Maverick Trivia: Are you a Porschephile? Jerry DeFeo sponsored by Zims Autotechnik You can test your knowledge (or Google search ability) of all things Porsche by participating in the monthly trivia contest posted online at http:// mav.pca.org/trivia. Answers are due by the last day of each month. The winner of the trivia contest receives a $25 gift certificate from our sponsor, Zims Autotechnik. In the case of ties, a random drawing determines the winner. Here are the questions for the February 2019 Trivia. We went with a Trivia that brings Q&A this month dealing with all kinds of items about older Porsches. The Winner this month, getting all 5 of 5 correct was Bill Orr. Honorable Mention, also getting 5 of 5, goes to Cyril Reif and Tom Martin. In case of a tie, the winner is chosen by random drawing. 1.

2019 Autocross Series: Championship Event 1 by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair photos by Robert Kirby of Lightspeed Images Event 1 was held at one of the sites east of the Metroplex, Mesquite Memorial Stadium in Mesquite, TX. It was a cold and windy day but 90 drivers attended, nine in Porsches. The conflict with the DE and some others travels left many of the usual attendees out of town for this one. New Porsche attendees Dawn Marie Gray and Charlie Fick brought a Porsche Cayman GT4 and GT3 RS, respectively, to this one. Charlie did the first quick Porsche time today. Clay and Betty Perrine brought Betty’s beautiful orange 914 out, and Betty showed Clay how it’s done. We hope these guys all make it back to the next event, a MirrorCross at Mineral Wells. Mas Watanabe and Carolle Lui are going to make a fight of it in P3 this year. There is an autocross car control clinic at Mineral Wells Airport, scheduled for Saturday, May 4. In case you were wondering, drivers age 16 and 17 can enter, as long as they have a valid driver license (not a learner’s permit) and a consent waiver signed by a parent. As a note, the Event 4 has been moved from April 21 to May 5. The new Porsche Classes this year makes the FOUR DOOR cars very competitive for performance index-adjusted first quick Porsche. Igor Tulandin, autocrossing since last season, has been tuning his Cayenne GTS while refining his car control skills and is the first four door to win First Quick Index Porsche ever at one of our events! Congratulations Igor! We all have to go after him the rest of the year. Second and third quick Index were Betty in her 914 and Doug Edney in his 996. Contact Mark Schnoerr for details, or go to autocross.com and sign up for one of the nine remaining events this season. The full calendar is posted to the left.
