o doubt, there were more qualified people that could have held the office, but here I am, the new President of the Maverick Region of the PCA. Looking back, it doesn't seem that long ago when it all started, when I first became a Maverick. While I have owned a wide variety of sports cars over the years, Austin Healy, Jaguar, several Triumphs, I always wanted a Porsche. Finally, in May of '98, I ordered one. After a seemingly endless wait, in Oct. of '98, I was the proud owner of a Silver '99 Boxster. That was all I would ever need. After a lot of help from patient Autocross, Time Trial, and Drivers Education instructors (too many good ones to mention them all) I was starting to feel like I (almost) knew what I was doing. At least, I usually wasn't the slowest one out there.

Then the Boxster S came out - bigger engine, better brakes, improved suspension. I really "needed" one of those; in fact, it would be all I would ever need. More help from ... I

was the proud owner of a Silver '99 Boxster. That was all I would ever need. ... more talented instructors and I was starting to go a little faster. If only I had "R" compound tires, I could really go fast.

Of course, that requires an extra set of wheels, preferably lightweight, and, ideally, a little trailer to get them to and from the track. I recall several of us put hitches on our Boxsters in my garage. Now I was set; that was all I would ever need.

By now, I was moving up to the faster run groups at DE's and, on occasion, turning a really respectable time at an AX or TT. The Boxster S was a daily driver, so there were limits to what I could comfortably do to the suspension, seats, harnesses, etc. If only I had a dedicated track car. That would be all I would ever need. That's when the white 968 came into the picture. When I first got the 968, I used the same small tire trailer I built for the Boxster S. Then I started dreaming of a "real" trailer to haul the 968; that would be all I would ever need. So I bought the trailer our esteemed editor had made for his trip to Parade in Florida. It towed great, but was a little heavy for my tow vehicle. So I obtained a lighter tiltback trailer with an aluminum deck. By the second trailer, it became obvious, I needed a tire rack and tool box built for the trailer, since club racing seems to require lots more "stuff ". By now, you know, that would be all I would ever need.

However, since I am in the early stages of exploring a different tow vehicle, I have been counseled by several fellow racers to buy one with plenty of towing capacity, just in case the perfect enclosed trailer becomes available or a different race car enters the picture. If that happened, it would, for sure, be all I would ever need. At any rate, that's the semi-

condensed version of my Maverick timeline to date. Time sure flies when you’re having fun.

Since our Presidential campaign was less hotly contested than the one with George and John, I didn't have to go out on a limb with a lot of wild promises. That should make life a little easier. I realize it will be difficult to improve on the great job Keith and others before him have done, so I will have the more modest goal of trying not to take too many steps backward. Since I have been in the club, we have always done a very good job of recognizing our AX and TT participants, both in Slipstream and at Founders Day. I would like to see us do the same good job regarding our Club Racers and DE participants and instructors. Hopefully, those involved in these events will support this effort with pictures and articles for Slipstream. If I should drop the ball or overlook important areas, I know I can count on you all to bring it to my attention. I look forward to 2005 and I hope you do as well.

We should be back behind the wheel before we know it. I know I'll be ready…

Word on the Street

by Mike Holloway, Managing Editor

I

asked few guys I know from other parts of the country what they thought of their PCA chapters.

Here is what they had to say.

“Many PCA chapters have plenty of DE events and Club Races. Some like my region are too small to throw large events so they focus on eating, drinking and showing off cars.” S - Central Plains.

“The Chicago Region has a very active chapter with events nearly every weekend. HPDE 1-2 per month, Rally's, AX, and socials fill all free time if you want to. The chapter's monthly mag? Ugh. I'm SO tired of seeing the same 15 people in the magazine.”

C - Naperville, IL “Here in Fla the PCA is a great way to meet great people and there are enough events, DE and autocross to keep folks busy most months of the year. For the annual fee it's hard to beat.” D - South Florida “Mostly wine and cheezers showing off their prize cars. Few are involved in AX and more into Concours.

I would much rather race than show. The regional mag is good enough. The ads and classifieds always help.” M -San D CA Involvement is the key - the more you do the better it gets. If racing isn’t for you, prehaps showing your Porsche would be fun. The Maverick chapter is also a great place to get involved in civic projects. If you have a passion for writing, contact Slipstream. We are alwasys looking for interesting articles to publish.

n a beautiful, sunny, Texas Sunday, December 19, 2004, a group of excited Maverick members were in Mineral Wells to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Hope Shelter. With the assistance of the Hope board members, staff members and administrator, Lisa Huffaker, we “lifted the dirt” at the new site. After a few brief introductions, Reverend Bumpus of the First Baptist Church lead a prayer to bless the land. It’s a dream becoming a reality. Following the ceremony we all then had Holiday sharing with the staff and clients from the shelter. The toys and stuffed animals that PCA members donated at the holiday party were given good homes and will be loved. Everyone enjoyed the great event. Helping those less fortunate is what WE are all about. We “Hope” that all the Maverick members will make a New Year 2005 commitment to our new project. Please help us secure the building materials needed for this shelter. We will continue to take donations throughout the year. This is Maverick’s ultimate project, and we want to share this with all our PCA friends around the country.

Come be part of an exciting and rewarding project. We will soon be looking for volunteers to help with putting up dry wall, paintMore Than Words Can Discribe. ing, as well as many other skilled

Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon

by Dennis Chamberlain

Clarence & Lydia Wyatt Nuevo Leon Regulars

As we enter 2005 we have a new happy hour committee consisting of Monda Degan, Mike Lockas, and me.

We’ll be heading to some new places, plus some of our old favorites including the Bavarian Grill, Sea Grill, and Joe T Garcia’s.

New members attending were Ken and Grace Strauther (’99 Carrera Cabriolet), who used to be members in the Southern California chapter when they owned a 912E, and James LaBarba. I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures, but James could have a second profession by doing Billy Crystal imitations.

A

small but enthusiastic group of Mavericks attended the November 18 Happy Hour at Nuevo Leon, as we approached the Thanksgiving Holiday. This was our first visit to Nuevo Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Monda Degan and Mike Lockas Leon since its recent change in ownership. An advantage that Nuevo Leon has to offer, in addition to a reasonably priced menu, is that Clarence and Lydia Wyatt always come.

Another face that we hadn’t seen for awhile was Chris Smith.

We’ll be the group gathering around the fireplace.

Curves Ahead - Passion and Performance

by Matt Platts & Mike Holloway, Slipstream Editor(s)

L

ast month, Mike Holloway was introduced as the new Managing Editor for SLIPSTREAM. He contacted me several weeks ago with interest in the position. I was eager to talk to someone with experience and willingness but I was also apprehensive. We put a lot of time and energy into every issue, more so than many people realize. I didn't want to hand this over to just anybody. The following is the first conversation I had with Mike.

SLIPSTREAM: I'm glad you have an interest in the publication, how long have you been a member of PCA? MH: About three months.

SLIPSTREAM: Three Months? That's not very long, how long have you owned your Porsche?

MH: Going on five months I guess, but I actually drove the car I own for awhile in grad school, about eleven years ago. A very good friend ended up buying her and kept her on the road with the agreement that I would have first refusal when it came time for him to give her up. That happened several months ago.

SLIPSTREAM: What year and model?

MH: She is a 1977 911 Targa ROW with a 2.7l engine.

Various reliability upgrades have been made to her and for the most part she runs real well. A little surface rust in a few spots, but then again she was a Northeast car. She is in surprisingly good shape.

SLIPSTREAM: You refer to your car as 'she', any reason?

MH: Ya, kind of strange. I never really understood why people referred to their sailing vessels or performance vehicles as 'she' until I drove that car. After spending sometime in it, I think I understand. I can't really explain it.

These cars are more than a means of transportation - they are a blend of passion and performance. The darn things have a soul. Let's face it, if you don't understand or respect them, you can get seriously messed up.

SLIPSTREAM: The cars or the 'she'sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?

MH: Yes. SLIPSTREAM: OK, we will just leave it at that. What is your background? You mentioned grad school, what did you study?

MH: I have a weird combination - a BA in philosophy, a BS in chemistry and an MS in chemical engineering.

Nineteen years ago, I started in R&D, and then moved into product development, then sales and marketing. The past five years it's been a combination of all that.

SLIPSTREAM: But you do desktop publishing now?

MH: Only by default, I do technical development and reliability for a lubricant manufacturer. Awhile back, I spent many many hours working with the folks in our marketing 10

and advertising departments on various projects I was spearheading. There were too many re-dos. Now I just do it all myself. It seems to save time. I speak at a bunch of conferences on original concepts and research that I have done in the field.

I have a certain quality of work I like to present and a pace I work at. It's easiest for me if I can take it all on, delegate when needed but mostly punch through the rest myself.

SLIPSTREAM: So why do you want this post? The time commitment is considerable and it is all voluntarily.

MH: I just love to create - physically and intellectually. It's really a hobby for me. Also, I am one of those that really like the stress of a deadline. The more things I have going, the better I like it. I seem to be at my best when pushed to the limit.

SLIPSTREAM: This will feed that need. Do you have a family?

MH: I have a seventeen year old daughter that lives outside of Chicago with her mom, a five year old son and a two year old daughter that I have with Lisa, my wife of seven years. The little ones really like the Targa. I really got the car to work on with my son over the next ten years but I suspect that my littlest girl will want to get her hands dirty on it as well.

SLIPSTREAM: Are you going to get involved in DE or racing?

MH: Someday, but right now I want to get the car in shape. The engine is sound and she really doesn't weep any oil. The transmission could use some new bushings but that's about it for now. I will strip her down and clean her up cosmetically. We'll save the internals for when problems present themselves. For now, I'll just leave the engine well enough alone.

SLIPSTREAM: So you must have read the 911 restoration article that appears each month?

MH: Absolutely, it provided inspiration. The great thing about this community is that folks are really willing to share their insights and are not afraid of telling you their mistakes. I will try to do as much of the work as possible.

There will be certain things that I just don't have the machines for. Those are the things I will have to farm-out.

SLIPSTREAM: So what are some of the things that you are looking to change in SLIPSTREAM? MH: Not much of anything - it's a good read. I have a few article ideas that might be fun but nothing radical.

Unless there is a ground swell of discontent (which there doesn't seem to be), I say leave well enough alone. You guys do a great job. I would feel privileged to be associated with this publication.

SLIPSTREAM: We look forward to having you as part of the team.

Maverick Driving Schools - Class of 2005

By Tom Snodgrass

W

inter hiatus is nearly over! Are you ready for school? Maverick Region is sponsoring four driving schools to give you a taste of what competitive driving is all about. Though safety comes first, having fun is our goal for everyone. The focus this year is on Porsche drivers who want to learn more about driving their cars. Previous experience is not required. In fact, if you have taken the schools two times already, you have graduated. Please accept our congratulations! (Now we want you to volunteer to help put on the schools for the new people.) Students will receive full instruction from our excellent and experienced Maverick instructors. All schools are held prior to the start of the Autocross and Time Trial seasons to get you hungry for more!

Ladies Only Autocross

Autocross 101 – Introduction

Pennington Field - Saturday, February 19, 2005

Pennington Field – Sunday, February 20, 2005

This is our traditional ladies only school taught by our best lady drivers. Many of them are class winners at the Porsche Parade. Guys are just there to set up the course, work corners, and pick up cones during this very well organized school. Top speeds are lower, and all of the exercises are designed to help you learn about your car. There is plenty of time to gradually increase your speeds as your confidence grows. This is a great school for ladies that want to get ready for the driving season, or just “give it a try”.

This school is the same format as the ladies only school the day before, but is open to the gentlemen as well. Ladies are welcome to join either day, or both! This school is the perfect introduction on how to attend an Autocross. Students drive exercises in the morning followed by a real Autocross in the afternoon. Students and instructors “work” the corners to gain experience as an observer as well as a driver. Fun runs at the end give volunteers and instructors a chance to join the fun as well.

Autocross 102

Time Trial 103

Mineral Wells – Saturday, March 5, 2005

Mineral Wells – Sunday, March 6, 2005

Though similar in organization to Autocross 101, the Mineral Wells venue allows for more and different exercises, and a larger Autocross course. Autocross 101 is not a prerequisite, so feel free to attend Autocross 102 even if you cannot make it to 101. Mineral Wells is the perfect location to explore the limits of your car. Students will learn what the car can, and cannot do, in a safe environment.

This school provides a specific focus on the Maverick Time Trial courses. This school includes multiple laps on courses that are higher speed than the Autocrosses. Students learn higher speed handling and transitions in portions of the Time Trial courses in the morning. The afternoon is devoted to an actual Time Trial.

General Info: The schools are expected to be sold out. We limit the number of students to ensure full instruction for everybody. This means:

Register early to ensure your spot!

The Porsche Club member cost is $35 for each school.

(This must be the bargain of the century for instructed driving schools!)

Non-Porsche Club and late registrations will cost $40.

Porsche Club members that sign up more than 2 weeks in advance will have priority. Acceptance e-mails, along with school details, will be delivered approximately 2 weeks prior to the school.

Helmets are required. They must have a SNELL 95 or SNELL 2000 rating. If you don’t have a helmet, loaners will be available. You will be asked to purchase a head sock for a nominal charge (or bring your own).

16

All cars must have a Maverick Region technical inspection prior to the schools. This ensures that any problems are fixed prior to showing up at the track. Inspections may be performed at Mayo Performance in Euless or Autoscope in Plano. Please contact Bill Miller at tt@mrpca.org, or Chuck Machala at ax@mavpca.org for more details.

We need volunteers to help put on the school. Please consider “giving back” by helping out with setup, running, and taking down the event. We need you to register online so we know you are coming.

For more information, or to register (students or volunteers), go to: http://www.pca.org/mav/Events/Schools.asp.

If you have any questions, please contact Tom Snodgrass at drivingschools@mavpca.org or call at home 972-939-7967.

Blastin’ the Bayou Club Race

by Nitro Mueller (aka Bill Miller) for dinner and another evening of Mardi Gras Region hospitality and fun.

On Sunday the rain turned to intermittent drizzle and we were able to drive. Qualifying was in the morning followed by two types of races. The first was a Sprint Race and the second was a Feature Race in what’s called a Formula Libre format. The Sprint uses a rolling start led by a pace car and your grid position is determined by your qualifying time. The Formula Libre is a handicapped format that starts each car individually in reverse order of its qualifying time. The car with the slowest qualifying time goes out first. The fastest qualifier goes out last and, in theory, if every car ran like it qualified, we’d all cross the finish line together.

The racing was exciting and the Mavericks made a good showing, but the best thing about a Club Race weekend is the people. It’s a chance to spend time with friends and meet racers from other regions. The Mardi Gras Region deserves kudos for the hard work that went into 2004 Blastin’ the Bayou, for its volunteers and workers who braved the elements, its Cajun hospitality,

t was wet and dreary as local Maverick Club Racers packed up and headed to Louisiana and the November 21 Blastin’ the Bayou Club Race. A year earlier several Mavericks had run at No Problem Raceway and the word spread of the terrific track and warm hospitality of the Mardi Gras Region.

Most of us arrived on Thursday to unpack and settle in before the sun went down. Daylight arrival is especially important at NPR because this is a place that is not easy to find. It’s nestled between swamps and oil refineries outside Baton Rouge. We unpacked in the drizzle, got our cars into the garages and hoped for a clearing in the weather.

We got the reprieve from rain we wanted on Friday.

That meant good weather for open track sessions and, for rookies like me, a chance to learn the track. The 1.8mile circuit is virtually flat but with a combination of “whoohoo” high-speed turns after the main straight and technical low speed sequences on the backside that keep it constantly interesting. After a day of driving we tucked into a trackside spread of tasty Cajun food and a live band that got even those of us with two left feet (better for braking, I’m told) on the dance floor. The Mardi Gras Region definitely knows how to throw a party.

On Saturday the rain came back. We spent the day huddled in the garages and under trailer awnings while the rain alternated between showers and periods of outright deluge. I went out for just one afternoon session and found a combination of standing water and mud dragged on the track by cars that had made off-road excursions. The conditions got so bad that the Mardi Gras folks wisely closed the track early. We all headed

Early 911 Restoration: No. 5

by Charles Freeman

Photo by Charles Freeman

As you saw last time I had removed the floorpan by drilling out some spot welds and using an air hammer to separate body panels. Because I used the air hammer there was a lot of distortion of the panel flanges so I had to straighten these out. Also, it left a lot of excess metal on the flange so I needed to grind this off.

Up to this point of the project my angle grinder has become one of my most valuable tools. I can put sanding disks on it to remove paint, cutting wheels to cut metal, and grinding wheels to smooth rough surfaces. I bought a high quality Dewalt and it has yet to fail me. One note of caution, beware of loose clothing when using the grinder. The “on” button locks in place so you don’t have to fatigue your thumb by holding it down.

One time I had on a Tyvek jacket (like the white suits you see people wearing when making silicon wafer chips) which I thought I had tucked back. I was using the grinder and a knotted wire wheel and I guess I was “zoning out” while grinding away at the undercoating when I felt a powerful “whack” in my ribs.

I looked down and could see the Tyvek coat had gotten caught in the wire wheel and the grinder had pulled itself up the jacket. It was inches away from my face buzzing violently as it was fully energized. I lucked out because it could have gone right to my face and shredded my cheek. Instead, I ended up with a painful bruise and a good lesson. Never let boredom set in when working with power tools! Once the weld flange surfaces were ground smooth I used a hammer and dolly to straighten the flanges. I would find out how critical this was later. This also gave me an opportunity to check the quality of the emergency brake, accelerator, and clutch cable as these are completely exposed from underneath the center tunnel.

The floorpan I bought was painted with a green primer coat to prevent it from rusting. Welding through this primer would reduce the quality of the weld. So I removed the paint along the welding flange areas and painted it with a weld20

et me start this month’s update with a disclaimer, “Don’t Try This At Home”. After about a year into this project I am becoming quite discouraged. It seems every time I go to work on the car I end up taking parts off but never putting anything on. I will also add the words of wisdom, “don’t purchase a non-running car because it is cheap thinking you will restore it” those words I should have heeded. Anyway the drudgery continues.

through primer. That is why in some areas of my floorpan are green and others are silver. I took this opportunity to spray Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulator on the exposed underside of the car. In order to blend the new floorpan into the car I had to make a template of where I cut the old floorpan out of the car and transfer to the new pan.

Well, I made a template, checked, re-checked, and checked again. This was done by taking measurements from fixed points as a reference around the body. The scenario goes like this: crawl on your back under the car, stretch your arms as far as you can to reach a bolt hole, stretch the tape measure out, watch it snap back into your face, place it on the hole again, snap back into your face, cuss a little, and so on. This was repeated countless times because I knew I would only have one chance to cut the new floorpan. Anyway, I figured I would err on the positive side and cut away a little less than my template showed, place the new piece onto the car and check the fit. I started to use the grinder with a cutting wheel to cut the floorpan but found it took way too long for my patience so I resorted to a Sawzall (big industrial jig-saw). Now I finally had the new floorpan ready to place on the car. Hmm, one person lifting a 4 foot by 6 foot sheet of metal and holding it on the car body, upside down, would be challenging. I laid several sets of vise grips around the outer panel flange of the car on the garage floor. I lifted up the floorpan then laid down on my back with this on top of me.

I shuffled my body on the floor, kind of like a worm I guess, until I was under the car. Well then I had to lift it off my chest and hold it in place while I clamped it.

So envision this, I use my knees, head and one hand to push the floorpan into position on the car. Did I mention this was heavy? With the free arm I stretched out, felt around and found a vise grip, then clamped the floorpan and car body flange together. I then took one foot to kick another vise group close to my hand and I clamped it to the car on the opposite side.

These two vise grips are not strong enough to hold the heavy floorpan so I had to get about 10 vise grips positioned all around the car. With the floorpan finally in place I extracted myself from the car. My wife happened to be in the garage at the time and she thought I looked pretty funny with the indention of the floorpan in my forehead. After a few choice words she decided to go into the house. After all the work of measuring the template and being careful to leave sufficient overlap in the front of the floorpan I realized I must not know how to read a ruler. Most of the length where the old floorpan joins the new

had about an eighth inch gap. Oh well, too late now. I figured my best option would be to buy some sheet metal, overlap the old and new sections of floorpan and weld that into place. I would do this after I welded the floorpan in place.

As I previously mentioned, I removed most of the floorpan using an air chisel that left the flange severely distorted. This is why you don’t do that. Once the floorpan was clamped to the car I found I had to spend more time with a hammer and dolly to get the new and old flanges to meet correctly. If these are not in intimate contact the weld will not be good. Anyway, this took a lot more of my time but also gave me the chance to reflect on how best to weld this into place. My original plan was to drill the spot welds of the old floor pan out from the car body side.

Why do it this way? Simple. After the old floorpan is removed I would be left with a lot of little holes in the flanges on the car body. When the new floorpan is in place all I have to do is plug weld from the side where the hole is. To make my very long story short, once I was ready to weld I just had to lean over the car and start welding on the flange of the center tunnel.

Very easy to reach, and I wasn’t lying on my back! While welding I alternated sides and front to back so as not to build up too much heat in the sheetmetal. Well let’s just say it wasn’t perfect but came out pretty good. Where there was good contact I made a nice “puddle” in the center of the drilled hole and overlapped the edges to “capture” the new floorpan. I then went around the outside of the car on the flange just below the door.

Again, real easy to get to.

Unfortunately, I learned that welding with jeans that have holes in them doesn’t stop the molten metal from searing your skin.

East Texas Maze Tour (minus the maze)

by Marjy Chadwick roads with nothing around and then all of a sudden, bam – there is this beautiful golf course and country club. The club was lovely and the staff members were very accommodating.

ovember 21, 2004 I guess the threat of rain kept most people home, as only seven cars showed up for the East Texas Maze Tour. But they were seven of the best. Ted & Bonnie Glover were in their black 1977 Turbo, followed by Andy & Cindy Miller in their silver 2004 Turbo Cabriolet. We were all glad to see Andy as he had just gotten out of the hospital on Friday. Jim and I were in our new (new to us) blue 2002 C4S. After us was CJ and his neighbor Carl in CJ’s 1997 red 993 C4S, and then Jim Mayzurk & Mimi Grant in Jim’s beautiful blue 928. Jim had just gotten his car back after having had the master cylinder repaired. Retirement must really agree with Jim, as he looks happy and relaxed.

Following him was Frank in his black 2002 C4S. (Go C4S’s) Frank showed us all his new sport exhaust. When he flips the switch, it really has a great sound. Finally, the caboose was Douglas in his black Mini.

We all got a big laugh when Ted had the waiter serve Andy 6 shakers of salt and a shot of Gatorade. Andy has a problem with his sodium and is on a high salt and low liquid diet. After lunch we had a little time to let our food settle as we waited for Ted to put air in his tires. Some of us take care of this before the tour, but I guess Ted feels he can do a better job with a little portable air pump.

The roads were wet when we started out, but by midmorning had dried out. The trees were all turning and the colors were beautiful. With all the rain we have had, Moore Farms (where we were going to go through the cornfield maze) was a muddy mess. It’s not the type of place you want to take a bunch of Porsches. So we decided to spend a little extra time driving on the back roads of east Texas.

“I thought PCA was picking up the check?”

What makes these tours so interesting are all the little towns we go through as we transverse the back roads. They all have their unique yard art, mailboxes, and bird houses.

You never know what you will find or see. While going through the town of Frankston, we passed a little Ford dealership and on the showroom floor was a Ford GT. Who would guess in such a little town? Going through Grand Saline, we passed the Morton Salt facility. Under the city there is a salt dome that is 1.5 miles across and 16,000 feet thick. This one facility could supply the world’s need for salt for 20,000 years. Who knew? Around Forney we stopped to say our good-byes and then head home. This is always the sad part, as we all hate for the day to end.

Wonderful friends, exciting cars, beautiful scenery, what more could you ask for?
