My Thoughts by Jan Mayo, Slipstream Managing Editor
T
he term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". Or from my New Mexico world (it’s up to you to put in the Spanish/Indian inflections), respond por favor. In any language it means, Tell Me You’re Coming, and if you tell me you’re coming, COME. It’s just good manners.
So that saying my next thought is on the Father’s Day Picnic (gaze left). It’s a grand laid back day with an easy people’s choice concours/wash and shine and food and pool and hot dogs and games (for big and small) and munchies and snacks. And in order to not have 43 bags of chips and no guacamole Tracey needs you to RSVP to coordinate all that. Speaking of concours, and not the easy one at Father's Day but more like the serious one at May at Mayo's, it takes a lot of work to prepare a car. But it also takes a lot of work and dedication to be a judge. Bob Bianconi had three pairs of judges for M at M's who have judged at Parades for several years. For a region that doesn't "do" concours that's pretty amazing. If you have any interest in being a judge talk with one of these guys (see Bob's article on pg 15) to find out more. Then check out the folks at Parade. They take their judging responsibility as seriously as the contestants. There is a growing need for dedicated judges on both the regional level and the national level. So come on and jump on in, the water's fine. Oh, speaking of water, the Bell's have a glorious pool so, after you've rsvp'd to Tracey that you're coming to the Father's Day picnic and concours, pack the back of your Porsche with your suits and towels along with your general cleaning supplies. It's going to be a glorious party! So.... did you all enjoy the segues from rsvp to concours to judging and back to rsvp?? Welcome to my world of logic.
It’s M U R R R D E R! WHAT: Interactive Murder Mystery Dinner with “Entertainment presented by Keith and Margo’s MURDER MYSTERIES of Texas” WHEN: Saturday, August 4 at 7:30pm.

Catch my Draft by James Shoffit, the Maverick Region President bsolutely, positively dead last. That’s where I placed at our first Concours event. At least we can all sleep at night knowing that the president doesn’t get any special privileges at the events! After the scoring was all done, I was chatting with Bob Bianconi, the Concours chair, and told him I couldn’t believe I came in last place. He quickly said “oh, no you didn’t, some guy only got 88 points out of the 140.” I then reminded him that I WAS the one that got the 88 points!
PCA National has made a request of us – please log into www.pca.org and make sure your email address is right. If you have trouble getting logged in, please contact myself, Joel Nannis (membership@mavpca.org) or PCA National to get signed in. Once you are logged in and at the www.pca.org home page, click on the “View and Update your PCA record” link near the top of the middle section. You can also update what cars you now have, your address, your associate member, etc. Pretty soon we might start emailing event notices and other pertinent information, so if you are interest in those, make sure your email address is correct.
When I was a kid I was in a bowling league. I was horrible at it. Lowest scores of anyone in our league. But at the end of the season I had brought my average up so much that I got this absolutely huge trophy declaring me “Most Improved”. I am sure hoping Bob has one of those awards for me at the end of this year – I think that’s the most I can hope for!
In June we have the Father’s Day Picnic at a new location – Autocross and Time Trial chair Bryan Bell and Autocross and Time Trial Registration chair Andrea Bell are hosting the event. Their house is one of the neatest houses I have visited, and is well worth the drive out there. Look for more details on page 2.
Bob ran an absolutely fabulous event – 32 people showed up in spite of it raining all day long. It was so well organized, and punctual; it was a pleasure to participate in and attend. And next time I expect to at LEAST earn Next To Last Place. Thanks, Bob!
Then on June 30/July 1, we have another Time Trial/Autocross weekend in Mineral Wells – come on out and try it out if you haven’t before. We’ll even loan you a helmet if you want. I won’t be at that weekend’s festivities – I will be driving to Parade in San Diego – but don’t let that stop you!

Come on out and join the fun! See you soon!

In other news, one of our great Autocross, Time Trial, and DE participants and former AX/TT Tech Inspection chair suffered a horrific accident. (I will save you the agony and tell you this has a happy ending). Rick Randall was home alone swimming in his pool when he dove in head first and hit the steps. He broke 6 of the 7 vertebrae in his neck, completely crushing number 5. He heard it all snap and knew he was paralyzed. Somehow he got himself OUT of the pool using nothing but his chin – he will have to show us that trick when he completely recovers. He yelled for help for about 40 minutes until a neighbor heard him and We’ll see you back out in the sun they careflighted him to the real soon Rick! hospital in Fort Worth. He had surgery on his neck, replacing bone with titanium, and gluing the rest back together, and now he has motion in all limbs and is already up and walking. He will have to wear the big halo device for the next 3 months, which means he won’t have to wear a tie for a while. (Has anyone ever seen Rick in a tie ? Can’t remember…) Anyway, he spent a couple of weeks in the hospital, and will spend a couple more in rehab, then he will be back home for the next 3 months till he gets the halo off. Amazing that he lived (first of all), that he wasn’t paralyzed, and that he has full use of his limbs. Luckiest guy on earth. Of course anyone who has seen him drive knows he is lucky every time he saves a spin!

Maverick Minutes by Charlie Davis
J
ames convened the meeting at 7:15 PM. He started off with a sad announcement concerning Rick Randall, who recently broke his neck diving into his swimming pool. He said an operation was pending to fuse vertebrae in his neck. Wendy volunteered to send flowers when Rick gets out of ICU.
James then mentioned he and Wendy had a conversation with the Parade Kids chair in San Diego. She was struggling for a T-shirt budget. One of the T-shirts will honor our late Lanean Hughes, who was instrumental in creating various Parade activities for children. James suggested that Maverick Region sponsor the Parade Kids T-shirts at the 2007 Parade. However there were some issues with the Parade Treasurer. We volunteered Teri, who was not in attendance, to contact San Diego and see if it’s possible for us to donate $550 for these shirts, without reducing the Parade Kids budget. Wendy asked if everyone had seen the Panorama article about the new Hope Shelter. She plans to submit our sponsorship of that building project in the 2007 Charity Contest. Jan, as usual, needs information about all pending events and articles concerning previous events. Bob B reported there were 32 cars registered for the concours to be held at Cinco de Mayo at Mayo’s. He and his team are all set for staging to begin at 4:00 PM on Saturday. We discussed if drinks, especially water, would be available for the competitors who arrive early for prep? Denny reported he had received an e-mail from Steve Boyd, who said that our Flickr Pro account needs to be renewed. He said he would handle it. He asked for guidance from the board concerning an ad for other car club events. We suggested that he ask on a case by case basis. Mark said that we have insurance. He has sent a request for insurance for the Club Race. Bryan reported that TimeTrial #2 and Autocross #3 went well, but were not as well attended as he expected. He thinks that rain reports were at least partially responsible for this. We discussed how to reverse this trend. Charlie was appointed (officially) as AX/TT Rules Chair. Denny will create a new e-mail account to facilitate communications with the Rules Committee (rules@mavpca.org) and will put a link to this on the website. Bob K reported he was doing quarterly financial statements again. The most recent might look like we don’t have money however, this is not the case. Some of our PayPal deposits didn’t make it into the first quarter report. The ($105,000) is not a correct number. Our finances are OK! Bob reported we had $230 donated to charity at the recent DE. Andrea also has some money from sales of car numbers and the water donation can is stuffed with cash. The audit of 8
the 2006 books is still pending. The Fort Worth Post Office will send an e-mail to Andy regarding our recent move. Jan noticed there was no Slipstream ad for any one DBA “Track Store”. It seems Bobby Archer changed his business name when he moved near TMS. All is OK. Joel said preparations for the Club Race are going well. Rocky is doing the Club Race shirts. Putting on his Membership Chair hat, our membership remains about the same. He is working on getting a total membership list. Currently, his membership database does not have all the affiliate members. We discussed whether we need a Regional Membership Directory published in Slipstream. We have been doing this for years and continue to have a few members concerned about their personal data being published. Our decision was to continue publishing it for the present. Lisa, with Jan’s concurrence, said Slipstream is full of advertisements. She has started a waiting list for potential advertisers. Tracey reported that our Founders Day banquet will be held at the Austin Ranch on Saturday, November 10. She is working on a Murder Mystery at Fair Park. The cost will be $64.00 per person, which includes everything. We agreed that the first Saturday in August (the 4th) would be a good date for this event. They require a minimum of 30 registrants (last time we had a Murder Mystery, 45 people attended). Someone suggested we lower the price for children’s meals at May at Mayo’s. After some discussion, we decided to make 10 and under free. Tracey reported she has 86 registrations for May at Mayo’s. Kevin asked if AX/TT attendance was down? We agreed it was. We discussed what to do about it, including new web site content, a series of Autocross articles to be written by Bryan Bell, including course diagrams with follow up articles, and finally wondered if not having results after four events might be discouraging. Robyn reported her chair was empty. Travis contended that tech inspection was OK. He also reported he and Robyn attended Hill Country Region’s Autocross School. It was held at a new facility called “The Driveway” in Austin, a small road course. He said all students had new cars! No one there had ever seen a 914 and were intrigued with his car! Charlie, in the interest of time, passed. James delayed adjourning the meeting at 8:37 PM because there were no cookies!
In the Zone by Caren Cooper, PCA Zone 5 Representative
O
ne of my goals as Zone Rep is to increase communication among the regions. Given the geographical size of Zone 5, it is critical that we make good use of technology. To that end, it is important for Zone 5 to have a website. Fortunately, Suresh Hariharan, current Hill Country Region Vice President, graciously agreed to serve as Zone 5 Webmaster. Suresh has been working on a Zone 5 website that, among other things, will allow regions to post event information in an effort to promote cross-region event attendance. When you see Suresh at the track, please join me in thanking him for taking on this project!
amazing – thank you to all who volunteered! A special thank you to PCA Past President and current Porscheplatz chair, Bob Miller, and to Larry Hayes of IMSA for their support and help! Looking forward, Spring is here and there is so much activity all around Zone 5 – what a perfect time of year to check out the website calendars for other regions and drive over for an event!
March and April saw a flurry of activity as spring weather finally arrived. In mid-March, I participated in the PCA Club Race & DE co-hosted by the Hill Country and Lone Star Regions at Texas World Speedway in College Station. We had chamber-of-commerce weather from start to finish! Special thanks to the dozens of volunteers who put on a very wellorganized event that was great fun and incident-free.
On April 20-22, the Houston Grand Prix was held on the Reliant Park street circuit. The attendance at the Porscheplatz was outstanding and the response to the call for volunteers was

On Saturday, March 31st, the annual Zone 5 Presidents’ Conference was held in Dallas, Texas. Fifteen region officers attended, including Vu Nguyen, PCA Executive Director. Vu presented the latest news from the national office. Everyone in attendance was very impressed with his organizational insight, the team he has put together, and the PCA resources that are being developed. The conference began with the presentation of certificates to six of the 11 Zone 5 Regions that are celebrating major anniversaries this year: Cimarron (20 years), Coastal Bend (20 years), Hill Country (30 years), Ozark (30 years), Longhorn (45 years), and Maverick (45 years).

From the Tech Q&A by Jim Slauson, Boxster/Cayman PCA Tech Advisor
Q
uestion: I have had the classic problem with the airbag warning light. Although I've had the seat buckle replaced and the gold contacts fix, I still occasionally have the light come on. The local dealer has been unable to come up with a permanent fix. My question is, when the light is on, will the airbags still deploy? In other words, how serious an issue is it to be driving with the light on?
A
nswer: The airbags will still deploy should you have a buckle failure. The problem is do you know that the light is on specifically for that? You may check it and it may be on for the buckle at that time; however what if you have a control unit failure? Since the light is already on you may not even know that there is a far more serious issue with the system. Another scenario would be that the light came on and you assumed it was just the buckle when in fact it may be the airbag. A good rule
of thumb for any safety equipment is to repair it whenever required and maintain it. You may be glad that you did one day. I would suggest though that you take it perhaps to another Dealer for a second opinion. I would also like to see a copy of the fault and in its expanded view. This would list all of the details that are pertaining to it.

Mavericks Wild about Wildflowers by Clint Blackman

Sunday Drive friends
Photos by Clint Blackamn
Our drive route took us through Palmer, Bristol and Crisp, Texas. The drive itself was quite fun as we traveled down winding “tree canopied” roads and “up and down” hills of rolling pavement, Disappearing into the bluebonnets flanked with beautiful flowers. Those who went “topless” were filled with the sweet fragrance of spring bluebonnet perfume. We made four “flower photo stops” to see and photograph bluebonnets mixed with varieties of other wild flowers including Indian paintbrush, primrose, wild mustard and coreopsis. (For us non-floral types: that’s orange flowers, pink flowers and two types of yellow flowers!) To say these fields were “carpeted” with color is no exaggeration. Our group really got thousands of “OOOhs” and “Ahhhhs” per gallon on this trip.

averick Region’s first “Sunday Drive” was “a blooming success”…Literally! Our first Sunday Drive on April 29th was a “drive tour” of the Ennis Bluebonnet trails. Fortyseven “flower powered” Mavericks in twenty five Porsche automobiles took off from the Dowdy Ferry What-a-Burger on Interstate 45 in search of the official Flower of Texas. This year, Ennis celebrated their 56th annual Bluebonnet Trails Festival. The Festival is built on a system of specially marked roads that showcase “acres upon acres” of wild bluebonnets. The Ennis area has the largest collection of bluebonnets in North Texas.
What a sight
Two hours passed too quickly as we ended our tour in Ennis at Bubbas’. There we feasted on a hearty meal of barbeque beef and ribs underneath a miniature “airshow” of World War II era flying aircraft models that were suspended “in flight” over the dining room. The best part of the tour was the gathering old friends and new members to celebrate our friendship and love for driving these great cars.
Our next Sunday Drive is June 3rd and we drive to the East Texas Oil Museum in Kilgore. October 7th is our Texas State Railroad “Rail Picnic” tour. We finish the year on November 11th with a Tyler State Park Sunday “Picnic in the Pines” Drive. Come “Sunday Drive” with us.

May at Mayo’s Nathan Hardwick - Age 7 nce upon a time there was a garage. It was called the Mayo's Garage.
After the car show we ate cake! On it there was a perfect circle. But it wasn't just a plain circle, it had the Porsche Club symbol on it.
In the garage there was juicy fried chicken stored in a thin cardboard box.
I hope next year will be even better (but that will probably be impossible) and I hope that my Grand Grand (Grandfather) will win a prize.

We had mashed potatoes, fresh sweet corn, salad and rolls. There was also a car show that had really cool cars and some people won clear 1st place medals with white writing that said, “1st Place Winner.”

Our car almost won, but this other car beat us by 6 points. We had 117 points, but that other car had 123! No! Although that's funny because we started out with 140 and lost 23, the same number they would've had if someone took off the 1 in 123. (And it's also funny because you count 1...2...3... etc.) Photo by Charlie Davis
The best was Ed Mayo's car. He only lost 2 points because of a bug splat.

There were lots of games for kids like me. They had a piñata filled with candy and money. There was also sidewalk chalk.

Nonetheless, it is with a big smile that I can report that 27 cars participated in our first 2007 Concours D’Elegance held at

Whew… it’s over. Our first in a millennium, Concours D’Elegance. And guess what, our esteemed President took………. last place – and by a wide margin no less. But the good sport that he is says that he sees the shopping list of judge’s findings as opportunities for improvement next time! Go, James!
Photos by Bob Bianconi
Judge Jerry checking the door pockets May@Mayos. That’s just simply a great turnout despite what promised to be a drizzly day. Drizzle, no drizzle, it was like that all day. It even sprinkled for about 3-4 minutes as folks prepared their cars about an hour before judging began. But with a few wipes of the towels, all was better. The early cars take front and center while the newer cars fill in the back 14
It cleared up nicely by judging time and at 5PM, three judging teams went about their business of finding dirt. And with the exception of James’ car, there actually was very little dust or dirt to find! But we’re jumping ahead. Here’s an explanation of how the Concours worked. In our Maverick Concours, cars are broken into seven classes so that each is judged among its peers. Points are deducted from a total of 140 and the car with the least amount of points deducted wins the class. In addition, the car with the overall highest score (least points deducted) among all the entrants is designated as the “Best of Show.”
Not Done Yet… Besides the awards based on the point scores of the judged cars, everyone was given a chance to vote for their favorite car. This is called the People’s Choice Award. When all the votes were tallied, one car emerged as the clear winner. This car had more than 3 times the votes than its closest rival! And that car was the beautiful red 914-6 owned by Dennis Carter. Congratulations, Dennis!

Judging turned out to be tough with so many well prepared cars. It was obvious from the start that folks took great pride in getting their cars ready to display. In fact, just about everyone was seen putting the last minute finishing touches on their cars. The team of judges spent 4 minutes on each car (one judging the interior and one the exterior) and then spoke with each owner about the things they found and could work on for next time. Best of Show went to Ed Mayo’s yellow 1972 911S. This car scored 138 out of 140 points (yikes!). Dennis gets last minute help from Rich and Diane Johnson

So, what’s next? With so much interest by Maverick members, we’ll do 2 things. First, schedule a fall 2007 Concours D’Elegance. Second, we’ll do a short series of Slipstream articles on car preparation (pay attention James). Matter of fact we’ll ask our judges what they typically see so that we can all avoid those little mistakes next time Host Ed Mayo won “Best of Show”

The highly coveted People’s Choice Award
Oh yeah, that brings me to the title of this column. Right off the bat, it’s my turn to go under the white glove judging microscope. And there it was, plain for all to see… a spider web in my cup-holder. How? How could that be there? I just cleaned that, I thought. But there it was. Aarrg. Points deducted… I thought I heard the spider pleading that it was a German spider…

ISTOOK'S MOTORSPORTS 2729 TILLAR ST. FORT WORTH, TEXAS 76107 (817) 332-6547 (817) 332-6548 FAX We are now building and taking orders for Porsche 924/944's for SCCA, PCA and NASA racing for the 2007 season. With the addition of the PCA 944-SPEC (SP1-SP3) series, there is now a greater than ever venue to economically race these cars. In SCCA, you can have a GT2, GT3, EP, or ITA racer. With PCA, you can pick from a number of classes, dependent upon your car. Cars are built from mild to wild, depending upon what class you plan to enter and to what level you want to participate. Our experience building and racing Porsches goes back to our 911's in the mid and late 70's, and 944's in the 80's in SCCA, IMSA GTU and Firehawk, PCA in the late and early 80's/90's, and Speedvision GT, Rolex GT and GT in 2000 up. In addition to the Porsches, we have had a hand in building five AUDI S4's for the Grand AM Cup, and a couple of AUDI TT's for SCCA. We can build on our inventory of chassis's, or take yours and develop it into the race car you want. Get ready for the 2007 season NOW!! We plan to attend and support as many race events for 2007 as our racing schedule will allow.

Porsche Club of America News by Roger Johnson PCA is very excited to announce two new on-line tools to assist you in communicating with your Region as well as organizing events. The first new tool is on-line event registration. This tool can be accessed at: http://clubregistration.net/.
Key features include:
• Registration for any type of event, while it can be used for complicated events like DE’s and Club Races, it can just as easily be used for a dinner meeting or a tech session. Club Racing has already adopted it as their preferred method for registration. • Your members will create a profile and then never have to enter that information again. • Car numbers are saved for future events • Run groups can be assigned • Accepting credit cards through PayPal is an integrated feature which makes it easy for your Region as well as your members. • A variety of reports are available. • Available 24x7 ClubRegistration.net was developed by Chris Alvarado of the Hill Country Region working closely with both the PCA Website Committee and Club Racing. We thank Chris for all his hard work on this and Chris is making it available at no charge to those Regions who wish to use it. This email was sent with the second new feature. We are very excited about the new Emailer. It gives Regions the ability to email all their Region’s members in the PCA membership database who have not opted out of receiving emails. There are many features to this application which will be covered in an up-coming Regionfocus. This tool allows PCA to have more frequent and more immediate contact with its members. Key features of the Emailer are: • Region Presidents and Membership Chairs have the capability of emailing all members in their respective Regions. Zone Reps can email everyone in their zone. • Membership chairs can easily email new members as well as those who have recently dropped their membership. • Region Presidents and Membership Chairs can email their Region management team. • The editor allows for you to quickly send simple emails very quickly, but will also allow you to create very sophisticated messages as well. Those knowledgeable in HTML can paste it into the editor to build even more sophisticated messages. • You can personalize the message with easy to use substitution strings. This allows you to personally greet your members with things like “Dear John Smith.” • Graphics can be uploaded and included in the email. There is a PCA header as the default, but you use whatever header you like. • Members can opt-out of receiving emails by following a link at the bottom of the email they received. Those that have access to the emailer will see it as a selection on their logged-in page on PCA.org. If you are not registered with PCA as a Region President or Region Membership Chair you wouldn’t see it as a selection. Click on “Emailer” and you will see the lists you can send to. Click on “Compose” and create you message. We think you will find this new tool to be very powerful. With power comes responsibility. Please use this tool with some thoughtfulness. You need to respect your members email accounts and only send messages of value. You want to make sure that when they see a message in their inbox from PCA they will know it has value and that they want to open it. We’re addressing Newsletter Editors in this message because we need to get the word out to all members to update their member profile. There are thousands of members who have no email address in their profile and many thousand more with out-of-date email addresses. Please ask your members to go to PCA.org, log in, and review their email address in the blue box on the right side. Everything we can do to get member email addresses up-to-date will make the Emailer work better for your Region and PCA in general. Watch for the upcoming Regionfocus for more details. As always your feedback is most welcome. Roger Johnson, PCA Website Chairman websitechair@pca.org Jim Selders, PCA IT Chairman jimselders@pca.org

ur return to Mac’s was well worth the wait, and the food was even better than I remembered – not to mention the weather. Last year we hit Mac’s during the hottest part of the summer, and I remember snapping off Porsche photographs outside in the sweaty heat, with my shirt clinging to me like saran wrap. When I got my tripod out of the back trunk of my Boxster S I practically burned my hand (you Boxster owners will understand). This year the temperature was mild, and we had a great turnout of close to forty.

couple of happy campers. I caught them out behind the restaurant making out. This is one the reasons that you always need to have a camera ready. You’d almost have thought they were married. Or maybe you would have thought they were almost married. How many times have two Maverick members gotten engaged? I can only think of one other time, and it was before I was a member. Personally, I feel that this kind of trivia Judy Brodigan is a lot more interesting than the “how many grams does a 1979 911 lug nut weigh” kind of trivia. But I digress…. For our June 21 Happy Hour we’re returning to Champps in Addison. Great selection of various kinds of food, and a great area for us to meet. Hope to see you there! Ken Berry

Welcome, New Members! You have just joined one of the best and most active PCA Regions in the country! Some clubs focus solely on social events, while others focus on just show and shine concours events. Maverick Region is a club that focuses on providing our members with the tools necessary to have the ultimate in driving experiences. You will notice that our region has many Time Trials, Autocrosses, and Drivers’ Education (DE) events (in addition to a yearly Club Race). This has been the spirit of the region for quite some time. We have some of the finest instructors in the country. Make sure you take full advantage of the driving experiences we have to offer. Racing is not ALL we focus on, though. If racing doesn’t suit you, we have monthly happy hours, three monthly lunch gatherings, regular dinner socials, frequent driving tours on some fabulous roads in and around Texas, driving rallies (fun for the whole family), and regular opportunities to support our perpetual charity, the Hope Shelter.
