Prez Says by James Shoffit, Maverick Region President

s a young boy growing up, I was involved in the Boy Scouts of America, and one of my favorite things was the Pinewood Derby. This is the event where the kids and their dads get together and carve a car out of a block of wood and attach some small wheels and paint. The object is for your gravity-powered car to win each race by being smooth and fast. Just like autocross. (It’s all starting to make sense now!) The Longhorn Council Boy Scout troop is having a Pinewood Derby at the Dillards at NorthEast Mall in Hurst on April 20th. They have invited us to join with them for a “shine contest” concours event and we can even race our own cars if we want to! Our new Concours Chair, Jimmy Carter is spearheading the effort (see ad on page 7), and we are looking for ALL kinds of Porsches to show these kids. Dillards has reserved an area on the top of one of their parking garages for us to park our cars and let the kids drool. This will be a great opportunity to reach another generation of Porsche owners!

praise, as do all the other instructors and volunteers. It always warms my heart to see so many people come out and dedicate a weekend to helping the newer autocrossers learn to drive better. All for a couple of lunches, a shirt, and a bit of sunburn! April is the start of our Autocross and Time Trial season with our first AX/TT weekend in Mineral Wells! (Yes, this is my favorite time of the year). We also have two tours coming up in April, two lunches, a Happy Hour, and a Tech Session (993 suspension upgrade) at Park Place. There is a Drivers Ed event down at TWS, a Club Race at No Problem Raceway in Louisiana, and a tour of the fabulous Clark Gardens in Mineral Wells. As usual, something for nearly everyone! If you can’t figure out what you might be interested in, or don’t know what some of our events are about, come to a Happy Hour – Dennis Chamberlain will be more than happy to introduce you to some members who can show you the ropes. So come on out, and join the fun!

Our two-day Mineral Wells Autocross and Time Trial school was, as usual, an outstanding success! The students, instructors, and even the workers all had a great time and learned a lot. Baris hosted the Saturday night meal which was quite a pleasure as well. Kevin Hardison and Cody Sears deserve mountains of

Because I Said So by Wendy Shoffit, Editor

here are a couple of things on my mind this month, but I’m sure you already knew that! I guess that’s why the title of my column is “Because I Said So.” It is one of the few times I can talk without being interrupted. *grin* I wanted to start by thanking the fabulous dealerships we have in this area, (in alphabetical order) Autobahn, Park Place, and The Porsche Store. They have stepped forward in a major way to sponsor our largest events. We couldn’t give nearly as much value to our participants if it weren’t for you. Here is what’s coming up: May 18-19 May 25-27

HCR DE at MSR Sponsored by Park Place MR Club Race at TMS Sponsored by The Porsche Store June 22-23 MR DE at MSR Sponsored by Park Place Sept. 21-22 MR DE at MSR Sponsored by The Porsche Store As always, we appreciate ALL of our sponsors! The next thing on my mind involves you women out there. I am really enjoying the increasing level of participation by you gals lately! For last year’s ladies AX school we had to nearly beg women to come out... this year, we were jam-packed with enthusiastic drivers! I asked you all for an article and I got three volunteers. It thrills me when I have a man come up to me and

tell me that his wife is the first one to pick up Slipstream and read it cover to cover. I’ve also seen more and more independent women come out with their own Porsche to participate in our events. Not only do you ladies come out to play, but also you are the first ones to step forward and help out (and do a darn good job). I mean absolutely (seriously) no slight to our testosterone-laced counterparts, but women kick butt! Go estrogen... and thanks! Which brings me to the next thing ... volunteers. No, I’m not going to beat you over the head again this month. I’m just going to make a simple request. We need people to help out with the Club Race on Memorial weekend (May 25-27). We want people in all areas - corner workers, grid and parking, hospitality, timing and scoring, registration, and “runners.” Nancy Dugan (one of the fabulous women I was just mentioning) has agreed to be the volunteer worker coordinator this year. Signing up to help out has never been easier. All you have to do is visit our website (www.pca.org/mav) and follow the link to the Club Race. There’s an online volunteer form to fill out. It’s a piece of cake and the information goes straight into a database. Try it out! The last thing I have (for now) on my mind also involves the Club Race and ties in volunteerism and sponsorship. If you want to help out, but maybe don’t have the weekend free, you can help be a sponsor of this great event! For $25 or more, your name will be in the program and for $100 or more, you will also be on the official race shirt. See p. 3 for more info. Of course, once I ask you women out there for help, I’m done! Fuhgettaboutit... *smile*

Maverick Minutes by Pro-Tem Lanean Hughes

n March 6, 2002 the Maverick Board meeting was held at the home of Prez James Shoffit. Meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. Report for Happy Hour Chair, Dennis Chamberlain, was given by James who reported there were 32 people in attendance last time and we signed up 6 new members. Mark Gluck, HH co-chair, provided business card reminders to all those present to share with others stating time and date of next HH. April’s will be at SpeedZone. Next up was Bill Dugan regarding the driving event rules. No major changes were made with the exception that the 50 series tire rule has been deleted. Bill also reported that the Naval Air Station is still alive and well, but making major repairs to the area, and then perhaps a positive AX site in the future. Eric Erz stated that he is working with Jimmy Carter (our new Concours chair) and that we have been invited to participate with the Boy Scouts at an upcoming Pinewood Derby on 4/20, taking place at Northeast Mall. See page 7 for more information. Jan Mayo, Zone Rep reported that a discussion is taking place nationally regarding opening the membership to a person who is not a Porsche owner. She would appreciate your opinion. Bob Knight, treasurer, reported that “We have money.” 8

Cody Sears, AX chair, reported that we have approximately 25 students signed up for the MW school. He explained the format and asked for volunteers. Wendy Shoffit reported on the success of the AX 101 and Ladies AX, we lost $0.73/but everyone had a GREAT time. Discussion took place on raising the advertising rates of Slipstream. James requested a proposal be prepared on the rates and we will decide at a later date this year. Joe McGlohen asked for a volunteer to store the coolers, and other items for our events. We hope to find a place to store all the cones, coolers, radios, and someone to inventory and be responsible for these items. Kevin Hardison arrived late to finish off the pizza and pass out information on the upcoming AX school. Wendy’s fresh baked chocolate chip cookies finished off the meeting at 8:47 p.m. Those in attendance: Jan Mayo, Joe McGlohen, James & Wendy Shoffit, Bill Dugan, Cody Sears, Albert Sansores, Kevin Hardison, Bob Knight, Eric Erz, and yours truly!

Maverick Region PCA Board Meetings are held once a month. The meetings are open to all PCA members and your suggestions and opinions are welcome. And there’s free food!

Intro to Autocross 101 by Michael Ufer

Photo by Kevin Hardison

his was our first event with the Porsche Club and our second Driving event in our 1971 911T. It seems like only yesterday, all be it over five years ago, that our first Porsche was towed to our house. Then began the slow process of getting it running and chasing all of the gremlins out, from a car that sat for over four years in the weather deteriorating. We were encouraged to join PCA Potomac Region, at the time we lived in Virginia. We joined and made great friends while learning to restore our early 911. We could not have restored the “Beast” (lovingly named by our three children) with out their tireless support and willingness to share their guidance and knowledge of Porsche. Our thanks to all who participated in breathing life back into the “Beast”.

Autocross. I wish to take this opportunity to say that the Maverick Region instructors are ready for you no matter what your skill level. I am encouraging you to learn first hand what your Porsche was built to do, in an environment that will support you every step of the way. The AX101 event was my first opportunity to watch the orchestration required which make these events both safe and fun while learning how to handle your Porsche.

When we were transferred to Dallas last June we thought we had left this incredible network of Porsche support in Virginia. We were wrong. As I prepared the Beast for the AX101 the shifting rod broke at the front cup. I know, it what?… I never heard of that breaking, well somehow it did. I e-mailed Cody Sears, having submitted my

application for the AX101. He made a few suggestions about who may be able to help. I dropped the engine and transaxel and was up and running Friday night for the Saturday event. The incredible people behind the Porsche marque continue to support our restoration efforts of the now beautiful Beast.

Many thanks to all the efforts of the Maverick Region officers and volunteers who made this the best experience with my Porsche I have had! I hope to see you at an event soon!

Ladies Autocross School By Ellie Luce

t's a cold, early morning and nothing would make me get up before dawn except a commitment to friends that I would do something called Autocross. It's somewhere out in Euless or Hurst, places my car has never been, but still a promise is a promise..

stops shorter than ever expected, so MAYBE I should stick around. Anyway, my friends are still here so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better hang in. Mitch does the course twice and now it's my turn: 58 seconds and no cones..this is pretty cool. Then another run..56 seconds and no cones, and another of 55 and another of 54. Then Mitch abandons me to run the course by myself (less wait, faster time, maybe). I'm all for speed and independence and sure enough it's the best yet. I'm pumped and ready to volunteer at the second station while Mitch runs the car thru its paces, and he actually breaks 50 seconds.

I arrive, there are a few people about and one Porsche, and I am instructed to park my Mercedes in slot 4. I go and register, and learn I am to take EVERYTHING out of my trunk. OOPS, this means this could get a little rough! Then some friends arrive, with donuts. It's still cold but things are looking up until I realize that I am the ONLY non-Porsche in the place. Will this be good or bad, I have no idea.

Good Car, Good Day, Great fun and I'm ready to do it again...tomorrow would be a good day to have the adrenaline pumping and the challenge of bettering each run. I could even get up at 3 am if needed.

So it's time to practice. This is fun. Mitch does a few runs, shows me how, and then says "just do it." Too funny, the car is so well trained is wants to slow to a stop and not wait to the last possible second. It objects to squealing around the corners and keeps trying to become classy and sedate. But I persevere and finally Mitch says I might be OK to do a good job when we do the course for real after lunch. But wait, I already made a complete fool of myself by taking out 4 cones in one run, why would I want to do that again? Oh, I realize that this is really interesting, that the car goes faster than I imagined, and

Autocross Therapy By Suzanne Cochran

I arrived at the Ladies AX school thinking it couldn’t be any more fun than AX 101 the day before. Boy, was I wrong! I had the advantage of not being a total novice having been at the school the year before and having driven in events a few times. But since I mostly drive a Ford truck, every time I’m in the Boxster, it’s a new driving day. My 101 instructor, Lanean, lobbied for me to have one of the instructors most in demand: Ed Mayo. I have to admit that I was a bit intimidated. After all, everybody knows Ed is one of the THE best drivers in the country (maybe second only to Jan, his wife.) My impression was also that he was a no nonsense kind of guy. How much tolerance could he have for a timid driver that just shows up every now and then in a helmet. My concerns faded away quickly.

can sum up the Ladies AX school in just a few words. RIP ROARING GOOD TIME! But here are a few more just in case you don’t yet have the picture.

Suzane Cochran in a rare (?) moment of control. I wasn’t about to say “I can’t” but I was thinking it would be a cold day in hell when the car went that fast through a slalom with me at the wheel. Ed coached me to a performance I would never thought I could achieve but, to get there -- Well, all I can say is Ed is a saint when it comes to patience. He remained calm and mercifully kind when I hit the same cone again - and again - and again. (I expect

. . . so out of control that I wound up in the other slalom course . . . the workers who were having to run for the cones may have had a few not-kind-comments, though.) We laughed when I went so out of control that I wound up in the other slalom course. Backwards at that. But, hey, I didn’t hit any cones.

Here’s how we started. The usual procedure was for the instructor to drive first – to give the student a taste of what it’s supposed to look and feel like. But since I had driven in autocross before, Ed suggested that I drive first so he could see what we need to work on. My experience from the day before made that easy: my priority was the slalom.

So. As I sat in line, I tried to recall what I’d been told before. (and, judging from my dismal performance on the Saturday slalom, I obviously didn’t stay told). I played over and over in my head “Keep it smooth; don’t try to go too fast.” So I drove as smoothly as I could which was pret-ty darn sloooow. Ed just said “OK.” Pause. “Let me show you how I do it.” We changed seats. He drove the same course. Holy Cow!! I didn’t know my car would even do that!

Dede Todd sends the cone flying. There were a lot more “Oops!” moments throughout the day, but Ed and the other volunteers whooped and cheered me on with every little improvement. If you work in a confrontational environment like I do, where opponents lay in wait for you to make a mistake so they can cram it down your throat, AX is the place to go for a vacation. The cadre of hard working volunteer instructors and workers not only tolerate mistakes, they encourage them. Its how you learn to go faster. And they celebrate every small victory with you as if you climbed the Matterhorn. It’s exhilarating. Even if you feel you’re not quite ready to drive, then come out any way and work with these great people. I promise you won’t even think about the office and you’ll freak out your co-workers the next day because you’re in such a good mood. 11

Happy Hour At Champp’s By Dennis Chamberlain

he hot topics at the February 21 Champp’s Happy Hour were the recent autocross school, the coming weekend’s DE at Motorsport Ranch, and the Spring Hill Country tour – not to mention the women’s ice skating finals at the Olympics, which were in progress as we were finishing our dinner.

out to promote the next happy hour event. The cards invite the recipient to come to the event, and include the club's web address. They're perfect to carry in your car/wallet/purse to give to a friend or even tuck under the wiper of a lonely Porsche.

My good friend Jay Easley was not able to attend, presumably because of the large “no shirt, no shoes, no service” signs on the front door, but we had thirty-two other members, including six new members. I enjoyed visiting with Rollie and Stacy Waters, who told me about totaling their 2002 Boxster S in Oklahoma in ice and snow after just 1,400 miles. They turned around and bought a new one, which was exactly the same except for being Seal Gray rather than Arctic Silver. Other new members included Sandy Long, who had just purchased a 1984 911, and Richard Bennett (a 1985 911). Mark Williams (944) was attending his first function. Also attending was Ben Hartsell, who has recently moved to our region, with his gorgeous 1997 993 C2S.

As the evening wound down, Mark decided he would give Karaoke a try, and the few remaining Maverick members anxiously awaited his singing debut. Just before his name was called, Michelle Kwan skated out (on Champp’s big screen) to compete for the gold medal. It was a tough choice, but we opted to leave Mark and watch Michelle. Mark breathed a sigh of relief, took his name off the list, and came to join us. The analogy was interesting – Mark backing out from the pressure of having 100 people hear him sing, and Michelle slipping on the ice from the pressure of having half of the entire world watching. Everything, I suppose, is relative.

DE Questions Answered from Motorsport Ranch By Bryan Henderson

had several questions this weekend concerning the correct driver response to situations and flags during track events. With the number of questions it appears we have a great opportunity for better understanding.

2. If I spin and stop what do I expect from the corner workers and what do they expect from me? If I am off track and in a position where I can, I will look for a point from the corner worker to HELP get me safely on track.

Yes, you can. At our DEs the white flag indicates a slow moving vehicle on the track. This is probably going to be another car at DE but might be an ambulance, wrecker or fire truck at a race. In most cases it is actually much safer for you to pass the car causing the white flag. There are only two flags under which you can not pass, yellow and black. At a DE I would be disappointed if

1. Can I pass under a white flag and can I pass the car causing the white flag?

It is still my responsibility to re-enter safely. At some tracks in some situations getting a point might not be feasible. If I am ON TRACK it is my responsibility to get the car moving and in a safe position in a safe manner as quickly as reasonably possible. If you are on track the corner worker will not generally give you a point. They will expect you to start moving. Cody Sears using the curb to help rotate his car through Rattlesnake.

You must use care and common sense when passing this slow moving vehicle and do so in a safe manner. If we don't pass the slow car we may end up with cars bunched closely together and lots of hard braking behind the slow vehicle. If the white is shown with a yellow then regular passing must stop. If you are driving the slow moving vehicle you must also apply great caution and common sense. Please don't wander from side to side on the track. The best place to park a failing car that is not going to make it to the pits is at a corner station behind the bunker wall.

track, off line and facing the correct direction. They should have accelerated down track off line and continued as appropriate. Sitting on track created a dangerous situation where none should have existed. 3. What do I do if my car is not operable? Photo by Bill Dugan

Most of the time you should stay strapped in the car unless it is on fire until help arrives or the session is over. If you feel you must leave the car, do not cross a hot track. You can use hand signals with the corner workers for special request from a stalled

. . . arms raised over your head like a touchdown . . .

Which way did they go? Cars stopped on track will generally be covered by a waving yellow flag. If the car is fully functional, I should bring the car back to a reasonable speed off line then resume my lap and report ASAP to the black flag station in the hot pit. A parked car on the track is a bad thing and will generally bring a halt to the session at one of our DE's. If the car is stopped ON THE TRACK it is usually in a more dangerous situation than if it is moving even slowly down track. Photo by Wendy Shoffit

In this situation the corner workers will first protect themselves, then communicate with other cars through the flags, notify control and communicate with you. The communication with you can take several forms, but basically, if you are moving or signal you are ok, they are going to assume you are ok. If you move your car they are going to assume it is ok. If YOU don't move they will call for help. If your car does not move they will assume it can't and take appropriate action. On Sunday that action was to stop the session with a black all. Both cars were on

car. There is a "normal" set of arm and hand signals that you can use but they are actually designed for corner workers to communicate with each other. For example, arms outstretched to the

sides forming a T with your body says you need a flat tow. From the T position bend the elbows down forming a W with your arms and that says you need a wrecker. Slant your T by raising one arm and lowering the other says I need a roll back flat bed. The signal to request a point back on to the track if you get the car restarted is arms raised over your head like a touchdown with your palms facing forward. The problem with these signals is, you can't do most of them very well from inside a car. Let the corner workers and control do their job. Wait until the session is stopped then signal what you need.

The reason I use terms like generally, usually and most of the time is in any situation on a race track you must ALWAYS use good judgement and that prevents us from saying always.

Park Place Tech Session #2

he second Tech Session at Park Place Porsche was on the 996. The membership was questioned concerning what they would like to see performed and what they would like to learn. Two areas of interest were an exhaust upgrade and shift linkage enhancement. It is the opinion of the technicians that the shift linkage upgrade is very important in early 996’s. A significant number of Maverick Region members were in attendance. Also in attendance were some 993 and Boxster owners.

How can I get one of those signs myself? Photo by Robert Van Buskirk

The technicians worked in a very precise and steady manner. Some adjustments had to be made for a precision fit, which helped me understand the value of all of the resources they have available. They were willing to answer all manner of questions concerning what they were working on and many questions specific to member cars not involved in this tech.

. . . when I found out he is a State Judge. . .

The group getting an eyeful underneath the car. Park Place had on display the new 996 C4S, TARGA, and TURBO available for us to carefully inspect on the floor and up on lifts.

After several hours the new air intake and complete new exhaust system were installed including the catalytic converters. Interesting note was they would not allow the catalytic converters to come off of the car even though the job would have been easier had they been removed.

A 996 was selected for demonstration purposes that required both upgrades be done and also an after market air intake system using a K&N air filter.

The owner had selected custom headers and a very low restriction (loud) exhaust. We were shown all of the work in a step-by-step process. A comparison was made of the factory headers and aftermarket ones. It was very obvious how there would be a significant increase in performance.

Photo by Robert Van Buskirk

The process of removing the old exhaust system, to include headers, was very interesting. First, the technicians removed all the rear molding and bumper components. All of these pieces came off quickly and made working on the car much easier.

Photo by Robert Van Buskirk

The new Targa is quite a machine. When the 996 was started the noise level was intense. I was reminded of Mineral Wells events. I wondered out loud to the owner if he was concerned about too much noise. That’s when I found out he is a State Judge!

The new exhaust is a beauty.

Looking forward to Tech Session #3 which will focus on 993’s. It is scheduled, as of this writing, to be April 20. Park Place is intending to do a suspension upgrade and possibly a 30K service if time allows.

Tow Hitch Installation-Who needs a Cayenne to tow? By Noby Takahashi

Photo by Noby Takahashi

n a rainy Sunday afternoon in December, a few Mavericks gathered at the home of Rocky Johnson to install a trailer hitch on a Boxster. Our trailer hitch kit was purchased from Evolution Motorsports (http://www.EvoMS.com) in Tempe, AZ, 800-998-8510. Why were we doing this? So that we can tow our track tires and associated tools out to our driving events. This is an alternative to the Tow Vehicle/Car Trailer scenario.

Photo by Noby Takahashi

Taking apart Wayne’s car the tongue extension with a rubber mallet. Be sure that the center hole is perfectly aligned with the tow hook hole. That big bolt requires a 1-1/4” socket.

. . . we would have spent all night camping out in Rocky’s garage. . . The physical installation of the hitch is relatively simple. First, remove the rubber bumperette covers with a 6mm hex wrench. Taking off the license plate/bracket results in this:

Trust me, it is 1”. Blame the photographer!

The rubber bumperette covers will need to be notched out for the main bar using a sharp Exacto knife. And for the tow hitch ball, the hole is 1” (shank diameter). The following items from a local PepBoys or AutoZone is needed to complete the trailer light wiring job: European Tail Light Converter Hoppy P/N 48845

This is Wimbledon Green if you’re wondering... Notice how filthy it is. Might want to clean it up before proceeding. A 5/16” hole needs to be drilled through each Aluminum bumperette. EVO provides a template to mark the location. It is easier by starting out with a small pilot hole and I recommend fairly sharp drill bits for this task even though it is just Aluminum (FYI, don’t borrow them from Rocky). Now for getting the hitch on the car. As seen in the picture, the main bar needs to be on the backside of the bumperettes. In order to ‘shove’ the piece behind the left bumperette, we needed to wedge it with a large flathead screwdriver and tap ‘gently’ on 20

Attention Potato Heads!

For anyone that’s interested, feel free to check out the hitch (BTW, Hill Bullock has the SouthSport hitch on his Boxster S, Doug Molny has a custom hitch on his 911SC and Kay Leibel has a custom hitch on her 993 C4S. Just don’t ask Kay about her license plate!) or the various utility trailers at our AX/TT or DE events. It’s the swarm of track trailers!

The first get together at Parade is the Welcome Party, an informal happening where we get to visit Porsche friends, old and new. Let’s have the Maverick Region also make this a “Salute to Idaho” party by wearing Potato Hats. “What is a Potato Hat?” you ask?? Take a hat or cap of your choice, decorate it with a Potato theme - real or artificial potatoes, cooked or raw, with or without gravy. Be creative, have some fun and we’ll see you in Boise!

[No one was injured, no screams of expletives and tools did not go flying around the garage during this event. Even Santa Claus, showing up for the next-door neighbor’s Christmas party, was impressed with all the Porsches at Rocky’s house]

hile sitting on the back porch in comfort in Comfort, I tried to think of some way we could say a big “Thank you” to our Parade hosts in Boise. Then it came to me in a vision ... Potato Hats!
