The Inside Track by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President
N
ow it's really driving season! I understand that “officially” the Maverick driving season kicked off in February with our driving schools and first DE. I don't know about you, but for me wind chill factors in the single digits, cold rain, and snow just don't say, “Let's buckle up and drive.” Now it's springtime in Texas and the driving is great. Our first autocross at Texas Motor Speedway was super, a little windy, but otherwise the weather was fine. The DE on April 8-9 was excellent. Again, a bit windy at times, but hey, this is Texas. The track conditions were superb and everyone was eager to learn more about the new section. The event was well attended, but not too crowded, so everyone got lots of seat time. Some of the instructors teamed up during the red sessions to help analyze different approaches. I was able to receive some helpful pointers from a couple of the real masters, Jim Buckley and Steve Kent. Those of you that were watching people drive in circles, or more correctly, ovals missed an outstanding weekend. Now that things are in full gear, we've got lots of opportunities for folks to sharpen their driving skills; autocross, rallies, time trials, tours, and of course our big three day Club Race and Solo-only DE on May 27, 28, and 29th. By the way, if you're not going to be racing or driving in the DE, please consider volunteering to help out during the weekend. The folks that run this event make it look easy, but that's only because of all the planning and hard work they put into it. They really can use your help. I'll see you there!

Maverick Minutes by Jan Mayo
T
he April 4 Board meeting started 5 minutes early and we went Clockwise around the table in honor of Daylight Savings Time.
Rocky started us off with an apology to the Autocross Committee for calling their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Count only the first four runsâ&#x20AC;? rule a stupid idea. He still thinks it's a bad idea but feels bad at saying it was a stupid idea. Charlie said to take the issue up with James and James took the opportunity of everyone looking at him to talk about needing a new laptop. He said the whole package would be ~$1,000. Rocky said to put it in the AX budget and to give Jeff an amended budget. A motion was issued anyway with a second and it was passed with a unanimous board vote and one dissenting guest vote. On to Ed Gross reporting that Steve Boyd has made good progress on getting the Goodie Store up on the Maverick website. Ed is getting more requests for this Goodie Store option. Tracey Gross brought a couple chocolate Porsches samples with the Maverick logo on the hood. Not having seen them before she was quite enthralled and wanted to make them available in the Goodie Store even though us old-timers have seen them around for many years. She also has been working hard on the summer schedule and has a bunch of stuff packed in there. May at Mayo's is on Sat. May 20; June 18 Father's Day picnic will be at the wonderful home of Dan and Linda Ruehs (since Casey's are having yard work done this spring, Dave feels his Irish Luck will keep the project going well into the summer); Mid-July will have a Murder Mystery at the SaltGrass in Grand Prairie (min. 30 people so will have a PayPal pre-pay); and July 26 will be a Yankees/Ranger baseball game with bulk tickets at half price (no, these won't be the bleacher seats in the far reaches of the outfield, but she couldn't remember if they were off 1st or 3rd base, is there a difference?); AND she is working with Teri Davis for an ending site of the August Hare & Hound Rally Post Parade Party. <whew> By this time we had but a big dent on the chocolate P-cars and it was Wendy's turn to talk. The TMS autocross had 90 entrants and she turned the proceeds over to Treasurer Jeff. She reported that after expenses she showed a $1,700 profit for the day and thought that fit nicely with James' request for a new laptop (hmmm family coercion here??). She explained that when the laptop problems encountered at TMS stumped herself, James AND Darron it was something huge and it needed to be addressed. The April time trial will be sponsored by Park Place so she suggested we all wear our PP shirts that were so nicely provided by Andrew and Randall at TMS. Wendy continued that she's working on the bugs encountered with the PayPal system and should have them worked out by the next event. Wendy and the Slipstream crew have continued to work on the distribution delays and have heard from the Dallas PO that they think their problems have been worked out. We'll continue to use the Dallas distribution for a couple more months to see. This month will be a color cover on both the issue and the membership directory. (If you didn't already notice, take a look. It's spectacular.) Joel Nannis is still not able to access the National Membership Directory but hears they are working on it. His records reflect 1905 members, including family and affiliates. Bryan Bell is working on the April 22 Time Trial and is planning on online results posting. He's in Good Shape. He's questioning why we have so many non-Porsche entrants compared to the Porsche entrants and is considering lowering the Porsche driver's entry 8
and raising the non-P entry fees. Treasurer Jeff submitted a 2006 to date financial statement for April Slipstream and will submit quarterly. Mike Brodigan has nearly completed the 2006 advertiser job and is looking for a successor. I believe Lisa Steele has volunteered. Safety man Joe McGlohen says we have safe events however with the extended track at MSR we will require significantly more corner workers. He asks that existing workers bring their wives and friends to fill in. Tracey asked if he would purchase the beer for the May at Mayo's event and he will oblige. Teri Davis' rally had 11 cars which included 2 Mini's. This one was a little more challenging than the previous two. Her next rally will be a Tulip Rally and the final one a Hare & Hound. Charlie Davis says the Truckster still runs and he has all the fire extinguishers. This wasn't meant as a reflection of the shape of the Truckster, just that it is where the fire extinguishers are stored for the Time Trials and Autocrosses. Brian Petri was happy with the "Blazing Success" of the first Autocross at TMS. He has had a few complaints on the new rules and the main issue is being fixed. He's ready for the Mineral Wells Autocross #2 on April 23 with preregistration and pay online. Lanean Hughes has a Thank You letter from Lisa Huffaker from the Hope Shelter thanking the volunteers that helped put up the insulation on the new home. Sheet rock will be going up and Lanean will be putting out another plea for painters. She also needs a long bed pickup truck to transport kitchen countertops from North Dallas to the Shelter. She is also looking for volunteers to work at the Houston Grand Prix, Thurs.-Sun. on Mother's Day weekend. Closer to home, she is needing volunteers for the Club Race at MSR. Michael Wingfield said the April DE has not sold out but they have made their budget numbers. The May Club Race DE registration is open. Marie Wingfield has been thinking about the National Awards mentioned last month and suggests we nominate Kevin Hardison for Enthusiast of the Year. She will work on the write up with anyone who would care to help. She also asked why we don't hear anything about working at TMS for the NASCAR races any more. Lanean responded that TMS has been using schools and scout volunteers. We're back around the clock to Rocky. He's been talking with Clint Blackman about the Sunday afternoon leisure lunch drives and Andy Miller is ready to turn over the tour chair job to someone new. Old Mavericks Don and Taxi Breithaupt have asked the region to help financially support the fall Boxtoberfest. VP Mark Gluck's dad is in the final stages of cancer. Please send some supportive thoughts Mark's way. The vote on the Bylaws changes will take place at the April DE since enough Mavericks will be there to make a quorum. Secretary Jan will have ballots available and will tally after the event reporting the results to Rocky. It was brought up that the scheduled Autocross in August will be HOT... (duh) and conflicts with Parade. So the calendar was brought out and it was moved a couple weeks earlier into July. Brian Petri will check with Bob Manskey to make sure the track is available. Everybody was through talking so the mini-grouplets broke apart for more talking. <go figure>

From The Driver’s Seat by Wendy Shoffit, Slipstream Managing Editor
S
hort and sweet. That’s what this month’s article is all about. It’s jam packed with so many other things that I doubt you’ll want to read what I have to say. *grin* After reading the articles about the Photo Rally in Salina and about the Hill Country Tour, I am really sad I missed them. There are many times when I wish I had a time machine or a cloning device where I could do it all. But, as we all know, life is all about choices. We are fortunate in this region to have so many wonderful choices, too. What about this month? Will we go to the May at Mayo’s dinner social and enjoy Babe’s amazing fried chicken? (Wouldn’t miss it!) Will we drive in the double time trial weekend in Mineral Wells (sponsored by Park Place Porsche!)? (Absolutely!) Will we finally go on a tour to Palo Pinto? (Mark it down!) What about the Lunches and the Happy Hour? (Whenever possible!) Lastly, what about the Club Race on Memorial Day Weekend (sponsored by Boardwalk Porsche)? (We’ll for sure be there!) I can see my calendar filling up already. Ahhh, but it’s a good thing...great friends, good food, and a fantastic time to be had by all. What’s going to be on your calendar? Are you listening to what I’ve been saying about being in the driver’s seat? How’s the view from yours? Satisfying? If not, you know where I’ll be! Join me!

Photo Rally by Dave Frick
I
t appears that one of the best kept secrets in the Maverick club are the rallies that Teri and Charlie run. These are designed as fun days in the car. What can be compared to driving around aimlessly looking for obscure items Charlie has photographed?
Photo by Charlie Davis
Jean and I have participated in a few of these rallies and usually do pretty well. This past event Jean had a conflict and I recruited my Grandson to be my navigator. Considering the result, I guess it is pretty clear where the strength of our “team” is, certainly not with the driver. This latest rally was one of the most organized and well planned events I have been to. Called a Photo Rally, the object was to find the items pictured and answer a question to verify that you actually found it. We were provided with a nice map of the area, about 10 square miles in the Trophy Club Werner and Jackie Foltz reading a area, with roads that historical marker in the cemetary might contain the selected items highlighted. This avoided the problem of deciding where to go. Of course all of the roads marked did not have an item, but all of the items were on marked roads.
Cops event. Nine of the teams were PCA members, and two were from the Mini Club. A two-hour time limit was set, otherwise some of us would still be looking for the elusive white buffalo. The top score was 29 points and all tie breakers correct. A great job by the Foltz team. Close behind, with 27 points, were Ed and Tracy Gross. Third place was captured by one of the Mini Club entrants. Here is the complete score listing: Driver & Navigator Werner and Jackie Foltz Ed and Tracy Gross Aaron Granger and Colleen McGushin Betty and Clay Perrine Robert and Debbie Thompson Jason Quillin and Lynn Wilson Sharon and Ed Fickes Joe and Peggy Lawrence Dave Frick and Owen Smith Dean and Melanie Harden Kevin Fortier and Hollye Knox

The next rally is scheduled for Sunday, July 9. It will be a ‘tulip’ gimmick rally. The route will be in Parker County, and any of you who worked or ran the Parade rally know how much fun those roads are. If you have any questions about the rally (hint: we will not be looking for flowers), give Teri a call.

A total of 23 photos of landmarks were provided, with a max score of 33 possible. Some of the more obscure items had bonus points available. Three tie-breaker questions were also included.

lyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker and the rest of their gang paid a visit to Hillsboro, TX on April 30, 1932. They robbed a gas station and, in the process, “accidentally” shot and killed the owner. Some 74 years later, the Maverick Region Porsche Club descended upon that same town as the muster point for the 3-day Hill Country tour. Our cars were better and our intentions peaceful, but some felt it was we who were being robbed by the gas station.
Cooper’s BBQ in Llano was recently named by Texas Monthly as one of the top three BBQ restaurants in the state. The drill here is that you line up by the pit, point out what you want and they sell it to you by the pound. Unusual for this type of operation is that they actually manage to bar code everything you buy and scan it at the checkout. That surely speeds things up, but it’s just a little unexpected at a place where they cook your food in a steel pit sunken in the dirt.

13 cars and nearly twice that many people headed out under glorious weather. Farm-to-market and ranch roads constitute the majority of paved thoroughfares linking the lightly populated towns throughout the Hill Country. Due to limited local traffic, the roads are in great shape and are very popular with leisure drivers. Of particular note for our driving pleasure on this first morning were FM 580 (S) and 581 (W). We came across more than one group of misguided souls driving Z-3’s, and of course motorcycles were everywhere, but they all seemed to be going in the opposite direction of us so it was cool. After 3-1/2 hours of driving we were ready for lunch.
Saturday morning came quickly and we lit out with the expectation of more great driving. Notable on the first leg of the trip was a rapid and dramatic transformation from nearly barren scrub land to lush green foliage. It doesn’t take much water to get native Texas plants to green up and this area seemed to define who got rain and who didn’t. First stop of the day: the Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop in Leakey. It is located at the intersection of FM 337 and Hwy 83 which forms the locus of any Hill Country drive.
Fredericksburg was the next significant town on our agenda. With its numerous galleries, wineries and shops full of stuff you
Knot in the Loop Saloon (Flora Lin, Carol Rybarski, Renee Wainwright, & Judith Moore in background) As you first enter the Motorcycle Stop you can’t help but conclude that Houston is not the only city in Texas without zoning laws. However, the place didn’t collapse while we were there, and the hundred or so motorcyclists who were also in attendance seemed to enjoy our vehicles as much as we did theirs. With restroom and T-shirt needs addressed we were on our way. The rest of the morning’s tour took us past Stonehenge II and a replica of Easter Island. These recreations, located near Hunt, were built in 1990 and are roughly 2/3 size of the originals. Because they sort of appear to you after rounding a curve, there is a certain surprise element to this art which adds to its entertainment value. An additional surprise element came shortly thereafter when a small boulder jumped out in front of one our vehicles in an apparent suicide attempt. We are happy to report that both rock and vehicle are fine. The pilot of said vehicle is still recuperating.
Relaxing before dinner at Haven River Inn
We concluded the morning drive back in Leaky, this time stopping at Vinny’s Italian Restaurant for lunch. The food was very good and the atmosphere cordial. The 78-year old proprietor looks to be about 20 years younger, and he mentioned to us that his mother is 108. This propensity for long lives is probably due to good genes, but knocking back some of their lasagna might be a good alternative to that “apple a day” thing. Our afternoon agenda took us on some notably curvy roads and required a good bit of attention paying. It is in areas like this that the Porsche really shines and drivers get to forget about the payments and think about the pedals. Smiles abounding, we made our way to the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum near Vanderpool. The real gear heads among us enjoyed checking out the rare examples of bikes from around the world and through the century.

After lunch we tackled the Willow City Loop (WCL). This area is known for an uncommon density and variety of wildflowers and attracts tourists from all over. However, due to the lack of rainfall recently, there was a dearth of wildflowers, so we basically just drove the loop and enjoyed the roads. At the end of the loop, or at the beginning depending on how you look at it, is an establishment called the Knot in the Loop Saloon. This place had been a barn up until three years ago, and you can figure that out rather quickly upon entering. However, the proprietors are friendly, they have restrooms, and the locals stare at you with the look that says “you ain’t from around these parts, are ya?” A round of soft drinks for all and we were on our way.

forget you’re supposed to be looking at the road. Soon thereafter we attacked a portion of State Road 4 which is uncommonly beautiful, but also contains several roller coaster-like sections that are quite exhilarating when driven properly. At the conclusion of SR 4 we settled down and took lunch at Napoli’s in Lampasas. Photo by Andy Miller
This lunch was more leisurely than usual and we had a chance to make inquires of the lady on our tour who had apparently managed to discreetly change her clothing several times while riding in an open top convertible. Of course, this writer pledged to guard her identity with the zeal of a White House reporter. So Cathy, you can rest easy knowing your secret is safe with me. The day concluded with a final stop in Gatesville where we refueled, said our goodbyes and the headed home to scrape about 9 pounds of bugs off the car and anticipate the next tour!
Spectacular Hill Country Road
Sunday morning’s drive started to angle us back to the DFW area on roads that continued to amaze. We drove past the Falkenstein Castle which is near Burnet. It has been filmed as part of the “Bridezilla” series on the We network, and the plans for it were actually taken from those drawn for a castle designed but not built for King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Not unlike the experience of seeing Stonehenge II coming around the curve, this castle can cause you to

Non gear heads sought satisfaction from pecan pie at the Ace café located within the museum. From there we headed back to the Haven River Inn where dinner was also served as a special concession to the group. The entrée was a honey pecan chicken. Upon requesting the recipe, we found the sauce was essentially half butter and half honey. You could probably put that on a shingle and have people asking for seconds, but this chicken dish was exceptional and a real treat.

Back to the Future IV by Marty (not McFly) car number 944 Mayo caught me looking at her "S" (this is an inside joke please feel free to ask Jan about her "S" at anytime - it's white by the way) Boxster S that is. Wendy and James doing great, daughter getting older, but if I did not know better I would think all of you had time machines as well. Maybe we all have fuel issues. The nameless Mr. Lockas has made my time travel worth while and to all the new and old members I look forward to the TIME we will be sharing in 2006.
W
hen we last left this story just before the turn of the century (1999) I was in a first place tie with the other 944 driver who will remain nameless but for the sake of the tale we will call him “Mike Lockas.” After the nail biting finish to the season I broke the timing belt on my 944S bending 14 of the 16 valves and 2 weeks after I completed that repair the clutch felt it was it's turn to be replaced. I sold the car, packed my stuff, and moved to Las Vegas.
Autocross Chair Brian Petri prepares the large crowd for their busy day. Autocross # 1 is in the past now. It was great. I should have brought a kite it was so windy. I worried the Mini's were going to blow away. I learned a very valuable lesson during the event I feel I should share. It seems a cornerworker with a full bladder will cause numerous red flags, pylons to be killed (and drug all the way to the finish line), the timing computer system to fail, and last (but not least) the timing lights to blow over. Sorry for all the delays. I promise to stop at the restroom first next time, my bad! Now you know why all these things happened at one time. Moving right along... If you have been keeping track of this tale I have an answer to a question I bet you did not ask (How much does a DE and autocross school help your driving?) Last October I was 10 seconds behind Nameless and am now down to less than 4 seconds behind, a 6.5 second improvement. Don't make me bring out the time machine for the other few seconds!!

As the smoke settles I look at my watch. The year is 2005, the location, Dallas, Texas. It seems a worm hole in the space-time continuum has brought me to the future out of fuel. As with all time travelers it is customary to check on your friends. Not wanting to affect the time line I found another 944S and returned to the Maverick Club just in time for the last Autocross of 2005. While it has only been a few days for me, my friends have been driving for 5 years and have improved to the point that some are instructors. The winter closed in and I found the time machine still out of fuel. Due to security problems it seems getting plutonium is even harder than it was in 1999. So it looks like I'll be staying for a while.

One afternoon I was driving down the road and went to pass a truck, as I pulled around I noticed an oncoming car, already committed I stepped on the gas. The speedo was just about to 90MPH and BLAM!!!! Two flamed lines behind the car.
Marty Lumpkin finds the course and his way back to autocrossing after a “break” of several years. Welcome back Marty!
Next up the Maverick autocross school. Two more days of fun! My instructor, who will also remain nameless (Mark Steele) was great, as the shirt said, “It's not how fast you go, it's how you go fast.” If you are new to the sport or been at it a while this is a must do! In my case the extra time in the seat helps the mind speed up, keeps you looking to the next corner you may find yourself applying that to more than autocrossing. As I stated earlier I was checking on old friends. Jan 16
A last thought...If you used to do this, you don't have to travel though time to come back, I bet you miss the TIME we share as much as I did.

With more time on my hands I felt it was time to improve my driving skills. I signed up for my first DE at MotorSport Ranch. The first day was very wet and rained most of the day. The track was so slick I spun the car twice going so slow I almost got out of the car and stopped the spin by hand. My instructor was very happy to see me, though, as my car has heat (seems most race cars delete this option go figure). Sunday was nice and sunny they opened the new section of track. WOW! Great day! Overall I had put 84 miles of track time on the car in just two days!! If you have a chance to attend, I highly recommend it. I would also like to note I changed the timing belt before the season, lesson learned, sorry back to the story.

Insulating the Future by Bill Middleton
O
Once some basic “division of labor” was accomplished, the work began in earnest and staple guns began going off all through the place. Thanks to Lisa’s previous experience with this task, the wall insulation had been bought pre-cut into proper lengths to fit the wall spaces, so very little time was lost trimming and fitting to height at each stud bay. With work literally proceeding from all corners of the building, in no time the exterior walls were completed and installing of sound insulation of the interior walls took place.

n Saturday, March 27th a band of intrepid insulators met at the Hope Shelter to put in some good ole sweat and elbow grease into completing the basic shell of the new shelter – namely installing the exterior wall insulation prior to drywall going up Porschephiles present included Mark Gluck and his son Erich, “Mr. Membership” Joel Nannis, Bob & Clara Lewis, Bill Middleton, and Lisa Huffaker.
Clara Lewis “supervising” husband, Bob. cabinetry, closet, and interior doors; floor, wall, and ceiling finishes; trimming out the electrical, plumbing, and air conditioning, appliance installations, and other trims and finishes.
During the process, a quick inspection of systems already in place was done. Electrical roughs are 100% complete, plumbing roughs are similarly 100% complete, and heating/air conditioning roughs are nearing completion. All exterior finishes and trims are in, and the property is 100% weathertight and lockable.
There will be more to do – and more help needed for the push to the finish line! We will need people with interior decoration experience – painting, hanging blinds & drapes, floor finishes, installing light fixtures, hanging ceiling fans, putting on light switch covers, wall plates, trims, etc. – stay tuned for more details!
With a lunch break provided by Lisa (many thanks for the Braum’s burgers and treats!) on site, the entire process took from about 9:30 AM until just after 2 PM.

April Maverick DE Report By Ed Hughes
Photo by Hart Photogrphy
W
ith great anticipation, the long-awaited (for me) chance to dust the cobwebs off of my stale track driving skills arrived April 8th and 9th at Motorsports Ranch. I’d signed up for the Feb DE, but was only able to attend the wet Saturday session, due to a mechanical issue. As a result, I had not run on the new track. So, the fact that the weather forecast was a good one, and the car was 100%, things were looking up. The weather actually started out a little cool and certainly windy, but by Saturday afternoon, it was pretty nice. Sunday’s weather was flat out spectacular. Why can’t all weekends in North Texas be so nice?
I was Blue solo the last DE I’d attended on Memorial Day weekend of ’05 @ MSR, but all Blue group drivers needed to re-qualify for solo on the new track layout. This was a good thing. The new track with it’s variety of elevations, apexes and blind spots comes at you fast the first session! I think the general consensus from drivers of all skill levels, is that the new addition is a little tricky.
Registrar Michael Wingfield putting his car through the paces. immediately after. It felt really good, so I went for my yellow checkout, and made it. Two back-back sessions was really awesome. I had to be grinning from ear-ear after the yellow run. The rest of Sunday was spent working on improvement of my skills. I was also able to participate in the yellow classroom session, where we all discussed the new sections we were learning. I find this dialog to be extremely helpful and insightful.
My instructor turned out to be Rick Randall, which I was happy about, as we both have the same year 911s, and he has a very good understanding of how these cars behave. So off we went, and I must commend Rick, as I do all of my past instructors, on his patience with me!
The hardest turn for me is the triple apex. It just never felt like I hit it right. I had some runs better than others, but I know I’m leaving a lot of time on the table through there. This will give me plenty to work on in May when we head back out there. Change that; this will give me one more thing to work on in May!

MSR in its 3.1 mile layout is a fun and challenging track. I’d be really interested to see how the 1.3 mile course runs by itself. I think you’d be a little spent after running a session on that one, as you’d be constantly braking, turning and shifting. I also wonder how the old 1.7 mile version would feel now? It’s neat how a great weekend such as this will get you off to a good start for your work week. With such great sponsors, corner workers, instructors, event organizers, people and facilities, we are indeed blessed here in the Maverick region. As they said on a beer commercial once, “it doesn’t get any better than this”!
The first session was spent just trying to remember the layout of the new section. Thank goodness that on each lap I had 1.7 miles of the old track, which I was familiar with, to catch my breath and prepare to go through the new terrain. As it turns out, this reprieve each lap served me pretty well throughout the weekend as I learned the new portion of track. I started to get a feel for it all, and while running the old portion, I could think over my many mistakes, and how I could improve the next lap. I ran the first session that afternoon solo, and Rick joined me again for the last one to see how I was doing, and keep me going in the right direction. By the end of Saturday, it was starting to come together for me and I slept well that night. On Sunday morning, Rick turned me loose by myself for the first blue session to see how I felt. If I felt up to it, I had the opportunity for a yellow group check ride the session 22

Happy Hour at Mondo’s
I
t was back to Mondo’s for our March 16 happy hour. We had thirty-two in attendance for the happy hour, and a few of us decided that, after making a meal of the free hors d’oeuvres, there was no real need to stay for dinner! Loren Rappoport and Lori Mauthe were attending their first happy hours, and Lori told us a great story about how she decided on her new 2005 Boxster S, and why she went all the way to Florida to get it. Alex Tayem brought two visitors – his son Joe and friend Sam Shanks.
