SPROCKETS: Packing a 911 for the Porsche Parade<br />

By David Robertson, Region President<br />

If you haven’t been lucky enough to attend a Porsche<br />

Parade, just imagine around 900 Porsches from every<br />

conceivable model line and vintage, comprised of<br />

over 1500 PCA members and families, along with an<br />

entourage of PCNA and Porsche AG executives and<br />

associated vendors all in one spot for a week. That is<br />

the scene at Porsche Parade, and it is spectacular! For<br />

those of you that are unfamiliar, Parade is an annual<br />

gathering of the PCA for a week of events that include<br />

both casual and competitive driving and concours,<br />

tours, banquets, lots of events for children, and even a<br />

PCA member art show and golf tournament!<br />

As I previously mentioned, last year in Spokane,<br />

Tracy and I flew up and rented a car. Although we<br />

ended up with a Mustang convertible due to a rental<br />

counter glitch that worked in my favor for the first time<br />

ever, there is still something just not quite right when<br />

you don’t have a Porsche at a major PCA event.<br />

This year, with a comparatively short eight-hour<br />

drive to Lake of the Ozarks, and over 60 Maverick<br />

Region members registered, it was a no-brainer to pack<br />

up the 911 and hit the road. Packing a 911 for a weeklong<br />

active trip sounds daunting at first, but as the<br />

process started moving along and items were fitted in to<br />

every nook and cranny of the car, I was very impressed<br />

with the amount of “stuff” we were able to fit.<br />

Two suitcases, two backpacks, two full sets of golf<br />

clubs, and a couple of bags full of various “why not, we<br />

are not flying” type items. The moment of truth came<br />

when we went to pack the 911 back up for the trip<br />

home. Laid out in the hotel room were not only all the<br />

items listed above but all of the great items that you get<br />

when you are at Parade, including lots of cool stuff from<br />

Porsche and other vendors, giveaways during the events,<br />

and items purchased from the Parade Store. There<br />

were also really cool -- but really bulky and fragile --<br />

trophies that we were very fortunate to receive this year.<br />

As I surveyed these items that seemed to<br />

be stacked up in the hotel room as if in an<br />

overstocked warehouse club, my first thought<br />

was that there is absolutely no way all this<br />

stuff is getting home with us in that car.<br />

Well to my surprise, after some trial and error and<br />

discovery of little spaces good for stuffing one shoe or<br />

a couple of T-shirts here and there, everything fit and it<br />

was a comfortable ride.<br />

With the conversations I had during Parade week<br />

with people on the National Executive Committee and<br />

other region members, I can tell you that the Maverick<br />

Region is getting a lot of attention for the great things<br />

2 <strong>August</strong><br />

our event volunteers are doing. As name after name was<br />

called for either a national award or an event win or<br />

place I couldn’t help but feel what an honor it is to be<br />

the President of the Maverick Region PCA!<br />

MAV OF THE MONTH: John Sandusky<br />

John Sandusky is a<br />

quiet behind-the-scenes<br />

contributor to our Maverick<br />

Region. He has led the<br />

instructors at our Drivers’<br />

Education for more than<br />

a decade as our Chief<br />

Driving Instructor. When<br />

his boys were younger,<br />

they were each pressed<br />

into service as front gate<br />

keepers at our driving<br />

events (not a lot of fun at<br />

6:30 am for a teenager).<br />

Always working to<br />

protect the safety of our drivers and coaches, he has<br />

been open to new ideas and adjustments while ensuring<br />

the fun and safe etiquette of our track-driving program.<br />

Thank you, John, for everything you do for the<br />

Maverick Region! Enjoy your $75.00 gift certificate<br />

compliments of Autobahn Porsche.

<strong>2018</strong> ABCDE Car Show<br />

By Pat Carmichael<br />

photos by Richard Cross and Jim Hirsch<br />

Another All British and European<br />

Car Day, or as they promoted,<br />

the ABCDE(??), has come and<br />

gone. (Hmmm, “ABCDE.” Not<br />

sure how they came up with that<br />

designation, but it works.) The<br />

Maverick Region Porsche Club had<br />

over 40 cars in attendance, which<br />

was by far the best participation<br />

of any participating brand. Way to<br />

go Mavericks!!<br />

Once again the venue, a star<br />

attraction of this event, made for an<br />

enjoyable experience. Coupling the<br />

lake, the hills, and the wonderfully<br />

big shady trees for us to hang out<br />

under in our little foldable chairs,<br />

along with a couple of hundred<br />

interesting cars, made this event<br />

what well-attended.<br />

There was a full array of vehicles,<br />

from the well-known to the seldomseen<br />

emblems, some ultra-rare:<br />

there were Alphas, Bugattis, MGs,<br />

Jags, VWs, Porsches, Austins,<br />

Rolls, Bentleys, Minis, Mercedes,<br />

Citroens, BMWs, Opels, Ferraris,<br />

Fiats, and many more, most of which<br />

I had no idea what they were. This<br />

made for frequent conversations<br />

asking, “What is<br />

this?” and then<br />

the interesting<br />

conversations,<br />

all of which<br />

added to the fun!<br />

Speaking of fun,<br />

the food trucks<br />

were there:<br />

Mini donuts, Ice<br />

cream, Carnitas<br />

Tacos, and every<br />

kind of egg<br />

sandwich you<br />

could think of.<br />

Yum!!<br />

An interesting<br />

part of this car<br />

show is that it<br />

is experienced not only by us car<br />

enthusiasts, but also the standard<br />

throng of weekenders that jog, bike<br />

and stroll through White Rock<br />

Lake Park. The lake people were<br />

there in full force. Thousands made<br />

their way through the long winding<br />

corridors of cars.<br />

We also saw just about every<br />

type of bicycle<br />

engineering<br />

currently<br />

available: pedaling<br />

with their feet,<br />

hands, or both;<br />

standard upright<br />

positions, prone;<br />

single rider, dual<br />

riders, no baby,<br />

with baby, with<br />

dog, without<br />

dog, etc . . . Did<br />

I say there were a<br />

lot of kids?<br />

The “car show”<br />

is a judged event.<br />

The car show participants vote for<br />

their favorites of each brand. The<br />

voting goes on during the morning<br />

early afternoon. This brings the<br />

Above: Alan Bambina’s 1962 356 Roadster.<br />

enthusiasts up close and personal,<br />

perusing the cars, looking for the<br />

details of distinction: how clean,<br />

how original, how rare, or if they<br />

are just “cool.” Here’s the outcome<br />

of the Porsche voting:<br />

First<br />

Alan Bambina<br />

1962 356 Roadster<br />

Second Ziad Blaik<br />

1981 928S EURO<br />

Third Rob W.<br />

1973 914S<br />

This year’s show is in the record<br />

books and we can all look forward<br />

to next year!!<br />

Porsche Promenade: It’s never too hot for Mavericks<br />

By Mike Mahoney<br />

pphotos by Bill Middleton,<br />

So how hot is it? Does it really matter? Not to our Texas<br />

tough Maverick’s it doesn’t! Don’t get me wrong - Sunday<br />

afternoon on June 24 was no exception. Regardless of the<br />

heat we had a great showing at <strong>2018</strong>’s 2nd People’s Choice<br />

Car Show. Close to 50 enthusiasts brought their precious<br />

Porsche’s to Lakeside Market in Plano to compete in the<br />

Summer show. From 356s to Carrera GT and GT2RS we<br />

had some beautiful cars to peruse and vote as one of your<br />

top 10 favorites.<br />

The People’s Choice show is a lot of fun. There is no<br />

pressure. Just bring your car, hang out with your friends,<br />

and vote for your favorites. The top 10 favorites win an<br />

award. The Maverick Region holds two People’s Choice<br />

shows and two top down show and shine shows per year.<br />

Kruder’s Cars & Conversation<br />

By Bill Kruder<br />

photos courtesy of Rob Adams<br />

Once again -- you guessed it – this<br />

person and I met at an “impromptu”<br />

at Lakeside in Plano about two<br />

years ago. Many of you will know<br />

his car, particularly the ‘94 968; it’s<br />

been Porsche of the Month and on<br />

the cover of <strong>Slipstream</strong>. He has also<br />

been a contributor to <strong>Slipstream</strong>,<br />

and when it came time to celebrate<br />

the 25th Anniversary of the 968, he<br />

managed to round up more 968s<br />

than many of us will ever see in our<br />

lifetime, all in one place.<br />

So here is the next in my series of<br />

“conversations” I would like to<br />

share with you . . .<br />

Rob Adams, Enthusiast since 2002,<br />

Owner 1988 911 coupe and 1994<br />

968 coupe<br />

12 <strong>August</strong><br />

Bill Kruder: You sound like you<br />

might be from here?<br />

Rob Adams: No, I was actually born<br />

in Japan; my dad was a pilot in<br />

the Army Air Corps, so we moved<br />

around a lot. I was only in Japan<br />

for a year, then we moved to<br />

Virginia for a bit. Our next stop was<br />

Germany, followed by Alabama,<br />

then to Brownwood, Texas. That’s<br />

where I went to high school, so I<br />

guess I call that home.<br />

BK: How about College then?<br />

RA: I really wanted to go to UT in<br />

Austin, but my dad thought that<br />

was too much of a party school<br />

(laughing), so I<br />

went to Howard<br />

Payne University;<br />

it’s a small private<br />

Baptist school in<br />

Brownwood.<br />

BK: I understand<br />

you had an<br />

interesting college<br />

job?<br />

RA: Oh yes I did.<br />

Kohler Bath has a<br />

pretty big operation<br />

in Brownwood.<br />

Dad thought it<br />

would be a good<br />

idea to earn a living<br />

while going to<br />

school, so I was in<br />

the factory where<br />

they manufactured<br />

toilets. My job was<br />

in quality control<br />

and I tested the<br />

toilets by dropping<br />

objects in them<br />

to ensure they<br />

worked. We were affectionately<br />

known as “turd testers” (laughing).<br />

BK: Oh gosh not sure where to go<br />

from there (laughing), but then<br />

what happened?<br />

RA: Well I left there for a small<br />

bank. Later I joined a bank in<br />

Midland; this was 1981 when oil<br />

was booming. I truly thought I had<br />

landed in a great spot at the right<br />

time, but little did I know: about<br />

the day after I arrived it all came<br />

crashing down. I was in the retail<br />

side of things and I managed to last<br />

about seven years.<br />

BK: So how did you end up in Dallas?<br />

RA: As luck would have it, the bank<br />

president in Midland moved to<br />

Dallas. I knew him pretty well, and<br />

in 1988 he offered me a job here.<br />

BK: Is this the same bank you work<br />

for now?<br />

RA: No -- I moved a few times.<br />

Today I’m with BBVA as a private<br />

banker in the Wealth Management<br />

area, where I manage some 50<br />

clients with my team.<br />

BK: Where did your interests in cars<br />

come from?<br />

RA: When I was 13 my dad built a<br />

dune buggy. Dad was a fanatic about<br />

building and later restoring cars,<br />

so my brother Jerry and I were his<br />

team. As I recall, Jerry, being older,<br />

was the hands on the wrenches with<br />

him, and I was the guy cleaning and<br />

scrubbing the parts. I look back at<br />

that and think it’s what gave me<br />

the understanding of what the parts<br />

actually did and why.<br />

BK: Where did the Porsche thing<br />

come from?<br />

RA: My dad bought Jerry and me,<br />

for our first car, a 70 VW Bug.<br />

Let’s clarify: he bought it and we<br />

paid him back every penny -- it was<br />

more like a loan. So I guess that was<br />

the start of the German air-cooled<br />

thing for me. My dad also always<br />

admired Porsche and came close to<br />

buying one in Germany. Then years<br />

later he took me to the local dealer


to look at them. I guess he still deep<br />

down wanted one but it was not<br />

practical with the kids and all, so<br />

we just looked.<br />

BK: So when did you first drive one?<br />

RA: Oh, I still remember that day it<br />

1977. I was driving a red Trans Am<br />

and went to Bob Miller Porsche in<br />

Austin where they had just received<br />

the Martini Edition of the 924,<br />

so I took it for a test drive. Well,<br />

I couldn’t shake the desire to drive<br />

another, so some time later I went<br />

back to test drive a 911. Well, he<br />

gladly threw me the keys to the<br />

924, but for the 911 he said “jump<br />

in, I drive” (laughing).<br />

BK: When did you finally own one?<br />

RA: It was a long time coming;<br />

actually I was about to buy a Harley.<br />

My wife, M’Lynn, said “you’re not<br />

a Harley guy, you’re a sports car<br />

guy,” so heck, I bought a 911.<br />

BK: Now I’ve heard there is more to<br />

the story?<br />

RA: So this was 2002. We bought<br />

from a place in Rockwall. It seemed<br />

like a great car, but shortly thereafter<br />

we had to have the engine rebuilt.<br />

We loved that car but only had it<br />

for about two years. We ended up<br />

selling to a club member, Chris<br />

Summers. Chris and I are friends<br />

today. We would see each other two<br />

to three times a year, and every time<br />

I saw the car I wanted it back. Well<br />

fast forward about 12 years, and<br />

Chris was ready to buy something<br />

new, so I bought my car back; this<br />

was March of 2017.<br />

BK: Now tell me about the 968?<br />

RA: In spring of 2011 I saw a<br />

black 968 and loved the look of<br />

it. Because of the small production<br />

runs I thought it would be a cool<br />

car to have. So I did some research,<br />

learning all I could, and almost<br />

bought two others before this one,<br />

but neither could pass the PPI. So I<br />

was looking on eBay and found this<br />

beautiful ‘94 in Springdale, AR, so<br />

we went up, checked it out, and<br />

shipped it back.<br />

BK: Let’s go back to the 911. I<br />

know there was a special moment<br />

with your dad?<br />

RA: Gosh it was, it was in 2002. We<br />

bought the 911 for first time. My<br />

Dad was up for a visit and we went<br />

out for a drive. Well after a bit, I<br />

just pulled over and said “Dad, you<br />

drive.” So we do the walk around,<br />

he gets in and all those decades later,<br />

always wanting to own a Porsche,<br />

he was finally getting his first drive.<br />

Maverick Marktpreis: Porsche Values<br />

by Peter Wen<br />

Porsche valuation is a highly interested topic to many<br />

enthusiasts and collectors. Whether we want to admit it<br />

or not, our Porsches are investments. We want them to<br />

hold their value, and perhaps even appreciate over time.<br />

In this new <strong>Slipstream</strong> feature, Maverick Marktpreis,<br />

we highlight actual recent auction results to keep you<br />

abreast of the latest activities.<br />

This month we take a close look at 911 Turbo from the<br />

997.1 generation. Total 911 magazine suggested 997 is<br />

the best generation of 911 in an op-ed piece last year.<br />

The famed twin-turbo 3.6L Mezger engine, rated at<br />

480 hp, is good for 3.9 seconds, 0-60 mph acceleration<br />

time. Excellence magazine’s Porsche Buyer’s Guide<br />

offered these price ranges:<br />

Turbo Coupe (2007-09) - $60,000-$75,000<br />

Turbo Cabriolet (2008-09) - $65,000-$80,000<br />

997.1 911 Turbo<br />

Technical Specficiations<br />

Similar to the 997 Carrera 4S<br />

body, but with extra intakes at the<br />

front and sides. It essentially had<br />

the 996 Turbo engine, but with<br />

all-new twin turbos and Variable<br />

Turbine Geometry (VTG) that<br />

effectively gave the best of both<br />

small and large turbochargers.<br />

A Tale of Two Boxsters<br />

By Joann Talty<br />

My husband had a self-imposed annual sales goal. I had<br />

known of this goal since I met him, but assumed it would<br />

take time. In December 2013, he reached his goal and<br />

began a lengthy search for his reward. Night after night, he<br />

shopped for Boxsters on Cars.com and Autotrader. After<br />

researching IMS bearing issues in older models, he quickly<br />

realized his dream Boxster would be newer than planned.<br />

While he hunted, I panicked. Where will we put a<br />

third car? Are we buying a new house with a three-car<br />

garage too? Why a manual? Between his knee replacement<br />

and my spinal fusion, that won’t be fun. Where will he<br />

take this car? Does he really need a third car to run to<br />

the golf course and Starbucks? I offered alternative<br />

reward ideas – most of them vacation destinations.<br />

20 <strong>August</strong><br />

photos provided by author<br />

Nearly a year passed, and Pat hadn’t found his car.<br />

He missed out on at least five cars because they weren’t<br />

as advertised, or he called too late. When 2014 ended, he<br />

reached his annual sales goal again, and I eased up on the<br />

questioning. I wasn’t getting anywhere anyway. Instead, I<br />

focused on what I do best and shared my input on cars<br />

he considered. My color commentary clearly annoyed him.<br />

In April 2014, he showed me a Carmona Red 2007<br />

Boxster S, and I found it very attractive. Since turning<br />

a corner months ago, I encouraged him to act quickly. I<br />

applauded his patience and commitment to his budget.<br />

He negotiated a deal on the phone, hired a mechanic for<br />

a pre-purchase inspection, and booked a flight. Two days<br />

later, he flew to Savannah and drove home in his brandnew<br />

toy, so excited he forgot to pack his sunscreen and hat.<br />

I didn’t accompany him much the first six weeks, but Pat<br />

was lovin’ life. He showed it off to friends, lovingly handwashed<br />

it, and gave me the coveted left side of the garage<br />

(enabling him to park frighteningly close to the right wall to<br />

open his door far enough.) He claimed no knee pain getting<br />

in and out or driving. He suggested a two day road trip to<br />

visit Texas wineries, dine on wood-fired pizza under the<br />

stars, and play golf in Oklahoma. Who can turn that down?<br />

Top down the entire trip, my long locks tangled within<br />

the first hour. I learned to never wear it down. We enjoyed<br />

curvy country roads and conversations with car guys. I<br />

began to appreciate the Boxster and wanted to drive it.<br />

He taught me golf -- surely he could teach me to drive<br />

a six-speed. Instead, he suggested Sears driving school.<br />

Soon after, we entered an empty church lot on a Sunday<br />

afternoon. I spotted a boy in a Jeep learning parallel<br />

parking between cones.<br />

Perhaps he envied me<br />

zooming about the lot,<br />

shifting all the way up<br />

to fourth gear. Only<br />

once did Pat nearly<br />

pee his pants when<br />

I downshifted from<br />

fourth to third and heard<br />

a millisecond grind as I<br />

mistakenly put it in first.<br />

A month later, we<br />

took a more significant<br />

road trip. We packed<br />

two sets of clubs in the<br />

trunk with a garment<br />

bag of wedding<br />

formalwear. In the<br />

frunk, we loaded two<br />

suitcases, two backpacks, and golf shoes. A lunchsize<br />

cooler of water fit underneath my knees in the<br />

passenger seat, along with plenty of sunscreen and hats.<br />

For ten days we spent roughly 30 hours in the car:<br />

Dallas – Denver – Durango – Santa Fe – Albuquerque –<br />

Dallas. I nervously drove two hours of this trip when he<br />

tired, and surprisingly, nothing hurt. Upon our return,<br />

I admit I fully turned the corner. I loved this Boxster!<br />

We joined the Porsche Club and enjoyed PCA tours.<br />

Pat experienced the thrill of DE weekends. More and<br />

more of our life was now centered around this car, and<br />

2016 flew by. At some point, I suggested I should have<br />

a Boxster too. He proposed it should be a reward for<br />

a goal I set, and slowly began to browse car ads again.<br />

Upon reviewing the 2017 PCA tour calendar<br />

and comparing it to Pat’s golf schedule, he decided<br />

we wouldn’t do the Fortunata Winery Tour so he


could play in a tournament. “Maybe you won’t<br />

be doing the Fortunate Winery Tour,” I replied.<br />

Several seconds passed before he agreed to work with<br />

me and help me overcome my fear of inclines – specifically,<br />

complete stops on inclines with a car close behind. He also<br />

insisted I take a friend who could drive a manual if I ran into<br />

problems. I agreed. For four months, I begged to drive every<br />

errand. He compared me to a teenager begging for the car.<br />

Next came solo driving. On days off, I’d ask for the<br />

car for errands, but he’d have to back it out of the garage<br />

so I wouldn’t take the mirror off. Soon, he taught me to<br />

maneuver it out, but I couldn’t do it as gracefully as he in<br />

two steps. Sometimes, I’d be on the grass for the correct<br />

angle to exit our narrow driveway gate. My next phase<br />

really annoyed him: asking to borrow his beloved Boxster<br />

when he traveled. This may have lit a fire under Pat. He<br />

began to regularly check sites for automatic Boxsters.<br />

On my birthday, I pulled Pat out of his office in the<br />

middle of the day to test drive a brand-new Boxster 718. I<br />

loved the commercials, and it frequently popped up on my<br />

Facebook feed. I considered it a sign that I must have one.<br />

I immediately noticed the turbo four didn’t have the same<br />

rumble as the flat six, and the trunk was too small for golf<br />

clubs. It also scared me. As I drove around Plano for 30<br />

minutes, all I could think was, “Please . . . nobody hit me.”<br />

I drove the tour in Pat’s car with my neighbor<br />

(who can’t drive a manual) and had a blast. I killed<br />

the engine at a stop once, but I hit 104 mph in the<br />

sweep position without scaring her. Proud that I kept<br />

up with my group, I KNEW I needed my own car.<br />

Feeling more comfortable in a six-speed, I wondered<br />

if I’d miss out on part of the fun with an automatic.<br />

I asked Pat to include manual vehicles in his search.<br />

Last June on a Friday night, he handed me his iPad to<br />

view 32 photos of a blue 2011 Boxster. Blue?? I did not want<br />

blue. I didn’t want black, red, grey, white, or silver either.<br />

I had my heart set on orange or yellow, but most of<br />

them came with black interiors. No menopausal<br />

woman needs a black interior in Texas heat.<br />

I thumbed through the pictures, loving the sand<br />

interior, wheels, and brown soft-top. The total package<br />

seemed to work, and this car resided in Texas. One<br />

problem: this Boxster was a base model, not an S.<br />

Pat called the dealer on Saturday, drove five hours to<br />

see it Monday, and by midweek, it was mine. While I<br />

wasn’t patient enough to wait for a Boxster S, I do enjoy<br />

saying, “I have the sexy one -- he has the fast one.”<br />

Autocross Event 5: Mineral Wells<br />

By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair<br />

Eight women driving Porsches (out of 14 Porsche entries)<br />

made up the majority of the drivers at our June 17 event.<br />

A total of 72 entries came out to face the heat, but the<br />

intermittent cloud cover helped a lot. The PCA group also<br />

enjoyed Scott Wolthuis’ open sided trailer shade.<br />

The Equipe Rapide team set up a long, fast, and technical<br />

course. The setup crew did a very nice job marking<br />

and cleaning off the driving surface before and between<br />

run groups.<br />

Quickest in the Porsche performance index was Steve<br />

Farnham (Hill Country Region) in the Speed Yellow<br />

Cayman GT4, came all the way from Georgetown, TX,<br />

for this event with his wife Sherry. Second and third quick<br />

index were Mark and Sigrid Schnoerr in the family 914.<br />

Scott Wolthuis in his 1975 911S and Carey Spreen in his<br />

1987 924S were very close this time.<br />

Ed Mayo was putting down a terrific first run when his<br />

914 decided it was time for a new wiring harness and shut<br />

down right before the finish line. Julia did not get to drive,<br />

although Mark and Sigrid offered up their 914 to keep<br />

them in the hunt. Ed’s car was flatbedded home. At least<br />

Ed knows a great mechanic and shop to do the repair!<br />

Mavs & Mochas: Stonebriar Community Church<br />

By Debi Kruder<br />

photos by Jim Hirsch, Bill Kruder, Peter Wen<br />

This month, Mavs & Mochas met under clear blue<br />

skies in Frisco, TX at Stonebriar Community Church,<br />

where the “Big Kids” brought out nearly 120 of their<br />

cool Porsches. To make the morning even more fun, our<br />

very own Mav PCA member Ajai Cadambi made a special<br />

appearance with his new red Ford GT Heritage Edition,<br />

which was eye candy for both the young and old. Setting<br />

the tone for what was about to take place inside, the third<br />

annual Stonebriar Grand Prix was about to begin!<br />

If you have not attended this car event, it’s one of our<br />

favorites of the season, with the cars outside averaging<br />

170 inches in length, and the rigs inside at a maximum<br />

of seven inches. Nearly 160 pinewood derby cars took<br />

the track, and the race for speed began, with each car<br />

racing in four heats (one on each track) and computermonitored<br />

software and timer calculating the fastest of<br />

their four times. More than 300 people cheered on the<br />

races, enjoying Steel City Pops and delicious sandwiches<br />

and burgers from The Eggcellent Café food truck. Thanks<br />

to Stonebriar for the complimentary Hope Coffee, and to<br />

Park Place Porsche for the plentiful Krispy Kreme doughnuts.<br />

Back outside, the fun continued as we featured nearly<br />

a dozen Cayennes celebrating their 15th anniversary.<br />

Park Place Porsche showcased a new <strong>2018</strong> model, and<br />

what a surprise when Steve Bukoski, president of the<br />

Lone Star Region, pulled in to sport his Cayenne too!<br />

With cold bottles of water, Hope Coffee, cold popsicles,<br />

and 275 rigs both big and small, it truly was a morning<br />

of driving friendships with our neighbors around the<br />

Metroplex and beyond!<br />

Here, There, and Everywhere: The Revolver Tour<br />

By Brant Worrell, Tours Co-Chair<br />

photos by Bill Orr<br />

If you like beer and Porsches, then the fourth<br />

Maverick Tour of <strong>2018</strong> was for you! Heck, even if you<br />

don’t like beer, this tour was for you!<br />

The “Here, There and Everywhere” Revolver<br />

Tour took place on Saturday, June 23, and ended at<br />

Revolver Brewing in Granbury. This particular tour had<br />

something for everybody: hills, valleys, turns, twists,<br />

long straightaways, country driving, city driving, great<br />

weather, good music, good food, and did I mention<br />

really good beer?<br />

The day started in Weatherford with 86 cars -- yes,<br />

I said 86 Porsches – on a June tour along with 156<br />

occupants! The tour wound its way through the towns<br />

of Dennis, Allison, Morgan Hill, and Paluxy, to name<br />

a few, before arriving in Granbury. In between the<br />

beginning and end, we covered 87.4 miles, for a total<br />

of 7,516 miles driven by those 86 lucky Porschephiles.<br />

Helping herd all of us were nine excellent group leader<br />

drivers, who included Derrick Tate, Brant Worrell (me),<br />

Tom Gomer, Sam Bryant, Scott Garwood, Jay Lynch,<br />

Mark Pitarresi (Tours Co-Chair), Karl Poulsen, and Ed<br />

Martelle. Thank you all for your help safely guiding<br />

everyone to the end and without any tickets!<br />

A big thanks to Karen Poulsen for helping us<br />

get everyone signed in! Once drivers and occupants<br />

arrived at Revolver Brewing, they were treated to<br />

their own private parking area away from the white<br />

gravel of the standard parking lot, and things only got<br />

better from there! A $10 admission got you a logo pint<br />

glass, beer tastings (for those over 21, of course), live<br />

music, and a tour given by one of Revolver Brewing’s<br />

genius (their words not mine) brewers. The food was<br />

provided by Taco Guy. Good things were said about<br />

their awesome street tacos, chimichangas, and the<br />

like. If you were in the mood for German food, after<br />

a beer, that could be had down the road at Ketzler’s<br />

Schnitzel Haus and Biergarten.<br />

Overall, the fourth Maverick Tour of <strong>2018</strong> brought<br />

out a lot of Porsches and a lot of smiles on those who<br />

participated. Some tour veterans even went so far as to<br />

say this was their favorite tour ever, with the great mix<br />

of roads and our fun destination.<br />

The next Maverick Tour is Sunday, September 23,<br />

and will end at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, TX.<br />

It is our annual charity drive, so stay tuned for more<br />

details to follow soon. Mark and I hope to see you all<br />

there in September to support a great cause!<br />

Drivers’ Education at COTA: <strong>2018</strong> HPDE By<br />

By Wade Ledbetter<br />

photos by Andrew Barber<br />

As Porsche owners, PCA gives us the unique<br />

opportunity through the High Performance Driver<br />

Education (HPDE) program to take our cars out to a<br />

track and drive them how they were meant to be driven.<br />

We’re blessed with a number of great tracks within a<br />

day’s drive of the Maverick Region. Our own “home”<br />

track at MotorSport Ranch (MSR) in Cresson is an<br />

excellent place to develop and hone your skills. The<br />

crown jewel of road course tracks in the area, however,<br />

is undoubtedly Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in<br />

Austin, TX.<br />

I have driven HPDE events with PCA for a little over<br />

a year, all of them at MSR Cresson. This was my first<br />

opportunity to take my car and skills to COTA. I had<br />

heard the track was very fast. What I did not understand<br />

before driving it, was how deceivingly fast it is. With a<br />

wide path and huge run-off areas designed for Formula<br />

1 speeds, the perception of speed is much different than<br />

what we see at all the other tracks in the area. It took a<br />

bit of adjustment to get the feel for the cornering speeds<br />

on such a different track.<br />

One of the great advantages of HPDE events,<br />

and PCA in general, is the ability to socialize with<br />

other PCA members around a common interest:<br />

the love for great cars and driving enjoyment.<br />

It’s a natural bond, regardless of background or career<br />

path. Prior to this event, I posted on our Maverick<br />

Facebook page that I was looking for someone to take<br />

my track tires down to COTA. One of our fellow<br />

members, Arthur Greenstein, was making his first trip<br />

ever to an HPDE event and offered to help me out. That<br />

led to a great opportunity to socialize and share<br />

experiences over the course of the weekend, and we’ve<br />

talked several times since. He’s now hooked on HPDE<br />

just like me!<br />

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor<br />

By Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor<br />

The names and places have been changed to protect<br />

the innocent, and others.<br />

I was talking to my, um, “brother” the other day<br />

about teaching his eldest to drive. To my surprise, she<br />

wants to learn to drive a manual. What a novelty. These<br />

days it seems like we should be excited that kids want<br />

to learn to drive at all. But we live in Texas and God<br />

willing, we’ll be driving long after it’s fashionable.<br />

Like bluebonnets and Ruby Red grapefruit. I know,<br />

I like them too.<br />

After we discussed the finer points of hiring<br />

a driving school rather than keep all that joy to<br />

ourselves, it reminded me of the first time I taught<br />

someone to drive. This story does not end well, so if<br />

you’re squeamish, look away now. It all started one<br />

fateful afternoon when my wife came home and told<br />

me one of her team members asked if I would teach<br />

her daughter to drive. You know, because I was a<br />

car guy. I reluctantly agreed, and the lessons began.<br />

We started in the high school parking lot with cones<br />

and the usual finger pointing and deep breathing. We<br />

progressed past parking and reversing and I found<br />

myself nowhere to go but the open road. I laugh<br />

now when I see a young person drive through a red<br />

light with a wide-eyed, open-mouthed parent at their<br />

right. At the time, not so much. But we managed to<br />

arrive home after each lesson more or less intact, and<br />

eventually I pronounced her ready for her driving test.<br />

And that was that. She was soon a licensed driver. But<br />

you know that wasn’t how it ended, don’t you?<br />

Fast forward maybe three weeks and we were<br />

sitting in church at a wedding with her mother, when<br />

she got a phone call, stood up and left. Huh, must’ve<br />

been important. Understatement. Her daughter was<br />

coming home from her first solo drive out of town,<br />

and decided to text her mother that she was home.<br />

While she was still driving. In her neighborhood.<br />

What she had forgotten was that the road in front of<br />

her house curved. She hit her neighbors mailbox and<br />

rolled the car. Right in front of her house. I helped her<br />

father right the mailbox. Good times. So it makes me<br />

wonder if the kids have gottenx it right. Either that or<br />

they could put their phones down and drive.<br />

Good luck little brother - Enjoy the Drive!<br />
