Road Ramblings by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President
I
was glad when I saw Ted Glover’s published calendar of more one-day and weekend driving tours throughout Texas and the surrounding states for this year versus last year. Tours are one of Maverick Region’s most popular events-they always sell out. It warms my heart because it means we are using our Porsches as the good Doctor intended- we are driving them. In the midst of all the controversy of the Cayenne deviating from the bloodline of Porsche History, or the lack of a Porsche contender for the overall win at Le Mans the past few years, few can argue that for the past 50 years, nothing beats taking a Porsche out on the open road and driving it safely but spirited. Little has changed there. The tours are a fantastic opportunity to combine many recreational activities- history, dining, scenery, driving, spending time with friends, weekend-getaway, etc. After all, touring by car is Americana at its finest. Ted’s tours have sure come a long way from my first tours as a kid driving to Florida with no A/C and my family for twenty-hours straight in a 1969 Buick LeSabre. If you have never done a tour with the region, you must make it your top priority this year. You won’t be disappointed.
...February is the start of our 9-month high-performance driving season... The Cayenne issue has also gotten me thinking. There are those who say Porsche shouldn’t stray from its core of sports cars and they shouldn’t have built an SUV. However, the Cayenne is a joint venture with VW that allowed Porsche to spend far less money out of its own pocket than other companies have in developing their respective SUVs. Also, like it or not, many Americans and Porsche owners already own SUVs or have said they would buy one if Porsche made it. While I know there was a time when there was a wide array of 928, 944, and 911 (and turbo) product lines, I’m not sure there won’t be even more Porsche model diversity and choice in a year or so. Over the next year or two it looks like a person will be able to get a Boxster, Boxster S, 996 Coupe, Cabriolet, Targa, C4S, GT3, Twin-Turbo, GT2, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and even a Carrera GT. All you need is the money. We truly are in a golden era of ultra-high performance combined with mild-manners and low maintenance, in all cars, not just Porsches. Let’s see now, if I had won that recent Powerball Lottery of $300 Million, what would I buy…
autocross schools to prepare you for getting the most out of yourself and your Porsche. Read more about them in the following pages of this month’s Slipstream. What a great selection of driving activities and venues. I’ll be at a couple of the schools shaking off the cobwebs. The autocross, time-trial, and race track events offer a wonderful way to get the most out of our cars without worrying about tickets, accidents, bad judgment, etc. A special thanks to Jan Mayo for serving as our PCA National Zone 5 rep for 6 years. Now she gets to be in charge of our 2004 Parade! Jan’s replacement is the capable club racer Brooke Van Horne from Oklahoma. One final thought with respect to my comment above about the overall win at Le Mans. Frankly, sports car racing ain’t what was prior to about 1991. I know Le Mans and the Daytona 24 hours are still among the crownjewels of motor racing, but since the fractioning between Grand AM and ALMS and the demise of the old GTP prototypes, the move has been away from sports cars towards all the other series. I guess TV and sponsorship has had a lot to do with it also. I think if there ever was a time when it didn’t hurt not to be in the top ranks of sports car professional racing; it’s been the last few years. I certainly hope that changes and, when it does, that Porsche is right up front competing for the championship.

And while we’re on the subject of choices, February is the start of our 9-month high-performance driving season. We have a Drivers Education event at MotorSport Ranch, Lone Star Region has one down at Texas World Speedway in College Station, and we have several local 5

Curves Ahead by Matt Platts, Editor
I
don't know about you, but I am very excited to see driving season arrive. I have made a personal commitment (new year's resolution?) to participate in several driving events this year. I have been to a few DE's and a handful of Autocrosses and Time Trials in the 4 years that I've been a member, but I am looking forward to doubling my total this year. There are so many events offered by the Maverick Region and other surrounding regions, I would like to mix in some tracks that I haven't driven on before like Hallet and Texas World Speedway. I can't wait, and I hope to see many of you there! Now that I am editor, I feel a little added responsibility to become more active in all aspects of the club. Things like the Rally School last weekend and the New Member Party on the weekend before. Both events were held at Texas Motor Speedway, I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of a better place to spend the day, or better people to spend it with. You will see articles for each of these events in next month’s issue, but you might have noticed the cover picture that was taken there. I was very excited to have such a wonderful assortment of Porsches there, including 4 very new Carerra 4S’s. Bob Lewis even sent in a picture of himself standing by his car at the party that you’ll notice at the end of this article.
I would also like to remind everyone that we have a members page on our website (www.pca.org/mav) where you can post pictures of yourself and your car(s). I highly recommend finding someone with a digital camera, taking a picture, and sending that along with your name and any other information that you would like to see on the web to our webmaster, Michael Oakes. This is my second issue and I think you will find that it's packed full of great articles and event information. Everyone told me that December and January are our slow months of the year. I can't imagine what the busy season is going to be like, but I think I will find out soon. There are several events happening in February and March so take a close look at the calendar and pick the events that interest you most.

Maverick Minutes by Lanean Hughes
T
he first 2003 MRPCA board meeting was held at the home of our new president, Keith Olcha, on January 7th, 2003. Due to the wonderful meal that Karen had prepared, we started the meeting 15 minutes late!
Keith went “round the room” for us to state our official position, give updates, and plan to discuss any issues we might have later. Bill Dugan, rules committee chair, reported that we will be wearing short sleeves for Autocross and Time Trial, (see Slipstream for more details). Jan Mayo reported that “Parade is Happening”. Joe McGlohen reported on his discussions w/Lone Star and other regions within Zone 5 to be more consistent with corner worker duties and protocol for safety. Joe also reported that the BMW club is looking to borrow our timing equipment for their upcoming Club Race, Keith suggested we leave up to the AX/TT chairs to make that decision, motion carried. Joe then also reported on the “Flag of the Month Club”. Motion was carried to purchase more flags. Lisa Steele reporting for Mark that the AX is on. Dennis Chamberlain reported on our Happy Hours, their successes, and where the January HH will be. Next month Dennis will have a proposal on our mentoring program. Mike Brodigan stated that we are at our advertising capacity, with a wait list. What a great accomplishment! John Sandusky, our DE chair for 2003, stated the February DE is on track w/Park Place as the sponsor. Matt Platts reported having the first Slipstream under 8
his belt was a good feeling (applause from Mavericks attending). Matt wants to continue to emphasize that the 10th of the month is the deadline, to please volunteer to write articles and we will see more visible changes in the future to Slipstream. Matt also requested approximately $350 for upgrade items for the computer. The motion was made and approved. Charlie Davis proposed the purchase of a van to be used for timing and storage of our driving events for $1,000 with an additional $1,000 for repairs. Approval was given for Charlie to pursue the purchase. Joel Nannis reported “We have members”. Our membership is still over 1,000 and we are growing rapidly. Teri Davis reported on the upcoming Rally School and that we will be holding a multi-event weekend in October. Teri is also looking to build a web page for Rally events, so watch for it online. Lanean Hughes reported the sponsor checks for the February and June DE have been sent. She also reported on the Club Race and that things are moving forward. Keith reported on the storage area that Maverick Region has secured, and that keys are being distributed to those deemed necessary. Up next was Michael Wingfield, assistant registrar for DE. He stated that he enjoyed “watching Keith work the room”. It was noted that our new president will be using the acronym TOL (take off line), during his term. With no further business to be discussed the meeting was adjourned at 9 p.m. The next meeting will be at the home of Lanean Hughes. The Board Meeting is for you, so join us!
Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon by Dennis Chamberlain than ever before. It’s a treat to be able to graze on good Tex-Mex while gazing out the big windows at the lineup. In addition, Lanean had arrived before I did (no surprise there), and had arranged for the restaurant to put out enough appetizers that it was hardly necessary to order from the menu.
I
Nuevo Leon always rolls out the red carpet for us, and they went even a step farther this time. The restaurant reserves the entire row of parking in front for our Porsches, and the lineup of cars this time was even more inspiring

had expected a quiet Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon on December 19, since Christmas was less than a week away. Not only that, but the annual Maverick Christmas party had just been held a few days earlier. To my surprise, we had 42 rambunctious members, including several new faces.
Photo by Dennis Chamberlain
Jeannine and Gig Philipp New faces included Bill and Barbara Gross, who recently purchased a new 2002 Boxster, and Gig and Jeannie Philipp, who came down from Denton. The Philipp’s were members long ago, sold their Porsche, and thought that they had to drop out. They recently acquired a 1997 993, so we’re lucky to have them back. We also had several longer time members who haven’t attended recently – including Lisa and Jay Walker, Darren and Karin Sumrall, and Carol and Joe Rybarski. Kristi Kobell and Randle Johnson walked over from Park Place. Photo by Dennis Chamberlain

So it was Tex-Mex this time, but get ready for scotch Carol and Joe Rybarski eggs, bangers & mash, shepherd’s pie, and fish & chips the next time. I’m not making this up. I’m talking about Sherlock’s Baker Street Pub, which is in Addison, just behind Friday’s at Montfort & Belt Line. That will be the site of the February 13 happy hour.
You can’t tell here, but “wow” what a wonderful RED hat! 9

Maverick Driving Tours by Ted Glover
D
ue to popular demand, the 2003 Tour Season is going to be a busy one. The tours will cover different parts of Texas, so members will be able to experience how diversified the Texas geography is. It is not just flat. The Maverick Region has a busy calendar for 2003, so I have tried to fill in as many open dates as possible. However, this was not always possible and there will be conflicts, which means many times a choice will have to be made. By having these choices, the club should be able to satisfy all the members’ desires: There was a desire by tour participants to visit Big Cedar Lodge in the Fall of 2003. Unfortunately, Big Cedar Lodge is already booked for October, 2003. So I have booked rooms for our trip, 29-31 October 2004. The rooms that are reserved for the club are in the Valley View Lodge and Spring View Lodge. They also have cabins and cottages available. If you would rather stay in one of those, just let them know. If you want to go, call now and reserve a room or cabin. The phone number for group reservations is (417) 339-5233. Do not delay, as the cottages and cabins go fast. Bonnie and I would like to thank all the participants in the past tours and thank the group for the show of appreciation in Eureka Springs.
arrive early so that you will be ready for the driver’s meeting. Each car should have a full tank of gas, a walkie-talkie, and I also suggest bringing a spare key. If you have any questions about any of our tours, please call me at 972-248-7751.

Rules Meeting by Bill Dugan, Rules Chair

fairly informal rules meeting was held at the Christmas party. The only item discussed was the clothing rule. It was decided that it’s allright to wear a short sleeve shirt at Maverick Region Time Trials. All other clothing requirements remain the same. This is an attempt to align with DE and Parade 2003 (Tampa, Florida). It should also help me at the Parade 2004 (Fort Worth in case you didn’t know)
Bill Dugan telling summer Time Trialers that short sleeves are okay for the day.

Maverick Holiday Party by Mike Lockas
A
lan and Kay Leibel hosted this year’s holiday party and, as expected, it was a fabulous event. The Leibel’s house was bursting at the seams with both people (an estimated 100 in attendance) and food. A stroll down the block revealed a beautiful collection of fine Porsche automobiles. That, coupled with many houses in the neighborhood decked out with holiday lights really helped to emphasize the season.
...the people are the reason that makes events like this so special...
Much of the topics of conversation were bench racing and what modifications were going to be done to extract the next increment of performance from our beloved Porsche of choice. The upcoming driving schools were also hot topics as people were excited to get their spouses and children involved in their hobbies. With good hearted kidding and challenging, it comes back to our motto of “It’s not the cars, it’s the people.” The cars may be the common bond that brought us together, but the people are the reason that makes events like this so special.

Nobody at the party went away hungry. The menu was centered around the famous Joe McGlohen barbeque. Joe brought a wide variety of smoked meats that included barbeque beef, chicken, sausage, and ribs. There were a few other tables spread throughout the house containing munchies like crackers, cheeses, dips, crisp veggies, and many side dishes. You could sample wonderful casseroles and vegetable dishes. So many members brought their favorite sides, it was hard to decide where to start. Oh - you can’t forget about the dessert table that was overflowing with sinful goodies. Some attendees were even caught sneaking bites of the sweets before dinner!
A very clean 911 Targa
A line for the buffet, but there was plenty to go around!

Driver Education Tech Update by Ray Luedecke
W
ith the dawning of a new driving year, some of the newer rules for Tech Inspection from last year need to be clarified or brought back to our attention after the long period of rest.
The next update is that these cars will run with the tops on or up unless the driver and passenger (instructor) both have arm restraints. We prefer you to not use arm restraints as when they are properly installed, they hinder in giving good passing signals while on track. And instructors like to use hand signals so the driver can see the track better.
Last year, PCA National handed down some new “suggestions” to enhance the safety of our driving events. The most talked about update was the “Cabriolet rollover protection” rule. In laymen terms, cabriolet is convertible with a soft top. All cars with these soft tops will need to have supplemental rollover protection, as in a roll bar, roll hoop, cage, or automatic roll bars. This is for all run groups. 996 cabs and Boxsters have roll bars from the factory. Everything else (993 cabs, 944 cabs, earlier 911 cabs, etc...) do not come with enough roll over protection. These cars will be required to have aftermarket bars installed. There are other makes of cars with built in protection: some models from Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, and Mazda come to mind. (Check with me prior to the event if you are in doubt about your particular car.)
The next update is the “Like restraint” rule. If the driver has a race seat and 5/6 point harnesses, then your instructor needs the same equipment. If you are being held in place with a piece of rope, then the instructor can use that same piece of rope. <grin> (Thanks Steve K.) If you cannot afford 2 sets of seats and harnesses, then run with your stock 3-point harness as long as you have an instructor in the car. The last update is the dreaded “Grid Tech”. There was an instance of somebody getting their car inspected a week before the event and it passed as it was then. Then they changed tires the morning of the event, and (uh-oh) the tires fell off the car while on track. OOPS... They missed getting the lugs torqued right with enough stud into the lug. So, when Green and Blue students come to grid, the instructor will walk you around your car doing a quick check of some important things. The list is as follows: Wheel torque, tire tread, empty all of the pockets in the car, empty the trunk(s), remove cell phones and radar detectors, do you have brake fluid, what pressure are you running in your tires, are there any noticeable leaks from under the car, etc. The higher run groups will be spot checked, but they should have enough time on track to know what to do..??
...if you are being held in place with a piece of rope, then your instructor can use that same piece of rope... The next update is that cars with soft tops will need to pass the “broom stick” test. (Do this at home...) Sit in the drivers seat with your helmet on, lower the top, place the broom from the windshield back to the roll bar. If your helmet is above this line, it is not safe. If you are wearing standard 3-point harnesses, there is some slack as you will slip down into the seat if you roll over. (Again, ask me and I can look at it during tech. You might try to get in touch with me earlier to have time to get roll bar installed if needed...) If you choose to
Ray Luedecke entering Wagon Wheel ahead of a red Corvette at MSR. wear 5/6 point harnesses, the rule needs to be enforced strictly as you will not slip and the situation during a roll over becomes grave. For example: A tall person driving a Miata with a 5-point harnesses and stock seats. If your head sticks up above the “broom” line 2-3 inches, your neck is in danger. Err on the side of safety.

This is a driver’s education event. We’re big on education. It is not the responsibility of the tech inspector or instructors to keep up with your car. We are teaching and reinforcing the needed points to help you keep the event running safely. Learning more about your car and the check points that need attention when driving your high performance sport car will only help you long term - on track as well as off the track. Helping you to become better tuned to your fine driving machine.
Do you think this 911 setup this way would be able to run again this year at MSR under the new rules? 17

Parade for Dummies - 2003 by Jan Mayo
M
averick’s private room at the Prairie House in Carrollton was perfect for the 30+ members that came to talk about and hear about Parade. Ooooh, What’s “Parade”? Half of us were in the know and we shared every tidbit we could with the others that hadn’t had the experience.
some of the little details that “Newbies” need to know. Like filling out the registration form and what’s important to NOT FORGET, and when/how to mail it. The Rules are important and James Shoffit, speaking from personal experience, explained why. In preparation for the Parade Rally, Teri and Charlie Davis will be having a couple Rally Schools this spring. She explained what a Rally was and why these schools ahead of time are not only great fun but good preparation before you go to Florida.
...I like to call Porsche Parade as sensory overload... opportunities to visit. If you’re standing in the parking lot with a quizzical expression on your face or your arms overloaded with bags, someone will stop to help. A new best friend. You’ll look over the Concours site in awe at the panorama of colors and someone will point to one and say, “That’s mine” or “I know that guy.” Another new best friend. You could be looking in the engine compartment of a brand new 996 and Peter Porsche will look over your shoulder and say “Hello”. Yup, another new best friend. As Parade 2003 will be in Saddlebrook Resort, just north of Tampa, June 22-28, we shared these experiences then explained
Jan shares her Parade experience with a group of the attendees Many Parades have specific Kid activities and Florida has a wonderful array of things for teens and pre-teens and little kids. Lanean Hughes gave us a rundown of these activities and we introduced Lisa Steele as the Kid Activities Chairman for 2004 Parade here in Maverick-Town. Mike Bellinghausen promptly sprung up presenting his youngest toddler to Lisa. “Here, you can have him NOW.” At this point we started tying in all these wonderful things we’re promoting in Florida to the fact that Maverick Region will be hosting the 2004 Porsche Parade here in Fort Worth, July 4-10.

Meeting people is what I like to go to Parade for. You meet fellow enthusiasts from all walks of life. And they’ve all become my very best friends. There are parties, dinners, and social

I like to call The Porsche Parade “sensory overload”. Do you turn your head at the sound of a Turbo rounding the corner down the street? Do you pop your head up when you hear the distinctive motor of a 356? Does a racecar whizzing by give you chills? If so, at Parade you’ll be dizzy in a matter of minutes. Parade is a gathering of 1500 – 1800 fellow Porsche Enthusiasts bringing 500-800 Porsches. You will see nearly every possible model, color, option, and condition. Some are beautiful. Some are so incredible you’re afraid to breathe anywhere near it. Some of the owners would prefer you NOT breathe anywhere near it. Some owners welcome you to crawl in, around, and under every nook and cranny. Some cars are in such dilapidated state you’ll wonder how it made it from across the state. But it’s there with its happy proud owner, because it DID make it from across the state.

As Chairman Charlie tells James where those 45-series tires are of 2004 Maverick Parade I’m inviting everyone out there to get involved. Meet the people and enjoy the family that evolves during the next 18 months of planning. Preparing a week long party for 1800 New Best Friends, is no small endeavor, but Maverick is up to it. Come join the family. There is a lot to do and lots of places for new and happily established members to join in. Round-the-room introductions

Concours Judges Seminar By Kathy Fricke
T
here will be a National Concours Judges Seminar this Spring at Prestige Imports in Denver. General Manager Don Adis has agreed to host this event on March 2, 2003 at the Porsche dealership at 9201 W. Colfax, Lakewood, Co. The seminar is supported by Zone's 9, 5, and the Rocky Mountain and Alpine Mountain Regions. The seminar will offer something for everyone regardless of involvement in Parade or Regional concours. Nationally accredited judges will be used to head teams of apprentice or first time judges. For the members, as well as the national judges attending, this formal training is strongly recommended for increased proficiency as a Parade or Regional judge. Club members wishing to become apprentice national or regional judges looking to improve their skills are welcome to attend. Even if you are not interested in the judging aspect of it, you will still learn a lot about your Porsche as a by-product of studying the judging process. The Judges seminar is not a car care product knowledge class, but you may hear about various products used by some of the attendees. If you have attended a Porsche Parade, you may be familiar with the classification of Parade judging. The seminar will involve three classes: Restoration, Preparation and Preservation. On a regional level we deal mostly with the Preparation class. This is otherwise known as “the search for dirt”. At the Parade in Boise this year I entered my ‘84 Carrera in the Preservation class. In this class the judges are not allowed to touch the entrant’s car. The primary judging interest is the originality of your car. This is not to say that the judges will not ask you to open everything up for inspection. It’s a very interesting class for the entrant who has a perfectly stock, original Porsche. It is not a beauty contest, but you do have to have the car prepared well. I will leave the Restoration and Preparation class descriptions to more learned judge/members like Dennis Frick, Seminar Chairman, Tom Scott, Bill Jackson and other gurus at the seminar. It is my feeling that if you take the time and attend this seminar you will come away with a wealth of new ideas. Please check the RMR and AMR web sites for more details.

Why It’s Good To Wear White By Bill Kasdorf close and personal, is really great. I have a much better understanding of the things my instructor, Dan Germain, tried to tell me at the last DE. "See the corner station?", he'd ask every time. "Yeah, so what? I'm looking for my apex, and turn out, and all cones in general," I thought. Now I understand why I need to add them to my list of things to do. They (we!) are out there to add a huge level of safety to this driving thing. Not only do you get to see examples of a dozen different driving styles, you actually start critiquing the way each took "your corner."
I
think I had a beer in my hand, and probably one already down when Joe McGlohen approached me during my first Maverick Happy Hour. He sensed my weakness. Here's a brand new Maverick, trying to connect with this new group of strangers. He could strike quickly. Me, a corner worker? Naw, I wanna be a race car driver, like Michael, or Hurley, or Nigel. No one dreams of becoming a corner worker! "How much time, what's involved, and when?" I asked, trying to find a reason to not get caught up in this. "OK, yeah, put me down, I'll do it.” (Well, some day maybe). It was like anything else, agree face-to-face then get your schedule really full. It's worked for years on other stuff, like dentist appointments.
When the fastest and best drivers were on the track it was the greatest seat in the house. You could pretty much just tape the Blue Passing flag to the protection barrier in front of us, because they were all over each other, passing in places that I didn't think possible, and all right in front of me.
As is typical with Joe, he didn't forget. He bribed my wife, Penny, and I with his (now) famous barbeque in exchange for attending a Flag and Communication Class. He had apparently worked similar coercion with others because he had at least a dozen in attendance for his training. OK, we're trained. We still have time to manage this commitment. Remember, I wanna be like Michael.
It was all very exciting and educational, and it also gave me an entirely new perspective of why we joined a group like the Mavericks. It really is about the people, the cars are a bonus. These workers took their jobs very seriously. And I was one of them. And when there was a break, walking around the garages got us "thank you's" from the busy drivers. It was a good feeling. Everyone in charge of this event went out of their way to make each of us feel good about helping out. Countless acknowledgements are due, and great food. But for me it was another of life's experiences, great people, great cars, and recognition.
Volunteers? Yeah, Wendy put us down. Club Race? Yeah, we're "trained". White clothing? It's October - in Dallas! There's nothing out there, this is fashion-land. Everything white in Dallas is destroyed on Labor Day. You'll accept light colors? OK Yeah, put us down for the Club Race. 7am on a Saturday? I must admit I got a kick out of telling friends and coworkers about "working" a car race. Most had no idea this was available and seemed intrigued by the idea. Being my first time, I really couldn't explain what I was going to do, so I made some of it up to sound even more important and exciting.
I still want to be like Michael, but now I've expanded my interests, again. I truly enjoyed working the event. Joe and Wendy: Sign me up again! (Reprinted from the December 2001 Slipstream to try and encourage more volunteers.)
At 8 in the morning it was windy and cold. But it was really beautiful to be out in the middle of a quiet racetrack watching the sun come up. The cold seemed to vanish when the first cars came out on track, as did the quiet. We rotated duties throughout the day so each could learn all aspects of working the corner. Thanks to Joe and Wendy's recruiting skills we had enough people to have one person available to "float" and secretly watch the cars. Watching cars on SpeedVision is great, but seeing the difference in driving styles, up

I found a flaw in Joe's training shortly after arriving at corner 6 with my fellow workers. I needed to pack enough clothing and "stuff" for three seasons; hot, cold, and wet. I also don't recall him telling me to bring earplugs and Mechanix Gloves (for helping push cars that came to "visit" our corner). I was sure to bring them Sunday.

Corners are even more crowded at TMS!
Wagon Wheel is an important corner at MSR. A red shirt on corner worker here would look just like a red flag! This is one corner you don’t want to get in the habit of ignoring something red out of the corner of your eye! 23
Parade 2003 - Plan For The Best by the Parade 2003 Chairs
The 2003 Porsche Parade will use as its home the beautiful Saddlebrook Resort, located approximately 20 miles north of the city of Tampa, Florida. Saddlebrook is well known by golf and tennis aficionados, as it boasts an Arnold Palmer designed golf course and a world famous tennis academy. Saddlebrook is large enough to accommodate not only all attendeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; housing requirements but has spacious enough grounds to host almost all Parade events, a one stop shopping sort of environment. The options for hotel accommodations include a single room, one or two bedroom suite and even a few threebedroom suites. The resort has lovely grounds, which lend themselves to walking short distances either for recreation or going from one event to the next. The food service and restaurant dining at the resort have received the Golden Platter Award for several years, making the need for food a great opportunity to try some quality cuisine. All banquets will be held on property in the Grand Pavilion room. Look forward to a resort experience that will have you thinking of coming back in future years to relive the pleasures of the Florida Parade!
SECURITY Security at Parade 2003 will be the least thing you must think about. Your precious jewels of cars will be perfectly safe, as well as any personal items. Parade 2003 is being held inside the grounds of an exclusive resort and community. Entry to the area is controlled via a gate and a
24
guard employed by Saddlebrook resort where the event is being held. The resort has a very extensive and well trained security staff, which are on duty 24 hours per day. In addition to these normal and excellent security procedures, a uniformed police officer with a marked patrol car will be on duty every night of the Parade from 7PM in the evening until 7AM the following morning. Security will be the best ever provided! Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to bring along personal identification and your PCA membership card.

An arial view of Saddlebrook Resort
PARKING Saddlebrook Resort is a walking village; therefore, the parking will be dispersed to several lots throughout the resort. All parking will be assigned upon arrival at the resort. A shuttle service will be provided to take you from your designated parking area to the hotel registration area. 24-hour shuttle service will be available to all parking areas. Since the parking lots are dispersed, the Concours Prep parking area will not be located near the trailer parking. Shuttle service will be provided between the two lots. Accommodations will be made for those who wish to prep their car at their trailer. Concours preparation areas will be in two lots with easier access to guest accommodations. Entrants in the Concours will be limited to one and one half parking places in the prep lots. After the Concours on Monday, the prep lots will be opened to all Porsches, not just Concours entrants. Look for the Parade 2003 Application in the November issue of Panorama. Be sure to mail your parade application on Tuesday, January 14, 2003.
