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 <strong>2019</strong> 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!
