Drifting: Get Involved! By John Hamilton, Region President
A
t the June board meeting, we had attendees volunteer to be our nominating committee to help find people to fill possible vacancies on our executive committee (president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer). But there are many, many other positions (see page 4) that need to be filled or refreshed each year. “How can I get involved?” is the question I often hear, and that’s good question! One of the best ways is to come join us at our monthly board meetings, held on the first Wednesday of each month (except July). It is there that you can learn about the workings of each of the committees, and where there is a need for assistance. You can then apply your passions and skills to an area of the club that needs those assets.
ALEXIS A. V. CAMPBELL, Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051
“When should I get involved?” This depends on your family, work and other time requirements, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a job you could do at home at your computer, too. Examples: assistant editor for our Slipstream magazine; registrar for our Time Trial, Drivers’ Education, or Autocross programs; liaison to the Porsche Panorama national club magazine. Not every position needs to be one that exists today; it’s where YOU know you can contribute to the whole.
Time Trial, after an extremely successful, innovative and growth-oriented time of their leadership.
“Why should I get involved?” That’s a personal question. Every person has a different feeling about how they should give back to the organizations in which they partake. If you think you can make a difference, I encourage you to join us at one of our board meetings, or just email me at president@mavpca.org with your thoughts and feelings. After all, “it’s not just the cars, it’s the people” that make a difference.
Congratulations, Robyn and Travis, for being our Mavs of the Month. Enjoy your gift certificate to the Silver Fox in Grapevine, for it is a small token of our appreciation for what you have contributed to our club over the past decade.
Mavs of the Month Not so coincidentally, our Mavs of the Month are long-term contributors who have made a difference in many of our activities month-after-month and year-after-year. Robyn and Travis Howard have driven our Autocross and Time Trial programs for years in the positions of Chair, Registrar, management, repair and improvement. In addition, they both participate in each of our Drivers’ Education programs with Travis as Gridmaster and Robyn as corner worker. At the end of this year, they’ll be stepping down from their positions in Autocross and 2 July
So as you see them during the remainder of this year, please help us thank and congratulate them on their dedication to our club. They are two of the finest examples of club contributors we have ever had.

irst of all, I need to correct an error from last month’s Garage Glimpses article about Frank and Bobbie Briggs’ garage. I mistakenly identified Frank’s 1995 993 as a 2005 model -- sorry for the confusion! DE Chair Chris Tabor is looking for an Equipment Manager -- for more information, see the ad on page 25.
Looking ahead to August: We will be holding a Gimmick Rally on Saturday morning (before the full heat of the day arrives), August 2, finishing at Islamorada Fish Company on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard. Rallies are held on public roads at legal speeds. A rally is not a race -- it’s a test of your observational and navigational skills. And in this case it has a great seafood lunch at the end! Look for Parade results in the August issue!

Gimme a Minute: June Board Meeting By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary
J
ohn Hamilton started the meeting at 7:03 pm. He reminded everyone that there will not be a July board meeting. He welcomed visitors Jim & Mihyun Ford and Mark & Michelle Jones. He reported for the Membership Chairs, the Froehlichs, saying that we are unfortunately down this month from an all time high of 2,367 to now 2,353. There will be more efforts made to increase renewals. John said that a nominating committee needed to be established according to the bylaws (usually at the July meeting, but since there won’t be one…). David Robertson, Wesley Lincoln, and Chris Tabor stepped up, with David as the chair. The Autocross/Time Trial Chair and Registrar are stepping down after November this year. Travis and Robyn Howard have been doing their jobs for eight years, and they want to move on to new possibilities. We will be advertising for their positions and hopefully create a committee of people to do the work the two of them have been doing for years. John also mentioned we had a visitor at the last DE, the President of the Porsche Club in Slovenia, whose daughter lives in the area. They had also come to a lunch event about four years ago. Worldwide reach! Lastly, John mentioned he received an email from a new member in the publishing business, suggesting we go to full color issues of Slipstream and would like to help us with that. A group of Mike Brodigan, Richard Solomon, and Ed Mullenix will discuss this further. Goodie Store and Advertising Chair Pat Friend introduced his friends, the Joneses, and looks forward to their getting involved. He said that all ads are currently paid up. There have been a few new ads added over the past few months. The Goodie Store is also doing well. Treasurer Jim Falgout mentioned we have ~$85K in the checking account. He has not received any money from COTA yet, including the return of our $27.5K deposit. He has also not received any DE sponsorship money, but is sure he’ll get some of that soon. Concours Chair Andy Kay has had a busy month. He first had May at Mayo’s with over 40 cars on display. He also had a concours detailing event at Jack’s Garage, where they gave out lots of tips. Griot’s products were
6 July
June 4, 2014
sold, but that wasn’t the focus of the event. Lastly, he coordinated the Porsche effort at the Autos in the Park at the Cooper Aerobics Center on June 1. Great event with light judging. Both the PCA judges and the Cooper judges chose the same winners. Will put on a more strongly judged event in the fall. Social Chair Tracy Robertson also said what a success May at Mayo’s was, with over 160 people attending. She suggested we might charge a nominal fee for a concours entry to encourage more RSVPs instead of walk-ups. Linda Bambina said people are doing well meeting Slipstream deadlines. She also noted that we have nearly 70 Mavericks attending Parade this year in Monterey, many of whom will be wearing special logo’ed windbreakers from the Goodie Store. She also mentioned she will have more details soon about the special event in Tyler. Richard Solomon also discussed the above event, which is a fundraiser for Tyler Junior College. He worked with Billy Hibbs on more details to make the event more affordable, but still keep it charitable. Mr. Hibbs and the college are covering the fee for Vic Elford. Now the cost is only $50 per person, which is fully tax deductible. It will go directly to the college for their automotive department. The date of September 28 has been confirmed. There will be a food, drink, and valet option that should run about $20, but they will continue to look for sponsorship. The event will be limited to 200 people. Porsche of Plano is interested in being involved in some way. Mike Brodigan made mention that he would like to see information on the Monthly Dinner Socials earlier on the website. He is offering his help to the Ramos’ and will contact them. Suggestions of sending the information directly to calendar@mavpca.org will help speed things up. Drivers’ Education Chair Chris Tabor said we had a great DE event the prior weekend. We are almost halfway through the events for the year. All the events have been profitable so far, thanks greatly to the vice chairs of the events. He thinks they are more social and more fun. The events have sold out the Green and Blue groups, and through advancements, we’re working to fill the higher run groups. Park Place Porsche would like another event in the fall, perhaps the MSR 3.1 for a single day. Details
to be determined. He does need a new equipment manager, though, and will actively recruit. Autocross/Time Trial Chair Travis Howard said we had a great Autocross school at Pennington. We had 16 students and 22 volunteers. We would have had more students, but were limited by the number of instructors we had. Fortunately, three students returned the next weekend for the real autocross, in addition to three people who were not able to get in to the school event. Both events were successful and enjoyable. TT#1 and AX#3 are coming this weekend (June). Richard Diller is continuing to help improve the loose gravel in Mineral Wells. Registration is expected to continue to go up in number. DE Registrar Wendy Shoffit made a suggestion that the region purchase loaner helmets for DE events at Eagles Canyon to help some newcomers. She thanked Travis and Robyn for the great AX school, paving the way for her 17 year old daughter, Jasmine, to feel comfortable entering the Parade Autocross. John Hamilton lastly announced that Travis and Robyn Howard are the Mavericks of the Month!

Garage Glimpses: All in the Family – Carl Amond By Linda Bambina, Region PR Chair
C
arl Amond has lived in a number of homes, in a number of countries. But it wasn’t until Y2K, after he retired, that he finally found a home that had space on the property to build the 2,400 sq. ft. garage of his dreams. Of all the “working garages” that I have viewed, his is the most functional, the most like a professional mechanic’s shop. Carl’s first Porsche was a primo 1962 Super 90 Cabriolet purchased in 1966, and he has long since stopped counting. He started SCCA racing in a Mini Cooper in 1971 and first joined the Northern New Jersey Region of PCA. His business took the family to England in 1986, then Germany in 1988. Upon returning to the States, they joined Maverick Region in 1992. Club Racing captured his attention in ’95. Moving to his current home in 2000, wife Barbara got her pool and Carl got his garage.
One stop tire mounting . . . 8 July
Photos by the Author had to be bricked and designed to match the main home’s exterior, according to deed restrictions, so it is a very beautiful building!
A few clever license plates and an original 914 ad from 1970 Anticipating future needs in this space, Carl has carefully placed electrical power, compressed air, as well as TIG, MIG, stick, and acetylene welding in all four corners of this brimming workshop/garage. He has 15 engines in storage or in tear-down mode (yep, builds his own). Workbenches hold tools, parts, boxes, and cleaning rags for several on-going projects. One corner holds a tire mounting rig, balancing machine, bead blaster, lathe/milling machine, parts washer, and an air compressor the size of Rhode Island. One very distinctive aspect to this garage space is that light streams in from three sides of the back walls. The paned windows climb from mid-wall to almost 15 feet near the ceiling. The view in the back is of a heavily wooded area, incredibly tranquil, dappled light and all. (Plus there is an apartment built over the garage where son Chris lives.) The whole structure
The entire family has been “absolutely supportive” and has developed a shared passion for automobiles. A shiny metal gift from his boys proclaims “Amond & Sons Garage est. 2001,” and any given day will find some or all of them at work on the Spec Boxsters which they build and maintain. Barbara supplied an oversized welcome mat that says it all: “My World, My Universe, My Garage.” Carl is happy to tell me that she’s also his Number One (Boss) for his Pit Crew, supplying Gatorade, cold washcloths, and a smile for her husband and avid racing sons. Carl has also become an inventor of specialized tools as well as developer of specialized engine parts for his race cars. Ask him how he solved two different oil starvation issues for their Spec Boxsters, and how many 4-inch pulleys they have sold!

Destination Restoration: Some Much-Needed Air By Ash Seidl-Staley
I
have said it before and I am going to say it again: I absolutely love Air Cooled Engines! I mean, what’s not to love? They’re practical, easy to work on, durable, and the noise they make sends shivers down my spine while permanently slapping a hulking smile on my face. The sound and feel of my 914’s 2.0-liter engine makes my day every time I turn the key. I can get up on the wrong side of the bed, have the worst morning ever, spill coffee all over myself, and hit every single red light on the way to work, but as soon as I get out of my car the smile is there. Much like me, my 914 can have
Photos by the Author; Diagram by Dave Darling, Pelican Parts her bad days as well, and being the owner, it is my job to make her smile again. Since January she has been having issues idling, and from the way she bogged and slugged around corners I could tell she was sucking down an uneven fuel/air mixture. I traced each issue back to the most obvious source: a vacuum leak. Knowing what my issue was was one thing, but fixing it has become an unexpected challenge that I am still tinkering with today.
were no hose connections, nowhere for air to get pulled from, and it made an annoyingly loud hissing sound while running. If another 914 owner was in my shoes, typically he would use this opportunity to swap out the Fuel Injection system completely and throw on a set of carbs. I’m not going to lie; I did think about that, but I figured the next 914 would become my custom hot rod and that this 914’s engine
The first step I took was to get rid of the air filter system already on the car. The previous owner of my 914 had a very custom, but very wrong, air filter bolted onto the car. Instead of a stock air filter box, or carburetors, he had a single, exposed, circular K&N air filter sitting on top of the throttle body. There

would be kept stock. This meant that tracking down a stock 1974 2.0L air box jumped to the top of my to-do list. After a couple of days of searching, I finally acquired one from a fellow Gear Head on PP (Pelican Parts). When it arrived I made sure it fit, cleaned it up, and re-painted it black. Now that I had the proper box, I started mapping out all of the vacuum lines, and with the help of a hand-drawn diagram (also found on Pelican Parts) I started fixing the air flow. As I looked down into my engine bay I soon realized that this particular engine needed a lot more than I had originally expected. Half of the things I was supposed to connect hoses to didn’t exist! Apparently my 914 does not have the proper cold start valve, the one that has two nozzles. One is supposed to connect to the air auxiliary regulator, and the other is the connection to the fuel line. My car is also missing a deceleration valve. Both of these parts are now on my list of things to get, but they can be a little pricey, so I figured out how to delete these connections from the system without affecting drivability. Fitting the air box onto the throttle body was surprisingly easy (fastening an airplane seatbelt is harder!). And with the diagram I was able to connect all remaining hoses. The whole time I was putting in hoses and swapping out cracked ones, I couldn’t believe how the previous owner had got the car to run without all the proper vacuum connections. He was missing three very important hoses that connect straight to the air box. The first is a small metal T that is supposed to pull clean air down into each of the heads. The second is the hose from the gas tank evaporating canister which runs along the driver’s side rocker and pops out underneath the relay board in the engine bay. The third is the Oil Breather hose or PCV Valve. Since I don’t have the proper cold start valve, I spliced the line coming from the Air Auxiliary Regulator with the line from the cylinders and connected both to the air box. The last connection I made, since my
914 2.0-liter D-Jetronic hose diagram from Pelican Parts distributor and other hoses were already properly connected, was the second evaporation line from the front of the car. This line plugs into the small nipple on the side of the fan housing. Whether the nipple is on the driver’s side or passenger’s side depends on engine capacity and model year. Now that most of my hoses are connected I can already feel a difference in engine performance. The bogging and sluggish feel is gone, and my idle mixture screw actually affects the idle now! My next step is to source a deceleration valve and connect it to the last port on my air box. Until then I will cruise my 2.0 liter through the streets of Plano, undoubtedly enjoying the deep rumble reverberating off the buildings and overpasses!

think we all have a story. It’s that one moment when you encounter something for the first time and it changes your life. Like seeing Fangio, Moss or Shelby at some long ago competition that’s somehow seared in your memory like so many black & white period photos. The ear-piercing sound of a shrieking V12, the smell of hot brakes and black rubber streaks left on the road in a series of slides. What about the car itself? Seeing that blood red Ferrari GTO or Porsche 917 in Gulf colors. Or maybe it was working with your dad, brother or grandfather, cleaning spark plugs while they turned the bolts on an engine rebuild. There was that spark that got you interested in cars. Something that pushed you over the edge, never to look back uphill, because you couldn’t climb back up to the top of that crest if you wanted to. Yeah, you are a car geek and if you are reading this magazine, I suspect I know at least one marque that you kinda like. So buckle up, we have some stories to tell. I am much the same; I come by auto fanaticism naturally. My mom’s second husband was French after all. Come on . . . the 1960s, a French guy that smoked Gauloise cigarettes, cooked incredible French food, and looked like a French movie star? Of course, he knew how to work on cars too. He seemed born to it. In 1967 he bought a ‘63 Austin Healey 3000 Mk III, medium blue with a dark 14 July
blue leather interior. The car was only four years old, but it may as well have been 100. It was broken all the time. How could this nearly new car spend so much time with its hood open, its insides being exposed? Easy! Lucas Electronics. The Prince of Darkness; the Earl of Sitting-On-Jack-Stands. He worked on it each weekend to get it running again; it seemed to work on the weekdays and, as if by magic, broke down on Friday evening. I remember that it required a lot of tools and parts that seemed
The first thing that hit me was the smell. Then miles of leather and chrome, that huge thin-rimmed steering wheel, the wood smooth to the touch, the impossibly tall chrome shifter set into the gated gear pattern, all unmistakable Ferrari.
to only come from a place very far away, and it came with a lot of dirty fingernails and broken knuckles. And it required a lot of money… which we did not have much of. But when it ran, it was like nothing else. That sound, the deep basso thunder of the inline 6-cylinder motor, that impossibly low exhaust hanging just centimeters from the ground, and for me at least, those tiny buckets in the back that were supposed to be seats . . . with no seat belts. Ah . . . the Sixties. We drove it once from St. Louis to Lexington, KY one summer so I could meet my real father. I remember sitting in the back, hanging on, looking at the speedo, seeing 120 mph on the dial; the wind rushing not so much around
me as though me. Funny, I was not even afraid of falling out. I trusted my Step-Dad completely. We drove it around Lexington trying to find our hotel. The car may have come from another planet. Which I suppose it did, since back in the 60s, a car that came from England probably seemed completely alien to the locals. People pointed and stared. Many had never seen such an automotive sight. Our motel was on a road called Versailles Rd (locally pronounced Ver-Sales). We had trouble finding it since my Step-Dad in his French accent pronounced it correctly. The locals said they had never heard of Versailles Rd, but they knew where Ver-Sales Rd was. No dummy, he finally figured it out. You know that motel is still there, forty-seven years later. Now it is a Baptist Seminary, but back then it was one of the only games in town. I saw a ’65 Chevy Impala twodoor pull up and park next to the Healey. Two people exited the car, anxiously looked around as if trying to spot something. They were looking for me. It was my Dad and Step-Mom. Wow, it was the collision of two very different worlds. One urbane and the other . . . well, let’s just call it a bit country. I remember looking at my Mom in a panic. The two people that walked towards us were dressed in Bermuda shorts and matching short sleeve shirts. I looked back at my Mom and StepDad, they were dressed like movie stars. She nodded her head, yep that was my Dad and Step-Mom. It was going to be a long summer . . . Finally it was Labor day and I was glad to be back home in St. Louis. One afternoon after school, my Step-Dad took me to a European car dealership, and while he bought
some parts to fix the broken Healey (believe it or not), left me alone to wander around the cars that were for sale. Oh . . . that magical moment, the beauty, shapes that could only be described as otherworldly. I touched a Lamborghini GT350 and actually sat in it. I put my hands around the steering wheel and gear shift, but dared not move them, fearful that I might break something. I saw a bright red 275 GTB/4. A real Ferrari! It was something my Step-Dad had only talked about, but here it was, right in front of me. And nobody
was looking! I slowly clicked open the door and climbed inside. I was transported into another world; this was beyond anything I had sat in before. The first thing that hit me was the smell. Then miles of leather and chrome, that huge thin-rimmed steering wheel, the wood smooth to the touch, the impossibly tall chrome shifter set into the gated gear pattern, all unmistakable Ferrari. I breathed in; it smelled of hand cut leather, rubber and a faint whiff of oil -intoxicating perfume for a 7-year old. I just sat there soaking it all
in. There were other great cars on the show room floor: Maseratis, Lotuses, and Jags. But what did it for me was the Lamborghini and the Ferrari. I was hooked! Smitten with the beauty of the shapes the Italian houses produced. So you see, it was all a set up after all. I would be car guy for life. I came by it naturally too. I have the tools, the dirty fingernails and broken knuckles to prove it. Oh and I have owned 11 Porsches too. But those are other stories. And on that exhaust note, till next time.
Unique Gift Idea: The Crash Collection By Jim Hirsch Editor’s Note: The following was written by a Maverick Region member who wanted an opportunity to pass along a gift idea to other members. It is not an advertisement.
my spouse as a gift since I had a new Porsche coming my way. She is not a car enthusiast and has simply tolerated my hobby for the 44 years we’ve been together.
We Porsche enthusiasts often have a difficult time finding that perfect gift for our significant other, which demonstrates not only our passion for exciting automobiles, but also an appreciation for the machines and the art they represent. At the same time, we want a gift that hits the right chord for the recipient, who may not understand our overwhelming desire for all things mechanical that feed our need for speed in our Porsche vehicles.
Luckily, I recently came across a wonderful solution to this conundrum in the February issue of Automobile Magazine, in their Ignition section, with the title “Salvaged.” That article unveiled a new style and design of jewelry called the Crash Collection. This collection includes necklaces, cuffs, rings, and earrings, and even cufflinks -- all made from high-end car parts of vehicles that had unfortunate meetings with other objects.
Maybe I’m the only person who regularly finds himself in this predicament when trying to pick out a birthday, Valentine, or any other special day gift that hits on all cylinders for both the giver (me) and the recipient. This most recent Valentine’s Day was especially problematic for me given that I recently ordered a new 981 Boxster S. In my case, the challenge was what to give
If you’re looking for the perfect gift that says “car passion” to you and simply “passion” to your significant other, take a closer look at the Crash Collection at http://minabea.com/product-category/crash/. I can vouch for the high quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service that I received in the items we’ve added to our personal crash collection. 15
Concours Corner: May and June Event Recap By Andy Kay, Concours d’Elegance Chair Photos by Linda Bambina, Charlie Davis, and Carey Spreen
A
s I wrap up the spring round of Concours and events, I must say, I’m impressed with Maverick turnout and enthusiasm for all events!
May at Mayo’s The spring season began Saturday, May 10 with the “May at Mayo’s” Concours d’Elegance. A perfect sun-filled day in Euless brought more than 47 Porsches out for a day of Show and Shine/People’s Choice camaraderie. The turnout was exceptional, with more than 160 “judges” casting their ballots. As tough as the competition was, the winners were all stand outs! Class Winner 356: All years
Jack Griffin 356 Continental
914: All years Bill Miller 914 Early 911/912: 1964-1977 Nick Johnson 912 911 SC/Carrera: 1978-1989 Tim Terleski 911 Carrera 964/993: 1990-1998 Jay Moore RS America 996/997/991: 1999-2014 Stephanie Ho Turbo S Boxster/Cayman: All years

Tech Sessions Attract A Crowd On Sunday, May 18, 22 PCA members turned out to a Detailing Tech Session at Jack’s Garage in Dallas . Great questions, conversation, and detailing tricks were shared. The most popular topic was the proper use of an orbital, or “buffer” as many call it. It must have been pretty helpful because the Griot’s Orbital inventory sold out quickly.
16 July
Autos In the Park On Sunday, June 1, Jack Griffin hosted the 9th Annual Autos In The Park at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. Over 250 cars from seven different car clubs attended the most popular car show in Dallas. The Maverick Region had a concours within Jack’s show. I tip my hat to our judges, Les Linenschmidt and Alex Kader, who did a great job. Two of the three German Class winners from the main Autos In The Park competition were also First Place winners in our concours! Congrats to Chuck Lawson and Don Sebert for the DOUBLE WIN at Autos in the Park! Class Winner 356 All Years: Chuck Lawson 356 914 All Years: Clay Perrine 914-6 Early 911/912:1964-1977 Larry Brownell 911 911 SC/Carrera:1978-1989

Coming Up This Autumn I look forward to the Fall season, when we move to a “Touring” format. This is a timed event, with each car starting with a perfect score of 165 points. Areas to be judged include Interior, Exterior, and Storage Area. There are point deductions based on the condition and cleanliness of each area. The contestant with the most points per class wins! The event is meant to be fun, and should not be confused with Porsche Parade-type “stress level” judging. If you would like to be a judge, please contact me at concours@mavpca.org.

From Garry Pearson: In your email you thank me for attending the Novice Autocross School. You’re 100% wrong -- it’s definitely me who should be doing the thanking, to you and all the PCA members who organized the school. It was a blast!!!

I should 6 5 Garry Pearson check this Autocross 6 7 Doug Edny 6 561 Gregory Ibanez stuff out, I wonder what 6 322 Hunter Biederman it’s all about?” Waaay to 7 1 David Asencio late to register, but you 7 11 Deanna Asencio and your team members 8 4 Tracy Robertson accommodated me in 1.X 64 Jasmine Shoffit amazing fashion, firstly by welcoming a curious spectator, and then allowing me to participate, and finding an instructor at the last minute.
Will I be back for more? Too late for that question -I’m hooked! I’ve just enjoyed another Autocross yesterday, and courtesy of my Driving Fastest daughter, who I convinced 2012 Porsche Panamera (Blue) 55.843 to come out and watch, 1987 Porsche 911 (Red) 51.333 I have the pictures and 1986 Porsche 911 (White) 54.269 video to prove it.

I learned SO much about my car and how it can be driven when in much more capable hands than mine. Ray [Nannis] was excellent in showing and explaining the correct way to drive, use of throttle, brakes and steering, and so patient in answering all my questions. Not to mention the ability to point out the “better” way drive. Advising me how I need to “un-learn” almost 40 years of “not so good” driving habits, and always in the nicest possible way. I am by no means a “technical” car guy, so Ray was VERY tolerant of my rookie (read “dumb”) questions, and naiveté in those aspects of my car. Conclusion: I have a whole lot of learning and un-learning to do!! The atmosphere of openness and welcome from all the PCA members was quite overwhelming. What a wonderful group of people, all who LOVE their Porsches. Everyone was great and patient, from the first introductions to the final 18 July
My car is my daily driver. And the week after the Autocross I found myself looking for the correct line through corners, telling myself to “move your hands down, dammit,” and feeling my car in a whole different and more observant way. Not to mention heightened awareness of my car and surroundings.
50.859 52.035 53.835 55.135 55.255 51.446 52.836 50.524 56.490
As I started this response, a “BIG THANK YOU” to you and all the Maverick members for a great day and welcome to PCA Autocross. From David Pennington:
I thoroughly enjoyed the Novice Autocross School. As someone who has never owned a “sports car,” I learned the exhilaration they produce. The skid pad was a blast. My instructor, Tom [Monheim], was very patient and knowledgeable and I learned a great deal about what my car, a Panamera, can do. I would definitely recommend the class to anyone who wants to improve their driving skills and wants to have a day of fun. From Bob DiRienzo: The autocross school was great fun! I learned a lot from my instructor and my driving skills improved over the course of the day. The event was very well managed, and it was evident that safety was a priority, as it should be. Definitely worth the time and money invested. I do plan to attend some autocross events in the future as my schedule allows.

eing a newbie, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I arrived at May at Mayo’s. Carey Spreen and I got there early so he could help stage the Show and Shine Concours, and I could help set up the greeting and check-in area. For me, the best part of PCA (besides driving like a bat out of hell at the Autocross School) is meeting all of the friendly PCA people. So needless to say, I was thrilled to help check everyone in!

Maverick Monthly Social: Mac’s Steaks & Seafood By Frankie Manley Andrew
A
mix of 33 brand new members and an assortment of longtime members met on a Spring evening at Mac’s Steaks & Seafood in Colleyville. At around 6pm, Porsches began showing up in the Mac’s parking lot, a handsome sight. Mac’s has been a mainstay for the club, due to the restaurant’s great food and central location.

Š2013 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times. Porsche recommends four winter tires when driving in cold, snowy, or slippery conditions.
Simultaneously breaks new ground, while clinging to the current one. Take the performance that Porsche is known for. Then add to that the strength of a 400 horsepower engine, the design and greater stability of a wider body, the extraordinary traction and agility of all-wheel drive, and an unmistakable illuminated rear light strip. The sum of which is a sports car that holds your attention as tightly as it holds to the road. Porsche. There is no substitute.
Experience the control of all-wheel drive. The new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S.
