Sprockets: How to Fill Garage Space
By David Robertson, Region President
his month our third of three garage spaces
T
has been occupied by a new automobile. I
have been saving this space for an early ‘80s
911 SC Cabriolet complete with that iconic
whale tail, or a Boxster that my wife has been wanting
for a few years now. I could also imagine an ‘80s 911
Targa or even a new Macan in the spot. This space
has mostly been storage for certain yard implements
and a few unfinished projects in anticipation of that
day when the new addition arrives, to sit under the appropriate
wall art that has been specially ordered and
displayed next to the gloriously engineered machine.
Well, rather unceremoniously my wife’s employer issued
her a company car and, as they say, that is that.
Did I mention that we have two automobiles already,
and only one of them is a Porsche? Don’t get me wrong:
I am extremely thankful and blessed to have a house,
a Porsche, and a garage to begin with, and this is certainly
the granddaddy of first-world problems to face,
but it is a dilemma nonetheless. I have covered all the
options in my head, from putting in a lift, to adding on
to the garage, or just buying a new house. There is also
the option of purchasing a car condo that I could build
out to my specs (hint: these condos are advertised in
Slipstream). The last option usually encourages even
more car collecting, as space is no longer an issue. For
one reason or another, none of these choices is really
an option for me, so I have finally decided that we probably
just don’t need the non-Porsche, non-company
automobile. It may be a while until the perfect Porsche
takes its rightful place in the garage, but its spot will be
there waiting, with plenty of space on the walls for the
appropriate accoutrement.
As a member of this club, I have plenty of opportunities
to see examples of the automobiles I imagine
taking that coveted third spot in my garage someday. I
also get to discuss all the details of owning, driving, and
maintaining a particular model with its owner. At our
first Mavs & Mochas on March 11 we had over 120 automobiles
on display, and I could envision most of them
sitting in my garage! There was a little bit of everything,
from early Porsches to very rare late models. Many of
these cars you will never see anywhere else. The new
Mavs and Mochas event is an immediate hit with our
members and I encourage you to get out to the next
one on April 8 at Zims Autotechnik in Bedford. This
is a very informal come-and-go event where we all just
grab a cup of coffee, catch up with old friends, meet
new people, and see lots of great Porsches!
Be sure to check out our upcoming events section
on pages 16-17 and participate whenever possible.

MAV OF THE MONTH: Tony Lisotta
Our Maverick Region
is fortunate to welcome
approximately 300 new
members each year who
bring new perspectives
and energy to all of our
club activities. Our Mav
of the Month is one of
these relatively new members
who joined PCA on September 23, 2014. In that
short amount of time, Tony Lisotta engaged hundreds
of Mavericks by founding and hosting a Porsche-only
“cars and coffee” type of gathering each month since
May, 2015. Just last month, Tony graciously agreed to
transition that private gathering to become an official
Maverick Region monthly social event. As I mentioned,
the first Mavs & Mochas took place on March 11 at
Highland Park Village and was a very big success.
In addition, Tony got the MSR track fever by first
participating in the SCCA Track Night in America program
in 2015. From that experience, he has moved to
become a regular participant (now Blue solo) in our
Region Drivers’ Education program and exercises his
911 in the manner for which it was engineered.
Congratulations, and thank you Tony for “Driving
Friendships” in our club for almost three years. Enjoy
your gift certificate from our friends at the Silver Fox in
Grapevine.

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: March Board Meeting Minutes
By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary March 1, 2017
resident David Robertson
started the meeting
P
at 7:04. He thanked Jim
Falgout for filling in for
him last month when he was out of
town. He also thanked Bill Kruder
for taking on the lead role for the
new Mavs & Mochas series of events.
The first will be March 11 in Highland
Park Village. He also thanked
Nikolaus Klemmer for picking up
the Tech Sessions lead.
Nikolaus then mentioned there
were successful videos on Youtube
involving the tech of cars. He would
like to perhaps make some new ones
to add, involving dealers and local
shops where possible. He also wants
to involve aftermarket car services
like paintless dent repair, clear film
application, and easy maintenance
items for the DIYers out there. He
is looking for additional ideas from
board and club members.
David also mentioned that there
was a Zone 5 Presidents’ meeting on
Feb 18. PCA National is making us
very aware of suggested guidelines
for social media and important insurance
issues. All moving car events
must have waivers signed by drivers
and spectators alike. That also includes
cars moving on a lift. Discussion
to clarify ensued.
Social Chair Tracy Robertson
announced that the May at Mayo’s
event will be on May 6.
Dan Amado stated that we had a
great DE the prior weekend, including
great instruction and a sold-out
Green run group.
Rally Co-Chair Don Sebert reported
that the first rally of the year
will be the April 22 Easter Rally
ending in Muenster. Later in the
year will be a Poker Rally on July 22,
moved from the 15th.
Mavs & Mochas Chair Bill Kruder
thanked Tony Lisotta who started
the event two years ago and recently
agreed to assist in the transition
to making it a MRPCA sanctioned
event. The dates are planned out
through July.
6 April
Slipstream Editor Jim Hirsch said
that the printed copy count remained
the same. We are currently
at 63% advertising, which includes
our club events. He wants to reduce
that percentage to allow more content,
so we will be reducing the size
of event ads to ¼ page. He has entered
the 2016 PCA Newsletter contest,
including two new categories:
Best Cover and Best Feature Article.
Calendar Chair Karl Paulsen
made necessary adjustments to the
calendar, including moving the Autocross
event 3 to April 9. He has
been marking those changed events
on the calendar for easier visibility.
Autocross Chair Mark Schnoerr
reported that Equipe Rapide has
moved their events in Mesquite to
locations more central, most hopefully
to Lone Star Park (the Cirque
du Soleil show opted to not extend
their use of the LSP parking lot). He
also said that there were 106 cars at
the last autocross. ER is able to purchase
new equipment, which will
help everyone. The school set for
April 1 is usually oversold and will
have an AX the next day.
Content Editor Carey Spreen
mentioned that UNT (who is digitizing
our archives) is celebrating
their 5 millionth newspaper page
and invited us to their banquet on
March 9. He attended the Zone 5
meeting where Maverick Region
was celebrated for our 55th anniversary.
National presented us with
great items for our history archives.
We plan to bring them to upcoming
events.
Monthly Social Chair Stephanie
Ho was thrilled with the turnout at
our Valentine event at Lavendou.
Owner Pascal was happy with the
140+ attending and the appreciation
plaque we gave him. The next
event is a Spring party at Uncle
Buck’s on March 16, and then at
Hard 8 BBQ on April 20, which will
be moved earlier to 6 pm. May will
be something different – a drive-in
movie event in Lewisville.
Tour Chair Bill Orr reported
that he has exceeded the minimum
number of signatures required to
move forward with the Custom PCA
License Plate for Texas. He is working
on designs that have a universal
appeal to sell to more people. He
manages 12 social media sites using
Hootsuite. He requested $60/
year to upgrade to the paid version,
giving him more flexibility than the
free one. It was approved. The last
digital photo frame was finally put
into place at Porsche Plano, thanks
to help from PCNA Regional Sales
Manager Steve Krysil.
Webmaster James Shoffit also
attended the Zone 5 meeting and
believes we should create a shared
vault (aka Red Book) of information
about bank accounts, websites,
social media, etc., to maintain continuity
in leadership changes. He
reported for Membership Chair
John Hamilton that we have a total
of 1,708 primary members (up 26
from last month).
Drivers’ Ed/Club Race Registrar
Wendy Shoffit reported that we had
162 drivers at the prior weekend’s
DE event, a HUGE turnout particularly
in upper run groups. The
following weekend is the Club Race
at COTA, moved from Mother’s
Day weekend to March. Turnout is
higher than last year. She also mentioned
that the Hill Country Treffen
was coming soon, which is a fourstar
event. She encouraged more to
sign up for it, as well as for Parade
in Spokane, WA (registration is now
open). Lastly, she mentioned PCA
National has some great initiatives
in mind for the upcoming year, including
a strong focus on kids.
David Robertson announced the
Mav of the Month is Tony Lisotta
for the great job he did creating the
precursor to Mavs and Mochas.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:24
pm.

Kruder’s Cars & Conversations
By Bill Kruder, Region Advertising Chair
Photos courtesy of the Author
s with just about everyone I meet of late, it’s
A
because of Cars & Coffee. The first time we
saw the stunning 2017 911 was at Southlake;
the car appeared and left, and several of us
were dumbfounded as to who it belonged to. Then a
couple weeks later, at an “impromptu” coffee meet in
Frisco, it appeared again; this time we didn’t let the
owner slip through our fingers. A couple of us tracked
him down to get a closer look. But it wasn’t until he was
driving away that Greg Cleath yelled over to me and
said “you have to talk to that guy.” So here is the next in
my series of “conversations” I would like to share with
you . . .
Gordon Graves, owner 2017 991.2
Carerra 4S, member since 2015
BK: Of all cars, why does that one stand out?
GG: When I was a kid I would build model cars, and
my favorite I ever built was a black 1940 coupe. I never
forgot how much I liked it so in 1977 we bought the
real thing.
BK: So how did you get into Porsches?
GG: That I can blame on Susan and our friend Jim
Collier. We first met Jim about 1999 and he was into
Vettes and Porsches so with his help we did the same.
BK: How did you decide on Porsche and what was your
first?
GG: My boss at the time had one. I had the chance
to drive it and I was smitten. Our first was a 1982 Platinum
Targa; we had that for about three or four years.
Bill Kruder: Where are you originally from?
Gordon Graves: Believe it or not I’m from Plano.
My family moved here from McKinney in 1952; I was
in the second grade. Back then there weren’t all these
schools; I think we had all grades in one building. My
high school graduation class had 62 kids in it. (Today,
Plano has three senior high schools and graduates a
total of about 4,000 students these days.)
BK: And what about your wife Susan?
GG: She’s from Dallas; we met in the early 70s and
have now been married for 41 years.
BK: I know you’re retired now but I hear you did a few
different things.
GG: It’s been interesting. My first job out of college,
I worked for the Dallas County Medical Examiners office
as an investigator; kind of a CSI guy you could say.
BK: But I’ve heard your interest has been around cars?
GG: It is for sure. My next job was an adjuster for
Progressive Insurance, but all the driving was a bit
much. Town East Ford offered me a job, and I became
the Assistant Manager of the body shop. That was ok.
I didn’t have to drive, but the hours were long and I
was working a lot, so one day I thought, “if I’m going
to work this hard I might as well work for myself.” So
in about 1987 I bought an Eagle Transmission Store in
Garland and owned that ‘til I retired in 2007.
BK: So what’s one of your favorite cars you have had?
GG: I think my favorite over the years was a 1940 Ford
coupe; I guess you would say it was a hot rod. It had a
small block Chevy engine in it with a turbocharger.
BK: Now I understand the second one you had has an interesting
story?
GG: That’s kind of funny. A couple years ago Susan
and I decided we would go out to a Mecum Auction
in Denver. As we were walking around looking at the
cars we saw this 2008 silver-on-black Turbo cab. I didn’t
think much of it but Susan struck up a conversation
with the owner, and after a phone call to Jim (Collier)
we bought it.
BK: There’s a bit of Maverick celebrity with that car right?
GG: Well not sure about “celebrity,” but we did a
Sunday drive with Tom Martin several months ago and
it ended up on the cover of Slipstream.
Gordon and Susan share more than a car
BK: Ok so you bought that in 2015 but that’s not what
caught our eye at a recent Cars & Coffee?
12 April

GG: We traded it
in for our 2017 991.2
Black-on-Burgundy
4S. That in itself was
just kind of random.
We had been up in
Prosper for breakfast
and decided on the
way home we would
stop in just to “look” at
Porsche Plano. Well,
there sat this beautiful
black Carrera Cabriolet,
and after a bit
of discussion, we had
ourselves a deal.
BK: So that brings
us to the license plate on
this car: “4 A KIDNY”.
What’s the price again? What’s the story here?
GG: Most people
laugh about it and think, yes they do cost about what
a kidney would. But the real story is it really is about a
kidney.
BK: Oh really?
GG: Yes. Back in 1999 I was diagnosed with polycystic
kidney disease (PKD), and was placed on a waiting list
for a transplant. At first we thought that one of my two
sisters would be a match, but because it’s hereditary,
that didn’t work out. Then one day we were out with
friends from the Harley Club, and they said “why can’t
Susan be the donor?” Well that would be fine but we
didn’t even know her blood type let alone if she would
be a match. But as luck would have it, like a miracle,
she was a match.
BK: So in turn you bought her the car?
GG: Oh I have bought more than one for her since
then (chuckling). The first one was a red Mercedes
500SL; remember this was 1999.
BK: So the plate isn’t new?
GG: Oh no, it’s been on about four different cars
since then. As Susan laughs, “you can’t buy kidneys but
you can buy cars.”
Again I’m often astonished what a chance meeting turns
into. A special thanks to Greg Cleath, who nudged me saying
“you have got to talk to this guy”; it truly is about Driving
Friendships.

managed the car contest, and
had the winners identified by
the time we were done with
dinner!
This year, catering will be
A longstanding Maverick
concours tradition
provided by Desperados Mexican
Restaurant of Garland.
Several members dine there
often and are big fans of the restaurant’s fabulous
Mexican fare. The menu will be a little different from
last year’s offering, and should be a favorite of all. Oh
yes, did I mention that we will have Margaritas and beer
too?
Mayo Performance,

1521 Baccarac
Ct in Euless, is
always a great
host, and we so
appreciate being
invited into
their garage!

PCA Tours Preview: The Ennis Bluebonnet Tour
By Bill Orr, Region PCA Tour Co-Chair
Photos by Dee Luxbacher
he second PCA Tour of the season takes
T
us to Ennis, the official Bluebonnet City of
Texas. Each year, thousands of people flock
to this small town south of Dallas to view
some 40 miles of bluebonnet trails and to attend the
festival that celebrates this
natural wonder.
Typically the bluebonnets
peak around the third
week of April. However, this
can vary year to year due to
weather conditions and terrain,
so we have chosen Sunday,
April 15 for this year’s
Tour. That’s a week after the
big Bluebonnet Festival and
midway through the month,
so hopefully the traffic will
be light and the bluebonnets
PCA Tours are a perfect
match for 4-door owners
will be in bloom.
The tour starts at an old
Bank of America building
on the corner of I-45 and
Palestine St in Hutchins at 10 am and proceeds south
through the cities of Ferris, Palmer, and finally Ennis.
It’s a roughly 86-mile trip that ends at Bubba’s BBQ &
Steakhouse (www.bubbasbbqsteakhouse.com) on I-45
for lunch. We should arrive at the restaurant sometime
around noon. If BBQ is not to your liking, you
are free to try one of the many independent and chain
restaurants in the area. Bubba’s can only hold about
110 people, so please let us know if you plan to stay for
lunch when you register.
Speaking of registration: the tours have become
so popular that managing these large groups has become
somewhat complicated,
and registering via email just
doesn’t work very well. In an
effort to streamline the process
and still keep it easy to
use, I have created a form on
the Maverick Region website
that I can customize for each
tour. Moving forward, all registration
will be done through
http://mav.pca.org/register/
tours/.
Great photo
opportunities along
the route
The Harveys’ red cabriolet makes a pretty picture
If you plan to attend the
Tour, it is imperative that you
RSVP before the Tour. When
you RSVP, it gives us an accurate
count to alert the managers of the restaurant so
that they can be prepared. Additionally, three days before
the Tour, you will receive an e-mail with a Garmin
.gdb file of the route, a route overview, and turn-byturn
instructions.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to
contact me at tours@mavpca.org. I hope to see you and
your Porsche at the Ennis Bluebonnet Tour! If you
can’t make it be sure to check out our schedule of future
tours at http://mav.pca.org/go/tours.

Golden Anniversary: Ed Mayo’s 50 years with PCA
As Told to Carey Spreen
Photos courtesy of Ed Mayo
hings you
T
may not
have known
about Ed
Mayo:
• Before joining
PCA he was a hotrodder!
• He first heard
about PCA during
a traffic stop!
• He joined PCA in
another Region!
• He didn’t own a
911 until 1983!
These and other little-known facts are presented
here for your Ed-ification.
While Ed was living in the Cleveland area in the
1960s, his original interest in cars focused on 1930s
American iron. His first was a ’37 Ford sedan that he
turned into a hot rod, and he soon acquired other
similar cars. His conversion to sports cars took place
when Ed and a fraternity brother, who owned a ’59
356A Coupe, were doing some spirited driving around
Ohio’s back roads, and, despite the horsepower advantage
of the Ford, the 356 stayed ahead of the Ford. It
wasn’t too long before Ed sold the ’37, and began his
search for more nimble European machinery.
Previously, his former high school Auto Shop teacher
had opened a Volkswagen repair shop, so Ed asked
his advice about what to buy. Ed had found a Bugeye
Sprite, but his mentor told him “don’t bring it here!”
His recommendation was, as you have already guessed,
a Porsche, specifically a 1960 356B Roadster.
In those days it was common to drive a street-legal car
to a racing event, race it, and then drive it home again.
Ed did this with his B Roadster in SCCA E Production
while still in the Cleveland area. On one occasion, he
was pulled over by one of Cleveland’s Finest. To Ed’s
surprise, the cop asked him if he was a PCA member,
to which Ed replied, “What’s PCA?” The policeman
summarily invited him to join, and in March 1967 he
became a member of the Northern Ohio Region.
As has been chronicled in previous Al Zim retrospectives,
Ed visited Al in North Texas and soon moved
here, transferring to Maverick Region in November
1971. Although he had been teaching in Cleveland, his
preference was working on cars full time. He applied
for a job at Don Miller Porsche + Audi (later Forest
Lane, then Lipshy), and the interview went something
like this:
18 April
You can usually find Ed and his
1972 911S at each
club autocross event
Service Manager: Do you have any experience working
on Volkswagens?
Ed: No, my experience is mainly with Porsches.
Service Manager: You start work tomorrow.
After a couple of years there, he moved to the new
dealer in Ft Worth, Green Oaks Porsche + Audi.
But Ed and Al Zim had also been running a backyard
repair shop. In 1974, when that business got shut
down, they opened Por-Sha in Euless, and later moved
the operation, renamed Zim and Mayo, to Bedford and
into the building now occupied by Zims Autotechnik.
Ed opened his own shop, Mayo Performance, in Euless,
after parting ways with Al in the early 1980s.
During this time, Ed was still racing in SCCA E Production,
competing against Vic Skirmants and other
well-known racers of the day. He had also tried his
hand at autocross, even before moving to North Texas,
running a 1957 Beetle with a modified Porsche engine
in it. When Ed and his Roadster arrived in Maverick
Region, amongst the fast autocrossers were Charlie
Davis and Barry Gibbs, both of whom drove 911s, and
Bob Horn, who, with his wife, competed in a Speedster.
Eventually Ed beat Bob, and Ed’s wife Betty beat Bob’s
wife, establishing a new chapter in Maverick competition.
Ed owned and competed in a number of 356s
through 1982, until divorce forced the sale of his last
one, a 1957 Speedster.
By 1983, Ed had set his sights on a more powerful
Porsche: a silver 1972 911S, owned by David Keens,
which was the “hot rod” of the model line for that year.
He paid David $13,500 for it, and still drives it today –
you may have heard of it referred to as “Elvira.”
Ed, David Keens, and “Elvira”
Also in 1983, Jan Thompson, recently divorced herself,
began dating Ed, and with Jan came a 1.8-liter 914.

The motor in that car was soon replaced with a rebuilt
2.0-liter carbureted engine, and they began autocrossing
it. Up until that time, Ed had not been much of
a fan of 914s, but soon realized that they were killer
autocross weapons! He then bought a 914 that they
could run in the stock class, and did well there too.
Eventually they procured a full-race-modified 914 from
a customer for whom Ed had built a race motor. “Cockroach”
went on to be a class winner, and even a Parade
Top Time of Day winner in Jan’s hands.
Ed’s first exposure to the Porsche Parade was the
1981 Asheville, NC event, although he was not an official
entrant; he was there to assist Steve Kent prepare
Steve’s 1968 911L for the Parade Concours d’Elegance.
Ed and Jan entered the Costa Mesa, CA Parade in 1985,
and Ed has not missed one since.
When Maverick Region won its bid to host the Parade
in 1987, Ed was tapped to be the Tech Inspection
Chair. To prepare for that role, he attended the ’86
Down East Parade (Portland, ME), learning everything
he could about what he needed to do by shadowing
Judy Boles, the Tech Inspection Chair that year.
Among Ed’s other accomplishments: in 1989, he
received the Richard F. Selcer award, and was Maverick
Region’s top male driver of the year. He was Region
President in 1991-92, and top male driver again in
1996. He became the PCA National Tech Advisor for
early 911s in 2003, after winning the Parade Tech Quiz
Early 911 class four times in succession, taking home
the overall trophy in 1999 and 2002.
So congratulations, Ed, for your contributions to
PCA and Maverick Region these last 50 years!

Mavs & Mochas: Inaugural Meet at Highland Park Village
By Bill Kruder and Debi Gibson, Region Coffee Meets Co-Chairs Photos as noted
ith the anticipation of kids at Christmas or
W
the driver waiting to hear the words “ladies
and gentleman start your engines,” we were
ready to begin our inaugural Mavs & Mochas
on March 11th in Highland Park Village. Like all
Porsche DFW Cars & Coffee before this, “the crew” was
there early to see that the lot was ready for our friends,
getting the flags in place and cones set. It wasn’t long
before our first arrivals began to show. As you know, we
post this as an 8:30am to 10:30am meet. Well, by 8:05,
and I recall this exact time, Jimmy Gallegos turns to me
and says “I think we have over 50 cars;” keep in mind it
doesn’t even start for another 25 minutes!
And so it continued,
and the
cars kept flowing
in. By 8:30am,
Robert Kendrick
grabs me and says
“we’re going to
beat Addison with
nearly 80 cars;”
and still they kept
coming.
Not long after that, Jim Hirsch found me and said
“I’m going to get us a count, we have to have more than
100;” and count he did, finally losing track somewhere
just over 120 cars with cars now arriving and departing.
Speaking of cars, we had just about all Porsche models
in attendance, including a couple vintage 914’s,
a couple pristine 356’s, several GT3’s, too many air
cooled 911’s to mention, Targas both vintage and new,
a very rare Club Blau 911 GTS, and last, and certainly
maybe the rarest, was Ajai Cadambi’s ‘05 Carerra GT.
And did I mention
people? Needless to say we
had people everywhere; at
times it was like a swarm of
bees moving from one end
of the lot to the other, following
whatever just pulled
in. The excitement was
contagious with everyone
wanting one of the new
Mavs & Mochas stickers
and even ordering t-shirts!
We would be remiss
Happy Mav members and a
great location combined for
a wonderful gathering
if we didn’t thank a few
people for making this
such a huge success: Tony
Lisotta for sharing his passion
for getting us together
nearly two years ago; David
Robertson for supporting
that we make this a “Club”
event; Kurt Scaggs for his
design effort on our logo;
Chris Flaugh for getting us

II for his continual updating
of our Facebook and social
media postings, and to the

team for keeping our

by George Luxbacher) And lastly, a big thank you
to Jeff Van Sicklen and Park
Place Porsche for bringing out the latest and greatest.
The number of Maverick members attending the inaugural
Mavs & Mochas continued to grow throughout the morning
So, as you can tell,
our first M&M was a
huge success and this
we promise is only the
beginning. More great
locations and friendships
are coming in the
future! If you missed
this one, make certain
to schedule to attend
our next event on April
8th at Zims Autotechnik.
And remember . . .
we are always “driving
friendships.”

Historicizing Porsche: Fuchs for Ferdinand
By Ash Seidl-Staley
Photos courtesy of the Author
hen Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, Ferry
W
Porsche’s eldest son, went out searching for
the perfect wheel for his 911 production
sports car, he knew that acquiring just any
wheel would not do. It had to compliment the 911, it
had to be sleek, it had to be light, it had to be trendsetting,
and, above all else, it had to be made of some
sort of alloy. Otto Fuchs, working out of a workshop
in Meinerzhagen, Germany, accepted F.A.’s wheel challenge,
and even let F.A. design the final product! The
result from the Porsche-Fuchs collaboration became
one of the most iconic sets of wheels ever to be manufactured
for a road-going sports car. Of course, I’m
talking about Fuchsfelge, the “windmill” wheels, or put
simply, Fuchs.
Since their initial 911 contract signed in 1963,
Otto Fuchs KG has continued to develop alternative
wheel designs for cars, motorcycles, trucks, and
even airplanes. In the late sixties to early seventies
Otto Fuchs developed what came to be known as the
baroque wheel for the Mercedes-Benz W 108 and W
109. Later, Fuchs supplied wheels for the NSU Ro80,
Opel’s Kadett GTE, and even BMW’s first M5. Since
the early 1980s Audi, Rolls-Royce, and Lamborghini
have all been known to deploy sets of forged Fuchs on
some of their most prestigious models. But it is with
Porsche that Fuchsfelge have garnered their legendary
status. Initially, Porsche offered 15-inch Fuchs for
its 911 S model, but in 1981 expanded their coverage
to include the 924 and 944 base models. Since 1988,
Fuchs have been the standard wheel deployed on the
911 Carrera, and can be ordered in the classic 15- and
16-inch diameters, or upgraded to 17-, 18-, or even
19-inch sizes! Currently, aftermarket Fuchs, knockoff
Fuchs, and brand-spanking-new Fuchs can be ordered,
and fitted onto nearly all Porsche models regardless of
the wheelbase, ride height, or year. Don’t have a set of
Fuchs lying around the garage? That’s ok; eBay, Pelican
Parts, Craigslist, and even 5milesapp.com have lightly
used sets going for around $1200-$1500. Plus, you can
always build a Porsche online or check out the Fuchs
website at www.fuchsfelgeusa.com for pricing and to attain
lists of applicable vehicles.
As you might have guessed, I have a set of classic
Fuchs (as Porsche fanatics, haven’t we all at some
point?). My set, along with a massive set of BBS Wheels,
were bequeathed to me with my grandfather’s 1972 911
T-V (carbureted) -- the one with the infamous 935 Kevlar
body kit. And although they are not bolted onto any
vehicle now, I plan on keeping them indefinitely. These
Fuchs are special to me, not just because they were my
1972 vintage Fuchs wheel with custom painted cap
grandfather’s and are most likely original to his ‘72,
but because my mother actually painted the Porsche
name and crest on the wheel caps! Before my existence
was ever thought of, my grandfather commissioned my
mother to “spice up” his Fuchs, a task the young, aspiring
artist graciously accepted. It has been nearly forty
years since she painted these caps, but the paint still
pops with vibrant color. Every time I look at the Fuchs
I am treated to happy memories depicting both my
grandfather and my mother. For these reasons, I could
never bring myself to sell them.
I’d like to close out this month’s article with a short
dedication to my mother, Diana McCoy, as on the 21st
of this month she will be celebrating the big 5-0. I cannot
express how
much I love her,
and how grateful
I am that she
raised me the
way that she did.
I want to thank
her for her compassion,
for her
wisdom, and for
her love. Thank
you Mom! I love
you, and have an
extremely Happy
Birthday!
See you next
month, Mavs. As
always . . . Wrench
On!

he Maverick Region / Equipe Rapide Autocross
Program has been a huge success
T
and is just getting started for year three
together. Each event draws more than 100
participants and at least ten Porsches. Our autocrossonly
focused partner has the usual club officers and a
total of ten board members, including a PCA member,
yours truly, the Maverick PCA Autocross Chair.
It takes a lot of people doing a lot of well-synchronized
tasks to run these events. There are early set up
crews that begin with a trailer full of gear, unload most
of it, set up a start and finish lines, install the timers,
then lay out, blow off, and chalk the course, sometimes
beginning before first light. Tech inspection and registration
teams get started at 8:00 am sharp. The Worker
Assignment person coordinates every entry into the
event since autocross is a work/run participation sport.
There are many roles the ER Board Members take on
at every event to keep it running smoothly all the way
through clean up (another team of
people) and the awards ceremony.
We are very fortunate to have partnered
with Equipe Rapide for our
autocross program. The success
of the program helps to fund topnotch
equipment and pay out cash
awards at every event.
New for 2017: All new wireless timing systems with
redundant backups, new MirrorCross Christmas Tree
starting lights for the side by side starts at those events,
new Motorola radio systems, ongoing replacement of
beat-up pylons, special cases and kits for transporting
all the gear to each site, equipment trailer maintenance,
multiple course blower upkeep, new chalk line
spreaders, and updated computers that control and
monitor it all.
Check the schedule (p. 16) and come out to see what
all the excitement is about, take a ride-along, or enter
your car to come and play with us at an event soon.
Schedule update: Lone Star Park, one of the best
autocross sites in the area, has opened up a date for the
PCA/ER AutoCross program – Sunday, April 9. This
will become event number three, as the Mesquite date
in April has been cancelled.

Obscure Porsche News Finally Revealed
By Tom Martin
Photos courtesy of the Author
H
ere’s all the news from the Porsche world that Tom Martin, our intrepid cub reporter, was able to uncover
over these past few months. There has been so much other club news for us to report here in
Slipstream, that we’ve had to push these late-breaking, unlikely news items to our April issue. Please read
on, and you may find out the reason for our publishing delay.
PORSCHE TO ENTER NASCAR WITH PANAMERA HYBRID
It’s official! Porsche will field a team of specially-prepared Panamera hybrids
to compete in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in 2018. Hendrick
Motorsports will spearhead the Porsche NASCAR program, and current
and past factory drivers Patrick Dempsey and Mark Webber are scheduled to
share driving duties, because NASCAR chicks think they’re “hot.”
Porsche driving guru Walter Röhrl is already preparing his young steeds
for the rigors of a NASCAR season by immersing them into an intensive “dip
and spit” program. Stay tuned for further developments.
PORSCHE TESTS NEW 917 ELECTRIC HOVERCRAFT
Porsche UK was recently spotted at the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in
Northamptonshire, testing Porsche’s new 917 electric hovercraft. The effort
is more of an engineering exercise than practical application. (so they say!)
Engineering Chief Nigel Spanner observes, “It goes like the clappers, but
cornering is a problem, what with the bloody car riding on a three-inch cushion
of air. Downforce is virtually a foreign concept at this point.”
Spanner confirmed that Stuttgart is working on the issue.
MICHELIN TARGETS RETRO-LOOK WHITEWALLS
Some of the earliest Pre-A Porsche 356s sported whitewall tires. And they
looked pretty darn good too, at least by 1953 standards.
Tire manufacturer Michelin has just announced that they will offer its
highest line of performance street tires, the ultra-sticky Pilot Sport Plus, with
optional white walls. Also available will be the “Michelin” text highlighted in
different colors printed on the sidewalls, à la Formula 1.
Is this a sign of Michelin coming back to Formula 1? One can only hope
not, especially after the 2006 US Grand Prix debacle in Indianapolis. Il suffit
de dire.
THE SMART CAR RE-IMAGINED
After Mercedes Benz’ less-than-stellar reception of their Smart Car vision,
Porsche has taken up the gauntlet and begun to entertain the prospect of a
viable Porsche “city car.”
The proposed power plant is a scaled-down version of Porsche’s GT3RS
4.0 liter, 580 hp normally aspirated flat-six. The final flat-twin unit is expected
to push out almost 350 hp, which should propel the 1600 lb. “city car” to
ludicrous speed. Instantly.
The proposed Porsche sure looks cute too; with those oversize 22” wheels,
it almost looks like an old Hot Wheels© car. The millennials will love it.

Around the Bend...
By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
pring has definitely sprung already this year
S
in Texas. In fact, it’s almost as if fall turned
directly into spring and we forgot about
winter entirely. That means our Maverick
Region members are now exercising their Porsche vehicles
regularly.
In addition to our own club PCA Tour and Rally programs
providing local scenic drives, the PCA Treffen
Hill Country, Roadrunner Region Fiesta New Mexico,
and PCA Parade are in locations that require longer
periods of time in our Porsches - which is a good thing!
Of course these Region and National PCA “scenic”
drives remind me of two important dictums. The first
comes from the mouth of that well-known sage, John
Phillips (of Car and Driver fame). He reminds us that,
“When you see ‘scenic’ on a map, it does not necessarily
mean it should be seen.”
I’m sure many of us have inadvertently gotten
on that proverbial road to nowhere, often
promised to have an unbelievable sight perfect
for photographs with your Porsche. So, as
someone who practices Carpe Viam, how do we
let that happen to ourselves?
And that brings me to my second dictum concerning
“scenic” drives, or other long road trips on unfamiliar
routes - don’t over rely on GPS. This common
travel malady is typically referred to as “Death by GPS”
or “why do we follow digital maps into dodgy places?”.
Greg Milner shares, “It describes what happens when
your GPS fails you, not by being wrong, exactly, but
often by being too right. It does such a good job of
computing the most direct route from Point A to Point
B that it takes you down roads which barely exist.”
Most of us use GPS as a crutch while driving through
unfamiliar terrain, tuning out and letting that soothing
voice do the dirty work of navigating.
Matthew McKenzie gives the most salient advice for
“scenic” road warriors, “Here’s a simple call for some
common sense. Use GPS and other mobile devices
the way they should be used: as simple conveniences.
Carry a real map, understand the local climate,
and don’t hesitate to turn around and go back
the way you came if your directions don’t ‘feel’
right.” By this time it’s too late to ask for help.
That’s some travel advice for your upcoming
“scenic” road trips as you Carpe Viam.
