The Inside Track by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President
J
udy and I, and some other friends, recently attended the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal and the whole experience was an absolute blast. Thanks to advice from folks like Ben Hartsell and Graham Lane, we were able to get great seats, overlooking turns one and two. This made for exciting viewing at the start of the races. Coming out of the short pit straight, the F-1 cars were reaching about 185 MPH in 5th gear before braking hard for an 83 MPH left hander in 2nd, followed immediately by a 44 MPH, 1st gear right hand turn. Hearing the cars negotiate this sequence was as neat as seeing them do it. There was a giant screen across from us, so we also had a feel for what was happening on other parts of the track. On the main straight of the 2.75 mile track, many of the cars were topping 200 MPH. According to one source, they pulled 2.5 g braking from 200 MPH to negotiate the final corners before start finish. Fernando Alonzo, in a Renault led the whole race, but there was plenty of action behind him. It was a given that the F-1 cars would be exciting, but we hadn't counted on the other great racing we would see. There were two other classes of open wheel cars. The Formula BMW cars were powered by BMW motorcycle engines with about 140 HP. The youngest driver for this feeder series was only 15! Don't we all wish we could have started this way? A new track record of 1:44:987 was
set during their race. By comparison, Alonzo qualified first with a 1:14:942. Star Mazdas had 240 HP rotary engines with six-speed sequential, no lift shift transaxles. Weighing in at 1090 lbs., they were in the 1:37's. Unfortunately a bad wreck, on the first lap, took out 15 of the 42 cars entered and shortened the scheduled 26 lap race to only 11 laps. Substantially slower, but no less hotly contested were the spec Honda Civics. It was a hoot to see them rounding the corners on 3 wheels. Talk about close racing, almost everyone's side view mirrors were dangling by the end of the race. Last, but not least were the Ferrari Challenge cars. Admittedly, it's hard to be objective here, but it appeared that financial resources took precedence over driving skills. Even then, some of the drivers couldn't buy an apex! No doubt the top drivers were very good, but the skill level did seem to drop dramatically. It would have been fun to compare the top Civic time with the worst Ferrari, but I couldn't locate either group's times. Knowing my complete lack of language skill, some people had suggested we might have communication issues. Nothing could have been further from the truth -- we found everyone spoke fluent MasterCard. If a formula one race is on your "to do" list, we can heartily recommend the Canadian Grand Prix.
Hope Shelter is a Reality by Lanean Hughes
I
s Hope a Reality? YES IT IS! … Because of You…The shelter has finally taken on the “finished look!” It has been a “Work In Progress” for sometime, and I'm sure many of you (including me) wondered, “will it ever get finished?” I'm happy to say, through the efforts of Maverick Region Members, the Hope Board, Administrator Lisa Huffaker, and others who donated materials and time, the sheet rock is completed, they are blowing in the insulation, working on sidewalks, driveway, and the sprinkler system all during mid-July through most of August. Mark your calendar, Sunday, August 27th, as we will be doing clean up, perhaps even some painting, moving, etc. We will again be going to the shelter one weekend in September. We are also planning the Open House in October/November time frame. This has been a labor of love. Many thanks to our sponsors, PCA members and their families for their constant support and dedication to this wonderful project. Please contact me regarding volunteering at either LHughes@fmstech.com or 972-484-3040. If you have friends who want to help, bring 'em on!! If you have items to donate, the shelter is open for you to bring your donations and receive a tax write off!! Thanks and look forward to seeing you on August 27th. 5

Maverick Minutes by Jan Mayo
E
l Presidente’ Rocky interrupted a conversation between Wendy and me (I think it had something to do with clothes or shoes) because HE was ready to start the meeting. He started off by asking if there was anyone interested in serving on the Nominating Committee. If so, pass your name to him on a slip of paper… nobody moved. The Nominating Committee needs to be listed in the August Slipstream. They will gather suggestions and nominations during August and September and put their suggested slate of officers in the October Slipstream. Voting will take place at Founder’s Day or by mail-in ballot prior to Founder’s Day which is November 11, 2006. Moving around the table VP Mark Gluck says all insurance requests are up to date. Dennis Chamberlain (withOUT camera in hand) was thrilled with 40+ people at the Go Fish Happy Hour. He was expecting a smaller crowd because Go Fish is a little more expensive than some of the other places. But it’s a great place and he plans on returning. Obviously the Happy Hour group agrees. July 20th Happy Hour will be at Razzoo’s in Irving (MacArthur and LBJ) and August 17th will be at Mac’s Steak and Seafood on 121 in Grapevine. Lanean’s shelter report showed a lot of progress. The sheetrock is complete and they expect the ceiling to be done this week. The sidewalk, driveway and sprinklers should be complete this month and by mid-August they will be looking for volunteers to help paint the interior.Landscaping will also be taking place this month. She is looking for some individuals to help coordinate submission of next years’ Region of the Year and Public Service awards for Maverick Region. As the national awards chairperson, she has only received one Public Service submission from Zone 5 this year and that was from Hill Country Region in Austin. The scrapbooks need to be brought up to date. There hasn’t been any work done on them for a couple years. Most all of the pictures are now digital so this job requires someone with a computer and access to a color printer or Wal-Mart as well as the artsy talent to make a presentable and entertaining scrapbook. Lanean continued with the DE dates in September (16-17) [ed. It has been moved to Sept. 2-3] and October (28-29) with the Instructor Clinic October 27. Rocky had heard there was a conflict in September with a National SCCA event that was depleting our source of corner workers. [ed. Thus the need for the change.] The last autocross at Pennington Field had 60+ drivers and Bryan Bell was thrilled. Autocrosses continue to have a positive cash flow and he still intends to lower the price for Porsche drivers next year. The next autocross is Aug 5/6 which is the first weekend of Parade. Since Charlie will be at Parade, Bryan will be driving the Truckster. Visitor Travis Howard said after reading the Board Notes he wanted to come attend a board meeting to see if it was as fun as it sounded. Robin Howard was his cheauffer. Rocky comments that the flow of little pieces of paper with Nomination Committee interest is underwhelming resulting in a 8
flurry. [ed. Once he threatened to not let us leave until he had some more names, that is!] Our tall treasure Jeff had a quarterly financial update for the board. It’s available to anyone on request and a year end report will be printed in Slipstream at the end of the year. Wendy is so excited to have the Mac’s new software installed and everything up and running. After last month’s melt down this is grand news. The Dallas Post Office seems to have resolved its problems with our mailing and the past two months have been delivered very quickly. We’re still a little skeptical on whether this will become the trend or if they’ll slip back. We haven’t pursued moving the mailing location to Fort Worth because Andy and Kelly Mears have a new baby boy and this hasn’t been right up on the top of the list for Andy. *Congrats by the way* The Murder Mystery dinner event will be solved by 33 people this weekend. Tracey Gross and Ed have put a lot of effort into this fun event. Tracey only had 10 people interested in the Ranger game and she needed 20 to get the group price. Being the optimistic soul that she is, she went ahead and got the 20 tickets. Stay tuned next month to see if she was successful in roping in another 10 people. (I’m betting on it) Tracey has planned out the rest of the year and it sounds fabulous. Aug 26 - Post Parade Party (after the rally) at Christina’s Mexican in Roanoke (yummy Margaritas). Oct 21 – Wine tasting in Plano. Nov 11 – Founder’s Day. Dec 9 – Holiday Party at Bill and Virginia Campbell’s home in Fort Worth. Lisa Steele is “Advertiser Person In Training” taking over for Mike Brodigan. Mike has happily transferred his files to Lisa and says she knows everything she needs to know. All I got out of Lisa was a giggle and some comment about margaritas ??? Christy Dominick and Rocky finish up the Round-the-Table with discussion on Christy taking over the Goodie Store responsibilty from Ed and Tracey Gross. Christy comes with great background and experience in this area and we’re lucky and happy to have her on the board. Rocky has two more things to say before we wind down. He has a little pile of scraps of paper in front of him and he scientifically plucks one out saying that the 3rd member of the Nominating Committee, joining Keith Olcha-Head and Mike Lockas is …. ta daah, Tracey Gross. If anyone has any interest in running for one of the elected board positions (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) let one of these people know as they will be working on the slate. If you have any questions on the duties or responsibilities you can review the ByLaws on the Maverick home page or ask any of us (we’ll give ya the real scoop). Rocky’s other thought was that since he would not be able to attend the August board meeting and a notable portion of the board would be at Parade, he was suggesting that any discussion that would normally take place be held via the MRPCABD list. This will be a one time action and the rest of the board meetings will take place as scheduled for the remainder of the year. There was no disagreement with this so…. We’re Done.

From The Driver’s Seat by Wendy Shoffit, Slipstream Managing Editor
O
kay... are you finally done looking at all the pictures below? How did I know? Seriously... I know the pics are way more interesting than anything I have to say. Besides, now you want an explanation about what the heck they are. Well, at the Club Race on Memorial Weekend, Lisa Steele was so kind as to bring some “Napoleon Dynamite props” from her school to provide us with a little bit of fun. You see, we had planned a sort of “skit” during dinner, but that fell through completely. So, instead, we had a bunch of people put on this wig and glasses (some complete with tater tots) just for the heck of it. Then, I thought... wouldn’t it be a hoot to publish them all and have a photo contest? So, which Napoleon do you think is the best (email me with your pick)? The original is in the upper left hand corner, for those of you who wanted a refresher. For those of you who say, “Napoleon WHO?!?” nevermind... if you haven’t seen the movie, you won’t find it funny at all. As a matter of fact, you’ll think that your illustrious editor has finally lost it completely. Well, that’s just fine with me. *wink* If this inspires you to see the movie, make sure you either a) watch it with someone who has seen it before and finds it hilarious or b) watch it multiple times. The first time... you’ll probably find yourself scratching your head saying, “What the heck was that?” Enough of the free movie promotion. On with club business.
Are you a scrapbook king/queen or is your significant other one? If so, we could really use some help! We haven’t had a decent regional scrapbook in a few years. For that matter, I don’t think we’ve had one at ALL for the last 2! Our region’s history is falling by the wayside (and we haven’t submitted for Region of the Year in awhile). The only record of our history is in Slipstream and that just won’t do. There are so many more interesting photos out there that I simply don’t have room to include in the newsletter. We now have a way to share them online (see Steve Boyd’s article in last month’s issue), but there’s just something special about holding a photo album in your hands and saying, “Oh man... I remember that event! So and so was sooooooo drunk!” Oh wait... maybe that wouldn’t be a good picture to share. Anyway, if you are mildly interested, but say, “I don’t know all these people!” that’s okay. Jan Mayo, Lanean Hughes, and I will be more than happy to help identify those strange faces. Even if you’d like to do a few pages here and there or maybe just a specific event section (for example... just the tours or just the happy hours), let me know. This doesn’t have to be an impossible task. If you HAVE photos you’d like to share, please send them to me either printed copies or on photo CDs (which I’ll have printed). I’ll get it to the right person. Thanks! Take some pictures from your driver’s seat while you’re at it.

Autocross #4 by Marty Lumpkin, Car Number 944
W
elcome to the middle of the autocross season! I enjoyed the short track at Pennington Field as this was my first at that venue. As with all of my stories there are some do's and don'ts I have to share with the class. 1.If your autocross is on Sunday don't drive to San Antonio and ride a motorcycle home in 103 degree heat. That wind chill thing is a myth. 2. Sunblock is not just for kids 3. Sunburn still hurts just as bad as when I was a kid . . . Class dismissed.
Jeff Atkins is “heads” above the rest of the crowded Class 5 drivers.

Covering the last Autocross, let’s see . . . it reminded me of playing pool on a small bar table vs. the standard table, it's still the same game, but the angles are just sharper. I enjoyed it as you really had to turn the car with the throttle a lot more than I thought. So, from a learning standpoint very high marks, a must do for the newcomers! My nemesis had a swaybar mount go south on him (could have been north I'm not sure of the bar’s current location ?) so he was forced kicking and screaming (or giggling and laughing) to drive Mark and Lisa's 944 S2 race car, We have the best people in our club. You never see Tony Stewart's team say, “Hey, Jeff 's cars broke. Let him use one of ours.” I thank all of you who let other members use their cars to stay competing. It shows what a noble bunch we are. That’s why I enjoy every minute of our time together. Thanks for the great Autocross. See you in August in whatever I am driving!

The other day while driving home I slipped next to Boxster S (not Jan's "S" but another "S") at the stop light. The "S" left and so did I. As the "S" pulled out of sight in front of me I reached red line grabbed the next gear with authority giving it all she had only to have the town and country mini van full of kids slip by on the right. I'd like to tell you this was a joke, but it's not. Then a voice from my past came back into my head, Captain James T. Kirk yelling to Scotty, "I NEED MORE POWER!" and lo and behold in the garage there's more power, but less control. I can only have one Porsche due to budget constraints, so keeping both is not a option. I am sure the power issue on the street has never affected a 914 driver. They just wish for 3.2 transplants. So, there is no telling what I will be coming to the next autocross with. Bryan Bell was kind enough to tell me if I keep the turbo plan to (how did he put that?) rebuild it! The bad part is that he is correct. Lucky for me engines do not scare me. So I'll be chewing on this until I see all of you again.

I have entered the midseason with a problem of sorts I own two 944s the S and a turbo. If the only thing I did with my Porsche was race autocross this would be a no brainer . . . the "S" wins hands down, however.

My First Year by Clint C. Blackman III
At that first meeting we were encouraged to come to a “DE.” One of the reasons I bought my car was to learn to drive more proficiently. So, I signed up for the October, 2005 Driver Education school. I borrowed my brother's old motorcycle helmet, my dealer loaned me some cool car numbers and I showed up at MotorSport Ranch. I can now admit that as I drove up I thought I made a terrible mistake! I saw hundreds of “race cars,” everyone was in racing suits, and the air was full of racing fuel and revving engines. I timidly parked and walked up to the registration building. Fortunately, friendly faces greeted me and I found out that I really had come to the right place. MotorSport Ranch is a safe, “open road” course. As a “greenie” you receive extensive classroom training with up to forty other “greenies” who all look “big eyed” about the experience. The class lecture really steadied our “butterflies” as we learned that performance driving is all about looking ahead and understanding what cars “do and won't do.” Suddenly, two hours were gone and we were told to drive up to meet our instructors. In the “pits” I met Bryan Bell, my first instructor. Bryan had a big smile and lots of confidence. Your instructor drives your car the first four laps to get you acquainted with the course. For me, the first lap was, “Wow, Bryan, I didn't know my car would go that fast”….Bryan said, “No…that was the warm up lap.” The second lap was a “Wow, that was FAST;” the third lap was “WOW, THAT'S FAST” and the fourth lap left me SPEECHLESS… Maybe I exaggerate a little too much, but I was impressed with what my car could do. I learned volumes about the skill of driving that weekend. Bryan was a great instructor and we had a blast. I made a great friend that first weekend. The Maverick instructors teach you about “driving safe” versus “driving fast.” Safety is their “Job One” hallmark. My first DE was everything I had hoped for.

his month marks my first year as a Maverick member and I wanted to write to say, “Thanks!” to all of my new Maverick PCA friends and encourage those of you who have never participated in a PCA event to come out and join us! I have NEVER had so much fun in a car club. I bought a 2005 Boxster last June. At the very first “new member” meeting, Dennis Chamberlain and Lanean Hughes made my wife and me feel like old friends. Having been in other car clubs, I have to say that I was most surprised by the organization of the Maverick club. You have so many opportunities to do so many interesting things with your Porsche.
Clint with his lovely wife, Judy We really enjoyed the “Founders’ Day” celebration party. Who says a bunch of “gear heads” don't have tuxedos! It was the best “formal” car club party I have ever attended. Next, we enjoyed the East Texas Autumn Trails Tour. The route was very fun to drive and we learned what “spirited” driving means. I sure was glad I took a DE before that tour. We had lots of fun with the radios and meeting a whole new group of Maverick members. My second DE was more challenging. It rained in “sheets” that Saturday and I learned the difference in driving a “wet line” versus the “dry line.” Sunday was sunny and my instructor, Colin Graidage really improved my “smoothness” (in proper King's English). Colin is from England and an experienced club racer. Rotating among instructors you get a wonderful blend of instruction. I was promoted from Green to Blue as I became more confident about driving the MSR road course. The leadership of the club is good about encouraging you to try out other types of driving events. I drove my first Autocross last March and it was another educational experience. Driving around cones at Texas Motor Speedway was a totally different type of driving experience. For those who have never tried it, an Autocross is a short, low speed, driving course made up of orange cones arranged in a twisting system of tight turns. Again, Maverick instructors help you learn how to turn your car smoothly and quickly. Autocross courses are never the same and are sprint-like timed events. A Time Trial is similar to an autocross, but a little different. Maverick time trials are typically held out at Mineral Wells, on an old Army helicopter base. The course is the same each time and it has longer straight-a-ways, which yield higher speeds. Again, Maverick instructors give you excellent instruction on how to safely learn how to drive this special, timed event. My first time trial was April 22nd and I must admit I made a good “middle of the pack” showing. I want to say “Thanks” to all of the Maverick officers, “event meisters” and instructors who have made my first club year so special. The e-mail “list serve” has kindly answered my “new guy” questions and suggested some great books. Thanks to all of you…I'm hooked. For those of you who are still waiting to come out and try something with the club….come on out….I sure have had lots of fun and I think you will too. You'll find me at the next event….I'm the guy with the grin in Boxster No: 108.

Father’s Day Picnic by Michele Mayo Davis and Ed Mayo
W
ow! This year's Father's Day Picnic was hot and humid. Thank Heavens our hosts, Dan and Linda Ruehs, were prepared. There was plenty of shaded tables and a nice swimming pool to cool
914 contingent. Dan Ruehs got the short distance award by rolling his 356 race car out of his garage and one person took it all way too seriously; John Strakle with his factory 930 slope nose. He was actually polishing stuff. Representing the water cooled crowd was a 928 of new members whose names I have forgotten and for which I apologize. Joel (Mr. Sprinkles) Nannis was directing the parking, which may explain why the 928 had the premo spot! The People's Choice competition was won by the orange 1971 911 coupe of Mike and Michele DeJong (well, actually it's Michele's).
off in.
I usually take the kids to meet Dad and Jan at the picnic, but since this year's date was on Sunday Kevin got to tag along.We even thought we might take that sleek brown car out of the garage and for a spin. There was a vote and all 6 of us voted for the air conditioned Yukon XL. It worked out fine since Dad was also leaving Slime at home and bringing a customer’s car that he said he would help sell.
Dan's shop kept drawing the men like flies to honey. He has a small collection of vintage cars including a Pontiac Firebird and Camaro race car. His shop is what most guys (like my Kevin) dream of having in their backyards.
When we arrived at the Ruehs' place Dad was doing his usual - talking Porsche. This gave us a few minutes to take the annual Father's Day picture. Dan & Linda's front porch made a beautiful backdrop.
Thanks to Dan & Linda for opening up their home, pool, & shop for all of us to hang around on a hot Father's Day afternoon. Between the Ruehs' and the Casey's the Maverick Region is blessed for many more Father's Day Picnics.

Happy Hour at Go Fish
The rest of our people were not deterred. It was a good, solid, boisterous, semi-controllable, partially coherent, happy crowd of about forty-five, and virtually everyone stayed for dinner. There was this one table (you know who you are) that was a real bunch of deliriously happy campers. We had new members. We had old members. We had old members attending their first Happy Hour. We had regulars. Everyone comes to the Happy Hours at Go Fish. Did I mention how outstanding the food was? It's interesting that the most expensive place on our happy hour tour draws our largest crowds. Once a year is not enough for this place! For our August 18 Happy Hour, we're heading to a new place - Mac's Steaks & Seafood on Highway 121 in Colleyville. Hope to see you there!

was concerned about what kind of turnout we would have for the June 15 Happy Hour, because we had some competition from the Mavericks - the Dallas Mavericks, that is. It was the fourth game of the NBA finals. Too bad the Mavericks weren't much competition for the Miami Heat that night. The restaurant had an abundance of flat panel screens mounted on the walls with the Maverick game prominently displayed. At first, this seemed terrific. But by the middle of the second quarterâ&#x20AC;Ś. well, had it not been for the fabulous food, I would have lost my appetite.

All it does now is basically sit in the garage since I have too many cars. It deserves to be driven more. Chris Joe cmjesquire@yahoo.com 972.419.9104 office or 214.207.0873 cell (3)
Welcome, New Members! You have just joined one of the best and most active PCA Regions in the country! Some clubs focus solely on social events, while others focus on just show and shine concours events. Maverick Region is a club that focuses on providing our members with the tools necessary to have the ultimate in driving experiences. You will notice that our region has many Time Trials, Autocrosses, and Drivers’ Education (DE) events (in addition to a yearly Club Race). This has been the spirit of the region for quite some time. We have some of the finest instructors in the country. Make sure you take full advantage of the driving experiences we have to offer. Racing is not ALL we focus on, though. If racing doesn’t suit you, we have monthly happy hours, three monthly lunch gatherings, regular dinner socials, frequent driving tours on some fabulous roads in and around Texas, driving rallies (fun for the whole family), and regular opportunities to support our perpetual charity, the Hope Shelter. If we don’t have what you’re looking for, just ask us... we might just add something extra to the calendar. Please also feel free to share article ideas (and submissions) to editor@mavpca.org. We’d love to hear from you!
