Slipstream - April 2020 by Maverick Region - Porsche Club of America

PUBLISHED BY MAVERICK REGION PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA

APRIL 2020

Taycan. Rhymes with icon. Park Place presents a classic in the making: the new Taycan. It’s the first all-electric Porsche ever produced—and a high-performance sports car through and through. With two permanent-magnet synchronous motors generating up to 750 hp and acceleration faster than a skydiver in free fall. Plus, an 800-volt battery that can be partially recharged to add up to 62 miles of range in just over five minutes. And this iconic Porsche comes equipped with a legendary dealership experience.

That’s what makes Park Place feel like Your Place.

Board Botschaft: Get Specific by Chris Flaugh, Region Treasurer I’ve mentioned before that one of the great things about this club is that we have such a variety of events for our members, intended to appeal to a wide range of interests. And there’s also something for a wide range of Porsches as well. Beyond our official club events and offerings, there are numerous national and local groups dedicated to specific Porsche models, such as 356, 914, 924, 928, 944, 968, 993, 986, 987, 996, 997, etc. The knowledge and assistance of these groups can greatly enhance the ownership experience of a Porsche that may be 40+ years old. About two years ago, I decided I wanted to buy a 928. I had owned a number of different Porsches over the years (911, 924, 944, Boxsters, Cayenne), but not a 928 at that point. I had always admired the design of the 928, but had never driven one. I knew a Maverick member who owned a 928, so I let him know I was considering buying one. I was promptly invited to the local monthly 928 breakfast, where I got plenty of input to start me on my 928 search. As I started looking at potential cars to buy, local 928 owners were there as a sounding board and to offer specific advice on what to look for on a 928. Shortly after buying my first 928, I was running some errands, came out to start it up . . . nothing. Turning the ignition key yielded no results, although the car had power for the radio, windows, etc. So, here I am, sitting in a liquor store parking lot, in 95 degree weather, with a 37-year-old Porsche that won’t start. I could have just called Hagerty roadside assistance and had the car towed, but I was only a mile from home and didn’t want to give up that easily. I decided to post a question on the local 928 group Facebook page, asking for advice. Within just a few minutes, I had several helpful suggestions. First, check the ground strap and battery cables. All fine there. Next, does the horn work? I thought that was kind of odd, but I checked the horn, and it did work. Then I was told to

unplug the starter relay, unplug the horn relay and plug it into the starter relay position. I had no idea where these relays were located, or even where the relay panel was. About a minute later, a copy of the relay panel diagram was sent to me, showing exactly where the relays in question were. So, I swapped the relays, the car started right up, and I drove home. I own two 928s now, and that’s the only time either of them have left me stranded. So, the point of my story is, if you have an older Porsche, find your people - those who know and love that same model - it can make a huge difference in how much you enjoy your car!

MAV OF THE MONTH: Matt Wilson Matt has been with the PCA for a little over 10 years now. He is affectionately known as a member of the Westside, as he’s a resident of Fort Worth. Matt knows that Porsches are meant to be driven, so crisscrossing the Metroplex for events is no issue for him. Whether he’s driving his 981 Cayman S or his 997 Turbo, Matt is always there early to help us set up for so many of our club events. Matt has always been our go-to guy when selecting locations on the west side of the Metroplex to meet, so it was a wonderful welcome to have Matt step into the Chair position for our Coffee Meets. There was a high bar already set, as Mavs & Mochas is one of our most popular monthly events. Matt has taken the wheel and is steering us to another successful year. We look forward to the upcoming locations he has picked out. Matt doesn’t stop there; he shifts gear to make sure we continue the “shop talk” at Motoring Mavs at Mayo’s and Garages & Gearheads. This is yet another shining example for our club staying Fueled By Volunteers. Please join me in congratulating Matt as our Maverick of the Month. 2 April

February Tech Session: The Phoenix Insurance by Mike O’Hare, Tech Sessions Co-Chair Who would really want to attend an insurance seminar on a beautiful Saturday morning? How about 35 passionate Porsche owners looking to save, or gain peace of mind on a coverage plan that best meets their individual needs! Well, that’s exactly what happened on Saturday February 22, when Justin Husman and Jason Olson from The Phoenix Insurance Company hosted this very informative Tech Session. The duo fielded all types of questions regarding options of coverage, claims, deductibles, and premiums. At the end, Phoenix’s message was simple: find a coverage plan tailored to meet your own specific needs, as we are all different!

Primary reason for joining PCA

I love Porsche! It’s the probably one of the best cars/brands of all time. I’m so lucky that I got that text message from my uncle two years ago asking if I wanted my aunt’s Cayenne. I’m also fresh out of college and new to Dallas. To be with a group of people who own and love Porsches will keep me motivated to work hard enough to buy one on my own in the future.

Current Porsche(s)

2006 Cayenne

Best thing about Porsche ownership

The acceleration. Once you’re in and driving for it the first few times you just know there’s no going back.

Hobby and/or leisure interests

Formula 1, basketball, and food.

The Bluebonnet Tour: Preview by Sam Bryant, Tours Co-Chair Our first tour of the 2020 season takes place on Sunday, April 26. It is the very popular Bluebonnet Tour that takes place in and around Ennis, Texas. Ennis was designated by the 1997 State Legislature as the home of the “Official Texas Bluebonnet Trail” and was designated the “Official Bluebonnet City Of Texas.” Ennis showcases over 40 miles of Bluebonnet trails. These trails are the oldest such trails known in the state, and tens of thousands make the short trek to Ennis to view this wonderful wildflower show. The Bluebonnet tour starts in Red Oak at the Red Oak Middle School, 154 Louise Ritter Blvd, Red Oak, Texas 75154, which is south of Dallas on Interstate 35 in Ellis County. The destination is 210 South Interstate 45, Ennis, Texas 75119. The Maverick Executive Board is working closely with PCA National to monitor the Coronavirus situation. We are CANCELING ALL INDOOR EVENTS THROUGH THE END OF APRIL, so the tour will not stop at the destination.

12 April

photos provided by Jay Lynch We have two classes on our tours. Choose Vintage class for a more relaxed scenic tour, or Modern Class for the same tour that we have provided in the past. Whichever class you choose, it is your decision no matter what type of Porsche you drive. After you register, and three days before the tour, we will send you all the information needed to attend. We hand out packets the day of the tour with all the information as well. The Drivers’ Briefing will begin at 10 am, so please arrive early so that you are signed in on time. Most tour attendees arrive early to meet new friends and socialize with familiar faces. Arriving early also helps our volunteers get everyone signed in on time so the tour will be on schedule. No special equipment is needed. Our Group Leaders will be familiar with the route and will guide each group of Porsches to the destination. Volunteers needed. Do you want to lead the pack? We are in need of your help! You can help by signing in attendees. Or better yet, would you like to be a Group Leader? Please contact us at email: tours@mavpca.org

Park Place GM Patrick Huston gave an enthusiastic and informative briefing on the new wheels, and along with his staff, answered questions from the coffee and donuts crowd. Members were given the opportunity to sit in the seats, fire up the lights, and watch the new sleek blue coupe quietly glide off the showroom floor.

Autocross Series: Event 1, Lone Star Park, February 23 by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair

photos by Robert Kirby of Lightspeed Images

Early season Autocross events can bring some interesting weather and this one did not disappoint. Cold, windy, and even some drizzly rain greeted the four different run groups which totaled 134 drivers. The Porsche Team (15 drivers) worked the first session and drove their six runs in session three, with light drizzle that did not seem to change conditions very much. The new 2020 Porsche class breakdowns seem to be working well. See http://mav.pca.org/ Events/Autocross/2020_MAVPCA_AX_Classes_ Charts_1_10_2020.pdf for car class details. The 15 Porsche drivers in attendance for this event fit into four classes. We had two Porsche SUVs in Class P0. Their times were close to each other, but Igor Tulandin P0 - 'PCA 1T 2 P1 - 'PCA 1T 2T 3 4 5 P2 - 'PCA 1T 2T 3T 4 5 P3 - 'PCA 1T 2 3

(Cayenne GTS) was able to outrun Gagik Farmanyan (Macan S) by just under a second. Interestingly, Igor was quicker than seven of the Porsche sportscars, or nine of them if you look at the Performance Index (PAX) standings. Class P1 started out a lot like the prior few years, with the Ed Mayo 1972 911S and the Schnoerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1974 914 2.0 going after each other and driving times down each run. Mark, Ed, and Sigrid ended up covered by just 0.513 seconds and finishing in that order.

Maverick Marktpreis: 991.1 by Peter Wen Can 2020 be the Year of Water-Cooled 911s? The editors at Total 911 magazine certainly think so. In their “Cars to Buy in 2020” article in issue 189/Mar ‘20, seven out of ten cars featured were water-cooled. Specifically, they called out 991.1 Carrera/S to be of “outstanding value for the money.” The 991.1 was produced from 2012-2016. It was the last non-turbo 911 generation, and the generation that blurred the lines between sports car and grand touring car. Data clearly shows that, compared to the 997 generation, the next generation 991.1 is a better

performance car. The 991.1 is more powerful, more technologically advanced, has better fuel economy, and weighs less - all while being a bigger car! It offers a quieter and more upscale cabin with loads of creature comforts. It’s a car you can daily-drive and take on long trips without hesitation. Since the 991 is the most populous 911 generation, finding the right one does not present too great a challenge. My brief search yielded several fine examples that have depreciated 40~60% from the original MSRP. Truly a great bargain for a modern, high-performance 911.

Fun fact: The 991 was the first 911 generation equipped with electric power steering (which replaced the feedback-rich hydraulic steering). Purists such as Richard Hammond bemoans that “as a result of the change, the 911 is now George Clooney without the twinkle, Cindy Crawford without the mole”.

Coffee, Cars & Conversation by Bill Kruder So every month when I’m sitting down to visit with someone I am continually amazed at the people I get to meet and what they share. This month I decided to pick some one that you all “know” well. You know his work in the club as he designs all our club and event ads. For the longest time when he took this job from Kurt Scaggs, our Editor, I didn’t even know who he was. I would email what I needed and he would with in 24-48 hours send something back to me. Finally after months we meet face to face at a board meeting. Still having no idea what he drove mind you. As the months turned into a couple years now I have gotten to know both him and his wife and I can tell you they are what our club is all about.

photos provided by author BK: How did you decide on that? DT: I always liked to draw and my uncle had an advertising agency in Houston. I thought I’d take 5 years to get a 4-year college degree, move to Houston and work for him. The beaches of Florida and quality time with my brother took me south instead. All these years later I never made it to Houston but I did get the chance to work with him on freelance projects. BK: So let’s go back to leaving Pennsylvania, when and where?

So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you . . . David Tierney, member since 2016 Owner 1999 911 996 cab Bill Kruder: So where are you two from? David Tierney: I was born and raised in Elizabeth, 45 minutes from Pittsburgh, PA, didn’t leave that area until I graduated college. BK: And where was that? DT: I went to California University known as Cal U. It’s a small school with about 7K students, and no it’s not in that California (laughing). It’s in California, PA which is only about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh. I commuted and worked through college living with roommates in houses with wheels. BK: Sounds like a story, but tell me first what was your degree in? DT: It’s in Advertising and Commercial Design. 20 April

David and Susan Tierney

DT: After graduating, I packed up everything in my 1974 Ford stepbed truck and journeyed to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to work and live with my younger brother. For the next year and half, we were longshoreman loading cargo ships at Port Everglades. BK: Then what? DT: The next chapter in my life… the military. Why not, Bill Murray made it look fun. I had neighbors in the National Guard and they talked me into joining the 743rd Maintenance Unit. It was in Ft. Lauderdale how bad could it be. So that’s what I did and needless to say my civilian career took me west.

BK: So how you did you end up in Dallas? DT: I started working for Blockbuster corporate in Florida that moved to Dallas, and then my advertising career moved me L.A., Kansas, and back to Dallas in 2014. During that time, I was designing graphics for Nickelodeon and Viacom Retail Group then on to some ad agency work. BK: And now? DT: I’m the Creative Director for Panini America. No, we don’t do sandwiches (smiling). We are the world’s largest maker of trading cards much like Topps, but we do all the sports worldwide. BK: I know you are married, how did you and Susan meet? DT: It was on my first move to Dallas in 1998. I was in lower Greenville celebrating a friend’s birthday. Well Susan walks over to me and says, “didn’t we go to the same high school” and I replied “no, not unless you’re from Pittsburgh.” We shared numbers and after the “how many days to make the first call” debate with friends, Well I didn’t have to … Susan called me. We were inseparable and dated for about two years and we married in 2000. We have a son, Shawn who’s turning 17, a junior in high school and he would make any parent proud.

a rental to find a new car. Susan started looking and we found this one from a private party who was selling it to pay for his daughter’s college. We test drove it, had the car checked out, and loved it.

BK: You mentioned something about cancer? DT: Yep, not many people know I’m a survivor of Squamous Cell Carcinoma. It happened in 2015. I had three surgeries, chemo, and radiation, but happy to say we’ve beaten it this round and all is good. BK: Ok first car? DT: 1974 Chevy Malibu, my Dad paid $200. I worked on it everyday during high school, then I “accidentally” lost it. Sadly. BK: First Porsche? DT: Well heck it’s our 99 911. I always loved them but figured I couldn’t afford one until Susan found this one.

BK: What was you first attraction to Porsche? DT: “Who’s the U-boat commander?” Risky Business! That was the movie that introduced me to Porsche. That car was just sensational looking. BK: So why the 996 cab? DT: I had been driving a BMW 128 and it was totaled. The insurance company gave us two weeks with

BK: So tell me a fun fact no one knows about you? DT: Easy! I was an extra in the movie “Just Cause” with Sean Connery. They had me as a hotel bellman. But my brush with fame was off camera. Sean Connery was standing at the concierge desk between takes and dropped his pen and I happened to be there and picked it up and handed it back (grinning). And there you have it…Driving Friendships

Maverick HPDE Track Days Program: What is it? by Craig Janssen, Chief Driving Coach “Floor it!” Mike was riding in my passenger seat as my driving coach. We were exiting Big Bend corner at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, and a long straight was ahead of us. Whew. Am I allowed to floor it? We’re doing 70 mph already! Will I be able to stop at the end of the straight and make it through the right-hand corner in front of me? No need to worry; Mike had it handled and guided me calmly. We made it around the right-hand corner easily and safely. The hook was set. It was 2004 and I went on to spend the next 15 years attending, teaching, and now serving on the leadership team of the Maverick PCA HPDE Track Days program. My driving skills have improved exponentially and perhaps even more importantly, I’ve made fantastic friends along the way and have had an incredible amount of fun. What started as an exploration of what a HPDE was became a long love affair with driving on a racetrack and helping others to learn to do the same. With over 3,000 members in the DFW area, Maverick PCA is a large club with a fabulous rage of activities for members to engage in. I’ve found that many are interested in our HPDE Track Day program or at least have heard of it, but don’t really know what it is, how it works and what to do to get engaged. Here is the insider story. HPDE is the acronym for High Performance Drivers’ Education. The focus of our Maverick PCA HPDE Track Days program is to give club members an opportunity to drive on a racetrack in their street cars, develop their driving skills and to do this in a safe and awesomely fun way. We run the Maverick PCA HPDE Track Days weekend events 4-6 times a year in the DFW area, and our sister PCA clubs in Houston and Austin run an additional 4-6 events a year.

The vast majority of new attendees to our HPDE Track Days events have no prior driving experience on a racetrack and so we have designed the program to ensure a very easy onramp to the world of HPDEs. When you sign up, we chat to you about your driving background and depending on your level of experience, place you in one of four groups, ranging from beginner to advanced. Each group attends classroom training relevant to their level of experience. For beginner and intermediate drivers, we always place a highly experienced PCA approved coach in the right seat to help you improve your driving and help 26 April

to keep you safe. The most frequent question we are asked is “is this like racing?” The short answer is absolutely not! This is a driving education program with strict rules of safety and behavior on the track. Passing among participants in all but the advanced group, is limited to well-defined “passing zones” on straight parts of the track, and then only with approval from the car in front via hand signals. You only drive as fast as you are comfortable driving or as fast as your driving coach feels is safe. There is no pressure to be the fastest on track and there is no “winning.” Our HPDE Track Days program is entirely about helping you to learn to be a better driver, having fun, and making new friends. There is no level of prior experience required to attend our Track Day events, although a desire to learn new driving skills is essential, as is a desire to have a lot of fun. And perhaps a willingness to be humbled as you learn how much you don’t know! While many of our participants drive Porsches ranging from Macans to GT3s, we welcome all types of cars and you will also see Miatas, Corvettes, and Mustangs. We are passionate about what we do at Maverick HPDE Track Days and get a HUGE kick out of introducing people to the track and helping them to become better drivers. Our HPDE Track Days programs are tremendous fun, but don’t take that from me. Listen to what some of our HPDE Track Day attendees say about the program: “I was a bit intimidated to sign up as I had never been to a track and couldn’t sleep the night before due to anticipation. However, upon reaching the track I began to realize there were a lot of people just like me... NEW. My instructor Peter made all of that go away and it was THE most exhilarating, challenging, incredibly awesome thing I have ever done. The two days are worth your time and money. I marked my calendar for the next registration so I wouldn’t miss the March event. Sign up and - even if it’s not for you - at the end of the weekend you will be a better driver of your Porsche.” - Matt “It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life”! - Max “I can’t say enough about my instructor Toby. He was excellent, a great teacher and coach” - Joe You can find out more information about our HPDE Track Days program at http://mav.pca.org/Events/ HPDE/. If I can answer any questions, please reach out to me at cdi@mavpca.org or to Renee and Keith at de@ mavpca.org. Feel free to drop by any of our events to come look at the cars, watch us drive, and ask questions. You don’t need to register if you are not driving on track; just show up, come find us and say hi.

Winter Doldrums by Robert Turner LMNHED (aka) my Racing Yellow 981 Cayman S must think it’s Groundhog Day. It sits in the garage gathering dust; different day, same routine. Wake up, sit there. Mid-day, sit there some more. Sundown? Still sitting there! Only difference is the amount of ambient light in the garage. Day after day the bright yellow Porsche sits in contrast against the stark (newly painted) white wall. Rinse and repeat. The only variation is the overall temp in the garage. This is winter in Texas after all; it could be 70° one day and 22° with freezing rain three days later. I do have a routine: if the car goes three weeks without getting started, I put a battery tender on it. Oh, there’s the occasional break – for instance, Mavs & Mochas on the second Saturday of every month, rain or shine, hot or really cold. I must admit LMNHED is a fair-weather Mavs & Mochas attendee – we’ll do cold, but no rain (and it goes without saying no snow) – which so far has not been a threat. If, by some weird twist of North Texas weather fate, we ever have snow, I will for sure bring the Cayenne Diesel out; that car is built for crappy weather! So, on the odd sunny Saturday during the winter we head out to commiserate with other Porsche owners. It is a great event with a great vibe with great cars and their owners. You get the picture. I keep thinking that spring is imminent. After all, on this year’s actual Groundhog Day, the infamous Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow. That means that spring is right around the corner, right!? LMNHED is counting on it. (Remember the “gathering dust” part I mentioned earlier.) What LMHNED counts on is a day above 60°, a little bit of sun, and an afternoon with no plans; well with the exception of maybe drinking a malted beverage – or two – and the CAR WASH. Trust me, LMNNED doesn’t need it, but I love washing cars. It’s one of my favorite things to do. I have a wash routine. Griot’s car wash, a special wash mitt from Chemical Guys, and a stack of Chemical Guys’ soft and plush purple microfiber towels. Every surface is wiped free of water, and then the details: wiping every tiny edge. Free of water, LMNHED drives the whole 20 feet back into the garage. Then I clean the barrel and outside surface of every wheel. It is during that process I find something. (Hey! You knew there had to be a reason for this column, right?) I felt

the grooves of the super sticky Michelin Super Sport S4 rear tires. They had a build date of late 2017, but were already down to the wear bars. Crap! Actually, I love buying tires. So, a visit to my local Discount Tire is imminent.

So, I’m really looking forward to spring. The season of renewal, everything green again. Well, excluding the yellow pollen, but LMNHED hides it well. As if it ever gets that dirty. My wife and I are planning a spring trip to the Texas Hill Country, a chance to celebrate spring, drive the Three Sisters (Ranch Roads 335, 336, and 337), my 60th (OUCH) and our 30th anniversary. (YEAH, my wife said I better say that). But mostly we’ll enjoy each other’s company during the best time of the year. The tires? Time to break them in!
