SPROCKETS: Porsche in Pop Culture By David Robertson, Region President Porsche: there is no substitute. When I was a kid, this tagline resonated with me, because that is what Tom Cruise said in the movie Risky Business as he was, well, just being really cool driving around in a 928. I watched that movie over and over again, thinking the 928 was just about the greatest car I had ever seen.
Porsche certainly knew what they were doing with their product placement because from the day Risky Business came out in 1983, way before I could drive, I had to have a Porsche. Sixteen Candles was another great Porsche placement movie for youngsters trying to decide which car brands to obsess over for the rest of their lives. After watching this movie, I decided that I needed to have a 944 just like Jake. If you don’t remember, Jake was the tall, handsome jock who all the cheerleaders wanted to date. Jake actually had a crush on Samantha (Molly Ringwald) who was the shy nerdy girl whose sister always got all the attention. Are you with me so far? Through a series of 1980s teen movie hilarities, Samantha and Jake keep missing each other, until the very end of the movie. The crowd clears and there is Jake leaning on his 944 asking for Samantha to come over and ride off into forever bliss in a red 944. The guy gets the girl with the big hair and they drive off into the sunset in what I would imagine was Jake’s second or third high school Porsche. It was also about this time that I was introduced to the harsh concept of reality vs fantasy, and unlike Jake, I would not be driving a Porsche in high school under any circumstances. When Sixteen Candles came out, I envisioned my own version of the last scene in my mind. Just like Jake I was a really cool high school Porsche guy, but in this version I am standing next to my 928 from Risky Business. As I am waiting for the crowd to clear, I catch the eye of my slightly nerdy high school crush across the street, as she is reluctantly leaving with her parents to go to her much more popular sister’s wedding reception. As she is walking over she turns to her parents and very excitedly mouths “This is the guy!” and of course they tell her to run off with me instead of going to her sister’s dumb wedding reception. I can see the pride in her father’s eyes as his daughter and I head off for a joyride on the twisty and mostly un-patrolled back roads of Rusk County in East Texas, driving one of the fastest and most powerful production cars of that era. As an 2 April
SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 817-329-6995 adult I can now see that there were a few minor flaws in my teen fantasy, but at the time it seemed pretty doable as long as I could just get my hands on a Porsche 928 and a driver’s license.
MAV OF THE MONTH: Jim Hirsch This month, Jim Hirsch officially turns over the Editor role of Slipstream. When he joined the Mavericks in 2014 he immediately jumped in, and after a short training period, took over as Editor of our monthly newsletter. In that time, Jim has worked more hours than any of us will ever know to create a publication that has only gotten better month after month. Jim has also applied the same care and meticulous attention to detail in finding a new Editor and assuring a smooth transition. Although stepping away from the Slipstream role, Jim will continue to be a big part of the Maverick Region, working with Mavs & Mochas as well as jumping in where needed to make our club better by the day!

Preview: May at Mayo’s 2018 By Debi Kruder It’s that time of year, when our Porsches are enjoying the sunshine and are ready for some outdoor fun with fellow Mavs! Yes, that’s right, it’s May at Mayo’s on Saturday, May 5! As in past years, Mayo Performance is clearing their garage so we can eat, drink, and spend time driving friendships. While the venue is the same as in years past, the menu (both food and events) is quite different and promises to be great fun! Be sure to arrive on time at 11 am to check in for your meal tickets and for the new “Porsche Pair-up.” What’s that, you say? Well, you’ll be paired with new and old Mavs to form a team. Your team will work together to find the Porsche in the lot that matches the “Porsche Pair-Up” trivia questions. Game begins at noon! It’s a great way to meet new folks and their cars. Mavs who participate in the game and submit their answers will all receive our cool May at Mayo’s car decal. Members on winning teams will have their names submitted in a drawing for one of three premium prizes provided by our partners Nordstrom, Mayo Performance, and Silver Fox. What’s on the food menu, you ask? Well it’s on wheels too! We are happy to have both The Butcher’s Son and the Texas Burrito Company gourmet food trucks serving us burritos, tacos, quesadillas, sliders, and gourmet sandwiches, all paired with chips and a drink! Want to cool off? Grab a delicious treat from Steel City Pops as you walk and admire both classic and new Porsches. We are excited to welcome one of our new charitable organizations: Patriot PAWS!
The mission of Patriot PAWS is to train and provide service dogs of the highest quality, at no cost, to disabled American veterans and others with mobile disabilities and PTSD in order to help restore their physical and emotional independence. 6 April
Our goal is for Maverick PCA to raise enough to provide a service dog in 2018. You can make a contribution online when registering for May at Mayo’s or at the event. Registration for May at Mayo’s is available online and is $20 per person. Registration is required. Your registration fee includes your entrée of choice from the gourmet food trucks, chips, soft drink or water, and a gourmet ice pop, not to mention a chance at premium prizes! What’s happened to the People’s Choice Car Show, historically at May at Mayo’s? Well, it’s moved to Sunday, June 24, with location and registration information coming soon. So mark your calendars for Saturday, May 5 from 11 am to 1 pm, and go online to register for May at Mayo’s today! With great food, friends, and Porsches, it’s sure to be a great time!
Autocross Series: The 2018 Season is underway By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair
photos by LightSpeed Images
Event #1 of the 10 event series was held at Lone Star Park, the excellent site for these events, in Grand Prairie, on February 25th.
Carey Spreen and Sue Crimm brought out their fresh re-built engine in the 924S and are going to be a threat in this class when they sort out how quick that car really is. Ed Mayo and Julia Underwood left the 911s at home this time and brought the second 914 in this class. Ryan Harris / Marc Nemati 991 GT3 RS Doug Edney ran alone in class P7 this time. I understand he has some new suspension parts to put in and look forward to seeing his low-rider 996 at the next event. The autocross drivers school March 17th at Mineral Wells was sold out and the event that follow on the 18th is a Mirror-Cross. This means a Christmas Tree Light side by side drag race start on mirror image courses set up side by side. After each run, the cars swap sides and do it again. The Mineral Wells site is excellent for these format events and a lot of fun. There are two more of these scheduled in 2018. Watch the calendar in Slipstream, on the website 110 drivers made at least 6 attempts at quick times MAV.PCA.ORG or Facebook page for the remaining without knocking over any two second penalty events this season. cones. Fifteen Porsche drivers competed in six classes. Significant others came out to drive again and made up a third of our entries. The new 991 GT3 RS, co-driven by Ryan Harris and Marc Nemati, decided to run the SCCA SSP class and were a lot of fun to watch negotiate this relatively fast course. The largest Porsche class P-4 had two drivers entered in each of the three cars for some close competition. Amir El-Baghdady brought out his beautiful 944 S2 Cabriolet and was really tossing it around for three runs. Something gave up on his 4th run so he had to ride a flatbed home that afternoon. Hope he gets that fixed and comes back soon. Carolle Liu is starting her second season and had Amir worried. She is signed up for the autocross school March 17th and all events this season. Ronald and Hubert Wong brought out their 997 and 991’s, complete with baby seats in the rear. Ronald’s 997 Cab was faster this time. It must have been because he had two baby seats in his car! Steve and Sherry Farnam brought their beautiful yellow Cayman GT4 from Southern Texas and chased each other down in class P3. We hope to keep seeing them at our events. Class P4 was the 914 and 924S class at this event. Sigrid almost successfully “skirted” Mark with her final fastest time, but clipped a cone to let him win this time.

Mavs & Mochas Recap: Zims Autotechnik By Rich Johnson
photos by Andrew Barber and Kirk Pruitt
Speechless! No words can fully explain this spring morning at Zims.
If I could wind the clock back to the very first 914 event Diane and I attended, that we call “the 914 Woodstock,” this gathering had the same Porsche magic.
It was March 1, 1968 when the first 914 was introduced to the world. Once considered the ugly duckling of the Porsche family, the 914 has now become appreciated for its mid-engine design, great handling, and open-air fun. On Saturday, March 10 we celebrated 50 years of the 914, and celebrate we did, with nearly 30 914s in attendance. We had several original 1970 914/6s, many four-cylinder cars, a few “restomods,” some six conversions, a V8, and a couple of “works in progress.” We had planned for 16 cars, and it’s safe to say most people never see even 10 April
a few 914s together, but when 27 show up, you are speechless! Someone mentioned that ten 914s showed for the Rennsport event. I’m thinking they might want to visit DFW. Yes, the 914s were well-represented, but not the only members of the Porsche family to join us. Over a hundred and seventy other Porsches made it out for morning coffee. As you walked the Zims lot, every turn you made revealed something better than the last. Pristine 356s from the Tub Club and lots of air-cooled 911s and 996s showed their pride. Turbos, Cabs, Targas, and several slant-nose 911s, not to mention the transaxle cars, like Andy Kay’s beautiful 928 and Rob Adams’ spectacular 968. Lastly, there was the incredible 2018 Panamera Sport Turismo from Park Place Porsche, our official sponsor of Mavs & Mochas. Now let’s talk about the people and coffee. The crowd was amazing, with close to two hundred people, young and old, walking and talking cars. Al Zim, our host, was out mingling in the crowd, as was Ed Mayo, not to mention Alan Bambina; all three Mavericks and club legends. The coffee -- well let’s just say thanks to Felix coffee; it flowed nonstop for nearly two hours.
above: Jim Hirsch, Kirk Pruitt and Bill Kruder below: 2018 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo
As many of you know, each month at our Mavs & Mochas we try to feature a significant anniversary or milestone in Porsche history. So if you missed this one, you missed one for the ages, but mark your calendar and join us next month. We will be out again at North Park, celebrating the ‘60s cars and driving friendships. Editor’s Note: Just to set the record straight: The number of914s that made an appearance Rennsport Reunion V in 2015 might have been more than 10, but may still have been less than the 27 that showed up at Mavs & Mochas!

Kruder’s Cars & Conversation By Bill Kruder This month’s “conversation” one could say was 35 plus years in the making. When we first met a couple years ago we learned we both had worked for J.C. Penney for well over three decades and had never met. Matter of fact my lifelong friend and mentor’s wife is best friends with his wife, yet that never came up. So it took Porsches, years after we both retired, to finally meet and strike up a friendship for the ages. So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you…
photos courtesy of Bob Molyneux Auditor out of the Denver office, which was actually a satellite office for Dallas. Now this was long before the company ever thought of moving its headquarters to Plano.
Florida, well I kind of neglected to tell Anne that little detail (laughing). So we did this long distance romance for a bit then married in 1977.
BK: I understand that you moved a few times? BM: I did. I was only in Denver for three years. They then moved me to Florida and on to Detroit, then finally to Dallas. We arrived here in 1984 and have called this home ever since, matter of fact we live in the same original house in Plano. BK: So tell me how you and Anne met?
BK: Ok let’s talk cars, what was your first? BM: My dad bought me a 1966 VW Beetle for my sixteenth birthday, think they stickered for like $2,000.
Bob Molyneux, member since 2013, Owner 2009 Carrera (997.2) Bill Kruder: So are you originally from here? Bob Molyneux: No I grew up in Downey, Ca. and stayed there till I left for college. It was a great place to live, I was thirty minutes to the beach so I surfed as a teenager and I was about an hour from the mountains so I skied too. BK: And where did you head off to for college? BM: Well I stayed close to home for the first two years attending Cerritos Junior College. I worked out my schedule so I could surf and go to school, some days I did both (laughing). After two years there I transferred to the University of Denver and got my B.S. in Accounting. BK: What did you do after college? BM: Right after graduating college in 1973 I started with J.C.Penney. They hired me as Field 12 April
BM: Now that’s kind of interesting. We met while both at U of D, I was in a fraternity and she was in a sorority and we hung in the same circles. I knew who she was but that was about it. Then about two years later I was skiing at Copper Mountain, CO. and in those days if you were going up ski lift you would yell “single” to let someone know that you needed a lift partner; to my surprise who joins me is Anne. So with that after some time we started to date. Then it was St Patrick’s Day we were at a party and my roommate said he was sure going to miss me when I moved to
BK: And what’s your memory of always wanting a Porsche? BM: I always thought they were a cool car as a kid and a guy in our neighborhood had one. But I think what really did it was when I lived in Florida and went to Sebring. I was hanging around with some car guys and we attended a race and a Vette and a 934 were racing down the track towards the turn we were in. Well when the two cars braked coming into the turn the 934 then just shot out of it. I just remember the sound of the engine. BK: Now I understand you had a brief brush with history at Watkins Glen? BM: Well not sure about history but we were at the Glen for the F1 race, think it was around 1978 and Mario Andretti was doing some pre race laps when suddenly he crashes. Well I had my 8mm video camera rolling and caught the whole thing; the friend I was with said he didn’t think the CBS cameras caught that. So we go over to the CBS tent and tell them what happened and that I caught it on film. Well sure enough they hadn’t captured it and bought my footage and used on TV for the opening segment; they paid me $400 in which we promptly bought a washer and dryer (laughing).
BK: So tell me about your car? BM: Well it’s a 2009 Meteorite Grey Metallic 997.2 over Black; we bought it in 2013 from Boardwalk Porsche and joined the club the same day.
997 along the Talihena Highway
BK: I understand you and Anne attend a lot of club events? BM: We do. We try to get out to Mavs & Mochas, some of the tours, socials now and then and we have been to Palooza twice.
BK: Oh yes let’s talk about Palooza; I also recall you were awarded the “buck stops here” award at Founders Day? BM: Oh geez talk about a day to remember, or as Anne would say forget (laughing). It was the first drive of what was a three day tour, the morning was just perfect. We all took off, think there 20-25 cars in the group and we head out on the perfect road. Well, the group approaches and about half the cars passed a garbage truck. We were next to pass the truck so we accelerated around the truck to find the lead cars well ahead and gone so we decide to keep the speed down to about 45 as to let the 10-12 cars behind us catch up with us. About this time I had this strange feeling that someone or thing was watching us. Well someone was! It was
a deer and I swear our eyes locked on each other! Not sure who’s eyes got larger (laughing). Next thing I know the deer leaps and flies into the left front of the car, hits us and runs off into the woods. So we stop to assess the damage and decide we could continue to drive, but little did we know we were leaking radiator fluid badly and only made it another couple miles. Lucky for us one of the sponsors of the drive was Ozark Import Specialist in Fayetteville. We had the car flat bedded and they had us back on the road the next day. So there you have it! If Bob and Anne had not decided to join us for coffee at Pearl Cup for our then Porsche DFW Cars and Coffee we might have never met even after spending over 35 years with the same company. Now that’s Driving Friendships.

The Porsche Effect: A Taste of the Petersen Museum By Michael McGrath
Founded on June 11, 1994, by magazine publisher Robert E. Petersen and his wife Margie, the $40 million Petersen Automotive Museum, on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, CA, is owned and operated by the Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation.

diagrams of the model evolution through the years. Photographs also adorn the walls illustrating the history of the Porsche family, the leaders of the organization over time, and the evolution of the factories and special projects.
In 2015, the museum underwent an extensive $125 million renovation. The building’s façade was redesigned by the architectural firm Kohn Peterson Fox, and features a stainless steel ribbon assembly made of 100 tons of 14-gauge type 304 steel in 308 sections, 25 supports, and 140,000 custom stainlesssteel screws. In February 2018 the museum launched a new exhibit known as “The Porsche Effect.” The exhibit runs through January of 2019. This is one of the largest collections of Porsche automobiles and artifacts in one location outside of Stuttgart, Germany. It is designed to tell the story of Porsche through the years and the company’s influence on culture, as well as illustrate the passion that exists for the cars and the brand. As soon as you enter the museum you are surrounded by amazing Porsche history.
I stopped in my tracks to gaze at the 904 Carrera GTS and the 910 racing car. This is fol-
lowed by no less than two GT1s. Then as you wander past the ticket stand you find a deep blue 918 Hybrid, a 1956 550 RS Spyder, and the one car that I stopped and stared at for a very long time admiring its beauty: a 1951 Sauter Porsche 356 Roadster. Once you have your entry ticket, you are free to enter the main exhibit of 28 vehicles in the Mullin Family Grand Salon. Upon entry you are greeted by a sleek 1939 Porsche Type 64 60K10 in gloss black. The aerodynamic styling of this vehicle must have made it appear as it was from out of the future in 1939! This two seat compact coupe was conceived for a planned race from Berlin to Rome in late 1939. This smooth aerodynamic styling influenced the next model to come -- the 356. From the Type 64 you are escorted through time and the history of Porsche, as you are treated to original scale models for product development, original drawings, schematics, and other historic documents. The walls of the museum are full of interesting information about the company history, as well as full scale 18 April
As you snake past the artifacts and around the perforated dividers, you are greeted by a pristine example of the 1955 356 Cabriolet, briefly referred to as the “Continental.” The Continental was conceived by influential New York importer Max Hoffman, who believed that the American market would be more likely to embrace a vehicle with an evocative name, rather than a mere number designation. Porsche was forced to re-badge the Continental when Ford informed them that they had already trademarked that name. As a result, few Continentals were produced and the name briefly changed to “European,” then back to 356.
The center area of the exhibit is dedicated to The Porsche Club of America. Large graphic images of Panorama cover pages adorn the walls, and there is a large display of historic artifacts from the club. Many years’ worth of historic radiator badges are displayed. The
Also displayed in this area is the very limited 2016 991 GTS Club Coupe. The very existence of this vehicle demonstrates the close relationship between Porsche and the Porsche Club of America (PCA). This car was produced in honor of PCA’s 60th anniversary. The next section was my personal favorite: a collection of Porsche racing cars. The first vehicle in the display is the 1955 550/1500 RS Spyder, Chassis 0073. The mid-engine Spyder was the first production Porsche specially developed for racing. The aluminum body and tubeframe chassis reduced weight, while the 110 horsepower fourcam flat-4 engine gave racewinning performance. Porsche also utilized wind tunnel testing to perfect the shape of the Spyder and improve the airflow. The 550 was an overall success on the track, including this example which finished second in points in its SCCA class for the 1956 season. Other race cars on display include the 1966 Carrera 6, 2008 RS Spyder, 1983 956, and a 1985 959 “Paris Dakar.” Two iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning models are also included: a Gulf-livery 917K, and the more recent 2015 919 Hybrid that was part of the team that kicked off the most recent “Hat Trick” of successive wins at Le Mans in 2015, 2016, and 2017. Power in the 919 comes from a 500-horsepower four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine and a 400+ horsepower electric motor that derives power from a combination of reclaimed braking and exhaust energy. This chassis came in second in the 2015 Le Mans race and won the 6 hour events at COTA, the Nürburgring, and Fuji.

120,000-member-strong club (over 144 regions) makes this club unique among fans of automobile marques in both size and complexity. The “Porsche Parade,” an annual national convention of PCA members, is often staged in smaller American cities where the dramatic influx of members and their vehicles creates the maximum “Porsche Effect.”
The exhibit also includes several interesting prototypes, historic advertising, Porsche Design products, and company contributions to other pursuits such as cycling and snow sledding. The Petersen Automotive Museum exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to examine a purposefully selected array of Porsche vehicles whose designs both celebrate and challenge the firm’s engineering tradition. Together they provide a means to understand how so small a company has come to wield so large an influence, an influence that can only be described as “The Porsche Effect” 19
ABCDE: All British & European Car Day By Bill Kruder, Coffee Meets Chair The 34th Annual Exposition is set for Sunday May 6, 2018 at White Rock Lake Park Dreyfuss Club Point. The location is Buckner Blvd and Lake Highlands Drive, and I invite you to come out! This will be our second year to motor over and participate as a club. Last year we had nearly 30 members attend braving the winds that literally created white caps on the lake. Despite the weather, we enjoyed some cool cars and captured some great photos!

This year, for our second annual attendance as a club, we would like our Porsches to have an even bigger showing.
of craftsmen and women who desire to restore, maintain, and preserve vintage automobiles. Maverick Region generated $750 in entry fee contributions, and the club donated another $250 for a very cool $1000.
If you have never attended on your own, it’s one of the best venues in Dallas for a car show. The lake view is great, and the exposition sports a wide range of vintage cars, from pristine Rolls Royces to classic Triumphs. With our club joining the event last year, we certainly were one of the biggest marquees in attendance! Last year, Rob Wallace won our class with his perfectly presented 1973 Phoenix Red 914/4.
So, if you are interested in spending your Sunday afternoon with some of the best vintage cars from Europe, at a spectacular venue, and with some of your best friends, we would like to see you there!
Lastly, ABCDE is supporting the scholarship fund of the RPM Foundation to further the careers
Registration for the All British & European Car Day is $25 per vehicle. Online registration closes Thursday, May 3 at 11:59pm.

Maverick Trivia: Are you a Porschephile? Jerry DeFeo You can test your knowledge (or Google search ability) of all things Porsche by participating in the monthly trivia contest posted online at http://mav.pca.org/trivia. Answers are due by the last day of each month. The winner of the trivia contest receives a $25 gift certificate from our sponsor, Zims Autotechnik. In the case of ties, a random drawing determines the winner. Scott Gray was our winner for the February 2018 Trivia. We had lots getting all 5 of 5 correct and used a random drawing of the 8 Members to choose the winner. We went with a Trivia that brings attention to the IMS bearing failure problem that has plagued Porsche for years. Honorable Mention, also getting all 5 of 5 correct, were Tom Martin, Cyril Reif, Jim Hirsch, Tom Gomer, Carey Spreen, Hunter Bentley, and Andy Hsich. For the record, we accepted A, C, or D for question 3 as a correct answer, as that is VERY subjective and depends on your level of expertise to do it yourself, and the time taken by a Porsche dealership or Porsche specialist. The gentleman doing the video recommends changing the oil YOURSELF at home so you can carefully examine for bits of metal.

When 1+1=3: How Tall is Tall Enough For a Garage Lift? By Jim Hirsch How many Mavericks have more cars than garage space to park? After many years of living with three cars and a double garage, I made a purchase last fall that required me to re-think how to properly store all three vehicles. In the past, I simply jockeyed the cars around in the driveway as needed, with one usually relegated to the outdoor parking space under a high quality cover. Yes, severe storms, especially hail, always created some anxiety as even the best outdoor cover doesn’t provide enough padding to protect from large hail. Adding extra layers and strapping everything down was the best protection I could give. That said, back to this fall’s Porsche purchase. A long time Maverick Region member was letting go of his 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo after 24 years of enjoyment.
I happened to be in the right place at the right time and convinced him I should be the next caretaker of this beautiful piece of 80’s Porsche history. That presented the dilemma – none of the three cars we currently owned could afford to sit outside any longer. I didn’t even want to think of renting or purchasing a remote parking spot since driving any of these at a moment’s whim is the point of having more cars than people in our household. The solution? A four-post parking lift. The challenge? A typical 1993 home with a 20’X20’
photos provided by author garage with a ceiling height of 9’ 2”. Most people said “no way” when I began researching lift options. Long story short, my research paid off with a solution that fits both Porsches in our garage with room to spare in a single spot. First, your garage door itself is a primary limiting factor. Standard height rails keep your raised door around 7’ 6” off the ground. No matter how you park a car on a lift, you will need more than 8’ of garage door clearance for that upper car to fit under the door. The easy solution? Replace the existing rails with a high-lift option (more vertical lift before going horizontal) and add a wall mounted lift opener. I used a LiftMaster 8500 series.
Next, do your math. With the right lift, you only need to accommodate the combined height of the two cars you plan to park on the lift plus 8”. In my case, my cars were 50.1” and 50.4” tall, so I needed a total of 109” and had 110” height in my garage, so I was good to go. Here are my two Porsches tucked nicely into their single garage space.
Of course, not all lifts work properly within that formula. You need to purchase one that has
adjustable lock rails, plus needs only one inch of raise to unlock. My best advice if you’re thinking of getting a lift for your garage? Stop by and see one in operation and take as many measurements as you can to see how things will fit in your garage. Like most recommendations, our members will have all manners of favorites. I have Greg and Julia Cleath to thank for letting me spend time with their lift, even though they have a much higher garage height and depth than I do. The key to me in addition to a high quality lift is the installer. Mine spent the necessary time with me to park and re-park the Porsches in both “bunks” and then dialed in my adjustable locks perfectly. With a little studying and planning, that’s how I made 1 +1 = 3 in our limited garage space. 25

Maverick Moments: This month in Maverick History By Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
images courtesy University of North Texas Libraries
Before I began laying out my first issue of Slipstream, I thought it might be a good idea to look back. Any club with cars and 55 years of history must have some pretty good memories. I’ve found that to be an understatement. Looking through the back issues of Slipstream I have come across some great articles, wonderful photos and art, but most of all I have found stories of lasting friendship and a passion for Porsche throughout the years .
Slipstream through the years: 1977, 1978, 1984, 1987 Beautiful artwork from 1975
Slipstream, April 1964
In the coming year, I will occasionally dip into the Slipstream past and share some tidbits that spark my interest. I hope they do they same for you. “Expecting a room full of old fogey stuffed shirts that all paid for their little darlings with cash, Pat stuffed all her courage in her pocket and went to the DFW Hilton for the March ‘86 dinner meeting. The March program was the “Talent Show”. She saw the club president plinking on a banjo; the treasurer, co-vice-president, and membership chairman dancing with “Mona” to the BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE, and the best Joe Cocker in the metroplex. And throughout the entire evening was warned repeatedly to “watch out for Carl”. She felt right at home!!! ‘It was a relief to see these are normal people.’” – excerpt of Jan Mayo’s Profile of Pat Hildreth, 1987

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor By Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
images courtesy of Debi Kruder
Hello, my name is Kurt Scaggs. I am your newest editor of Slipstream. You might have noticed some changes in the newsletter this month. I can assure
you, it’s a new look, but the same great taste.
Jim has told me who the trouble makers are, so you can put your pens down. Actually that’s not the case at all. Jim has had nothing but great things to say about being editor and has been amazing getting me up to speed. I hope you like the changes, but if you see something that can be improved upon I am only a click or two away. Outside of Slipstream I am a creative director in the retail packaging business. That’s a fancy way of saying that I’m a designer. That might go a long way towards explaining my inability to leave well enough alone.
On the subject of past editors, and I’d like to recognize that past editors like Fran Ussery, Julia Underwood, Carey Spreen and Wendy Shoffit (I’m missing many, so please pardon my brevity) are pretty big acts to follow. These names should be familiar to everyone that enjoys Slipstream as they are regular contributors to the club. I could go on about the efforts and contributions of so many that you see on these pages and many more that you don’t. They make this club run, well, like a Porsche. If you would like to be a part of the great team that makes the club run, join us at the next board meeting at Hackberry Country Club. Enjoy the Drive!
I would like to join the many, many members who have thanked Jim for his tireless efforts to create this publication every month. The countless contributions he’s made to the club have made a lasting impact. His passion has made Slipstream what it is today and with his help, we will continue on that path.
Congratulations to the Maverick Region’s newest power couple, Bill and Debi Kruder. 1964 “Hagestad” in matrimonial livery.
