The Inside Track

by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President

“M

uch Ado About Nothing” is a play written by William Shakespeare.

The title would seem to have some applicability to the Mavericks of late. You remember Willy, he was an early (very early) Maverick member and drove a 1580, one-horse cabriolet. Unfortunately, it was a British model, not one of the more highly regarded German marques, but I digress. Those of you who have been paying attention no doubt recall that last year it was reported, both here and in the minutes of the board meeting, that the Executive Committee planned to review the current bylaws and offer some minor revisions for consideration. The target was to vote on the suggested revisions at Founders Day. A small, but vocal, contingent felt proper parliamentary protocol had not been followed, so the election was postponed. This same small group also offered up some proposed revisions of their own. At this point, another attempt was made to schedule an election. Shortly thereafter, events evolved into yet another of Shakespeare’s plays, “The Comedy Of Errors.”

It is probably appropriate to say that I take this lighthearted note only because I feel the vast majority of the members are not overly concerned with dotting the I's and crossing the T's in the bylaws. Especially if their favorite events or events continue to run in a timely and smooth fashion, which is most certainly the case. Additionally, I don't believe that any of the proposed amendments will have any earthshaking impact on the day-to-day workings of the organization.

This doesn't mean I don't believe the amendments are important, I do! I also don't mean to imply that people shouldn't voice their opinions, they most certainly should. This article is just a way to let folks know that the original intent to offer some proposed revisions isn't dead, it has just become more complicated.

In fact, every time one issue appears solved, another springs up.

On line voting comes to mind. At the moment, we are planning to hold the vote at the April DE on Saturday, the 8th. Obviously, based on prior results, this is subject to revision. Who knows, it may be next Founders Day before we actually get to vote! At rate, I'm confident that in the end, results will call to mind yet another of Willy's plays, “All Well That Ends Well.”

Maverick Minutes

by Jan Mayo VicePres, Mark Gluck, opened the meeting a bit before 7-ish for Pres Rocky Johnson. Rocky had told us that he would be absent for the February Board Meeting but he failed to explain that it would be because he was skiing in Colorado for an entire month. Since nearly everyone else on the board was present I wasn't alone in missing the invitation to join Rocky.

Going around the room Tom Snodgrass reported on the schools. The Ladies/Teen autocross school has at this point 14 ladies and 1 teen signed up. AX 101 has 32, AX102 has 36 and TT103 has 17 (numbers provided by Wendy). 40% are Porsches and 60% are non-Mavericks or Maverick members driving another car. He has enough volunteers for instructors and workers so is feeling well prepared. Attendees will be informed of their acceptance during the following week. For the Club Race, they are working on the flyer for advertisement and Tom reports that John Sandusky is working on the application. Tom has a Club Race Committee meeting scheduled for March. Bob Benson says they need more workers.

Lanean Hughes said there would be a Hope Shelter Board meeting the following evening. She attended the PCA National Board meeting last weekend and said the 2008 Parade would be in Charlotte, NC. The Membership website is being worked on and she says Maverick Region needs to get back in the habit of submitting nominations for the National awards. There will be a PCA tent at the IMSA race that will be covered by Maverick and Lone Star members. Information concerning this will come from Bryan Henderson our 2006 Zone Rep. Lanean is also working on getting Dunlop Tires to sponsor something for Zone 5.

Teri Davis said the Rally School had a fantastic turn out of 40 people. She has trophies for the remainder of the Rally Program, the next being March 25. Teri reported that the Portland Parade is planning a Porsche Driving Experience. It will be in half day increments over 3 days.

Charlie Davis has been working on the Truxter carburetors and is putting off working on the new box for holding, charging and transporting the radios till the carbs are done. The fire extinguishers are at Mayo Performance being inspected by William Fletcher.

William will do the recharging and repairing of ten extinguishers for $180 - $200. There are two Halons that he can recharge for $394 each. We're going to hold off on these. The rules committee is prepared to help people with understanding the new classifications and will be present at the Autocross School Pre-Tech events which will be held at Autoscope and Mayo Performance.

Bryan Bell participated in Park Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cayman experience and reported that it was a grand event. Bob Benson interjected that the second weekend was equally as good other than the rain made the tire usage a little less dramatic.

Ed Gross is still working on getting the Goodie Store up on the Maverick Website. He and Tracey were pleased with the turnout at the New Member Party in January with nearly 100 guests but were concerned that only 8 were actually New Members. As this is not really the results this party is supposed to generate, the topic will be 8

re-addressed before next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party. There was some discussion about contacting new members and email addresses and what information is currently available to Joel (membership chair) vs what he has actually been able to access.

As this discussion died down Tracey picked up reporting that the Wine Tasting evening was a great success and everyone had a fabulous time. She utilized the PayPal system created by Chris Alvarado of Hill Country (THANK YOU, CHRIS!) as the wine tasting was a pay in advance evening. Tracey is looking down the road for future events such as possible a Cowboy and/or Ranger game. She's full of great ideas, so stay tuned.

Michael Wingfield has 207 drivers registered for the Feb 25/26 long track DE at MotorSport Ranch with a waiting list for Green.

The April DE registration opens the day before, Feb 24.

Maverick membership is at 1168 per Joel Nannis. He has a 100 page membership list and has updated his records. He gets a hard copy every 6 months.

Bob Benson has been participating in an on-line discussion on setting up an on-line voting system. There are a variety of systems available and the committee is making progress.

Bill Dawson thanks Michael for his work on the on-line registration. The February long track event looks like it will be successful even with the added expenses for additional equipment.

Jack Farr is continuing to promise the track will be ready for our use. Bill along with a team of 5 or 6 others worked with Jack on the placement of the new corner stations and everyone feels the locations will be good for both directions around the track. Two existing corner stations will be moved for better driver sight and worker safety.

Dennis Chamberlain is working on the Club Race 2006 flyer. The January Happy Hour at Salt Grass had 38 people present. February will be at Uncle Julios and he's working on some ideas for March.

Joe McGlohen says "We're Safe."

Treasure Jeff Atkins says the checkbook is in good shape. The PayPal system is going well but he has some questions concerning it's usage by various different events.

Secretary Jan continues to work with Bobby Archer for the Truxter loaner helmets but has been given a 6 month reprieve from Safetyman Joe as the 2005's are still not available.

Wendy is concerned on the delivery time of Slipstream. The delays are within the Dallas Post Office and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about that. The board will discuss some other options even to going back to doing the labels and delivering the sorted/documented bags to the delivery center ourselves again.

Back to the beginning with Mark Gluck reporting that all of the February events are insured and he has submitted the paperwork for March. Discussion on the Bylaws came up again along with the definition of Quorum and the continuing debate on how we are to get together enough members to satisfy the rules of a quorum.

The meeting was adjourned and everyone split into little mini-subgrouplets for continued chatter.

From The Driver’s Seat

by Wendy Shoffit, Slipstream Managing Editor

T

his past weekend was a very interesting one.

While you won’t see full coverage of the autocross schools until next month, I have to take a little time and space to mention them. We held the Ladies & Teen and the Autocross 101 school on the coldest, iciest, nastiest weekend I can remember.

Do you recall the weekend not so long ago (by the time you read this) where the weather guys and gals told you to stay home unless you had to get out? Well, I guess we felt like we had to get out because we did. We were joined by the majority of the students who signed up, as well. I can’t tell you how weird it felt standing on an autocross course during a snowfall. Everyone had a great time, though, which made it all worthwhile. Thanks go to all the instructors, workers, and students who braved the weather to make this event happen!

To follow up last month’s topic of Slipstream’s mailing delays, we’re still looking into all of our options. We have discovered, though, that the primary delay has been because of the Dallas Post Office. We’re seriously considering switching back to Fort Worth. Of course, I don’t want this starting up the old fight about which city is better... everyone knows that Irving is best! *wink* Anyway, there are so many events coming up in the next few months I’m sure there’s going to be something that interests you. I hope to see you at an event soon! Enjoy the view... you know!

Mavericks Become Winos

By Tinker Edwards

T

he social team of Tracey and Ed Gross took us to Tony’s Wine Warehouse for a Wine Tasting and Gourmet dinner February 2nd. It was a sold out event with a wait list….way to go guys!

I’ve been to several wine tasting over the years – some too technical to enjoy the class, some were a joke – this one was fun, learned a few good tips about sparkling wine storage and wine glasses. The Wine Master kept it light, humorous and a quick pace introducing us to approximately 20 wines…hey, after 10 tiny tastings I lost count…starting with a sparkling Spanish wine, then to the whites, ending with the reds. While sampling

tasty. The bestest part is yet to come …Wendy, get ready…the Former White House Executive Pastry Chef (Roland Mesnier) joined us – not planned - for stories of his time at the White House, chefs he has trained in Dallas and elsewhere, his travels AND……Wendy and I are both lovers of chocolate… drumroll…two of his creations (several plates) are placed on the table for us to eat….bread pudding drizzled with chocolate…to die for…and a chocolate mousse creation that was awesome. Side note: The day after the tasting I received my copy of Sur La Table Spring Culinary Class Preview and guess who is featured as a Celebrity Touring Chef for one of their classes….Roland Mesnier.

Our Wine Master for the evening. the wines, we had trays with ample amounts of paté, several cheeses, fruit and bread.You would think that would be enough but ooooh no….wine is poured, salad is served, wine is poured, slice of quiche is served, wine is poured, pasta with chicken is served, at this writing several days later I’m thinking we had a wine with a sampling of dessert but who’s keeping track at this point…..and 30 out of 45 of us indicated we would stay for the gourmet dinner when RSVPing..…

Most ended the evening after the tasting, some bought wines to stock their wine cellars – ask Claire Lewis how she got home since Bob bought a case of wine and they drove the P-car. The rest of us stayed for dinner including the Lewises. The group dwindled down to about 15 who stayed to enjoy the restaurant menu. Even though I wasn’t in need of more food my curiosity was peaked… Tony’s set up a table for us among the boxes of wine…cozy. Orders taken, food served, I didn’t hear any negative comments, I can tell you my crab cake appetizer was very

The wine flowed like water and the food was amazing!

Thanks again Tracey and Ed for a very fun evening…and did I hear y’all say there would be a fall tasting?

New Member Party

By Christy Dominick Thank you, BankSource Mortgage, for your sponsorship of the New Member Party!!!

Being a relatively new member myself, the New Member Party was a great opportunity to see some familiar, and some new faces, as well as actually converse!

I have only attended the Time Trials and Autocrosses at the end of the 2005 season, so far. There is a lot of activity at these events and everyone is pretty busy. The only people I got to talk with at any length were my fellow corner workers for the day.

I met several new members, including Grant and Betsy Imsande, Randy Csanadi, and Lee Bussard who each received a Maverick Region PCA logoed racing shirt as a gift from our Goodie Store folks, Ed and Tracey Gross.

Meanwhile, Jasmine Shoffit exhibited her advancing marketing skills by creating and distributing fliers directing everyone to her Girl Scout Cookie sale out of the “closet”. (Gee, I wonder where she gets it?)

Later, Jasmine made rounds, taking drink orders from anyone who was not sufficiently hydrated.

Lanean Hughes, Ben Witry, and Tracey and Ed Gross lending their experience and smiles to the new members.

It was a wonderful meeting and I personally am grateful for all those who turned out. The Maverick Region has a tremendously friendly membership! I’m certainly looking forward to other events!

Photo by Dave Frick

The hot topic of the meeting was the introduction of the new Autocross classifications and rules. There was a bit of excitement in the air! Looks like we will have a little more competition this season.

Discussions and contemplations abounded throughout the club house.

erhaps washing the car brought the rain or maybe a gathering of rally cars did it, but wasn't it nice to see the roads washed clean? Still, we had 12 no-shows so the rain must have scared a few away. Oh, well, we still had 38 enthusiastic souls come to learn about the sport of road rally. Most of those people were able to stay all day and participate in the afternoon rally, which

featured my favorite roller-coaster road and some spectacular skyline views. Three additional teams came just for the rally.

We were pleased to have several members of the Metroplex Mini Club join us for the day. They did well and one pair from the Mini Club carried home a trophy. We presented trophies to the top three finishing teams.

Removing Ugly Sunvisor Stickers

By Mark Gluck This was heavily researched on the Boxster Board a number of years ago and this is what worked well for me: First - cover all dash and seat areas “in range” with thick drop cloths, to prevent staining from any chemicals you use (and spill/drip).

Use denatured alcohol - RUBBING alcohol is not the same thing - go buy denatured alcohol. For the vanity mirror stickers first put the top down! Then cut a 3-4 layer thick 'pad' of paper towel to the exact shape of the sticker. Soak the pad in denatured alcohol, let excess drip out and place over the label - you don't want excess alcohol running into the mirror.

For the underside stickers do the same thing, but you'll need something to hold the pad against the sticker, without squeezing all the alcohol out! Try cutting out a plastic food container lid to the right shape and use that as backing for the paper towel, and hold gently with elastic bands. It will help if you flip the visor against the windscreen so gravity works for you rather than against.

Wait the 30 minutes, same deal. For some reason on this side it usually leaves a very light 'ghost' image that I have not found a way to remove. I think the original glue actually changes the texture of the vinyl slightly.

Go away for 30 minutes. Don't peek, GO AWAY! The more you lift and “test” the longer it will take for the alcohol to do its work which is soaking through the sticker and dissolving the glue underneath. At 30 minutes lift off the pad and peel off the sticker (no scrubbing).

Use the pad or a fresh wad of paper towel with more alcohol to clean up any remaining glue. If there is a lot of glue you may need to soak it some more, and/or use a piece of soft plastic, like a credit card, to scrape some of the thicker glue. Clean off the alcohol with any good vinyl cleaner.

Inside the 2006 AX/TT Rules

By Charlie Davis

W

hen James Shoffit and I approached Rocky last fall and suggested forming an Autocross Rules Committee, it had been 5 years since anybody had looked at the Rules. Well, there was a copy on the web site, but nobody seemed to read them or pay much attention to them anymore.

Rocky approved our idea of a Rules Committee consisting of the AX Chair, the TT Chair, the Timing guy, the Truxster Driver, and Lisa Steele.

Our initial reason for forming this committee was to devise a different way to select the Top Drivers. The old process had a problem: Many classes only had one driver and without competition, it was impossible to be selected as one of the Top Drivers!

At our first meeting, we quickly found consensus that part of the problem was too many classes. We additionally decided to “invent” a new algorithm that indexed drivers within class boundaries. Indexing is controversial, because it’s difficult to do well. There are two primary ways: 1) Collect historical event results and compile this into figures-ofmerit for car models, and 2) Analyze each car technically and compute a figure-of-merit for each model. The first approach is common (the SCCA uses it, for example to generate their PAX index), but it is plagued with sensitivities to both venue and driver. If you can collect lots of data across many venues and drivers, this is acceptable. Unfortunately, with only three venues and a total of about 100 AX drivers, we could do neither. So we pursued the second option. We called the index the “Predicted Performance Factor” or PPF for shorthand.

Bumping is an old, some say discredited technique where, as a car collects modification points and passes a threshold value, it “bumps” up a class. An advantage of the PPF approach is that it somewhat validates bumping by solving one problem that discredited it: Classes organized in historical order rather than ascending performance. The other objection to bumping is that it requires dissimilar models to compete. We wondered, for example, is it fair for a Cayenne to compete with a 356? In fact, we virtually never see either one at an AX or TT, but if we did, they might have to compete.

Our goal being good competition, we decided to have only 10 classes. We realized that with only 10 classes we would have to mix models more than in the past. As we delved further, it became obvious that most of the reasonably stock cars should fall into the bottom 7 classes; the upper 3 should be reserved for highly modified cars. Then we realized that a modified 356 would probably not get beyond class 3 or 4!

Would a stock class 4 entrant (say a 2.7L 944) be upset if a race prepped 356 joined the class? The simple answer was,“Not if he beats the 356 race car!” We asked several drivers. They all agreed with the unanimous opinion of the Rules Committee; that competition was an important part of their AX and TT enjoyment.

One of the big issues with the PPF approach is that it requires lots of data. Some of the data we needed was in the Owners Manuals, Parade Competition Regulations, Club Race Rules, Tech Spec Books and Shop Manuals. What we didn’t find was often on a web site (some of that data is questionable). We sent letters to the PCA Technical Committee for a few gems. After about 3 months of work, we still have a few “holes” in the data. Today, there are 102 different models in the list. We continue to gather data and correct typos.

22

As we started piecing the PPF algorithm together, we created an Excel spreadsheet. It’s quite complex, but only the Rules Committee needs to delve into the “guts”. We did this work to make it easy to classify a car. All an owner has to do is to answer a few car questions and the classification is automatic. For a stock car you need to describe the model and year (and for some cars, select which engine you have). If your car is modified you must provide data about some of the modifications.

For example, if your car is lower than stock, you must supply the height of the car at the top of the roof. If you can’t figure out how to measure it, we’ll help (it’s actually quite simple). If you still can’t (or won’t) make the measurement, we’ll do it for you. Our PPF scheme requires the actual condition of the car to be known. Note that I didn’t say “if you modified it” or “if you lowered your car”! If you bought it in a modified condition, you have to figure out what the previous owner(s) did. Sorry…

We think most owners will have to use at least part of the “modified” section, as most people have tires that aren’t stock.

James is converting the Excel spreadsheet to a web-based application. It’s actually fun.You can play “what if”and see the effects…it shows the Mod Points, the PPF, the Class, and where the car sits within the class. The AX/TT Class Calculator will be used in conjunction with on-line AX/TT Registration. In order to compete, you must be classified.

James will keep a class database for all competitors. You must classify your car before your first AX/TT and if you change anything that would affect your class, you must reclassify your car. It’s an honor system…

We are making some other changes. We will call the 10 classes “open” classes. By this, we mean that they are open to anyone; lady drivers can choose to compete with the men in these open classes. Some ladies have been quite vocal about being forced to compete only with other ladies! There is nothing to make ladies inferior to men at an AX. So, in 2006, any lady can choose to compete with the guys. Those that don’t like this option, can compete in a single, indexed Ladies Class. That’s a change from the past, where we had 17 un-indexed Ladies Classes.

Usually only a few ladies showed up and populated a couple of these classes. We will use the PPF to normalize the results within the new Ladies Class. We’ll also index the Developing Driver Class the same way.

Drivers of either sex can chose to enter the Developing Driver Class.

Over the past several years, we have changed our timing and process of running cars. A goal was to decrease the interval between cars. We now routinely start a car every 25 seconds. We can do it faster but it’s pretty hectic. This improvement was to enable us to give more runs. We normally give 8-10 runs. The downside of our success is that the first runs are essentially practice runs. This is counter to accepted AX norms, where 2-3 runs are considered “right”; it’s OK to practice at a Time Trial, but not at an Autocross.

The 2006 Rules say that our AXes (not TTs) will offer between 3 and 5 runs. At first, many think it’s silly or even evil to stop at 5, when we have time for 10. Consider this an opportunity! We might have 2 events on one day. In the AM, run AX#1. During lunch, change the course and in the PM, run AX #2. We still get 8-10 runs and don’t bastardize the event by allowing practice. Plus, it’s more flexible. Drivers will be able to choose AX #1, AX #2, or both. For events where we don’t double up, we’ll still have lots of extra runs (“fun runs”) for everyone after the 5 official runs. The only difference will be that there will be pressure to peak early, not late.

We are still improving the spreadsheet, collecting missing data, testing strange combinations of modifications, etc. We will have “tech sessions” prior to the AX schools. Sessions are scheduled at 6-7:30pm on February 15th and March 1st at Autoscope in Plano and Mayo Performance in Euless. In addition to checking the students cars for safety issues, we will also have people there that can help owners classify cars. Please attend one of these sessions.

Hopefully, by the time this article is published, James will have a well debugged classification application on our web site and we will have many, if not most, of the cars classified. We plan to advertise these “tech sessions” on the web site, hoping to get a big turnout. If you have trouble using the on-line classification application and we don’t get you classified prior to the first AX on March 26th at TMS, we will have workers there to do it. But, please…try to complete the new classification process before that event. If everyone procrastinates, we won’t do anything other than classify cars!

We know there are a few cars that don’t easily fit into our scheme. For example, how to measure the height when the car doesn’t have a roof? Or how to estimate the spring rate with both coil and torsion springs? For the moment, we will handle these case-by-case, after careful measurements (where possible) and analysis.

We realize the 2006 AX/TT Rules make major changes. If there are errors we will fix them; missing data, we will add it. If we find inequalities, we will remedy them via administrative changes. The Rules Committee hopes these new Rules permit better competition and cultivate more fun.

he Happy Hour of January 19 at Saltgrass Steakhouse in Irving had some stiff competition due to a scheduling conflict with an introduction party for the new Cayman, so Mike Lockas and I were surprised to have about 40 attendees. Saltgrass has always been a big hit due to its menu and location, and that proved to be the case on the 19th.
