Road Ramblings by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President
L
ast month I mentioned how much I look forward to February as the start of the racing season. It begins for me with the Daytona 24 hour Sports Car Race. Congratulations to Kevin Buckler and his Racers Group team for an overall win this year in the #66 Porsche GT3RS. I began buying parts through the mail seven years ago from Kevin when he and his wife Debra were the whole company. Kevin walked me through many an installation talking to me on my cordless phone while I was leaning over the car. Kevin still club races with PCA and is a regular guy. Of course, a GT class car never should have won Daytona in the first place. It was only because of problems with many of the cars in the brand-new Daytona Prototype class that attrition allowed a lower-category car to win first place overall. We’ll see how Grand-Am does this year. I still don’t think there is enough fan and sponsor interest in three sports car organizations- SCCA, Grand-Am, and American Le Mans. We’ll see… So what have I done so far starting in February? I attended Autocross 101 – an introduction to autocrossing, and Karen attended the ladies-only autocross school the day before at Pennington field. She loved it. I’ve only driven my Boxster on the street for the past three months and I forgot where the steering wheel was pointed a few times when the car was sliding. By the time you read this we will have completed our first track event, the Drivers Education at MotorSport Ranch. So what is going on in March? A full calendar, of course, as the weather improves.
you can enjoy working on your own car with your hands and do a better job than most paid-services is good old-fashioned washing, waxing, and interior cleaning. It can be time-consuming but there is nothing like a clean Porsche in-and-out! There are various websites such as www.carcareonline.com that will tell you about techniques, and sell you the cleaning products. Another thing is an oil and filter change, and/or changing the pollen or particle filters on the newer cars. Again, this is about 50% of the total scheduled maintenance on a daily driver over time. There are people who also think routine brake services such as pad replacements and fluid flushing are too complicated for the novice. It’s easier than you think, and in just a couple of years can save you enough money to spend more on other fun car-related stuff. There will be opportunities over the year to attend tech-clinics designed to demonstrate the things you can work on yourself on your Porsche. Finally, next month I’m going put on paper, a frequent dream of pretending what I would acquire (money being no object) if I had to fill a 15-stall warehouse collection of Porsches. Racecars, road cars, and special editions- you name it. All these cars should be drivable. While I might not put much mileage on them, they are theoretically able to run as intended with reasonable notice. Factory mechanics on call! Why don’t you all think about it also and email me with your favorite road and race Porsches. You don’t have to list 15. I’ll take everyone’s favorites and compile a weighted list of our readership’s 15, and my 15. Feel free to add your comments. I bet your list will be more interesting than mine!
...I forgot where the steering wheel was pointed a few times when the car was sliding... There is one more set of autocross and time-trial schools, on March 8-9 this time being held at Mineral Wells, and the first regular timed-event autocross and time-trial weekend of the year will also be out at Mineral Wells at the end of March. Time trials are on Saturday, and autocrosses are on Sunday. The schools are low-pressure, instructive, and fun. Our first dinner social is March 1 as well as our first tour of the year along the Dogwood Trail to Palestine on March 23rd. Please look over the calendar on the first page for the rest of the month’s activities. March 15 marks the long-awaited and much-ballyhooed introduction of the Cayenne Sport Utility Vehicle. I don’t know about you, but feel as if this thing has been written about, talked about, and sneak-previewed for ten years already. And just when a gallon of gas is almost as expensive as a gallon of milk. I guess timing is everything. I read that every Cayenne they will produce for the next 18 months is spoken for. Hopefully our area dealers will have some unveiling parties, etc. I think the Cayenne and the Hummer H2 compete for the most exotic medium-duty tow vehicle. I have often heard people talk at our socials about what services they can or cannot do on their Porsches as far as owner maintenance is concerned. Many people think if you can’t perform a tune-up then you might as well not work on the car at all. I’m not sure about that. One of the biggest areas where

Curves Ahead by Matt Platts, Editor
Cold weather and all, the driving season is officially under way. February was chock-full of teaching and learning, and there’s still ground to be covered. Make sure to examine the calendar closely, you don’t want to miss a Drivers Education, Club Race, Autocross, Time Trial, Rally, or Tour because you failed to plan appropriately. Don’t forget that all of the DEs in our area fill up quickly. If you would like to get in, you must follow the entry rules to the letter. We are also quickly approaching the 2002 Tampa Parade in
Maverick Minutes
June. If you haven’t made your plans already, there may still be a few available spots, so act quickly! You should also consider renewing your PCA membership early if possible. Imagine the disappointment if you were trying to get into a DE only to find out that your membership had lapsed and you had to scurry to renew before the event. You can renew early online at the www.pca.org website. Once again this month, you will have the pleasure of reading articles written by our region’s members. The different points of view expressed by these talented writers is colorful and creative, you can really get a feel for being at the event right along with them. In fact, why don’t you attend the next event with them? Imagine how much fun you could have! Look for me at your next event, I’d love to say “hi”.

e have had another interesting February here in Texas. I can’t think of any other place where you can have 70 degree top-down weather within a week of getting 2 inches of sleet that totally shuts down a metroplex of over 3 million people, then right back to pleasant sunny days just as quickly! One can only wish for nice weather on our event weekends, but that just wasn’t the case for our Ladies Autocross School and Autocross 101 at Pennington Field a few weekends ago. There wasn’t any precipitation, but the temperatures did nothing but drop for the entire weekend. The temperature was somewhere around 30 degrees with a wind chill in the teens for the Sunday morning driver’s meeting! It didn’t seem to matter though, all participants and workers had a great time.

he February board meeting was held on Tuesday February 4th at Lanean Hughes’ abode. Joe McGlohen provided barbeque for dinner. In attendance were Lanean, Wendy Shoffit, Mimi Spreen, Keith Olcha, Michael Wingfield, Mark Steele, Matt Platts, Noby Takahashi, Joe McGlohen, Teri and Charlie Davis, Mike Brodigan, Cody Sears and Bob Knight. The meeting started at 7:05 with Keith's "Round the Room" reports. Mike Brodigan advised that advertising was going well. We've added 2 ads and dropped 1, collected some back fees and plan on selling more 1/4 and 1/2 page ads because of the ease of handling and the higher revenue. Matt Platts stated that the February Slipstream is at press and should be mailed out in the next few days. Teri reported that the rally school was good, although it lost a small amount of money. Teri can forward the class materials to anyone who didn't go to the school. Parade for Dummies which was held at The Prairie House in Carrollton was well attended, even though we had our first SNOW of the year. Noby is planning on requesting insurance for the upcoming events. Mark Steele said TT104 had 25 attendees, which gave everyone plenty of runs. Wendy actually drove Mitch's Miata and beat Bob Benson AND Jan Mayo!! (Oops, should I not have said that ;-) Lanean said that the New Member Party was very well attended, the beautiful weather helped that I'm sure. I want to take a moment to thank Lanean for taking over my part of putting this party together at the last minute. My 100 year old grandmother passed away and I was in Shreveport for her funeral. Thanks again, Lanean. 8
Lanean also said that the February Happy Hour is at Sherlock's Pub. The April 13 Bus lot for AX will have bathrooms and concessions. It will also have bleachers. Due to an IRL conflict at TMS, we can't have the October 12 date, so the alternative is Oct 25 and 26. Sponsor checks for club race have been received. Wendy brought up an addition to the event calendar for July 12 from 11-1 PM at the McKinney Library. It will be an informal concours for kids ranging in age from 12-18. Motion made and passed to add this to the calendar. Joe mentioned that 9 radios need to be replaced for a total of approximately $2300.00 which included carrying boxes. It was decided that we could wait until after the Feb DE to make the expenditure, since we would not need the radios until after that event anyway. Cody requested volunteer workers and instructors for the upcoming driving schools. Volunteers are needed for the Ladies AX on 2/15, AX101 on 2/16 as well as the Mineral Wells event on March 8 & 9. Contact Cody if you are available and would like to help. Last, but not least, the truck! Charlie informed us of a truck that he has found. He actually drove it and said there were some things that would need to be fixed, but overall it looked ok. He checked into insurance coverage. A motion was made to buy the truck for $2000.00. The motion was seconded and approved. Meeting was adjourned at 9:10 pm.
Happy Hour at Railhead by Claire Athy discussion, Dennis and my husband, Gregg, had a discussion about DE, which was the event in which Gregg was most interested.

Since the Railhead was relatively close we decided to go to find out what it was all about. Despite being a bitterly cold night there was a good turnout for the get together, we enjoyed the drinks, the food, and good conversation. The big barbeque sandwiches were delicious, and the french-fries smothered with grilled onions were most unique.

ne of our most fun and unexpected Christmas gifts this year was given to us by two of our children - a membership to the Porsche Club of America. We received lots of PCA materials in the mail, including "Slipstream". We looked them all over and observed that it seemed the Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Tinker Regional Mavericks Club had a large Edwards, and Mark Gluck number of active members who did a variety of exciting and fun things. Then Dennis Chamberlain called and invited us to the Happy Hour at The Railhead on January 16, 2003 to get acquainted with some of the members and to hear more about the various events that the club had to offer. During the phone
John and Marlo Pulliam We had an opportunity to meet quite a few Porsche owners and hear about the specific activities and events they each enjoyed. Since the Goodie Store was open and doing a good business, we ordered our name badges from John, Dee, and Demi Lersch. We did discover that most of the members with whom we spoke had belonged to the PCA for quite a few years and it was obvious while listening to them that their enthusiasm for their cars and the club had not diminished.
Gregg and Claire Athy
I can't begin to remember the names of all those that we met, but in addition to Dennis and the Lerschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, we had the opportunity to talk with Jay Easley and Anastasia Zaruba, Debbie Lage, Joe Rode, Annette Nolte, Mike Brodigan, Keith Olcha, and Tinker Edwards. They all made us feel welcome. Living in Fort Worth we probably won't make it to all the Happy Hours in Dallas but we'll try to make as many as we can. We're also looking forward to doing some of the tours and other scheduled events. According to Dennis, the March 20 happy hour returns to the Saltgrass Steakhouse in Irving, at 635 and MacArthur.

Carrera GT Unveiled in Geneva by PCNA as possible (so-called "downforce"), the Carrera GT has an underbody geometry that can only be found in similar form in pure racing sports cars. The underbody is completely cased in carbon fiber and provides an additional suction effect thanks to its rear diffusor and flow channels.
ATLANTA, FEBRUARY 4, 2003 --- Stuttgart, Germany-based Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG will unveil its V10-powered Carrera GT highperformance roadster in March at the Geneva International Motor Show. With more than 600 horsepower and racing-inspired technology, Porsche's top-of-the-line sports car delivers pure performance.
The Carrera GT also features the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system. Porsche has supplied this component since 2001 and is the first manufacturer to include it in a mass-produced vehicle (the 911 Carrera GT2). A global innovation - the PCCC (Porsche Ceramic Composite Clutch) - transmits power to the drivetrain.
The Carrera GT has a pure racing engine.Its 10-cylinder powerplant with dry-sump lubrication is based on Porsche's 5.5-liter V10 naturally aspirated engine developed especially for racing. For production, technicians at the Development Center in Weissach, Germany, have increased the displacement to 5.7 liters. Maximum output is 612 horsepower (DIN*) at 8,000 rpm, with peak torque rated at 437 poundfeet. The Carrera GT has a top test-track speed of 205 miles per hour (330 k/h) and accelerates from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds. Its specially developed six-speed manual gearbox allows it to go from zero to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 9.9 seconds.
With attainable speeds of more than 186 mph (300 km/h), aerodynamics plays a crucial role. To achieve as high output co-efficients

Porsche developed a new construction concept for road and racing vehicles. The Carrera GT's monocoque and entire sub-frame are made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), and Porsche has applied to patent this technology. Carbon is the only material that, after complex processing, can meet the requirements needed to combine top-class driving performance and driving dynamics with minimum weight at maximum rigidity.
The first Carrera GT models produced at the Porsche plant in Leipzig, Germany, will be delivered to customers at the end of 2003.

Ladies Autocross School by Alicia Reich
H
ave you ever washed your car at 5:30 AM? I did, in preparation for my first Autocross School, held on Feb 15 at Pennington Field in Bedford. I am not an early bird by definition, so this took significant commitment on my part to finally fall out of bed. My Dad told me that the car had to sparkle like a gem or it would not pass Tech Inspection. Of course, I didn’t really believe that bluff, but I’m a wee bit of a neat freak and I just had the urge to make my car shine. With one exception, everyone else at the autocross school had also washed their car at 5:30 AM, because they were all clean despite significant recent rain!
After the first ride, I gulped and feebly told my instructor that I have had “minor” encounters with motion sickness throughout my life. Amazingly, when I took the drivers seat and slowly passed the first few cones, I found that I had left the motion sickness behind in the passenger seat! My instructor, Lisa, specified that the counterclockwise rotation should feel easier than running clockwise, but I found my best results when circling clockwise. After my third run clockwise, the facilitator at my station told me I was driving with only three wheels on the ground! I was shocked and started apologizing, but he laughed at my reaction and said a “three-wheeley” was a good thing. And it sure felt awesome, too!
...My dad told me that the car had to sparkle like a gem or it would not pass tech inspection... I am a junior at Ursuline Academy and started driving to school a year ago, six months after I earned my license. It took a while for Dad to acknowledge that I was a safe driver and grant me the freedom of the road in my own car. Although I have driven a go-cart on a number of occasions and definitely enjoyed it, I had never participated in a driving competition before.

After lunch, our group rotated to the slalom and braking exercises. Out of all the simulations, I found the braking to be exceptionally helpful. Lisa instructed me to calculate the braking distance of my car, and then apply that information to determine a braking point for each corner. This was excellent information and I find myself applying it constantly to my driving habit on the road only a week later.

And what beauuutifuuuul cars they were! The Boxsters are neat, and the 911’s are cool, but my heart was won over by the new Mini. What a cute car! My snazzy ride is a 1990 BMW 525i (Dad calls it “my daily driver”), which clocks at just under 100,000 miles. Dad bought it for Mom when it was three years old, and we’ve taken good care of it since, and it is now most definitely “mine”.
have a g-Analyst or Geez Cube that I can borrow or buy? I plan to write a report for my Physics Class using it once I find one (no kidding!).

Twice during the day I encountered the members of a girl’s soccer team in the restroom. The first time, one of the girls asked if I was a professional race car driver. I immediately giggled and said, “No, just having some fun.” But when I encountered more of the same team later in the day, I surprisingly responded with a proud “yup” before I even realized I opened my mouth. Could this be a subconscious recognition of my goal in life? The girls responded, “that’s so cool,” and as I walked out of the restroom waving bye to my new friends, I sighed giddily after my first encounter with fan adulation.

Christmas at Hope Shelter By Lanean Hughes & Wendy Shoffit
O
Here are some photographs to help us remember the season and maybe even start thinking about what we will be doing to help this worthy cause throughout 2003.
Just look at all the great gifts!
Photo by Lanean Hughes
Dorothee Thielisch’s hand-made stockings were great, they were so big that some of the children could almost fit inside them! If you attended the holiday party at the Leibel’s house, you probably helped to contribute to the the huge pile of stuffed animals and toys under (and around) the Christmas tree. Can you believe that all of that plush was squeezed into Lanean’s 944 Turbo for the trip out to the shelter? We joked that if Lanean got pulled over while driving home that night, that she would surely be able to talk herself out of that situation. What police officer could resist all those cute bears staring out of the back window?

nce again this year, the Maverick Region was able to help out at the Hope Shelter during the 2002 Christmas season. Many members contributed gifts, stuffed animals, stockings, and stocking stuffers. Several deliveries were made during the month of December, all gifts were well received and enjoyed by everyone at the shelter.

Autocross 101 By Bob Lewis
T
his past fall I purchased a Porsche. After the sale I was told that PCA organized great events. I was told that they provided an opportunity to exercise the car and your abilities. Some events were held at high speed race tracks. My eyes glazed over in anticipation. I later found a Slipstream and discovered where and how to join. After receiving my first Slipstream I saw an announcement for a DE event. I applied. There was a new member welcoming party which I attended. There I was encouraged to attend Autocross events to learn some of the potential of my car. After all, the car has too much speed to test it’s limits among the civilians on urban streets.
We were assigned an instructor for the entire day. This instructor was with us each time we drove the car. What a great method to learn. At each exercise he drove first and explained the good, bad, and ugly of the strategy of that exercise. Then we got to drive and discovered the ugly, bad and sometimes the good of our maneuvers.

When I enrolled in Intro Autocross 101 I thought that this venue might be classroom only. As it turned out a classroom might have been a welcome break from the weather, but that’s another story. The morning was filled with exercises for the car and driver. My group started with braking. Next we went to a counterclockwise skid pad. Then we went on to a clockwise skid pad. Lastly, we had 3 slaloms with different cone placements. These were comprised of a constant distance between cones, an increasing, and decreasing distances between cones.
We had a drivers meeting that outlined the morning activities and previewed the afternoon. My first exercise was the braking one. I launched the car at full throttle. At something past 7,000 RPM in second I hit the brakes. The car stopped short by a couple of feet
Bob Lewis getting the “feel” for his new C4S from the target line. The next times I slowed somewhat, but each time was beyond the target line by a few feet. The car stopped in much less distance and time than I expected.
...At something past 7,000 RPM in second I hit the brakes... Next were the three slaloms. My instruction, Jason, showed how to blip the throttle at strategic places to bring the rear end around the cones. They were telling us that the best line is a straight one with only minor amounts of steering wheel action. I was to feel the handling action thru my seat. I either need more practice or thinner pants. I could conceptualize the throttle steering but didn’t seem to reduce it to practice very well. I need more practice with this skill. It should be pretty easy but would be tailored to your car’s performance.
The weather was cold and very windy this Sunday. The wind chill factor must have been well below freezing. There were twenty or so Maverick Region volunteers out in this miserable weather helping us newbies learn the ropes. These people must be fanatical and dedicated. They seem to be my kind of people. When I commit to something it takes an awful lot of bad things for me not to show up. All of the students owe a debt of gratitude to those organizing this event. My instructor did not drive a sport type of car to the track. I offered to let him drive mine during the fun runs, but he declined. After two days his face was wind burned, he was cold, and only wanted a hot bath at home. I had a great time. Thanks again to those that worked at this event.

It was an awakening to see an automatic heavy Corvette have the fastest times among the students. The he and she drivers of this car were able to accelerate between the sections of the track and brake with their left foot. I did not practice that. He and his wife were experienced autocross participants according to my instructor. The Miatas displayed a great deal of balance and turned in good times also. Horsepower was not a much of a requirement for this track design. You needed great handling, knowledge of your car’s potential, and the skill to unleash it.

We broke for lunch. The event leadership arranged the cones into an autocross track. We had a drivers meeting. They showed us how this track layout was an extension of the very exercises we had practiced in the morning. They added a 360 degree hairpin which I never did do as well as had hoped. My times decreased except for the
last time where I think I reverted to my instincts not the teaching. Knowing our times was great instant gratification.

The next two exercises were on the skid pads. We learned that the car would take a different radius with only a modulation of the throttle. I held the steering wheel in one position and was able to change the line of the car using just the throttle. Later in the day I was a corner worker at a skid pad and was able to see the other cars doing this very thing. Having both experiences was very educational.

Time Trial 104 by James Shoffit
I
t was early on a Saturday morning when we arrived. Wendy and I had spent the night at the new Best Western in Mineral Wells (four thumbs up, by the way!), and quickly noticed the cars were all covered in a thick frost. The drive to the MineralRing saw the temperature dip 30...29...28...27...26... where it stopped and started moving back up. The sun was soon up, and the clear day without wind slowly warmed us as we unloaded the car, set up timing, trailer, and course.

...they both complained about their instructors and having students that just wouldn’t listen...
Chuck & Noby disagreeing about the line Bill Miller learned the most valuable lesson – never bring really old tires to ANY event and try to drive on them. His spins resulted in at least 3 new nicknames : calls of “Spin Miller”, “Thrill Miller”, and “Tractor Bill” followed him around all day.
miles per hour reentering our atmosphere 40 miles up. Then something seemed to fall off. Then another something, and then another. Soon the main streak split into two, and we heard a loud boom. We hoped that this was normal reentry process, but the radio soon confirmed nagging doubts.
(I won’t mention the times that Wendy and I ended up kneedeep in weeds – or John Garcia nearly lost a wheel)
The day started with everyone working on Course 1. Students and instructors were paired up, hopped in a car with the instructor driving, and were treated to 3 slow(er) laps each,

followed by two more sets of 3 hot laps. Then the driver became the passenger in the former passenger’s car and again did a set of 3 slower laps, followed by 2 sets of 3 laps. Then worker changes, rinse, and repeat. Then we set up course 2 and each entrant had 2 sets of 3 hot laps both as a driver and a passenger. Then the same was repeated for course 3. The day was finished off with a shootout for top time of day (which can’t be published since this was a school). The newest people to time trials received instruction from the most experienced drivers, while those closer together in skill were often placed together. Chuck and Noby are still fighting over

Rally School by Russell McLellan We also found out why a Rally master was that diabolical. Besides making the course more challenging for us, they and their team, had invested about 150 hours and driven about 1000 miles to create our 50 plus mile course.

rom the passenger seat, my partner’s eyes darted back and forth between the surrounding landscape and a set of directions that slightly resembled Egyptian Hieroglyphics as he tried to find the next turn. I watched the speedometer for any movement off 25, and tried to estimate how much faster I should go to compensate for the last Stop sign.
We learned that the key to a T-S-D rally was to have the closest
Driving a Porsche at 25 MPH. It Can be Tough... Really! time to the “perfect” time calculated in advance by the Rally master. That time would be measured at a series of checkpoints on course, and we would not know the location of those checkpoints. If we got off course we would not only add time as we found our way back, but we might actually miss a checkpoint. It seems that good Rally Master could, and would, put traps along the course that would allow us to continue on what appeared to be the course, but in fact wasn’t.

Why were two people so concentrated on driving 25 mph which should be so easy for one of the best performance cars in the world? We were competing in our first T-S-D (Time-Speed-Distance) Rally. We, along with about 20 other people, had spent the morning attending Maverick Region’s Rally School. We learned how to read a tulip diagram, understand “all” the rules, e.g. what is a “rally road, and what is not. Most importantly for that day’s competition, what was “protection”. Which turned out to be a concept that would trip up many cars during the afternoon, including ours?
So what was all this about? What’s a rally? Why are they so challenging, and maybe most importantly, why were we all doing this?
A classroom full of enthusiastic students I had heard about road rallies ever since my fascination with sports cars had begun many years ago. I never really understood what was involved, let alone why so many people, both amateurs and professionals, were involved in rallies around the world. Maverick Region gave me the opportunity to get the scoop a few Saturdays ago! Teri Davis from the Maverick Region had assembled a great team of people to take our class through everything we needed know
Then we were on the course. A course that required both of us to totally concentrate on our respective jobs. His as navigator, which I quickly learned I was totally dependent, and mine as driver, on which he was totally dependent. A great part of rallying is that it truly is a partnership and a shared competition. We found out later in the

to compete in a Rally. We learned there are several different types of rallies. Routed rallies like the Time-Speed-Distance type that we’re going to do that afternoon, and Gimmick routed rallies. Gimmick rallies which might be a scavenger hunt, Hare and Hounds where the hare (The leader) leaves markers along the course and the hounds (the competitors) have to follow the route; and Poker Runs where instead of a time slip at each checkpoint you get a “card”. Finally Performance Rallies that include SCCA national ProRallies and divisional ClubRallies. These are done on blocked roads and are run like Routed Rallies.
Apparently Mark & Lisa had enough time to stop for refreshments... day that we managed to finish in the middle of the group, but more importantly had learned a lot and had met, and spent a wonderful day with, a group of terrific people. Would we do it again? Absolutely! In fact a few emails have been exchanged “plotting” our next event, and beginning to develop our strategy. We had a chance to discover a new and curiously very

After a great morning of cramming our heads full of an amazing amount of information we were off to the roads around Texas Motor Speedway for some practice runs before the afternoon’s actual rally. We practiced how we would communicate directions, share decisions, and generally tried to figure out together how we were going to end up finishing with a respectable, and hopefully winning, time.
Clay & Betty Perrine accept their 1st place award challenging way to enjoy our cars, and share that experience with someone, in a very controlled, but also very competitive way. Some people drove the family van, while others were their in their “daily driver”. It’s definitely something that should be added to “must try” list.
