Š2016 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times.
It’s clear at first glance in this car beats the heart of a pure-bred sprinter. Muscular, athletic, powerful and challenging. The Cayenne GTS makes a clear statement. On every straight and in every bend. The car is powered by an all-new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with direct fuel injection (DFI). It produces a 0-62mph time of 5.2 thrilling seconds. An all-rounder that enjoys the short sprint as much as the long distance. For exhilaration and relaxation. And with a range of standard equipment that is far from ordinary.
The new Cayenne GTS.

Shifting Gears:
What do YOU want from Founders’ Day?
By Jim Falgout, Region President
The month of May is one of our most active, with plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy your Porsche and your fellow Porsche enthusiasts. Be sure to participate in at least one if not more events this month! Now I am really going to shift gears on you: I am going to talk about Founders’ Day. Last year I heard some members were asking “What is Founders’ Day?” Basically, it has been several things through the years. Some clubs have monthly membership meetings; the Maverick Region does not. Some clubs have an annual meeting. Founders’ Day is the closest thing we have to an annual meeting. One important function that occurs during Founders’ Day is the election of officers. Our bylaws require it. However, if that was all we did, it would not be much of a meeting. As I said previously, it has been many things. Previously, awards for our Autocross and Time Trial series were given out during Founders’ Day. That activity was changed to a different occasion. One thing that does happen during Founders’ Day is a silent auction to raise funds for our charitable endeavors. We choose this event to support our charity, which has proven to be a fun activity and helps the cause. In the eight years that I have been a member, there have been a variety of speakers and it has been “black tie optional.” While some may not like that criteria, in reality very few exercise that option. The event has been a sit-down dinner with a cash bar, although none of this is set in stone. The reason I am bringing up Founders’ Day is that attendance has been declining over the years. We have begun re-evaluating the event. We want to know what you want the event to be. In what way would you like to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Maverick Region? Please send any suggestions to social@mavpca.org or president@mavpca.org. We certainly want to hear from you. Another thing we want to hear from you about is what activity you would like to help make successful. You didn’t think I would forget to solicit volunteers, did you? Please contact Jim Gallegos at volunteers@ mavpca.org. YOUR CLUB WANTS YOU . . . Volunteer! You will be glad you did.

Gimme a Minute:
April Board Meeting
By Wendy Shoffit, Region Secretary
President Jim Falgout
began promptly at 7:00 pm. Social Co-Chair Phyllis Gallegos mentioned a date for Founders’ Day. Unfortunately, it conflicted with our Club Race in November, so another date will be worked out. May at Mayo’s is all set with Blue Mesa catering. She needs more RSVPs, though. Volunteer Chair Jimmy Gallegos sent out a form for event chairs to complete and return to him. He will pair up job needs with willing volunteers. Editor Jim Hirsch continues to create 40-page issues. Current printing of 1825 covers our needs. In the past five months we have had over 100 new members join the club, so he will continue publishing articles recapping what our events are about. We have 31 advertisers. The Photos of the Month feature is going well and is always looking for pictures for articles and on the cover. He will be gone in May, so Carey Spreen will finish the June issue. Co-Editor Carey Spreen reminded everyone that the Phase II of registration for the Porsche Parade in Jay Peak, Vermont, opened Monday, April 4. Goodie Store Chair Chris Flaugh has had requests for a Maverick window sticker. He found a source for $1.29 each (500 minimum). The board approved a motion to purchase them. He will have them available for sale, but cannot do so on the Goodie Store website directly. He will investigate the best method for selling and report later. He will also purchase several moderately priced items from our Goodie Store to make them available for sale. Safety Chair Joe McGlohen has been training Bob Kramer and Wayne Elliot as assistants. His current focus is on our Drivers’ Education events. He will continue looking for an additional younger candidate. 6 May
Advertising Chair Cindy Bliss is still getting a feel for her new position and will work with Jim Hirsch. Sunday Drive Chair Tom Martin reported his first event of the year was to the Mitas Hill Vineyard, which was attended by 111 cars and 183 people, the largest ever. His new sound system worked perfectly. Because the group was so large, he had six drive leaders to split the group up into manageable chunks. The next drives will be to Ben Wheeler, TX, and the Revolver Brewing in Granbury. Bob Kramer looks forward to getting more involved in the club while not stepping on too many toes. He noticed some issues at the last DE and will help to make improvements. PR Chair Brenda Dranow continues to work on issues to help with Slipstream, despite being away. DE Chair Chris Tabor reported the April 2-3 DE had over 100 attendees. The DEs this year to date have been more successful than last year’s to this point of the year, partly due to better date selections. He will be looking to increase the price of the September event by $25 to adjust for increasing costs. He has been reaching out to new members by sending event discount coupons. Bill Orr is assisting Tom Martin with Sunday Drives. He shared a new phone app called “Porsche GTS Routes” that records routes and makes them available to publish, a possible great tool for the events. Concours Chair Andy Kay is set for May at Mayo’s on April 30. He has his awards and other items prepared, but needs several volunteers to help with parking and vote tallying. He is also working to get volunteer judges for the June 5 Autos in the Park concours. If he cannot get enough judges, it will be a people’s choice event. Calendar Boy Brendan Eagan has the Google calendar up to date and
April 6, 2016 is looking for a replacement helper, as his last one moved away. Rally Chair Don Sebert has his first event on April 16, a Puzzle Rally from Plano to the San Martiño Winery in Rockwall. He is taking RSVPs to rally@mavpca.org. Secretary Wendy Shoffit reported for several absentee chairs. Membership Chair John Hamilton stated we had a net gain of 12 from last month, bringing us to a total of 2529 primary and associate members. Autocross Chair Mark Schnoerr said that, after three events so far, 19 Mavericks have participated in the series, but no one has swept the new classes. The AX school was held March 19 in Mineral Wells, followed the next day by a mirrorcross. The third event was at Lone Star Park where he was course designer and event master – a great event with some close battles in the Porsche classes. The next event is May 29, the day after the first Time Trial this year, both in Mineral Wells. Time Trial Chair Travis Howard is ready for that event and will be running TT Course #1. More information later. Historian Charlie Davis will begin working on dates for the next Photo School and contest. He will report on those later, as details are decided. Lastly, as Club Race registrar, Wendy reported that the COTA event is shaping up. Attendance is currently down from past years, but will work to increase those numbers. Jim Falgout announced that Ash Seidl-Staley is the Maverick of the Month because of his continuing tech article writing for Slipstream, despite a very busy school and life schedule. If you have suggestions on someone you would like to see receive Mav of the Month, contact Jim. Meeting was adjourned at 7:45 pm, as our fearless accountant leader had to return to work because of tax season. Possibly the shortest meeting ever!

Destination Restoration: By Ash Seidl-Staley
One of the most
beautiful aspects of the Porsche, as a car, is its low profile. Whether one drives the classic 911, a nimble 914, a scathingly fast Carrera GT, or one of the various front engine Porsches, the truncated stance screams power and agility. It is undeniably accurate to state that this look is gorgeous and advantageous for high speed cornering, but having the car so close to the ground can often make upkeep of the vehicle difficult. Many maintenance procedures can be accomplished without having to raise the vehicle up into the air, but many more cannot. To avoid unnecessary damage to our precious vehicles, it is important to know where the car’s jack points are and how to properly use them. For the purposes of instruction this article will focus its attention on how to lift both front and rear engine-mounted Porsches, specifically a 911 and a 944—though these procedures and jack points can be carried over to newer models and body shapes. Let’s begin with a nice diagram depicting a 911’s jack points. As you can see, there are six main points underneath the car that should be used to jack up the vehicle. Two of them sit directly behind the front wheels of either side of the vehicle and the four other points lie directly in front of the rear wheel wells. On most vehicles, when rust is not an issue or the structural integrity of the rocker panels isn’t threatened, this section of the floor pan has little nodes that stick out signaling the exact position a jack should be placed. If the front of the vehicle needs to be lifted the best places to lift, include directly in the center of the Crossbeam or at the A-Arm mounting points. Many home mechanics, myself inJack points are cluded, choose to lift the rear of marked with an X the car via the sump plate cover on the bottom of the engine. I have read and seen multiple discussions pertaining to this procedure and have determined that using the engine for a jacking point is really up to each individual owner. As long as care is taken throughout the lifting procedure your car will be free of damage. Remember, patience and common sense are our friends. No matter what position you wish to raise your vehicle by, it is important to always use an item, usually 10 May
Jacking It Up

a small chunk of wood, as a buffer in between the jack plate and the metal of the vehicle. This not only provides an added measure of stability but helps protect your vehicle’s metal if a slide or jack slip were to occur. A procedure that is doubly important is always, and I repeat always, utilize jack stands in conjunction with the floor jack itself. Too much can go wrong when using the floor jack alone; jack stands provide additional support and save lives. Thankfully Porsche has courteously provided many points where jack stands can be inserted. These include: the rear torsion bar covers, the front torsion bar mounting points, the front cross beam connecting the A-arms, and the rear torsion tube itself. Once the car has been lifted up and placed on jack stands, remove Notice that the jack point for a 944 is in the the floor middle. Jack stands can be inserted at the four jack and corners of the floor pan. step away from the vehicle. Allow the weight of the car to settle on the stands for a few minutes. Then administer a test on the vehicle by pushing and shoving the car. There is no need to get angry like the Hulk, but it is important that you do this to make sure that the car will not slip or fall off of the stands while you are under the vehicle. It is better to have the car fall off the stands when you push on it then it would be to have the car shift while torqueing a bolt or breaking free one of those trailing arms. For added security, as my family has experienced the detrimental effects of a jack failure first hand, I always place two extra tires underneath the floor pan. This only eases my mind, as well as my wife’s, but is not strictly necessary. To lower the car after your work is done, replace the floor jack to the point where you chose to lift the car. Lift up, carefully remove jack stands and any other form of safety measure present, then slowly lower the vehicle down to its iconic stance. That’s about it my friends! Remember, the Internet is full of beneficial “how to” videos, discussion boards, and technical articles that adequately describe how to jack up each specific Porsche model. It wouldn’t hurt to invest in a Haynes manual either . . . Wrench on, Mavs!

Mitas Hill Vineyard Sunday Drive Recap ByTom Martin, Sunday Drive Chair
Photos by George Luxbacher
Would you have any Grey Poupon? It was the first
day of Spring, just hours after the vernal equinox. The neo-Druids were spent from their time at Stonehenge, the Australian Grand Prix was already in the books, and somewhere in North Texas, a bevy of the Porsche faithful gathered in a parking lot in Plano. Actually, it was more than a bevy of Porsches. More than a cadre, a covey, a crowd, or a flock, too. In fact, it was more of a horde. Maybe even a legion. It was the biggest dang turnout of Porsches and people that the Club has ever seen for a Maverick Tour.
All told, six drive groups were required to accommodate all of the participants
Maverick fold. And there were a lot of new members present: almost 50% according to a quick show of hands. The first section of the drive led drivers out of the confines of the Metroplex; the second took us through towns like Farmersville where the roads opened up somewhat; and once the drive groups passed through Blue Ridge, the third leg was devoted to doing what Porsches do best . . . killing bugs. Quickly. A record number of Maverick members Because of the participated in the first drive of the year total distance of the drive, and the Yes, 111 Porsches and 183 peorelatively short elapsed time needple turned up for the first Sunday ed, it was decided to forego the Drive of the 2016 season. mid-drive restroom break that most The drive was a relatively short Sunday Drives include.

Plus, the service station in Princeton at the halfway point would not have been able to handle the 100+ Porsche swarm clogging their parking lot and utilizing the sole rest room.

establishment was overwhelmed by the influx of customers, even though it was alerted well in advance. The Porsche Club is welcome back next year; we will be working closely with management to establish a prix fixe, limited menu to alleviate this issue. While the wait time was a little longer than normal, my wife and I enjoyed Our club Porsche cars filled the Mitas lot some great gourmet cuisine. She had a delightful chicken Caesar salad, and I had sea scallops paired with a mozzarella caprese. Not only was the food superbly prepared, the presentation was also excellent. And of course, there was the wine, which was also very good. Many thanks to our Drive Leaders: Voy “Mitch� Mitchell, John Harvey, Jon Glover, Young Slack, and Bill Orr, for helping to make this Drive a resounding success. Also, a big shout-out to my sweep Kevin Creed for doing an excellent job of cat wrangling. Next stop on the tour: Ben Wheeler. Hope to see you at the next Sunday Drive!

Driver Education 2016: By Chris Tabor, DE Chair, and Carey Spreen
April DE at MotorSport Ranch
Photos by Gary Glover*
Maverick Region’s second Driver Education (DE) event of 2016, held at MotorSport Ranch on April 2 and 3, was a very successful one for us. The Green (beginner) and Blue (novice) groups were full, and the Yellow (intermediate/experienced) and White (experienced) groups were mostly full. Several drivers advanced to higher run groups, and two advanced students became new driving coaches – quite a feat! *Photo by Andrew Barber
Classroom instruction helps everyone learn the track
Your Porsche and the track were made for each other
The next DE on the calendar is the Advanced SoloOnly event at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, the weekend of May 6-8, held in conjunction with a PCA Club Race, and put on by Lone Star and Hill Country Regions along with your Maverick Region. After that is our summer hiatus, with the next event coming up on September 24-25. DE-ers are already looking forward to September to kick off the Fall portion of this popular series. Driving your Porsche (or other car) on a real racetrack is educational and exhilarating, and of course just
plain fun. As a beginner, you always have an instructor in the car with you to help you learn about your car, the course, the rules, and racetrack etiquette. Safety is our highest priority, but fun and camaraderie rank right up there too! Your Porsche, right off the showroom floor, is a competent racetrack vehicle – all you need is some track time, along with the basic skills and proper attitude, which is where the instructor comes into play. He or she will help you understand that the correct application of steering and brakes, as well as the throttle, are what make you both fast and safe on a racetrack. If you are worried about wear and tear on your car, tires and brake pads are the typically the only items that wear out more quickly than normal street driving.
Opportunities to learn from many Maverick members
Chris Tabor welcomes the DE participants
Because we feel so strongly about new Porsche owners and drivers understanding the capabilities of their cars, Maverick Region is now mailing invitations to all new members to try it out, including a $50 discount. Additionally, if you refer a friend who has never driven their car (Porsche or not) on a track, you will receive a $50 referral bonus when they register. Come on out to a DE – you’ll be glad you did! 13
Maverick Region AX Series: By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair
With three events into the ten-event season,
we have 19 Maverick PCA members in the series, and no one is sweeping any of the new 2016 PCA classes. Equipe Rapide’s annual Autocross School was held March 19 at Mineral Wells, where entrants were able to work with experienced coaches on a figure-8 skid pad, a low- and high-speed slalom, a fast switchback section, and a full autocross course. Breakthrough car control skills were experienced by all participants and seat time was a priority. The next day followed with the second Autocross series event, a dual course MirrorCross on March 20. In a MirrorCross, a Christmas Tree start light releases two cars for a drag-race type start that turns away to identical left and right side courses. The cars change sides and repeat. The best times on each side are added together to determine overall winners. Ed Mayo ready for the drag race start at Mineral Wells MirrorCross
First quick Porsche was Ed Mayo in his early 911S on both fast and challenging courses. Porsche drivers came home with some trophies and cash at this event.

GT3 versus 650S: You’re the Winner By Bob Kramer
About a year ago, I
received an invite to the McLaren Sports Series Reveal Event, hosted by Park Place McLaren and the McLaren factory. A new car, the 570S, was to debut as the marque’s entry level model. Factory reps were there to present the cars and answer questions along with dealer personnel. The pre-production model on display was stunning, a true beauty, but as it was not a complete car, it could not be fully experienced. Heck, we couldn’t even sit in it. Luckily, they said I was welcome to try out its “big brother,” the 650S, instead. The nicest of individuals, I’ll call him Chris, took me out on a test drive that highlighted some of the car’s more performanceoriented attributes. I think at one point, one of us might have even exceeded the speed limit. To say the least, the car is a hoot on the street.
The McLaren 570S
I happened to mention how I had become a track junkie with my Porsches over the last couple years, and that it sure would be nice to get a ride in one of the McLarens on the track. As luck would have it, he said the dealership was hosting a private customer track day at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson the following week. Further, he might be able to get me a drive in one then . . . and would I be available on Wednesday? Hmmmm . . . OK! 16 May

The following Wednesday turned out to be one of those bluebird days you dream about, especially while living in Texas. The sun was out, and yet the temperature and humidity were both pleasant. What a perfect day to test the merits of the 650S, and see how it would stack up against my current track car, a 2015 Porsche 991 GT3. Admittedly, this would be a tall order for the McLaren as I happen to love the way my “3” works on the track.
The author’s Porsche GT3
I got two sessions driving the 650S that day. As it turned out, that was just enough to plant the seed. I bought one six months later. So, which one do I like better -- GT3 or 650S? I love them both. How are they different? My observations of the differences include the following: Power: 80% of the 650S’s rather substantial torque is available at 2800rpm. Four hundred lb-ft at 2800 rpm pulling to 500, vs the GT3’s maximum of 324 lb-ft developed at around 6200rpm. The only thing I’ve experienced that’s similar was my CBR900RR race bike. You definitely feel the difference. Sound: The way the GT3 bangs and howls downshifting through the gears coming hard into a corner (like Rattlesnake at MSR), screaming through the GMG, is intoxicating. The 650S sounds best under acceleration with the back window down. And it’s good, but
never quite gets to the GT3’s 9000 rpm note. Ride: I’m sure a good chunk of the extra $$$ charged for a 650S is because of the suspension. As far as I’m concerned, it’s worth it. The ride is unbelievable. It’s better on the road than my ‘16 Macan T with AS, to say nothing of the GT3. Even in track mode, on the track, the ride is surprisingly smooth and flat, even under braking and cornering. That’s some kinda technology. Handling: I’m a bit more comfortable near my limits in the GT3. Some of that may be due to the fact I’ve tracked it a lot more. Some of it is likely due to the difference in tires (Pirelli P Zero Corsa A vs Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2). Some of it is because the GT3 is more adjustable. Expendables cost: The McLaren goes through tires at least twice as fast as the GT3 does. It also appears to have a serious appetite for rear brake rotors because of its brake steer / open diff technology. By the way, a set is about $8000. Don’t ask me how I know. Driver data: The GT3 displays readable numeric data (oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, tire pressure). The 650S displays tire pressures and tire temperatures, but there’s no way I can read them while the car is moving. Further, engine data is shown in the form of four-stage bar graphs. While they’ve never moved off “normal” when in use, I wonder what the actual range has been . . . and just how bad abnormal would be . . . and how close I’ve been to it. View: Visibility out of the 650S is excellent. While the GT3 rear view mirror shows me a great view of the wing, I can actually see other cars out the back of the McLaren. The view out the front is much better also. The lower deck height along
with the raised fenders makes it much easier to place the 650S exactly where you want it. That’s quite handy on the track. Braking: Both have exceptional brakes. I can, however, brake slightly later, even though I’m going slightly faster, in the Mclaren. Did I happen to mention the cost of the McLaren’s rotors? Fun factor: I can’t imagine two better cars to have at the same time, given their price points. One could argue an RS and a 675LT would be a better pair but others might argue the $$$ difference would be better spent on a Billet Silver Metallic Viper ACR. Just thinking out loud . . .

Member Travel Notes: By Melissa Nichols
Finding a Road Less Traveled
My husband has been an avid motorcyclist for 20+ years and his primary requirement in trying to find the perfect ride was to figure out the most crooked path to the destination. Since we purchased “Greta,” our 2008 Boxster, a little over two years ago, the same rule has applied. Because we live east of the Dallas Metroplex, most of our travels have been north of Hwy 380 and east of I-35. One of our rides had the target of destination of Bug Tussle, Texas. We’d read that it was quite the photo stop, so we decided to see for ourselves. Google Maps is our friend when finding locations. I simply type in the location, avoiding highways, toll roads, etc., to keep us away from the traffic, and then I alter the course and move the lines around until the route is as curvy as possible. These maps are before and after playing with the route to Bug Tussle. Bug Tussle original route Along the way we stop in quaint little downtown eateries, always in search of the perfect piece of pie. One such café that deserves a recommendation is Sabine’s on the Square in Trenton. The owner is a liveBug Tussle altered route ly rock-n-roll chick who serves large helpings of pretty decent food. Don’t forget to try her pecan pie if you stop in. As for Bug Tussle, well, it is certainly worth the trip for the photo op, but don’t blink or you will miss the one and only dilapidated building at the intersection of A Bug Tussle photo op two cotton fields. On our most recent excursion, we drove to Durant, Oklahoma for a concert and a little bit of gaming action. We decided on a straight shot to get to the desti18 May

nation but took the leisurely route home. In doing so, we found a beautiful bridge that spans the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas, and the countryside is gorgeous with endless rolling hills. We stopped for a few pictures and then drove through Bonham State park as well. Our advice is to always make the detour for state parks. The usual entry fee is $4.00 per person but in this case, they will let you drive the scenic loop for 15 minutes as a courtesy. It’s a quaint little park that we will consider going back to for a picnic lunch. Here are the before and after maps of the Durant trip as well as pictures of the bridge and Bonham State Park: As a general rule of thumb, our day trips are usually 3-5 hours in length which includes a stop for lunch. We usually have a target destination in mind and work around how to get to and from that point. Bridge at the Oklahoma-Texas border We’ve found that the people in local eateries often have good advice on other things to see in the area, and they’re usually friendly. Most of all though, our goal is just to enjoy the experience of the drive. Melissa and her husband, Craig, live near Royse City, Texas and have been Maverick PCA Members since November 2014.

Revolver Brewing: By Tom Martin, Sunday Drive Chair
May Saturday Drive Preview
B - DOUBLE-E - DOUBLE-R - UN –
Beer Run ! Do you remember the malt shops of your youth? Yeah…… neither do I. Well, our May Saturday Drive leads us Mavericks to a malt and hop shop, courtesy of Revolver Brewing in Granbury. Come escape the confines of the urban sprawl and explore with us some of the less traveled backroads of the western sector of the Metroplex. The route is 101 miles in length, so we should arrive at our destination just in time for a refreshing afternoon libation. Every Saturday, Revolver Brewing opens its property to the general public to partake of their most excellent wares, and also those of a food truck or two. Admission is $10.00, and includes a logo pint glass, beer tasting, live music, and a tour given by one of their genius brewers.
Some picnic tables and chairs are available, but it is recommended that Mavericks bring their own lawn chairs. The Drive will be held on Saturday, May 14th. Starting point is the parking lot of WalMart Supercenter, located at 6360 Lake Worth Boulevard in Lake Worth. Starting time is 10:00 am, so plan to get there a little early to sign up and attend the Drivers’ Briefing. Of course, attendees are not required to participate in any of the destination’s offerings, so if one desires, one may head straight home after the Drive on their own route. If you plan on attending the Drive, it is imperative that you RSVP before the Drive. Just shoot an e-mail to tours@mavpca.org with a simple “I will be attending (by myself, with my wife, with a friend, etc.)” and you’re in. When you RSVP, it gives us an accurate count to supply to the proprietor of the destination, plus three days before the Drive, you will receive an e-mail with the following attachments: a Garmin .gdb file of the route, a route overview, and turn-by-turn instructions. Hope to see you (and your Porsche of course) at the Beer Run!

Around the Bend... By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
The Joy of Porsche. I have not been able to
find a tome with that title, although there is a legion of books under the heading of “The Joy of ...”. No, I’m not about to begin writing the Porschespecific entry into that genre. Instead, I’m going to encourage our Maverick Region members to write your personal chapter of The Joy of Porsche and be willing to share your experiences with our readers. For example, I happened to be out at the April 12 Track Night in America and had a chance to see firsthand how one of our members experienced The Joy of Porsche. Mike had not been out to the track with his Mike Barnett and his 2007 Porsche Carrera at MSR Porsche 911 for almost three years. After four sessions that evening, the Joy for Mike in getting back on the track was readily apparent. And, as many of you know, your Porsche also experiences its own version of Joy after a bit of vigorous exercise. All of its many computer-adaptive systems come to full attention when you ask your Porsche to stretch its legs as it was originally engineered to do. Its Joy is that all systems stay at close to full attention for some time after you complete your track time. The response as you drive it on the street for the next few days brings an even greater amount of Joy to you! This issue is filled with many other examples of The Joy of Porsche. For example, Melissa Nichols shares her family’s driving strategies when looking for some Joyful time on the road.

Bob Kramer shares the Joy of comparing the driving experience of wonderful cars that many of us only get to dream of driving. Ongoing contributor Ash SeidlStaley provides Joyful strategies for suspending your Porsche in the air safely. And, new for this issue, member David Cavazos shares his Joy of sketching Porsche-based cartoons. David is titling his series as “Pcar -Tunes”. I hope this becomes a regular feature of Slipstream.
Whatever your Joy of Porsche includes, please share those experiences with our readers by sending your stories to me at editor@mavpca.org. Finally, in our continuing Slipstream initiative - Mav Photos of the Month - the focus for this month was engines. Thanks to our members for submitting these great photos shown on page 31. For the June issue, our focus is interesting backgrounds with your Porsche in the foreground, so send your photo submissions to editor@mavpca.org or post them on our Maverick Region Porsche Club of America Facebook group page by May 10.
