FEBRUARY 2020

Always soulful. Never static. The new Taycan has arrived at Park Place. It’s the first all-electric Porsche ever produced—and a high-performance sports car through and through. With two permanent-magnet synchronous motors generating up to 750 hp and acceleration faster than a skydiver in free fall. Plus, an 800-volt battery that can be partially recharged to add up to 62 miles of range in just over five minutes. And this uncompromising Porsche comes equipped with a uniquely personal dealership experience.

That’s what makes Park Place feel like Your Place.

Board Botschaft: Jumping In with Both Feet by Jennifer Parma, Region Secretary What a way to start off 2020 . . . as Region Secretary! If you had asked me a year ago what my club involvement would look like now, my response would have been that it surely would not have been a board position! I purchased my ‘07 Midnight Blue Boxster I call “Indie” a couple of years ago on a whim - literally. I saw, I drove, I bought . . . all on the same day. I had never owned a Porsche before, or knew anything about them for that matter. I was scrolling through a Facebook page where a friend of a friend listed it for sale. I scrolled past it, then back to it several times, falling in love with the beautiful lines with each view. I took the car out for a test drive and knew I had to have that beauty in my garage. It wasn’t until about a year later that I discovered there was a local Porsche club that held events. My first event I attended was the Porsche Promenade at Brookhaven Country Club in 2018. I had such a great time that day . . . I was hooked! I began attending Mavs & Mochas on a regular basis while forming friendships along the way. I made it official and joined PCA a few months later, and in March 2019 I attended the Tour and All Member Party. It was my first organized drive and I had a blast! The Maverick Region received multiple awards that morning,

one of which was the Membership Growth Award for 2018. I looked around the room at some already familiar faces and some new ones, too, and felt very proud to be a part of such a wonderful and dedicated organization. I

am looking forward to the 2020 All Member Party again this year on March 22. In 2019, our region’s membership increased by nearly 180 new members, so there will be something to celebrate! Mark your calendars: registration for this event opens February 1. Please encourage any new member you may know to attend. So. Now I’m on the Executive Board for the Maverick Region. In just a little over a year from my very first event; you can say I have jumped in with both feet. I am proud to be serving with others on the board who have experience, dedication and the love of Porsches and the people who drive them. And remember, if you need anything - anything at all - just ask the President. ;)

MAV OF THE MONTH: Scott Kerfoot Scott has been a member with the PCA for close to five years. Often, when you see him at one of our many events or a Porsche Pop-Up, you’ll notice he’s always dressed to match the beautiful color of his Carmon Red 996 GT3. Scott is always willing to help out when ever needed. Most recently he has provided his ideas and skills to help simplify the voting for our People’s Choice Car Shows. Scott already has more ideas about how to bring information and voting to our fingertips with digital apps on our smartphones. Scott is full of knowledge and willing to share when it comes to turning wrenches on our Porsches. Scott is just one example of how our club stays “Fueled by Volunteers.” Please join me in Congratulating Scott as our Maverick of the Month. 2 February

You’re Invited: 2020 All Member Party By Debi Kruder, Region Social Chair Over 350 Mavericks drove at least 40 miles for last year’s “Alle Mitglieder,” our annual All Member social, to get to what proved to be well worth the drive for an amazing All Member Morning: two events for over 3000 members! That event last year boasted the largest annual social event in Maverick history, with a record number of participants. With a turnout like that how could we not do a repeat?

photos by Michael Durovick

The morning kicks off with the first driving tour of the year, consisting of 45 miles of pure country bliss. Enjoy the cattle ranches and horse farms among the roar of more than 100 engines while traveling through the towns of Van Alstyne, Weston, Celina, Pilot Point, Tioga, and finally arriving to our destination Gunter,

Porsche flags will line the drive and our Maverick volunteers will greet you to assist in parking. As you walk around the circle drive you will see the gorgeous fountain and enter the barn door, immediately smelling a most delicious country breakfast bar, including eggs, smoked applewood bacon, sausage patties, breakfast potatoes, and fresh seasonal fruit. What was last year’s crowd favorite? The Southern Biscuit Bar, and we’ve made sure to double our order of the warm biscuits, buttermilk fried chicken, and all the toppings! Mingle, eat, and enjoy the Bubbly Bar and Bloody Marys as we welcome our new members too! Nearly a third in attendance last year were new members, and it’s the perfect place to meet and get connected with club opportunities. Our Maverick officers and chair representatives will be on site to showcase the 2020 events we are so excited about. Rumor has it our new President, Bill Kruder, will also be introducing a new Maverick award Crest Club that’s sure to make the All Member Morning extra special too!

TX. The tour begins at 10 am, departing Van Alystne on the beloved FM 455, with a registration fee of $5 per Porsche. And what waits in Gunter, TX? Well, the 2020 All Member Brunch begins at 11 am at One Preston Event Center Carriage House, Chapel, and Victorian Estate. The property will leave you speechless. It’s a gorgeous space with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and barn doors overlooking acres of lush landscaping with great patios and the largest number of Porsches you are sure to see in one place!

So, do you want to spend March 22 with nearly 350 Mavericks on a casual country morning at one of the most talked about events of 2020? Registration opens Saturday, February 1. Take advantage of the early registration discount of $25 per person (tour & brunch) by registering this month. Registration increases after March 1. New members are our special guests with FREE registration discount codes available; email socials@ mavpca.org to get yours!

That’s right Mavs . . . our All Member Morning is Sunday, March 22, thanks to our sponsor Autobahn, and it will not disappoint!

A Brief History of The MineralRing by Carey Spreen, related to him by Bob Manskey The year 2019 marked the end of an era for the Maverick began selling concessions at the venue, and they soon were Region Time Trial and Autocross series. As of January 1, able to purchase their first jaws-of-life using the proceeds. 2020, the large concrete pad next to Mineral Wells Airport, Maverick Region laid out three to four “permanent” affectionately known as The MineralRing, was closed to time trial courses, which we rotated through during each motorsports use.

did tech inspections, and generally ran safe events. In contrast, there were the “drift clubs,” which had little to no organization, no one responsible, and no safety-related rules, which was a show-stopper for Bob. Early on, Bob had allowed one motorcycle group to use the facility; one rider fell, breaking an arm, and when they left, they didn’t pay for the rental. That set the tone for the “no motorcycle” rule: from that point on, only four-wheeled vehicles were allowed. Incidentally, that broken arm was the only injury ever sustained there during a driving event. Over the years, the city tried to take back portions of the site, claiming that they had requests from local businesses to pay for the use of the area. Over the years, the original site shrank, forcing the reconfiguration of the fencing, but the car clubs still kept coming, so Bob kept renting. Around 2011, the city restricted use of the site to just weekends, plus the occasional Friday on special request. Finally, in 2019, the city gave Bob the fateful news that they would be terminating the lease and taking back the site to build additional hangars. With no recourse, Bob had no choice but to relinquish control of the site, contacting all of the car clubs that had asked for 2020 dates to let them know that the site would no longer be available as of January 1, 2020. Farewell MineralRing, and thank you Bob Manskey for keeping it available to us for the last 32 years!

Tech Session Recap: Werks 11 by Rob Adams

photos provided by Author

It doesn’t take much to persuade a gaggle of Mavericks to gather for a road trip, and that certainly proved to be true in mid-November, when over a dozen members attended a

After a robust tech and Q&A session, the members of both regions traveled a few minutes further south to Salado, where we were hosted by the Stagecoach Inn. Famous for

remote tech session at Werks 11 in Temple, TX. At about 10 am, the sleepy streets of downtown Temple erupted with the raspy exhaust of Porsches arriving from all directions, including PCA members from the Hill Country Region. Michael Baynton and Charlie Sparks coordinated the adventure to attend a workshop conducted by Army veteran Julian Avent and his Werks 11 crew.

being the oldest restaurant in Texas, it provides some of Temple’s finest cuisine. What a great day for a road trip to a truly fascinating destination!

If you don’t already know about Werks 11, Julian started repairing, restoring, and custombuilding Porsches shortly after he got out of the armed services several years ago. He chose Temple for its charm and cost of living, but later realized it was perfectly located between the major metro areas of Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, all of which feature a large number of Porsche owners. A stroll through the shop excites any gearhead’s senses, and especially Porsche owners. From a collection of racing 914s to 912s to air-cooled 911s, there’s eye candy everywhere. My favorite toy was the slate grey “outlaw” he built for a client that is personalized to the highest degree. And not surprisingly, Werks 11 does almost all of the work in-house. If you haven’t seen their craftsmanship, be sure to view the videos at Werks11.com. But it wasn’t just a showroom tour. The tech session was very informative, providing an education of what to watch out for when buying an older Porsche, with plenty of examples in the shop. Julian also talked about some of the more common modifications that Porsche owners request, and what factors to consider when upgrading your air- or water-cooled Porsche. 12 February

In other words... I had the chance to take the trip down to Temple with the group and thoroughly enjoyed the drive, the conversation, the Q&A and the back lot. While we were looking at the rusted shell of a donor car, something caught my eye. Something VERY 80’s. As a kid I loved the factory cars, but something about the shear excess of the tuner cars held my fascination. Well, here in the back with all of the other unloved ‘projects’ sat what appears to be a Rinspeed R69, pictured below. Rinspeed isn’t exactly reserved and this car is no exception. Remember that these things sold for $79,000, in 1985! Based on a 911 turbo, the interior was a thing to behold. I don’t know what their plans are for the car, but if you’ve ever wanted a Testarossa AND and an aircooled 911, give Julian a call, I’m sure you can work out a deal. - Kurt Scaggs, managing editor

The Porsche Playground by Brady Stogner, Region PCA Juniors Liaison

I’m Brady Stogner (age 11); I have been a PCA Junior now for two years. I am starting off a new series of articles called The PCA Playground. These articles will be a quarterly column for lots of different topics here in Slipstream. In this edition I will be going over Playmobil’s new remote control Porsche Mission-E. Playmobil has created this toy after the Porsche all-electric concept “Mission-E” project that we all now know will be the production 2020 Taycan. The car has real working LED headlights and the new tail light bar, just like the real cars. When letting go of the throttle you will see real working brake lights. The remote allows

The Mission-E is the first of the Porsche Playmobil cars to be remote controlled and, like the real car, it’s all-electric, powered by 4 AAA batteries.

you to turn the lights on and off too. You can also change the speed to five different levels. This car was just featured in the new Playmobil: The Movie; the name of the character that drives the car is Rex Dasher. To give you an idea about Rex Dasher: he is more of a James Bond type character except he drives a Porsche instead of an Aston Martin. I hope you enjoyed my review! If you’d like to add the Mission-E to your toy car collection, you can get one on Amazon. Until next time, I’ll see you on the playground.

Porsche Tire Scrubbing by John Hamilton

photos provided by Paul Moseley

Have you noticed that your Porsche’s front end makes a “chunk – chunk – chunk” noise especially now in colder weather? Especially while turning when backing up or going forward slowly. Happy to report: this is perfectly normal in a Porsche (whew!).

Here are the causes: 1. Cold tires. When tires are cold they are less-flexible and therefore more prone to make that noise as they try to navigate a turn while driving slowly. 2. Wide tires are more prone to the scrubbing effect. Since the inside and outside of the tires have a different radius while turning, the tire tries to compromise by jumping to make up the difference. 3. Under-inflated tires. While properly inflated tires will still scrub when cold, they are less apt to scrub if inflated to the proper pressure. 4. Front-end design. Porsche front steering is ingeniously designed to reduce the turning radius by not only turning the wheels, but by also angling the wheels as is done on farm tractors, road maintainers and road levelers. The benefit is a smaller turning radius at all times (not only when the tires are cold). That’s it! Now you know the answer to what’s been bothering you. And you don’t have to pay for getting anything “fixed” on you Porsche. Drive on!

Maverick Marktpreis: 964 RS America by Peter Wen The RS badge has always had a special meaning for Porschephiles. It stands for “Rennsport,” which is “racing” in German. The term RS is a huge part of Porsche’s racing heritage. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the iconic 1973 Carrera RS, Porsche gifted us the RS America (RSA) in 1993. With only 701 examples produced between 1993 and 1994, this special edition was only available in North America. Based on the Carrera 2 coupe, the RSA was all about light weight (and performance). It went on a strict diet and shed 77 lbs. It offered a minimalist interior with no power steering, no door pulls, no radio and no A/C. Only four options were offered: electric

sunroof, Limited Slip Differential, radio/cassette stereo, and A/C. The rear seats were removed for the 1993 model year but returned in 1994. With so many parts removed, Porsche actually priced the RSA $10,000 below a fully equipped Carrera 2. That was the last time Porsche Marketing made that mistake! Today, RSA is a bona fide Porsche collectible. It is worth two and a half to three times the cost of a mere mortal 964. However, as the market has gone soft on most air-cooled Porsches, the value of an averagecondition RSA has declined more than 15% since 2017. An excellent-condition RSA fared better with a 6% decline.

Fun fact: The RS America came with electric windows same as all 964 911s. The much lighter manually cranked windows were not used because that would have required expensive and time consuming re-certification and crash testing.

Coffee, Cars & Conversation by Bill Kruder Well this one was fun! Not often you get to meet three for the price of one. The first time we met was kind of early in the Mavs & Mochas days when we would get 50-75 cars and we could fit into a venue the likes of Snider Plaza in University Park. It also was a rare appearance of our daughter Carson attending. As it turned out, we struck up the conversation that she was attending MSU, and next thing you know it was a connection. As time went on, it was more often than not that, if you saw this dad out, his posse of two was close behind. You may even know the boys even if you don’t know dad. The boys are always helping us out, directing traffic at a M&M, writing for the magazine, or checking you in at the Founders Day party.

photos provided by author BK: So what brought you to DFW? LS: That’s where the jobs seem to be. I was hired by AT&T in the Wireless Division and was with them for two years. Then the industry seem be imploding, with so many being condensed or gobbled up. As it turned out, I was caught up in a reduction in force and was out of work for about six months. Well, I say out of work, but I ended up getting a job doing field work; that is, I was the guy that had to climb

BK: So Brady I hear you play sports? BS: Yes, I play spring soccer and fall football through the Flower Mound Sports Association. Next year I can start playing on the school teams. You have to be in 7th grade to do that.

Landon, Corbin, and Brady Stogner: Members since 2016, Owner, Black 2010 997.2 Cab

BK: So you went to Midwestern State University? Our two girls are graduates. LS: I did! I started at Vernon College then transferred to MSU. I started out thinking I wanted to be a business major until I took a basic computer class and I couldn’t get enough. I quickly changed my focus and went into Computer Info Systems. 20 February

BK: So Corbin I understand you are interested in theater? CS: I am. I started when I was in about 3rd grade; there is this program called “Little Bit of Broadway” for kids in grades 3-5. I think that helped me get the lead roles in our school’s UIL OneAct Competition play. BK: Corbin, I hear you are pretty involved at school too? CS: I guess so. I’m the 8th grade sports manager for our school and I assist each of the coaches. I also work as a student aid in the school library.

So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you . . .

Bill Kruder: So I know you are not originally from here; where again? Landon Stogner: I’m a Texan born and raised in Wichita Falls; it’s about two hours northwest of Dallas. Actually I’m a third generation Wichita Fallian; never strayed t0o far, having attended grammar school through college in basically the same city. Matter of fact I graduated from the same high school, Rider H.S., as my dad and aunt (his sister). My mom graduated from the crosstown rival (Wichita Falls High).

BK: What’s your favorite subject? CS: That would be history. BS: I like English. We read and research subjects then have to write recaps.

Landon with his boys, Corbin and Brady

ladders and did the home and small/ medium business installs. BK: So this led you to your Verizon career? LS: It did. About six months after losing my AT&T job I was hired by Verizon Wireless and 18 years later I’m still there. BK: And what is that you do again? LS: Well I’m on the technical side of the business. I work on the transport design for what connects between the cell tower and the data switching center. BK: Ok Dad - sit back. I need talk to these two young guys. Corbin you first, how old are you? Corbin Stogner: I’m 13 and in 8th grade. Brady Stogner: I’m 11 and in 6th grade.

BK: Ok, we know what your dad’s favorite car is. How about you two? CS: It would have to be a Mustang or a Tesla model X; my ultimate car is the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. BS: Mine is a Mustang Bullitt. BK: So dad, what was your first car? LS: Ha! It was a 1986 Ford Ranger pickup my dad found in the newspaper. It had no paint on the hood and it was just nasty on the inside. That didn’t deter me though. Overtime I kind of restored it and when I was done I sold it for more than we paid. BK: So you have a knack for cars. Where’s that come from? LS: Well both my dad and grandfather were pretty hands-on with cars and I was there lending a hand, holding the shop light and passing wrenches, helping change the oil, what ever they needed help with.

BK: So Landon, why a Porsche? LS: It goes back to when I was nine years old. I remember saving up and bought an ‘88 911 slant-nose model to build. Then there was the movie Risky Business with the infamous 928 and U-boat commander that forever stuck with me. My dream was the 993 Turbo which happened to line up with me becoming driving age. I still have the framed poster hanging on my wall in my home office.

to three days to agree on the price but that’s history. There were 70k miles on the car and it recently has become my daily driver so now I’m pushing 116k miles with no issues.

BK: And what made you buy the cab? LS: Well I wasn’t looking for cab. I had done some research and knew I wanted a 997 based on my budget. I looked at two or three others before finding this one thru Carlink. They had this California car I inquired about online, and once they discovered I was local they said to come over and see it. I got there and they basically tossed me the keys and said to take it out and let them know what I thought. So I did, top down, wind in my hair (laughing), and I was hooked on a cab. It took us two

BK: So Corbin I hear you have big plans? CS: Well kind of. I want to go to SMU and get two degrees, one being math. After college I want to go to culinary school and open my own business. It would be a bakery that would be open in the mornings and then reopen later for lunch and dinner.

BK: Back to the boys. Dad, if you had to describe their personalities in a word using only coffee or cars, who’s what? LS: That’s pretty easy! Corbin is Coffee and Brady is Cars (and with smiles across the table the boys concur he passed the test.)

BK: Brady what would you say would be your favorite Maverick moment? BS: I think that would be when Debi (our Social Chair) asked me to write something on last years All Member Party. Now that was pretty cool!

BK: and Corbin? CS: That would be the M&M at the Frisco Rail Yard. The three of us along with Robert Kendrick helped direct traffic. It also when I really got to know Mike O’Hare (interesting lol). BK: So Brady, I hear you are a bit of car collector? BS: It’s true. I have over 200 Hot Wheels. It’s a bit of everything but my favorite is the yellow 996 cab. So I know what you are thinking. I’m going to say as I do every month as I write the interview: what if . . . ? What if I had not met Landon and the boys? What if I had not had the chance to get to know Landon and recommend him to be our current Volunteer Chair? So yes, I will say it again. If and when you meet someone new, someone old, don’t miss out on “Driving Friendships!”

My First Porsche by Jerry DeFeo (From the editor: This article was first published in the February 2000 issue of Slipstream Tom Martin brought to my attention as a great blast from the past. Tom provided additional editing to the original story)

It was the fall of 1966 in Miami, Florida. I was 20 years old, attending junior college, trying to keep out of trouble with my Mom, and raising $91.20 a month to pay for my ‘65 Pontiac GTO, equipped with three deuces and a four-speed. I had noticed a few Porsches here and there, but in 1966, no street Porsche could stay with my GTO. Of course, that referred to quarter mile runs with my circle of friends. One of the neatest Porsches I saw was a ‘63 356B Super 90 convertible that Skip Ryder (yes, daddy owned Ryder Trucks) had rolled while he was still in high school. Well, I had a job that summer at the body shop where he had it repaired. Not only did I get to work on it, I got to take it out for the test drive. Boy did I catch hell when I got back 30 minutes later. They did not buy my reason that I needed to make sure it handled OK at high speeds. After all, it had been rolled! But it handled like a go-kart with a four-speed, and I was hooked. The shop also had a ‘63 Jaguar XKE convertible I had to final test drive about two weeks later. Anyway, a friend told me about a red Porsche he had seen one morning on the used car lot at a North Miami Ford dealership. I went up there and a salesman showed it to me saying that they just took it in on trade, and apologized for not having it cleaned up yet. It was a faded bright red color and had a so-so black interior. It also had some rust (this was Miami by the sea, you know, salt water in the air) and in fact every time one opened the driver’s door, the 26 February

bottom three inches of the door would catch on the body and slide outside the fender towards the front wheel. But I had worked for a body shop - that was when you could get a reasonable paint job for $50 - and besides, I had all the time in the world. The salesman at the dealership asked if I was 21 (you had to be 21 to buy a car in Florida back then), to which I promptly lied and said “yes”! He was really a nice guy and was so anxious to sell a car that day; he offered it to me for $650 and even said he would give me a 30-day 50/50 warranty if anything went wrong. Well the clutch was already slipping just a shade so I took the deal. I put down $5 (yes - FIVE dollars) to hold the car until I could go get the money and return. I had some of it and had to borrow $300 from a friend’s dad (that is another story). I returned to the dealer with the cash and took it to a known Porsche mechanic in South Miami. He and I had met before when I raced against a ’66 427 Cobra that he had prepared, and beat it with my ‘65 GTO (also another story). Anyway, he said that the car needed a new pressure plate, clutch disc, throw-out bearing, all the brake cylinders rebuilt (I did not know that any cars had two brake cylinders per wheel), tuneup, shift linkage bushings, wheel bearings repacked, and an oil and filter change. The total: some $355. (That kind of looks pretty good today, huh? What do you think, Ed Mayo?) Well, the Used Car Sales Manager at the Ford dealer was not a happy camper. They gave the original owner $600 as a tradein, sold me the car for $650, and then wrote a check to the garage I selected (since they had no idea how to work on it) for some $178 so as to honor the 50/50 warranty.

I think they lost! But at 20 years old I had a great running ‘61 Porsche 356B Normal with a great clutch and brakes, with about 1/4 of the driver’s door sliding along the body every time I got in the car. I then took the car to my favorite body shop where they let me use their tools to remove all the chrome, bumpers, and interior. I even got a glass shop to remove and replace the front and rear glass for $15 so as to get a better paint job. I painted it a super bright Porsche red, or so I thought. That thing was so ORANGE it would make any UT alumni proud. To fix the door, other rust, and paint (I did the prep work), it cost about $45. That and some other miscellaneous goodies, the $15 for glass R&R, plus the $178 I paid towards the mechanical, plus the $650, brought the total investment up to about $900. Let’s see now, a five-year-old Porsche (in decent shape) for $900. Those were the days! I was still drag racing my ‘65 GTO on the weekends, turning in the high 13s on street tires through the mufflers. And I could always win my “B” Pure Stock class every Sunday. Well, I should have learned early on that when you do well, somebody always wants to bring you down or insinuate that you were cheating. But no one would just come out and accuse me, nor put up the $65 protest/tear-down fee, so there was a strip protest (I tear down for free to prove I was not cheating). I said I would tear down for the $65 that everyone else got, but not for free. They banned the GTO from West Palm Beach Raceway! But not before I won the ‘65 and ‘66 Florida State Pure Stock Championships with a best time of 13.72 seconds at 105.6 mph. And that was on street tires and through the stock mufflers.

I couldn’t run the GTO anymore, so what class did a ‘61 Porsche 356B Normal Porsche run in? Well, first they said it was a sports car (two seater), but I had seats for four, so they had to assign me to the class of “0” Pure Stock, the lowest class. Remember I only had 60 DIN, or about 70 SAE, horsepower in a 1950 lb. car, which translated to about 28 pounds per horsepower. My race prep was simple. Show up at the track with about ½ tank of gas, and pump the tires up to 50 psi. My racing strategy was even simpler. Be friendly to everyone, say nice things about their cars, come off the line at 5000 rpm, and never “red light.” The fact that I got a 4.5-second head start on the GTOs, 442s, Gran Sports, etc. was devastating to a lot of the competitors. Many would red light just sitting there watching me go down the strip. This is a good time to add that it was not my driving ability or any super mechanical tuning skills that won every week with the little orange Porsche. The fact that the little car could run at least 0.5 second closer to the “0” Stock national record than a GTO could to the “B” Stock record made this car a winner so long as I did not mess up. It was this neat little car! One that ran fantastically, time after time, and was never designed to be a drag racer, needing only the extensive race prep of airing up the tires to 50 psi. Those were the days!

Dear Tire Guy Yes! DE season is back upon us once again and we’re ready for an exciting 2020. So for new PCA members, new DE drivers or even experienced track turners here’s a couple of tips. 1) Tire pressure is one of the most important aspects of tuning your car for the track. Finding this ideal pressure for a track typically involves some trial and error: setting the cold tire pressure based on past experience and then making small adjustments based on driver feedback. If you’re just starting out you’ll be just fine maintaining the OE cold pressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer. As you move through the next few DE's then it may be time to start playing with those pressures, altering them by 1 or 2 psi as you learn the lines.

2) You need the right tires. Race conditions put tires under FAR more duress than normal road driving, so you want to make sure you have something with aggressive grip to keep you firmly planted on the track. If your DE car is also a commuter you will want something that’s also road legal and comfortable, something like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. If you want a dedicated aggressive race set you could look at something like the Michelin Cup 2, Toyo 888R, or the Nitto NT-01. We’re looking forward to seeing all the familiar PCA faces, and getting to meet the new members as well. If you need tires, you know who to call! (Our number is right at the bottom, hint hint) Until next month Drive On! one. That’s who. Until next month, drive on! –The Tire Guy

Mavs & Mochas: Southlake Town Center by Pat Carmichael

photos provided by Jay Miller & Bill Middelton

Oh what a beautiful morning - oh what a beautiful town square. We’re here in the heart of Southlake on a sunny Saturday. It really is unique that a suburb created, from scratch, a town square offering a wonderful place to meet friends, eat all kinds of food, and shop till you drop. A place that is more than a place to gather, but also a chance to look back at an earlier time with trees, walks, fountains,

and Recreation official approached . . . . To make a long story short, even though we have done this at the Southlake Square for several years, from here on out we’re going to have to get a permit. That just requires a couple weeks advanced registration, pay a fee, sing the Southlake official song, or something like that. So we just had to pack up the table, put away the tent, and enjoy the

ponds, and a band gazebo (maybe next year we invite the high school band to play). Oh, and 140+ Porsche Mavs & Mochas participants all scurrying to the Starbucks. The weather cooperated with a really mildly cool day, although it was sunny and bright. It all started peacefully enough as the guys were setting up the little pop-up tent with the table and placing flags. Then a Southlake Parks

rest of the day with each other. Which we did. The cars were awesome. All variety of models and years, as well as most of the color spectrum, was represented. The good thing about the Southlake gathering is it gives the Tarrant county people a chance to pop over. It was so good to see some of the westerners there. All in all another great M&M . . . see y’all next time!

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor

Disclaimer: I get really geeky this month about some questionable cars from the past. If the names aren’t familiar, google them. Seriously, it’s worth it. In the Tech Session article on page 12, I write about an old 911 modified by Rinspeed that was sitting out back watching the world go by. It reminded me of being a kid and all of the crazy, over-the-top cars that were being made from 911’s in the 80’s and 90’s. The made for Miami Vice cars from Strosek, Gemballa (I loved the Gemballa Avalanche), Koenig and more serious cars from DP and RUF were the things of dreams in those days. It wasn’t just 911’s that were defiled, many a BMW and Mercedes recieved gull-wing doors, extra gills and monochromatic paint jobs or ultrawide fenders. Funny that back then a white interior with red piping was the way to go, and today black on black with black everything seems to be the statement. Anyway, times have changed and we’ve matured. Even RWB looks restrained when you look at what was being done back then. But the urge has never really completely passed with us has it? Take a walk around any of our events and you’ll see cars customized to the owners’ individual and yes, sometimes unique tastes. That’s what I love about Porsches.

Most of them aren’t so dear that you expect a letter from the factory if you change something. And it’s just fun to tinker and make them yours. In a responsible ‘can be returned to stock’ kind of way of course. These days in the world of air-cooled cars, we talk about Singer and Gunthewerks among others but the story is the same, a great platform being refined to meet the specific desires and goals of its owner, whatever that may be. Speaking of goals, this month is the quarterly can food drive edition of Mavs&Mochas. Jimmy G, our Charity Chair, hosts a canned food drive 4 times a year at Mavs & Mochas to benefit the North Texas Food Bank. Mavericks have always been generous to this charity and last year donated over 1000 lbs. of food. Let’s beat that in 2020. This is a chance to pay it forward and advance NTFB’s 10-year plan to provide access to 92 million nutritious meals annually by 2025. By donating items like: canned tuna and chicken, peanut butter, boxed meals, canned fruit and veggies, canned soup, and rice and beans, we can help North Texas families feel more secure about their next meal. So pick up some canned food and meet us at RAC. Don’t forget to...Enjoy the Drive.
