Sprockets: Who Will Be First?
By David Robertson, Region President
f I had any pull with the local dealerships
I
I would love to have my name on the list
for one of the new 911 GT3’s that will begin
delivery soon. Although I am sure that the
subject would be very politely and skillfully changed
if I asked for an allocation of one of these cars, many
of our club members have gotten themselves onto the
Porsche “nice” list over the years and will be receiving
these new GT3’s in the coming months.
I mention this because the great thing about our
club is that as soon as our members start getting these
cars you will see them at our events and you can get up
close to experience them. You may not be able to drift
a new GT3 around the track but you will find that the
owners will be more than happy to show them off to
you and answer questions you might have. This is true
of all the great Porsches from rare classics to the newest
limited production models and everything in between.
Mavs and Mochas has become one of the best ways
to simply enjoy looking at a big variety of Porsches and
share yours as well. We usually have over 100 Porsches
show up, and at our last event in June there was a larger
variety of years, models, and I dare say condition, than
I have ever seen! I really enjoy walking around and
speaking to the owners about their cars. There is always
a great story behind each car, no matter how classic or
new the model is! I always learn something new and
meet lots of new people at every Maverick event I attend.
Between social events, driving opportunities and
track time, there are way too many Maverick Region
events each month to cover here so check out the calendar
at mav.pca.org and subscribe to our many social
media networks to stay informed.
One item that I am looking forward to seeing very
soon at our events and out on the road are the PCA
specialty license plates that are now available for preorder.
I can tell you that these
are selling fast! You can order a

numbers or get a custom plate.
I have already seen some of the
confirmed custom orders and
they are going to be good! Who
will be the first to show up with
one at an event? You can put in
your preorder at http://mav.
pca.org/go/plate. Once we
get to 200 preorders they start
going out and it looks like that
will be soon!

take a look at the Maverick Region calendar and join
us. We would love to meet you!
MAV OF THE MONTH: Kurt Scaggs
Our Mav of the Month is a relatively recent volunteer,
but a passionate and longtime Porsche owner. Kurt
Scaggs saw a request for assistance in creating our event
ads in an issue of Slipstream last year and decided to
offer his time and talent. Fortunately for our region,
Kurt does graphic design work professionally, so his
“real” work fits in beautifully with our club needs.
Thank you, Kurt, and we appreciate seeing your eyecatching
designs both in Slipstream and online!
Kurt with son Wilson
