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 />
