With life getting back in motion, now is the perfect time to discover a classic in the
making: Taycan. It’s the first all-electric Porsche sports car, with two permanent-magnet
synchronous motors generating up to 750 hp and acceleration faster than a skydiver in
free fall. Plus, an 800-volt battery that can be partially recharged to add up to 62 miles of
range in just over five minutes. And at Park Place, this new Porsche icon comes with a total
commitment to sanitation, safety and comfort every time you visit the dealership.
That’s what makes Park Place feel like Your Place.

Board Botschaft: Virtually New for 2021
by Bill Kruder, Region President
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t think 2020 was
ever going to end. But with a great sigh we can say we
made it. In looking back on it now, you might say it was
an interesting year. Maybe even a fun year with much reimagined
and many firsts.
Who would have thought we would have our first virtual
Mavs & Mochas? We enjoyed not one but two virtual
Happy Hours. We had two innovative Tech Sessions, the
last of which was broadcast live via Facebook. Board
meetings - we didn’t miss a beat, having simultaneous inperson
and virtual meetings, moving to all-virtual as the
year came to a close.
As the pandemic continued, ideas on the future began to
unfold. Slipstream, your award-winning newsletter, will take
on a new look, going to bimonthly publication in addition to
a new robust online magazine in the spring of 2021.
Events that once required paperwork went paperless. A
great example is our Rallies. Ginger and Tom Heuerman
re-imagined how they are done and created a completely
paperless event creating a new format with even more fun!
How about Founders Day? I can’t imagine a better
way we could have ended the year! Who would have ever
thought it would be an afternoon and outdoor event; more
about that on pages 8-9.
Our Concours Chair, Scott Kellogg, had to postpone
until 2021 what will be the biggest and best show ever
seen. But in the meantime, he pulled off our People’s
Choice show at the Founders Day Family Affair, not only
voting by classes this year, but also going paperless and
using our phones to scan and self-tabulate the winners;
more about that on page 14.
Membership, which sputtered early on, began to come
back, and we are again averaging 25-30 new members a
month, and as of this writing we will have over 300 new
Notes from our Zone Rep
by Chuck Bush, Zone 5 Representative
faces to drive friendships with.
And yes, we had our annual election of officers too, and
I thank you for once again allowing me to be President for
one more year; more about the election results on page 29.
So as we begin to think about 2021 we will continue to
keep the safety of our members as priority one. I thank you
for your patience and your kindness as we look forward to
another great year.
My wife Debi and I are honored to serve you and we
look forward to seeing you all soon.

One of the fun things about the
Porsche Club is the wide diversity
of our members’ interests. Some
folks are in the club for the social
aspects, some for the wonderful
Porsche Panorama magazine, some
for the motorsports, and every
other possible reason.
As the Zone Rep I spend quite a
bit of time at PCA Club Races, but
I am really not in PCA for racing.
I have great respect for the racers
and I really enjoy going to Club
Races, but spending a lot of time
on the track is not something that
motivates me. I am motivated by
the maintenance and restoration
aspects of Porsche ownership.
Sometimes I wonder if I enjoy being
under a car more than being in one!
Regardless, I still do quite a
bit of autocross and on-track
drivers’ education because I enjoy
challenging myself to be a better
driver. As I drive around our city,
I have come to appreciate the road
handling skills that have gradually
sunk in from autocross and DE.
These skills make me a much
more proactive driver as well as
improving my ability to handle the
car in unexpected situations.
So whatever your reason for
belonging to PCA, consider taking
advantage of the drivers training
offered by your region. You might
be surprised at how it can make you
a better driver and how much safer
and more comfortable you’ll feel
on the road. Practice makes perfect,
and as much as we drive, practicing
in the controlled environment of
an autocross or DE can do you a
world of good.
Be safe out there!

Founders Day Mavs & Mochas: Nordstrom NorthPark
by Rob Turner
photos provided by Paul Moseley, Scott Scheetz & Melissa Tuason
During COVID there are moments where you just
want to break free, even if just for a few hours to
remind ourselves collectively what it was like before
“The New Normal” set in. A lot of events have been
postponed or restructured during COVID. Even our
Founders Day was rescheduled. But fear not, faithful
Mavs. We are, if nothing else, intrepid in our quest to
drive our beloved P-Cars.
For this year, our annual Maverick Region Founders
Day has been expanded to - count ‘em - four events.
Kicking things off was the monthly Mavs & Mochas,
then a toy drive up to the Plano Police department, then
on to Grapevine Porsche for both The People’s Choice
Concours and the Family Affair luncheon.
One of the things that struck me was all the new
people that I met. Usually I spend time talking to a
bunch of folks I know, but I never got the chance. I met
a couple that had just moved from Orange County, CA
to the DFW area; another who had been a member for
a while, but this M&M was his first event driving a
sick (meaning way cool) Lime Gold 997; and a friend
of mine whom I finally convinced to both join PCA and
start coming out to M&M events. And he brought his
kids along too. Quote of the day: “Look dad, that car
has four engines just like yours,” said my friend’s son as
he pointed to a nearby 991 with quad exhaust. See, he
is already learning what makes a car go fast!
See you all next month at the next M&M.
MAVERICK REGION
FOUNDERS DAY 2020
four events , one great time
Mavs & Mochas, or as the cool kids like to
call it, M&M, started things off at Nordstrom
NorthPark, special thanks to Clark and Vanessa.
There was just a hint of chill in the air as cars
started rolling in about 8:00 am. But things
soon heated up - not the temperature so much
as a large gathering of Turbos. The Porsche 911
Turbo, in all its guises, was the featured car. Of
the 150 cars that attended, 27 were Turbos, or
almost 20% of all the cars gathered. Not bad,
Turbo folks!

Founders Day: Family Affair
by Debi Kruder, Special Events Chair
photos provided by Paul Moseley, Scott Scheetz & Peter Wen
Who would have thought we
could end such a challenging
2020 with one of our biggest
celebrations ever with fellow
Mavericks and their families
joining us at Porsche Grapevine for
the first ever Founders Day Family
Affair? Saturday, December 5th
included four great events: Mavs
& Mochas, Mav’s Toy Drive, the
People’s Choice Car Show, and
the Founders Day Family Affair
celebrating the Maverick Region’s
58th Anniversary!
Did somebody count 308 IN-
N-OUT burgers? Yes, that is what
our more than 350 attendees ate in
addition to 100 Twerk City Tacos,
and 181 Pizzeria Testa wood fired
pizzas. You could say we were a
hungry crew! Many thanks to our
participating vendors who catered us
even “animal style!” And for those
a little thirsty, Monkey Shoulder
Whiskey spoiled us with give-a-ways
including t-shirts, mugs, socks and
more with their refreshing cocktails
not to mention Manhattan Project
Beer Company with their amazing
craft brew. That coupled with 110
Sangrias and 175 Margaritas ensured
everyone had a good time!
8 January
What was the show stopper?
Hard to say! Many were in awe
of the big 18-wheeler IN-N-OUT
Cookout Truck with its multiple
canopies and as my son Conor said,
“it was the best IN-N-OUT burger
I’ve ever had!” Next, Chris and Kris
Fernandes drove in with their ‘67
Hippie VW Bus with great tunes to
set the stage for fun. Meanwhile,
the kids were enjoying games of
Maverick Cornhole, some Porsche
Autocross, and some Steel City Pops.
Outside the tent, our Mavs were
walking among the People’s Choice
Car Show with their favorite
cocktail, picking up a free cigar
from Kristoff Cigars, and well
enjoying all the eye candy! Many
Mavs stopped me to say it was the
best Founders Day ever, loving the
casual atmosphere, opportunity for
the entire family (we sure enjoyed
having ours there!), multiple food
and drink selections and well folks,
it’s likely to be a 2021 repeat based
on all of your feedback! I’m
thankful for the good that we can
take from 2020, for our fellow
Mavericks, and that we continue to
drive friendships!
Opposite Page from Top: IN-N-OUT feeds the crowd at the car show and Monkey Shoulder kept us lubricated. Chris Fernandes at the DJ booth kept us entertained
and no family outing would be complete without a Hot Wheels race or two. Above: Friends and Porsches definitely go together, especially on a cool sunny day.
Pizzeria Testa, kept the pizzas coming. The Stogner clan had the best seat in the house, unless you asked Linda Bambina rolling out with Alan.
Hope House and the Founders Day Silent Auction
by Debi Kruder, Special Events Chair
The Maverick Region is proud to be a partner of the
Huffaker-Hughes Hope House since 1993. Hope exists to
eliminate domestic violence. Our most significant financial
contribution is annually through our Founders Day Event
Silent Auction and this year was no different! The auction
had 244 bids raising nearly $10,000 for the charity.
What was the #1 purchased Silent Auction Item? More
than 50 Farm Road Coffee Mugs are now enjoying some
Maverick coffee time each morning.
What was the most active bid on item? The Hot Wheels
Collector Starter Kit, set of 9, donated by fellow Maverick
Peter Wen and won by our Club Race Registrar and COVID
Communications Chair Wendy Shoffit as a birthday gift for
her husband James.
Which item raised the highest dollar amount in support of
the Hope House? The Tactical Fleet Expel Porsche Bra Front
End Clear Bra raised $1,350 won by winning bidder Steve
Kennedy raising nearly 15% of our total.
And guess what? That’s not all.
While the auction raised nearly
$10,000, we also raise money for
the Hope House through our
People’s Choice Car Show and
online donations. The People’s
Choice Car Show Participants all
contributed $25 each for a total of
$1,850 not to mention our
Founders Day DJ Chris Fernandes
generously said he would entertain
us if the MRPCA contributed $500 to the Hope House. All
said, between our generous sponsors, our Silent Auction
participants, People’s Choice Car Show participants, and our
generous Mavericks the Hope House is receiving nearly
$14,000 as a result of the MRPCA Founders Day and Silent
Auction! I can think of no better year than this one to
contribute generously to the end of domestic violence.

Founders Day People’s Choice Car Show
by Scott Kellogg, Concours Chair photos by Carl Adee, Bill Beck, Rick Miranda, Paul Moseley & Scott Scheetz
Well we finally had a car show in 2020,
and what a show it was! Registration
maxed out and yet we still managed to
get them onto the show field … well,
show parking lot, but field sounds better.
It was a beautiful day once all the
cars started rolling in. We introduced
our Class judging at this show for the
first time to see how it would test out.
Things seemed to go very well, with
only a few tweaks for the upcoming
Concours in May 2021.
I would like to send out special
thanks to Scott Kerfoot for his help in
setting up the mobile voting for
everyone. He did an outstanding job
and I truly do appreciate all his help, as
well as the help of Landon Stogner and
all the Maverick volunteers!
Opposite Page from Top: “The Skittles” as they were known, stopped the show and were the subjects of more than a few photos as you’ll see this
month. Jason Morski and wife Carrie were double winners taking home not only the new Outlaw trophy, but also the President’s choice trophy for
their 1976 911S. Carl Adee with daughter Olivia enjoy Founders Day Family Affair. Above: Jim Mango puts the finishing touches on Kermit
Founders Day Toy Parade
by Paul Moseley, Photography Chair
A very important part of the Maverick Region Porsche Club
of America’s Founders Day observation is the annual Mavs Toy
Drive that benefits The Plano Police Christmas Cops. An
estimated 100 Porsches participated collecting nearly $1800 in
gift cards and over 500 toys, clothes, and other essentials. Drive
leader Glenn Burgess and his wife Pier accepted a plaque from
Plano Police Lt. Alicia Nors at the department. As Maverick
tradition, Ginger Heuerman was there too with her annual
handmade bears made with love . The participation by Mav
members helps those in need, both children as well as adult family
members, during the holiday season. Good on ya Mavs!

Equipe Rapide (Maverick Region’s autocross partner)
President Andy Cost designed a very challenging course
combining acute turns, decreasing radius turns, high
speed sections, and a very fast finish. The event pulled
in 123 entries, 19 of whom drove Porsches, with a total
of 738 timed runs for the day. Since this was a charity
event for Guns and Hoses, the Police and Firefighter
Foundation, Maverick PCA donated $1000.00, with
Equipe Rapide donating another $5,000.00. Participants
could “buy back” any cone penalties for $5.00 per cone,
thus improving their scores; all participants donated
their PAX award payouts; and the Guns and Hoses
Team set up their swag store, selling burgers, drinks,
and chips, to do very well for the organization we are
supporting. Thank you all for your contributions.
Since this was the last event of the season, some class
championships were on the line, which we can report
on after the Awards Banquet takes place this month.
Igor Tulandin again showed us how quick a Cayenne
GTS can run in anger by winning class P0 over newcomer
James St. Peter in his Macan Turbo. James brought his wife to
drive her Audi A5 in class DSL, where she improved her time
each run, and is going to be another quick driver next season.
In P1, Joe Wilkinson wheeled his 1974 911 Carrera to the
win over Mark and Sigrid’s 914, taking 1st to 3rd in class
respectively. Ed Mayo and Julia Underwood brought their
914 back to this event to round the class out with two drivers
in each car, including Joe’s son Scott in the ’74 Carrera.
In P2, Carey Spreen, Boxster S, barely edged out Doug
Edney, 996 coupe, for the win, with Russ Rosenberg, 996

Maverick 914’s ready for war at the last autocross for 2020
Cab, and newcomer Craig Sims, 2010 Boxster, also turning
in respectable times.
In P3, Reid Cloud continues to fly in the all-Cayman S
and -GT4 group at this event. Calvin Yeh, along with Steve
and Sherry Farnham, came in 2nd to 4th respectively.
P4 is for the newest cars, and Steve Krysil showed us
how quick the new 992S can be right out of the box.
In P6, Robin Howard drove her red 996 to the win over
the beautiful red 914-GT 4.0 of Clay Perrine.
The Awards Banquet takes place on January 16, and
the 2021 event calendar will be published as soon as we
have it finalized.

Maverick Marktpreis: 911 Turbo
by Peter Wen, Region Merchandise Chair
Turbo: noun - A method of forced induction that uses
exhaust gasses to turn a turbine, to force more air into
the engine.
Jeremy Clarkson’s translation: “POWERRRRR!”
Introduced as a 1975 model at the Paris Auto Show,
the 930 Turbo could do 0-60 in less than five seconds,
completely blowing away all contenders in that era,
including Ferrari’s time of eight seconds! Forty-five
years later, “Turbo” remains the flagship for Porsche.
The last three years have not been kind to air-cooled
Turbos. The OG 930 led the way with a valuation drop
of 22%. On the other hand, the often-overlooked 996
gen Turbo had an impressive 16% gain. The Goldilocks
997 gen is now near the bottom of its depreciation curve.
Turbos are the pinnacle of Porsche engineering and
opulence. Happy 45th birthday, 911 Turbo!

and a pair of Macans (his and hers).
And you would still have $100 leftover

What a year 2020 was! It’s nice
to be able to say 2021 is here at last.
To start the New Year I wanted to
share with you what may be the
busiest club volunteer we have. You
all know his work as our Editor,
but a lot of you don’t know before
that he was our club ad designer.
Not only did he do that, but he is
also credited with taking our crazy
idea of making a “brand” out of our
coffee meets. We gave him the name
Mavericks and Mochas and a
few days later he said “I have
an idea: do you like ‘Mavs
& Mochas?’” Well of course
we did, and with that you see
this brand image on coffee
mugs, tee shirts, window
stickers, our tent, and more;
in my marketing days we
called this “synergy.”
Not only is he busy
creating our award-winning
magazine - you will often
catch him out at many
events. I’m proud to call this
guy my friend and a great
“partner in crime” as we say.
So here is the next in my
series of “conversations” I would
like to share with you . . .
Kurt Scaggs, Member since 2013
1986 944 Turbo and 1987 Carrera
Bill Kruder: Let’s start off with the
usual. Where are you from?
Kurt Scaggs: Well I was born in
Houston, but we moved when
I was two to Slidell, Louisiana,
which is off the northeast shore of
Lake Pontchartrain, or about 45
minutes northeast of New Orleans.
I graduated from North Shore High
School in 1991.
BK: What about college - did you stay
in-state?
KS: Nope, I didn’t, for a couple
reasons. One, it seemed everyone
from high school was going to LSU
20 January
Coffee, Cars & Conversation
by Bill Kruder, Region President
and I really didn’t want to just spend
another four years with the same
group of people. And secondly, my
dad took me to a Texas Tech game
and we sat with the band, and I guess
that sold me. Well there is actually a
bit more to it. My dad and mom both
are Tech grads; matter of fact my
grandmother is too, so maybe that
had some influence on my decision
(smiling).
Kurt and Melissa Scaggs with son Wilson
BK: Wait a second - most people visit
a college but they don’t go to a game
and sit with the band?
KS: I know right? Sounds kind of geeky
(laughing) but the story behind that is
that I was in my high school band, and
then on top of it, the band instructor
at Tech was best friends with my dad
and insisted we sit with them.
BK: So you played in the
marching band?
KS: Yes I did. I was a
trombone player. I started
in middle school, played in
high school, and in my dad’s
footsteps played for the 450
member “Goin’ Band from
Raiderland”.
BK: So did you get a music
degree?
photos provided by Kurt Scaggs
KS: Oh no! I was a Fine Arts
major getting my degree in Design
Communication and Packaging Design.
BK: So that’s what you do now?
KS: It is. I’m one of very few people
I know that do precisely what they
studied in undergrad. I started out
designing product packaging for
H-E-B Grocery when we lived in San
Antonio and have remained in that
business every since. I now
run my own design business
specializing in retail food
packaging.
BK: So how did you and
Melissa meet?
KS: We were both in the same
church youth group. We
knew each other but we did
not start dating until I was
a senior in high school (she
was a junior).
BK: Wow! So a year later you
go off to Tech, which is some
16 hours away?
KS: I know, right? Then,
when she did graduate, she went
off to UT in Austin for her first
year before transferring to Tech.
Once graduating, we moved to San
Antonio so that she could attend UT
Dental School.
BK: So how did you two end up in Dallas?
KS: Once she finished in San Antonio
Kurt and his parents at an Alumni Band event at Tech
she did a one-year residency at Baylor
College of Dentistry of Dallas before
setting up practice in the area. And
with my work I could more or less
work anywhere.
BK: So how long have you been
married?
KS: We dated for 6 years, got
married in 1997, and had Wilson
in 2012.
BK: Ahhh yes, Wilson, love the
name. Where did it come from?
KS: That was Melissa’s
grandfather’s middle name and
we thought it would cool to keep
the name in the family. An added
benefit is that he rarely gets confused
with anyone else.
BK: Now let’s switch subjects to cars.
What was your first?
KS: My first car my dad brought
home for me was an ‘85 Honda
Accord hatchback. I think it had less
than 100 horsepower, and when I
was given the keys, I was encouraged
to keep in under 3,000 RPM’s
for the sake of the engine. Not a
chance. Then I had an equally high
performance ‘89 Accord, white with
burgundy. It had those cool pop-up
headlights.

BK: What was your first Porsche?
KS: That would be the Guards Red
‘87. We bought that in 2013 shortly
after Wilson was born.
Although Wilson currently prefers Mustangs,
he never turns down a ride
BK: So why Porsche?
KS: Like so many boys when I was
growing up I’d built model cars -
matter of fact at the time my favorite
was the 993. Hours of pouring
through my Dad’s car magazines
helped drive the dream.
BK: So what made you finally buy one?
KS: I was at a Classic BMW Cars &
Coffee and I saw a 1969 Tangerine
911 and I started talking to this
guy - he had this long hair, a beard,
sounds kind of tough (smiling) and he
told me everything I wanted to know
about the cars
down to the best
model to get into.
After some time in
the club I met Bob
Aines again for the
first time. Bob is
a local legend for
those who don’t
know him and I
credit him with
passing on the
Porsche passion.
BK: Where did
you find the car?
KS: I started
looking online
and found this
one in Stow,
Massachusetts
which is right outside of Boston. I
bought it sight unseen after a PPI and a
subsequent conversation with the fine
folks at Mayo Performance. The car
rolled out of the transporter and
found its way to Bedford for some
maintenance shortly thereafter
and it’s been love ever since.
BK: Now I know a bit about the
944, as you bought that from
our mutual friend?
KS: Yes I did. In high school
the 944 Turbo was the car
in my daydreams. I started
poking around, and Jim Hirsch
mentioned he was looking to
sell his. Anyone who knows
Jim knows how particular he is, so
I knew I was getting a great car. I
purchased the car in late summer
of 2018 and proceeded to drive it
out to Rennsport VI at Laguna Seca
a few weeks later. Not only did I
caravan out with some fellow Mavs,
I was able to do parade laps on the
legendary track. Another childhood
dream checked off the list.
BK: Lastly, how did you, or why did
you, get so involved in the club?
KS: As soon as we had bought the
‘87 we joined the club and started to
attend some events. We also started
getting Slipstream. I saw an ad asking
for volunteers and decided why not
jump in. I met with Jim, then editor,
he sold me and the rest as they say
is history. Looking back, it’s the best
thing I could have done, though I will
say I never thought I would be Editor
of the club magazine.
BK: Interesting! That darn Jim Hirsch
did the same to me (laughing).
Well there you have it: as of this
writing, Kurt Douglas Scaggs not only
is the best Editor, but he is the recent
recipient of the James Shoffit Maverick
of the Year Award for his continued
volunteer work for our club. See page
14 for more on this award.
I’m proud to say Kurt and I have been
driving our friendship since 2013.

Mavs and Mochas: Granbury, Texas, November 14
by Jimmy Gallegos, Charity Chair
photo by Ryan Pafford, Shad Ramsey Photography, Scott Scheetz
It was a bright sunshiny, breezy
November day in downtown Granbury
where 85 Porsche drivers gathered in
the town square. We were greeted by
John Hamilton from Autobahn with
more donuts and coffee than we could
Landon Stogner & Sons parking team
handled our parking needs.
Granbury is often called the smallest
big town in Texas with a beautiful
lake and over 700 hotel rooms and
Bed & Breakfast businesses. They are
Bank. This year Mavs and Mochas
Canned Food Drives have collected
over 4300 pounds of canned food to
give back to the communities where
we live. Chantel Tennyson was also
there to sell exclusive Patriot Paws

consume. What a treat! Also making
us feel at home were members of the
Chamber including President/CEO
Mike Scott (Mav member) and Tammy
Dooley, Chamber Director, and their
team. They ensured we had plenty of
parking around the town hall building
and asked downtown restaurants to
open early to meet our drivers. The
famous for big 4th of July celebrations
that are attended by people from
surrounding cities in the area. Did
someone say Mavs Pop-up July 4th
drive and weekend stay? Sounds like
great fun!
It was also a Mavs canned food
day and we collected 200 pounds of
canned food for the North Texas Food
T-shirts. T-shirts are still available for
purchase by contacting Chantel or
Jimmyg Gallegos. Mavs donated over
$300.00 in cash that will go directly
to Patriot Paws. Another example of
Mavs paying it forward. Thank you!
It was great drive and beautiful day

Maverick of the Year: Kurt Scaggs
by Carey Spreen, Region Vice President
Since 1976, the Maverick Region
President has named a person (and
sometimes a couple of people) as
having made outstanding contributions
to the region, as well as inspiring others
to do the same, during the past year.
This trophy was called the Richard F.
Selcer Memorial Award for Superior
Performance and Dedication until its
retirement in 2017, at which time it was
replaced by the James Shoffit
Maverick of the Year Award.
At the 2020 Founders Day
event, which took place at
Porsche Grapevine on Saturday,
December 5, the Maverick of
the Year award went to Kurt
Scaggs, the Managing Editor of
Slipstream, Maverick Region’s
monthly magazine.
Kurt, a member of
Maverick Region since 2013,
first joined the Slipstream
staff in January 2017 as the
Event Ad Designer, where he
designed and produced the
print and web ads for our upcoming
events. When then-Editor Jim Hirsch
made plans to step down in at the end of
2017, he had already recognized Kurt’s
abilities as a graphic designer, and was
able to convince Kurt to take over the
reins at Slipstream. The transition
and hand-off of the Managing Editor
position usually takes time, but by April
photo provided by Scott Scheetz
of 2018, Kurt was already at the helm,
continuing in his Event Ad Design role
until he could find a replacement.
Since that time, Kurt has made many
improvements to Slipstream, and has
won two National awards for it: first
place in Class VI (regions with 1,650 or
more members) in 2018 (awarded at the
2019 Porsche Parade), and second place
in 2019 (awarded on-line this year).
And of course, during the pandemic,
most of our events went on hiatus,
but not Slipstream – Kurt continued
to put together a 36-page issue every
month. He has also been working on
a wholesale revamp of Slipstream to
allow it to be published to the mavpca.
org website every month, while still
publishing a print version every two
months. This will save Maverick
Region a large amount in printing and
mailing costs.
Please join us in congratulating
Kurt Scaggs as the 2020 Maverick of
the Year!
Maverick Region Executive Board Election 2021
by Carey Spreen, Region Vice President
Per Maverick Region’s bylaws (https://www.mavpca.org/
about/bod/bylaws/), a three-person nominating committee
consisting of Jim Hirsch (Chair), Mike O’Hare, and Mike
Mahoney provided a list of candidates for the four Executive
Board positions, as follows:
President: Bill Kruder (incumbent)
Vice President: Carey Spreen (incumbent)
Treasurer: Chris Flaugh (incumbent)
Secretary: Olga Taylor
Mail-in ballots were available in Slipstream, and
were accepted until December 1, 2020. An in-person
election, open to all primary and affiliate members
of Maverick Region, was held at the Founders’ Day
celebration on December 5. The mail-in and in-person
ballots were counted at Founders’ Day as well, with
the official result that all four candidates were voted in
unanimously for 2021.
I’m sure I speak for the Executive Board by saying
thank you to all who voted, and that we look forward
to serving Maverick Region in 2021, which we hope
will be a return to a more “normal” (i.e. pre-pandemic)
year of events for all of us!

Hope Christmas 2020
by Bill Middleton
As expected, Hope Shelter
Christmas 2020 was – by necessity – a
bit different. The usual big party at the
nearby church community center had
to be cancelled. What to do??
Get creative – that’s what to do!
So – on December 9th, some of
Santa’s ‘elves’ went shopping, with lists
in hand, to fulfill the wishes of kids being
served by the Shelter that otherwise
would wake up to an empty tree. With
much dashing and dodging and ‘where
would they hide this thing?’, the ‘elves’
completed their mission – and the dash
to a Hope Christmas was underway!
From the 9th to the 12th, more ‘elves’
boxed, bagged, stuffed, wrapped, and
otherwise packed dolls, trucks, scooters,
and other toys and goodies of all shapes,
sizes, and colors – until an entire office
was nearly full of multicolored packages,
waiting for the big day!
Then – with great anticipation – on
Saturday the 12th, as arranged, Santa
in all his red and white finery, made an
early appearance in Mineral Wells, just
to deliver all those goodies to some very
special kids! As quickly as he’d appeared,
Santa – needing to fulfill the wishes of
other boys and girls – said his goodbyes,
wished everyone a Merry Christmas, and
disappeared – off to bring the magic of
Christmas to many others.
The Maverick Region has had
Hope Charities in Mineral Wells as its
regular charity for over 25 years now.
The Shelter provides a safe haven for

services and children’s aid services,
and many other forms of assistance. It
serves the five county area just west of
Fort Worth, but has provided services
to those in need from the DFW area
and as far away as the West Coast when
no other facility could help.
Each year, Maverick Region via
primarily Founders Day events and
the Silent Auction provides substantial
financial assistance to Hope. This year
especially, with Hope not being able to
hold its usual summer fundraisers, our
assistance filled a critical need in their
programming. Maverick Region gave
to Hope a little over $15,600.00 that
will keep their programs of providing
safe haven for those most in need alive
and well for another year.
We couldn’t do it without all of
YOU!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
If you’d like more information about
Hope Inc., and the Region’s involvement
with them, please contact the Charity
Chair, Jim Gallegos.

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor
by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
We’ve just wrapped up what was certainly a unique
year in the history of the Maverick Region. Virtual Happy
hours and socially distanced drives though the countryside.
These things don’t just happen on their own though. We
owe Claudia and Jeff Reynolds thanks for toiling away and
recruiting such great online hosts. Special recognition goes to
Frank Zack for making sure we had enough drinks to make
it through quarantine. Our volunteer chairs remained busy
last year despite the restrictions. Tours toured, rallies rallied,
autocross...crossed. and we generally made the best of it. We
even squeezed in a car show.
I’d like to thanks a few of our Slipstream contributors that
I can always count on to bring you interesting, informative
stories. Peter Wen began contributing Maverick Marktpreis
August of 2018 and for over 2 years he has highlighted the
values of the cars we love. Not a month has passed that I
haven’t learned something from his article. Thank you Peter.
Our President, Bill Kruder, began his monthly column in
September of 2016. That’s a lot of coffee Bill. Although I
think you might be running out of interesting folks to talk to
if this month is any indication, I do look forward to what you
have for us in 2021.
Many talented folks willing to contribute are reason this
publication is possible. Names like Rob Turner, Joann Talty,
Mark Schnoerr, Mike O’Hare and Michael Baynton probably
sound familiar and we’re lucky to have them. There is one
person that works behind the scenes every month to keep the
quality high and the word butchering to a minimum. Carey
Spreen is the content editor, and I literally could not do any of
this without him. The next drink is on me Carey.
Next month, Slipstream Online will launch (with any
luck.) As has been mentioned elsewhere in this month’s
issue, things will be changing a little for 2021. We will still
be publishing Slipstream in printed form on the odd months.
Even months will now be online only. The reason for this
is twofold. First, the obvious financial savings will allow us
to have more flexibility in bringing you more high quality
events. If Founders Day is a preview of the things to come,
I’d say we’re in good shape. The second reason is to allow
us to bring you relevant information about the club and club
events more quickly and accurately. Slipstream Online will
not replace mavpca.org, it will simply give a new place to see
what’s going on with your club.
I’m looking forward to getting back in the groove so to
speak, and enjoying some time with my Porsche friends. I
can’t wait to see you out there so we can enjoy the drive!
