SPROCKETS: What Do You Think of the Taycan? 

by David Robertson, Region President 

It’s hard to believe that it is already October! We have 

seen a record number of events this year including Drivers’ 

Education events, Tours, Rallies, Autocrosses, Tech Sessions, 

Mavs & Mochas, Lunches, Happy Hours, and charity and 

social events. Throughout the next few months there is 

much more to come. There is something going on just about 

every weekend, so take a look at the calendar and come out 

to enjoy. There is really something for everyone! 

None of these events would be possible without our 

volunteers. Our volunteers come in many forms, from the 

chairpersons organizing the events themselves to those who 

show up and pitch in where needed. Our club simply would 

not exist without the many volunteers who give their time 

and energy to make sure everything goes smoothly. When 

you attend one of these events or even read this magazine, 

please say thank you to the volunteers who get it all done 

behind the scenes. 

In upcoming events I would like to hear from 

everyone about what they think of the new Porsche 

Taycan. I have seen prototypes but can’t wait to see 

the real thing. This is a huge step for Porsche that 

I don’t think we can even compare to any major 

change that has come before, such as the 928 front 

engine or the first water-cooled 911. I would argue 

it can’t even be compared to the hybrid models of 

the past few years. Are we witnessing the future of 

the sports car? 

From what I have read, the new 911 (992) is designed to 

allow for an electric motor as well. My biggest pleasure in 

being a member of the Maverick Region is speaking with all 

of you about these topics. Come out and join us; I promise 

that you will meet an expert on just about any question you 

have, or at least someone who sounds convincing! 

MAV OF THE MONTH: 

Craig Janssen 

As the DE Chief Driving Coach, Craig devours any book, video, or article that 

can help him drive faster and teach others to do the same. He is an Engineer by trade 

and is very analytical in his approach to making sure that the DE program is safe, 

fun and welcoming to all participants. Behind the scenes Craig also works countless 

hours to organize the operations of these events as only someone with a true passion 

for driving and sharing his knowledge with others can do. 

As a kid Craig participated in motocross, off road motorcycle enduros, threewheeler 

flat track racing, and surf racing a Hobie, but after a trip to Skip Barber 

Racing school in 2003 he says that the real game was on! 

Craig currently enjoys his Macan S when he’s not on the track. Thank you, Craig, 

for your passion and dedication for making the Maverick DE program a great part 

of the Maverick Region!

Getting to Know the Ladies of the PCA 

by Joann Talty 

photos by Michael Durovick 

Reaching out to some of the 

Maverick ladies for this feature 

opened my eyes, not only to the 

female car owners in the group, but 

to volunteers who’ve given countless 

hours and have been club members 

for a very long time. 

Fourteen women shared fun stories, proud 

moments, or great memories with me. Nearly 

every woman in this piece is in this club for the 

friendships, and most of us are eager to learn more 

about our cars and what we can do with them. 

While some women became Porsche 

owners through a significant other 

and park his and hers in their garages, 

I learned others fell in love with the 

brand early on. I was surprised to find 

that four of these ladies currently own 

more than one Porsche, some have a 

long history of Porsche ownership, 

and one woman’s household happens 

to hold 12 (admittedly owned by her 

husband, but still quite impressive.) 

We ladies like naming our vehicles, 

too, with “Baby” and “Beast” used 

more than once. 

Whichever models sit in our 

garages, I hope all of the female owners 

here agree with me when I say it’s good 

to be us! Ladies and gentlemen, let me 

tell you about a few of the Ladies of 

the Maverick Region PCA. 

Social Chair for monthly happy 

hours, Claudia Reynolds, drives a 

2014 Rhodium Silver metallic Boxster 

S named “Bonita” (aka the Little 

Devil Car when 

she displays her 

track number 

666.) She claims 

joining the PCA 

this past March 

is one of the best 

decisions she’s 

ever made. Claudia grew up drag 

racing in American muscle cars, but 

now enjoys her German sports car 

at the DE events, PCA rallies, and 

Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) 

rallies. Claudia shared a favorite 

Porsche moment from high school. 

Her best friend drove an orange 914 

with holes in the floor. Every time her 

friend turned left the horn sounded. A 

GT3RS is on her wish list and maybe 

a radar detector for those tickets she 

keeps collecting 

Jennifer Parma joined the PCA 

in 2018. She purchased “Indie,” her 

2007 Midnight Blue Boxster, on a 

whim. Both the aggressive body style 

and the fact that it is a convertible 

drew her in, but she admits once she 

drove it, she was hooked. Jennifer 

appreciates viewing and learning 

Jennifer Parma 

about the cars at various events and 

hopes to be more involved with club 

operations. Next up, perhaps? Look 

for her at the track. 

You may have met Olga Taylor 

in recent years, volunteering at signup 

tables with a friendly smile as she 

disperses helpful instructions. At age 

11, her Dad’s friend gave her a ride 

home in his 911 and she was drawn 

in by the style, sound, and interior 

smell. In 1979, she purchased her 

first Porsche: a black 1974 914 1.8L. 

She spent two years with the PCA 

in Oregon during the 1980s and has 

been a Maverick since 2017. She owns 

“Baby,” a 1980 Nutmeg Metallic 911 

SC Targa she purchased from the 


Hermosa Beach dealership owned 

by race car driver, car collector, and 

racing team owner Vasek Polak in 

1984. Her most recent acquisition is 

“Buddy,”a black 2009 911 Carrera. 

Olga enjoys both the helpful and 

friendly people of the PCA, noting 

the generous and loving technical 

guidance. 

Carolle Liu 

Carolle Liu loves COCO, her 

white 2005 Boxster, for its perfect 

balance on an autocross track. A club 

member for three years, she drives 

her first Porsche top-down as often as 

possible. You might catch her loading 

groceries into her bonnet. We know 

not to offer Carolle help if we see her, 

but for the frequent offers of assistance 

she receives, she’s been known to ask 

a few guys to return her shopping cart 

for her. Despite not hitting a cone all 

season, she was awarded with the 

“Cone Killer” award at a PCA party. 

Besides Mavs & Mochas and ER 

Autocross events, Carolle too, hopes 

to hit the track for a DE event. 

A former Boxster owner, Beckie 

Gomer currently drives “Pepper,” a 

white 2014 Cayenne, a birthday gift 

from her husband, Tom. Together, 

Olga Taylor 

they have owned five 

Porsches, but she 

credits meeting other 

women in the club as 

the reason she wanted 

her own. A member of 

the club since 2013, she 

values the friendships 

she’s made and the 

knowledge 

gained about 

other models. Mavs & 

Mochas, tours, and happy 

hours are some of her 

favorite events. 

Our next member takes 

her vehicle off-roading and 

overlanding. In October 

2017, she led a group along 

the trails at Northwest 

OHV Park in Bridgeport, 

maneuvering over large boulders 

and through crevices to show 

drivers what their Porsches can 

do. More recently, she’s planning 

an overland route near Corsicana, 

concluding at Angelita Vineyard and 

Winery. Six-year Maverick Sue Crimm 

Beckie Gomer 

just sold her red 1987 924S, drives a 

2009 Meteor Grey Cayenne, and is 

Sue Crimm 

looking for a Lava Orange Cayman. 

Sue enjoys autocross, tours, rallies, 

and going to Parade. 

Cyndee Ebeling 

If you see a 2016 Carmine Red 911 

Carrera GTS Cabriolet about town, 

on the tours, or on the track driving 

with the White group, 

her name is “Rebecca,” 

named after a redheaded 

ghost. The 

owner is seven-year 

Maverick, Cyndee 

Ebeling, who has loved 

Porsches since her 

teens. She’s owned a 

2008 Cayman S and a 

2013 911 Carrera S, 

loving the speed, the 

sound, and unique styling. Several 

times a year, she and her friends 

plan travels in their 911s featuring 

beautiful scenery, great food, and 

the curviest routes they can find. 

Has Kristyn Starr been your coach 

yet at a DE event? She’s been a club 

member since 2012 and owns her 

dream car: a 2006 Seal Grey Carrera 

S named “Baby.” While high school 

friends hung posters of heart-throb 

boy bands in their rooms, Kristyn 

7

hung a heart-throb car in hers. Encouraged by both parents 

to “buy the car” when she began looking, she went for it, 

figuring she’d get it out of her system after a few years and 

move on. “There is no moving on,” says Kristyn. In a 2013 

DE drivers’ meeting, she won the Toyo Tires Rookie of the 

Year Award. She found this special since she learned to drive 

a manual in her Porsche. How many people get to do that? 

Robyn Howard 

Our current swap meet chair, Robyn Howard, has been a 

Maverick member for 15 years. After her husband purchased 

a 911, she wanted one too. She’s owned a 1987 Guards Red 

924S and a 2003 Midnight Metallic Boxster. She currently 

owns “My Baby,” a 1986 Guards Red 944; “Molly,” a 

black 2002 Boxster S; and 

her “Beast,” a red 2001 996. 

Robyn plans to drive in a 

DE event someday when she 

isn’t working them. She has 

been a corner, tower, and grid 

worker at many events and is 

currently occupying the black 

flag post at our DEs. 

Twenty-two year member 

and multiple-award winner 

Wendy Shoffit has held 

countless positions with our 

club and has participated in all events but Concours. She 

has attended 19 Parades, auto-crossed, time-trialed, and 

instructed at the autocross schools. She is the current Club 

Race registrar and has done that for 18 years. Wendy has 

also served as the club Secretary, Slipstream Editor, Social 

Chair, registrar for DEs and autocross/time trials, and was 

the PCA National Newsletter chair for five years. A former 

Boxster and Cayenne owner, she now shuffles between 

“Ares,” her white 2016 Cayman GT4, and Artemis, the 

white 2016 Macan Turbo along with weekends in her 911 

racecar. When asked what else she’d like to try or drive, 

club racing and a Taycan just might be in Wendy’s future. 

Fran Ussery has been a Maverick since 1983 and has held 

various positions within the club including Region President, 

Slipstream Editor, and Slipstream Publisher. She also served 

on the National 

Parade Competition 

Fran Ussery 

Rules committee for 

12 years. She used 

to own a white 1966 

911 and a red 1986 

whale-tail Targa, 

but currently juggles 

between “Ayisha,” 

a silver 1973 914 

2.0,and “Jezabel,” her 

Speed Yellow 2000 

Boxster S. Loving the 

top-down freedom of 

a cabriolet, Fran shared a favorite Porsche moment with me 

from the fall of 2000 when she took a week-long Colorado 

road trip in her Boxster. Besides photographing her new car 

with beautiful mountains and golden Aspens, her bucket list 

included driving only state or county roads numbered with 

three digits or more, visiting small towns, eating at local 

diners, meeting someone new at each stop, drinking coffee 

atop a mountain, and executing road curves at twice the 

posted limit. 

Lastly, I reached out to 

Wendy Shoffit 

Linda Bambina, Teri Davis, 

and Jan Michel. Longtime 

Mavericks must surely know 

them since the three have 

been with the club since the 

‘70s and ‘80s. They’ve 

driven competitively, held 

multiple offices, and won 

numerous awards. These 

three are the pioneer women 

of our group, along with 

Fran, who got involved, 

provided a woman’s voice to the group, and made life-long 

friendships. If you’d like to be more involved with the 

Mavericks, there are a variety of opportunities. Pull any one 

of us aside, and we’ll talk you into it.

Maverick Partner Appreciation: 2019 

by Landon Stogner 

photos by Bill Middleton 

There are sayings such as “It takes a village,” “It was a 

team effort,” or “I couldn’t have done it without you.” All of 

these hold true when it comes to putting on all of the events 

we have yearly as a Maverick Region. 

On Saturday, August 24, we held our second annual 

Maverick Partner Appreciation, this year taking it back to 

premium thank you prizes next year, please reach out to me 

expressing your interest in volunteering to help out at one or 

more of our many events. Please visit our volunteer page and 

be sure to register so we can reach out to you as one of our 

helping hands. http://mav.pca.org/volunteer/ 

German roots: “Maverick 

Partner Wertschätzung.” 

We hold this free event each 

year with special invitation 

to our Club Volunteers and 

Advertising Partners as a 

way of giving thanks for 

supporting the Maverick 

Region. This year, the event 

was sponsored by Neiman 

Marcus Willow Bend in 

Plano. We were greeted with 

breakfast tacos, a Mimosa 

& Bloody Mary Bar, and of 

course hot coffee. Neiman 

Marcus opened their store 

early for nearly 70 Club 

Volunteers and Advertising 

Partners, allowing us to 

mingle through the store, 

driving friendships, as we 

enjoyed the food and drinks 

provided. And did we say 

raffles? Our new advertiser 

Neiman Marcus is always 

generous, with Kristen Wen 

winning lunch for four at 

their restaurant Mariposa, and Chris Flaugh, our Web Store 

Chair, winning a premier brand speaker. As a parting gift 

of thanks from the Maverick Region, each Volunteer and/ 

or Partner was given a logo coffee mug, a micro-fiber towel 

with the Maverick logo, and an oh so popular special event 

window decal.

In Memoriam: Warren Bischoff 

by Tom Martin, as told by Brenda Bischoff 

The Maverick Region mourns the loss of one of its dear 

members, Warren Bischoff. Warren passed away unexpectedly of 

natural causes earlier this year at his home in Highland Village. 

He is survived by his wife Brenda, daughter Lauren, and brother 

Scott and his family. 

Those who knew Warren remember him as a very sociable 

fellow; always greeting fellow Mavericks with a big hug and a 

smile at Monthly Socials. His was a commanding presence; a 

handsome, larger than life figure. If life were simply an episode 

of the old TV show Bonanza, then Warren would be Ben 

Cartwright, the patriarch of the family. 

A true renaissance man, Warren’s love affair with life manifested 

itself through his passion for cars, airplanes, history, art, books, 

film, travel, music, comedy, games and life’s simple pleasures. 

Warren harbored a long-time admiration for everything 

Porsche, fueled by his fascination with motor racing, and the 

heroes who piloted their Porsches to victory. 

Upon enlisting in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam conflict, 

Warren served as a helicopter mechanic while stationed in 

Korea. Stateside after his two year stint, he began his career with 

American Airlines, where he achieved the lofty status of master 

aircraft mechanic. Brenda and Warren married in 1975 and settled 

in Chicago, before relocating to the DFW Metroplex 29 years ago. 

In 2017, Warren joined an elite group of talented, seasoned 

individuals when he was presented with the Charles Taylor Master 

Mechanic Award, presented by 

the FAA only to those aircraft 

master mechanics who have 

successfully served for 50 years. 

Being a car guy, Warren’s 

experience as a master 

mechanic served him well, 

especially in the area of car 

restoration. He restored two 

Porsches, as well as some good old American iron from the 

Golden Age, and also a Ford Mustang that he lovingly restored 

with his daughter Lauren. 

When Lauren was in high school, the two embarked on a father/ 

daughter project to restore a 1966 Ford Mustang. The experience 

was a bonding one, and needless to say, the already beautiful Lauren 

attracted the attention of many of her male classmates when the 

project was completed and parked in the school lot. 

Brenda and Warren loved to travel together; trips to the 

Continent were followed by pilgrimages to Porsche Parade and 

Rennsport, where Warren reveled in the sights and sounds of 

Porsche’s racing machines. One year, he managed to wrangle the 

autographs of ALL the Porsche racing drivers present. 

As a gentleman, a husband and a father, and also a member 

of the Maverick Region, Warren will be sorely missed by all who 

were blessed to know him.

Maverick Drivers’ Education Series: Fall Events 

by Renee Hayden, Region DE Chair 

The fall season of High Performance 

Drivers’ Education (HPDE) events 

kicks off the weekend of September 

14-15 at Eagles Canyon Raceway 

in Decatur, TX. It’s our first trip to 

Eagles Canyon since the ownership of 

the track changed, and the track has 

undergone extensive rebuilding. The 

totally new asphalt is nothing short 

of amazing. The pavement at Eagles 

Canyon is as smooth and fast as the 

asphalt at Circuit of the Americas 

when it was new. The sight lines and 

safety are much improved because 

the hills that made for so many blind 

turns have been moved back and the 

track widened. If you haven’t been to 

Eagles Canyon in a while, you will 

recognize almost all of the track, but 

there are many changes that you’ve 

just got to see - and more importantly 

- DRIVE! 

If you missed signing up for the 

September event, we missed you 

too. The good news is that we have 

another event at Eagles Canyon the 

weekend of October 19-20. You 

will find information and a link to 

registration at http://mav.pca.org/ 

Events/DE/. Registration is open 

NOW. Don’t miss out! 

The final HPDE event of the 

season will find us at MotorSport 

Ranch in Cresson, TX the weekend 

of November 9-10. Registration 

for the November event will 

open on October 9. 

Maverick Region PCA HPDE 

events are open to everyone age 18 

and above, driving any car. You bring 

your car and your enthusiasm to have 

fun, be safe, learn, and make friends. 

We provide certified PCA coaches 

in your car, and present training in 

classroom sessions. Our events are 

extremely popular, an outstanding 

value, and sell out quickly. 

In addition to all the above, for 

our advanced run groups (Yellow 

and White), we now offer a new 

advanced coaching program, called 

Coach for the Day, tailored to the 

specific interests of the advanced 

participant. This new program 

provides the option of selecting one 

of our Advanced Coaches to work 

with you for the entire weekend or a 

portion of the weekend. Prior to the 

event, you work with your selected 

Advanced Coach to develop a 

list of skills and goals you want 

to work on during the weekend. 

This program will help you make 

significant progress in your driving. 

Best of all, this program is free! 

Come check us out!

Backpack Run: Murray Kustom Rods 2019 

by Paul Moseley 

photos by Paul Moseley and Dave Spencer 

It would make a great movie: When Car Worlds 

Collide (or, how a bunch of Porsche people ended up 

hanging at one of the best hotrod shops in the country). 

Cruising Instagram at midnight is a wonderful thing, 

there’s no telling what’s gonna pop up, but a mid-July 

post from Heath Murray, owner of Murray Kustom 

Rods in Fort Worth, caught my eye: 

“If you bring us a backpack, or about $20 bucks worth 

of school supplies, we will gladly exchange you a t-shirt 

of any size/color/design for this backpack or school 

supplies.” 

I “liked” 

the post and 

reached out to 

my partner in 

crime, Dave 

Spencer, for 

help. Not 

wanting to 

surprise a total 

stranger by 

just showing up, we reached out to Heath and made a 

visit to the shop, mentioning we’d like to bring a bunch 

of Porsches to mingle with the American iron, if he’d 

have us. 

Heath was fired up about the possibilities and began 

to reach out to other car groups. The end result of our 

August 17th gathering, the FWISD AVID effort, which 

helps 4,000 disadvantaged students, received over 200 

backpacks plus supplies from Heath Murray, the car 

community and the Maverick Region’s generosity!

Maverick Marktpreis: Cayman 987 

by Peter Wen 

“The thing about the Cayman is - gosh, I hope 

they don’t hate me for saying this - I think it’s 

just about better than any 911. The Cayman is 

one of the best-handling cars I’ve ever driven,” 

said Randy Pobst in MotorTrend magazine. 

The Cayman won the magazine’s 

inaugural Best Driver’s Car in 2009 by 

besting the likes of Audi R8, Corvette 

ZR-1, CTS-V, and MX-5 Miata. 

Yeah, the Cayman is that good! 

First launched in 2006, the 

Cayman is a coupé derived from 

Porsche’s secondgeneration 

Boxster. The 

two models are virtually 

identical except for the 

fixed top. Cayman’s 

hard top, along with an 

extra crossbeam behind 

the seats, made it twice as stiff and 

10 pounds lighter compared to the 

Boxster. With its supercar-like midengine 

placement, perfect balance 

was achieved. While Porsche made 

sure the Cayman can never truly 

challenge the flagship 911, its 

executives freely admit that the midengine 

layout of the Cayman is the 

dynamically superior concept. 

Upon introduction, the Cayman 

won “Best in Show” at the 

prestigious 2005 Frankfurt 

International Motor Show. Awards 

and accolades soon followed 

throughout 987’s seven-year 

production run. Today, clean, lowmileage 

examples can be found for 

less than $30,000. Just like Evander 

Holyfield, pound for pound, the 

Cayman is the Real Deal! 

Excellence’s magazine’s Porsche Buyer’s Guide offered these Cayman price ranges: 

’07-’08 $19k-$25k 

’06-’08 S $20k-$30k 

’09-’12 $25k-$35k 

’09-’12 S $33k-$40k 

’12 R $55k-$65k 

Fun fact: The name Cayman came from the caiman, a member of 

the alligator family. To celebrate its launch, Porsche adopted four 

caimans at Stuttgart's Wilhelma Zoo!

Coffee, Cars & Conversation 

by Bill Kruder 

photos provided by author 

Well, talk about a chance meeting! 

A few weeks ago I was working on 

putting a group of cars together 

for the Third Annual Park Place 

Luxury & Supercar Showcase. The 

one elusive car was a 924 - I know, 

right? For some reason, rarely do we 

have any show up at our monthly 

Mavs & Mochas. So, I reached out 

to our Membership Chair Jim Hirsch 

and asked him to pull the file on 924 

owners. Jim sends me a handful, but 

says there is this Guards Red 924 

Turbo that would be nice, as you don’t 

find that many. So I send an 

email to the owner and tell him 

what we need and to call me. 

Well within five minutes I get 

a call back and this guy is over 

the moon that we would want 

his car. We spoke for about 

10 minutes, during which he 

said he would be out at the 

upcoming Mavs & Mochas at 

Highland Park Village. Sure 

enough, that morning, along 

with nearly 200 other Porsches 

comes in the lone 924. 

So here is the next in my 

series of “conversations” I 

would like to share with you: 

George Snowflack, enthusiast since 2005, 

Owner, ‘76 914 2.0, 82 924 Turbo, ‘88 924S, 

and 2019 911T 

Bill Kruder: So where are you two from? 

George Snowflack: I’m a New Jersey 

guy; I grew up in Lake Hopatcong 

in Morris County not far from 

Morristown, about 60 minutes 

northwest of Manhattan. 

BK: And where did you go to college? 

GS: Wagner College in Staten Island, 

about 60 minutes southeast of Lake 

Hopatcong; I graduated in 2005 with 

a degree in International Business and 

Finance. 

BK: Did you stay near home after 

graduating? 

GS: Oh no, that wasn’t necessarily the 

plan, but I couldn’t have moved much 

further from home. I took a job in 

San Francisco and got involved with 

start-up software companies. 

BK: So how did you end up here? 

GS: After spending about five years in 

SF, my company presented me with 

an opportunity in Dallas, so I made 

the move and landed in the Midway 

Hollow neighborhood around 

Northwest Highway and Midway. 

George and Beth Snowflack 

BK: I understand you are married? 

How did you meet? 

GS: Yes, married to Beth for three 

years now. It’s kind of funny. I was 

hosting a customer dinner at Bob’s 

Steakhouse. Beth caught my eye from 

across the room - she just had this 

gorgeous smile - so I walked over by 

her (I had some “liquid” courage) 

and introduced myself to 

her and her mom who were 

enjoying an after-dinner 

drink. As it turned out, she 

had just moved to Dallas 

the day before! She was 

opening up a new retail 

store at Shops @ Legacy. As 

they say the rest is history. 

We now have two kids: 

Ella, who is 19 months, and 

Ava, who is two weeks old. 

BK: Let’s talk cars now. What was 

your first car? 

GS: It was red 1989 Toyota Supra 

followed by a VW Scirocco and a GTI. 

BK: Where does your car passion 

come from? 

GS: My entire family but mostly my 

dad; he always had this love of all 

things cars and motorcycles. As a kid 

he would take me to the New York 

International Auto Show at Javits 

Center. He really wasn’t a German 

car guy but just loved to work 

on and restore things. Nothing 

crazy; his projects were all about 

being kept original, reliable, and 

functional. Except the El Camino 

(laughter); we spent a lot of time 

working on my 87 El Camino: 

black with a 454 and a 3-speed. 

The thing has about 500 hp. It’s 

a beast. 

BK: Ok let’s talk Porsches now. 

What was your first one? 

GS: That would be my ‘76 914 

2.0; I bought it in 2005. When 

I was living in SF, my neighbor 

owned it; He had bought it brand 

new, and the car was solid. This was 

just another project I volunteered 

my dad to help me with (laughing). I 

kept it all original except the addition 

of Koni coilovers and some sticky 

tires. We’d drive it up and down the 

California coast on Hwy 1; actually 


my best memory in that car was our scuba trip. We loaded 

up the frunk with our scuba tanks and flippers and made a 

bunch of dives through the kelp beds of Monterey Bay. 

BK: When did you acquire the 924s? 

GS: Actually not that long ago. I bought the Turbo in 2017 

and the S in 2018. The cars are so much fun in a similar way 

that my 914 is fun, but they also share a lot of DNA with the 

Scirocco that I drove as a kid. That has to be one of the things 

that attracted me to the 924s. 

BK: Tell me about the 2019. Did you buy it local? 

GS: Man, I love this new 911 T that I ordered from Porsche 

of Ocala, which isn’t far from Tampa. I could have shipped 

it to Dallas, but what fun is that, right?! I asked my dad if 

he’d be interested in the 1,200-mile drive to Dallas and he 

agreed without hesitation. We planned out the perfect breakin 

drive, about 1,200 miles and 16 hours of driving with one 

overnight stay in Gulf Shores, AL. What’s so cool about the 

car is that it’s rather plain to the eye, and powered by the base 

Carrera 3.0 engine, but Porsche did something special with 

the T. They put it on a diet (the lightest 991 by about 60 lbs) 

by removing the rear seats and all of the sound deadening 

material throughout the car, and by stealing parts that are 

only available in the higher-end GT car lineup: carbon fiber 

buckets, lightweight glass, ceramic breaks, and a close-ratio 

7-speed manual transmission only available for this car. 

BK: So where do you keep this collection of cars? 

GS: I bought a garage at Garages of Texas - the Lakeview location 

near Love Field. I keep the cars on the first floor and converted 

the mezzanine into my office. We’ve hosted a few Garages and 

Gearheads events there. Look for the 924 and come say hello. 

Well there you have it: another what-if. Don’t miss out on 

those around you. Driving Friendships is what it really is 

all about.

Prolific Parade at Boca Raton 

by Wendy Shoffit 

James and I have now been to 19 Porsche Parades. 

We started going in 2000 to Sacramento, CA, and 

immediately fell in love with it. We have only missed 

one since (Portland 2006) when our schedules just 

wouldn’t allow it. Our daughter Jasmine started going 

with us a year after our first one, and has now attended 

18 – and she’s only 22! There have been some fantastic 

locations and some that weren’t quite as well-liked. 

This year was at the Boca Raton Resort & Club (a 

Waldorf Astoria Resort) in southern Florida. Talk about 

beautiful! This place was amazing. The rooms were less 

expensive than normal thanks to the group rates PCA 

National negotiates. Everything else was not cheap, but 

it’s what was mostly expected. I still opted out of the 

$15 Toblerone from the mini bar in the room! 

This was a great Parade for Maverick Region. At 

the Concours Banquet we were awarded Region of 

the Year for 2018! This is an amazing honor to be 

considered the best region out of 145 regions across 

the US and Canada. We had a good sized group in 

attendance to accept the honor. 

James Shoffit, PCA President - Tom Gorsuch, Linda and Alan Bambina 

and Wendy accepting the Membership Growth award 

Later in the week we received another big award for 

the Region with the largest actual membership growth. 

We increased our membership last year by 179 members. 

No other region was even close. 

The awards didn’t stop there. Jim Hirsch and Kurt 

Scaggs won first place in Class VI in the Newsletter 

Contest for Slipstream as well as Best Newsletter Cover! 

Not to be outdone, Bill Orr won BEST Overall Website! Is 

it any wonder why we are the top region??? Fantastic job! 

photos provided by Linda Bambina 

Parade isn’t just about national awards. There are four 

major competitive events (Concours, Rally, Autocross, 

and Tech Quiz) and several other supporting ones. While 

this year there were no Mavericks in the Concours, we 

performed well in the Autocross. Fran Ussery won second 

place in the S05 class in her Boxster S. Mark Steele took 

first in S11 in his 911 C4S. Ed Mayo and Julia Underwood 

both took first place in their P06 (men’s and women’s) 

classes in Ed’s ’72 911S. Pam Stubbs took first place in the 

Novice Class. Lastly, I also won first place in the P17 class 

in my Macan Turbo. It was a hot event, but a fun course. 

Not many Mavericks entered the TSD Rally, but Fran 

and Carl Ussery placed fifth in the Unequipped Class. The 

Briggs family was strong in the Art Show, with Heather 

winning first place in classic color photography and Reagan 

taking first place in the Young Artist category. Brayden 

Paes took second place in Young Artist. Jasmine Shoffit 

won second place in Computer Generated Art. Bruce 

Hollander won second place in Sculpture. Lastly, the Briggs 

kids excelled 

in the the RC 

competition, with 

Reagan taking 

first in the age 

8-9 group in 

both On-Road 

and Off-Road. 

Thomas also 

took first in on 

and off in his age 

12-13 class. 

For those 

who don’t feel 

like competing, 

Parade has much 

more to offer 

for attendees. 

Tours have 

become extremely 

popular. This 

year’s offerings 

included an 

Airboat Tour of 

the Everglades, an 

off-road SUV tour, 

Kennedy Space 

Center, dinner 

Top: Mavericks stick together, even in Florida 

Bottom: James showing off his Pink Pig Club 

Race shirt in the special “Pig Pen” area 


on a Riverboat, a visit to the Collier Collection, and many more. There’s just 

something for everyone. Kids are never bored at Parade with activities every day. 

They’re entertained with craft days, mini-concours and “anycross” competitions, 

RC cars, and the like. 

The Goodie Store is also strong during this week with Parade, PCA, and 

Porsche merchandise. You want to buy it? 

They’ve got it! The hospitality area is always a 

nice cool place to sit and socialize while enjoying 

complimentary snacks. Vendors are around with 

goodies to give out and advice/information for 

those looking for it. Knowledge seekers need 

look no further than the Tech Tactics, an all-day 

educational seminar series towards the end of the 

week. Fitness buffs can compete in the 5K Run/ 

Walk or Golf tournament. 

Add to this the FIVE available banquet dinners 

with fabulous food and door prizes, plus a 

Volunteer Worker Party (for those who work two 

or more shifts) where they give away multiple sets 

of tires - what more could you possibly want in a 

week’s vacation? Hopefully you will join us next 

year in Palm Springs, CA, June 21-27, 2020, or 

the following year in French Lick, IN, July 11-17, 

2021. Congratulations again to the Region and 

all the Award Winners. This was a year for the 

record books for sure.

How I came to love Porsches will either tell you how 

old or how young I am. Remember those Scholastic Book 

Fairs that were held in your elementary school libraries? 

When I was in the first grade, my father bought me a 

book, simply titled Super Cars. 

That book contained pages of 

sports cars with their 0-60 

times, engine specifications, 

power output, and general 

information. On the cover of 

this book was none other than 

the 993 Turbo. 

I would spend hours 

reading this book over and 

over again. The one car I fell 

in love with however, was the 

911. I would draw it over 

and over again and fantasize about driving one. When 

one passed on the road, I would shout out to all the 

passengers that there was a 911 in our proximity. I told 

myself that one my life goals would be to own a 911. 

This dream lived on even in my young adult years. In 

30 October

class I would sometimes get on my laptop and browse 

build threads on Rennlist and Pelican and just appreciate 

the Porsche community, while also thinking about what 

I would do differently if such a machine would ever 

come into my possession. 

Over time, the line that 

separated dream from reality 

started to fade, and I began 

The Search. Although it 

was the 993 that captured 

my heart, after years of 

researching more about 911s, 

I knew a 3.2 Carrera was the 

one I truly wanted (maybe a 

993 will be in my garage in 

the future!). After local test 

drives of both 915s and G50s, 

two failed PPIs on prospective 911s, and eight months 

of unhealthy obsessive searching (I had a process of 

several websites and search queries that I would run 

every day, multiple times a day), I found a 1989 3.2 

in Illinois. I put a deposit down, booked a one-way to 

Peoria with my girlfriend, and drove 800 miles home 

in my dream car. I’m sure all the other Porsche owners 

reading this will understand this, but the drive home 

was surreal. Maybe it’s the honeymoon phase, but I 

still catch myself just sitting in my garage sometimes 

looking at it. 

This isn’t a “Never Meet Your Hero” story. The 911 

has lived up to every expectation plus more. When 

I turn the key and hear the engine, smell the old 

leather, and feel how responsive the car is, I feel like 

that same six-year-old kid 20 years ago – only this 

time I’m not fantasizing. 

Hopefully, this won’t be my last Porsche, but I’m 

beyond happy to own this, and even happier to be a 

part of such an awesome community. In this era of 

technological advancement and the industry’s 

embarkment into electric vehicles with auto revmatching 

and other driver aides, I’ll be cruising in my 

air-cooled Porsche – with manual steering, that aircooled 

sound that can’t be replicated by a battery, and 

a driver connection that embodies what Porsche meant 

when they said “There is no substitute.”

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor 

by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor 

This month instead of debating electric cars or 

lamenting my skills as a mechanic, 

we’ll hear from a new voice. I’m going 

to introduce “Porsche” the puppy 

at Patriot PAWS that the Maverick 

Region has sponsored with the help of 

your donations. Patriot PAWS as many 

of you know is an organization that 

devotes their time and attention to 

serving American Veterans by training 

and providing high quality service dogs 

at no cost. These dogs help our vets to 

restore their physical and emotional 

independence. Here is the letter that 

we received from Porsche; she’s quite 

well spoken for a six month old. 

Hi. It’s me Porsche. I am almost 6 

months old and boy have I learned a lot 

since coming to Patriot PAWS. I am now 

with a DFW Puppy Raiser named Tammie who is taking me to 

all kinds of great places. We went for a demonstration at a law 

firm and also went to play. Two entirely different experiences, 

but I learned a lot from both. Cues I have 

learned in the last month include “Loose 

Leash Walk”, “Eye Contact”, “Go Now” 

and “Load Up”. 

My favorite toy is a ball, any kind 

of ball. As an only pup, I have learned 

that I can play all by myself when I 

need to. For example, I can roll the ball 

and fetch it too. I have learned a new 

cue called “Leave It”. That is when I 

am supposed to ignore things that I 

would like to pick up, but shouldn’t. 

And when I do it right, I get a yummy 

treat, so it’s worth the restraint. 

My Puppy Raiser says I am a sweet 

pup with great focus and I work hard 

and love to please. 

So, in closing, I want to thank you for 

supporting Patriot PAWS and making all of this possible. 

Love, Porsche.
