Sprockets: Happy New Year 2018 

By David Robertson, Region President 

appy New Year to all of my fellow Maverick 

H 

Region PCA members! I hope everyone 

had a great holiday season. I have been 

travelling in the Northeast a bit over the last 

month and I am reminded that we have quite a good 

season for driving our Porsches here in DFW, since 

there is always at least a chance that we could have topdown 

weather in January. I can tell you from personal 

experience after living in Boston for many years that we 

are very lucky to have a 12 month driving season and 

you should take advantage of that! 

We are not wasting any time in getting the event calendar 

up and running. The first Mavs & Mochas of the 

year will be held on Saturday, January 13 at Southlake 

Town Square. Each of these gatherings features a different 

Porsche model, and this month we are celebrating 

the 996. If you haven’t been to a Mavs & Mochas, 

you are in for a treat. There is always a wide variety of 

Porsches to see, ranging across many models and years, 

and it is a wonderful and casual event that allows you to 

get out on a Saturday morning and start your weekend 

off right! 

On Saturday, January 27 there will be two events, 

starting with a Tech Session in the morning. A Tech 

Session is an educational event, typically hosted by a 

local business, where we gather to learn something 

new about our Porsches. On the 27th we will be at Park 

Place Porsche to learn about the lubrication requirements 

on our cars and SUVs. I always learn something 

at these meetings that I haven’t seen on YouTube! 

On the afternoon of the 

On January 27th 

we will have 

the annual All 

Member Party. 

This event has 

grown to one 

of the biggest 

events of the 

year and is not 

to be missed. 

27th we will have the annual 

All Member Party. This event 

has grown to one of the biggest 

events of the year and is 

not to be missed. This party 

includes a car show with some 

very special Porsches, and it 

is a great way for all of our 

members to learn something 

new about the club. There are 

more details to be found on 

page 14 in this issue so I will 

not mention more, except to 

say that there is no football on TV that weekend! 

Make a New Year’s resolution to get to know some of 

your fellow Maverick members this year and participate 

in some of our events. There is something for everyone, 

and you probably already realize that your resolution 

of going to the fitness center on Saturday mornings is 

never going to happen!

MAV OF THE MONTH: Debi Gibson 

Debi began contributing her time and creative 

energy to the Mavs & Mochas events a while back with 

some tweaks and ideas that really helped turn it into 

the great meet up that you see today. 

Since then, she has started getting more involved 

with our Social events and co-organized the Founders 

Day celebration last month that was one of our best 

ever. From the small details like the clever table 

decorations to the monumental task of arranging a 

venue and setting 

up catering for 

200 people, Debi 

made it look easy. 

She always has a 

smile and makes 

everyone feel 

welcomed at our 

events. Debi will 

be taking over 

the Social Chair 

position in 

February and I 

can’t wait to see 

what she comes 

up with!

PCA Palooza 2017: aka Porsche Palooza in Eureka Springs 

By Larry Hampton, Jay Lynch, Mark Palmer, Landon Stogner, and Greg Ward 

ditor’s Note: the PCA 

E 

Palooza is a long-standing 

event (now in its 13th 

year) hosted by the White 

River, Cimarron, and Ozark Regions 

in the bucolic town of Eureka Springs. 

We had quite a number of Maverick 

Region members who participated in the 

event this year and what follows are the 

perspectives shared by our five authors. 

In addition, all of the included photos 

are courtesy of the authors. I know these 

shared experiences will entice you to consider 

attending the 2018 edition! 

Angel’s Diner - a must stop on the way to Palooza 

6 January 

Mark Palmer 

PCA Palooza in Eureka 

Springs, Arkansas 

(also known as “Little 

Switzerland”), happens 

every November, when 

the small artsy town comes alive 

with the sound of flat sixes and turbos 

in every color, model, and year. 

This year was my first Palooza and 

I enjoyed it immensely. The laidback 

atmosphere, friendly people, 

and fantastic roads are perfect for 

Porsches. 

Over the past year, every person 

I asked about Palooza always 

told me that it was a “must-attend” 

event, and I am here to tell you to 

mark your calendars for November 

8-11, 2018 and to head to northwest 

Arkansas and Palooza. We had 

over 300 Porsches and close to 600 

people from 33 states, with great 

tours, car shows, silent auctions, socials, 

food, sponsors (including our 

own Dallas Motorsports as the title 

sponsor), and awesome weather. 

The roads showcase your Porsche’s 

handling, and can be experienced 

either by signing up for the tours or 

by heading out in your own groups 

using your own routes. 

Many attendees caravan to Eureka 

Springs from the Metroplex in 

small groups, as I did, with Landon, 

Jay, Greg, and Michele, taking 

roads like the Pig Trail or Talimena 

Scenic Byway to enjoy coming and/ 

or going. 

PCA Palooza has become one 

of the largest Porsche events in the 

country, so if you want to enjoy a 

few days next year in the Ozarks, 

with three pedals or two, air-cooled 

or otherwise, and great people, 

leave the worries and stresses of the 

world behind and come join us in 

Eureka Springs for Palooza! 

Disclaimer: I received no compensation 

for this wholehearted 

endorsement! 

Jay, Mark, Landon, and Greg, a 

Maverick driving team 

Landon Stogner 

Taking a trip and 

getting away from the 

normal routine is always 

fun, but what’s 

even more fun is a 

great adventure with your Porsche 

and friends. Well, that is just what I 

did back in November. I had heard 

from many that taking the trip to 

Eureka Springs, AR for the PCA 

Palooza Event would 

be a blast, and boy, was 

it. 

Planning started 

back in June when we 

locked in our hotel 

reservations. Seeing 

how the event is so 

popular, the host hotel 

was already booked, 

so we settled for the 

“overflow” Best Western 

down the street. Pete, Mark, 

Jay, and I discussed making this trip 

back in April when we all attended 

the Hill Country Treffen Event in 

Austin, TX, so we had the starting 

phase of a caravan group that 

would make the six-plus hour drive 

from Plano to Eureka Springs. As 

time got closer we added another 

fine Porsche to our group when 

Greg and Michele agreed to join 

us. We started our journey on a 

Wednesday mid-morning by meeting 

at a place us Mavs like to frequent 

when we get together with 

our cars: Starbucks. 

After we all fueled up on caffeine 

and tuned our walkie-talkies 

to the same channel, we were off. 

Now the weather wasn’t our friend 

that day as we made most of the 

trip in the rain. We all agreed we’d 

rather have the rain on the drive to 

Arkansas than the rest of the time 

on the trip. Just before arriving at 

Angel’s Diner in McAllister, OK, 

the rain stopped. We enjoyed lunch 

in the 50s-style diner that had two 

vintage Cadillacs parked out front 

as part of the restaurant’s display. 

This was the first of many meals we

all shared together over our fiveday 

trip. After stuffing ourselves 

with good food, we finished the remainder 

of the trip arriving to our 

hotel just after dusk. 

Day One of Palooza started off 

with breakfast, then hopping in the 

car for the short drive to the convention 

center for our tour’s driver 

meeting. After receiving our maps 

and meeting our drive leaders, we 

were off. This day’s choice was Buffalo 

River Tour with a stop at Ozark 

Café in Jasper, AR for lunch. We 

continued on the great roads of 

hills and valleys making it back to 

Eureka Springs with enough time 

for us to stop off at the local car 

wash before heading back to the 

convention center for the nightly 

dinner. 

Day Two started off much like 

before; breakfast and driver meeting. 

This day’s route was the Southwest 

Missouri Tour. On our drive 

we stopped off at the Dogwood 

Canyon Nature Park in Missouri, 

which was a beautiful park. We 

enjoyed walking along some of the 

trails, looking at the natural waterfall, 

and checking out the two-story 

tree house. 

We continued on our tour, stopping 

in at the College of the Ozarks 

to have lunch and ice cream. Again 

after stuffing ourselves, we were 

back in the cars (anyone see a trend 

here?) on to the brief stop at one 

of the many area dams for a photo 

opp. We ended back at the hotel 

way ahead of schedule, so we decided 

on our own route for another 

drive. This led us to Beaver Lake, 

Castle Rogue’s Manor 

with a stop 

at the nearby 

Beaver Dam for 

pictures of our 

cars next to the 

water as the sun 

set. 

Day Three 

was a short 

morning tour 

to Castle Rogue’s Manor. The tour 

was short, as Saturday was the big 

Palooza Car Show and police-escorted 

parade through the downtown 

streets of Eureka Springs. 

The car show feature close to 300 

Porsches, ranging from the 356 to 

the 918 Spyder. I think the only car 

not represented was the Carrera 

GT. 

After the fun parade through the 

town, with the locals waving gourds 

as we drove by, it was back to the 

convention center for the dinner, 

door prizes, silent auction, bingo, 

and more. The banquet dinner was 

also where the People’s Choice winners 

were announced for each car 

class. 

Our caravan crew agreed to 

make this “trip to home” drive just 

as adventurous as the others. I was 

voted drive leader, so with Google 

Maps by my side, we headed south 

to Brashears, AR so we could connect 

up to the famous Pig Trail 

Scenic Byway. This stretch of road is 

more than words can describe. We 

drove the whole trail of hills, valleys, 

and curves before making our 

way across the Arkansas River on 

our way to Mena, AR. From Mena 

we headed west toward Oklahoma 

via the Talimena Scenic Byway. 

The five-day trip was another 

great testament to “Driving Friendships.” 

My name is already on the 

hotel list for Palooza 2018. 

Jay Lynch 

Imagine you have 

planned an extended 

road trip. You have organized 

the drive with 

Porsches of the Maverick driving team 

four friends who own a select group 

of Porsches. It’s November and 

the leaves are turning all shades 

of splendor. The night before the 

trip to Eureka Springs and the 

2017 PCA Palooza, sleep is hard to 

come by. We had washed the cars, 

cleaned the interiors, blackened 

the tires and, oh yeah, checked the 

windshield wipers, because when 

the morning comes, it’s raining. 

A quick cup of Starbuck’s 

0-Dark-Thirty coffee and we are 

on the road. Nothing sweeter than 

Stuttgart’s finest, radar detector assisted, 

cruising from Texas through 

Oklahoma. A bite for lunch at Angel’s 

nostalgic Diner, and -- poof 

-- we are entering Arkansas. Night 

finds us winding through the twisties, 

cautiously watching for deer, 

and arriving in the cutest little resort 

community about 6:30 pm, just 

in time to sign in at the hotel, announce 

our arrival at the event center, 

and meet with other Porsche 

owners from across the country, 

including many friends from the 

Maverick Region. Over 300 cars 

were signed in and welcomed by an 

incredible team of Palooza volunteers 

who were absolutely fabulous, 

friendly, and extremely organized. 

Each day the groups of drivers 

met in designated areas where 

local team leaders reviewed the 

daily routes and destinations: Buffalo 

River, Boston Mountains, Dam 

Castle. Some of the most beautiful 

and scenic countryside infused 

with twisties, mountain roads, and 

river views. We visited a castle and 

museum with Elizabethan displays, 

the Treehouse Masters community 

of lakes with hiking trails and wa- 

7

terfalls, and the Bass Pro Log Cabin 

Restaurant and Event Center at 

the entrance to the College of the 

Ozarks. 

Saturday afternoon we all traveled 

through the streets of Eureka 

Springs, tossing candy to the crowd 

that had turned out to view the 

“Parade of Porsche Power.” Every 

evening there was entertainment: a 

wine gathering for the ladies (but I 

think a few gentlemen showed up), 

the Bingo Party filled with prizes 

and laughter, and the Awards Ceremony 

with introduction of Sponsors 

and distribution of door prizes, 

overseen by our hosts Melody and 

Leonard Zechiedrich. 

When we were not driving, we 

were eating: the Thursday night 

Mixer, the Friday night Cookout 

and Welcome Party, the Saturday 

night Banquet, and the Sunday 

morning breakfast, before saying 

farewell to old and new friends. 

No wonder this event is so well supported. 

Fabulous folks, gorgeous 

driving routes, and a town abundant 

with shops that thrive on and 

appreciate the tourist trade. We 

were hooked and made hotel reservations 

for next year’s event. OMG, 

by Sunday we found ourselves on 

the waiting list but anticipating our 

return to Eureka Springs. 

Greg Ward 

Porsche Palooza 

2017 was my first 

Porsche event out of 

the DFW area. Friends 

in four cars made the 

trip together with radios for navigation, 

communication, and wise 

cracks. Each day of the trip had 

eating, driving, photography, and 

socializing elements. We gathered 

at the convention center for staggered 

drivers’ meetings for the various 

tours of the day and made new 

acquaintances. 

Day one was 166 miles on the 

scenic Buffalo River Tour with a 

lunch stop in historic Jasper, Arkansas 

at the Ozark 

Cafe. The 

drive leader 

sat with us during 

lunch and 

we suggested a 

more spirited 

pace for the afternoon 

and he 

delivered. 

Day two was 

117 miles on 

the SW Missouri 

Tour, 

including the 

beautiful Dogwood Canyon Nature 

Park, which should be a repeat destination 

for further exploration. 

Our lunch stop was at the Keeter 

Center at the College of the Ozarks 

in Lookout, MO. We also did a 

photo stop at the Table Rock Dam. 

Day three included a Veterans 

Day Parade through Eureka 

Springs; our big group of cars 

was called the Porsche Parade of 

Power. Many people gathered for 

the event supporting our veterans. 

It was at the Show and Shine event 

that we finally saw all 300+ cars that 

were attending the event. What a 

collection of cars -- everything from 

the historic 356 to a 918 and from 

as far away as Montana, Canada, 

and Florida. 

The roads in northern Arkansas 

were really nice, some recently 

paved; there were lots of curves, 

many banked. The curves were 

close enough together that the 

cars gracefully zipped through 

the mountainsides. The mountain 

landscapes and fall colors were 

beautiful and the air was crisp. 

Many thanks to the organizers for 

a great event! We already have our 

rooms reserved for next year. 

Larry Hampton 

On November 9, 

Frank and Bobbie 

Briggs led a pack of 

Porsches for the tenth 

time to PCA Palooza 

A portion of the more than 300 Porsches that 

attended the 2017 PCA Palooza event 

2017. Other cars in this group were 

driven by Larry and Cathy Hampton, 

Doug and Cheryl Koeppen, 

Carey Spreen and Sue Crimm, and 

Marg Edwards. Of course there was 

the mandatory stop for lunch at Angel’s 

Café, a 50s diner, in McAlester, 

OK, and the very spirited drive up 

the “Pig Trail” in Arkansas. 

After registration that afternoon, 

we met up with Mavericks Clark 

Randall and Vanessa Fernandes for 

a great Italian dinner at Ermilio’s. 

Friday and Saturday morning were 

spent shopping, having drinks at 

the Crescent Hotel, and touring, 

including the Crystal Bridges Museum/Frank 

Lloyd Wright house, 

and quiet time at the Thorncrown 

Chapel. Saturday afternoon included 

the Parade of Porsches through 

downtown Eureka Springs, followed 

by the Peoples’ Choice Car 

Show. Many other Mavericks participated, 

and some were recognized 

at the Awards Banquet and closing 

ceremony Saturday night. 

Maverick winners of “Peoples’ 

Choice” trophies included: 

John Savickas 918 

Larry Hampton 997 Turbo 

Scott Boyd 993 Turbo 

This year’s attendance was 332 

cars from 16 states and Puerto Rico,

Kruder’s Cars & Conversations 

By Bill Kruder 

his young Mav was truly 

T 

a chance meeting. Earlier 

this spring we had 

our Mavs & Mochas 

at Zims, then paraded over to the 

Heights Church in Richardson for 

their annual car show. As we pulled 

in, we apparently drove right by 

Derrick and his brother Kedereck. 

We finally parked and took a walk 

through the show, noticing this very 

nice Boxster with these two young 

men. We started up a conversation 

and invited Derrick, the owner, to 

come out with us. Well, come out 

with us he has! He joined us for his 

first Mavs & Mochas in Los Colinas 

and has been with us ever since, not 

only attending, but actively volunteering! 

I have gotten to know this 

young man over many coffees and 

cigars, and he doesn’t even smoke! 

So here is the next individual in 

my series of “conversations” I would 

like to share with you . . . 

Derrick Tate, member since 2017, 

Owner 1999 (986) Boxster 

and 2007 (987) Cayman 

Bill Kruder: So are you originally 

from here? 

Derrick Tate: No, I was born 

in Fort Hood, which is down near 

Killeen, Texas. We moved right after 

I was born so I tell everyone I’m 

originally from Decatur, Illinois as 

that’s where my memories are. 

Dallas, in about 2004, for a job. 

Since graduating college I’ve lived 

in Rockwall. 

BK: Where did you go to college? 

DT: I graduated in 2016 from 

UNT. 

BK: And what was your degree in? 

DT: It’s an Applied Arts and Science 

degree with a concentration 

in Criminal Justice. Right now I’m 

just wrapping up my MBA in Criminal 

Justice; I plan on starting Law 

School in fall 2018. 

BK: And I understand you have put 

yourself through college? 

DT: Yes, I have. I’ve been fortunate 

enough to get some scholarship 

money and the rest comes 

from my business. 

BK: Let’s see . . . you are all of 24 

and go to school and have a business? 

DT: I know! I wonder at times 

(laughing), but yes, I have a mobile 

auto repair business. 

BK: How did that come about? 

DT: Well I always was a tinkering 

kid. It started when I was about 

12-13 and I would watch my dad 

work on his motorbikes. When I 

was about 14 I acquired one of his 

old ones and I fixed it up so I could 

ride up and down the alley. Then 

from there I started working on the 

family cars, then friends’ cars, and 

it just kept growing. 

BK: But I hear it’s a mobile service? 

DT: Yes, it’s DJ Automotive. I 

did a little research and found that 

people often found themselves 

stranded by some of the simpler 

things I could fix on the spot rather 

than tow. 

BK: Ok so tell me about your first 

car? 

DT: That was a 2002 BMW 325i. 

I have this thing for German cars I 

guess. I remember when my brother 

and I would play video games I 

would always pick the German cars. 

BK: So how did you get into the 

Porsche world? 

DT: Well, like I said, I have always 

liked German cars, and always 

admired Porsches. So one day my 

girlfriend’s mom asked if I would 

take her car to get it washed. Well of 

course I would, it’s a Boxster. That’s 

all it took and I knew I wanted one 

so about three years ago I bought 

my first. 

BK: And what was it? 

DT: It’s the one I met you guys 

in, a 1999 Glacier White Boxster. 

BK: And how did you end up in 

DFW? 

DT: Well, we were a military family 

so we moved some, that’s what 

took us to Illinois. 

BK: So your dad was in the military 

-- what branch? 

DT: Oh no, my mom was. She 

was in the Army and was a heavy 

equipment operator. It wasn’t 

‘til she got out that we moved to 

Derrick’s 2007 Cayman (Photo by Michael Durovick) 


BK: So what would be your ultimate 

Porsche? 

DT: That’s easy! That would be 

a base model 993. It’s the last aircooled 

made, and it’s often considered 

to be the best one ever made, 

well, best air-cooled. 

The author and the “Apprentice” (Photo by Landon Stogner) 

BK: And I know there is another? 

DT: There is, I’ve always wanted 

a Cayman. So Erica, my girlfriend, 

and I talked and she said go for it. 

I managed to save for the past year 

and figured I would sell the Boxster 

to help pay for it. Well in August I 

found the black 2007. 

BK: But you still have the Boxster? 

DT: I do (laughing); Erica said I 

should just keep it. 

BK: Wow, so some might call you 

an “enthusiast!” Bill Orr has defined 

our Porsche owners as: one, 

you’re an owner; two, you’re Derrick; 

and three, you’re a collector. 

Any more than that, you’re crazy! 

So there you have it once again. 

Had we not gone to the Heights, 

had we not taken the time to stop 

and chat, we would have missed out 

on our club’s future. Derrick not 

only attends every Mavs & Mochas 

but has become one of the most active 

volunteers at many events, even 

attending our monthly board meetings. 

Matter of fact, many attending 

the Founders Day Celebration at 

Texas Harley-Davidson would have 

been greeted by him at the reception 

desk. Derrick is the true meaning 

of “Driving Friendships!”

Maverick Region 55th Anniversary Founders Day 

By Olga Taylor, Manu Bhatia, and Beckie Gomer 

A 

s a new Maverick, I approached the 55th 

Anniversary Mavs & Mochas event with a 

bit of nervousness. Would my ‘80 SC play 

well with the other models? After years 

of power steering, would I be able to successfully 

back her into a parking space? I was feeling all of 

that and more. 

Alas, my fear was replaced with joy when I saw 

the huge smiles of Mav volunteers and vast expanse 

of my favorite marque. The traffic jam was 

stunning -- I just loved every bit of it. 

There was no lack of diversity! I saw wonderfully 

preserved 356s parked beside various 911 

models, new and old. Yes, I saw at least one 914, 

many beautiful Boxsters and Caymans; in fact I 

might have seen at least one Panamera and a few 

Cayennes. (I missed seeing everything -- sorry if 

your baby is not mentioned here). My conclusion: 

this club is very welcoming -- I think I saw 

a BMW in the mix. So, after confidently backing 

into a parking spot, things got better as I walked 

amongst these marvelous vehicles. 

While Porsches are known for style, smell, 

and sound, PCA members are an eclectic group 

who love to drive, display, and discuss Porsches. 

Top-down if possible, hood-up if warranted, and 

always confidently parked -- this is how we do it! 

So, what was it like? Imagine throngs of strangers 

sharing war stories interrupted by spontaneous 

bursts of laughter. That’s what it was like at 

the 55th Anniversary Mavs & Mochas at Highland 

Park Village on December 2, 2017. Many thanks 

to all the volunteers who created this wonderful 

experience. Your execution was flawless! 

Final thoughts: never miss a Mavs & Mochas 

event. Whatever your mindset or preconceived 

notions, show up. You will be overwhelmed by the 

outpouring of friendship. And like me, you and 

your Porsche might receive the President’s Award 

at the People’s Choice Car Show: total surprise. 

- Olga Taylor 

he first Saturday in December, over 200 

T 

Porsche enthusiasts gathered together with 

their families in the Highland Park Village 

to celebrate their love of a truly unique 

sports car brand. With the parking lot filled nearly to 

capacity with cars ranging from beautifully restored 

vintage automobiles dating back to the 1960s to pristine 

nearly-million-dollar hypercars, there was a little 

bit of something for everybody’s tastes. Base model 

Boxsters parked next to range-topping GT3s, sporty 

sedans parked next to family-friendly SUVs. Nearly every 

car in the Porsche model lineup was represented in 

one way or another. 

Mike Mahoney, the Maverick Region Concours 

Chair, made this Founders Day Mavs & Mochas an 

extra special event by hosting a People’s Choice Top 

Ten car show. Every person who attended this morning 

event got to cast a vote for each of the ten Porsches 

they saw that most caught their eye. Over 100 Maverick 

members chose to participate in the Top Ten show 

and each donated $10 for our Huffaker Hughes Hope 

House charity. 

The results were announced at our evening event: 

1st overall: Michael Hensarling, 1956 356 Speedster 

2nd overall: Jack Griffin, 1955 356 Continental 

3rd overall: Bill Kruder, 1964 356 C 

President’s Choice: Olga Taylor, 1980 911 SC Targa 

Rounding out the top 10, in year model order: 

Roberto Anderson, 1963 356 C 

Pam Adams, 1967 911

Three Morning Events to Start a Day of Celebrations 

Mavs & Mochas and Toy Drive photos by Bob Molyneux 

What sets the 

Maverick Region 

apart from other 

car clubs is the 

sheer diversity of 

its member base 

and their choice 

of rides. Every 

single car had its 

own unique flair, 

and every single 

owner had a story 

to share about 

how they came 

across their 

particular car. 

Owners proudly 

stood by their 

cars, eagerly waiting 

for somebody 

to spark a conversation 

just so they 

could share their 

story.

Photo by Michael Durovick 

They say that every Porsche has a personality, and 

the stories from Saturday morning were as unique as 

the owners themselves. I met owners who had been 

passed down their cars as a part of their family inheritance, 

owners who had posters of their dream cars on 

their bedroom wall as kids, and owners who collected 

rare and exotic cars just because of how passionate 

they are about their interests. There were members 

who took their cars out to the racetrack regularly to 

let them truly breathe, while others kept them in spotless 

condition as their garage queen. It didn’t seem to 

matter which car they were driving was or how much it 

cost, every owner still stood proudly by their car. This 

was a gathering where socio-economic boundaries did 

not exist. Enthusiasts left their differences at home and 

came together for a unifying passion: their love for cars. 

I’ve been involved in the car scene for several years 

now, and I really have to say that nothing comes close 

to a PCA event. The sheer number of cars and the 

dedication of the volunteers who work countless hours 

to make these events possible does not go unnoticed. 

Ultimately however, it comes down to the passion of 

the owners, who wake up bright and early on a Saturday 

morning to share in their love for cars. Fifty-five 

years in, and the Maverick Region has only the sky as 

the limit. I can’t wait to see what comes next!

O 

n Saturday, December 2, the Plano 

Christmas Cops Program had a very special 

delivery of toys, clothes, baby items, 

gift cards, and even batteries for the over 

300 families they support each holiday season. 

Our Maverick Region had 82 cars gather at the 

Walmart parking lot off Dallas Parkway in Plano. 

Bill Kruder and Debi Gibson, along with a Christmas 

tree atop their 356, led us on a 10-mile drive 

to the Plano Police Department on 14th Street. 

To begin the drive, we had the help of the Plano 

PD to navigate traffic and get the entire group 

started together. Several stop lights along the 

route meant our group of 82 Porsches broke up 

into smaller groups, but that never reduced the 

amount of holiday cheer we all had to give. Some 

members dressed the part in holiday sweaters 

and Santa hats, although the spring-like weather 

could have supported holiday shorts instead. 

Even Rudolph’s nose and antlers joined in on the 

fun. Okay, that nose was placed by my husband 

Tom, who loves to celebrate the holidays! But I’m 

sure Rudolph and Santa would have approved of 

the effort. 

Reaching our destination, we were greeted by 

members of the Plano PD, who directed each and 

every one to drive through the drop off location 

where we were able to deposit our unwrapped 

presents. Over 250 donations and $1800 in gift 

cards were made to the Plano Christmas Cops 

families that day, including TeddyG, who stuck 

his head out of his ride’s sunroof for part of the 

drive. Thanks Jimmy and Phyllis Gallegos for 

transporting TeddyG to his final destination. 

Seeing the generosity from the members set 

the tone for the beginning of a joyous Holiday 

season for many families who otherwise might 

not have presents to give to their children and 

family members. The Maverick Region members 

are truly very generous and thoughtful.

Founders Day 2017: The 55th Edition was the Biggest Yet! 

By Carey Spreen, Region Secretary 

nyone who attended the Founders Day 

A 

banquet in 2012, Maverick Region’s 50th 

anniversary celebration, will remember that 

it was a big affair, with about 150 people 

in attendance in the Grand Ballroom at Texas Motor 

Speedway. 

Five years on, Founders Day 2017 broke that record 

handily, with almost 200 Mavericks enjoying their Saturday 

evening as guests of Texas Harley-Davidson in 

Bedford. The banquet was the final of three events, all 

held on December 2, celebrating Maverick Region’s 

55th anniversary. You read about the other two events 

on the previous two page in Slipstream, so this story will 

focus on the banquet. 

Traditionally, Founders Day has been a dressy affair, 

held in a restaurant or banquet room, where Maverick 

Region board members recognized the year’s achievements 

and milestones, and gave out an award or ten, 

while region members had drinks and dinner while 

mingling with friends new and old, some of whom they 

may not have seen since the previous Founders Day. A 

Silent Auction was usually part of the event, with the 

proceeds going to charity. 

This year, our Founders Day Committee, consisting 

of Social Co-Chairs Tracy Robertson and Debi Gibson, 

along with Mavs & Mochas Chair Bill Kruder, decided 

to try something new: a more casual affair at a distinctly 

non-traditional location. Good call on both counts! 

Texas Harley-Davidson was a unique venue, with lots 

of space for ogling vehicles of both two-wheeled and 

four-wheeled varieties. As the largest H-D dealer and 

showroom in Texas, the facility covers over 72,000 

square feet, with a large portion of that being the main 

showroom. Most of the bikes on display were relocated 

to make room for tables, but a few bikes remained on 

display, and a few times during the evening, one of the 

sales people fired one up, turning heads and pausing 

conversations. 

By now you may be wondering why a club that fancies 

little German cars and SUVs would hold an event 

at a motorcycle dealer. As it turns out, there are two 

connections. First, under the name “Revolution Engine”, 

in 2002 development partner Porsche Engineering 

designed and built a new V2 engine for the “V-Rod” 

model of the American motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson, 

their first water-cooled engine. Second, 

Adam Smith, who owns this and several other Harley 

dealerships, also owns a Carrera GT (yes, the one with 

the screaming V-10) and is a Maverick himself. Many 

thanks to Adam for graciously hosting our event! 

An open bar (yes, free drinks!) was a very popular 

feature of the evening, as was the meal, catered by Pecan 

Lodge, serving pulled pork and smoked chicken. 

And let’s not forget the all-natural popsicles for dessert, 

provided by Steel City Pops. 

The Silent Auction was of course a part of the evening, 

with 113 unique products and services just waiting 

to be bid upon. Another feature of recent Founders 

Days is the Photo of the Year contest, which consisted 

of 12 outstanding Porsche-related photographs taken 

by Mavericks throughout the past year. 

People’s Choice Top Ten Car Show. When was the 

last time you saw four 356s and a Carrera GT in the 

same place? Those five very unique Porsche models 

were joined by 200 other Mavericks and their Porsches. 

The results were listed on page 18. 

Photo of the Month contest. The following members, 

each of which were featured in one of the past 12 

issues of Slipstream, had their photo on 

display during the banquet. Founders 

Day attendees voted for their favorite, 

which turned out to be David Temming’s 

photo of a Black Porsche 911 

Cabriolet featured in the April 2017 

issue. You can view all twelve photos at

Beckie Gomer won the raffle for the Maverick Region 

logo quilt created by Ginger Heureman. 

And the big news of the evening was that the traditional 

(since 1976) Richard F. Selcer Memorial Award, 

which has been given to the Maverick (or pair of Mavericks) 

that went above and beyond for the club that 

year, has been retired. Replacing it is the James Shoffit 

Maverick of the Year award, in recognition of James’ 

many contributions over the years, not only to Maverick 

Region, and PCA Zone 5, but to the Porsche Club 

of America itself. 

The inaugural recipient of this award is Bill Orr, 

marketing guru extraordinaire, and all-around busy 

guy for the club. Bill’s accomplishments even for just 

this year are too many to mention in this article, but 

rest assured, he earned it.

Fun awards. Some obscure (and some not so obscure) 

recognition for some of our newer members 

added to the festivities: 

Matt Wilson: “Westside Story” 

(coordinates our Fort Worth area Mavs & Mochas) 

Greg Ward: “Father Knows Best” 

(brings his daughter, Lisa, to many Mav events) 

Carolle Liu: “Cone Killer” 

(new to autocrossing this year, Carolle hit NO cones!) 

Landon Stogner: “Father Knows Best” 

(brings his two sons to many Maverick events) 

Bob Molyneux: “The Buck Stops Here” 

(unfortunate deer meeting at the PCA Palooza) 

Bill Orr: “The Man Who Knows Too Much” 

(knows, or will find out, the answer to all things Porsche) 

Derrick Tate: “The Apprentice” 

(helps at most events since joining the club in April) 

Andrew Barber: “Candid Camera” 

(lending his camera and keen eye for composition at many 

Maverick events) 

To sum up: the best-attended and possibly the most 

unusual Founders Day celebration is in the history 

book. We hope you can join us next year to be a part of 

2018 history!

Maverick Autocross Program for 2018 

By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair 

Photos by LightSpeed Images 

he Maverick PCA Autocross 

program is a 

T 

low-risk way to learn 

and refine car control 

skills in any Porsche. It is an excellent 

way to learn car control skills 

that will come in handy every time 

you drive your Porsche to Mavs & 

Mochas, on our Tours, at Drivers’ 

Education events, and even when 

driving your other car. 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 pylon-marked course in 

the safety of a large parking lot, 

one car at a time, where your runs 

will be timed to the thousandth of 

a second. Unless you do something 

very unusual, the only risk to your 

car is contact with a rubber cone 

that can be easily cleaned off. 

Our region puts on events in 

partnership with the Equipe Rapide 

Sports Car Club (autocross.com) at 

sites like Lone Star Park in Grand 

Prairie and Mineral Wells Airpark, 

about 40 miles west of Fort Worth. 

This brings us a highly experienced 

team that puts on a first-class event, 

into which we get to include our 10 

PCA classes. 

Maverick autocrossers can always 

find some shade when taking 

a break between run groups 

Autocrossing is the most fun you can have in your Porsche in 60 seconds or less! 

There is an autocross school on 

Saturday, March 17 that will fill up 

quickly, so be sure to watch for this 

event to open. There are guided 

novice course walks at every event, 

ride along instructors are available, 

and you are encouraged to ride in 

the right seat with others to help accelerate 

your driving skills learning 

curve. 

Most Porsches can navigate the 

whole autocross 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, whether it 

is registration, tech inspection, or 

corner station duty, and enjoy an 

exciting assortment of interesting 

cars at speed. 

Registration is available on line 

or on site. Arrive about 8 am and 

bring a lunch or snacks with you, 

since there is not always an “official” 

lunch break. After tech inspection, 

walk the course on your own, 

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. Look for the 2018 

schedule elsewhere in every issue 

of Slipstream, on our website, and at 

autocross.com.

Gallegos’ Tour of the Porsche Museum 

By Jim Gallegos, Region Volunteers Chair 

Photos courtesy of the Author 

I 

t was a beautiful day in August, 2017 when 

Phyllis and I hailed a Mercedes-Benz taxi 

from Hotel Marin in Stuttgart, Germany 

and headed to the Porsche Museum. We 

had just spent ten 

wonderful days in 

Norway (Bergen, 

Flaum, Lom, and 

Oslo) visiting our 

Norwegian family 

(OK, I’m only 

related through 

my beautiful Norwegian 

wife, and 

contrary to popular 

belief I am not 

from southern 

Norway!). When 

we planned the 

Norway trip, we 

thought it would 

be great to end 

our adventure 

Dramatic sculpture welcomes visitors 

in Stuttgart at 

the Porsche Museum. 

The excitement of visiting the museum was like seeing 

Santa for the first time! Luckily, Phyllis was all in for 

a day-long tour of the Porsche museum. Yes, we spent 

the whole day there! 

We bought our first Porsche, 

a 1999 911 (996), black with the 

large aero kit (affectionately 

known as the “big taco”!) in 2014 

which ended up on the cover of 

the May 2015 Slipstream. I emailed 

George Luxbacher, who had taken 

the picture of the 911 aero kit 

and verified it was our car. What 

a thrill to end up on the cover of 

Slipstream. Coincidentally, it was at 

one of the first DFW Porsche Cars 

and Coffee events, organized by 

the one and only Tony Lisotta. We 

then purchased a 2005 Porsche 

911 997.1 from Park Place Porsche 

with a whopping 22K miles! 

Our museum tour started with 

meeting our personal guide early 

that morning. I wanted to hear 

every detail possible about Ferdinand 

Porsche and his wonderful 

Uta showing Phyllis a famous rally Porsche 

Jimmyg and Phyllis (right) with museum guide Uta 

legacy. Our guide Uta knew every detail about every 

Porsche in the museum. As she described the details, 

small crowds gathered to hear her extensive knowledge 

as we stopped at almost every car on display. I took over 

one hundred pictures! 

After our three hour tour was over, we ate lunch 

and had a glass of wine at the museum deli. I headed 

back into the museum for more 

pictures. We ended the day with a 

short visit to the Porsche dealership 

across the street. They had 

the best of the best Porsches on 

the showroom floor and were very 

welcoming. 

Yes, it was a trip of a lifetime 

that we hope to repeat in a few 

years. After all, you can never see 

enough of the Porsche product. 

We shared our pictures on Facebook 

and got rave reviews - be 

sure to take a look at those. If you 

get the chance, this is a visit not to 

be missed!

Around the Bend... 

By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor 

nd yet another new year is upon us - 

A 

welcome to 2018! As has been my habit for 

the past few January issues of Slipstream, I’m 

including some suggestions for your new 

year resolutions that might be a bit easier for you to 

keep than the list you’ve already created (and possibly 

broken if you’re like me). 

I’ll let Stirling Moss set some context for what 

follows: “Motion is tranquility.” 

* Bring joy and excitement to yourself and those 

around you by driving your Porsche each day, week, 

month, or as often as you can. 

* Participate in at least one more Maverick and/or 

PCA event than you did in 2017. 

* Take photograph(s) and write an article about 

your first, favorite, or most recent Porsche experience 

for Slipstream. 

* Our club is built on volunteers and is the epitome 

of the PCA motto: “It’s not just the cars, it’s the 

people”. In fact, take a moment in this new year 

and look again at page 4 and familiarize yourself 

with the many members who are volunteering 

in ongoing roles to ensure the Maverick Region 

offers events and activities that meet the interests of all 

of our members. 

* If you’ve enjoyed participating in our Region 

events in the past, please consider if you’re now ready 

to give back to the club by volunteering in one of many 

events that can always use an extra hand (or two). Send 

an email to volunteers@mavpca.org with your interest. 

* While you are online, why not sharpen your Porsche 

trivia skills by challenging yourself to either know, or 

find, the answer to the many interesting questions 

Jerry DeFeo provides each month. The Trivia quizzes 

can be found under the News tab on the club website. 

* Take an open-ended, or even fully planned, road 

trip. For ideas, look no further than the five Maverick 

members who shared their recent experiences 

attending the PCA Palooza in Eureka Springs this 

November on pages 6-8 in this issue. As you can see, 

there are plenty of interesting roads to drive and sites 

to see in the route to and from Palooza, in
