Shifting Gears: Activities During Summer Hiatus By Jim Falgout, Region President
A
ugust is normally the hottest part of the summer in North Texas. However, the way the spring and early part of the summer has gone, who knows? At any rate, the Maverick Region typically has fewer events in July and August, and this summer is no different. However, we do have another Photo Workshop on Saturday, August 15. That is a good indoor activity. Also, we have our social events: lunches and an after-hour event. This year, since we have partnered with Equipe Rapide, we do have an autocross at Lone Star Park on Sunday, August 16. Hope it is not too hot for that one. As I mentioned last month, PCA had its biggest annual event in the last week of June, Parade. You will find information about it in this issue. It is a great event that everyone should go to at least once. Another event, which I was able to attend last year, is the Werks Reunion. It is held in August in Monterey, California, during “Car Week.” This year it is on Friday, August 14. That is tremendous time to be in Monterey. The Historic Races (aka Rolex Monterey Motosports Reunion) are held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca that same weekend. There is a really nice Concours in Carmel. There are auctions by RM Auctions, Russo Steele, Mecum and Gooding. Of course, that is also the time of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. So if you can go to the Werks Reunion, you can do a lot of car events. This year the Werks Reunion is celebrating 40 years of the 911 Turbo. (This year is also the 60th anniversary of PCA.)
A special congratulations to Al Zim who celebrated his 50th anniversary as a PCA member in July.

Mav of the Month Any of you who have participated in a Sunday or Saturday Drive know what a great job our Tours Committee is doing. The current leadership in that committee had a good example to follow and they have improved on it. Again, this was a case of some folks stepping up to make sure an activity they enjoyed would continue and be enjoyed by many. For the tremendous job he has done leading this activity to greater heights, our Mav of the Month is Tom Martin. Thanks Tom, keep up the good work.

Around the Bend... By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
O
ur PCA motto, “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people” had me reflect on our current region membership and the state of auto enthusiasts in general.
It’s easy to generalize which cars and people are most welcome in these and any similar gatherings. Yet, once I start a conversation with enthusiasts at Keller’s, MSR, or virtually any vehicular event, I almost always quickly realize how much all of us have in common.
For example, when I cruise over to Keller’s on Northwest Highway during any Saturday night, I don’t drive my Porsche, nor do I remember seeing any vehicles of the Porsche persuasion parked anywhere in the rear lot.
It turns out that we are all in love with, know as much as we can about, and fret about that odd noise or stray piece of dust invading our rides.
When my old, big-cammed Mustang with the requisite narrow front and wide drag rear tires rumbles into the lot, heads turn and nod and I’m greeted with approving smiles. Would I receive the same welcome if I drove my 981S and took a prime parking spot?
My bottom line is whether you are a car show (concours) aficionado, a wrencher who knows every oil pump replacement option since 1948, a racer who lives for the next apex, or simply someone who enjoys the drive in a Porsche, this club and our members all appreciate the variety and enthusiasm brought to our group by each of us.
Similarly, when I participate in an SCCA Track Night in America event or an Equipe Rapide autocross, my Porsche (and by association, me) receive appreciative glances from other participants and a welcome conversation about mid-engine handling traits.
So, in this heat of August, make a point to go outside your comfort zone of auto enthusiasts you talk with and try to gain a greater appreciation of their viewpoint of what makes our club not just about the cars, but about the people.
Would my odd-tired, under-braked, and visibly shaking Mustang receive unbelieving stares and “I hope he never gets close to me” mumbles when I park on the grid?
Who can say that a concours trophy or an autocross trophy is more valuable? The club enthusiasts who worked hard to earn either trophy, and by association, all of us, are the real winners in this all-consuming hobby we love.
And yet, when I attend a Cars & Coffee type of event with either ride, I’m greeted with open arms (and ears) by at least one side or other of the parking lot. However, there are pretty clear lines of division as to which cars are welcome to park in certain locations of the lot.
Challenge yourself to check out our full slate of upcoming events and participate in one that you have not tried before. I guarantee that you will meet lots of interesting people.

Cooper Center Concours: Autos in the Park 2015 By Andy Kay, Region Concours Chair
O
n Sunday, June 7, hundreds turned out for the 10th Annual Autos in the Park Concours d’Elegance at The Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. This is Jack Griffin’s charity event benefiting Texas Scottish Rite Hospital and The Cooper Institute.
The Maverick Region area was once again in a prime spot If you have not attended this annual event and have an appreciation for fine automobiles, be they American or European, you owe it to yourself to see it next year. There is no charge for spectators, and you will be amazed at the quality and range of cars that are right here in the DFW area.

Southwest, Jaguar, Pontiac, Porsche, Rolls Royce, and Shelby. PCA’s Maverick Region had the largest turnout with 53 registered cars on display. The overall awards were divided into pre- and post-1980 cars from four classes: American, British, German, and Italian. Maverick members winning the German class were Bob Aines with his 1969 911E and David Bradley with his 911 GT2. The Maverick Region had our own Concours-within-a-Concours. Alan Bambina judged the eight classes, with the following results.

“. . . it’s the people”: Charlie Davis As told to Linda Bambina
C
harlie has been an active Maverick member for a bit less than 50 of the region’s 53 years. He epitomizes the idea of a Maverick (individualist; rebel; nonconformist) more than most, and he certainly personifies the concept of active more than most. As an engineer/ “frustrated physicist”, risk-taker, major geek, inventor, photographer, out-of-the-box thinker, envelope pusher, and agent of change, he has been infusing these personality traits, plus his talents, interests, and enthusiasm into our club for five decades. And all the while he encouraged others to try new ideas of their own for more unique activities than you would believe, all in an effort to keep interest high and needs met as our club has continued to go, go and grow! In 1972, Charlie organized a 2 1/2-day tour to Eureka Springs, AR and continued to be involved for many years. One of the stops was “The Tree” on Magazine Mountain. “There were many ‘traditional’ elements of this tour, and one was throwing Frisbees off the escarpment into the trees below. We never lost any member when doing this. The tree was removed for safety reasons when the Lodge was rebuilt.”
“The Tree” - as yet another stunning composition in Charlie’s portfolio.
One of our newest members, Valerie Fitzau, had only visited with him a little bit at the All Member Party several years ago, but had this incredibly astute observation: “In Porsche model years, Charlie is a classic.” When the club was just getting started, Charlie stepped up as Region President twice, VP twice, and Secretary once (not his thing!). He joined the National level PCR (Parade Competition Rules) Committee for an amazing 12 years, chairing it four times. He created his legendary “Charlie’s Charts,” which was a computer-onpaper-set of formulas to determine class placement at driving events. He moved from that National Position into being the Representative for Zone 5 for four more 8 August
Photos by Charlie Davis and Linda Bambina years, overlapping our region’s first DFW Parade in Texas. Charlie had long been a strong advocate in the 80s of computerized Parade registration and scoring of the competitive events. At the 1987 DFW Parade he was very involved with the first implementation of his “heavy use of computer ideas put into action.” With his creative wife Teri as the Parade Chair (the first female to do so), the two of them made history. (Oh, the stories about that effort!) Charlie went on to create and participate in the National Club Computer Systems Committee in 1988, as well as to join the Parade Advisory Committee (’88-’91). His insight, influence, and vision for the club at the national level earned him the highest respect and he was named the first recipient of the Hank Malter National Zone Rep Award. This award is “presented by the Zone Representa- Charlie captured by Linda in his traditional pose at tives to individuals within Porsche Club of America the 2015 Parade. who, in the opinion of the thirteen Zone Representatives, have distinguished themselves by making outstanding contributions to the club. The PCA Zone Representatives Award is made solely at the discretion of the Zone Representatives. This unique award may or may not be given annually.” Let me squeeze in here and relate that Charlie was also the first recipient (in 1976) of Maverick’s highest “Enthusiast of the Year” honor, the Selcer Memorial Award. He and wife Teri won it again in 1981. In 1998, Charlie organized the 914 Special Interest Group and ran it for 8 years. For the 2004 Parade, Charlie put on one of the best Autocrosses ever, with a LOT of help from his friends. Charlie continues to be a major force in Maverick Region as a promoter of photography for Slipstream. His photography of Maverick Region events began long before he met Teri, but it continued as a way to help Teri when she was Slipstream Editor for five years (not unlike how Leonard Turner and Betty Jo Turner of Porsche Panorama worked as a husband-wife team.)
He was also The Man who took the incredible 50th Anniversary Poster Picture of our “50 Family” Porsches at Texas Motor Speedway, thank you very much! Now he is involved with teaching digital photography sessions for club members, creating contests, and encouraging casual photographers to submit their work to a special folder on the webpage (his idea); the goal is to make them less casual. He also submits photos for many of our Slipstream articles. He even has one Porsche Panorama cover to his credit. Charlie loves to tell stories, with or without his photography as an enhancement. Go to www.1derful.info to see how clever he is capturing the light. Click on the “Pix” link and watch the slide show of his “50-year collection” of friends, flowers, old buildings, old Porsches, and old faces (use the QR code below). A gallery of his 2015 Parade photos is also available for viewing at: http://www.1derful.photography/ Parade%202015/index.html Charlie is offering a photo workshop for our members who would like to learn some of his “tricks of the trade” and improve their own photography skills.

Destination Restoration: Breathing Life into a 944 By Ash Seidl-Staley
R
ecently my 914 has dominated the subject matter of the articles I have contributed to our prestigious Slipstream, and frankly my 944 is getting a little bit jealous. In all actuality, she has no need to be this jealous, since behind the scenes of this column I have been pulling double duty, tinkering away on both cars at the same time, with nearly the same amount of dedication. Throughout this past year I cleaned and reassembled the entire top half of the 944’s engine while I was waiting for the 914’s new parts to arrive, and while its older parts soaked in cleaning solutions or were drying from re-sprays. I have accomplished so many tasks that I was able to finish both cars and get them ready for the open road before this summer’s Texas-sized heater kicked on. And, like I highlighted the transformation of my 914, it is only fair that the 944 have her debut on the public stage as well. So without further ado I give you my 2.5L 1987 944, reborn!
The Reborn 944 Now if you remember the horror stories I have told about my 944 these last 3 years, you can surmise that it took a heck of a lot of work to get it roaring back to life; for those who don’t know let me give you a synopsis. Way back when (2012) my timing belt snapped while I was driving to school. This caused all but one of the valves within the cylinder head to bend. I took the car to a small shop, which fixed the valves and belt for a reasonable price, despite the months it actually took them to complete it. It was only after about a week of having the car back that the balance shaft belt and the timing belt both decided
12 August
Photos by the Author to snap. This subsequently damaged my valves again, though thankfully this time it was only two of them. This is the point in the story where I decided to stop spending the money at a shop, and instead opted to do the mechanical work myself. Truth be told, I was so furious at the situation that I put the project on the back burner and let the car reflect on its behavior for nearly six months. It wasn’t until the summer of 2014 that I started to clean and work under the hood again. Picking up where I had left off the prior year, I removed the damaged cylinder head and had the valves redone at a machine shop. In addition to the valve work I opted to have the entire cylinder head resurfaced. The resurfacing was much needed because the compression numbers for each cylinder 1-4 (~120, ~145, ~150, and ~110 respectively) indicated that the cylinder head might be warped. After some measurements, the machine shop determined that the head was indeed warped and that, thankfully, there was enough “meat “on it for it to be a candidate for resurfacing. After shelling out 120 bucks and waiting three days, I was given a shiny resurfaced head. With all my parts in hand, I started putting everything that I had taken off of the car back together. The first roadblock in the build came about when I discovered that two of my belt tensioners were out of whack. This was something that was missed by the shop to which I took the car the first time! These faulty tensioners were wobbling and not spinning as freely as they should; their sporadic move- Getting back together ment likely caused the belts to miss and snap. After replacing the tensioners and putting on the new belts, I had to get the timing belt tensioned properly. Again I chose to attempt the procedure myself. I used the 90-degree trick of bending
the belt to guesstimate what the proper tension should be. Being too much of a chicken, and a little frustrated from the belts previously snapping, I pushed the car on down the road to an import shop and had the mechanic there double check my work. With his green light I brought the car back home to finish putting everything together. The cylinder head gasket, cam housing gasket, cam housing, intake, vacuum lines, and fuel rail all went back on without issue. With adrenaline-fueled excitement I attempted to start the car but was only met with shudders and coughs. What did I miss? Was it not in alignment? Was there something else wrong with the car? My mind raced with possible suspects. I methodically went down the list of possibilities one by one. The fuel pump made its famous buzz when the key was turned, so, theoretically I was getting fuel from the tank to front of car. The starter could be heard kicking things into motion. The car turned over and over, but it just would not fire. I checked battery, spark plugs, wires, and the ignition coil to see if I hooked everything up right. Everything checked out ok, so I opted to pull the distributor cap. Lo and behold the rotor of the distributer was missing the screw that holds it in place. This meant that the car had no idea when and where to send the spark. After locating the screw and attaching the arm, I replaced the cap and sat down in the driver’s seat ready for the second attempt. I closed my eyes, turned the key and . . . VAROOOOM!! I immediately got out and danced the happy dance around my apartment complex shouting “She’s Alive!” my neighbors probably thought I was crazy, but I didn’t care -- I had done it. Getting this 944 running was one thing, but getting it ready for Texas State inspection was quite an ordeal; one that deserves its own article. Stay tuned for the next installment, which will cover the 944’s inspection and what you will need to know when it comes to your Porsche and the new One Sticker system. As always, stay safe and wrench on Mavs!

“Little Ranch on the Prairie”: The Rancho Sereno Run By The Alleged
M
averick Region VP Gareth Maurice sent out a short e-mail blast a while back informing us that FM 455, north of the Metroplex urban sprawl, was currently being repaved. This particular road is well known by sports car enthusiasts, along with avid motorcyclists and bicyclists, as a primo example of “the twisties” in North Texas. Voy “Mitch” Mitchell lives out that way, and offered to keep me abreast of the paving process. Within a few months, a 30-mile stretch from Van Alstyne to Pilot Point was finished, so Jon Glover and I met up with Mitch for a “recon” drive, one of the preludes to a Maverick Sunday Drive.
Photos by Bill Orr agreeable towards allowing the PCA to enlist his ranch as a final destination point; thus the wheels were set in motion for a spring drive. Catering arrangements were made with Rohmer’s of Muenster, and after a few spirited pre-drives, we mapped out the route on our GPS units and were ready to go. Set a date, published all the info, printed up all the paperwork, and then eagerly awaited the drive date. Then the Lord reached out to Noah and commanded him to build an ark. It was to be 300 cubits by 50 cubits by 30 cubits. Noah lived in Plano at the time. And we all know what happened next. A massive rainfall washed away our plans in one fell swoop. I have never seen that much water since the Flood of ’55, when the Naugatuck River flooded the Naugatuck Valley region of central Connecticut. The drive was rescheduled for three weeks out. Surely that would allow enough time for the water to subside, right? On the day of the drive, the weather report looked good and there were no published road closures, so 56 Porsches departed from the Grayson Community College campus in Van Alstyne.
Recon drives are huge fun, because with just a few fast Porsches on the route, you can really . . . umm . . . trust me on this -- it’s huge fun. So I elected to use this stretch as the start of a Saturday Drive to Rancho Sereno in Whitesboro. The final leg of the route was gleaned from a previous Sunday Drive. It was a clean, fast route with minimal to no traffic and relatively miniscule population. Neill Flood and I met with Mike Maberry, the owner of the ranch, back in February. The locale and grounds are indeed “sereno,” and Mike is arguably the finest gentleman I have ever met. Mike was 14 August
Then came the best part -- the twisties. A myriad of varied corners: never ending sweepers, ess bends, kinks, undulating turns over slight elevation changes, all over excellent tarmac. And with no sign of Noah and his ark. With just over 10 miles of the 100mile route to go, the drive groups ran into a slight snag. A full-blown road closure. Yep, completely shut down. One could only surmise that flood water was the reason, but regardless, all of the group leaders and their herds worked together to determine an alternate route to the final destination. I was impressed, to say the least.
Ultimately all the hardy Mavericks rolled onto the manicured grounds of Rancho Sereno, greeted by our host Mike Maberry and the catering crew of Rohmer’s Restaurant. We all enjoyed a Texas BBQ lunch, complete with peach cobbler, iced tea and the camaraderie of fellow Mavericks. Mavericks ate, communed, relaxed and enjoyed some great photo ops of their Porsches amidst the bucolic vistas of the ranch. Good stuff. There was plenty of food left over, and it was promptly donated to the Sacred Heart Outreach in Muenster, where it will be enjoyed by families in need.
Our Sunday Drive “Masters” with our Rancho Sereno host Sincerest thanks to Mike and Lisa Maberry of Rancho Sereno, Troy Sicking of Rohmer’s Restaurant & Catering, Tracy Robertson for handling the Punchbowl evites and payments, Voy Mitchell for the recon, all the drive group leaders: Neill Flood, Jon Glover and Chris Sorrells, plus Gabe Sorrells and my wife Jan for taking care of the sign ups, and to all the Mavericks who participated in the drive and made this event a success. See you all in East Texas in September at the next Sunday Drive! View more photos from Bill Orr and Neill Flood at http://bit.ly/mavphoto2

The 60th Porsche Parade: Mavericks Stand Out in French Lick By Carey Spreen
W
hen it was announced at the 2013 Parade that the 60th Parade was to be held in French Lick, Indiana, many of us scratched our heads in puzzlement. Where the heck is French Lick, and what possessed the Parade Committee to choose that location for PCA’s annual convention, especially on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the club? We need not have worried. French Lick turned out to be a superb location for a couple thousand of our closest Porsche friends to gather for a week of competition and socializing. Granted, when I arrived in town the day before the Parade began, the football field at the local high school was under a couple of feet of water, and there was a brand new lake in front of the West Baden Resort, as Tropical Storm Bill had just passed through, capping off several days of the deluge that North Texas was suffering through at the same time. But the staff at the French Lick Resort and West Baden Resort (the two Parade headquarter hotels) accommodated the storms without missing a beat, moving The Onsite Porsche Museum several events that were originally planned to be outdoors to indoor, or at least covered, venues. For instance, the Welcome Party, usually held outdoors on the evening of the first day, was moved to the ground level of the resort parking garage. Surprisingly, that same location was where part of the Concours d’Elegance was held the very next morning. The “60 4 60” display, a showing of one Porsche for each year that the club has been around (beginning The Historic Display included the with a 1955 Le Mans winning 911 GT1 Speedster), was 16 August
Photos by Linda Bambina and Carey Spreen moved into a large tennis enclosure, which was fortunately airconditioned, and was a relief from the humidity outside. Maverick Region member Don Breithaupt had the honor of representing 1986 with his beautifully-maintained black 3.2 Carrera. The rain moved out The 1986 “60 4 60” 3.2 of the area as the week Carrera of Don Breithaupt progressed, and the grounds started to dry up. In fact, there was no more precipitation for the other outdoor competitive events: the TSD Rally and the Autocross. The TSD Rally took place on some very scenic, very twisty, and very narrow two-lane roads in the area, and was designed for novices, although it gave the experts a run for their money as well. Amazingly there were no protests, which is unheard of in a Parade TSD Rally. The Autocross ran over a twoday period at the French Lick Airport, up and down the runway in a series of slaloms and chicanes. It looked deceptively The weather was perfect for simple, but there the actual Porsche Parade were many DNFs as participants figured out which way the course went. There was a big delay the first morning, when a corporate jet needed to land, so the course workers removed all of the cones from the runway and then replaced them once the plane had taxied to its location. The morning of the second Autocross day, the skies looked very dark and angry, but the clouds moved on without spilling a drop, so everyone Groups of Mavericks could got dry pavement for be found everywhere their four runs.
