My Thoughts by Jan Mayo, Managing Editor
Y
a know, it’s really dangerous to make a list of thanks or observances picking out specific people because you always run the risk of leaving someone out. That’s what I did in last month’s My Thoughts - I left some notable people off the list. But rather than mention a couple more names this month and having someone else come along with their feelings hurt I’ll just offer up my apology now to everyone else that has won the coveted Selcer Award. Many of the award winners over the years are still very active and that’s the whole meaning of the award. Thank you to all of you that have given and continue to give your heart, time, money and skills to
Maverick Region. Next month will have the recap of our Founder’s Day event where the Selcer was awarded to this years’ Heart of the Region. Stay Tuned.... Now that I’ve groveled a bit I’m going to ask for help. As I’ve noted before, Slipstream is now being edited on an easier to use and more obtainable publishing program. With this change various pieces can now be prepared elsewhere and forwarded to me to just “plunk in” into the issue. I’m looking for some folks with just a little bit of spare time that would be willing to commit to doing some of the repetitious pages like the New Members/Anniversary page or the Unclassified page (you’d get the first shot at those For Sale items). The Happy Hour page will probably undergo some changes as the chairs for the event evolve from Dennis Chamberlain to the Monda/Mike/Bill show. This page could also be done remotely. The autocross and time trial scores are in an excel spreadsheet on the Maverick Website. These have to be manipulated a bit to make them fit the page format. This is also something that could be done by someone else. Each one of these pages generally take 15 - 30 minutes of time which isn’t too traumatic - one at a time. However when one person (me) does it all that’s up to a couple of hours that can be saved with some outside help. Please consider it and contact me for more details. You’ll get your name prominently displayed on the front pages of Slipstream and you know I will love you forever ! ! ! What could be better?

Catch My Draft by James Shoffit, Region President ell our year is officially coming to a close. A quick review indicates all the activities we had – 6 autocrosses, 6 time trials, 5 drivers education events on race tracks, a club race, rallies, a rally school, tours to places all over Texas, a couple of concours, and happy hours ever month!

If you can’t find something fun to do with Maverick Region, you just can’t be trying very hard! One thing that came up recently on our mrpca email list on YahooGroups was whatever happened to our Membership Directory. It used to be published every spring or early summer. It used to contain every member’s name, address, home and work phone numbers, and what cars they had. Sounds great, right ? Some of you are already wincing – I can see you! And rightfully so. The world has changed a lot since those trusting days. How long can you go without receiving a Privacy Policy from investments, banks, doctors, etc? These things are single-handedly filling our landfills and taking recycling to whole new levels. That and credit card offers. But I digress.
The problem is that some people don’t WANT their information published, not even for fellow members to find them. Most of us want to use the directory for good – I have used it to find out which members live close to me; another member uses the directory to send holiday cards. Another one used it to invite neighbors to a 4th of July party. And often it is handy when you quickly want to call someone you saw at a recent event. But some people don’t use the information for good purposes. A mis-delivered membership directory could lead an abusive ex-spouse to the person trying to get away. Or could lead to stalking. And some people just don’t want to be found, for whatever reasons they have. You might think I am making these up, but I am not. We have always removed the membership directories before giving copies to advertisers and sponsors who may leave them out in their shops, but that is not enough. So until we get a clear direction on how to handle a membership directory, we are going to avoid heading in a direction that could cause legal problems later. In the meantime, if you do NOT want your information published in a directory, please send me an email at president@mavpca.org.

Maverick Minutes by Charlie Davis, Secretary Maverick Region Board Meeting on November 6, 2007. In attendance: James Shoffit, Wendy Shoffit, Charlie Davis, Teri Davis, Bryan Bell, Joel Nannis, Christy Dominick, Tracey Gross, Monda Hanna, Travis Howard, Robyn Howard, Lisa Steele, Jan Mayo, Bob Bianconi, Mark Gluck, Bob Kuykendall, and Denny Payne. James called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. Wendy announced that Clara Lewis is stepping down as Hope Shelter liaison. She has a list of recommendations for her successor, and also recommends that Wal-Mart gift cards be given instead of toys at this year’s Holiday Party. Wendy has been working to collect stuff for the silent auction at the upcoming Founders Day Banquet. After some discussion, Charlie announced that an AX/ TT Rules Committee meeting will be held this Thursday, November 8 at 7:00 PM, to be held at the Shoffit’s house. Teri said Rallies were done for the year. She plans to have a Rally School again in 2008. According to Joel, we have members. According to the National membership database, we have 1110 members, 883 associate members, for a total of 1941. Joel’s regional membership database shows 1323 members. Joel also announced that the Eagle’s Canyon DE already has 171 entrants. The green, blue, yellow, and red run groups are full. Only the white run group has a few openings. My notes get confusing at this point… something about Christy offering to braid Joel’s chest hair? Tracey told us that the date for the Holiday Party was wrong in the ad in Slipstream. The calendar lists it correctly. She announced that the New Member Party will be on January 27, 2008 at the Spreen’s neighborhood clubhouse. The hours will be 2 to 5. Monda reminded us about the Happy Hour at Daddy Jacks on November 15. She needs a list of the last four month’s new members. James said that Andy could get that for her. Travis admitted that the Time Trial schedule was not complete and asked Bryan for help. Robyn passed. Lisa said that not all advertisers have paid yet. Jan inquired as to whether there was a calendar committee? Bryan agreed to be the calendar “ramrod” and get info to James, who will distribute it. Mark will do ads as usual. Bob B said the weather was great at the recent Concours 8
d’Elegance. 26 cars were entered and we had a good turnout of observers. Mark said that we are insured. He asked that event chairs request insurance well in advance. Mark also requested chairpersons to check their supply of waiver forms (including the TWO different forms for Minors) and let him know what they need for next year, which he will bring to the next board meeting. Also that in an emergency, the forms can be printed from the PCA.org web site, but MUST be printed in color (the RED print has to be red).” Bob K said we have money. He distributed third quarter financial results, but pointed out that the Sept summary does not include revenues from Slipstream ads or recent DE profits. He announced that the October DE was both successful and profitable. The club also recently forwarded to the Hope Shelter over $2000 in donations raised during the DE lunch charity laps on the track. Denny remarked that he is not getting the trivia information anymore, thus it is not appearing on our website. He will get with Jerry DeFeo. Joel also mentioned that while he is getting Slipstream return information, Andy is not getting them. Jan agreed to send this information to both of them. James adjourned the meeting at 8:02 PM.

Fall 2007 Concours D’Elegance by Bob Bianconi
S
unday November 4th turned out to be the perfect day! If you’ll remember, the Cowboys whipped up on Philly 38-17, and Jason Witten ran for 21 yards without his helmet (helmet? I don’t need no stinkin’ helmet). Oh wait, this is supposed to be a Maverick Concours report. Well it WAS a perfect day; the Cowboys did win to top off a great Maverick Concours D’Elegance in the Village at Colleyville.
The setting was near perfect (there’s that word again) with a grassy venue nestled in among the European-style architecture. Folks began arriving around 9AM to put the finishing touches on their cars. There were free donuts and a local wine shop, Tivoli Wines, opened their doors especially for us for morning coffee. At 11AM, judging began for the Fall ’07 Concours. The roundup included two 356’s, three early 911’s, four SC’s and Carreras, one ’94 911 Speedster, five 996/997’s, five Boxsters, two Caymans and a Cayenne. Among the group were several Concours veterans but mostly there were new folks trying their hand at beating the competition.

to vote for their own favorite car and that honor went to Richard Cross’ red 356. Not to miss an opportunity to rag on our good-natured president; there is another bit of good news to report. Our esteemed president says that he doubled his point total from the last Concours! No… he didn’t win, but he does hold the new record for consecutive last place finishes. A notch above last place still eludes him despite the fact that he was observed furiously cleaning his wiper blades just before start time.
Two classes of early and mid 911’s
Thanks go out to all the volunteers who helped setup the venue, park cars, our timers and especially to our judges!
Besides the entrants there was a steady flow of Maverick visitors all morning that some estimated to be at least 35-40 Porsches. Concours can definitely be a spectator sport! Judging lasted about an hour and a half and the competition within each class was tough. Our scoring team of Joann and Christy (left) tabulated the results and our winners were announced. Taking best of show with the highest point score of all cars was Clint Blackman’s Silver Boxster. Everyone was asked

2008 AX/TT Rules by Charlie Davis
W
e’re listening to our customers and their wishes. We heard people say they wanted more runs and that’s what we’re giving them. They wanted a simpler classification process, so here it is. We can’t give everyone everything they want, but we are here for YOU. We welcome constructive suggestions and will discuss the reasonable ones at the rules meetings. We are also looking for more members to serve on the AX/TT Rules Committee. If you like to autocross, eat pizza, and stay up late, this is for you! The AX/TT Rules have been finalized for 2008. By the time this article is published in Slipstream, they will be available on the Region website at: http://mav.pca.org/Events/ AX.asp ...scroll down to the General Information section and click on the 2008 AX/TT Rules link. If you can’t access the
website for some reason, contact me and I’ll mail you a copy. The 2008 Rules have been simplified. And we made some big changes: 1) We have removed the limitation on the number of runs and all runs will count; 2) The Classification Form has been simplified (see below); 3) Non-Porsches will run in the numbered Porsche classes (but will not be scored for year-end awards). There are many small changes too. Don’t fail to actually read the Rules! If you don’t understand something, ask… The Classification Form will also be on the Region website. Download a copy, fill it out, and bring it to the first AX/ TT you attend. Below, is a sample 2008 Classification Form, showing how to fill it out…

My instructor didn’t talk as much either; I was following exactly as he had instructed. That weekend, two incidents occurred on the track: a grass fire and a vehicle that lost all its oil. Both incidents were handled in such a professional manner you forget that
many of the staff are volunteers. Both times vehicles were signaled off the track until the situation was resolved, then waved back on the track. The staff was always serious about safety, but at the same time, they had a humorous side; with Halloween so close, three of the grid staff dressed for the occasion.

Thanks Mark, for your thoughtful and exhilarating gift. Also, thanks to the professional staff and instructors for a safe and thrilling weekend. The only problem now, is I want to drive more and when do I trade my SUV in for that Porsche?

master that I was ready to go. That first day, I even passed a few cars, (only allowed on straight portions of the track and only after a signal by the car being passed). One thing, I was very surprised about was how tired I felt at the end of the day; by nine that night I was ready to pass out.
Charity Autocross by Erich Gluck
N
ow open to the public, the Charity Autocross event, overseen by the Time-Trial Chairman Bryan Bell, has annually taken place once again in the shadow of the Texas Motor Speedway. The once bus parking lot was transformed into an arena of car vs. cone, and with tow truck standing by on that overcast morning, cars, (and one truck,) sped around the course, attempting to shave seconds off their time with every lap. Surprisingly, the asphalt had been slicked with oil and sand The first step is to study the course map the night before for the “drifter” crowd, providing a very interesting cornering experience for the autocross members. This already intense course was designed by the Shoffit family with two back-to-back skid-pads and a slalom section to boot. After many D.N.F.’s on the third corner near the end of the course, everyone seemed to be honing their skills on the tight corners and sometime confusing cones to enjoy complete laps of a great layout. A light breeze kicked up across the blackened desert as adults and children set up folding chairs and coolers beside the starting gate to watch and listen to all different types of cars; from well-tuned purring Porsches to rattleyour-brains cars meant only for racing; from a Toyota Yaris to a Lotus Elise, and even “Bettys Boat”, a ’55 Chevy in which four people rode. All levE-Ticket Ride! els of women and men pushed their cars to the edge of their ability as they competed with themselves to improve their time from lap to lap at this well-attended event, knowing that beyond the cost of renting the premises, every penny went to the new Huffaker-Hughes Hope House in Mineral Wells. This shelter for victims of domestic violence, directed by Lisa Huffaker, helps women and children from the North Texas area by giving the family a safe, comfortable environment while they build a new, better life for themselves. 14

Due to many generous donations by Porsche Club members and other individuals such as the late Lanean Hughes, and a vision by Mark Gluck, the old shelter, Leanin’ - Leanin’ - Leanin’ which was on its last legs, was replaced by a new building down the street. The new shelter was built significantly by the volunteer work and helpful guidance of many people from the Maverick Region, and opened in December of 2006. With the continuing donations of usable items and monetary donations taken to the shelter every year, this safe-haven continues to be the shining light for many families in distress. And everyone can help out – and have fun! – by coming to the Charity Autocross next year.

Top Driver Run-Off by Bryan Bell
W
hat a blast! For me, this had to be the best Autocross event ever. For those of you that didn’t make it out to the Charity AX, a small bit of history to bring you up to speed. Mike Lockas and I were the top two drivers for Time Trial and Autocross this year. To make things fun and a little more interesting, I challenged Mike to a run off. The rules were simple – we’d both drive our own car and then drive each other’s car for a couple of laps. Overall winner for the day would then take home the top driver trophy. No pressure or anything! We were so close in the morning runs. So before we even knew the official outcome, Mike and I decided to run one more time each in both cars. Turns out that morning, we tied to the 1/1000 of a second in my car and Mike beat me by a tenth of a second in his car. Wow - the 944 is so different than the 911. However, I have to say, I loved driving the 944 under the pressure to perform!
The afternoon was do or die -- with one run each in both cars. I drove Mike’s car first. While coming off, I felt I did just ok in his car. We talked for a few seconds as we changed cars -- telling each other how the cars were doing and giving the best advice we could to each other. This was NOT just another AX. This was it! It was either beat Mike’s time with enough of a margin or lose the whole enchilada! So we finished the car exchange and we were off for our final run. I pushed it as hard as I could, nearly crying every time I started to slide! (Not Mike’s watching how close Bryan a rare thing on was to the last two cones the lot there at TMS). On the last turn to the finish I came within inches of hitting the two last cones on the course! So.....I can’t remember the times that well (honest). However, I will never forget the fun, excitement, joy, pleasure and high that I was on when we got out of the cars and shook hands! Neither of us knowing who really won yet. At that moment, it really did not matter who had won. I had competed with a skilled & experienced opponent and used every last ounce of concentration to do my best. Mike ended up beating me in his car by 5-7 tenths of a second. I ended up beating Mike by about 1 second in my car. So the total difference was around 3-4 tenths of a second in my favor. Win or lose - I would not trade that memory for anything! What a great day and the best feeling I have ever had at an AX. Thanks Mike.

American LeMans Series Finale, Laguna-Seca by Bill and Marilyn Stafford
R
acing into the night (or at least scattered dark) of the cool California evening, this was another battle between the LMP1 Audi juggernaut and the smaller, less powerful LMP2 Porsche RS Spyder on the 2.238 mile Laguna-Seca track in the hills above Monterrey. All season the Porsche has been giving the Audi R10 diesel a good run. At the Petit LeMans’ in Atlanta there was a really close and exciting finish but here at Laguna it was the racing equivalent of a gang fight. Renaldo Capello driving the #1 Audi

to the Porsches. Although the finishing order didn’t have ANYTHING to do with the outcome of the Prototype class championship, the drivers gave it everything for the fans. That’s racing! The #2 Audi of Mike Rockenfeller and Marco Werner placed 2nd in P1 and 3rd overall. Jamie CampbellWalter and Harold Primat were 3rd in LMP1 in the Creation CA07-Judd. Dumas and Timo Bernhard won their 8th P2 race and 6th straight victory giving them the LMP2 championship over sister car #6 driven by Ryan Briscoe and Sascha Maassen. The #6 Penske Porsche started on the pole by Maassen shattering the LMP2 track record by more than three seconds. Both Penske cars led overall in the course of the race. The LMP2 class is a scrappy bunch with the top 5 cars finishing with 56.025 seconds of each other. Adrian Fernandez and Luis Diaz ended up finishing third in class in the Acura-powered Lola. Bryan Herta and Tony Kanaan driving the Andretti-Green Acura finished fourth. The 2 Dyson Porsche RS Spyders’ finished seventh and eighth. The addition of the 2 Acura teams and the Dyson Porsches has made the LMP2 class very interesting.
held off Romain Dumas in the LMP2 #7 Penske Porsche in the final 32 minutes of the Monterey Sports Car Championships and finished a scant 0.41 seconds ahead without, I might add, banging side pods or punting each other off track. Capello and Dumas waged back and forth in the final stages in an unbelievable battle that included outside passing. Capello took the lead on the fifth restart of the race, and the duo traded the lead on the front-stretch with 12 minutes to go Capello using the big torque and power of the Audi to pull away and hold off the more nimble Porsche. Audi said before the race that they came to the race not expecting to win (based on their uber computer program), but again, that’s racing luck and most of the luck went to the Audi team. It seems every time they pitted for fuel, there was a yellow flag for several laps allowing them to remain close
In the GT1 class, there were only the two Corvettes of Pratt-Miller competing. The Corvettes had a really cool paint scheme. One was the identical “negative” of the other… black on yellow or is it yellow on black. Whatever. The class was won by the #4 Corvette C6 R driven by Olivier Beretta and Oliver Gavin over the #3 sister Corvette driven by Jan Magnusson and Johnny O’Connell. The race was literally won in the pits with the #4 crew getting its car out 10.5 seconds faster. This after seeing the #3 crew win Saturday’s Klein Pit Crew Challenge and the $10,000. That provided the #4 team a bit of incentive for the race. The Corvettes primarily compete against themselves throughout the year. The Maserati’s were rumored to be entrants but I guess they lost their sunglasses or went on strike or the pre-race celebration party lasted too long and, well, you know how that ends up. Jaime Melo and Mika Salo captured their first Series championship by winning in GT2 for Risi Competizione in the #62 Ferrari F430 GT. The victory gave Ferrari its first ever manufacturer championship in the Series. The #71 Tafel Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RSR driven by Dominik

Farnbacher and Wolf Henzler finished 2nd. Salo made the winning pass on Ralf Kelleners in the Bobby Rahal/David Letterman Racing Porsche #18 with 25 minutes to go. Kelleners and Tom Milner eventually finished 3rd and a lap down to the 2 leading cars. The Flying Lizard team of Jorg Bergmeister and Johannes van Overbeek finished second in the Series. There was one fatality during the race. A suicidal squirrel ran to the center of the track and was hit by the Rayhal Porsche at about 145 mph. The Pit Rat was worried that the aerodynamics had been compromised‌.but they still came in third in class. The Porsche GT3 race (for the non-professional drivers) is always exciting if you like seeing hundred thousand dollar cars being trashed. It’s a lot like the Devil’s Bowl races, but with caviar and Champaigne. The 30 minute race did have two different sessions of two green laps. I forgot who won.
5. Cadillac is leaving the racing venue. Forcing them to remove the wet bar was too much. Andy Pilgrim’s future is unsure, but there is probably a Corvette in it. Sad note: The Government is slowly selling off the old Ft. Ord property that surrounds the Laguna-Seca track with the homes now within a half mile. How long before the race track becomes a noise nuisance and goes away? Remember Riverside? Support your local racetrack‌‌while you can.
Pit Rat Notes 1. Rahal/Letterman Racing has not made an announcement regarding their plans for the 2008 season. Some say they will field a LMP 2 Porsche. Some say they won’t, so that’s official. 2. Robin Pratt of Pratt-Miller racing stated it is sometime harder to race against yourself than other teams. She didn’t know why other teams shy away from GT1. She also speculated there maybe some rule changes coming. They are planning to run GT1 again next year. 3. A new tuner 600 hp 2008 Corvette was shown by Local racer Lou Gilotti. His motto is “money buys speedâ€?. 4. The long rumored “Blue Devilâ€? 600 hp Corvette showed up but it was yellow. Hot shoe Corvette Driver Johnnie O’Connell took it out for 3 laps and set the brakes on fire‌ really! They zipped it back into the Trailer REAL FAST.

Happy Hour at Tupinamba’s by Monda Hanna

T
he October happy hour at Tupinamba’s in North Dallas drew a crowd of twenty-two new, and some notso-new, faces to the Texas A&M themed Mexican restaurant. Several of our new members only had their new prized family members for less than a week. Some of the new members to our family included Nick, Georgia, and Brian. Our long distance winners Alan Lage and fiancé Verena Mahlow (997 GT3 and 968) were in attendance Verena and Alan even though home is seven time zones away. Alan is a long time Maverick region member currently living in Mainz Germany. Clarence Wyatt and Mike Lockas spun tales of a recent trip to Germany and the Formula 1 race in Spa-Francorchamps Belgium while Steve Fallon, Lori and Peter Mauthe were looking forward to a trip to the Rennsport Reunion in Florida to view many historic racing Porsches in the environment they were born for, the racing circuit at Daytona speedway. As requested by many, our next Happy Hour will be in Fort Worth at another new venue for us: Daddy Jack’s Lobster and Chowder House located at 353 Throckmorton. We have heard many great things about this restaurant and are looking forward to seeing many new and old faces in Fort Worth on Thursday, November 15th at 6:30pm for more exciting discussions. More information call Monda Hanna 972-450-3835 or monda.hanna@opco.com or Mike Lockas at mikeldean@ earthlink.net.
