SPROCKETS: Getting to Know You<br />

By David Robertson, Region President<br />

Driving Friendships. This is the tagline for our<br />

club, and the longer I am a member, the more I<br />

realize how true this statement is. I often talk about<br />

our amazing events and the record participation<br />

we are seeing these days, but the people in this club<br />

and the friendships I have made are really what<br />

makes being a member of the Maverick Region so<br />

great for me. Little did I know when I joined years<br />

ago, that not only was I able to get my Porsche on a<br />

track to realize what a great piece of engineering it<br />

is, but I have also met an amazing group of people<br />

and continue to do so.<br />

As the Maverick Region President, I have<br />

the honor of speaking to or communicating<br />

via email with many of our members in the<br />

course of club business. One of the great<br />

joys of my role has been getting to know<br />

members that have been around for many<br />

years, those that have just joined the club,<br />

and everyone in between.<br />

Pretty much everyone! I have all types of<br />

conversations. From great news on what we are<br />

doing right and equally valued input on where<br />

improvements could be made to make our club<br />

even better. I welcome all of this discussion because<br />

input from our members is how the Maverick<br />

Region continues to grow and thrive.<br />

There are so many great people in this club<br />

from all different walks of life, each with a unique<br />

story to tell. We all have a common interest<br />

that brings us together, and in this age of online<br />

interactions, maybe that gives us a good excuse<br />

to have a true conversation.<br />

During my time in this club I have gotten to<br />

know many of you and I look forward to meeting<br />

as many of our members as I can catch up with.<br />

When at an event I always try to introduce myself<br />

to members I don’t know, but if I don’t make it to<br />

you first please come over and say hi.<br />

MAV OF THE MONTH: Jerry DeFeo<br />

<strong>September</strong> marks Jerry’s 20-year anniversary in<br />

the Maverick PCA. Long before Jerry became<br />

known as our Region trivia expert, he was an<br />

advertiser in <strong>Slipstream</strong> promoting his “Jerry<br />

DeFeo New Home Designs” business. His tagline<br />

“Have You Ever Wished that You Could Find<br />

Someone that Took as Much Care to Design Your<br />

Construction Project as Porsche Took to Design<br />

Your Favorite Car?” still resonates with today’s<br />

Porsche owner. Our first Maverick Trivia contest<br />

can be found in the<br />

February 2002 issue.<br />

That’s thousands of<br />

Maverick Region<br />

members that Jerry<br />

has stumped over<br />

the years with his<br />

interesting questions<br />

that challenge any<br />

Porschephile. If you<br />

have not tried the<br />

trivia contest, you<br />

need to start with<br />

the <strong>September</strong><br />

version that can be<br />

found online along<br />

with answers and questions to the previous contest<br />

in this issue. The trivia contest is a great way to test<br />

your Porsche knowledge. You will learn something<br />

each month! Jerry, thank you for all of your work<br />

with the Maverick Region over the last 20 years.<br />

DIY: Refreshing Your Interior Trim<br />

By Tom Martin<br />

If you have a Sand Beige interior<br />

in your 9X7 Porsche (911, Cayman,<br />

Boxster), then you’ve probably<br />

noticed areas on the trim that are<br />

worn or chipped, exposing the<br />

underlying black plastic. You’ve<br />

also noticed that it is quite ugly and<br />

detracts from the overall appearance<br />

of the cabin. Porsche utilized a “soft<br />

touch” paint here, which, as far as I<br />

can determine, means that if you just<br />

“touch” any part of the Sand Beige<br />

trim, even “softly”, the paint will<br />

wear or chip. Go figure.<br />

Why Porsche didn’t just<br />

mold the plastic parts in<br />

beige instead of black is<br />

beside me. But then again,<br />

what do I know? I invested<br />

in Enron.<br />

Fortunately,<br />

there is a simple and<br />

very neat fix to keep<br />

your Sand Beige interior ever fresh.<br />

One option is to enlist a professional<br />

to respray the affected parts of your<br />

interior. They’ll even come to your<br />

home or office to do the job. They<br />

do a lot of work at the dealerships,<br />

refreshing trade-ins for resale. A<br />

C-Note or two would likely cover<br />

the cost, but then again, if you DIY<br />

it, you could save a lot of money,<br />

and even refresh your trim whenever<br />

needed in the future. And trust me,<br />

with Sand Beige interior trim, you<br />

will need to do just that.<br />

Commonly affected areas are<br />

the headlight switch and ignition<br />

key bezels, door pocket, rear trunk<br />

surrounds and shock towers (on<br />

Boxsters and Caymans), and basically<br />

any area that comes in contact with<br />

anything other than air.<br />

Without a doubt, the hardest<br />

part of touching up interior trim<br />

is matching the paint. Even a<br />

professional will tell you this as they<br />

painstakingly mix various colors to<br />

match your interior color. Easy fix:<br />

just take one part of your trim down<br />

to the paint department of your local<br />

Home Depot and ask them to paint<br />

match your trim<br />

piece to a flat (matte)<br />

water base paint. An<br />

8-oz. sample will set<br />

you back less than<br />

three bucks. Some<br />

owners remove the<br />

ashtray. In my case, I<br />

gingerly popped out<br />

the driver’s side air vent cover with<br />

a small screwdriver and presented it<br />

to a HD paint associate who placed<br />

it inside their transmogrifier and<br />

came up with a perfect match. Ain’t<br />

science grand?<br />

Now, you can dab the paint<br />

on your chipped areas with a<br />

sponge brush, but the best results<br />

are achieved with an airbrush<br />

application of the paint.<br />

I picked up an airbrush at Harbor<br />

Freight, selecting their Deluxe<br />

Airbrush Kit. Cost was $16.00 with<br />

a 20% off coupon. If you subscribe<br />

to any magazine published in the<br />

English language, chances are it will<br />

contain a full page Harbor Freight<br />

ad featuring a 20% off coupon,<br />

plus an additional coupon for a free<br />

flashlight, or tape measure, or some<br />

other low-tech wonder tool.<br />

The instruction manual included<br />

with the kit was useless; it basically<br />

informed me that I had just purchased<br />

an airbrush. Google searches and<br />

You Tube videos provided essential<br />

information on the proper use,<br />

adjustment, and cleaning of the<br />

airbrush. It can be a somewhat<br />

finicky tool, so one would be well<br />

advised to pursue this same tack.<br />

photos by Tom Martin<br />

Now it was time to get dangerous.<br />

Armed with a loaded airbrush, using<br />

a 2-to-1 water/paint ratio, I was ready<br />

to attack those pesky paint chips on<br />

my pristine Porsche Cayman. As with<br />

any DIY project, preparation is key<br />

here. First I sanded the affected areas<br />

with 320, then 600, and finally 1500<br />

grit sandpaper. Next the affected areas<br />

were masked off with painter’s tape<br />

and newsprint to avoid overspray on<br />

any non-plastic areas.<br />

Spraying the paint was the easiest<br />

step. I connected the airbrush to my<br />

three-gallon pancake air compressor<br />

and set the pressure to 30 psi. Using<br />

measured and consistent strokes, I<br />

applied several very thin coats of<br />

paint, using the adjustable trigger to<br />

fade the paint gradually from the end<br />

of the sweep to full spray at the center,<br />

then fade out at the end. The spray<br />

was very localized, so overspray was<br />

not a problem. The blend at either end<br />

of the spray appeared to be flawless.<br />

I shot the trunk and shock towers of<br />

my wife’s Cayman, and the headliner<br />

trim and door pockets of mine - all<br />

with more than satisfactory results.<br />

Be advised that while these<br />

instructions address specific Sand<br />

Beige interior issues, they should be<br />

applicable to factory painted interiors<br />

of any other colors. And if you decide<br />

to pursue this project yourself; good<br />

luck and remember, if you can DIY<br />

it, then just do it!<br />

Tech Session Series: Discount Tire<br />

By Michael Baynton, Region Tech Session Chair<br />

On Sunday, July 22, over 50 Mavs gathered at the<br />

Discount Tire store on Ohio Drive in Plano to learn<br />

everything there is to know about Porsche tire engineers<br />

and tire manufacturers, and how they work together to<br />

bring out the best in our cars.<br />

To begin the discussion, store manager<br />

Todd Eaddy spoke with great depth and<br />

experience about N-spec tires, which is<br />

a tire manufacturer code that indicates<br />

that certain tires have been engineered<br />

specifically to handle the requirement of<br />

Porsche automobiles.<br />

While Porsche isn’t the only manufacturer to require<br />

special tire construction and materials for its vehicles,<br />

being aware of these construction variances is important<br />

to ensure that your Porsche handling characteristics<br />

are optimized. Also note that equipping your Porsche<br />

vehicle with tires that do not carry the N-spec rating<br />

could affect some warranty coverage.<br />

Todd also explained the differences between ultrahigh<br />

performance summer tires, track-specific rubber,<br />

and all-season performance options. Clearly, your<br />

intended usage and driving habits should inform your<br />

tire purchase decisions. Overall, though, current tire<br />

construction technology and rubber compounds across<br />

all categories is vastly superior to tires from even five<br />

or ten years ago. Throughout the session, Todd was<br />

gracious in answering a multitude of questions about<br />

specific applications.<br />

Lest the group get “tired” of rubber talk, Todd<br />

invited everyone into the workshop area, where he<br />

demonstrated their state-of-the-art tire mounting and<br />

pphotos by Bill Orr<br />

tire balancing equipment, as well as specific tools and<br />

jacks needed to work on both old and new Porsches.<br />

This store even carries “lollipops” to ensure that older<br />

air-cooled 911s can be raised using proper jacking<br />

points. We also learned that Discount Tire is an industry<br />

leader in employee safety and installs special cages to<br />

ensure that tires are inflated without risk of injury.<br />

When the rubber hits the road, these tech sessions<br />

are made successful by knowledgeable hosts, the interest<br />

of our members, and a small army of Mav volunteers<br />

who show up early and help with setup and logistics. A<br />

special thank-you also to Scott Boyd, owner of Coffee<br />

Perks, who graciously donated coffee for this tech<br />

session. And stay tuned for info on upcoming tech<br />

sessions later this year!<br />

Kruder’s Cars & Conversation<br />

By Bill Kruder<br />

photos courtesy of Victor Rojas<br />

You guessed it! Once again it’s<br />

all about coffee and who you meet.<br />

Several months ago, Bill Bradley<br />

started this Friday coffee meet up at<br />

Trio Craft Coffee in Flower Mound.<br />

I finally decided to join the fun one<br />

Friday and I think we had eight to<br />

ten guys there. As it turns out, three<br />

of them, including this month’s<br />

interviewee, had never been out<br />

with us before. Apparently he had<br />

read on Facebook that we were<br />

meeting and thought he might stop<br />

to check it out on his way to work.<br />

Well, we struck up a conversation<br />

about all things coffee and Porsches<br />

and he has been out with us more<br />

times than I can count.<br />

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

of “conversations” I would like to<br />

share with you:<br />

Victor Rojas, Member since 2017,<br />

Owner 2007 Speed Yellow Cayman<br />

Bill Kruder: So I know you are not<br />

originally from here; where again?<br />

12 <strong>September</strong><br />

Victor Rojas: Oh no for some reason<br />

people always think I’m from the<br />

Northeast but I am from Dallas,<br />

specifically Grand Prairie. My Dad<br />

was from Mexico and moved here<br />

when he was fourteen; my mom<br />

was born and raised in Dallas.<br />

BK: Where do you live now?<br />

VR: We live in Flower Mound; we<br />

moved there for the schools. Our<br />

son just graduated High School.<br />

However, we are moving shortly<br />

back to Dallas, to the Design District.<br />

BK: Where did you go to school?<br />

VR: I went to Jesuit High School in<br />

north Dallas. My Dad worked in<br />

Dallas so he would take my brother<br />

and me to school and my uncle<br />

would pick us up. That is, until my<br />

brother was able to drive; then he<br />

would take us.<br />

BK: And how about college?<br />

RA: I graduated from El Centro College<br />

with a degree in Culinary Arts.<br />

BK: How did you get interested in<br />

Culinary Arts?<br />

VR: Well I have a large extended<br />

family; my Dad is one of nine and<br />

my mom is one of five. We were<br />

always having these big family<br />

gatherings that of course revolved<br />

around food and drink.<br />

BK: Was someone in the business<br />

that inspired you?<br />

VR: Matter of fact my grandfather<br />

started out in the restaurant and<br />

hotel business. He started at the<br />

bottom and worked his way up,<br />

so think that was my inspiration.<br />

Plus Mom I think - back in the 80’s<br />

we would watch this show called<br />

“Great Chefs of the West,” and I<br />

remember Stephen Pyles was on it,<br />

and my mom said “why don’t you<br />

be like him?”<br />

BK: What was your first experience<br />

in “fine dining”?<br />

VR: That would be at the old Dallas<br />

Stouffer Hotel. I had experience<br />

already as a waiter, so when I joined<br />

them, that was what I considered<br />

fine dining at its best.<br />

BK: So did you start out in the fine<br />

dining arena?<br />

VR: Heck no! Going to school I<br />

waited tables at Bennigan’s. My<br />

first “chef” job was at a little<br />

place called Mustang Café in Los<br />

Colinas. It was nice but no five star<br />

experience (laughing).<br />

BK: When we first met you were<br />

opening up a new restaurant as<br />

GM, but I recently hear you are<br />

somewhere new now?<br />

VR: Yes that’s right. I was working<br />

on the opening of Bullion, a Bruno<br />

Davaillon concept. We got that<br />

open, and recently a friend told me<br />

about a new opportunity, which<br />

ended up being the reopening of<br />

the French Room at the Adolphus.<br />

They had gone thru a 16-month


$11 million renovation to bring the<br />

fine dining experience back to what<br />

it was in 1912.<br />

BK: I’ve met your wife Michelle at<br />

a couple things - how did you guys<br />

meet?<br />

VR: She was dating a mutual friend<br />

of ours and I’d see her out at times.<br />

Then somehow I got invited out<br />

with her group. Something good<br />

happened we have been married for<br />

22 years now, and we have our son<br />

Evan (smiling).<br />

BK: Let’s talk cars: what was your<br />

first memorable Porsche moment?<br />

VR: When I was a kid someone who<br />

lived down the street had a 914,<br />

and I’d see it and I just thought that<br />

was the coolest car.<br />

BK: And what was your first car?<br />

VR: That was a ‘72 Super Beetle, a<br />

BAJA; it was out of character for<br />

me. It was yellow, had this big<br />

exhaust and exposed engine - truly<br />

some else’s car (laughing).<br />

BK: So how did the Cayman come<br />

about?<br />

VR: We were both driving Hondas<br />

and I had “secretly” been looking<br />

at Porsches on Hemmings. Both<br />

the Hondas were getting old so we<br />

decided it was time to get something<br />

newer. I was looking and looking<br />

and decided the Cayman was what<br />

I wanted. It sounds funny, but I<br />

like the “speed racer” look of them<br />

(laughing). So finally Michelle said<br />

“stop talking about it and buy one.”<br />

Think I test drove nearly a dozen.<br />

I drove three the day I bought this<br />

one.<br />

BK: So it’s Michelle’s fault?<br />

VR: Well I never thought about it<br />

but yes (laughing), but she loves<br />

the car as much as I do, so not sure<br />

there is blame.<br />

Every month as I write these<br />

interviews I think the same thing:<br />

what if . . . ? What if I had not gone<br />

to Flower Mound, what if I had<br />

not had the chance to strike up that<br />

conversation with the “new” guy?<br />

So if and when you meet someone<br />

new don’t miss out on “Driving<br />

Friendships”!<br />

Maverick Marktpreis: Porsche Values<br />

by Peter Wen<br />

It’s no secret that air-cooled 911s have been gaining value<br />

in recent years. With the 993 (the last air-cooled generation)<br />

hogging the spotlight, you may have missed the meteoric rise<br />

of a particular group of 911 Carreras . . . Super Carreras,<br />

that is.<br />

The Super Carrera, or SC, was produced from ’78 to ’83, in<br />

the middle of the second-generation 911. 911 SCs, in this socalled<br />

impact-bumper generation, have enjoyed an incredible<br />

run up in value over the last five years. The SC coupes in<br />

particular have doubled in value across the board from fairconditioned<br />

daily drivers to show winners. Targas have also<br />

shown significant gains, with a range of about 55 to 65%.<br />

The SC Cabriolet, the first 911 convertible ever, reported a<br />

more modest gain, between 15 and 30%. A total of 57,890<br />

SCs were produced.<br />

Excellence magazine’s Porsche Buyer’s Guide offered these<br />

price ranges:<br />

SC Coupe (‘78-‘83) - $20,000-$47,000<br />

SC Targa (‘78-‘83) - $18,000-$43,000<br />

SC Cabriolet (‘83) - $25,000-$45,000<br />

Porsche Parade <strong>2018</strong><br />

By Carey Spreen<br />

The 63rd Porsche Parade took place in mid-July<br />

at the Tan-Tar-A Resort on the Lake of the Ozarks in<br />

Missouri. In case you’re not familiar with the Parade,<br />

it’s a week-long “convention” that the Porsche Club of<br />

photos provided by author<br />

including Enthusiast of the Year, Family of the Year,<br />

Region of the Year, membership growth awards, and<br />

public service awards. The Zone Representatives<br />

present an award to a deserving individual or group,<br />

and once in a while, PCA bestows its<br />

highest honor, the Bill Sholar Award, to<br />

a member who has distinguished himself<br />

or herself in an exemplary fashion. PCA<br />

also recognizes regional newsletters and<br />

websites, ranking them using a panel of<br />

judges. You can read more about these<br />

awards on the PCA website at https://<br />

www.pca.org/pca-national-awards.<br />

Marketing Chair Bill Orr took home<br />

a major award: the Lazar-Blanchard<br />

Memorial Trophy for Enthusiast of the<br />

Year. Congratulations, Bill! <strong>Slipstream</strong><br />

also won two awards in the Newsletter<br />

America holds each year in a different part of the<br />

country. There are competitive events, driving<br />

tours, social gatherings, awards banquets, and<br />

opportunities to meet with and talk to PCA<br />

national officers, Porsche Cars North America<br />

(PCNA) officials, Porsche factory representatives,<br />

and often, a member or two of the Porsche family.<br />

This year the Parade was only about 520<br />

miles away (roughly, depending on where in the<br />

Metroplex you start from), so the one- or two-day<br />

drive made it a no-brainer for lots of Mavericks –<br />

we had over 60 members from the region attend: 37<br />

entrants and 24 co-entrants, plus a couple of Junior<br />

Participant Program (JPP, age 16-17) and College<br />

Age Family Program (CAFP, age 18-24) entries.<br />

As you might expect, some were first-timers and<br />

others were old hands, but I’ll go out on a limb and<br />

say that all of us enjoyed our time there.<br />

The Parade features four main competitive<br />

events: the Concours d’Elegance, the Time-<br />

Speed-Distance (TSD) Rally, the Autocross,<br />

and the Technical and Historical Quiz. Other<br />

competitions included the Gimmick Rally, the<br />

Art Show, the Golf Tournament, and the 5K Run/<br />

Walk. There were also events geared toward the<br />

kids, including RC car races (on-road and offroad),<br />

and an “anycross,” where they could use<br />

any kind of wheeled conveyance to set a time on<br />

a predefined course.<br />

The Parade is also where national recognition<br />

is awarded for various individuals and groups,<br />

20 <strong>September</strong>


Contest: Best Cover, and second place in Class VI (regions<br />

with at least 1650 members). Congratulations to 2017<br />

Editor Jim Hirsch! Well deserved! And with another<br />

trophy to take home, Maverick Region’s website (Bill<br />

Orr, webmaster) took first place in Class V (regions with<br />

at least 800 members) in the Website Contest. Kudos<br />

again, Bill! Furthermore, the Zone Representatives<br />

award went to fellow Zone 5 members RJ Wilmoth and<br />

Linda Bosko of the Longhorn Region, in recognition of<br />

their outstanding work with the PCA archives.<br />

As in past years, Maverick Region entrants<br />

represented their region very well, competing in just<br />

about every event. In the Concours d’Elegance, Richard<br />

Lyschik took first in class PP15T (Preparation – touringlevel<br />

judging) with his 2015 Macan; congratulations<br />

Richard! Additionally, Don and Harriet Sebert got<br />

fourth with their 1993 RS America in class PS05F<br />

(Preservation – full judging), and Joshua Gutjahr<br />

managed a ninth place with his 2004 996 in class PP06S<br />

(Preparation – street-level judging).<br />

The TSD Rally is a competitive event, but it is<br />

not a race. It is held on public roads at legal speeds,<br />

Another type of rally, the Gimmick Rally, although<br />

still competitive, is more of a fun event, where<br />

participants drive around the countryside looking for<br />

clues; sort of a treasure hunt. Classes are broken down<br />

into vehicles with two people, and vehicles with more<br />

than two people. The thought is that more eyeballs in the<br />

car makes for better chances of spotting all the treasure,<br />

but sometimes more people in the car just cause more<br />

distraction! Anyway, in the two-person class, Yasha<br />

(driver) and Kendra (navigator) Avshalumov took 19th<br />

place, and Region President and First Lady David (driver)<br />

and Tracy (navigator) Robertson garnered 26th place,<br />

but note that this is with 91 competitors in the class! No<br />

Mavericks competed in the more-than-two class.<br />

The Autocross takes place over two days to allow<br />

all entrants to get in four runs each. The course was<br />

set up on an airport taxiway, and was short and sweet:<br />

most runs were in the 30- to 40-second range. Thirteen<br />

representatives of Maverick Region competed.<br />

In the Showroom Stock classes, where no<br />

modifications are allowed, Fran Ussery took second<br />

place in S05W in her showroom-stock 2000 Boxster,<br />

while father and<br />

son Scott and Seth<br />

Stubbs took 16th<br />

and 17th place<br />

respectively in the<br />

very competitive<br />

S11O class, driving<br />

Fred (Scott’s dad)<br />

Stubbs’ 2011<br />

Boxster Spyder.<br />

Not to be left out,<br />

Pam Stubbs drove<br />

the same car to<br />

and is scored based on how well the driver/navigator<br />

team can follow the route instructions, look for signs<br />

and landmarks, maintain various average speeds<br />

throughout the event, and arrive neither too early<br />

nor too late at hidden checkpoints along the route.<br />

This year there were four Maverick entries. Joshua<br />

Gutjahr (driver) teamed up with Vic Rola (navigator)<br />

from Smoky Mountain Region in R06 (Unequipped),<br />

and came in at 11th place just outside the trophies.<br />

There were two entries in R05 (Unequipped Plus): Fran<br />

(driver) and Carl (navigator) Ussery took home fifth<br />

place trophies, and Don Breithaupt (driver) and Carey<br />

Spreen (navigator) earned first place trophies, also<br />

taking fourth place overall out of 98 entrants. In R04<br />

(Unequipped Navigational), long-time TSD rallyists<br />

Myra (driver) and Jerry (navigator) Sutton won fifth<br />

place trophies. Congratulations all!<br />

S11W, beating husband and son by several tenths of a<br />

second! Way to go Stubbs family! And another Maverick<br />

family, Roger and Heather Briggs, competed in their<br />

2010 Panamera Turbo, with Roger taking first place in<br />

S15O and Heather taking third in S15W. Heather has<br />

an excuse though: she was in the same class as threetime<br />

Ladies’ Top Time of Day winner Wendy Shoffit,<br />

who took first in S15W in her 2017 Macan Turbo.<br />

In the Production classes, where a few performance<br />

modifications are allowed, Carey Spreen took second<br />

place in a 1987 924S in class P03O, while Sue Crimm<br />

drove the same car to first place in class P03W, followed<br />

by Geneva Spreen, also driving the same car, in second<br />

place in the same class. (Geneva’s dad was very pleased<br />

with those results too!) Josh Gutjahr (just edged out of<br />

a trophy by 5/100 of a second, courtesy of his dad Bob<br />

Gutjahr in the same car) took fourth in P10O driving<br />

his 2004 996, the same car he had entered in both the<br />

Concours and TSD Rally!<br />

The Improved classes allow more radical<br />

modifications. Ed Mayo’s 1967 911S was on the edge<br />

between being a Production car and an Improved car,<br />

so he entered it in Improved just to be safe. He took<br />

second in class I01O, beaten by just 3/100 of a second<br />

by a driver piloting the ultimate autocross car (in this<br />

author’s opinion, anyway), a 914. Julia Underwood<br />

also took second place in I01W, driving Ed’s 911.<br />

Congratulations to all of our Autocross competitors!<br />

The Technical and Historical Quiz is a sort of trivia<br />

quiz for Porsche geeks, consisting of 50 general questions<br />

about any Porsche topic you can think of, plus 25 more<br />

questions about the specific model of Porsche that the<br />

entrant chose. There are also five tie-breakers which are<br />

counted only when there is a tie between two entrants<br />

in the same class. Scores are calculated two ways: For<br />

class winners, the model-specific questions are given<br />

three times the weighting of the general questions,<br />

while for overall winners, the general questions have<br />

three times the weighting of the model-specific ones.<br />

In class-specific competition, Alan Bambina placed<br />

fourth in Q01M, the 356 class; Josh Gutjahr came<br />

in third in Q05M, the 996/997/991 class; and Carey<br />

Spreen came home with a trophy for second place in<br />

Q06M, the 914 class. In overall quiz competition,<br />

Carey Spreen came in third in the<br />

Men’s division. No one can say that<br />

Maverick Region doesn’t have its<br />

share of Porsche geeks!<br />

The Art Show had Maverick<br />

representation as well: Alan Bambina<br />

won second place in the Artisan Crafts<br />

category for his handmade wooden<br />

jewelry box in the form of a Porsche<br />

crest, with each element of the crest<br />

being a jewelry drawer. Very clever!<br />

There were two RC Car races this<br />

year – one on a road course and an<br />

off-road version. On the road course,<br />

Alan Bambina’s handmade<br />

Porsche jewelry box<br />

Seth Stubbs took third place in the age 15-17 class.<br />

Good showing Seth!<br />

There were a couple of non-Porsche-related events as<br />

well. David and Tracy Robertson, along with teammates<br />

Jeffery Hammond and Betsy Meyer, took third place in<br />

the Golf Tournament. The Parade also puts on a 5K<br />

Run/Walk; Josh Gutjahr won a first place trophy in<br />

the Male age 20-29 class, while Tracy Robertson took<br />

fifth place in the Female age (dare I say it?) 50-59 class,<br />

Greg Sebert placed third in the Male age 50-59 class,<br />

and Don Sebert ran away (get it?) with fourth place in<br />

Male age 70 and over. Nice<br />

job all!<br />

So if any of this sounds<br />

interesting, make plans to<br />

attend a future Porsche<br />

Parade. The 2019 event<br />

takes place in Boca Raton,<br />

FL, while in 2020 it moves<br />

to Palm Springs, CA. Both<br />

are roughly the same<br />

distance from DFW, but will<br />

be wildly different<br />

environments. We don’t yet know where the 2021 event<br />

will be, but because they cycle west-central-east, that<br />

one should be closer to home. Hope to see you there!<br />

Website<br />

Annually, PCA conducts the National Website Contest in which region and zone<br />

websites are judged for editorial excellence, design effectiveness, user friendliness,<br />

up-to-date content, and usefulness to their respective regions, zones, and members.<br />

As a result of the outstanding content and technical advances in past submissions, PCA<br />

decided to create an award for the Best Overall Region Website. The award was first<br />

presented at Parade in 2012. The Best Overall Region Website Award is presented to<br />

the region with highest overall score, regardless of class. The award will not duplicate<br />

any National Website Award Class winners. Zone websites are not eligible for this<br />

award. The award serves to demonstrate that the real value of any region website<br />

is in effectively serving members of the website’s respective region. The award also<br />

demonstrates the fluidity and dynamics of web-based communications and the ability<br />

of the regions to adapt new technologies to meet the expectations of their users.<br />

Newsletter<br />

The Paul Heinmiller Memorial Trophy was previously awarded to the region newsletter<br />

judged to be the most outstanding for the year, as part of the PCA Newsletter Contest.<br />

The Heinmiller Memorial Award was donated in 1970 by the Porsche+Audi Division<br />

of Volkswagen of America. Mr. Heinmiller was a past National Vice President. Under<br />

Mr. Heinmiller’s leadership, Porsche Panorama became a professionally executed<br />

publication both in physical layout and graphic art, as well as in refinement of its<br />

content. Almost every region has members who belong to PCA because of Panorama<br />

and who continue to renew their memberships to receive what has become the finest<br />

single-marque, club-sponsored publication in the world.<br />

The Betty Jo Turner Newsletter Award for Newsletter Excellence was created in 2012<br />

to recognize retiring Panorama Editor Betty Jo Turner. This award replaced the Paul<br />

Heinmiller Memorial Trophy, which was retired.<br />

For the PCA Newsletter Contest, regions compete in one of five classes, based on region<br />

membership as of December 31st of the competition year. Basing the classes on region<br />

membership is intended to ensure that regions competing for the five separate class<br />

awards have reasonably equal resources. The Betty Jo Turner Award for Newsletter<br />

Excellence does not duplicate any of the class awards.<br />

The evaluation criteria are: Information and Navigation; Overall Layout and<br />

Appearance; Editorial Commentary; Event Publicity and Follow-Up; Photography and/<br />

or artwork (Illustrations, Clipart); Technical Articles and Automotive Tips; Availability<br />

in Digital Format to Members; Features and Article Contributions from Members;<br />

and General Scope and Variety. Top editors from around the country are selected<br />

to help with the judging of other regions’ newsletters. They assign scores for each<br />

category. Points are given for the number of issues published by the region during<br />

the year. Once class winners have been decided, the top entry from each class is then<br />

re-evaluated by a second set of judges to determine the overall winner of the Betty Jo<br />

Turner Award for Newsletter Excellence.<br />

Enthusiast of the Year<br />

The Glenn Lazar-Harry Blanchard Memorial Trophy was established by the late Bruce<br />

“King Carrera” Jennings as an annual award to be presented to the region member<br />

who best exemplifies the spirit and guidelines of PCA. The award is more commonly<br />

known as the “Enthusiast of the Year” Award.<br />

The recipient is a true “Porsche Enthusiast” and an outstanding member of PCA.<br />

The recipient is an exemplary participant in region activities and shows initiative in<br />

support and organization of ongoing activities and the development of new activities.<br />

Any active member of the Porsche Club of America is eligible for this award, with the<br />

exception of any person serving in a position on the PCA National Staff during the<br />

award year.<br />

Autocross Event 6: Mirrorcross at Mineral Wells<br />

By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair<br />

The Porsche Parade took away some of our usual<br />

autocross participants, and the extreme heat on the vast<br />

Mineral Wells pavement made it a tough day for those<br />

who did come out for the final MirrorCross dual course<br />

event of the season. Everyone was happy that the final<br />

four events will be back at the nice and shady Lone Star<br />

Park site in Grand Prairie.<br />

Mirrorcross is a dual side-by-side drag-race<br />

style start with a very quick first straight<br />

followed by a few difficult turns before the<br />

courses peel off in opposite directions and<br />

look like a normal autocross layout.<br />

Due to surface imperfections, the course are rarely exact<br />

opposites, which was made clear by the time differences<br />

between the left and right courses. The participants<br />

swapped sides after each run for a total of six attempts<br />

to set their fastest time on each side, which were added<br />

together for overall class position.<br />

The start is very exciting because of the real drag race<br />

style Christmas Tree countdown start, staging lights,<br />

reaction time, and 60-foot time that a critical to set your<br />

fastest time. A perfect reaction time is 0.500 seconds.<br />

Less than that is a red light DNF, while more than that<br />

means you left some time at the start. The 60-foot time<br />

tells how well you got off the start and made it count by<br />

getting the power down.<br />

Owen Coulman was fastest Porsche in his 996 GT3,<br />

with the Farnham family GT4 right behind him. Steve<br />

and Sherry best run reaction times (RTs) of 0.807 and<br />

0.539 to Owen’s best at 0.539. Owen demonstrated the<br />

terrific GT3 acceleration and weight transfer to lay down<br />

a stunning 1.855-second 60-foot time. Interestingly, the<br />

914 2.0 driven by Mark and Sigrid Schnoerr was cutting<br />

0.611 and 0.609 best RTs and, demonstrating the light<br />

weight and perfect 60-foot in first gear, laid down times<br />

almost identical to the GT4 to that spot. Of course the<br />

GT4 motored away after that.<br />

Next event at Lone Star Park is set for <strong>September</strong> 16.<br />

Hope to see you there!<br />

Mavs & Mochas: Neiman Marcus<br />

By Bill Bradley<br />

photos by Bill Middleton<br />

Three things need to be said before any discussion<br />

as to why over 100 Porsches could gather in a covered<br />

parking garage in Willow Bend Mall to celebrate the<br />

Porsche Cabriolet.<br />

drop-top peers. Soon I was encircled by those eager<br />

to impart knowledge on topics ranging from radar<br />

detectors to grandchildren.<br />

Inside the doors to Neiman Marcus, which opened<br />

off the parking garage, were company employees<br />

1. Thanks to our host Neiman Marcus for providing<br />

coffee and breakfast tacos and for the use of their facilities.<br />

2. Thanks to Park Place Dallas for sponsoring the<br />

event, as well as congratulations on the opening of their<br />

Grapevine branch.<br />

3. Lastly, thanks to the early-rising Mavericks who<br />

assisted in getting everyone properly parked and setting up<br />

a table with club information, decals, and Porsche whatnot.<br />

Rain had been forecast, so these folks had<br />

thoughtfully provided microfiber towels so that club<br />

members could remove the water spots from their<br />

vehicles. Some actually did.<br />

It should be added that it was still raining outside the<br />

confines of the parking garage. So many of us, including<br />

yours truly, contented ourselves with conversation and<br />

drinking coffee.<br />

I set up a folding chair in front of my 2006 Cabriolet,<br />

which was parked amongst twenty of her representative<br />

Top Row: Cabriolets on display, Sweet rides that didn’t melt in the rain<br />

Bottom: Row: Bill Orr - Enthusiast of the Year - also can set you up with<br />

some decals, the Neiman Marcus staff that took care of our group,<br />

Michael and Shanna Baynton, Mike Preston and Mike Mahoney<br />

dispensing coffee and pointing club members to where<br />

slips of paper could be filled out as chances to win a<br />

variety of prizes:<br />

• A lunch for four in the Mariposa<br />

• A pair of cufflinks<br />

• A pair of sneakers selected by the winner<br />

• Master Dynamics luxury headphones<br />

• Shinola gift<br />

A little after ten o’clock, Porsches began leaving their<br />

neat rows in the parking garage. Their passengers were<br />

about to become shoppers. At this point yours truly<br />

folded up his chair, said goodbye to those around him,<br />

and exited the parking garage.<br />

Yes, it was still raining.<br />

26 <strong>September</strong>


New Member Perspective<br />

by Aaron Hutton<br />

This was my first social event, as I’ve owned the<br />

car only about 3 weeks now. I came out to a midmonth<br />

unofficial gathering, but that was only a<br />

handful of cars. Even with the rain, it still looked like<br />

a ton of cars and people at this gathering! So I shyly<br />

parked out on the outskirts, for a couple of reasons:<br />

1) I’m terrible at parking nose-out, so giving<br />

myself lots of room is a good idea. I’m practicing<br />

though and doing it in the Cayman isn’t too bad<br />

since it’s smaller than I’m used to. I’m not worried<br />

about hitting anything - more like I don’t want to try<br />

3 times to get it right. Then again, it only took me<br />

twice, so maybe I’m improving.<br />

2) My poor Cayman still has adhesive haze all<br />

over the hood from a clearbra that was left on much<br />

longer than it should have. Didn’t want too many<br />

people looking too closely at it!<br />

I did get to meet a few new people, but being the<br />

newbie, the conversations were fairly brief as folks<br />

were often engaged with folks they knew better. But<br />

I got to say hi to Bill B, Peter, plus got my license<br />

plate frame (thanks Bill O!). We had a great time<br />

though, and I’m really looking forward to the next<br />

M&M with the 80’s theme!<br />

I brought my 16 year old daughter with me and<br />

as we pulled in she started getting anxious about<br />

her appearance, saying “Oh my god there’s so many<br />

expensive cars here, dad! I should have dressed nicer<br />

or done something better with my hair!” Haha... well<br />

not sure what to tell you kiddo, I was pretty clear<br />

about where we were going! She looked great by the<br />

way so I’m not sure what she was stressed about.<br />

To whomever owns the cabriolet with the blue<br />

full leather interior, that’s gorgeous. Thank you for<br />

putting the top down so I could get up close!<br />

Looking forward to the next event!<br />

PCA Tours: A Tour to (and on) the Track<br />

By Mark Pitarresi, Tours Co-Chair<br />

We are back from our short summer break for the fifth<br />

Tour this year, and boy do we have a treat for you! This will<br />

be our annual charity tour to MotorSport Ranch in Cresson,<br />

TX. MotorSport Ranch is a country club for automotive<br />

enthusiasts at an awesome race track.<br />

We will start the tour on Sunday, <strong>September</strong> 23 in<br />

Mansfield, TX at 10 am. The drive will be 56 miles long<br />

and will not have a rest stop. This is a great route, and many<br />

of our drive leaders have nicknamed an area of it “The<br />

Enchanted Forest”, and for good reason. We will be visiting<br />

the track while our Maverick Region High-Performance<br />

Driving Education program is underway. If you have ever<br />

been interested in attending an HPDE and want to know<br />

what it’s like, this tour<br />

is for you.<br />

For an optional<br />

$30 donation you<br />

can take your car out<br />

on the track for some<br />

parade laps! Parade<br />

laps are not at a pace<br />

that is slow, as in a<br />

street parade, nor is it<br />

too fast. This will be<br />

my third time doing them, and everyone I have talked to<br />

gets excited while sharing their experience afterward.<br />

After the parade laps, we will have a catered lunch that<br />

is also optional. Catering will be provided by Roscoe’s<br />

Smokehouse. They will be serving five types of meat<br />

including ribs, sliced brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken,<br />

and sausage. The sides will be coleslaw, potato salad, and<br />

BBQ beans. Dessert will be peach cobbler and tea will also<br />

be provided, all for $16 per person.<br />

All proceeds for this tour will be donated to Patriot<br />

PAWS, which provides service dogs at no cost to disabled<br />

American veterans with mobile disabilities and Post-<br />

Traumatic Stress Disorder, to help restore their physical and<br />

emotional independence. You can find more information on<br />

Patriot PAWS or any of our other of our preferred charities<br />

at mav.pca.org/about/charity. Donations can also be made at<br />

any time at that address.<br />

You must register for the tour at http://mav.pca.org/<br />

Events/Tours/. We have two classes now on our tours. Choose<br />

Vintage Class for a more relaxed scenic tour, or Modern<br />

Class for the same type of tour that we have provided in<br />

the past. Whichever class you choose it is your decision, no<br />

matter the type of Porsche you drive. Three days before the<br />

tour date, we will send you all the information you need to<br />

attend. We hand out packets the day of the tour with all the<br />

information as well.<br />

The Drivers Briefing begins at 10 am so<br />

please arrive early so that you are signed in<br />

on time. Most tour attendees arrive early to<br />

meet new friends and socialize with both<br />

new and familiar faces.<br />

Arriving early also helps our volunteers get everyone<br />

signed in on time so the tour is on schedule. No special<br />

navigation will be needed. Our Group Leaders will be<br />

familiar with the route and will guide each group of 14 cars<br />

or less along the route. If you have any questions about the<br />

event please email tours@mavpca.org.<br />

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor<br />

By Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor<br />

David mentioned the pride he has being president<br />

of the Maverick Region. That pride is well deserved,<br />

and shared by the volunteers and active members of<br />

the club. If you haven’t<br />

been to an event recently<br />

or don’t happen to follow<br />

social media, you might<br />

not be aware that Maverick<br />

Region is one of the largest,<br />

most active clubs in the<br />

country. Really!<br />

Carey gave us a great<br />

look of some of the winners<br />

at Porsche Parade this year.<br />

Pictured to the right are<br />

three of the awards Jim<br />

Hirsch and Bill Orr brought<br />

home. Best Newsletter<br />

cover, Second Place in the<br />

Newsletter Contest and<br />

Best Website in Class V. Nevermind that Bill Orr was<br />

named Enthusiast of the Year. In fact, we had so many<br />

winners I couldn’t fit all of the results and photos from<br />

Parade in the newsletter this month. Because of that,<br />

I’ll be putting together an expanded <strong>Slipstream</strong> for the<br />

online edition at mav.pca.org, check it out.<br />

As for me, I’ll be<br />

heading down to Austin for<br />

Schnellfest at COTA. And<br />

since my on-track exploits<br />

have been few and sordid,<br />

I’m focusing on the potential<br />

for improvement. My son<br />

keeps reminding me that slow<br />

and steady wins the race, but<br />

fast and steady is way more<br />

fun. I can see the insurance<br />

premiums already. Luckily I<br />

have some time to save up.<br />

II almost forgot - with so<br />

many Porsche events coming<br />

up, we’d love to have your<br />

take on the experience. If<br />

you are going to Rennsport or Treffen or any of the out<br />

of town events and would like to share your thoughts,<br />

drop me a line. As always - Enjoy the Drive!<br />
