The Inside Track by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President f you missed the Founder's Day Celebration, you missed quite a party! The guest speaker was excellent, the food outstanding, awards plentiful, and raffle prizes seemingly endless. Tracey and Ed Gross, Jan Mayo and Wendy Shoffit did a fantastic job of planning and executing the event.
sound management focused issues. Needless to say, the motorheads in the audience ate it up. Even the people who don't know a 914 from a GT3, seemed to enjoy his engaging manner. Peter had his book, The Driving Force, available for purchase, with a personalized signature. As icing on the cake, he then generously donated the proceeds to Hope Shelter.
Linda Bambina and Charlie Davis teamed up to provide great photographs for everyone as they entered the ballroom area. Gone are the days of a quick Polaroid snapshot. They were set up with first class digital equipment. Charlie even provided a Maverick logo background for the shots. If only I could have talked them into the Vaseline on the lens trick for my half of the picture.
The awards kicked off with Wendy Shoffit being honored as the deserving recipient of the Richard F. Selcer award. In addition to the usual AX/TT award, there were awards for the Club Racers, Rally and Tour participants as well. Not to be forgotten, a lucky DE participant and a DE instructor were given a complementary entry to a 2006 DE and a gift certificate.
The evening opened with a well organized casino. Blackjack, craps, roulette, slots, Texas Hold â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em, we had it all. Never in the real world have I had a stack of chips last so long. As an added bonus, the proceeds went to help the building fund at Hope Shelter.
The raffle was a huge success, with the great prizes primarily donated by our generous sponsors, many whom were in attendance. Lanean Hughes outdid herself with the prizes. In fact, Leslie Black, Tracy Gross, Jan Mayo, Wendy Shoffit and Annette Snodgrass had an assembly line set up for the drawing of tickets and delivery of prizes.

In a tradition that's becoming as well established as Founder's Day itself, Erika Nannis gave a heartwarming invocation. She always seems to come up with something that helps you realize what's truly important in life. Lori Mauthe and Keith Olcha introduced our guest speaker. Keith provided a Porsche fact-filled capsule of the 80's and Lori shared insights of her father as only a daughter can. Our speaker, Peter Schutz, was the CEO of Porsche A. G. from 1981 to 1987. His talk combined interesting Porsche related facts with
The election of officers was a combination of something old and something new. I'm still President, Mark, Vice President, Jeff, Treasurer and Jan Mayo is the new Secretary. The decision was made to postpone the voting on the proposed Bylaws Amendments. Everyone I talked with seemed to have had a great time, but we missed you, if you weren't there. Not being a group to rest on our laurels, we look forward to seeing you at the holiday party at the Lewis', on December 10th. Hope to see you there!

Maverick Minutes by Michael Wingfield he November 2005 Maverick Region Board meeting was held at Hackberry Creek Country Club on November 1, 2005. The meeting had the following 17 members in attendance: Executive Council: Rocky Johnson, Mark Gluck, Jeff Atkins, Michael Wingfield; Board Members: Bill Miller, Wendy Shoffit, Lanean Hughes, Ed Gross, Bill Dawson, Joe McGlohen, Charlie Davis, Teri Davis, Joel Nannis, Dennis Chamberlain, Chuck Machala; Other Members: Jan Mayo and Marie Wingfield.
ribs, chicken breast, and possibly venison. Will get plates and plastic eating utensils, garbage cans and bags, along with beverages (beer & wine) for the party.
Rocky called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM, and began the ‘round table discussion. Bill Miller: Founder’s Day awards ordered. Sold the FRS radios.
Teri Davis: Added rally dates to the event calendar, and would like to make the rally program a “series” with a year-end award. Most rallies planned for 2006 are Gimmick type events, but may have a TSD (time speed distance) rally before Parade.
Wendy Shoffit: Presented the 2006 events calendar prepared by Bill Miller. Board members added and moved events to fill out the calendar. The completed/revised calendar will to go to Steve Boyd (webmaster) for posting on the web site. Slipstream ready today (11/1). Founder’s Day set and sponsors happy with their invitations. Sample program presented showing the schedule of events. Voting for club Officers and Bylaws revisions will be open until dinner.
Joel Nannis: We have members. He is the only region member who receives the membership list, which used to be available online to other region members. He can provide a member list in Excel format if necessary. Would like to offer a “no hard copy of Slipstream” option to the membership to save on publication costs. The option would allow members to opt out of receiving the magazine, which is available (in color) in electronic format on the web site.
Wendy Shoffit (as Mike Brodigan): Seven advertiser bills remain outstanding. Seven Internet advertisers signed up. Steve Boyd will build a sponsor page on the web site.
Dennis Chamberlain: Uses the membership list to send invitations to Happy Hour (HH) events to new members. New members receive a special notice invitation while members who joined within the last 10 months receive a notice of the HH. HH at Joe T’s had ~40 in attendance. November HH scheduled for 11/17 at Razzoo’s in Irving. December HH scheduled for 12/15 at Champps in Addison.
T
Lanean Hughes: Presented photos of Mike & Marie Stafford’s adventure participating in the final presentation of the 50th Anniversary 2006 911 Club Coupe at Road Atlanta. Hope Shelter Gift Delivery Holiday Party will be December 11, the day after the regional Holiday Party. Ed Gross: Over 70 RSVP’s for Founder’s Day to date. Joe McGlohen will provide food for the Holiday Party. Parking for Holiday Party will be at the nearby Tom Thumb, with permission granted by Tom Thumb. Wine Tasting scheduled for 2/2/06, see ad in December Slipstream. No progress this month on getting the Goodie Store online. Jeff Atkins: We have money. Distributed copies of the financial report through three quarters of 2005. We have approximately $90K in the bank, showing a $15K- $17K increase in surplus funds for this year over last year. Will present a baseline budget balance sheet in December to Committee Chairs to aid Chairs in preparing a 2006 budget. Bill Dawson: DE program has netted approximately $11K through September. Anticipates adding a fourth DE event in April 2006. Maverick Region will be the first club to hold an event on the new MSR 3.1 mile full course in 2006. Michael Wingfield: The October DE event generated approximately $19,500 in entrant fees, while falling just short of a sell out. Registration of 2006 DE events will be via an online application called www.clubregistration.net that will accept credit cards and PayPal. We will no longer use paper registration forms. Joe McGlohen: Menu for Holiday Party to include brisket, 8
Charlie Davis: Working on new AX/TT classes for 2006. Currently we have too many classes, and too many one-car classes at events. Plans to reduce the total number of classes (which will differ from the Parade classes) by making regular classes open to both male and female drivers. Planning a single female class that will be indexed for the different type cars. Criteria for Top Driver Award will also change.
Chuck Machala: Questions whether to schedule a Lady’s AX school in 2006 since the 2005 school had only five participants, and had difficulty in obtaining instructors. Possibly it should roll into one of the other events. Bill Miller proposes that all “First Timer” entrants into a school (AX/TT/Rally) get a free entry to increase interest and promote participation. This could possibly be extended to include regular AX/TT and Rally events as well. The AX/TT and Rally Chairs will discuss in committee. Mark Gluck: November events are insured. Rocky Johnson: Makes a motion to spend $900 for Founder’s Day awards. Mark Gluck seconds. Motion passes. Shares an email of thanks from a War Bonnet member who attended the October DE and had mechanical car troubles. Thanks to the efforts of several Maverick members, his car was repaired for the long drive home. Appointing a committee to investigate the use of online meetings as special meeting for conducting business. Proposal to have the Slipstream Editor receive free entry into region events will be discussed inside each event committee. Hackberry Creek Country Club will host the remaining 2005 Board Meetings. Attendees must RSVP for the meetings in order for the region to obtain the proper size room for the meeting. The next meeting will be Tuesday, 12/6. The November meeting adjourned at 9:24 PM.

From The Driver’s Seat by Wendy Shoffit, Slipstream Managing Editor
A
nother year is winding down. I hope you’ve had a great one filled with love, laughter, and tons of fun. If you’ve been active with the region, I’m sure you’ve had plenty of awesome events to choose from. I know I have! The funny thing to me is that, no matter how many events I attend, I still wish I could do more. For example, I went to all the autocrosses and time trials, but missed out on several of the DE’s and have yet to make it to a single tour! I know I’m missing out... I’ve been to a few lunches and a few happy hours, but I’ve sadly missed more than I’ve attended. I have regrets about not meeting our wonderful new members at these missed opportunities. But, I realize I am only human, trying to manage a household and raise a fantastic daughter. I also then realize that I HAVE been to a lot of events and have met someone new each and every time. I wouldn’t trade that for the world! I have hope that you new (and not so new) members out there won’t stop coming to the many different kinds of events we have to offer. Do you have to make every event? Well, of course not. BUT, what are you missing when you don’t try each kind (rally, autocross, time trial, DE, Club Race, tour, swap meet, tech session, concours, and socials)? The next thing you try might turn out to be your favorite. The next person you meet could become your next best friend. I know some of my best friends have come from the club... Get in the driver’s seat and see what you’ve been missing!

Burping a Boxster? Yep, we did it! By Carl Moore
L
ast fall we discovered Arkansas’s Little Snake and Big Snake roads. On this trip, we drove “THE MOTHER OF ALL SNAKES”! Thanks to the Maverick Region Tourmeister Andy Miller, the Big Cedar Lodge Tour was a great success!
keeping pace. How these Porsches can perform! Driving into Big Cedar Lodge is an experience everyone should have an opportunity to enjoy. It had a beautiful setting in the Ozarks, with two creeks you drive through just to arrive at the registration desk.
This was one of our longer trips (1,550 Miles). Seventeen cars left the DFW area on Thursday evening heading for Hope, Arkansas (Yep, home of Bill, but he wasn’t there) in order to leave early Friday morning to enjoy the great back roads and scenery of Arkansas’s Ozark mountains.
Dinner at the Devil’s Pool restaurant was great. Good food, good friends, a birthday celebration for Robert and Joey and an overall great time. Saturday bright and early we left for an exciting day of driving! Highlighted by a stunning trip on not only The Little and Big Snake roads, but also THE MOTHER OF ALL SNAKE roads, HWY 9 in Arkansas. There were only … “I can’t believe it’s” … when we gathered at the end of the Mother! I can’t recall a better day of driving, with all drivers doing what they were comfortable with. Arkansas sure has great roads.

Stopping at Allen’s groceteria we had a car with a battery warning light blinking. This is the third battery … then it must be the alternator. Buddy & Renee spent the afternoon trading in their car for a bright red Chevy rental. Their car will be trucked back to Dallas for repair. Sunday, early … a quick breakfast then a gathering in the upper parking lot. The tires on the red Chevy looked soft, so Andy got out his trusty Porsche tire pump and did his thing along with Buddy. Carol & Renee ended up driving as caboose and were sure burning up the road in their hot red Chevy. Reminded us of the movie Thelma & Louise, but with a happier ending.
The Snakes Friday morning at 8:00 AM, we are off and running. Oh yes, we did have a few delays along the way….
Fifteen minutes later, …“Why is the oil level gauge in the red?” Pete - you may need a topping off and we will check it at the first rest stop. As everyone headed out to experience the next couple of hours of great curves on Arkansas’s back roads, we topped up the oil and then played catch up. And did we keep going as planned? Well not exactly. Ten minutes later … “Why is all my coolant gone?” Hill & Lorie, your Boxster is only 3 inches off the road and that last little bump took off your bottom hose clamp and hose. Your coolant is all over Joey’s car.
Photo by Carl Moore
Thirty minutes out of the shoot, Ted Glover was looking for a snack.
Early Saturday morning at Big Cedar Lodge
This became an education on “burping” a coolant system and “limping” into Big Cedar Lodge. ‘Thanks, Joey for the spare hose clamp!’ Now, how do you bleed air out of a coolant system? You BURP it! Sure! Where is the Burping valve? Must be under the front right wheel. OK, the wheel comes off, the trunk lid is up, the engine compartment is open and six people are looking for the “burping” valve. “Hey, let’s call Boardwalk.” Sure enough, there it was all the time just under the coolant reservoir!
We stopped at Queen Wilhelmina Lodge for lunch, which is always great. Then for the home stretch with Andy leading the pack! Over the hill and … blink, blink, blink.
Most of us met at the Cliff House for lunch, except for Hill, Lorie and their crew of coolant burping assistants who limped on to Big Cedar Lodge, hoping to be there in time for dinner.
And oh-by-the way, aren’t the Porsche’s absolutely great? Only on trips like this can you realize the overall performance and capabilities of your prestigious car. What an awesome machine! What a great trip!
Friday afternoon showed exquisite, great roads with everyone
Be sure to sign up for next year’s tour. It’s always a fabulous time.
14
We realize a lot of work goes into preparing a trip like our Big Cedar Lodge Tour and we are grateful to Andy & Cindy Miller and their assistants, Ted and Bonnie Glover, for their efforts. It’s like a wedding; months of preparation, then it’s over - just like that! However, the memories will last forever.

Charity Autocross by Bob Trader
S
unday, October 9th was the date of this really fun event in the name of charity at the Texas Motor Speedway Bus Lot. The “Run What You Brung” Charity Autocross benefited the Hope Shelter, Maverick Region's perpetual charity. MRPCA is assisting in building a new 5,000 sq.ft. shelter. Money collected at this event went to help MRPCA accomplish this goal. They anticipate a finished shelter by December 2005! It was a beautiful day for both giving and racing. Thanks to the MRPCA, a whole bunch of us got to see what it was like to be gone in 60 seconds. The course was set up so that a good driver with the right car could finish a lap in about that amount of time. Most of us took a little longer. We all got to complete 4 laps back to back in the first session and then another 4 laps in the second session, yes that is a total of 8 laps to show everyone what our individual car could do. It was my first time to run one of Maverick’s events and, hopefully, not my last. By writing this little tidbit, I get a no-work event next time ........ yaaaaa baby. I had to run this event in my non-Porsche auto .... a beautiful 1990 Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. Only problem was I had to race every other Japanese car out there and that was a lot. There were 350Zs, Honda S2000's, Mazda RX8s just to name a few. Yes there was a lot of those other cars out there ...... but since I only have a Cayenne which my wife won't let me race, and not a 911 or Boxster, I really didn't concern myself with what the "Porsches" were doing .........Haaaaaaaaa!!!!! The weather was so nice, anyone who didn't come and support this event should be ashamed of themselves. The course was set up to have fun and not be as challenging as I'm sure other autocrosses might be. I know that I, for one, felt like I was flying, even if my times didn't show it. The members of the club who did all the work in bringing this event to us deserve a big round of cheer and a large pat on the back. Also to be thanked was the local Porsche dealer, Autobahn, who sponsored the event and provided enough cold water and t-shirts to satisfy a much larger turn out. Thankfully, the Texas heat left us alone this day and not much water was needed. Since pictures tell the story better then I can ...... just feast your eyes on these..

DE at MotorSport Ranch by Phil Hallenbeck
“It’s a whole new track out there!” The most-heard words at the MotorSport Ranch on October 22 and 23 had nothing to do with the Ranch’s ongoing construction of a new extension of the existing course, but with the fact that the Mavericks ran the course clockwise, making for a truly all-new experience for many. While many things remained the same—the great support of sponsor Park Place Porsche, the warm smile of Lanean Hughes, the superbly smooth track surface—the new direction made it all seem different. October 22 dawned bright and sunny, with only an early-morning chill to keep tires cold and speeds down—and that only for the first run or two. Every driver seemed to feel that “this is the perfect day at the track.” As temperatures warmed into the 70s by the afternoon, both speeds and spirits warmed wonderfully. College football, whose presence was announced by the Longhorns and Red Raiders on the clubhouse TV, seemed but a distant distraction compared to what was really important—the fellowship of speed, which is never better than when in the company of fellow Mavericks and their machines. Attendees at “Chaplain” Michael Wingfield’s 7:15 a.m prayer meeting found day two to be quite a different story, chilly and windy in the morning, chillier and windier later on.
“It’s in the 60s, but it feels like the 40s” was an oft-heard comment. Sunday truly made the drivers work for their speed, taking extra care to warm up the tires before pushing the speed. The special note for Sunday, though, is surely one of thanks to Joe McGlohen and the corner workers for enduring chilly winds hour after hour, but with always a friendly wave for a drivers and a laser-beam focus on safety. The Mavericks are proud to record yet another accident-free high-speed event, counting over 25 years without an injury—in many ways due to the untiring attention of these truest of volunteers. The weekend’s best video was not Saving Private Ryan, not the NFL games on TV, but CarCam footage of David Baker and his GT3 Cup at a Virginia International Raceway club race. David, great soul that he is, politely asked the dozen or so gearheads present in the MSR clubhouse if he could interrupt the NFL game to show his footage. Not a single word was raised in protest, so the previously raucous crowd watched silently in rapt attention to several laps of great racing in the rain, culminating in an unfortunate but truly spectacular spin which David fortunately endured without serious injury. Thanks to Park Place Porsche for their sponsorship of a truly wonderful weekend, to Bill Dawson and the DE team for organization and hospitality, and to the Ranch for hosting us!

TT #6 and AX #6 by Chuck Machala
Sunday morning was perfect: 60 degrees with not a cloud in the sky. The course walk took at least 45 minute for most people and along the optionals near the start, groups of people debated as to which was the quickest line. Before the start and throughout the morning sessions, many different possibilities were tried by various cars and various drivers and discussed at lunch time. This is one of my favorite things about the autocross. Given about 16 possible combinations and only 8 runs, you need to come up with a strategy to find the best line for you and your car and then execute your best run quickly. My car likes it when it’s cold and I knew that in the afternoon it would warm up. I wanted to try and get a good run done in the morning. Everyone who completes a run is a good source of information and I always try and talk to as many people as possible to get their inputs. Everybody was forthcoming on what they thought the best combination was through the optionals, where they could improve their time, and so on. After talking with Ed Mayo and several others after their runs, I had a pretty good idea how I wanted to use the morning runs.

T
he last autocross of the year was held at Mineral Wells on October 16. Since it was the last one in which I would be chairman, I wanted the course to be special. After bouncing a few ideas off Charlie Davis, I decided to go with a stack of optionals, one after another, so that the option you took on the first would feed in to the second, and so on. As usual, I wanted the course to be big and fast as well. In the end, the final design was a co-conspiracy of Charlie and myself.
Chuck Machala and Mark Steele going virtually head to head! The afternoon runs were critical and first place in class 6 was on the line. Mark Steele in his 944S2 was just a half second behind. I focused my afternoon runs on trying to get in the low 110’s by doing the pivot cone better. There’s was gravel that made a wide exit in the pivot cone a bad idea. In the first three runs I was not able to improve on the morning time but Mark cut my lead to only one one-hundreth of a second in the third run and then broke into the 110’s on his last lap. With only one remaining I gave it everything I had but couldn’t improve again. Mark ended up with top time and a tie for first place in class 6. The women were also battling it out for top time and first place in class 6. Shelly Burbank ended up with ladies’ top time and grabbed a share of first place class 6 (with Lisa Steele) for the season with an excellent time of 114.

I’d like to thank all the people who helped make my time as chairman a fun and rewarding experience. They are too many to be named. It’s a great group of people and I urge anyone who hasn’t tried it to come out next year. You’ll have fun. The schools will be in February and March and if you haven’t tried it and are a Maverick member, your first autocross, time trial, or school will be free.
Andrea Bell making her way through the gate. My first run I use to learn the course and I never worry about my time. I usually go 110% to determine how fast each element can be done. This time was no exception and I think I ended up with three hit cones and a 118 second run. Not bad considering the top time so far was in the 112 range. The second run was very good, but I ended up hitting a cone in the very tight section near the end. That was a 112.68 including a two second penalty for the cone. A 110 was definitely doable! My strategy for the third run is if I don’t have the class leading time or close to it I back off a little and just get a good time on the books. I ended up with a 111.23 which was good enough for top time so far. The last run I used for exploration and ran the optionals in a different manner. While I drove well, the line was not faster and I logged a 114 and change. 24
