Drifting Mike Brodigan, President
I
held off for eighteen months, but I just can’t take it anymore. Not once since I have been Prez, have I used this column to brag about my grandkids, but I just have to do it just this once. I just got back from spending a week with my daughter Kelly and her family. She, Joel and the kids live in Denver so we can’t be everyday Grandma and Grandpa, but when we do get our hands on them, boy do they get spoiled! Michael Brodigan Walter is my four year old grandson. He calls Judy “Funny Grandma,” and I am “Race-car Grandpa.” We like those names. Every time Michael comes to our house, he gets in the race-car to see if he is big enough yet. It will come all too fast. Grace Evelyn Walter is our two year old granddaughter. Just like her mom. Payback is hell, but she is so darn cute! She gets away with just about anything. Beautiful aren’t they? We have some special social events planned for this summer. Our “Round Up” celebration will be held in Grapevine August 6th, 7th, and 8th. All sorts of fun activities are planned: A little wine tasting, a car show, an Elvis review, and a Sunday drive, just to name a few. Check the ad in this month’s Slipstream and save the dates. We are also planning a day at the horse track in July. We will all get together for “Porsches and Ponies” July 17th at the beautiful Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie. We might even place a bet or two. In June, we are throwing a Father’s Day party at Speed Zone, and don’t forget all the neat stuff we do every month. Check our website for all the scoop. We still need some helping hands and some extra cash to keep our Huffaker Hughes Hope House project rolling. To all of you who have contributed your time or treasure: Thank You! There is still time to give a little extra to make the lives of the Women and Children at the HHHH a little more comfortable.
Mav of the Month Our “Mav of the Month” is John Hamilton. Our DE program is the largest single activity Maverick region does. To make it work, it takes a leader who is competent, enthusiastic, and a problem solver. John Hamilton is just 2
that kind of person and he is the June “Mav of the month.” He is the DE chairperson, and with his leadership the program continues to grow and improve. I can’t tell you the number of members who have made a point to let me know just how great a job John is doing. John, thanks for all you do! See y’all soon,
For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver Fox in Grapevine is giving John dinner for two at their award winning steak house. John, thanks for all you do! Mike

T
his has certainly been a month worth remembering. And for those in the inner circle, you know my reasoning. Make sure to enjoy every minute while driving your Porsche, one never knows when it will be your last. By the time you read this, I am hoping that I’ll be driving a new Boxster, but as we all know, we aren’t guaranteed our desires. We had plenty of events this month that seemed to have been phenomenal, as well as more to come next month including our National Parade. Parade is where you will make friends that will last a lifetime and truly believe that it’s not just the cars, it’s the people! Along with seeing old friends and making new ones, there’s always plenty of eye candy to take in. I trust there will be plenty of stories and images I’ll be sharing on upcoming Slipstream pages. I’ve been making more changes to Slipstream that I hope you like along with help from several talented individuals. We are always looking for new ideas and hands to help in the fun, so if you are willing, I’ll be more then happy to bring you on and let you share in the fun.
Hope to see you soon, Enjoy

Maverick Minutes Lisa Steele, Secretary
H
ola, ¿Cómo estás esta noche? Ooops! I am still in Cinco de Mayo mode. Okay, back to the real minutes from our May 5th meeting. We had a large group join us this month with a few new faces. We welcome Winston Barrant, Tom and Susan Froehlich, and Michael Pelletier to their first Board Meeting. Steve Boyd, who is not new to MAVPCA (he was our former webmaster), but this may have been his first Board Meeting, started our roundtable discussion with Boxstoberfest. Steve is seeking insurance from our Region for a one day tour that is a part of Boxstoberfest in the Hill Country. After some discussion about drivers on this tour driving at posted speeds, Clint Blackman made a motion to give insurance to Boxstoberfest with the condition that Steve will have the event organizers and the tour drive leaders sign a written statement that they will maintain the posted speed limits on the drives and that all drivers will sign the agreement as well. Jan Mayo 2nd the motion. Motion approved. Mike Brodigan and Linda Bambina presented the next item up for discussion. After the playground equipment
has been installed at the Huffaker Hughes Hope House, there is currently $1,878 remaining from monies collected from fundraising efforts. This amount is clearly not enough money to finish all landscaping plans for the backyard. The playground equipment is not safe to play on until specific materials are placed under and around the equipment. There were some concerns voiced regarding the amount of latitude the board has in voting for cash donations without giving the at large members an opportunity for input. Therefore, Mike motioned that at the June Board Meeting we will vote on a contribution of $5,000 for the Hope House. Prior to this meeting Mike will send an email blast to ask for comments from the other members. At the June meeting we will also Amend the budget to always include a line item for the Hope House. Jan 2nd the motion…approved. The $1,878 will go to making the playground safe for the kids to play on. Monda Hanna was present to announce Bob Lewis’ departure from the Happy Hour Committee. The committee will include Monda, Mike Lockas, and Chris Christensen. Monda did mention that they would love to have a photographer join their group to help takes pictures for articles. The next HH will be at Abuelo’s in Lewisville. Jan Mayo reported that we have a new advertiser on p.28 of this issue…turbolubricants.com Bob Lewis was present, but had nothing to say. Lots of claps around the room for Bob’s wonderful work finding fabulous Happy Hour locations each month. Jim Falgout was happy to report that “we have money.” Ed Mullenix reported that there are currently 16 people signed up for his Saturday Tech Session at his shop. Tom and Susan Froehlich were present to announce that they are co-chairing with Tom and Barbara Minnella to bring us Round-Up 2010. The tentative date is set for August 6th –August 8th. Susan passed out a very detailed schedule of events. This looks like an event you do not want to miss. All activities will be in the Grapevine area. Carey Spreen announced that he is working on ideas for the next Rally. Jack Griffin reported that The Concours event on June 6th at the Cooper Aerobic Center, will have a “Porsches in the Park” within the Autos in the Park event. There will be a special area for all Porsches to park and be judged for our own Concours event. Robyn Howard announced that she will be working with Christy Payne to change the Autocross/Time Trial ads in slipstream. The next AX is scheduled for May 16th and the next TT is on May 23rd at MSR. Travis Howard reported that the last Autocross/Time Trial weekend was cancelled due to heavy rain. There were not enough people present to safely run the event and the rain caused puddles, puddles, and more puddles. Travis announced that there will be a cap of 48 people for the MSR event. He also noticed that the ad in the
8
April issue of Slipstream had wrong information, but the website is correct. Michael Pelletier took in the whole experience of the Board Meeting and said “hello.” Clint Blackman said that he is going to go chase dinosaurs on his next Sunday Drive. The drive will be driving through Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose. Pat Friend reported that the Goodie Store website is going great and he will be helping Jack with the “Porsches in the Park.” Wendy Shoffitt reported that she is working on Club Race. There are currently 30 racers signed up. She also announced that there will probably be a Pre-Parade get together dinner before everyone leaves for St. Charles, IL. Wendy also made the recommendation that Carey Spreen be nominated for our enthusiast at this year’s Parade. What a wonderful choice…Go Carey, go Carey!! Wendy also gave us the next location for the 2011 Parade. It will be in Savannah Georgia. And on that note…the meeting was almost adjourned. Mike had to announce our Mav of the Month. It is none other than our very own DE Chair…John Hamilton. VERY well deserved!!! Meeting adjourned at approximately 8:30pm.

Cars, Planes & Kids at the 2010 Porsche Parade! by Cole Scrogham
O
K, it’s not Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but it’s pretty close! You might be thinking from the title that the Parade staff is planning something special and you would be right! Are you ready for a “new” kind of Welcome Party at the Parade this year? What about combining our annual get together with a fundraiser benefiting Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois; which will feature a grand prize drawing for a brand new 2011 Cayenne S! This is the first Parade fundraiser of its kind- one benefitting a major non-profit hospital dedicated to saving children’s’ lives. That’s right, this family themed event will award one lucky winner with a 2011 Cayenne S… do we have your attention yet? The Pirelli Welcome Party at the 2010 Porsche Parade will come in a brand new format. PCA members will be joined by Hope Children’s Hospital donors and leadership and both Porsche AG and Porsche Cars North America will be showcasing their products alongside Pirelli. We are making a big investment to ensure everyone will be impressed throughout the evening—and we’re certain it will pay off! The Pirelli Welcome Party will be held in an airplane hangar at DuPage County Airport’s brand new Flight Center adjacent to the headquarters hotel. Be sure to sign up to attend this banquet so that after you get settled in at the hotel, you can come over and join us. On display at the airport will be old warbirds, vintage Porsche cars and new Porsche products. Live and silent auctions benefiting Hope Children’s Hospital will add to the ambiance of this unprecedented event. The menu for the evening will feature local specialties that are rich in Chicago tradition, including deep dish “Chicago Style” pizza, hot dogs (with all the traditional “Chicago” trimmings), Italian beef sandwiches, barbecued ribs and cheesecake. Local wineries and microbreweries will provide seasonal beverages. If you skipped the Welcome Party on your meals list, you might want to go ahead and add this one back in. This will be one of the best Welcome Party meals ever! 10
Now—more about that exciting raffle! Tickets cost $150 each and all proceeds will benefit Hope Children’s Hospital. Hope is a specialty hospital staffed by over 175 pediatricians representing 30 specialties and subspecialties. Since opening in 1996, Hope has been committed to providing not only highly skilled medical expertise, but also quality care that is private, child-friendly, familyfocused and compassionate. The drawing will be held at approximately 9 p.m. at the Pirelli Welcome Party. To deepen our partnership, Hope Children’s Hospital will host a Chicago Region Show and Shine event prior to the Parade on June 13 and will participate in PCNA’s Porsche Sport Drive Event the day before the Parade begins. For more details on these events, or Hope Children’s Hospital, please visit www. advocatehealth.com/porsche. There is still time to register for the Parade at http:// parade2010.pca.org/, this event is just one more excuse to help you find the time to explore the Porsche Club of America’s premiere event of the year. This will be a family themed event, including your family —and the Porsche family, too!

GeorGe edwards, Park Place Porsche enthusiast:
I bought my 1990 Porsche C2 because it was previously owned by a Park Place client who had his service done at Park Place Porsche. Since then, the cosmetic and performance upgrades have been performed there as well – from Big Red Brake Calipers/ Rotors, RSChip and Suspension to racing pedals and the RS America Wing.
PushinG the Performance enveloPe.
It’s both street-worthy and track-worthy and, even though it has more than 180,000 miles on it, runs great. Unlike other brands, a Porsche is built strong, so as a high-mileage car, it’s still strong and robust enough to track at high speed. And I love that you can drive it in a high-performance fashion and still drive it on the street the next day. It doesn’t have to be a garage queen; you can drive, and drive hard, and the next day it actually starts. As someone who does his research to properly maintain his vehicle for the track, while keeping it street legal, I most value the quality service and detailed advice I get at Park Place Porsche. I feel good knowing that I’m using genuine Porsche parts, and that both Park Place and Porsche stand behind them with warranties on the parts and labor. It’s so important – I can’t emphasize this enough – to have the confidence and peace of mind that the work has been done correctly, and that Park Place stands behind it.

An abundance of Bluebonnets and one Daisy (the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel) were on display.

Cliff’s Ramblings by Cliff Blackshear
B
y the time you read this, the May Memorial Weekend Club Race will have concluded. It’s mid May and we Mav’s are hosting a Club Race on Memorial day weekend. I absolutely love this event. I’ve worked in tech inspection for many events in a row and just love the experience. It’s fun to be an observer. Plus, it is at Eagles Canyon where David and Linda Cook are the track owners and just a delight to be around. We are so lucky to have them in the area. If ya ever get the chance to have a libation with them and discuss all things automotive, you will be highly entertained as they are an amazing couple. I already envision how things will unfold for the race. Friday, in tech, we will weigh a huge number of cars and the PCA Scrutineer will be there to check logbooks as well as help new, first time racers get their logbooks in order. This will go into the evening till maybe 7:00 PM. First time race cars will be looked over very carefully. Are the belts properly wrapped and pinned? Is the battery tied down correctly? Is the cage correct and safe as well as legal? Does the shut off system work correctly? Many, many things to consider. For me, I want the driver to be safe. I leave it to the scrutineer to decide if it is correct for the class entered in. It’s so fun to meet the drivers, see their cool cars and just send them on their way ready for friendly (most of the time), combat. Workers for grid, hot pits, flag stations will meet each morning around 7 AM. Then be on station around 7:50 AM. Checking in on radios to control just before 8:00 am. “Cars on course” at 8:00 sharp. 99.99% of this will be orchestrated by volunteers from our club. I marvel at every ones ability to tie everything together. Multiple people always stand out in my “Club Race World.” I’ll name some here quickly and know I’m leaving many out (please forgive me). Bob Benson, always seems to be in hot pits and on top of everything. His wealth of experience is amazing in this realm. Jan Mayo, will be working grid. She seems to dance among the cars lining them up with perfect precision, and that always present smile. Lisa Steele, will appear to be in about 20 places at one time. If you need something she can make it happen. Christy Payne, can find anyone you need to talk to and always knows who is assigned to what task. Christy is always available for anything needed. Plus the ever present Wendy Shoffit, who also seems to be in about 20 places at once as well.
PCA Race Weekend
Well guys it is the women and a few token guys that make this gig go. Joel Nannis, Michael Wingfield, Keith Olcha, etc. are crucial in this endeavour and there’s too many more to mention. I know I sit and marvel at everyone’s hard work and prowess at this event every year. Yet it is the girls that run this gig..... How funny is that? Once test and tune is done on Friday, business gets serious on Saturday. DE (solo only) is perfectly intermixed with all the race activity and that is so cool. Practice sessions will begin, then sprints. Practice starts are always entertaining to watch, will take place. So many classes of cars will be on course. For me too many classes and rules to spend time figuring out. I’ll just strive to make sure they are safe if they come into tech inspection. But, it’s the cars, drivers and all those workers that make the whole event so fun to simply watch from the technician perspective. Cup cars, Boxster’s, 993’s, 964’s, Carrera’s, SC’s, mechanical injected and those with carburetors, early lightweight 911’s, 968’s, 944’s, 914’s some of the cars turbocharged. This is fun stuff. Sunday will roll around and we will see how things sort out. By then we will have had a great party Saturday night, much will have been discussed about track conditions, who is quick and who might be sandbagging. Who broke and where that situation is. Another cool thing is that everyone helps everyone. If one participant needs a part or a special tool and someone else has it? No problem. People jump right in and help each other make grid. Not only help with a part or tool, but jump in and lend a hand in any way needed. That is so awesome. I want to dedicate some time here to the flag and safety people. The folks in our region that work the individual corners, grid, hot-pits etc. at all the different race tracks are amazing to me. I’ve worked as a corner worker for CVAR on a couple occasions as a novice workers, trying not to make a mistake. That experience has given me a chance to realize just how good these people are. A huge number of them have worked thousands of events. Events ranging from Formula 1, ALMS, NASCAR, SCCA, 2 wheeled events etc. When on station at a corner, it is best to have someone looking upstream and someone looking downstream. Plus someone for communication with race control. That is what I understand to be a minimum number needed for each corner station. Each person has to be so observant. They have a racers life in their hands in so many ways. If an incident

A Novice View: 1971 Sun Valley Porsche Parade by Andrew S. Chisholm
A
s a young rookie Porsche owner, I discovered the benefits of PCA membership after joining in 1969. What really got my attention was this wonderful Panorama magazine that appeared in my mailbox each month. In the days when there were no electronic means of communication (as we practice today), and Porsche ownership was somewhat rare, this magical Porsche-only publication was a real treat to receive.
went from Porsche to Porsche, taking notes and pictures and talking to most anyone who would listen. What a wonderful day! The owners of the Porsches displayed all seemed to have a special story about their cars and were anxious to tell the story. Back at the Lodge late that afternoon, I thought that this sort of gathering was not just about the cars, but the very special people who drive them. Maybe there is a slogan brewing there.
Panorama’s pages included lovingly written articles about Porsche cars and the people who drove them. It featured advertising of Porsche stuff to buy, upcoming events to attend, Porsche factory news and stories of Porsche racing from all over the world. One event that caught my eye was the annual PCA convention, referred to as the Porsche Parade. In 1971, Sun Valley, Idaho would be the location. I just had to attend.
I was real nervous about the autocross. If there is any event where I can display my skills, the autocross is it. On Wednesday morning, I showed up early to make sure that I was prepared. First, the 912. Just take all movable items from the interior and trunk, take off the hubcaps (yes, hubcaps) and adjust the tire pressures. For a “stock” class Porsche, that is about it and not much has changed over the years. As for driver prep, walk the course and make sure you know exactly where you want to go. One main thing about the autocross game is not to hesitate while you wonder where the course goes.
I must admit being somewhat intimidated at attending such an extravaganza. Some of those famous people mentioned in the “Pano” would be there. No one from my region was going to attend. How would I do competing against all of those experienced and accomplished Porsche drivers? Maybe I should sit this one out. Or just attend and take pictures. I decided to enter the autocross and the hill climb competition. At least I had some local autocross experience. After a wonderful trip in my 1969 912, I drove into the parking lot of the Sun Valley Lodge. It was a beautiful place, but my first fear had come true. There I was in the midst of hundreds of Porsches and I knew no one. However, no sooner than I had switched off the ignition, I was approached by an official-looking guy in a Castrol Oil hat. Uh oh, I must be parked in the wrong place. He had spotted my Virginia license plates and came over to introduce himself. Turns out he was Dan Rowzie of the Potomac region. Dan and I had met at a couple of PCA events back east, and he was one of those famous people with his name in the Pano, as he served as the National Public Relations guy for PCA. Dan introduced me to the members of his group and invited me to park with them in the concours prep parking lot. So much for not knowing anyone 2000 miles from home! Tuesday was concours day with over 100 Porsche cars displayed for judging. It is hard to explain the impression that spectacular scene had on me. I used all of the film for my camera that I had brought with me and wished I had more. I 20
The Sun Valley autocross was held on public streets, some of which were roads in front of houses and condos not yet built. This made for kind of a “road cross”, fun to drive and safe for the drivers. The 912 class was well represented, with 23 cars entered as four cylinder Porsches were pretty common. As the 912 group lined up for the start, I thought I should have a pretty good chance to do well. Lots of different colors and years of 912s were staged, but all seemed somewhat the same, making it close to a “spec” class. The flagman waived the green and I was off on my first Porsche Parade autocross. This was big time for me and I wanted to make a good showing. I did OK following the course, made a couple of mistakes in the “turn around” area where I thought I should shift to first gear and ultimately finished 7th in class. I was kind of disappointed with my performance, but only 2.34 seconds from the first place time of 1:51.69. At the autocross banquet, I was awarded a trophy for my efforts and received applause from those in attendance. Wow, I was one notch down from the Indy 500! Upon arriving home, I had all of my pictures developed and thought that I sure would like to have one of my 912 in action during the autocross. A great idea would to be to put a request in the Mart section of Pano, so I sent in
an advertisement to the Wanted section. After all, lots of people were there and maybe someone would have a picture that they would share. I never got a response from my ad, but the Pano editor took note of my request and published a picture of my 912 and me in action at the Sun Valley autocross. There, in the September, 1971 issue of the Porsche Panorama, for all the world to see forever, is a picture of me autocrossing with the windshield wipers on full blast. It was not raining. Be careful of what you wish for. In the minds and memories of all who attended the Sun Valley Parade, it has always been known as one of the best ever, especially for it’s time. I was fortunate to have been there. I have that 7th place trophy around here somewhere, but the memories of the folks who were there remain today. People such as Dan Rowzie, Walt Woodhead and Bob Harper and their friends and family of the Potomoc Region made my first Porsche Parade a neat experience. My attendance at 28 Porsche Parades since has added many more lifetime Porsche friends as the years have gone by. Check out the next Parade, where ever it may be held, for lifetime memories of your own. Oh, one more thing. I have been practicing at this autocross thing and want you six guys who beat me in Sun Valley to know that I want a re-match!
Continued Ramblings occurs in their area of responsibility, much has to be done instantly. Warn oncoming cars of a situation, digest the event and record car number/color, communicate with race control, be prepared to rush to a car with serious problems such as fire, driver impact trauma, etc. Know how to put out a fire, extract a driver from a car, it is very serious when any incident occurs. When lunchtime occurs and everyone gathers, you will see this group come in and sit together for some quick food before going right back on station. Go say hello. Good people. I know for a fact that almost all the drivers on course will give each corner station a wave on their cool down lap as a show of recognition and respect. I’ve also seen some come by after the track goes cold and just say hello and be sure these workers know they are appreciated. After the first time I worked an event on a corner I made sure that when this Club Race event comes around my shop has something just for them. It isn’t a big deal, but I want them to be a little more appreciated at the event my shop sponsors. A tee shirt or cap, something to show our appreciation. This, to me is the best time of year. Good weather, many events, everyone is coming out of the winter cave...... Just Ramblin Along!, Cliff

Member Spotlight: Wade Andres by Andrea Bell
I
am pleased to introduce to you another new Maverick member this month, Wade Andres. Wade comes to us with quite a history of Porsches in his family. One of those cars is a 1991 964 C4 that he bought new with a trade in of a Guards Red 1986 Coupe. He says he drove off regretting leaving the clutch, steering and long throw shifter for an easy chair car. He said you can tell when my son Zach is driving the 964, because he puts the tail up! It has 42,000 miles and has been lowered with big torsion bars. Until last Sunday’s autocross, he thought those were going to be decent modifications. Instead, he learned that he should have kept his first Porsche, a 1973 914, green 2.0. In ‘83 he wanted to turn it into a track car, but got busy
Start Packing!
with graduate school, earning a living, etc. It turned out to be a great weekend car for hauling bikes to White Rock Lake and was eventually it was replaced by a 1983 Carrera. That ‘83 turned into an ‘86, and a first marriage. The ‘91 was purchased with an $8,000 discount from Porsche after the best deal you could make on the car. At the time, the performance numbers appealed to a big block teenager so it was done, with early regrets. However, Wade’s sons, Travis, now 19, and Zach, now 17, grew up in the ‘91 so it is hard to lose. Wade added, “Also there is something about an air cooled car, the way they sound, handle, smell - it is a lost era.” He’s hoping he can make it into a fun car that the boys and he can both enjoy. In 2006, he wanted a new car and found the ‘06 S - a wonderful, beautiful car. He added, it is big, fast and comfortable, but not as engaging as the air cooled. Two years ago, he purchased an ‘05 Turbo S RUF 550. He said, “It is a car that is a status symbol - you are not worthy! It will push your eye balls back in their sockets crazy, but like I said, a status symbol.” Wade has also raced in the American Power Boat Association and then later on sport bikes but said he realized the safety percentages were no longer in his favor.

Wade added that he has already been really impressed with the friendliness that he has encountered in every PCA event that he has been involved in and added the Maverick website is great. He said he really looks forward to making some great friends and enjoying a sport that he can really enjoy and share with his kids. He added at the end, “Hey Autocross guys - I will not look at my times, nor squeal my tires! But watch out because I might be a sleeper! I may be too old to ever get into their league – but I want to try!” We are pleased to have Wade and his family, join our Maverick family.

Happy Hour at Bavarian Grill by Chris Christensen
S
prechen sie Deutsch? It would be fun even if we did remember just a little of our High School or College German for that matter. We all know the story today regarding our European friends, most speak at least two languages fluently. So if you want to practice your German while downing a few Pilsner brews it is entirely possible to do so at the Bavarian Grill. Look at this way…if you visit often enough you may even become fluent or at least well indoctrinated in German biers and wines…or both. Andrea (the owner) will happily accommodate and reciprocate in perfect English if need be. What a cool place to have a Porsche Happy Hour and we might add immensely popular with Mavericks. About 40 Porschephilles showed up with an array of their Porsche’s parked in a more than ample parking lot. Parking is much appreciated when we have to park our beautiful cars, so it is especially nice to park next to another Porsche – then we know they will not be dinged – right? We are also sure the executives at Zuffenhausen would approve of the Bavarian Grill and what also is amazing; so many Mavericks came out on tax day…wow! Those returns must have generated some extra cash! What is also interesting is the number of Porsche’s in the Metroplex, and the size of the Maverick membership – about a thousand folks in all. And that represents just a small segment of local Porsche owners. If all those non-members knew they were entitled to a PCA discount at the local Porsche dealers maybe more would join – spread the word! Since Happy Hours seem to focus around Mexican food, mainly because it is very prevalent in the Dallas area and also because of its moderate pricing, it is a nice change of pace to partake of German food. The Bavarian Grill advertises the largest Schnitzels in Texas! Well what exactly is a Wiener schnitzel anyway you might ask? Really it is just a thin cut of meat coated in bread crumbs and then fried. (Hey we never promised healthy-just good). It is a very popular part of the Viennese and Austrian cuisine. Traditionally it is served with a side of lingonberry jam or cranbury sauce. The traditional Wiener is made of veal and sometimes pork. One of the highlights of the Grill is the service. We had a pretty big crowd and the service staff was very professional…hats off to them, they work hard. So milling around we discovered some new faces in the crowd…and please if we missed anyone we are very sorry. Maybe we need to have a sign-in table for all those new Mavericks. 24
Joining us at HH for the first time was Brad and Jen Nesbitt, who recently joined PCA and drive a 1999 Boxster, welcome to you both and we might add a good choice for your first Porsche. Also Charlie Capers who just joined as well, Charlie drives a 2008 Cayman S. Again, our apologies if we missed including anyone. We are sure everyone enjoyed listening to Rich Keesecker and his expert renditions of Bavarian folk music, we were well entertained. Rich is a member of the Bavarian Music, Culture, and Folk Dance Preservation Society of Dallas. And then there was a surprise with Ed Mullinex keeping the beat on the spoons, and singing along in key. Who knew? We have lots of talent in our group! Happy Birthday was played on cow bells by the staff – Happy Birthday again to Mike Lockas! We won’t ask how old Mike… The next Happy Hour will be back to the Wild Wood Grill in Southlake. Located at 2700 E. Southlake Blvd. See you all there!

April Showers bring what? Dirty cars to MSR!! By Carrie Carrera
O
ur second Driver Education event of the 2010 season had a very wet start. Most of the Dallas metro-plex was under very heavy rain showers from the wee hours of the morning that continued during our collective pilgrimage to Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX on Saturday morning, April 24th. So for those of us who had street tires, that is rain tolerant tires, on our track cars were able to make the trip in our – what were – clean cars. Those on trailers also probably started out clean. However, by the time we arrived, most of us were covered with rain spray. Oh darn. And of course, as we are heading to the club house, the rain stops!! After our driver’s meetings were completed, the track had started to dry in the rising sun and clearing clouds. The instructors had their first session, and thank you – they pretty much dried out the track. The rain stayed away the rest of the weekend, and heck, the cars didn’t look so dirty coming out of big bend headed for rattlesnake turn. Thank you to Park Place Porsche for their generous sponsorship and attendance at the event. All pre-registered entrants received a very nice duffle bag with the event insignia – probably the nicest event give-away I’ve seen in 25 years of PCA!! Park Place had their banners in place Bob Benson, ready for anything despite the wind, and a great corner in the paddock full of customer and dealership cars. On Saturday our lunch break featured 2 Parade Lap events – our usual charity for the Hope Shelter on the 1.3 track, and a special ‘spirited’ parade lap for the guests of Park Place on the 1.7 track. Dollars were raised to support the new children’s play area.

All smiles for the session
of our teams we saw many promotions from green to blue, blue to blue solo, and yellow to white. This makes room for more green students for the future events. Congrats to our students for running a nice clean event. Our events always run smoothly thanks to our Safety Chairman Bob Benson and his team of happy corner workers. We try to make their day as boring as possible – and we were successful this time. Black Flag was partially managed by Sophie the Wonder Track Dog with owner Team 1 lead instructor Bill Miller. She didn’t mind having to ride in the 914 to the event.
New to our event thanks to DE Chief Sophie and Bill Miller ready their flags Driving Instructor, John Sandusky, is that we now have Blue Group log books. So now we have a great way to track and quantify the progress We had great participation in the DE itself – and a full of our intermediate students on their way to yellow and

beyond. The books were very well received and this generated not only enthusiasm -also a great sense of pride as students got checkmarks in the boxes. The most smiles for the miles – that’s what we say about our DE events. You can even see the smile behind the helmet. Happy Student and Instructor ready for their next session. Our next event is the PCA Club Race over Memorial Day weekend for our students who have reached SOLO status and our club race participants at Eagles Canyon Raceway over Instructor Team 3 lead Lori Memorial Day, and we Mauthe with student look forward to seeing everyone back at Motorsport Ranch for events in September and October, and season wrap-up at Eagles Canyon in November.

Tech Corner by Ed Mullenix
T
he Tops and Dogs tech session was a huge success. We had 25 cars show up, 22 of which had convertible tops. This was an interactive tech session. I started things off by demonstrating how to apply painters tape to the edges of the plastic rear window and then apply a paper barrier. Plastic sheeting was draped on the front, rear, and windows. After proper masking, the top preservative spray was applied according to Porsche recommendations. After watching how to do it, everyone pitched in and we tag-teamed the masking, draping, and spraying. The first car required about 25 minutes or so to complete. By the time we got to the last round of cars (we were treating four at a time), we had it down to less than ten minutes per car. The top treatment is one of those tasks that you know needs to be done, but like cleaning the garage, you try to put off as long as possible. We all had a great time doing something that otherwise would not have been all that entertaining. There was much conversing, admiring each other’s cars, and camaraderie. There were several spouses in attendance enjoying their time together as they coalesced together and engaged in conversation. Not

Tops & Dogs
sure if they were praising our efforts or criticizing our obsession with our cars. While we were busy treating tops, my bride Donna was busy tending the grill. She is from Wisconsin, where apparently they don’t care for, own, or tolerate gas grills. I dragged our Weber and necessary supplies down to the shop. We had food that started with “B” (brats, burgers, beans, and beer) and surprisingly there were no leftovers! The timing of the top treatment is arbitrary. It probably should be done prior to the summer, when the UV index is greatest the top spray not only protects against rain, it also acts like “sunscreen.” Not sure how many of you are art aficionados, but next year, we might try to have the tech session on the same weekend as the Cottonwood Art Festival. We could spray our tops in the morning, and check out the offerings at Cottonwood in the afternoon. Just a thought, let me know what you think. Several members were excited about the inter-active tech session. They wanted to know if the club was planning any more tech sessions like this one. I invite your ideas on what we could do on a future DIY tech session. We all had a wonderful time. It’s not our fantastic cars, it’s the people that make our club so enjoyable! Ed
