If you like beer and Porsches, then the fourth<br />

Maverick Tour of <strong>2019</strong> was for you! Even if you don’t<br />

like beer, this tour was for you!<br />

The “Here, There, and Everywhere” Revolver Tour<br />

took place on Saturday, June 22, and ended at Revolver<br />

Brewing in Granbury.<br />

This tour had something for everybody: hills,<br />

valleys, turns, twists, long straightaways, country<br />

driving, city driving, great weather, good music,<br />

good food, and did I mention really good beer?<br />

The day started at the High School in Weatherford<br />

with 106 cars and 177 attendees. That broke last year’s<br />

count by 20 cars! The tour wound its way through the<br />

towns of Lipan, Bluff Dale, and Paluxy to name a few,<br />

before arriving in Granbury, and covered 83.9 miles.<br />

Helping herd all of those Porsches were nine Volunteer<br />

Group Leaders, who included Mark Pitarresi, Jay<br />

Lynch, Scott Garwood, Ted Martin, Ed Martelle, Tim<br />

Schutze, Paul Ozmer, Mike Farrell, and Sam Bryant.<br />

Once everyone arrived at Revolver Brewing, they<br />

were treated to their own private parking area away<br />

from the white gravel of the standard parking area, and<br />

things only got better from there! A $10 admission got<br />

you a logo pint glass, beer tastings (for those over 21,<br />

of course ), live music, and a tour of Revolver Brewing<br />

plant. How awesome is that?<br />

Overall, the fourth tour of <strong>2019</strong> brought out a lot of<br />

Porsches and a lot of smiles on those who participated.<br />

Some tour veterans went so far as to say this was the<br />

best tour yet.<br />

The next Maverick tour is Sunday, September 15,<br />

and will end at the Eagles Canyon Raceway. Registration<br />

for the tour will open <strong>August</strong> 15. It is our annual charity<br />

drive, so stay tuned for more details to follow soon.<br />
