Board Botschaft: A Few of My Favorite Things

by Olga Taylor, Region Secretary photo provided by Paul Moseley

Beyond raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, I thought I’d dedicate time to more of my favorite things. To be clear, Porsches rank high on my list of favorite things. But, beyond the obvious thrill of firing one up for a drive, let’s move on to some additional favorite things. Yes, being a member of the Maverick Region PCA and our members fall on the list. You are fun people who love Porsche—that’s a match for me. Moving beyond love of Maverick members, indulge me as I take you through a few of my favorite Porsche things

Sounds

Oh, how I love the sound of Porsches! Whether it is the distinctive hum of vintage cars or the roar of modern ones, the sounds are so enjoyable. For these modern ones, I love the deep roar of the engine when the ignition switch engages. Not to be outdone are the rumbling sounds of turbos and supercars. Yes, I like to hear Porsches with modified exhaust too. Forgive me if I failed to mention your model—I learn new things about Porsche models every day. Still, in my world, nothing compares to the Porsche sounds I heard at Portland International Raceway during the 1986 IMSA Camel GT (https://www.youtube.

com/watch?v=urDSyfnQvHk). It was a truly magical day. Sounds made by Porsches are among my favorite things. So, when you see me straining my head or gawking when you fire up your ride, relax. There is nothing wrong with your car. Everything is right with your wonderful Porsche. I am simply savoring the visceral sounds it makes.

Variety

Full disclosure: it’s taken personal growth for me to embrace Porsche’s expansion beyond sports cars. Due to an unpleasant encounter where a Porsche dealer told me that

the 928 would replace the 911, I bore personal animus against the thennew 928. Fortunately, 911s remained relevant, and I warmed up to their entire category. Then, just like that, a stylish sports car showed up—Boxsters have always been sassy and fun. Yes, I love Caymans too. From the start, I was sold on the Cayenne as the standard bearer for the SUV category. Not to overlook the Macan; I think these are great too. Having driven a Panamera S, I have a personal fixation on them. The more I learn about Cayennes, Macans, and Panameras, the more I want to own one of each. Having driven a 911SC, 997.2, 991.1 Turbo S, Macan, and Panamera S, I can only imagine the mind-blowing future experience of driving a Taycan.

Favorite things

Beyond variety and sounds, my most favorite thing about Porsche is its history as standard bearer in every category it enters. These heartfelt feelings make me smile every time I see or hear one.

Maverick of the Month

sponsored by Autobahn Porsche

Sam Bryant

Sam has been a PCA Member for close to 6 years. You might be familiar with Sam and his work as he served as the Tours Co-Chair for the past few years. Thanks to Sam, he helped create some of our most popular driving tours.. Whether it was the Revolver Brewing in Granbury, The Bluebonnets in Ennis or the Hula Hut Tour around the lakes Ray Roberts and Lewisville, Sam made sure we had fun, safe traveling routes with fantastic destinations. Sam is now handing this chair over to Michael Hayes, but we know he’s leaving it in good hands and will continue to support the tours anyway he can.

our annual All Member social, to get to what proved to be worth the drive for an amazing All Member Morning. This year we are bringing back Alle Mitglieder with two events for over 3,500 members at the same beautiful venue, tour, and party, and adding back a Maverick favorite, Pecan Lodge, for a lunch that won’t soon be forgotten.

The morning kicks off with the first driving tour of the year, enjoying 45 miles of pure country bliss. Enjoy the cattle ranches and horse farms among the roar of more than 100 engines while traveling through the towns of Van Alstyne, Weston, Celina, Pilot Point, Tioga, and finally arriving to our destination: Gunter, TX. The tour begins at 10:15 am, departing Van Alstyne on the beloved FM 455.

And what waits in Gunter? Well, the 2022 All Member Lunch begins at 11:30 am at One Preston Event Center Carriage House, Chapel, and Victorian Estate. If you haven’t joined us before, the property will leave you speechless. It’s a gorgeous space with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and barn doors overlooking acres of lush landscaping, with great patios and the largest number of Porsches you are sure to see in one place!

Our Porsche flags will line the drive and our Maverick volunteers will greet you to assist in parking. Check in at the Victorian Estate and meet our Maverick Executive Council and Chair representatives, who will be on site to

Women Behind the Wheel: Harish Chinai

by Joann Talty and Friends photos provided by Harish Chinai

Sometimes I don’t know why I see what I see on social media, but one November day I came upon a video showing a pretty woman in a red dress surrounded by her friends. Her significant other, dressed sharply in a suit, urges her to pull the ribboned bow from a giant four-sided white box on the ground. Of course she has trouble and needs a little help, but as she releases the ribbon, the sides dramatically fall to the ground, red balloons rise, and a shiny red Porsche awaits. Yeah, I don’t even recall which Porsche sports car it was, but I showed this to my husband to put this fabulous idea into his head. Then again, I’m not the type of girl to not have a say in what my next Porsche will be. Seeing this video had me thinking about how I enjoy hearing stories about how our members acquire their vehicles. Some scour sites to find exactly what they are looking for at the price they are prepared to pay. Some build their own on the Porsche website and anxiously await delivery. Some do it the old-fashioned way shopping at local dealerships. A very few lucky ones are given a Porsche. This is one of those stories.

At the first post-pandemic Happy Hour of 2020 in the parking lot at Jose, I met new member Harish Chinai. You should have seen jaws drop when he spoke about his silver 2004 911 Carrera C4S (996) with black interior and manual transmission. Yes, I write about WOMEN behind the wheel, but you’ll soon see my reason for sharing HIS story here. In fact, most of the words you’ll read are directly from Harish since he tells his story best. February’s Woman Behind the Wheel chose to remain anonymous, but I hope you enjoy this heartwarming story as much as I did.

When I first met my neighbor in 2017, she was driving a Ford F-150 pick-up truck. In her 90s, she said it was important for her to have enough metal around her, be perched up high when on Dallas roads for good visibility, and to easily be able to get in and out. I’d see her every day. We’d exchange pleasantries or at times chat for awhile. Over the course of a year, we became friends. Then one day, I saw her in a silver 911. I was totally blown away. When I asked her if this was a new acquisition, she said to me with an attitude of indifference that the car was an old “garage queen.” She then admitted the Porsche was both her biggest joy and disappointment. “Joy I can understand, but why disappointment?” I asked. To that, she responded with tears in her eyes, “this car is the last piece of my husband that I just simply cannot let go. Everything else I’ve been able to give away,” she said, “but the Porsche was my husband’s love and joy.”

She told me more. She shared how the car brought back fond memories of the numerous road trips they took. “We saw the bluebonnets one spring, Texas Hill Country, San Antonio, Santa Fe, Big Bend, and the famous Rio Grande Valley. Through the Porsche, my husband’s legacy is still very much alive,” she said as she wiped tears of sadness and joy in reminiscing about a distant past. The Porsche was not just a car. For her, it was a living, breathing part of her husband that brought great comfort every time

she opened the garage. She further went on to tell me how difficult it was for her to get into the vehicle. Once inside the car, she needed help to get out. As a result, the Porsche sat in the garage for the last 10 years, and once each month she’d start her up.

Harish Chinai and his beautiful 996

I told her I fully understood how difficult it must be for her to part with the car, but she was doing her husband’s legacy injustice by not regularly driving the car. I further explained, “It’s important that you drive the car in a way that the engine oil heats up.” She asked if I’d like to drive the Porsche. I replied, “Of course, I’d love to, but are you sure you want me to drive it? Because I will drive it the way it should be driven,” I warned. “Show me what

you’ve got,” she said as we got into the car at 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

We merged onto the Tollway for the most spirited drive of our lives. I’m pretty sure her heart was still pounding fast afterwards when I returned the keys to her. She confessed to me that she now knew what her husband meant when he said, “Drive it like you stole it.” When I said goodbye and thanked her for letting me drive the Porsche, I suggested to her that if ever in the future she wanted to sell the car, to please give me first right of refusal. This was in the fall of 2018.

A year went by with no mention of the Porsche. Not by her. And, certainly, not by me. Then one fine day, a year later, in August 2019, she pulled up in the Porsche and asked, “Remember, Harish – you asked for first right of refusal?” “Yes, I remember,” I said, hesitatingly. To that she said, “I’ve thought long and hard about it, and I wish for you to have the car. The registration and title are in the glove box and have been signed to you.” My head spinning, I asked her to please give me a day to research the value to determine if I could afford it.” “No such thing, Harish,” she replied. “The car is yours. I don’t want any money. You cannot put a value to my husband’s legacy. I know you will look after it the way my husband did and enjoy it every moment the way it is meant to be.” Speechless, I recalled tears of joy streaming from my eyes in a state of disbelief wondering, “Is this for real?”

It was real and Harish began to have some fun with his first Porsche. His cousin flew in from Scarsdale, New York, to see the car and suggested Harish join the local PCA to meet like-minded enthusiasts. He’s put 14,000 miles on it in two years and joined the Maverick PCA in September 2020. He’s been to several socials, Mavs & Mochas, tech sessions, and drove his first tour to Revolver Brewery in 2021. Our anonymous woman behind the wheel is still driving her F-150 and accepts an occasional ride in the 911 often urging Harish to top their fastest speed.

Maverick Region Charity Efforts for 2021

by Jimmy Gallegos, Region PCA Charity Chair

Thank you Mavericks for your generosity in 2021. The following is what we did as club to give back to the community. Thank you in advance for your giving in 2022 and if you want to volunteer for any of our Charity efforts please contact me directly. Mavs paying it forward!

Huffaker-Hughes Hope House: For over 25 years, Maverick Region has supported the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House, a home for victims of domestic abuse, named for facility owner Lisa Huffaker, and Lanean Hughes, an active Maverick and staunch supporter of the Hope House until her death in 2006. This is the longeststanding community service supported by the Region, which includes building a new home for them several years ago. The Hope House received $18,000 in cash and gift cards from Maverick Region this past year, which helps with yearly expenses for the home and community outreach programs.

National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF): This is the second year that Maverick Region has participated in National Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. Once again, Maverick Charity Chair Jimmy Gallegos and others met with Mavericks Kevin Hail, NBCF President and COO, and Janelle Hail, NBCF Founder, to organize the October National Breast Cancer Awareness Month event. We raised and donated a total of $5,861.00. Mavericks helped to assemble HOPE Kits, which contain thoughtful items that provide encouragement and comfort to breast cancer patients currently fighting the horrible disease.

Patriot Paws, in Rockwall, TX, whose mission is “to train and provide service dogs of the highest quality, at no cost, to disabled American veterans and others with mobile disabilities, in order to help restore the veterans’ physical and emotional independence.” Maverick Region sponsors a service dog, a blonde Labrador Retriever which we named “Porsche,” who will be in training for a few more years. This year Mavericks donated over $2,400 to Patriot Paws this year, which was raised through Drivers’ Education parade laps, driving tours, and member cash donations.

Poston Gardens Foundation: The Poston Gardens Foundation supports Daymark Living, a residential community in Waxahachie, TX dedicated to helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. At a new 10-day festival in March, known as Tulipalooza, which features 250,000 tulips in bloom, they raised funds for 12 leading North Texas charities. Maverick Region along with individual members donated a total of $4,500.

The Hendrick Scholarship Foundation (HSF) was established 30 years ago by a small group of Plano, TX

community leaders to honor the legacy of Dr. Wayne Hendrick, Plano Independent School District (PISD) Superintendent from 1961 to 1991.

HSF provides PISD graduates who have overcome significant adversity, through no fault of their own, with scholarship funds AND support services to succeed in college and life. Those services include a personal coach throughout their entire journey, continuous education/training in a broad range of life/school/career skills, community referrals, and career guidance. Hendrick scholars’ four-year graduation rate is more than four times the average for a similar demographic in Texas: 50% versus 12%. Maverick Region donated $1,500 to the HSF in 2021.

North Texas Food Bank (NTFB): Maverick Region runs a quarterly canned food drive in February, May, August, and November, with food and cash donations going to the NTFB. This year Mavericks donated over $5,000 and 2,509 pounds of food to the NTFB.

Plano Christmas Cops Toy Drive, in Plano, TX, assists Plano families in need during the Christmas season. For a fifth year, we had terrific weather and a great turnout for this event, with 80 cars for the caravan. Maverick Region and its members donated toys and $860 in gift cards and cash.

Guns and Hoses Foundation of North Texas, in Garland, TX, is 501(c)3 Organization founded in 2002, dedicated to providing immediate assistance to the families of fallen Police and Fire Fighters lost in the line of duty in North Texas. Maverick Region’s autocross provider, Equipe Rapide, hosts a charity autocross every year to benefit Guns and Hoses; this year, as in past years, Maverick Region donated $1,000 to the cause.

In addition to the above, Maverick Region donated to the following charities in 2021: American Heart Association: Maverick Region donated $350 in ticket proceeds in August.

Live Like Radyn Foundation: Maverick Region donated $500 to this foundation, started by Rudy Mancinas (aka Rudy Manseenus), an active and very generous PCA member, who passed away in 2021.

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society North Texas: The Region donated $500 to the LLS “Light the Night” event in October.

Stonebriar Community Church: The Region donated $500 to this Frisco, TX church’s Back to School supply drive.

In summary, Maverick Region made over $30,000 in charitable donations in 2021. We hope you agree that, in supporting these multiple charities and community services, Maverick Region has earned a spot in the Public Service Award list for 2021.

Did You Know: Harley-Davidson Connection

by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor

You might be aware that throughout the years Porsche has collaborated with several other vehicle manufacturers to lend their expertise with suspension and engine tuning. Two of the most well-known vehicles that Porsche had a hand in creating were the Audi RS2 and the Mercedes 500E. You might even find these lurking in the most passionate collectors garages. It does get stranger though, in the lean years, Porsche collaborated with Lada and Seat. If you’re shifting uncomfortably in your chair, it’s okay. We know they’ve come a long way since then. Perhaps one of the most unusual collaborations though, was that of Porsche and Harley-Davidson. And it happened more than once.

The relationship goes back to the 70’s and ironically, it was Porsche that brought the well known brand into the water-cooled future. After all, they had a little experience of their own with making the leap. In 2002 Harley-Davidson, looking to freshen things up a bit, turned to Porsche to help develop an all new water-cooled 1,131cc V-twin double overhead cam engine. The first of its kind for the company. It made 115 horsepower and 74lb-ft of torque. Quite a bit for the time. The design of the bike was quite a bit different than your typical Harley too. In fact, what appears to be the bikes’ gas tank is actually a cover for the airbox. You had to lift the seat to fill the tank. Weird.

The V-Rod, as it was named, was sold for 15 years alongside the brands’ more conventional models. Considered by many as Harley’s “muscle bike”, the V-twin racing Street Custom went though several iterations, but in 2017 the company sold its last. Strange but true, and better than a Lada. So now you have a little bit of trivia to impress your friends the next time the conversation lulls. You can thank me later. Right: Harley V-Rod on the wall at Texas Harley-Davidson in Bedford.

Mavs & Mochas: January at Texas Harley, in the Rain

by Mike McHorse, Coffee Meets Co-Chair photos by Michael Durovick

The first Mavs & Mochas of 2022 took us to Texas Harley-Davidson in Bedford, Texas. With temperatures in the mid-40s and a steady mist of rain, it was anyone’s guess as to how many Mavs would venture out. But, as always, Mavs never disappoint and turned out in force, with an estimated 55 Porsches making the event.

The featured car for this weekend was the 964. Three amazing examples were present and accounted for. Thank you Chris Kidd, Arjay, and Doc AJ for bringing your rides out.

While we all love our P-cars, there was a great variety of bad-to-the-bone Harley-Davidson motorcycles and cool merchandise to ponder over. A special callout goes to the team at Texas Harley-Davidson in Bedford, the largest H-D dealership in Texas, for their hospitality and free coffee.

Thanks to the M&M crew who supported this event, including John Cuyler, Matt Wilson, and Mike McHorse, and to Michael Durovick for the awesome photos.

Left to Right: Some beautiful 964’s owned by Chris Kidd, Arjay Cando and Ajai Cadambi. So pretty it hurts, and they don’t melt.

Meet The Driver: Bill Smith

by “Motorsport Mike” O’Hare

In closing out Maverick Region’s first year of “Meet the Driver,” we had the pleasure of featuring Pro-Am racer Bill Smith (Porsche Carrera Cup North America). The club was privileged enough to have “The Phoenix Insurance” host the event at their Garages of Texas location in Carrollton.

Bill prepared an extremely informative PowerPoint presentation on his racing career. He started off by sharing his childhood passion for all things “cars” and his admitted “addiction” to racing. Outside of his successes on the track, Bill has had a highly

photos provided by Justin Husman

accomplished career that included serving as the President of Technology Operations for AT&T, as well as residing on the board of directors for several major corporations.

Those who attended got to enjoy in-car footage from various tracks and an informative telemetry analysis of Bill’s racing performance. The group served up several inquisitive questions regarding favorite track (Road America), car setup, physical conditioning demands, and sponsorship and financing requirements. It was a great session whereby everyone drove away with a better understanding of what it takes to race at this level!

I truly enjoyed my first year serving as the Maverick Region’s Motorsport Journalist. I’d like to offer up my gratitude to a few individuals who have helped me evolve in the position. This has been a total team effort, and would not have been possible without several club members. First, to club President Bill Kruder and the Maverick Board for creating the role; second, to Kurt Scaggs and Carey Spreen for their skilled due diligence in editing my articles; then to Jim Hirsch for his consultation and input; and finally to Justin Husman for The Phoenix Insurance’s sponsorship of our “Meet the Driver” events.

Of course, a special thanks to drivers Don Yount (see October Slipstream Online) and Bill Smith for their willingness to partake in our “Meet the Driver” sessions. By the time you read this, we will have completed our inaugural 2022 event featuring four of our Club Racers (David Hodges, Daniel Shofner, Seth Higgins, and Bill Miller) at Eagles Canyon Raceway. Look for an event recap in a future edition of Slipstream. Please feel free to drop me a note if there is anything special you’d like me to cover –I’m always open for ways to improve the content!

Maverick Marktpreis: 964 Carrera

A new flat-six engine. Coil spring suspension. Power steering. A/C. Automatic electric rear spoiler. This standard equipment list reads like it belongs to a late model Porsche, right? Well, actually, it’s from a 33-yearold 911, generation 964. When the 964 was introduced in 1989, it marked the end of production on the original 911 platform. With airbags and anti-lock brakes, the 911 had finally entered the modern age.

According to Porsche, the 964 contained 85% new parts compared to its predecessor, the Carrera 3.2. Torsion bar suspension was replaced with high-performance coil

springs and shock absorbers. There were many firsts offered in a 964 including all-wheel drive and automatic transmission. With its improved aerodynamics and the new 247 bhp 3.6-liter flat-six engine, the 964 can spring 0-60 in a very respectable 5.2 seconds. It was available in the Coupé, Targa, and Cabriolet body designs.

With less than 37,000 produced, there are fewer 964 911s than the 2nd gen G-body series before it and the 993 gen after it. Limited editions such as the ’92-’93 America Roadster, ’93-’94 Speedster, and the ’93 RS America are highly valued collectibles.

Coffee, Cars & Conversation

by Bill Kruder, Region President

As with so many of these conversations, they occur long before they ever get written. What I mean is the “conversation” gets started before either one of us really knows one another. Take this one for example. I knew all about this guy’s garages, I knew all about the cars he owns, and heck, I drove by Six & Mango on Main Street in Frisco many times, so I knew his business too. Matter of fact, we were “friends” on Facebook long before we met. But thanks to our cars and some coffee we finally did meet, and we were able to put a face to everything else we already knew. I have met a lot of people in the club, and each and every story gets better and better. Trust me: once you read this, even if you think you know him, you will shake your head and say, “Really? Are you talking about the same guy I know?”

So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you . . .

Jim Mango, Member since 2012 2015 991.1 Turbo S, 1990 964, 1972 911S, 1967 912, and 1959 Vineyard 108S Tractor

Bill Kruder: So you know the drill I’m sure. We start with where you are from.

Jim Mango: I grew up in a small town in northeast Iowa called Waverly, which had about 6,000 people

there back in my day. It’s about 30 minutes north of Waterloo. It’s the only place I lived until I moved from home at the age of 21. Thinking back, it was modest. We had about 1000 square feet, three bedrooms, one bath, and FIVE of us. Heck, my high school graduating class had

provided by Jim Mango

attending class was cramping my style; the beer drinking, pool playing, and girls were more appealing to me (smiling). Well, dad, after three semesters, saw my 1.79 GPA and said “I think you are finished,” and the educational fund had ceased.

BK: So what was next?

less than 200, where I happily was in the upper 1% of the lower 50% (laughing). Even in college I didn’t roam far, attending the University of Northern Iowa, which is only 14-15 miles due south of home. My father was a pilot who flew single- and twin-engine planes for a small manufacturing company. My mother was a homemaker and office worker.

BK: So what did you study in school?

JM: Well, study would have been a good idea. I was a Business Marketing Major.

BK: Sounds like there might be a story?

JM: Oh there is a story all right (big smile). There were three of us; my brother and sister were doing great in school, but I was the one having the time of his life. After joining a fraternity, I found that actually

JM: This was during the Vietnam war, so if you were in school you had a good chance of avoiding the draft. Having effectively dropped out of school, I now became 1A, available to serve. So, this is April 1968; I not only get drafted but I get assigned to the Marines, and 11 months later I was toting an M-16. I end up near the DMZ. Let’s just say it is scary stuff when you are 19, or at any age for that matter. Looking back, it was this time that forged me into adulthood. It was not optional. I would do it all over again, though I would wish it on no one.

BK: What happened next?

JM: While in Vietnam I determined I wanted to go back to college when, and if, I returned. While applying,

the college demanded I pay the parking fines of $245 (in today’s dollars, nearly $2,000) that I had accumulated while attending the first time. So pay I did. It cost me one whole month’s pay as an E-4 (Corporal).

BK: So after college, then what?

JM: I graduated in 1972 and ended up moving to Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a marketing trainee with Koehring Company, which manufactured and sold heavyduty construction equipment. After six months they moved me to Syracuse, New York for more “in-field” sales training.

BK: So how did you end up in Dallas from New York?

JM: Koehring moved us down here in 1974 as Sales Manager of the Southwestern Region of the country. It was during this time (1974-1978) of building a network of dealerships that I would become the number one revenue producer in the country.

BK: You moved away though right?

JM: We did. It was now a dream of mine to own an equipment dealership. As things turned out, part of my territory was Shreveport, and there was this Koehring dealer there that wasn’t doing well. So here I am, this 28-year-old kid who finds himself in Shreveport, and now buys a dealership (big smile). Beth and I packed up from Dallas and MANGO equipment was born.

BK: And how did that work out?

JM: From 1979-1999 we ran THREE stores: one in Dallas (Irving) and the other two in Shreveport. We spent the next 20 years building that business becoming the largest independent distributor in large part to SKYTRAK, a roughterrain forklift. We grew this business to an 80% market share in DFW. We sold the business in 1999 to United Rentals, the world’s largest equipment rental company.

BK: But you were not finished yet?

JM: No, and I’m not sure I will ever be “finished.” I later became investor/owner of a local Dallas community bank. In addition I entered a partnership to sell Kubota equipment; the Frisco store still bears my name, “Six & Mango.”

BK: Today, yet again, you started up another business. Matter of fact, after visiting with you as we walked out, I recall turning and asking you why? Why do you keep working?

JM: I know, right! I remember you asking me. The answer I guess lies in the “chase.” I like nothing more than a challenge. I like the motivation of building not just a business but the team that runs it. This latest venture, Wheel Restoration, presented itself to me as a niche that wasn’t being served or served well. So we acquired the rights to the U.S. distribution of a Denmark firm, which I believe has the state-of-the-art wheel repair system.

BK: So during all this how did you meet Beth?

JM: Simply put, Beth was my college sweetheart. When I

returned from the Marines, my best friend (who still is my best friend) was dating her roommate, and they kind of set us up. This was 1970; we dated for three-plus years, and we married in 1973 in Syracuse. After 18 years of marriage, we had our son Jamie, car guy, future Porsche owner, and Maverick member.

BK: So, let’s talk cars. What was your first car?

JM: That was a 1956 Ford Fairlane, purchased when I was 16. Back then this was some car; it had the afterburner taillights, the chrome dip in the doors, and 3-speed transmission. I think we paid $250, which my parents shared in the initial cost.

BK: No surprise. I think I heard you were a Ford guy?

JM: I guess that’s true - my dad was a Ford guy. But more specifically I was (and am) a Mustang and Shelby guy. Matter of fact, I was fortunate enough to call Carroll Shelby a friend. My first Mustang was a 1967 that I bought in 1970. I currently own five Mustangs and Shelbys. I actually have a 2022 GT500 on order.

BK: What was your first introduction to Porsche?

JM: Like so many, it starts out as a kid, and I guess never leaves you. My dad had a friend who had a 1963 356. It was the very first time I had ever laid eyes on one.

BK: First Porsche?

JM: Easy - that was my 2012 Turbo Cab in Rhodium Silver over dark blue leather. I took it for a test drive and I was instantly addicted to the car, the brand, and the owners.

BK: So I understand, not only do you approach your business life with great zeal, but also the fun stuff too. What’s something you have done that most might not know?

JM: A lot of people don’t realize I’m a runner. I started running in 1978 just for the fun of it. Well next thing you know I’m running in the Turkey Trot. Then in 1979 I ran my first marathon (3:27) and have since run three in Dallas and New York.

BK: Now what about the bike riding you have done?

JM: Oh yes! I have done the Hotter than Hell ride in Wichita Falls; it’s a 100-mile ordeal. Probably my craziest ride is the RAGBRAI (Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa). I have done that four times. It’s nearly 500 miles across the state beginning along the Missouri River and ending along the Mississippi River.

This Maverick runs, rides, and drives friendships!

Oversteer: 60 years

by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor

You might have noticed that this year is the Maverick Regions’ 60th year. It’s on the cover in case you missed it. I don’t know from experience just yet, but I’m told 60 years is a long time. If you do anything for very long, you’re bound to make some memories. Over the last 60 years, Maverick Members have done just that. This year we will bring you some of those stories. We have some amazing characters in the club. Bill’s Coffee, Cars and Conversation has touched on some of these, but I will endeavor to bring you the insider stories right from the source. Until then, enjoy some club history:

PCA-Maverick Region was “born” in November 1962 at the Fiesta Best Western Motel in Arlington. The official charter from the national offices of PCA was issued on December 24, 1962. There were 15 charter members of the Maverick Region. Jim & Marge Ables, Jeff & Alverne Horsfall, Manson & Suellen Mathis, Bob Barnet, Doyle Bush, Buzz Rowell, Bob Middleton, Don Muncy, Stan & Jan Simm, John & Sue Starnes. Originally started to provide social, driving, and technical events that enhance the Porsche ownership experience, we’re still going strong.

Today our membership numbers are a little larger but it was made possible by these 15, and the countless volunteers that have come since. Did you realize that every board position and the vast majority of our events are held by volunteers? It’s true. We do pay the corner workers at the racetrack though, they are kind of important.

In 1965, Bill Holderness named the newsletter, “Slipstream”, an aviation term...many of our early members were airline pilots. In automotive parlance the term would be “draft”. The newsletter started out as a one page affair. It gradually grew and here we are. You’re all caught up.I’m kidding of course. Over the next issues of 2022, let’s see where we go. If you have a story you’d like to share, let me know. Otherwise I’ll be out looking for you.
