It was a great year for the Maverick Region in 2018 

and we have even more to look forward to in 2019! 

To finish out 2018, we set a new record at 

our Founders’ Day celebration, with almost 300 

members in attendance! The new Park Place 

Grapevine venue was impressive, and there was 

a great historical display of Porsches from our 

members. It was a lot of fun and the company was 

great, but what I am proudest of is the donation 

of $20,000 that the Maverick Region made to 

the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House with funds 

generated from the event. One hundred percent of 

the proceeds from the online auction were donated, 

and our members were also very generous with 

their donations during registration and with the 

Walmart gift cards that were brought to the event. 

The Huffaker-Hughes Hope House is a home 

for victims of domestic violence and has been a 

Maverick Region-supported charity since 1993. 

Founders’ Day, our last event of the year, was 

a celebration of the club and its members, but I 

could also feel a palpable excitement for where we 

are heading in 2019. 

We have a great year in store, as events are 

getting planned that will make everyone want to 

get out and see what all of the buzz is about. 

You will see events within events where members 

will have the chance to experience other aspects of 

the club they may not be familiar with. We will 

also be setting up more opportunities for 4-door 

Porsches to experience a race track or even leave 

the road behind and test the four-wheel drive 

capabilities of Porsche SUVs. 

Of course there will be social events and more 

casual driving events such as Tours and Rallies 

that will be better than ever. Our Tech Sessions 

and Concours programs have also become very 

popular over the last year and will have even more 

events available to enjoy. 

With all of this activity we need more volunteers 

than ever! The best way to get involved with the club 

and meet new exciting people that are as passionate 

as you are is to volunteer. There is something 

for everyone in the Maverick Region and it is 

all fueled by volunteers. Please reach out to 

volunteers@mavpca.org and we will find you a spot. 

I am looking forward to a safe and fun year, 

and am very honored to be the President of the 

Maverick Region for 2019.

SPROCKETS: The Year Ahead 

by David Robertson, Region President 

MAVS OF THE MONTH: 

Don Sebert and George Luxbacher, 

Rally Co- Chairs 

Have you been to one of 

the Maverick Region Rallies? 

A rally is a fun driving event 

where teamwork is essential 

to finding clues along a specific 

route. Many times, neither 

the route nor the clues are 

exactly straightforward, and 

that is where the teamwork 

with a friend or significant 

other in the passenger seat 

comes into play. 

Don and George work 

hard to make our Rallies safe 

and fun for members. These 

events take a lot of planning 

and driving the route again 

and again, making sure that mileage is accurate 

and that the clues make sense in most cases. They 

always come up with great themes and fun but 

challenging instructions. Thank you Don and 

George for all of the time you put in to making 

our Rally program such a success!

2019 Alle Mitglieder: Maverick All Member Party 

by Debi Kruder, Region Social Chair 

You’re invited to our Maverick “Alle Mitglieder,” 

or as us American folks say, All Member Party! Yes, 

it’s the All Member Party of years past, but with a new 

twist! Thanks to our sponsor Autobahn, this year’s 

event promises not to disappoint. Save the date for 

Sunday, February 17, and be the first to register online 

after the New Year. 

This year offers two events for our 2,885 

members for an All Member Morning! Yes, 

that’s right, two events. 

Our first event, a Mav PCA Driving Tour, begins at 

10 am at Grayson College, 1455 W Van Alstyne Pkwy, 

Van Alstyne, TX on your favorite farm road, FM 455. 

And the destination you ask? One Preston Event 

Center is the destination and venue for our second 

event of the morning: the All Member Party! What 

awaits you there is sure to please! The Carriage House 

at 50 Whispering Winds Road in Gunter, Texas will 

leave you speechless. It’s a gorgeous space with vaulted 

ceilings, large windows, and barn doors overlooking 

acres of lush landscaping, and of course our Porsches. 

Registration for the All Member Brunch includes 

a deliciously prepared country breakfast by Low 

Country Cuisine, as well as a Bubbly and Bloody 

Mary Bar, and of course great friends. What can you 

expect besides the warm food and spirits? Meet your 

Maverick PCA board and chairs, learn more about the 

2019 upcoming events, and as with every event, meet 

cool cars and their drivers! 

New members are our special guests and will receive 

a personal invitation from our Membership Chair, Jim 

Hirsch. We want our nearly 400 new members since 

last year’s party to experience all our region has to 

offer, meeting new friends, introducing them to our 

many Maverick activities, and enjoying some special 

memorabilia too! 

So whether you’ve been with our club for 56 years 

or less than one, there is sure to be something for 

everyone at this year’s Maverick “Alle Mitglieder!” 

Registration details to come on January 1 on mav.pca. 

org and social media.

A Note from the Drivers’ Education Chair 

by TJ Kroehle, Region Drivers’ Education Chair 

We would like to announce our DE event dates for 2019: 

• February 23-24: Motorsport Ranch (MSR) on the 3.1-mi road course. 

• April 27-28: Motorsport Ranch (MSR) on the 3.1-mi road course. 

• June 1 - Car Control Clinic at MSR 

• June 2 - DE Solo - warm up to COTA 

• June 8-9: Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX (Schnell Fest). 

• September 14-15: the new EAGLES CANYON RACEWAY 2.6-mi road course. 

• September 21-22: Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX (Schnell Fest). 

• October 19-20: Eagles Canyon Raceway 2.6-mi road course. 

• November 9-10: a SOLO DE event in conjunction with the PCA Club Race. 

Please mark these dates on your calendar. 

Porsche’s marketing campaigns for 2019 are “Direction 

Future” and “Performance, electrified.” Porsche has been 

long known as a leader in technology and innovation. This 

also constitutes constant evolution. 

Our region’s DE program in 2018 also 

started to evolve. We implemented new 

concepts to our DE experience, all while 

maintaining our tradition of Safety First. 

We started with enhanced passing for advanced run 

groups. We also started a Fast, Faster, and Fastest grid 

lineup for our advanced run groups. We opened up MSR’s 

1.3 road course for additional run time, available to most 

run groups throughout the weekend. These features will 

remain in place for 2019. 

We introduced a new novice run group, the Car Control 

Clinic (CCC). This was requested by our local Porsche 

dealerships to provide a gentler introduction to the Porsche 

experience. This can provide their clients an opportunity 

to learn the capabilities of their Porsche in a controlled 

environment. Graduates of the CCC will, at a minimum, be 

in a better position to handle their vehicle in an emergency. 

We received excellent feedback from the participants. We 

believe the CCC can be a gateway to our DE and Autocross 

programs. Fifty percent of the first CCC graduates said 

they would attend a future DE or Autocross program. We 

are looking for dates for this program in 2019 

We are also looking for more single day SOLO DE events 

for 2019. We are searching for a date in March or May for 

a single day SOLO DE. We may pick a weekday, scheduling 

it for a late afternoon run and socializer to follow, similar 

to what we did in July 2018. 

As we grow and change, we have some changes we need to share. 

Chris Sorrells has joined our team as the DE Marketing 

Chair. Chris and his wife Gabe joined the Porsche Club 

six years ago after buying their first Porsche. Together they 

came out and watched a DE event. They decided that it 

looked like a lot of fun. 

Chris attended the Ron Fellows Performance Driving 

School in Las Vegas to learn how to drive on the track 

safely. Initially, Gabe was driving the Porsche and Chris 

was driving a Corvette at the DEs. After a couple of events 

driving the Corvette, Chris decided to part ways with it, 

allowing him to also buy a Porsche. Chris has attended 

most of our DEs over the past six years. 

Gabe and Chris have been married for 40 years. Chris 

has just retired from the construction and development 

business. They have two dogs and three Porsches. Gabe 

and Chris can also be seen at most of the PCA social events. 

Chris spends his spare time either at the track or hunting 

with friends. 

Please welcome Chris as the Marketing Chair! 

We are chartered with continuing the evolution of our 

DE Program. Our mantra is “Safety First.” 

We appreciate everyone’s participation in the program 

and, we hope to earn your future support. 

Sincerely, 

TJ Kroehle 

Maverick Region PCA DE Chair

PCA Tours: FM 4 Recap 

by Brant Worrell, Tours Co-Chair 

I have never thought of myself as a morning person, 

but on the morning of November 4, I couldn’t wait to 

get up and get my day going. You see, today was the 

day on which the Maverick Region would celebrate 

the life of a former member, Voy Mitchell (or just 

Mitch to all his friends), by traveling Farm-to-Market 

Road 4 from Jacksboro down to Granbury, Mitch’s 

favorite drive. 

My relationship with Mitch was all too brief, but 

I would best describe him as a warm and gentle soul 

with a lead foot. It didn’t hurt that his lead foot was 

exercised on the petal of a 2015 Turbo S Cabriolet! 

Accompanying me this day would be Mitch’s wife, 

Marie, Mitch’s bride of 51 years. I would get to pick 

her up in Celina, drive her to the starting location in 

Jacksboro, and reminisce about Mitch as we drove 

down FM 4 on our way to Granbury. All told, we 

would be in the car for almost 200 miles, remembering 

Mitch and their lives with each other. As much as it is 

about our cars, it’s also about connecting with others, 

and ultimately isn’t that what it’s really about -- making 

personal connections with one another? 

We couldn’t have asked for nicer driving weather on 

the day of the drive. As we got under way, the skies 

were clear and the temperatures in the high fifties. 

One hundred thirty people in eighty-two cars would 

participate. Towns along the way included Grayford, 

Palo Pinto, Santo, and Lipan. No issues with the local 

authorities were reported, which was not an easy thing 

for me to accomplish in a ‘99 Turbo with a 918 Spyder 

in your rear-view mirror for 85 miles! 

If you haven’t had a chance to drive this route and 

are looking for an excuse to drive your Porsche this 

winter, this is your drive. I recommend starting your 

morning at the Village Kitchen restaurant for breakfast 

in Jacksboro (as some of us did before our drive) and 

ending in Granbury for some lunch at the local German 

eatery, Ketzler’s Schnitzel Haus And Biergarten, but 

not before some window shopping around Granbury’s 

charming down town square. 

The drive down FM 4 concluded a very busy tour 

season for the Maverick club. In total, we had six drives 

in 2018! Mark Pitarresi and I have already begun 

planning for 2019 and look forward to seeing everyone 

on our first drive: February 17, which will be the All 

Member Party Tour drive down FM 455. This tour will 

start just west of Van Alstyne and end a little north of 

Gunter, both of which are in southern Grayson County. 

To top it off, the drive ends at the annual Maverick All 

Member Party! 

Your mind’s been racing. 

Catch up. 

Decades of dreaming, fulfilled instantaneously. The iconic 911 Carrera. Legendary 

handling, immediate power, and decades of motorsport heritage. It is the full 

measure of a sports car. Found only in a Porsche. Porsche. There is no substitute.

Mavs & Mochas: Founders’ Day Edition 

It was a dark and stormy night – 

the night before, that is -- but Saturday 

morning was glorious, as evidenced 

by a more than awesome turnout. 

The official count was over 200 cars, 

with about every vintage and color 

of Porsche lined up and polished to a 

fine shine. 

The Mavs & Mochas gathering 

kicked off the day-long trilogy 

of Maverick Region’s birthday 

celebration events with a bang. Couple 

this with the exceptional participation 

of Nordstrom knocking it out 

of the park with their staff, 

led by Vanessa Hernandez, and it 

just couldn’t have been any better. 

Non-stop coffee, fixins, and pastries 

kept the PCA faithful happy and full. 

Plus the fact that we had the run of 

the store to shop and browse was an 

exceptional privilege offered to the 

PCA members. 

The People’s Choice Awards 

judging garnered a broad crowd 

participation spurring all kinds of 

conversation about this and that. The 

trivia being bantered about covered 

all aspects of the varied Porsche cars 

in attendance, which is what it’s all 

about. So much fun! The outcome 

of the judging was announced at the 

final leg of this day at the dinner and 

gathering at Porsche Grapevine, but 

that’s another story!! 

Then at the end the M&M it 

was off to line up for the Toy Drive! 

Eighty or so cars headed off to start 

the second leg of the Maverick 

celebration. Cars were stuffed with 

toys to the roof or roll bar. What a 

great Porsche-filled day it was going 

to be!! – Pat Carmichael

Founders’ Day Toy Drive 

We couldn’t have 

started out with a more 

beautiful morning for our 

annual toy drive. I can’t 

stress enough that the 

weather was phenomenal 

for December. This made 

it perfect for driving with 

our tops off and windows 

down. The drive was full 

of colors as we wound 

and twisted our way 

north through beautiful 

trees celebrating the fall 

colors we have here in 

North Texas. With all the 

lights and traffic, some of 

the cars were split up, but 

all tried to stay together. It 

wasn’t uncommon in our 

group to see a handmade 

teddy bear riding with his 

head out a side window 

saying “hi” to other 

cars. We also had a giant 

stuffed puppy dog that 

kept popping up through 

a sunroof saying “hi” to 

passersby. It was a very 

fun and spirited drive. 

Our Maverick Region 

group donated $650 in 

assorted gift cards (plus 

four gift cards with no 

amount written on them; 

we’ve not yet had time 

to look them up on the 

various store websites) 

as well as approximately 

1,000 toys. The toys, 

stuffed animals, coats, 

batteries, diapers, sporting 

goods, and other items 

filled approximately half 

of a 12-foot enclosed 

trailer. It was a very 

successful year! To all that 

joined in, and all of our 

club, we are so grateful 

for continuing to support 

our Christmas.

Founders’ Day 2018: Board Election and Shoffit Award Presentation 

by Carey Spreen, Region Secretary 

photos by Wyatt Ramsey 

As stipulated in the Maverick Region Bylaws (http:// 

mav.pca.org/about/bylaws.asp), Article IX, the election 

of the 2019 Region officers took place at our annual 

Founders’ Day celebration on December 1, 2018. All 

four 2018 officers agreed to run for office in 2019, and 

all four were re-elected, as follows: 

• President: David Robertson 

• Vice President: Jim Falgout 

• Treasurer: Deborah Fike 

• Secretary: Carey Spreen 

The Board appreciates your participation in the 

voting process, and looks forward to serving you, the 

Maverick Region, and the Porsche Club of America in 

2019! We also hope that you can take part in some of 

our wide-ranging events this year! 

Also, you probably know that our long-standing 

annual award acknowledging outstanding contributions 

to Maverick Region, known as the Richard F. Selcer 

Memorial Award (http://mav.pca.org/about/awards/ 

selcer.asp), was retired in 2017 and replaced by the 

James Shoffit Maverick of the Year award. This 

award is presented by the current Region President 

to the person or persons whose participation made 

a significant positive difference to the Region in the 

past year. Region President David Robertson read the 

list of recipients from 1976 (Charlie Davis) through 

2016 (John Hamilton) to remind us of the history of 

this award and acknowledge those recipients, many of 

whom were present at the evening’s celebration. 

This year, David presented this award to someone 

who has spent a lot of time and made some great strides 

in improving the Region’s social events: none other 

than our Social Chair, Debi Kruder. 

Congratulations, Debi, for your continued 

efforts in bringing new ideas and concepts 

to our ever-growing social activities!

Being a first-timer to a 

Founders’ Day Banquet 

PCA dinner event, I really 

didn’t know what to expect. The only information my 

husband (the Porsche enthusiast) gave me was to wear 

a nice dress. I was quite anxious pulling up to the event, 

mostly because my husband had lied to me, and no 

other woman was wearing a dress! So after downing a 

little liquid courage and finding another “wife” friend 

who had been coaxed into wearing a dress, I relaxed 

some. And I had a fantastic time! 

Every person in attendance, regardless of age and 

gender, was very welcoming, interesting, and really 

down to earth. The event itself was well organized. 

Between the amazing location, cars on display, the photo 

slideshow, delicious food, and the amazing company, I 

had a wonderful time. 

I do feel the Porsche fans in this club are really what 

make it such an amazing group to be part of and enjoy. 

I am excited to attend future events with PCA (not 

wearing a dress)! 

P.S. - Apologies that my husband totally cut into the 

food line; he needed me to soak up some of the alcohol! 

See y’all next time (if he lets me come after this)!

Porsche Grapevine 

Photos by Paul Moseley 

Six-plus years as 

Founders’ Day Banquet 

members and we were 

Maverick Region Founders’ Day first-timers at the 

evening party at Porsche Grapevine. 

Having received a gracious invitation from Bill 

Kruder to represent the G-series 911 for the outside 

display, I did my afternoon obsessive/compulsive 

cleaning thing with the car, and missed every puddle 

between Fort Worth and Grapevine. 

Arriving before the party started, there was massive 

hustle-bustle, with Social Chair Debi Kruder showing 

why she would be recognized that evening as the 2018 

James Shoffit Maverick of the Year. Club members set 

up bid tables, dozens of chairs, and decorations, laying 

out Porsche-shaped cookies on each table. 

Having spent over 20 year in British car clubs, I 

wondered what Porsche people would be like. We know 

now that they are the best. This was such a perfect 

venue for meeting members and spouses outside of 

Mavs & Mochas events. 

We spent a long time at dinner time with Hill 

Country Rallye buddies Mark and Monda Hanna, 

talking about Porsches (of course), Porsche driver 

Patrick Long (Monda must be his fan club president), 

and interesting careers (I can say no more, really). 

It was such a great evening, and of course, a great 

venue, with only one disappointment. I thought 

that all of the Porsches on display in the showroom 

with bows on them were my Christmas presents.

favorites. Winners were awarded at the Founders’ Day 

evening event at the grand Porsche Grapevine dealership.

I can sum up our first 

ever Maverick Region 

Online Silent Auction in 

one word: GENEROUS! 

Wow! While searching 

for the perfect online site, 

contacting contributors for 

their gifts in support of the 

Hope House, and setting 

what I then thought was a 

very lofty goal of $12,000, I 

never imagined the results! 

After 8,605 page views, 

246 bids, and more than 

100 items sold, the results 

were unprecedented! The 

Maverick Region’s first 

online silent auction raised 

$14,821 to support the 

Huffaker-Hughes Hope 

House, a home for victims 

of domestic violence, 

achieving 123.5% of goal! 

When the bidding ended on 

November 25, I couldn’t 

have been prouder to be 

part of this generous group. 

Which item raised the 

largest dollar amount you 

ask? The rare gent’s 1956 

Rolex watch, which was 

donated in the final week of 

the auction by Watchman 

International, contributed 

25% of our total dollars 

raised! Congratulations and 

thank you to our winning 

bidder, Michael Hyatt, and 

the team at Watchman Intl. 

Which item had the 

most views and bids? 

That distinction goes to 

the COBB Accessport 

for Macan S/GTS/Turbo, 

donated by Growler Motor 

Labs, raising $885.00. 

This item caused quite the 

bidding war in the final 

Roberto Anderson’s 1963 356, and 1George Maffey’s 962 356 Outlaw

Other items that were 

highly sought after included 

the Apex Performance 

Radenso XP Radar Unit,

some good ole whiskey, 

and countless Porsche 

services and merchandise. 

A huge thank you to all 

our generous contributors 

and members who made 

this year’s first online 

silent auction such a 

huge success! The Silent 

Auction, coupled with 

additional generous 

contributions allowed 

the Maverick Region to 

provide $20,000 in cash 

and gifts to our Maverick 

charity, the Hope House!

Maverick Marktpreis: Sweet Spot 

by Peter Wen 

Didn’t get what you wished for this Christmas? End of year 

bonus burning a hole in your pocket? Well, Marktpreis is here 

to help! We have a list of Porsche good-buys to get you past the 

post-holiday blues. 

This list came from a seminar titled “Sweet Spots: Porsches to 

Buy on a Sensible Budget”. It was hosted by Hagerty Insurance 

at the Porsche Parade last summer. The star-studded panel 

discussed sub $50k Porsches to buy now for enjoyment and for 

value appreciation. 

The panelists advised to always buy the best conditioned car you 

can afford and to seek out unique or even weird colors. They 

also suggested over time, Porsche Cabriolet models will catch up 

or outperform their Coupe stablemates. Whoa! 

Winter months may be a perfect time to shop for your next 

Porsche. A couple of years ago the author bought a Cabriolet 

over Thanksgiving, from Buffalo, NY! Talk about negotiation 

power! Your dream car is out there waiting to be found. Good 

hunting, Mavs!

Coffee, Cars & Conversation 

by Bill Kruder 

photos provided by Raj Gill and Michael Durovick 

So this month’s member took 

a little longer to get to know; as 

a matter of fact, it almost didn’t 

happen. He had just bought his car 

and heard that on the third Saturday 

of every month a group would meet 

at Mayo Performance, but he wasn’t 

sure what time, so he assumed, 

knowing how car gatherings go, they 

start early. So he takes off for Mayo 

and arrives there about 8 am to find 

not a soul there, the place is locked 

up tight. He introduces himself to 

the first person who shows up, not 

realizing it is Ed Mayo himself. 

Well since then, his 993 has 

appeared at many of our different 

coffee meets around DFW and I 

got to know a very interesting and 

ambitious young man. 

So here is the next in my series 

of “conversations” I would like to 

share with you: 

Raj Gill, Member since 2017, 

Owner 1996 Polar Silver 993 Turbo 

Bill Kruder: So I know you are not 

originally from here. Where again 

are you from? 

Raj Gill: I was born and raised in 

Leicester, England, famous for 

winning the Premier League title in 

2016 with 5000:1 odds. 

BK: What brought you here? 

RG: Well, I was in the alcohol 

beverage business selling and 

delivering to pubs. It was physically 

tough, but I enjoyed it for the most 

part. Then in 2010, Nindi and I 

got married and we went on our 

honeymoon to Fiji, which included a 

six-day stop in Southern California. 

Nindi planned the whole trip, which 

included our first NFL game and a 

NASCAR race, along with anything 

else that would be the American 

experience. It was a packed six 

days. Once we returned we were 

back to our daily grind. Then in 

2011, Nindi said, “what if we work 

together in childcare?” I was all in! 

I didn’t even have to think about it. 

Still on our honeymoon period, we 

thought of the amazing time we had 

in the US! 

BK: So how did you and Nindi meet? 

RG: It’s funny. We both grew up in 

Leicester, same age, and went to the 

same University, but never knew 

each other. As it turned out, I had 

met her brother at University but he 

never told me he had a sister until 

after he got married, when he said 

he had someone I should meet. I was 

unable to attend his wedding, as my 

sister’s wedding was the same day. 

BK: Well how did you end up in 

Texas of all places? 

RG: We did our homework; we had 

three or four things we wanted. 

First, we wanted warmth and 

sunshine - remember where we are 

from (laughing). Then it was a good 

quality of life, good cost of living, 

and lastly business-friendly. All 

things pointed to Houston, Texas. 

BK: Why DFW then? 

RG: I had been to Florida 

and the humidly was crazy 

and Houston is known for 

theirs, so it was Dallas. 

It took us the better part 

of a year to decide. After 

a couple visits here, we 

moved in 2012. We moved 

a lot over the next five 

years. We went from 

Lewisville to Midlothian, 

where our childcare is, to 

Frisco, then Euless, finally 

settling in Grapevine in 

2016. 

BK: Wow, Frisco, that’s a 

long commute! 

RG: That it was, trust me! 

After the commute and 

working together all day, Nindi and 

I had nothing else to say once we 

got home (laughing). Grapevine is 

perfect, as it’s central, which has 

helped us grow our business into 

other areas. 

20 December

BK: Let’s talk cars. What was your first car? 

RG: My first car was my mum’s VW Polo GTI. I drove it 

two weeks before crashing it into someone’s garden wall. 

After that I had a Citroen Saxo with a 1100cc motor. It 

had the power of a hair dryer (laughing); guess it kept 

me out of trouble though. 

BK: So why the interest in Porsche? 

RG: Growing up in the ‘80s in Leicester, we would never 

see a 911, or many other exotics. 

In the 1985 movie “Commando” there’s bad guy getting 

away in a yellow 911, but he rolls it onto its side. Arnold 

Schwarzenegger kills the bad guy, and rolls the car back 

over, and drives off in it! It was awesome! And then Bad 

Boys movie followed in the ‘90s with the 964. I would 

say Hollywood started my interest in Porsches. 

BK: What was your first real exposure to the brand? 

RG: My father had been driving a 1992 Lotus Excel 

2+2. I feel blessed he thought of my sister and me when 

buying the 4-seater Excel, as his preferred choice was 

the 2-seater Esprit. As a family, we went all over the 

UK in it. I can’t describe how nice it was going out in 

a sports car as a family. But it wasn’t reliable! So in 

2001, I walked into my first Porsche dealership with 

my father, in Nottingham. Once there, we found out 

that the 996 turbo had a 2-3 year wait. Dad wasn’t so 

pleased with the attitude of this dealer, so we went to 

another dealer in Northampton a week later to hear the 

same thing. However this dealer recommended he look 

at a new car in the works, the 996 C4S. He could get it 

within 18 months. 

BK: And? 

RG: It arrived in 2003, a silver on red C4S. And he still 

drives it today! 

BK: Not many know that Porsche was not the first 

sports car you bought once you settled here. 

RG: I wanted to experience American muscle, so in 

late 2015 I purchased a 2009 Corvette. What’s more 

American than that (laughing)? 

BK: Lets talk about this 993. How did this come about? 

RG: It certainly wasn’t planned. Things were sailing 

along smoothly for us, and then we hit a bump in 

the road. Guess it kind of woke me up and just out 

of nowhere I thought ” I’m getting a Porsche.” I knew 

I wanted a 993. It was my childhood dream. So last 

year I started looking. I called about three other cars 

and wouldn’t you know it, they were sold. Then this 

993 Turbo came up out in Denver, so I flew out to see 

it. I think I drove it all of a mile and bought it on the 

spot. We are the fourth owner. It had stayed in Denver; 

it even had the original window sticker from Prestige 

Porsche in Lakewood. 

BK: What? Prestige Porsche was Hagestad Porsche-Audi. 

This is such a small world! I know Bob and bought his 356 

and also bought a 914 that was originally delivered at his 

dealership. Talk about six degrees of Kevin Bacon (laughing). 

Once again, when you are out at events, take the time 

to say hello to someone new. Make it a challenge to 

meet someone you don’t know, it’s too easy to stay in 

your close circle of friends. After all, it’s about . . . 

Driving Friendships.

Introducing Our New Drivers’ Education 

Chief Driving Instructor 

by TJ Kroehle, Region Drivers’ Education Chair 

We have some exciting news for the Maverick Region 

DE Program. We would like to formally introduce Craig 

Janssen as the new Chief Driving Instructor (CDI). 

Craig has had a fascination for fast cars and motorbikes 

since childhood. He was given a motor bike at 10, learned 

to drive a car at 11, and proceeded to terrify his family 

as he raced around their 4-acre small holding on his 

motorbike and the family car. 

He attended his first Maverick DE in 2003, and soon 

began to spend enormous amounts of time at the track 

in DEs and in racing his Spec Miata. Craig has served on 

the Maverick DE Instructor/Coaching team in multiple 

roles since 2010. He started working with the Green/Blue 

run groups, and also coached as an Advanced Instructor 

(AI) in the Yellow/White run groups. Recently he has been 

a leader of the Coach training program and teacher of 

various DE classrooms. 

Many of you may remember Craig teaching in your 

classroom, as he is easily identified by a strong South African 

accent. Craig’s strength is in his ability to communicate a 

complicated subject in simple terms that we can all relate 

too. He has the respect of his fellow instructors and DE 

participants alike. 

Not only is Craig a 

talented PCA coach, he 

has also been an active 

racer in both sprint and

Autocross Series: 2018 Wrap-Up and 2019 Preview 

by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair 

photos by Robert Kirby of Lightspeed Images 

At Autocross event 10, the final event of the season, 

119 drivers participated in the Guns and Hoses 

Fundraising event. Money raised goes to families of area 

police and firefighters lost in the line of duty. A total 

of $5,000 was raised and matched by our autocross 

partner, Equipe Rapide, and 100% of the winning 

drivers turned their event payouts over to Guns and 

Hoses as well, for another $435. 

Representing the police and firefighters 

were three two-driver teams driving 

police-spec sedans for the Guns and Hoses 

top honors. The Mesquite Police were first 

quick in their Dodge Charger Pursuit car. 

Be careful driving fast in Mesquite! 

This was a worthy cause! We plan to participate in 

again in 2019. 

Overall, in 2018, 301 different participants entered 

events a total of 912 times and made over 7,000 official 

timed runs. Of all these, 38 Porsche drivers entered a 

total of 118 times, and made 708 official timed runs. At 

each event, the fastest lap time of six runs determines 

the finishing order. The best seven out of ten events are 

scored for year-end Championship results. Trophies 

will be presented at the annual party in January. 

There were a lot of PCA activities this weekend so 

we had fewer Porsches than normal. There was one 

year-end championship battle still to be determined in 

class P1. Carolle Liu’s best seven events just eked out 

Amir El-Baghdady by one point this year. Amir had a 

couple mechanical issues this season, but promised to 

make more events in 2019 to improve his point total. 

Carolle and Amir will both get year-end trophies. New 

driver Mas Watamabe brought his Boxster S and took 

first in class over Igor Tulandin (Cayenne GTS) and 

Carolle at this event. He could upset everyone in this 

class in 2019. 

Class P4 ended up with five drivers in trophy 

positions: Mark Schnoerr, Sigrid Schnoerr, Ed Mayo, 

Carey Spreen, and Sue Crimm, in first through fifth, 

respectively. These drivers fought it out at most every 

event in 2018. 

Doug Edney scared other contenders out of class P7 

to earn first in class also. 

For 2019, there are a few Porsche Class re-structures 

to end up with eight classes. New is a special class to 

encourage the vintage/historic four-cylinder Porsches 

(356s and 912s) to participate in class P0 with the 

four-door Porsches. The other class designations have 

changed, but again pit the right cars in the right classes 

for another exciting season. The season schedule 

is posted in this issue, and there will be at least one 

autocross school as well. Come out and play with us or 

stop by to see what all the excitement is about.

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor 

by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor 

First things first this month, I need to correct an error. 

Last month I failed to correctly give credit to Tom Martin. 

Tom wrote the article summarizing the PCA tours trip to 

MSR. Accept my apology and thank you Tom for the great 

articles that you put together for the readers of Slipstream. 

Happy 2019! Wow, what a year 2018 was. What a 

great club to be a part of. If you haven’t been a part of 

other car clubs, or even part of a PCA club in another 

region, then you don’t know just how good you have it. 

We have so many passionate volunteers and even more 

passionate members, that make the events really special. 

Once a month you can show up and expect to see all 

manner of Porsche beauty at Mavs&Mochas. Or you can 

sign up for one of the tours or rallies and clear out the 

cobwebs. And these events aren’t just a few guys standing 

around a parking lot. We usually have over 100 cars and 

guys and gals visiting and sharing stories. It’s pretty great. 

The parties and social events also can’t be beat. Lavendou 

is back on the schedule and if you haven’t been a part of 

that event, consider making it a resolution to be there. 

If you’re like me and look at New Years resolutions to 

be a trap perpetrated by gym owners and well meaning 

mothers, you might be interested in finding out it was 

actually the Babylonians some 4000 years ago that we 

have to thank. They promised their gods to pay their 

debts and return anything that was borrowed in return for 

favor in the new year. Throughout the years the Romans 

and early Christians adopted the practice as a chance to 

reflect and resolve to do better in the coming year. 

Research shows that while 45 percent of 

americans say that they make new years 

resolutions, only 8 percent report being 

successful in keeping them. I have good 

news though, the Babylonian calendar 

began in March, so you can reassess and 

start over and be well within the statute 

of resolutions. 

Might I humbly suggest considering getting more 

involved in the club, events or even volunteering in 2019. 

You’ll meet some great people and get that sense of 

satisfaction that can only come from helping others. 

Wink, wink. But most importantly, I hope that you get 

out and Enjoy the drive!
