Shifting Gears: Drivers’ Education – Try It, You’ll Like It! By Jim Falgout, Region President
W
ow! Your club is still growing. At the end of April we were three members shy of 2,400. That is great. I hope it is because we offer plenty of opportunities for folks to enjoy their special auto, a Porsche, and fellowship with others. Another milestone: this year PCA, Porsche Club of America, celebrates its 60th anniversary. PCA is the largest auto club for a single marque in the world. As I write this, some of our members are on their way to Austin to participate or volunteer in the Club Race and Solo DE at the Circuit of the Americas racetrack. What a great opportunity! Word is that volunteers will get to drive on the track during charity laps. If you are not familiar with charity laps, let me enlighten you. At all of our Drivers’ Education (DE) events, we offer an oppor“If you are tunity for both DE participants not familiar and non-participants to drive with charity the course in a follow-the-leader laps, let me formation. It gives participants enlighten you. another opportunity to deterThey give non- mine their lines, and it gives participants non-participants an opportunity an opportunity to see how it feels to drive their to see how it Porsche on a track. The speed is feels to drive controlled and there is no passtheir Porsche ing, so it does not put any wear on a track.” on the vehicle. I would encourage you to go out to our next DE, which will be in September, and do two things: observe how others are driving on the course during the sessions, and then drive in the charity laps to see how it feels. (A donation is required to participate in charity laps. The funds go to our charity, Hope House.) Early in my membership, we had a Sunday Drive which ended at a DE. All of the Sunday Drivers were invited to take the charity laps. I determined during that event that I wanted to really enjoy my Porsche on a track, driving it fast in a safe environment. I do not get to participate in many DE’s but when I do, I really enjoy them. While we do not have a DE in June, we have many other events for 2 June
SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 817-329-6995 you to enjoy your Porsche and fellowship. Please check out the calendar in Slipstream or on our website, mav.pca.org. Of course, I was not going to omit an appeal for volunteers. I have challenged all committee chairs to get assistants. YOUR CLUBS WANTS YOU . . . to get involved. You will really be glad you did.
Mav of the Month We have many members who have passion for their Porsche and the club. No one exhibits that more than our MAV of the MONTH. I asked her to take on a committee and she has gone above and beyond in fulfilling that role. She cares especially deeply about new members. Even with a career that demands a great amount of her time, she finds time to not only do an outstanding job with her committee, but also help other committees. Our MAV of the Month is Stephanie Ho. Thank you Stephanie for all you do.

Around the Bend... By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
W
ith an unusally wet spring that continued through the month of May this year, Mav members have had a challenge keeping their rides clean after their exercise regimen. Fortunately, our drives, rallies, and many other club events have somehow been able to miss these showers and carry on as planned. Each month, Slipstream attempts to bring our members highlights of the multitude of club happenings as well as updates on the many upcoming opportunities for your participation. I appreciate the many members who serve as authors of these articles in addition to those members who actively contribute photographs to provide visual interest to the stories. Beginning with this issue, I’m going to introduce the concept of a “hybrid” magazine. No, don’t worry, theprint version of Slipstream you’ve come to know and love is not undergoing any radical changes. For example, Wendy Shoffit publishes each Slipstream in PDF format via our club website. The advantage of that version starts with it being in full-color and continues with online links being
available to give you even more content than what is on the printed pages. You can get each issue in PDF format at http://mav.pca.org/ under the Newsletter tab. I’ll also begin including QR codes to enable you to use your mobile device to access even more information. Search “QR code” to get a reader for your phone or other mobile device. As an example of the concept for the Slipstream hybrid, use this QR code to check out what Porsche is thinking about a possible 911 hybrid option with the next scheduled update of that model. And remember, I provide daily updates to remind you of club and other Porsche events and news via our Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/ MaverickPCA and hashtag of #mavpca. Finally, don’t forget to update your wardrobe for this summer driving season by visiting our online club Goodie Store as noted below. Read on to see what’s “around the bend” in this month’s issue!

Gimme a Minute: May Board Meeting By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary
P
resident Jim Falgout started the meeting at 6:59 PM. He continues to encourage Event Chairs to find assistants to help out or step in should the
need arise. Secretary Wendy Shoffit reported that she and James had a fabulous time in Germany, thanks to the support of Maverick Region (the trip was a raffle prize at the 2012 Founders’ Day celebration) and the help of Linda Bambina. The Club Race at COTA was the following weekend and was looking good. We should be financially profitable with it. There is an upcoming DE on May 23-24 (Memorial Weekend) that could use an entrant boost. Autocross Chair Wes Lincoln couldn’t attend the meeting, but sent a report that the autocross school will be Saturday, May 30 (entry fee $40) followed by an autocross (a “mirror-cross”) on Sunday, May 31, which is free for school entrants and $35 for others. He is also working with the BMW club for a combined event in the fall. Details to come. Concours Chair Andy Kay said he enjoyed the DE he participated in very much and had excellent instruction. He reported that the April Detailing Clinic at Jack’s Garage had about 30 attendees (including some new members), which was a great success. The May at Mayo’s event had 120 for dinner and 38 cars in the show. He presented two “Best in Show” awards (one for air-cooled and one for water-cooled cars). He has products generously donated by Griot’s Garage to give away at several events. Next is Autos in the Park on Sunday, June 7 at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. Treasurer Richard Solomon said we have roughly $137K in the bank. We are a little above break-even for last year (income versus expenses). DE is currently operating with a small loss this year, but that should
6 June
change. He suggested we promote the Goodie Store more. David Robertson filled in for wife, Social Chair Tracy Robertson. Founders’ Day will again be at Bent Tree in November. He also reported that May at Mayo’s was a great event. PR Chair Linda Bambina commented that Jim and Carey are doing great with the Slipstream schedule! She will be looking for an article about the COTA race. She is also looking for the Maverick Region banners for use at the upcoming Autos in the Park event. Editor Jim Hirsch expressed his appreciation for all the article writers and photos sent (complete with captions!). We are increasing the print number again for mailings, as needed. The deadline for the July issue will be June 8 (instead of June 10) to accommodate his travel schedule. He asked about a club calendar that was mentioned earlier this year. Distribution was discussed, mailing or selling in person at Founders’ Day. He also mentioned the upcoming printed directory. We will give members two months to opt out. Co-Editor Carey Spreen is glad to be Jim’s assistant. To show appreciation for the donated goodies, we will be sending Griot’s Garage a copy of the newsletter each month. Sunday Drive Chair Tom Martin reported that Neill Flood is his assistant and is actively working to recruit a few more helpers. The April Bluebonnet drive was great. Despite a bad forecast, it turned out to be good weather. Unfortunately, because of the Bluebonnet Festival, the roads were a bit too crowded and the restaurant that promised space was also overwhelmed. That won’t be a problem for the May 30 “Little Ranch on the Prairie” drive, which will have a catered meal. That event might be the first ever drive to make a small profit. A beautiful drive is coming up in the fall thanks to the help of some of our East Texas members. Rally Chair Don Sebert said he had a wonderful rally on April 25 with a
May 6, 2015 great 21-car turnout. George Luxbacher is his Rally assistant. At the rally they gave trophies out to 5th place, plus a “Dead Last But Finished” and ”Good Job” award (given to enthusiastic new members). Unfortunately, they didn’t have a good place or time during the event to hand out awards, but they will work on improving that for next time. He has received THREE articles for Slipstream about the event. The next rally will be in the fall. Check back for dates and details. Calendar Chair Brendan Eagan has worked to improve the look of online calendar events, including pictures. He will work to get a 6th grader to assist, since he admits that most 6th graders could do his job! DE Chair Chris Tabor has Daren Kirbo as an assistant. He commented that when picking dates last year for this year’s events, he unfortunately picked some bad ones, but will work to improve that for next year. For example, he will be dropping the March (spring break) event next year. The track costs have gone up and attendance has gone down, which has put us a bit financially in the hole for the year. We will continue to encourage DE attendance. Mark Schnoerr suggested that we promote the gentler side of DEs. Drivers do NOT have to beat their cars up and run through tires excessively. He would also like to promote other driving events of interest to members. Membership Chairs Tom and Susan Froehlich reported 1539 primary and 857 affiliate members for a total of 2396. Slightly down from last month. Monthly Dinner Social Chair Stephanie Ho is excited that the event at Lavendou is coming up. She has 130 interested, but only 115 slots guaranteed. There is great interest and wishes there was more space. Jim Falgout ended the meeting reporting that Stephanie Ho is our Mav of the Month. Congratulations! Meeting was adjourned.

“ . . . it’s the people”: Team Howard By Linda Bambina, PR Chair
T
ravis and Robyn Howard have been very active members of Maverick Region since 2003. They are approachable, dedicated to the club, and excellent drivers in a Region filled with many top-notch drivers. Their contributions to the Region and area are of epic proportion. “Robyn and Travis have a passion for Porsches, but a bigger passion for helping others.” - Bryan Bell (past AX Chair and Maverick VP) Travis has been Time Trial Chair since 2008, and in 2013 also assumed the position of Autocross Chair, stepping down at the end of 2014. Prior to taking on that additional position, he worked very hard to train prior AX Chairs and worked seamlessly with them to put on great driving events.

She was even the Region’s Top Ladies’ Driver in 2011. Not be outdone, Travis won the Mens’ Top Driver the following year! Now that’s a great driving team! Not only did Robyn and Travis run the AX/TT events, but they continue to participate in other organizations’ events to get other ideas and build camaraderie. Robyn actively promotes our events using social media. As a couple, they have put on the annual Autocross School event since 2010. This is the introductory level event for many new drivers who are curious about how these beautiful cars are REALLY meant to be driven. Not only do they set up the logistics of the event, they recruit instructors and workers to make it an event that is unforgettable for attendees.

It’s a constant battle keeping the thing moving, but he’s always up for the task. Robyn has chaired our annual Swap Meet event since 2010. She provides enthusiasm sweeter than the doughnuts they bring in the morning. This is a great opportunity for members to come find great deals while socializing with PCA friends. Our Driver Education program was enhanced when Travis took over the very difficult task as Gridmaster in 2010. He did such a great job, he was invited to be Gridmaster at our PCA Club Race that same year. He is now “Gridmaster T” at the multiregion Club Race at Circuit of the Americas. The COTA event is one of the largest Club Races in the country and Travis, along with wife Robyn and a grid team, do a job that is second to none.
Travis and Robyn don’t just care about the Porsche Club and its members. They are also huge supSince 2011, Robyn has contributed porters of our Region’s charity, the in a major way to the AX/TT proHope House. They find ways during gram, having been the Registrar for the year to raise every event.

Travis’ first Porsche (his self-proclaimed mid-life crisis car) was the ‘85 911. Mechanic Travis does the work on all of their Porsches (and a few other cars we won’t mention here). Their backyard has turned into a fabulous looking parking lot -- the envy of the neighborhood.
Travis and Robyn with Region VP Gareth Maurice stirring up trouble at an All Member Party Day event, Robyn is a happy bidder for the silent auction, from which all proceeds go directly to the shelter. Travis takes it even one giant step further. He considered the cause so important that he selected the Hope House to be his charity of focus with his employer, who matches 50% of Travis’ donations. Travis has even gotten three of his co-workers to support the Hope House as well, and their donations also receive the company match! This is an amazing charity, and the Howards’ dedication and support of this cause is evident. The Howards aren’t content with owning just one Porsche. Their love of the marque has drawn them to
Maverick Region has realized the importance of the contributions made by both Robyn and Travis. As such, Travis has been recognized twice as “Maverick of the Month” and received the coveted Richard F. Selcer Memorial Award in 2013. Robyn was honored with the Gregg Murrell Driving Enthusiast Trophy in 2014. “I have been going to races almost every year since the late 80s and I can say that Travis runs the TT & AX as well as the best have done it in the past. Our weekends run smoothly and he is the guru who keeps the electronics going. To his credit he does two jobs with a smile on his face. The Club has lots of great folks— Travis is at the front of that pack.” - Richard Diller (30 yr. Mav, driving 152 miles each way to attend our events.)

The Tub Club Gets Creative: Glassblowing at SiNaCa By Barbara Madsen

welve Tub Club members had an opportunity on April 11 to express their creativity while attending a glass blowing session at SiNaCa Studios’ School of Glass and Gallery. The studio is housed in an antique service station close to the historic district in Fort Worth. Janet Brown, a Tub Club member, organized the event. She did a fabulous job of disseminating information about the event to other members, plus she made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the activity.

Tub Club members watch the demonstration attentively carefully demonstrated the step-bystep process of making a bowl from a glob of molten glass, the object d’art being made during this session. Everyone listened carefully to both the instructions and cautions in working with hot glass. A long
during the procedure. Since there were four SiNaCa instructors, only two people at a time could make their bowls. This was still enjoyable for the ones waiting, however, as everyone could watch the activity repeatedly while learning more about blowing glass. No two bowls were alike, and it was fun to see how different color combinations turned out. After all the bowls were made, Clifton gave a brief lesson on glass and the history of glass blowing. It was both an informative and creative day for all who attended.

The process began by adding colored crystals to the molten glass, and culminated with a unique bowl ready to go into the annealer, where it would slowly be allowed to cool over several hours. Throughout each of these steps, SiNaCa employees individually guided each person

Bartonville-Frisco Gimmick Rally: A New Rallyist Perspective By Meg Moore
A
Photo by George Luxbacher
fter a week of chilly stormy weather, the morning of the Maverick Porsche Rally dawned bright and dry. Except for the rare puddle, it was going to be a good day for a rally.
-- who’s going to have time for that? One of the tiebreaker elements was to circle each state we “drive over, through or by” and my husband immediately said, “Oh my gosh, they have us going all the way to Oklahoma!” The other tiebreaker was to count all of the birdhouses along the way. As the navigator, I freaked a little at the thought of that.
We pulled into the Bartonville Shopping Plaza, and there they were, 20 or more sparkling Porsches . . . and that little tickle in my stomach that I get when I see one is multiplied into a frenzy of calm excitement. As we walk over to the other team members, we visit and enjoy
We reviewed all those pages (so many pages) quickly and walked to our car, telling ourselves that we’re not going to take this too seriously. It’s all for fun, right? Then we got in the line-up of beautiful cars to take our turn at the fun. Just listening to two dozen Porsches idle is worth it, then to look around and see passersby stop and point is kind of heady. Of course most Porsche owners don’t get a car for that reason, it’s just the love of the machine; it can still make you feel proud.
Starting point at the Bartonville Shopping Plaza getting to know new people and their different stories of how they came to be Porsche owners. Rally Co-Chairs Don Sebert and George Luxbacher called a drivers’ meeting for some general housekeeping, to give details of the route, and to note what we could expect and what we would not encounter. They joked about how some couples may require therapy afterwards, and implored us to try not to take it all too seriously. Different acronyms were used and defined, and hints were dropped. We struggled to absorb it all and try not to get too stressed over it. Then they handed out the packets of rules, cryptic directions, 24 images of things to make note of along the way, score sheet with more items to notate, and even a glossary 16 June
There were Don and George again, accepting our score sheets and asking how we liked the rally. We chatted a bit, then headed over to the railroad museum. We toured giant steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, passenger cars, a caboose, and the once first class of the railways, Pullman cars, all brought to life by a very knowledgeable guide. Hungry, we made our way over to Babe’s Chicken to join the club for a hearty meal and exchange stories of the rally. We were amused to learn that we tied for second place with two other teams. Remember those tiebreakers? Well, we walked away with a 3rd place award! At the end of the day, it’s not for an award, it’s entirely for the adventure, sights, and fellowship that we participate. Thank you Maverick Region for another wonderful event. We are proud to be members and fortunate to be Porsche owners!
The route was amazing, bringing that old song, “Over the river and through the woods…” Bartonville-‐Frisco Railway Rally to life. Beginning in the April 25, 2015 contemporary commu- Car Driver/Navigator nity of Lantana, we quickly found ourselves in a much 10 Frank/Laura Holaday more rural setting, pass9 Tom Cundari/Mary Anderson ing by horse ranches and 13 Hayward/Meg Moore farmland. Then before we 21 Myra/Jerry Sutton knew it we were crossing a 11 Mathew/Linda Krebs bridge over a now-full Lake 12 Victor/Zeza Verissimo Lewisville. We passed, and 18 David/Kathy Ward took note of “fantasyful” 16 Jim/Phyllis Gallegos birdhouses, billboards that 8 Gig Philipp/Cathy Toledo seemed out of place, rusty 14 Joe/Melanie Fernandez tractors that looked like 15 Pam/Jim Adams huge pieces of art, signs 4 Mark/Cyndee Ebbeling that filled us with relief that 17 Randy Osgerby/Mike Krifger we were still on the right 5 Chris/Gabe Sorrells path, storefronts that were 20 Mitch Mitchell/Gary Phelps straight out of yesterday, 2 Tom/Jan Martin and so on. With just over 7 Brenda Dranow/Pam Swan 68 miles racked up, we 3 Robert/Joyce DiRienzo ended at the Museum of 19 Greg/Mathew Sebert the American Railroad in 1 Alex Mackenzie/George Hern Frisco. 6 Bill/Judy Bradley

Saturday Drive: Ennis Bluebonnet Tour By Neill Flood, Sunday Drive Co-Chair
Photos by George and Dee Luxbacher
S
pring driving tours can sometimes be a little tricky due to the increased possibility of rain, but we were truly fortunate with the Ennis Bluebonnet Tour as blue skies were plentiful on a gorgeous Saturday. The event began at an abandoned bank parking lot in Hutchins, where we counted 54 Porsches. I’ve always looked forward to seeing the variety of cars that attend these events, and this tour was no different, with aircooled 911s up to the current model lineup present. Once everyone had the opportunity Drive Co-Chairs to do some tire Neill Flood and kicking and Tom Martin chat, Tom Marbrief the group tin gave us a safety briefing, and we were off! With this drive, there was an emphasis on taking in the excellent scenery and each attendee was encouraged to bring a camera to capture the sights. The route was about 85 miles and included straights and of course some twisty sections for everyone’s enjoyment. I’ve heard a
nic opportunities to be found. Each stopping point included unique settings from rolling hills to rustic farm houses. My favorite spot was an old abandoned house just off the road, with Bluebonnets everywhere!
Two yellow Porsches hoping for some good contrast with the Bluebonnets lot about how beautiful the fields of Bluebonnets are in this part of the state, and this drive didn’t disappoint. In fact, the rolling hills of bright floral colors must be seen especially when the Bluebonnets are in full bloom. Each drive group made several stops along the route to allow everyone the opportunity to stretch their legs and snap a few photos. I was surprised to see the amount of tourists we experienced on the remote country roads, and even a couple of chartered buses

Capturing John Harvey in his Carrera Cabriolet while moving is quite a feat modating us. This was also a good opportunity to catch up with fellow Maverick members, another reason the driving tours are so fun.
Stopping along the drive to grab some great photo ops (Photo by Kevin Creed) joined us on the winding route. It was actually quite amusing to see some of the tourists taking pictures of our cars, as it appeared they were as much of an attraction as the Bluebonnets.

Destination Restoration:
A Suspension Odyssey Part 6: Brake Caliper Rebuild
By Ash Seidl-Staley
T
Photo by the Author
he long awaited article about rebuilding brake calipers has arrived—well part one of it at least! As previously mentioned in other articles, I will only be focusing on how to rebuild the front calipers, although the procedures outlined below could be used on the rear calipers in a very similar manner.
that feeds brake fluid into the caliper and set your caliper down, being careful not to let brake fluid gush out everywhere.
Questions you might ask yourself are why and when should I rebuild my calipers? More often than not your car’s calipers will be just fine, even with years and years of use. Many well-maintained and regularly driven cars have fully functioning calipers that last beyond the life time of the car. Cars that spend their days sitting inoperable, decaying in fields, and forever stay on the back burner have a higher chance of calipers rusting and seizing.
Once you find your method and have removed the caliper, take it over to your work station and let the remaining fluid drain out of the caliper. Now it is time for the fun part - getting pistons out of their housings. This step can be difficult with a stuck piston but with a little patience all can be achieved. Take a small screwdriver and pop off the retaining clip and rubber boot that surround the pistons. Take a C-clamp and clamp down one of the pistons to keep it in its housing, and then place a small block of wood in between the pistons. Hook up the hose from an air compressor to the hole where the brake line was attached and slowly blow air in to get the piston to creep out. Before it falls completely out, take the C-clamp off of the piston while still in its housing and gently attach it to the extended piston. This keeps the extended piston from moving, and keeps the necessary vacuum needed to push the other piston out. Next, pump in some more air and eventually you should have two extended pistons on your caliper. Remove the wood block and take a rag and pull out each piston. A pair of vise-grips can be used but take care not to scratch or score the smooth sides of the pistons.
A general rule would be to check the condition of the caliper and its pistons when you are changing brake pads. When looking, take note of the overall condition of the caliper, making sure to document the existence of any chips or rust spots on or around the piston faces. A little surface rust is actually ok, but if there are any heavier areas or deep pitting the caliper will probably need replaced. In other drastic cases you might find that the pistons on your caliper are acting like they are stuck, i.e. they won’t go in when you try to press them back into their housings. This was the case with my car’s brakes. The Rusty piston driver’s side caliper had a stuck piston that just wouldn’t budge. Rather than spend many dollars on a refurbished set of calipers, I decided to tackle the rebuild myself. To my surprise the process is actually quite simple, and if you’re lucky you won’t even have to split the caliper into its two halves. To start the rebuild you must first get the caliper off of the car. As always, start by safely jacking up the car. Then remove the wheel, unbolt the caliper from the strut assembly, and pop it off the brake disc, all the while taking care not to bend or break the metal brake line. Taking a 10mm wrench, carefully back out the brake line bolt/ plug on the back of the caliper. Be sure to have extra rags underneath the caliper and around you as these next steps can get a little messy. Remove the bolt/plug
Some tips to stop the fluid from freely flowing out of the brake line include: crimping the rubber brake line coming from the inner fender well, rigging a system to keep the brake pedal in the cabin depressed, or my personal favorite, plug up the bolt with one of the cars brake bleeder grommets.
If an air compressor is unavailable to you, you can hook the caliper back up to the car sans brake pads, and have someone push down on the brake pedal. Similar to the previous method take care not to let just one piston fall out of the caliper. This process should extend the pistons enough to get a grip on them for removal. If neither of these methods has dislodged the stuck piston a final, more barbaric method would be to split the caliper into its two halves, and hit the back side of the calipers with a 2X4 or something similar. You might laugh at this procedure but I have done it and it works wonders, especially for a stubborn 40+ year old rusty 914 caliper.Now that you have separated the caliper and the pistons it is time to clean everything, and replace the inner housing seal. Unfortunately we are out of space for this month, so stay tuned for the caliper clean up and reinstallation in next month’s issue! 23

We feasted on some bonne cuisine Cajun; les fruits de mer, or “marecage”, as we call it dans le bayou. Regarde le menu; il y’a les tooloeloe, sea bob, costeau, mashwarohn, gumbo; even some jambalaya, étouffée, andouille sausage, et le blackened poulet. Mais cher, dere’s some good eatin’ -- woo whee -- I gar-aun-tee! Et bien sûr, there was rice avec tout les entrees! Just like back home, when ta mère starts cooking rice while she makes coffee in the morning, even though she don’t have any idea what she’s serving for dinner. The food was spiced nicely, but not spicy enough for this Cajun palate.

You know cher, when Porsche wants to make a smaller version of one of dere models, they call the prototype a “jun”, as in “junior”. So when they decided to make a smaller version of the Cayenne, they named it a “Cajun”. I think that name was better than “Macan,” mais non?
