The Inside Track by Rocky Johnson, Maverick Region President
W
ell gang, it won't be long now. Based on all the conversations I overheard, at both the Holiday Party and the New Members Party, a lot of people, including me, are really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of their favorite “P” car. In fact, by the time you read this, the 2005 driving season will be underway. The first autocross school kicks off in February and is a great start for both newcomers to the sport and experienced drivers, as well. The “old hands” get to freshen up their skills as instructors and the newcomers have the opportunity for some fun, informative seat time with knowledgeable, one-on-one instruction. If you have ever given any thought to really learning what you and your car are capable of, I highly recommend this as a starting point. ... Driving
in the wet is a good learning experience. ...
February also is the starting point for the year’s Driver Education program, with the Lone Star Region event at Texas World Speedway on the 12th and 13th and the Maverick DE at Motorsport Ranch on the 26th and 27th of the month. Some people shy away from these early events because of the uncertainty of the weather. I urge you not to let that hold you back. Driving in the wet is a good learning experience. It requires a lot of emphasis on car control and smoothness, that will pay big dividends down the line. Driving in the rain is also a fun equalizer between the big horsepower beasts and smaller displacement cars.
for so long. Of course, the real challenge is to leave with less than you started with, because there is always lots of good “stuff ” available for purchase or trade. The observant reader will notice that no mention is made of any yearly kickoff of a Concours. The reason being, so far, no one has shown an interest in chairing the Concours Committee position. If some, as yet unidentified, individual would like to revitalize what in recent years has been a dormant program, all they need to do is give me a call. So there you have it; a quick rundown of what looks like a fantastic start to the 2005 Maverick driving year. I can't wait to get rolling. We have a solid core of participants in all of our events. However, in an effort to promote a little cross-pollination, I encourage you to try something new this year. Wendy Shoffit and Steve Boyd have created a full year calendar, in printable PDF form, on our website. Be sure to print a copy, so you will know what's going on all year. If appropriate, print two, so your significant other will not accidentally schedule something silly (like a wedding, for example) on a key driving date.
Hats off to Eric Erz, the chair for our Tech Sessions, for organizing a Dyno Day in February. This should prove to be informative for all those involved. No doubt some participants will be pleased with the results and others dismayed. At a minimum, it will lead to some spirited discussions. By the way, if you have ideas for a Tech Session or would like to volunteer your car as a guinea pig, don't hesitate to contact Eric. March marks what, for many of us, will be the start of the Club Racing season with the Lone Star Region Race at TWS in College Station. The number of Maverick club racers, which is already significant, continues to expand. It looks like Colin Graidage, Chuck Machala and Mark Steele are preparing to join the fray. (There may well be others and I apologize for any unintentional omissions). In addition to continuing the Autocross and Time Trial schools, March also brings us the first of several Photo Rallies and scenic Tours of Texas and surrounding states. Also, in the spirit of “One man's/woman's trash is another man's/woman's treasure”, the first swap meet of the year is in March. This is an ideal opportunity to clear out some of those valuable “antique” auto parts you have been hoarding 5

Maverick Minutes by Michael Wingfield
R
uf Auto Center Dallas hosted the January 2005 Maverick Region Board meeting on January 3, 2005. Thanks to Hans Hoffmann and Wayne Corley for staying late and putting up with 18 additional Mavericks as we brought in the New Year.
Wendy Shoffit: Her Girl Scout troop will sell cookies beginning Friday (1/7) this year to benefit Hope Shelter. Bill Dawson: February DE registration opens Thursday (1/6). He will finalize the contract this month with Motorsport Ranch for the four DE events in ’05. Lanean added that Ruf Auto Center would sponsor the February DE, and that Mr. Ruf himself will attend.
For 2005, the region will hold the monthly board meeting on the first Monday of the month with two exceptions. The region will hold the July 2005, and September 2005 board meeting on the first Tuesday of the respective months. The January meeting had the following 20 members in attendance:Executive Council: Rocky Johnson, Mark Gluck, Jeff Atkins, Michael Wingfield; Board Members: Mike Brodigan, Chuck Machala, Bill Dawson, Lanean Hughes, Mike Holloway, Joe McGlohen, Bill Miller, Joel Nannis, Andy Miller, Dennis Chamberlain, Wendy Shoffit; Membership: Bob Knight, Noby Takahashi, Albert Sansores, Hans Hoffman, and Wayne Corley.
Lanean Hughes: She has talked with Steve Boyd, the Maverick Region Webmaster, to get the ’05 information updated. Hope Shelter held a groundbreaking ceremony on December 19, 2004, for the new building. She will serve as Club Race chair again this year. Ben Witry Bank of Source Mortgage, will sponsor the New Members’ Party on 1/16. However, the region will still need to pay for the tables and chairs. She would like to step down from the Hospitality chair position. The person filling the Hospitality Chair vacancy will need to find locations for Founder’s Day and the Holiday party, as well as coordinate food for each event.
Rocky Johnson: called the meeting to order at 6:55 PM, and began a “round table” format. Anyone present could present a report or issue to the Board for discussion. Mike Brodigan: Slipstream ads are current with the exception of one advertiser. He will contact the merchant one more time for payment before the end of the month. Otherwise, he may pull the ad from Slipstream. He has a waiting list of other advertisers should he have to pull the ad for non-payment. Bob Knight: Transfer of all Treasurer items complete to Jeff Atkins. The region completed and passed the IRS audit. The transfer of the region bank accounts from Bank of America to J.P. Morgan has almost completed. Outstanding checks prevent the closing of the Bank of America account. Once those checks clear, the region can close the account. Chuck Machala: AutoScope will open from 5-7:00 PM on 2/26 and 3/2 to tech cars in support of the AX schools. Bill Miller will set up AX tech with Mayo Performance. AX school registration will only appear online at the Maverick web site (http://www.pca.org/mav/). This year, the region will limit the number of attendees to the AX schools to 26 and 28 for the February and March events respectively. He would like to have a copy of the AX tech form available on the Maverick web site. Wendy Shoffit: On behalf of Teri Davis: Teri plans to investigate the possibility of a summer Round Up, possibly hosted in Granbury. The region can receive a National subsidy for holding the multi-event weekend. The board expresses interest in a ’05 Round Up, provided the event has economical accommodations. Joe McGlohen and Rocky Johnson suggest “economical “ means the maximum host location charge should not exceed $70 per day. Wendy Shoffit: On behalf of Jan Mayo: The region has approximately 60 garment bags left over from Parade ’04. Proposed dispositions of the bags include donating to Hope Shelter, selling at events, and selling through the Goodie Store. Per Lanean, Hope Shelter received 12 garment bags from Parade. The bags will appear at the New Members’ party for sale at $15 each (a bargain price!). All proceeds from the sales will go directly to the Hope Shelter. 8
Mark Gluck: Has received transfer of VP responsibilities from Noby. He will have insurance in place three weeks before events as necessary. Mike Holloway: Set the 18th of the month as the Slipstream deadline for article submission for publication in the following month. He has worked with Matt and Wendy to slate the regularly appearing articles. Requests that photo submissions have at least 300 dpi resolution and will buy a beer for anyone who reads his silly articles and admits to it. Joe McGlohen: Reminded the Board that at the December, 2004 meeting, the Board approved $800 dollars for the AX Committee to purchase radios. He located Motorola 7100 series radios for $75 per pair of radios, and invites the AX Committee to investigate the purchase of these radios. He will add a “Beer” flag to the standard flag set used for DE events, motivated by the Patti Mascone article appearing in the December 2004, issue of Panorama. Bill Miller: He needs payment from the Treasurer to secure the AX event dates and locations. Albert Sansores: He would like to see the region present more Tech Sessions. The Board directed him to contact Eric Erz, who has taken on the responsibility for Tech Sessions this year. Joel Nannis: He still has problems getting a membership list from National. Andy Miller: He has taken over Tours this year, and will submit Slipstream articles to Mike H. Dennis Chamberlain: Saltgrass Steak House will host the January Happy Hour. February location not yet set. He will create event ads for Slipstream this year, and needs event info. Reminds everyone that the Maverick web site now has a “Photo of the Week”, and he would like to encourage membership participation in submitting photos. Rocky Johnson: Reiterates that the 2005 Board will meet the first Monday of each month with two exceptions. The exceptions include July 2005, and September 2005, when the Board will meet on the first Tuesday of the respective months. The Jaguar Club has invited Maverick region to co-host a Concour's d'Elegance. Board unanimous consensus to not co-host the event. However, the region will notify the membership of the event and allow individual members to participate in the Jaguar hosted event. Park Place Porsche will host the next Board meeting on Monday, February 7, 2005. The January meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM.

he December 16th happy hour at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Plano was sandwiched between the Maverick Region Holiday Party on December 12 and, of course, Christmas. Nevertheless, a determined group of twenty-eight Maverick partiers braved the Christmas traffic to venture out in the cold and the astonishing traffic.

For the February 17 happy hour we’ll be returning to one of our favorite places – the Sea Grill at Trinity Mills and the Dallas North Tollway, and then for March 17 we’ll be heading to Cantina Laredo. Hope to see you there!!

Passion and Performance by Mike Holloway, Slipstream Managing Editor the runway. It was an entirely different driving experience in that I felt truly in control of the car: I felt as though I were part of it. It was exhilarating and that night I feel in love with Porsche and its design. MH: The Tiptronic was essentially designed to give the driver the control of a standard transmission without the leg strain of having to press the clutch. Aimee, what was your impression of the car? AM: It was incredibly freeing for me to drive this way – feeling that I was really driving the car rather than the detachment that accompanies an automatic transmission. I appreciate the feeling of having a manual transmission without the physical problem of me having to press down a clutch. Since I don’t have ankles on either side, I use my entire leg to press down and release pressure on the pedals by lifting my thigh muscle. This situation makes a traditional clutch problematic, whereas the Tiptronic allows me the sensation of connecting with the car through the gear changes without both thighs having to work. In a word, it is thrilling. MH: Porsche seems to do a great job of blending passion and performance. That combination reminds me of you. What can you say about that?

P
orsche owners typically have a unique outlook on life. Often, they are people who demonstrate both performance and passion, achieving high levels of excellence through their unique outlook, internal motivation, life experiences and personal philosophy. The Porsche Club of America has been a great place to meet new and interesting people. Slipstream’s Passion and Performance segment offers a chance to do just that. Please meet Aimee Mullins. Aimee Mullins is a close family friend. She was born without the fibulae in both her legs. During her first year, her parents made the difficult decision to have her legs amputated just below the knee. Aimee grew up wearing prosthetic wooden legs. She excelled in academics and athletics such as swimming and softball. She was granted a full academic scholarship to Georgetown University where she studied international diplomacy and foreign relations. While at Georgetown, she worked at the Pentagon (Defense Dept.) for Colin Powell. In her sophomore year, Aimee heard about a track meet in Boston for amputees. Without any formal training in track and field, Aimee entered the 100 and 200 meter dashes and the long jump. That meet, she set US records in the 100 and long jump. Back at Georgetown with Gold around her neck, she decided to contact the Georgetown University track coach (the legendary Frank Gagliano) for a try out. Georgetown University is a division 1 school which offers full athletic scholarships. After three months of private training with him, she earned a spot on the team. After Aimee made the team, laterthat season she qualified to run in the Big East Championship track meet. Aimee demonstrates many talents including helping to design the carbon fiber artifiAimee Mullins cial limbs she runs with. Aimee graduated from Georgetown Summa Cum Laude. She has become an accomplished actor and runway model and has been ranked People's magazine top 50 most beautiful people for several years. MH: I remember once you told me that when you were 16, your first driving experience was in a Porsche 911 Carrera with a Tiptronic transmission on an airport runway? AM: It was actually my first experience driving a manual transmission, and it was the car of a friend who shared my love of flying. We went out to a small, familiar airport runway and I practiced driving stick shift all around
Big East Track Meet
AM: What’s to say? It’s the winning combination for any person or any company. It’s what makes something go beyond just being “good” to becoming iconic, standing the test of time and having the relevance of being trailblazers for each coming generation. Here are a few of Aimee’s awards and accomplishments: Lead actress in the A&E Agatha Christie’s Poirot drama series, named to HBO’s list of “Up and Coming” actors, named to Rolling Stone Magazine’s annual “Hot List”, featured in the Track and Field Hall of Fame, named as one of Sports Illustrated’s 2001 “Coolest Girls In Sports, named “The 50 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People Magazine.

Needs More Cowbell... by Mike Holloway, Slipstream Managing Editor
S
ometimes if you are going to play the part, you have to talk the part. Anyone wanting to get into autocross (AX), track racing and even rallies should know some of the common (and not-so-common) jargon, slang words and phrases. I got together with a bunch of friends and here are a few we came up with. These are the things they don’t teach you in DE.
Jesus Handle: If you are carrying a passenger this part of the car will help to indicate how hard you were driving. It is so named this because this is usually who the passenger screams for to save them from a particularly late braking corner entry. Keep it Between the Grass: Stay on the asphalt, don't fly off the track. Keep the Shiny Side Up: Be safe, don't flip your car. Landscaper: A car that early apexes. Late Apex: When the car is nearest the inside of a turn later on in the turn.
Adding Perspective: Making the things in the mirror look smaller.
Late Brake: Passing in the braking zone.
Back Marker: Lapped traffic.
Leaning On: (see "NASCAR pass")
Balled Up: The condition of a car after a major off and contact with something solid. Bench Racing: Discussing what an awesome driver you are after the race / event is over.
Line: Simply the quickest way around a race circuit. To run the fastest racing line, a driver must take advantage of all of his abilities as well as that of the race car, taking advantage of a racer's braking, cornering and acceleration techniques.
Big Moment: See “Tank Slapper”
Loose: Going off the road backwards.
Boy Racer: The guy that shoes up to DE with every imaginable racing item and only does DE's.
Marbles: Small bits of rubber that have broken off tires during a race. 'Marbles' are usually found in the corners of American Le Mans Series road racing circuits, often gathering on the outside of the racing line.
Brain Fade: Stupid mistake by driver usually occurs in corners or when attempting to out brake someone in a higher class. Brown Out: What happens during a scary "Off" or "Tank Slapper". Bus Stop: A Chicane built into the track in order to slow down the pace at that section of the track. (aka "The Inner Loop" at Watkins Glen) Cayenneing or Farming: An off track excursion. Clag or Klag or Pick-up: Refers everything that sticks to the hot race tires, mostly rubber from off line. Collect: Hit another car. For example: the guy spun out and stopped in the middle of the track just waiting for someone to collect him.
Meatball Flag: (Black flag with Red dot in the middle): mechanical problem with your car. Momentum Car: A low hp car. NASCAR Pass: Bumping another car while passing them; or bumping them to allow you to get past them. Sometimes shortened to "NASCAR'ed". Needs More Cowbell: Often heard in the pits. No one really understands what it means, but it sounds cool. Opposite Lock: Making a left hand turn but yet turning the steering wheel full right.
Cornering on its Door-Handles: The car has lots of body roll, lean.
PEBSAS Issue: A bad driver. (Problem Exists Between Seat and Steering wheel).
Crossed Up: Usually the direct result of a severe "tank slapper".
Pit Tootsie: Scantily dressed women in the pits.
Dialed In or Sorted: Refers to optimum chassis or engine setup. Dicing: Fighting for track position with another competitor.
Pucker Factor: Just how scary something was. ("That one had a pretty high pucker factor, there!")
Earlied: Took the early-apex line through a corner.
Pull a Monty: Anyone who pulls a Montoya like suicide move.
Early Apex: When the car is nearest the inside of a turn earlier on in the turn.
Push / Plow or The Car's Tight: Under-steer.
Floor Pedal: Either when you go to hit the brake and it goes to the floor (see pucker factor) or when your instructor or passenger makes braking motions in the passenger seat.
Push: Going off the road front-end first. Red Mist: Anger that makes you do stupid things
Freight Train: Line of cars in single file.
Roll: As in 4 wheel drift not roll-over .
Groove: The clean line that provides the fastest way around the circuit. The groove can change during the course of a race depending on track conditions, e.g., heat, cold, moisture, etc., as well as oil, water and rubber from the race cars.
Rolling Chicane: Stupid back marker.
Ran Away And Hid: built up a huge lead.
Sideways: Significant over-steering. Slingshot: Drafting for a pass.
Hole-shot: A good start.
Shunt: Smacking a wall with your car.
Hooked Up: Means: Having good traction.
Tail-out: (see "Sideways")
Hunan: Sound heard when a Porsche passes by on the track. You have to add the Doppler sound effect Huuuuuuunaaaaaaaann!
Tank Slapper: (from bikes, only slang for cars) waggling the tail back and forth uncontrollably.
Hustling the Car: A driver's ability to push the race car to the limit, even if it is not handling well. A critical factor in determining that winning edge. Winning drivers adjust and adapt better to overcome mechanical or weather related problems.
Unplanned Agricultural Excursion: Going off course. Wall Tats: Short for wall tattoos where a car has hit the wall and leaves a mark.
Invisible Flag: The blue (you are about to be passed) flag.
Zen Thing: You know it when it happens, words can’t explain it.
14
Throttle Steer: Turning the car by the amount of gas you give it.

Goodyear Eagle 25th Anniversary By Joel Nannis
We had to have the cars at the Gaylord at 10AM on January 30. There were a few requirements in order to bring the cars into the hall. You had to have less than a quarter of a tank of gas and once inside, the positive terminal needed to be disconnected and the gas cap had to be secured. These requirements were sent several times. Unfortunately, the car in front of me had just filled up with 24 gallons and was not allowed into the show. The cars were led into the hall and placed in no particular order.

n December Lanean informed me that Goodyear was looking for cars for a dealer conference. The process for selection was to submit a picture of your car between the years of 1981 and 2005. I submitted my 1981 928. In January I received notification that my car was one of 25 cars out of 104 entries that had been selected. As an incentive for showing the car I received a set of new Goodyear Eagles. The show was at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapvine. I had the tires mounted, polished the car and was off to the show.

Goodyear provided a tremendous spread of free food and drink. I found out that 1800 people were attending the conference. As I was wandering around, several NASCAR drivers were led in to sign autographs. They were Bill Elliott (my favorite driver), Rusty Wallace, and Ricky Rudd. I had them sign the shirt that Goodyear provide and will put it under glass. In addition, they had 6 fabulous impersonators. Dolly Parton was one of them and did she look good!

The fire marshall inspected the cars around noon and we were free until 6PM when the show started. In addition, they provided a room at the Gaylord for anyone showing their car who wanted to stay the night. I showed back up around 6 in the Goodyear racing shirt that was also provided. We had no particular function to perform. Many of us stayed around our cars to answer any questions. There was a box in front of each car so the people could vote for the car they liked the best.
Joel with his Favorite Driver Bill Elliott
The show ended around 10:30, so I loaded up the car and then enjoyed my beautiful and spacious room. An e-mail came the next week saying that the top voted was a 2003 Chevrolet SSR that had the engine chromed and had digital read outs in the dash and rear license plate. It also had LED’s along the inside of the hood, interior, door handles, etc. The owner, Tom Snodgrass (not ours), received an all expense paid trip to the Brickyard 400. The next two highest voted for cars received paid trips to Bob Bondurant Driving school for 2 and seven others received another set of tires. Goodyear really went all out for this show! What an honor it was to be part of it. Thanks, Goodyear! 16

Later they were giving out awards to the dealers and they brought in Richard Petty and Darrell Waltrip. Unfortunately, they were led out as quickly as they were led in. No chance to get their autographs. The show included all sorts of items that the dealers could sell like rims and tire changers as well as many items from vendors for the dealers to improve their bottom line.

Early 911 Restoration: No. 6 by Charles Freeman the metal from rust. I had decided very early on to use POR15 as a preventative undercoat. This works differently than most other rust inhibitors I have seen. It works by forming a barrier for rust to travel. Most other inhibitors undergo a chemical reaction to convert the iron oxide to a more stable form. The product information for the POR15 says it is very tough and impact resistant. Therefore, I decided to use it on the floorpan, trunk, wheel wells, and engine bay.
S
Well, things are now starting to look a little better for me. The car is starting to be reassembled! I finally got the floorpan welded in and am quite pleased with the quality of the welding. My father and brother are welding inspectors and their impression of the weld quality was favorable. Of course I did the typical amateur welder job of probably welding too much. After I used the rosette welds (making a mushroom-like puddle in the middle of the drilled out spot weld) I put a continuous bead of weld around the entire car. I figured better safe than sorry. However, I did employ a technique called “stitch-welding”. This is where you weld a little line, say 2 inches, then skip 6 inches forward, then weld 2, and so on. Again this is to prevent too much heat build up in the sheet metal. I will say that when I stopped welding sometimes I could hear the metal popping because of heat distortion. After seeing the bare insides of the car I was almost shocked to find the small amount of metal that keeps my backside from touching the road!

So, the floorpan is in place but I do have a small gap where the steering rack goes. To make a secure connection, I bought some 20 gauge sheet metal to overlap the old and new sections of floorpan.
There are a lot of bends and angles in this location, so I decided to patch the gap with many small pieces about 4 inches square. I had to hand form every inch of the piece because of the multiple compound angles and curves. This was very challenging and rewarding at the same time. All I had to work with was a small body hammer and the anvil on my 5 inch bench vise. I had to be very creative as to how I was going to form the sheet metal. Every piece took at least an hour to form. I had to shape it, lie on my back to check it, re-shape, lie on my back, re-shape, etc. I took my time with this process because I knew I needed intimate contact between the metal to get a good weld. When I had a piece ready, I tack-welded it in place. That is very challenging because you can’t really get the MIG weld gun in the tight confines of this area. I had to be a little creative to make this work. Also, since I am upside down all of the sparks will drop down on me. I got a few nice burns from this task. I could have invested in a nice leather welder’s jacket, but I am just too cheap. With the floorpan done I needed to think about how to protect 20

ome of you have asked former editor, Matt Platts, if you can contact me and I welcome the opportunity to discuss my project with you. Just get with Matt as he has my contact information.
I had to remove the undercoating from these areas using a propane torch, spatula, and wire wheel. It is very difficult to get into the inner rear fender area but I felt it was important to verify that there was no rust hidden deep in the structure. I also wanted to make sure that I would seal it with the POR15 which adheres best to “seasoned” metal. Once the undercoating was removed I lightly sanded the metal to provide good adhesion. I prepared the metal surface as instructed by the manufacturer and was ready to apply the paint. POR15 is a watery thin liquid that the manufacturer recommends applying with a paint brush. It can be sprayed but must be thinned to apply correctly. Using paint brushes was cheaper and didn’t require me to buy a spray gun. The instructions recommend wearing gloves as once the paint has dried it cannot be removed from skin until the skin is shed by natural processes. I also used a respirator for organic solvents. So after using a tack rag to verify that the car was perfectly clean, I mixed up some of the paint and began to apply it to the bottom of the car. I soon realized that the paint was so thin that it would run down the paint brush, over my gloves and right down my sleeve. I was extra careful to not lie under where I was painting at that point and to stay away from areas already painted. Since the paint is thin, it would run and drip off of the car so there are a lot of little puddles on my garage floor. After I completed painting the floorpan I took off the respirator and almost passed out from the fumes in my garage (the garage door was open!). Man, that is powerful stuff. Well, by the time I finished painting the underside of the car, the paint had dried on my arm. I tried to remove it by pouring thinner on my skin, no luck. Then I tried brake cleaner, no luck. This stuff sticks to your skin just like the manufacturer says. By the way, being an old chemist, it was common for us to clean our hands in what is now considered to be carcinogenic. So, unless you want to shorten your life, don’t pour chemicals on your body! It took about 3 weeks to come off my arm (my co-workers quietly wondered what disease I had since I had these large black spots on me).
At a later date I painted the front and rear inner fender area, the engine bay, and the interior of the car. If you’re counting, this took 4 quart size cans at $32 each. The manufacturer recommends that two coats be applied. In order to fill some small holes around the car I bought some POR epoxy. This is a two-part epoxy that is activated by water. I used this material to smooth out the rough weld joints and any small holes. After this I would apply the second POR15 coat. Because it had been 2 months since I applied the first coat of POR I had to scuff sand the first coat to give the second one something to “bite” to. I used some 180 grit sandpaper I had lying around to scuff all the areas then applied the final coat of POR15. This only took 2 quart size cans (I did not paint the passenger compartment with a second coat). The POR15 is available in clear, silver, flat, or gloss black. I tried both the flat and gloss black. I prefer the shine of the gloss black. However, it is tough to tell where I painted previously. My recommendation would be to use the flat black, then put a coat of gloss so that you can tell where it has been painted. The paint does not leave a perfect finish as it has some runs and experiences solvent pop (evaporation of solvent under the hardened outer surface resulting in a small bubble that has popped). It is my plan to leave the inner fenders, trunk, and engine bay with the gloss black paint. It is my understanding that the very early 911s had black inner fender wells up until about 1972. I kind of like this look as it gives a nice contrast to the red paint I plan on using. Additionally, some owners I have discussed this with say that when fender wells get dirty the black is more difficult to tell versus the color matched.

New Member Party by Jean Frick I was enjoying this conversation immensely and noticed that Dave was still visiting with Michael, the red 356 owner – so motioned for them to come on over. We introduced Jack and Michael, and they shook hands and then studied each other a bit…seemed like they had met before, but thought it was probably at a 356 meeting.

ave and I were excited to be going to the New Member Party. After all, we attended our first New Member Party back in 2003 BEFORE the February delivery of Dave’s new Boxster. He only had the VIN number, but had already joined PCA, and we were anxious to meet other Porsche owners. We were welcomed by the great folks in the Maverick Region and learned about the many activities available to us. So here we came, ready to meet new members and share the love of cars with them. We were pleased to have such a good turnout, but after all, the weather was BEAUTIFUL …who wouldn’t want to be out on a day like that?

This went on, then suddenly it clicked – they had raced on the same team 15 years ago. Back then there was an indoor Go Cart track out on White Settlement called the Indoor Grand Prix. They held endurance races with 5 on a team, going 250 laps. Jack drove there often, and one night his team was short a driver. You can guess the rest…Michael Epping was there as a single driver in a team set-up. As he stood around Jack asked him to fill in on his team. They
Early on we met Michael Epping, a nice young fellow who has a red 356. Since Dave had a 356 in college at Penn State, they enjoyed a brief discussion. Meanwhile, I came up to someone I had not seen before…but looking at his nametag, I immediately recognized the name. I had seen messages from Jack Griffin on the Maverick discussion group frequently. He spends a lot of time with other Porsche groups – the 356 Club, 914 Club, and 912 Club. He is very interested in vintage rallies and tours. He doesn’t attend many Mav events, but had come that day, in his black 356.

continued to drive together for 2 or 3 months, then Michael left Texas for about 12 years. He moved back a couple of years ago, now lives in Keller, and had come to the New Member party to find other 356 owners. Imagine standing there as they put it all together. Whatever your favorite car is, this time it was the 356 that brought them back together. Just another example of what can happen at our Mav events…expect the unexpected.
