 

their start in autocross. 

Some drivers still autocross 

after moving up 

to those other higherrisk 

activities or move 

on to National caliber 

PCA Parade or SCCA 

competition. 

Most drivers can navigate the whole course after just 

one shift to second gear. The next 60 to 80 seconds 

are such a rush that some drivers barely take time to 

breathe. You do this six to eight times after just walking 

the unique course found at each event. The rest of the 

day you will meet lots of interesting people, take a shift 

running part of the event from registration, tech, or 

corner station duty, and enjoy an exciting assortment 

of interesting cars at speed. These are very social events 

where ride-along opportunities and in-car instruction 

will help you enjoy the experience. 

Although there are many classes at these combined 

events with Equipe Rapide, Porsche Club entrants can 

run in the Small Region classes, as specified in the PCA 

Parade Competition Rules (PCRs), at these events. For 

2017 these include three fully showroom stock classes 

for completely stock 1990 and later Porsches (including 

your Cayenne, Panamera, or Macan!), four classes 

for all pre-1990 and lightly modified later model cars, 

and special classes for the fastest prepared or modified 

Porsches. 

Registration is available on line or on site. Arrive 

about 8 am and bring a lunch or snacks with you, since 

lunch breaks are not always scheduled. After tech inspection, 

walk the course or do so with the formal novice 

walk-through for some additional insights. Cars 

start running about 10 am and awards are presented 

about 4 pm. Join us for a safe and fun way to learn the 

limits of your Porsche!

Golden Anniversary: Al Zim’s 50 years with Maverick Region 

As told to Carey Spreen 


r. Zim (you can call him 

M 

Al) was always interested 

in cars. His first heartthrob 

was a 1958 Volvo 

PV444. Soon his parents bought 

him a two-year-old Volvo. Eventually, 

“work” on the Volvo was necessary. Al 

was attending Wilmington College 

in Ohio, and there was one sports 

car shop in Wilmington, which Al 

frequented for parts and advice. 

He spent many days in the parking 

lot “fixing” things that should have 

been left alone. At the start of his 

sophomore year, he convinced the 

sports car shop owner to hire him. 

The shop could be considered a 

“hole in the wall,” but was one of the 

few shops that catered to Porsches. 

Although Al was enamored with Austin-Healeys, 

he was often reminded 

that Porsche was the only way to 

travel. He soon acquired a Speedster 

and an SCCA competition license 

at the Nelson Ledges racetrack. He 

drove it to the track, put in four 

hours of racing, and drove back, all 

on Blue Streak race tires. 

Al and Ed circa 1976 

In September he began a Masters 

program at Miami University in Oxford, 

Ohio. He used the Volvo as a 

tow car and the Speedster as a race 

car, but also had a home-built Formula 

V and a 1956 Porsche-powered 

VW. With no place to work on the 

cars, the racing program sputtered 

to a halt, and he had sold them by 

graduation 1966. 

Newly married, Al was accepted 

into a PhD program at North Texas 

State University (now UNT), and 

joined Maverick Region. Al recalled 

that first Maverick meeting, where 

everyone present except Al (and 

one other person) were wearing 

sport jackets. He was asked to sit 

in the back of the room. Not an 

auspicious beginning, but he hung 

in there! 

Ed Mayo, whom Al had met at 

college in 1960, was teaching high 

school auto shop in Cleveland when 

Al invited him to Texas to visit. 

When Ed arrived in late fall, he was 

amazed at the layers of clothing 

that he no longer needed. He was 

also amazed at Al’s rust-free 1958 

Speedster. “$750.00 is what I paid 

for it -- you can have it for that,” said 

Al. Ed drove the Speedster back to 

Cleveland, where it was 22 degrees. 

Within a year Ed had moved to Texas, 

joining Maverick Region in 1967. 

But that’s another story . . . 

Al was now an Associate Professor 

at Tarrant County Junior College, 

now known as Tarrant County College. 

Ed worked as a mechanic at 

the local Porsche dealerships. They 

began to work on Porsches together 

in Al’s detached garage. 

At one point they heard about 

a 550 Spyder (550-047) for sale for 

$1500.00 in Arlington. 

Al purchased the car, 

and before he even 

drove it, Bill Jones 

(Jones Autowerks) 

bought it for $1600.00. 

Turns out that it had 

placed sixth at the 1955 

24 Heures du Mans, 

driven by Glockler and 

Juhan, and Carroll 

Shelby’s name was even 

on the Texas title. A 

seven-figure retirement 

program had slipped 

through his fingers. 

Al in his current office at 

Zims Autotechnik 

Their shade tree work continued 

until 1974, when one of Al’s neighbors 

complained that they were 

illegally running a business from a 

residence. The result was a new location 

in Euless that had formerly 

processed chickens, and POR-SHA 

was born. 

Unfortunately, Porsche AG did 

not appreciate the use of such a 

similar name. Federal legal action 

ensued, with the judge’s statement 

that if the sign was not off the building 

by Monday morning, Al would 

be in federal prison. To this day 

neither Al nor Ed can legally use 

the word POR-SHA. With a move to 

Bedford in 1979, the doors opened 

as “Zim and Mayo.” Later, Zims 

Autotechnik signified the separation 

of Ed and Al. 

A meeting at Zims in 1988 

resulted in the Tub Club, a 356 

organization. Al recalls that, when 

naming the group, there was some 

concern that “Tub Club” might be 

confused with a seedy Dallas location 

which rented hot tubs by the hour. 

Fortunately, the name prevailed 

and the hot tub rentals did not. The 

Tub Club has about 80 members 

currently. 

Al owns a 1957 356A coupe, a 

1961 356B coupe, a 1985 491 widebody 

Carrera coupe, a 1986 491 

widebody Carrera 

Cabriolet, and twin 

1988 G50 Carreras, a 

coupe and a cabriolet. 

Al tends to keep a low 

profile so we don’t get 

to see him very much, 

but when we do, there 

is always a story. 

So, congratulations 

Al, on achieving an 

impressive milestone 

with Maverick Region. 

We are honored to be 

able to count you as 

one of our own. 


PCA Tours – A 2017 Overview 

By Tom Martin, Region PCA Tour Co-Chair 

he Maverick PCA Tours program enjoys a 

T 

long, varied, and colorful history throughout 

the 50+ years of the Club. The purpose 

of the Tours program is to provide members 

with a suitable environment to explore the limits of 

their Porsche in a non-controlled environment, within 

the limits of the law. 

Tours were held sporadically during the early years 

of the Club, but in 1971, past President Charlie Davis 

created and conducted the first of many Tours to 

Eureka Springs in Arkansas. Unfortunately, they were 

characterized by major accidents. A couple of drivers 

and cars were simply not capable. In 1980, the Tour was 

made a non-official event and only drivers who could 

safely drive 1100 “spirited” miles in 2.5 days were invited! 

It continued as an invitation-only event until about 

1985, when tourists became a major issue. By that time, 

Eureka Springs had turned into a mini-Branson and 

lost much of its charm, and Highway 1 in southeast 

Oklahoma became polluted with RVs. 

The Club continued to conduct several Tours to 

the Hill Country and East Texas. Most were multi-day 

events. In the ensuing years, thanks to a long line of 

Tourmeisters, the PCA Tours program has evolved 

into what it is today. Tours run between 60-100 miles 

in length, and are completed in a few hours on a weekend. 

End destinations usually incorporate a suitable 

dining venue, and wine is almost always involved. Go 

figure. Major accidents are a thing of the past, possibly 

because of increased driver skill, but more likely due to 

the advanced electronic driver aids that Porsche incorporates 

into their vehicles. 

For the 2017 season, we have assembled five Tours 

that we hope will afford Mavericks the chance to stretch 

their Porsche’s “legs” and showcase some interesting 

roads and destinations. They include locales such as the 

Mitas Hill Vineyard in McKinney, the Ennis Bluebonnet 

Tour, Fortunata Winery in Aubrey, Lantana Lodge 

in Pilot Point, and even MotorSport Ranch, where we 

will be doing parade laps on their most excellent road 

course. The schedule appears on the Maverick website 

and also directly below. 

Stay tuned to Slipstream for “PCA Tour Previews,” 

and the Maverick website to receive all the latest details 

and updates on the PCA Tours. Hope to see you all 

sometime on a Tour!

Personal Experience: Buying a Porsche Online 

By Peter Wen 


ad, are you looking to 

D 

buy another Porsche?” 

asked my son. “No, I 

am just looking,” I replied 

offhandedly as I continued 

to browse the internet ads. I understood 

where he was coming from, 

however. Like many of you, I have 

spent hours online just to look and 

to dream. Well, that dream became 

reality on December 5 last year as 

I took delivery of my 2011 997.2 

Turbo S Cabriolet. 

“One of One” is now residing in Dallas 

I found her on Porsche.com. 

I named her “One of One,” partially 

a tribute to the “Seven of 

Nine” character for you Trekkies. 

She lived in Palm Beach, but was 

offered for sale in Buffalo, NY. A 

truly unique 911, it left Stuttgart 

with both paint-to-sample Polar 

Silver exterior and Lipstick Red interior. 

Her previous owner wanted 

to create a one-of-a-kind 911. The 

extensive option package included 

carbon-fiber trim and some highly 

unusual leather-covered items, 

such as the rearview mirror, fuse 

box panel, and vent slats! Leather 

vent slats sealed the deal for me. I 

was sold on this beauty! She is One 

of One. 

One of One had extensive service 

records from the dealership. 

All major and minor maintenance 

had been completed. To be 100% 


certain, I scheduled an independent 

PPI (pre-purchase inspection). 

After all, I was about to make 

this major purchase sight-unseen. 

Niagara Region PCA members 

were eager to help. They recommended 

the PPI shop as well as offered 

to conduct a visual inspection 

in my absence. PPI did uncover a 

small coolant leak and some minor 

cosmetic flaws that I used in my 

negotiation. The DME report was 

clean with no over-rev history. To 

transport One of One 

back home to Dallas, I 

relied on fellow Mavs. 

A quick Facebook post 

produced several solid 

recommendations. The 

journey took about two 

days. It was delivered 

without incident in an 

enclosed carrier. 

As expected, to reach 

my dream, sacrifices had 

to be made. In this case, it 

was my beloved Cayman, 

my first Porsche. I used 

dealership trade-in offers, and websites 

like kbb.com and autotrader. 

com, to determine my sales price. 

I posted it on the Mav Facebook 

page, PCA classifieds, and Craigslist. 

With detailed descriptions 

and great pictures, it was sold in six 

days. Frankly, I was not ready for it. 

So sudden, I didn’t have a chance 

to say goodbye. 

Unique interior options 

abound! 

It has been a month and 800 

miles since One of One arrived in 

Dallas. It has been a blast to show 

her off to family and friends. She 

is everything I thought a Turbo 

would be and more. It’s a car with 

split personalities. It’s a great daily 

driver with ride comfort and modern 

conveniences. However, with 

the Sport Plus mode engaged and a 

bit more right foot pressure, a beast 

emerges from under the sheepskin. 

I can’t help it but to grin ear to ear. 

This was a dream fulfilled. Spring 

driving season will be upon us soon. 

See you out there, Mavs! 

Top down no matter how cold! 

Author’s note: 

Expand your dream car search: 

Porsche.com pre-owned section is an 

excellent place to begin your search for 

newer (993, 996, 997, 991) Porsches. 

The powerful Car Locator tool gives 

you access to Porsche inventory from 

U.S. dealerships. Other great sites are 

Autotrader.com, eBay, and our own 

mav.pca.org and Slipstream classifieds, 

along with pca.org classifieds! 

Surprisingly, Craigslist is a good 

place to sell your P-cars. The posts are 

picked up by many third-party websites 

and reposted. Your ad there will reach 

a national audience. Be sure to take 

detailed, close-up photos of your interior, 

especially the buttons, seats, and wheels. 

Lastly, PCA is full of helpful and 

knowledgeable folks. It’s a great resource 

to keep in mind. Dream on, Mavs!

Santa Boots: Maverick Region’s Work with the Boot Campaign 

By Boot Campaign Staff 

Photo courtesy of the Boot Campaign 

or more than half a 

F 

century the Maverick 

Region of the Porsche 

Club of America has 

been driving friendships and 

spreading good will to the Dallas/ 

Fort Worth Metroplex. During the 

2016 holiday season that effort was 

expanded to 60 new families when 

the Maverick’s joined military nonprofit 

Boot Campaign as a sponsor 

in its heralded Santa Boots outreach 

program. 

Providing Christmas gifts is often 

a challenge for service families 

with financial difficulties, and Boot 

Campaign developed the Santa 

Boots program to join with other 

patriots to relieve some of that holiday 

stress while showing continued 

support from our grateful nation. 

Each year, veteran and active 

duty families are nominated by the 

Boot Campaign network to receive 

Santa Boots gift packages. Items 

are wrapped and tagged by Boot 

Campaign Elves, noting the gifts’ 

donors on the tag, and placed in 

personalized family boxes with a 

heartfelt note of gratitude from 

Boot Campaign. There are 20 to 

30 amazing gifts per family box, including 

multiple WOW-type gifts to 

add to the excitement, and they are 

Boot Campaign family box 

delivered as a SURPRISE just days 

before Christmas. 

Santa Boots gifts are collected 

from patriotic families, businesses 

and organization from across the 

country, like PCA’s Maverick Region, 

which generously sponsored 

funds to purchase special Cinemark 

Movie bundles to bless 60 recipient 

families. 

The Mavericks’ donation was 

customized to each box based on 

family size, so the entire family 

could have a free night out at the 

movies that included food concessions 

for each family member. 

“The Maverick Region of PCA 

was excited about the opportunity 

to play a role in financially supporting 

the Boot Campaign’s Santa 

Boots program during Christmas 

2016,” reflects Richard Solomon, 

the Region Treasurer. “Many of our 

members are veterans, so we were 

especially proud of what this program 

did to touch the lives of our 

American heroes.” 

Boot Campaign’s annual Santa 

Boots outreach campaign was developed 

in 2015 by the five founding 

“Boot Girls” of Boot Campaign 

as a holiday program that the military 

non-profit charity’s volunteers 

and sponsors could get actively involved 

with. 

“Santa Boots is such a terrific way 

of connecting civilian Americans 

to the brave men and women who 

served, and is our small way of making 

sure they feel appreciated for 

their service and sacrifice at a time 

of year when many feel stretched 

financially,” says Sherri Reuland, 

Boot Campaign Board Member 

and one of the Boot Campaign’s 

five founding Boot Girls. 

“We are so thankful to have 

dedicated and generous program 

partners like Maverick Region, who 

have taken a leap of faith with us 

in Santa Boots to spread holiday 

cheer to those deserving families in 

the Dallas-Ft. Worth area,” adds Reuland. 

“The Santa Boots program 

does as much for the heart of those 

who participate in preparing these 

family gift boxes as it does for those 

who receive them.” 

Big smiles not only come to the 

recipients but also to Boot Campaign 

Elves, who wrap and customize 

the family gift boxes based on 

a family profile with “just the right 

touch.” The Elves then deliver the 

“surprise” personally to Santa Boots 

families for a hard-to-match experience 

of the season. 

“Santa Boots is about more than 

Christmas gifts or patriotism to 

me,” says Pamela Hughes, a Boot 

Campaign Elf. “Santa Boots lets 

me bring love and hope to families 

during a time that may be difficult. 

When they receive a box, you can 

see that it’s like they are overwhelmed 

with a sense of hope and 

knowing that people care more 

than they knew.” 

Adds Sgt. First Class Nurse (Ret.) 

Cassandra Cantin, U.S. Army, a 

Boot Campaign Hero Ambassador 

and Elf: “This experience has truly 

changed my life as well as the lives of 

so many veterans and their families. 

It’s one thing to hear someone say 

‘thank you for your service,’ but it’s 

a whole different ball game when 

someone says it and then shows 

up with this big box of thanks. It 

shows that not only do you matter 

for showing what you are willing to 

sacrifice, but your family matters 

and we are thinking about you all.” 

“We are thrilled and honored to 

have the Boot Campaign as one of 

only two charities we support 

through our club activities,” concludes 

Solomon. “We look forward 

to future events we can partner 

with the Boot Campaign to support 

our military veterans and active 

duty service men and women.”

2016 Maverick Region Financial Statement 

By Richard Solomon, Region Treasurer 

he 2016 financials for 

T 

the Maverick Region 

of Porsche Club of 

America 7:55 have AMbeen included 

in this month’s 01/07/17 magazine 

Net Revenue or Cost 

MAVERICK REGION PCA 

for transparency to Cash our Basis members 

January through December 2016 

of all club activities. It is important 

to all of us on this Board to be 

good stewards of what we are given 

to further expand our club, but to 

also further the brand of Porsche 

Club of America and Porsche. 

2016 results reflected a net 

cost to the club of $9,755, which 

is a decline as compared to 2015. 

This is attributable to higher track 

expenses related to our Driver 

Education programs and planned 

excess costs towards club-wide 

events. Also, the timing for receipt 

of certain sponsorships and advertising 

income contributed to this 

position. Lastly, we are proud to 

mention that through the generosity 

of our club members and by decision 

of the Board, we were able 

to provide direct financial support 

to two region charities totaling 

$18,095. So, Thank You! 

In conclusion, despite these results, 

the club remains on strong 

financial footing to meet the needs 

of its members and the charities 

we support. We will continue to 

work to improve your club experience 

while maintaining the integrity 

of our financial charge.

Around the Bend... 

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor 

riving Friendships! By the time you’re reading 

this, I hope you’ve been able to keep at 

D 

least one of your 2017 New Year resolutions! 

The one I’m most interested in is driving 

your Porsche as often as possible and participating in 

at least one new Maverick Region driving event this 

year to meet your fellow club members. 

The club’s tagline, “Driving Friendships”, is a 

mindset that I hope all Maverick 

members can embrace in 

becoming an active club 

participant of the Maverick 

Region. You’ve got a sports car 

for all seasons at your disposal 

and lots of potential new 

friendships with members of 

our club, so putting that tagline 

into action should be of high 

interest to each of you. 

Going a bit further with my ongoing reminders for 

our members to drive our German engineering marvels 

as frequently as possible, perhaps author Dwight 

Knowlton and his mantra of “Carpe Viam” is one you 

should adopt for 2017. The literal translation of that is 

“Seize the Road”. Now that is a proper call to action 

for all of our Maverick Region Porsche owners! 

For all of our members who may need some help in 

determining how best to “seize the road”, look no further 

than the contents of this issue. In fact, the cover 

photo this month highlights how many of our driving 

events have a very visible starting point. Begin with the 

club calendar on page 1. You’ll find a complete 

listing of all club events for the next four 

months here. Of course, also check the online 

calendar on our web site at mav.pca.org for 

any last minute schedule changes. 

Next, check page 10. You’ll find information on 

the PCA Spring Treffen held in our own Hill Country, 

Fiesta New Mexico held in our neighboring Roadrunner 

Region, and the schedule of our monthly Maverick 

lunches. These are great driving opportunities to meet 

many like-minded Porsche owners. 

On page 14, our first Drivers’ Education event at 

MSR is highlighted. Participate on the track or come 

out and spectate - all members are welcome! Page 17 

provides our season Autocross overview and schedule - 

the most fun you can have in 60 seconds! 

Information on our PCA Tour events, which feature 

tremendous roads and great destinations, is found on 

page 19. The upcoming Club Race/Solo DE at COTA 

is highlighted on page 28. You can even find info on 

PCA license plates for your Porsche on page 14. 

Finally, our club event chairs are member volunteers 

devoted to ensuring that you enjoy your Porsche to the 

ultimate degree possible. Please review page 4 to get to 

know these important volunteers and say “thank you” 

the next time you see them in appreciation for their 

efforts on all of our behalf. In particular, Bob Kramer 

is one of our two new Safety Co-Chairs and has already 

begun helping new DE participants get tech inspections 

completed. 

Bob shared that Doghouse Performance is a new 

vendor located on site at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson. 

They have let Bob know that they will provide tech 

inspections free of charge to Maverick DE participants. 

You can contact them at 817-396-4211. Of course, your
