Sprockets:
Happy New Year 2018
By David Robertson, Region President
H
appy New Year to all of my fellow Maverick Region PCA members! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I have been travelling in the Northeast a bit over the last month and I am reminded that we have quite a good season for driving our Porsches here in DFW, since there is always at least a chance that we could have topdown weather in January. I can tell you from personal experience after living in Boston for many years that we are very lucky to have a 12 month driving season and you should take advantage of that! We are not wasting any time in getting the event calendar up and running. The first Mavs & Mochas of the year will be held on Saturday, January 13 at Southlake Town Square. Each of these gatherings features a different Porsche model, and this month we are celebrating the 996. If you haven’t been to a Mavs & Mochas, you are in for a treat. There is always a wide variety of Porsches to see, ranging across many models and years, and it is a wonderful and casual event that allows you to get out on a Saturday morning and start your weekend off right! On Saturday, January 27 there will be two events, starting with a Tech Session in the morning. A Tech Session is an educational event, typically hosted by a local business, where we gather to learn something new about our Porsches. On the 27th we will be at Park Place Porsche to learn about the lubrication requirements on our cars and SUVs. I always learn something at these meetings that I haven’t seen on YouTube! On the afternoon of the 27th we will have the annual All Member Party. This event On January 27th has grown to one of the bigwe will have gest events of the year and is the annual All not to be missed. This party Member Party. includes a car show with some This event has very special Porsches, and it grown to one is a great way for all of our of the biggest members to learn something events of the new about the club. There are year and is not more details to be found on to be missed. page 14 in this issue so I will not mention more, except to say that there is no football on TV that weekend! Make a New Year’s resolution to get to know some of your fellow Maverick members this year and participate in some of our events. There is something for everyone, and you probably already realize that your resolution of going to the fitness center on Saturday mornings is never going to happen! 2 January
SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 817-329-6995 Also, as a reminder, our board meeting minutes are now online at http://mavpca.org/news/minutes/. MAV OF THE MONTH: Debi Gibson Debi began contributing her time and creative energy to the Mavs & Mochas events a while back with some tweaks and ideas that really helped turn it into the great meet up that you see today. Since then, she has started getting more involved with our Social events and co-organized the Founders Day celebration last month that was one of our best ever. From the small details like the clever table decorations to the monumental task of arranging a venue and setting up catering for 200 people, Debi made it look easy. She always has a smile and makes everyone feel welcomed at our events. Debi will be taking over the Social Chair position in February and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with!

PCA Palooza 2017:
aka Porsche Palooza in Eureka Springs
By Larry Hampton, Jay Lynch, Mark Palmer, Landon Stogner, and Greg Ward
E
ditor’s Note: the PCA Palooza is a long-standing event (now in its 13th year) hosted by the White River, Cimarron, and Ozark Regions in the bucolic town of Eureka Springs. We had quite a number of Maverick Region members who participated in the event this year and what follows are the perspectives shared by our five authors. In addition, all of the included photos are courtesy of the authors. I know these shared experiences will entice you to consider attending the 2018 edition! Mark Palmer PCA Palooza in Eureka Springs, Arkansas (also known as “Little Switzerland”), happens every November, when the small artsy town comes alive with the sound of flat sixes and turbos in every color, model, and year. This year was my first Palooza and I enjoyed it immensely. The laidback atmosphere, friendly people, and fantastic roads are perfect for Porsches. Over the past year, every person I asked about Palooza always told me that it was a “must-attend” event, and I am here to tell you to mark your calendars for November 8-11, 2018 and to head to northwest Arkansas and Palooza. We had over 300 Porsches and close to 600 people from 33 states, with great tours, car shows, silent auctions, so-
cials, food, sponsors (including our own Dallas Motorsports as the title sponsor), and awesome weather. The roads showcase your Porsche’s handling, and can be experienced either by signing up for the tours or by heading out in your own groups using your own routes. Many attendees caravan to Eureka Springs from the Metroplex in small groups, as I did, with Landon, Jay, Greg, and Michele, taking roads like the Pig Trail or Talimena Scenic Byway to enjoy coming and/ or going. PCA Palooza has become one of the largest Porsche events in the country, so if you want to enjoy a few days next year in the Ozarks, with three pedals or two, air-cooled or otherwise, and great people, leave the worries and stresses of the world behind and come join us in Eureka Springs for Palooza! Disclaimer: I received no compensation for this wholehearted endorsement!
Landon Stogner Taking a trip and getting away from the normal routine is always fun, but what’s even more fun is a great adventure with your Porsche and friends. Well, that is just what I did back in November. I had heard from many that taking the trip to Eureka Springs, AR for the PCA Palooza Event would be a blast, and boy, was it. Planning started back in June when we locked in our hotel reservations. Seeing how the event is so popular, the host hotel was already booked, so we settled for the Angel’s Diner - a must stop on the way to Palooza “overflow” Best West-

ern down the street. Pete, Mark, Jay, and I discussed making this trip back in April when we all attended the Hill Country Treffen Event in Austin, TX, so we had the starting phase of a caravan group that would make the six-plus hour drive from Plano to Eureka Springs. As time got closer we added another fine Porsche to our group when Greg and Michele agreed to join us. We started our journey on a Wednesday mid-morning by meeting at a place us Mavs like to frequent when we get together with our cars: Starbucks. After we all fueled up on caffeine and tuned our walkie-talkies to the same channel, we were off. Now the weather wasn’t our friend that day as we made most of the trip in the rain. We all agreed we’d rather have the rain on the drive to Arkansas than the rest of the time on the trip. Just before arriving at Angel’s Diner in McAllister, OK, the rain stopped. We enjoyed lunch in the 50s-style diner that had two vintage Cadillacs parked out front as part of the restaurant’s display. This was the first of many meals we
all shared together over our fiveday trip. After stuffing ourselves with good food, we finished the remainder of the trip arriving to our hotel just after dusk. Day One of Palooza started off with breakfast, then hopping in the car for the short drive to the convention center for our tour’s driver meeting. After receiving our maps and meeting our drive leaders, we were off. This day’s choice was Buffalo River Tour with a stop at Ozark Café in Jasper, AR for lunch. We continued on the great roads of hills and valleys making it back to Eureka Springs with enough time for us to stop off at the local car wash before heading back to the convention center for the nightly dinner. Day Two started off much like before; breakfast and driver meeting. This day’s route was the Southwest Missouri Tour. On our drive we stopped off at the Dogwood Canyon Nature Park in Missouri, which was a beautiful park. We enjoyed walking along some of the trails, looking at the natural waterfall, and checking out the two-story tree house. We continued on our tour, stopping in at the College of the Ozarks to have lunch and ice cream. Again after stuffing ourselves, we were back in the cars (anyone see a trend here?) on to the brief stop at one of the many area dams for a photo opp. We ended back at the hotel way ahead of schedule, so we decided on our own route for another drive. This led us to Beaver Lake,

Saturday afternoon we all traveled through the streets of Eureka Springs, tossing candy to the crowd that had turned out to view the “Parade of Porsche Power.” Every evening there was entertainment: a wine gathering for the ladies (but I think a few gentlemen showed up), the Bingo Party filled with prizes and laughter, and the Awards Ceremony with introduction of Sponsors and distribution of door prizes, overseen by our hosts Melody and Leonard Zechiedrich. When we were not driving, we were eating: the Thursday night Mixer, the Friday night Cookout and Welcome Party, the Saturday night Banquet, and the Sunday morning breakfast, before saying farewell to old and new friends. No wonder this event is so well supported. Fabulous folks, gorgeous driving routes, and a town abundant with shops that thrive on and appreciate the tourist trade. We were hooked and made hotel reservations for next year’s event. OMG, by Sunday we found ourselves on the waiting list but anticipating our return to Eureka Springs. Greg Ward Porsche Palooza 2017 was my first Porsche event out of the DFW area. Friends in four cars made the trip together with radios for navigation, communication, and wise cracks.

Kruder’s Cars & Conversations By Bill Kruder
T
his young Mav was truly a chance meeting. Earlier this spring we had our Mavs & Mochas at Zims, then paraded over to the Heights Church in Richardson for their annual car show. As we pulled in, we apparently drove right by Derrick and his brother Kedereck. We finally parked and took a walk through the show, noticing this very nice Boxster with these two young men. We started up a conversation and invited Derrick, the owner, to come out with us. Well, come out with us he has! He joined us for his first Mavs & Mochas in Los Colinas and has been with us ever since, not only attending, but actively volunteering! I have gotten to know this young man over many coffees and cigars, and he doesn’t even smoke! So here is the next individual in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you . . . Derrick Tate, member since 2017, Owner 1999 (986) Boxster and 2007 (987) Cayman Bill Kruder: So are you originally from here? Derrick Tate: No, I was born in Fort Hood, which is down near Killeen, Texas. We moved right after I was born so I tell everyone I’m originally from Decatur, Illinois as that’s where my memories are.
Dallas, in about 2004, for a job. Since graduating college I’ve lived in Rockwall. BK: Where did you go to college? DT: I graduated in 2016 from UNT. BK: And what was your degree in? DT: It’s an Applied Arts and Science degree with a concentration in Criminal Justice. Right now I’m just wrapping up my MBA in Criminal Justice; I plan on starting Law School in fall 2018. BK: And I understand you have put yourself through college? DT: Yes, I have. I’ve been fortunate enough to get some scholarship money and the rest comes from my business. BK: Let’s see . . . you are all of 24 and go to school and have a business? DT: I know! I wonder at times (laughing), but yes, I have a mobile auto repair business. BK: How did that come about? DT: Well I always was a tinkering kid. It started when I was about 12-13 and I would watch my dad work on his motorbikes. When I was about 14 I acquired one of his old ones and I fixed it up so I could
ride up and down the alley. Then from there I started working on the family cars, then friends’ cars, and it just kept growing. BK: But I hear it’s a mobile service? DT: Yes, it’s DJ Automotive. I did a little research and found that people often found themselves stranded by some of the simpler things I could fix on the spot rather than tow. BK: Ok so tell me about your first car? DT: That was a 2002 BMW 325i. I have this thing for German cars I guess. I remember when my brother and I would play video games I would always pick the German cars. BK: So how did you get into the Porsche world? DT: Well, like I said, I have always liked German cars, and always admired Porsches. So one day my girlfriend’s mom asked if I would take her car to get it washed. Well of course I would, it’s a Boxster. That’s all it took and I knew I wanted one so about three years ago I bought my first. BK: And what was it? DT: It’s the one I met you guys in, a 1999 Glacier White Boxster.
BK: And how did you end up in DFW? DT: Well, we were a military family so we moved some, that’s what took us to Illinois. BK: So your dad was in the military -- what branch? DT: Oh no, my mom was. She was in the Army and was a heavy equipment operator. It wasn’t ‘til she got out that we moved to 12 January

BK: So what would be your ultimate Porsche? DT: That’s easy! That would be a base model 993. It’s the last aircooled made, and it’s often considered to be the best one ever made, well, best air-cooled.

BK: And I know there is another? DT: There is, I’ve always wanted a Cayman. So Erica, my girlfriend, and I talked and she said go for it. I managed to save for the past year and figured I would sell the Boxster to help pay for it. Well in August I found the black 2007.
BK: But you still have the Boxster? DT: I do (laughing); Erica said I should just keep it. BK: Wow, so some might call you an “enthusiast!” Bill Orr has defined our Porsche owners as: one, you’re an owner; two, you’re Derrick; and three, you’re a collector. Any more than that, you’re crazy!
So there you have it once again. Had we not gone to the Heights, had we not taken the time to stop and chat, we would have missed out on our club’s future. Derrick not only attends every Mavs & Mochas but has become one of the most active volunteers at many events, even attending our monthly board meetings. Matter of fact, many attending the Founders Day Celebration at Texas Harley-Davidson would have been greeted by him at the reception desk. Derrick is the true meaning of “Driving Friendships!”

Maverick Region 55th Anniversary Founders Day
By Olga Taylor, Manu Bhatia, and Beckie Gomer
A
s a new Maverick, I approached the 55th Anniversary Mavs & Mochas event with a bit of nervousness. Would my ‘80 SC play well with the other models? After years of power steering, would I be able to successfully back her into a parking space? I was feeling all of that and more. Alas, my fear was replaced with joy when I saw the huge smiles of Mav volunteers and vast expanse of my favorite marque. The traffic jam was stunning -- I just loved every bit of it. There was no lack of diversity! I saw wonderfully preserved 356s parked beside various 911 models, new and old. Yes, I saw at least one 914, many beautiful Boxsters and Caymans; in fact I might have seen at least one Panamera and a few Cayennes. (I missed seeing everything -- sorry if your baby is not mentioned here). My conclusion: this club is very welcoming -- I think I saw a BMW in the mix. So, after confidently backing into a parking spot, things got better as I walked amongst these marvelous vehicles. While Porsches are known for style, smell, and sound, PCA members are an eclectic group who love to drive, display, and discuss Porsches. Top-down if possible, hood-up if warranted, and always confidently parked -- this is how we do it! So, what was it like? Imagine throngs of strangers sharing war stories interrupted by spontaneous bursts of laughter. That’s what it was like at the 55th Anniversary Mavs & Mochas at Highland Park Village on December 2, 2017. Many thanks to all the volunteers who created this wonderful experience. Your execution was flawless! Final thoughts: never miss a Mavs & Mochas event. Whatever your mindset or preconceived notions, show up. You will be overwhelmed by the outpouring of friendship. And like me, you and your Porsche might receive the President’s Award at the People’s Choice Car Show: total surprise. - Olga Taylor
T
he first Saturday in December, over 200 Porsche enthusiasts gathered together with their families in the Highland Park Village to celebrate their love of a truly unique sports car brand. With the parking lot filled nearly to capacity with cars ranging from beautifully restored vintage automobiles dating back to the 1960s to pristine nearly-million-dollar hypercars, there was a little bit of something for everybody’s tastes. Base model Boxsters parked next to range-topping GT3s, sporty sedans parked next to family-friendly SUVs. Nearly every car in the Porsche model lineup was represented in one way or another. Mike Mahoney, the Maverick Region Concours Chair, made this Founders Day Mavs & Mochas an extra special event by hosting a People’s Choice Top Ten car show. Every person who attended this morning event got to cast a vote for each of the ten Porsches they saw that most caught their eye. Over 100 Maverick members chose to participate in the Top Ten show and each donated $10 for our Huffaker Hughes Hope House charity. The results were announced at our evening event: 1st overall: Michael Hensarling, 1956 356 Speedster 2nd overall: Jack Griffin, 1955 356 Continental 3rd overall: Bill Kruder, 1964 356 C President’s Choice: Olga Taylor, 1980 911 SC Targa Rounding out the top 10, in year model order: Roberto Anderson, 1963 356 C Pam Adams, 1967 911 Raj Gill, 1996 911 (993) Turbo Scott Boyd, 1997 911 (993) Turbo Ajai Cadambi, 2005 Carrera GT John Harvey, 2016 Cayman GT4 Chris Sorrells, 2018 911 GT3

Three Morning Events to Start a Day of Celebrations Mavs & Mochas and Toy Drive photos by Bob Molyneux What sets the Maverick Region apart from other car clubs is the sheer diversity of its member base and their choice of rides. Every single car had its own unique flair, and every single owner had a story to share about how they came across their particular car. Owners proudly stood by their Bill Kruder and Debi Gibson cars, eagerly waitbrought a Christmas tree atop their ing for somebody 1964 Porsche 356C to both to spark a conver- Mavs & Mochas and the Toy Drive sation just so they Photo by Michael Durovick could share their story. They say that every Porsche has a personality, and the stories from Saturday morning were as unique as the owners themselves. I met owners who had been passed down their cars as a part of their family inheritance, owners who had posters of their dream cars on their bedroom wall as kids, and owners who collected rare and exotic cars just because of how passionate they are about their interests. There were members who took their cars out to the racetrack regularly to let them truly breathe, while others kept them in spotless condition as their garage queen. It didn’t seem to matter which car they were driving was or how much it cost, every owner still stood proudly by their car. This was a gathering where socio-economic boundaries did not exist. Enthusiasts left their differences at home and came together for a unifying passion: their love for cars. I’ve been involved in the car scene for several years now, and I really have to say that nothing comes close to a PCA event. The sheer number of cars and the dedication of the volunteers who work countless hours to make these events possible does not go unnoticed. Ultimately however, it comes down to the passion of the owners, who wake up bright and early on a Saturday morning to share in their love for cars. Fifty-five years in, and the Maverick Region has only the sky as the limit. I can’t wait to see what comes next! - Manu Bhatia

n Saturday, December 2, the Plano Christmas Cops Program had a very special delivery of toys, clothes, baby items, gift cards, and even batteries for the over 300 families they support each holiday season. Our Maverick Region had 82 cars gather at the Walmart parking lot off Dallas Parkway in Plano. Bill Kruder and Debi Gibson, along with a Christmas tree atop their 356, led us on a 10-mile drive to the Plano Police Department on 14th Street. To begin the drive, we had the help of the Plano PD to navigate traffic and get the entire group started together. Several stop lights along the route meant our group of 82 Porsches broke up into smaller groups, but that never reduced the amount of holiday cheer we all had to give. Some members dressed the part in holiday sweaters and Santa hats, although the spring-like weather could have supported holiday shorts instead. Even Rudolph’s nose and antlers joined in on the fun. Okay, that nose was placed by my husband Tom, who loves to celebrate the holidays! But I’m sure Rudolph and Santa would have approved of the effort. Reaching our destination, we were greeted by members of the Plano PD, who directed each and every one to drive through the drop off location where we were able to deposit our unwrapped presents. Over 250 donations and $1800 in gift cards were made to the Plano Christmas Cops families that day, including TeddyG, who stuck his head out of his ride’s sunroof for part of the drive. Thanks Jimmy and Phyllis Gallegos for transporting TeddyG to his final destination. Seeing the generosity from the members set the tone for the beginning of a joyous Holiday season for many families who otherwise might not have presents to give to their children and family members. The Maverick Region members are truly very generous and thoughtful. - Beckie Gomer

Founders Day 2017: By Carey Spreen, Region Secretary
A
The 55th Edition was the Biggest Yet!
nyone who attended the Founders Day banquet in 2012, Maverick Region’s 50th anniversary celebration, will remember that it was a big affair, with about 150 people in attendance in the Grand Ballroom at Texas Motor Speedway. Five years on, Founders Day 2017 broke that record handily, with almost 200 Mavericks enjoying their Saturday evening as guests of Texas Harley-Davidson in Bedford. The banquet was the final of three events, all held on December 2, celebrating Maverick Region’s 55th anniversary. You read about the other two events on the previous two page in Slipstream, so this story will focus on the banquet. Traditionally, Founders Day has been a dressy affair, held in a restaurant or banquet room, where Maverick Region board members recognized the year’s achievements and milestones, and gave out an award or ten, while region members had drinks and dinner while mingling with friends new and old, some of whom they may not have seen since the previous Founders Day. A Silent Auction was usually part of the event, with the proceeds going to charity. This year, our Founders Day Committee, consisting of Social Co-Chairs Tracy Robertson and Debi Gibson, along with Mavs & Mochas Chair Bill Kruder, decided to try something new: a more casual affair at a distinctly non-traditional location. Good call on both counts! Texas Harley-Davidson was a unique venue, with lots of space for ogling vehicles of both two-wheeled and four-wheeled varieties. As the largest H-D dealer and showroom in Texas, the facility covers over 72,000 square feet, with a large portion of that being the main showroom. Most of the bikes on display were relocated to make room for tables, but a few bikes remained on display, and a few times during the evening, one of the sales people fired one up, turning heads and pausing conversations. By now you may be wondering why a club that fancies little German cars and SUVs would hold an event at a motorcycle dealer. As it turns out, there are two connections. First, under the name “Revolution Engine”, in 2002 development partner Porsche Engineering designed and built a new V2 engine for the “V-Rod” model of the American motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson, their first water-cooled engine. Second, Adam Smith, who owns this and several other Harley dealerships, also owns a Carrera GT (yes, the one with the screaming V-10) and is a Maverick himself. Many thanks to Adam for graciously hosting our event! An open bar (yes, free drinks!) was a very popular feature of the evening, as was the meal, catered by Pe18 January
can Lodge, serving pulled pork and smoked chicken. And let’s not forget the all-natural popsicles for dessert, provided by Steel City Pops. The Silent Auction was of course a part of the evening, with 113 unique products and services just waiting to be bid upon. Another feature of recent Founders Days is the Photo of the Year contest, which consisted of 12 outstanding Porsche-related photographs taken by Mavericks throughout the past year. People’s Choice Top Ten Car Show. When was the last time you saw four 356s and a Carrera GT in the same place? Those five very unique Porsche models were joined by 200 other Mavericks and their Porsches. The results were listed on page 18. Photo of the Month contest. The following members, each of which were featured in one of the past 12 issues of Slipstream, had their photo on display during the banquet. Founders Day attendees voted for their favorite, which turned out to be David Temming’s photo of a Black Porsche 911 Cabriolet featured in the April 2017 issue. You can view all twelve photos at http://bit.ly/MavPotM.

And the big news of the evening was that the traditional (since 1976) Richard F. Selcer Memorial Award, which has been given to the Maverick (or pair of Mavericks) that went above and beyond for the club that year, has been retired. Replacing it is the James Shoffit Maverick of the Year award, in recognition of James’ many contributions over the years, not only to Maverick Region, and PCA Zone 5, but to the Porsche Club of America itself. The inaugural recipient of this award is Bill Orr, marketing guru extraordinaire, and all-around busy guy for the club. Bill’s accomplishments even for just this year are too many to mention in this article, but rest assured, he earned it.

Fun awards. Some obscure (and some not so obscure) recognition for some of our newer members added to the festivities: Matt Wilson: “Westside Story” (coordinates our Fort Worth area Mavs & Mochas) Greg Ward: “Father Knows Best” (brings his daughter, Lisa, to many Mav events) Carolle Liu: “Cone Killer” (new to autocrossing this year, Carolle hit NO cones!) Landon Stogner: “Father Knows Best” (brings his two sons to many Maverick events) Bob Molyneux: “The Buck Stops Here” (unfortunate deer meeting at the PCA Palooza) Bill Orr: “The Man Who Knows Too Much” (knows, or will find out, the answer to all things Porsche) Derrick Tate: “The Apprentice” (helps at most events since joining the club in April) Andrew Barber: “Candid Camera” (lending his camera and keen eye for composition at many Maverick events) To sum up: the best-attended and possibly the most unusual Founders Day celebration is in the history book. We hope you can join us next year to be a part of 2018 history!

Maverick Autocross Program for 2018 By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair
Photos by LightSpeed Images
T
he Maverick PCA Autocross program is a low-risk way to learn and refine car control skills in any Porsche. It is an excellent way to learn car control skills that will come in handy every time you drive your Porsche to Mavs & Mochas, on our Tours, at Drivers’ Education events, and even when driving your other car. You will quickly learn about proper seating position, looking ahead, threshold braking, and precise car control while you try to execute a perfect lap on a pylon-marked course in the safety of a large parking lot, one car at a time, where your runs will be timed to the thousandth of a second. Unless you do something very unusual, the only risk to your car is contact with a rubber cone that can be easily cleaned off. Our region puts on events in partnership with the Equipe Rapide Sports Car Club (autocross.com) at sites like Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie and Mineral Wells Airpark, about 40 miles west of Fort Worth. This brings us a highly experienced team that puts on a first-class event, into which we get to include our 10 PCA classes.
Maverick autocrossers can always find some shade when taking a break between run groups
There is an autocross school on Saturday, March 17 that will fill up quickly, so be sure to watch for this event to open. There are guided novice course walks at every event, ride along instructors are available, and you are encouraged to ride in the right seat with others to help accelerate your driving skills learning curve. Most Porsches can navigate the whole autocross course after just one shift to second gear. The next 60 to 80 seconds are such a rush that some drivers barely take time to breathe. You do this six to eight times after just walking the unique course found at each event. The rest of the day you will meet lots of interesting people, take a shift run-
Autocrossing is the most fun you can have in your Porsche in 60 seconds or less!
ning part of the event, whether it is registration, tech inspection, or corner station duty, and enjoy an exciting assortment of interesting cars at speed. Registration is available on line or on site. Arrive about 8 am and bring a lunch or snacks with you, since there is not always an “official” lunch break. After tech inspection, walk the course on your own, or do so with the formal novice walk-through for some additional insights. Cars start running about 10 am, and awards are presented about 4 pm. Look for the 2018 schedule elsewhere in every issue of Slipstream, on our website, and at autocross.com.

We had just spent ten wonderful days in Norway (Bergen, Flaum, Lom, and Oslo) visiting our Norwegian family (OK, I’m only related through my beautiful Norwegian wife, and contrary to popular belief I am not from southern Norway!).

Around the Bend... By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
A
nd yet another new year is upon us welcome to 2018! As has been my habit for the past few January issues of Slipstream, I’m including some suggestions for your new year resolutions that might be a bit easier for you to keep than the list you’ve already created (and possibly broken if you’re like me). I’ll let Stirling Moss set some context for what follows: “Motion is tranquility.” * Bring joy and excitement to yourself and those around you by driving your Porsche each day, week, month, or as often as you can. * Participate in at least one more Maverick and/or PCA event than you did in 2017. * Take photograph(s) and write an article about your first, favorite, or most recent Porsche experience for Slipstream. * Our club is built on volunteers and is the epitome of the PCA motto: “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people”. In fact, take a moment in this new year and look again at page 4 and familiarize yourself with the many members who are volunteering in ongoing roles to ensure the Maverick Region
offers events and activities that meet the interests of all of our members. * If you’ve enjoyed participating in our Region events in the past, please consider if you’re now ready to give back to the club by volunteering in one of many events that can always use an extra hand (or two). Send an email to volunteers@mavpca.org with your interest. * While you are online, why not sharpen your Porsche trivia skills by challenging yourself to either know, or find, the answer to the many interesting questions Jerry DeFeo provides each month. The Trivia quizzes can be found under the News tab on the club website. * Take an open-ended, or even fully planned, road trip. For ideas, look no further than the five Maverick members who shared their recent experiences attending the PCA Palooza in Eureka Springs this November on pages 6-8 in this issue. As you can see, there are plenty of interesting roads to drive and sites to see in the route to and from Palooza, in addition to participating in that neighboring Region event. I hope that 2018 will be a great driving year for you and your Porsche. Carpe Viam!
