Prez Says by James Shoffit, Maverick Region President
T
he most important event of the year is coming up very quickly. Hopefully you are reading this BEFORE it has happened! Founders’ Day is happening at the Southfork Ranch about 20 miles north of downtown Dallas, on November 9th. If you get there before 6pm, there will be a tour of the ranch! RSVP as quickly as you can! But first, the morning of Founders’ Day there will be a Charity Autocross at Pennington Field (Central Exit, just south of 183 in Bedford). All the profits from this event go directly to the Hope Shelter in Mineral Wells, the home for victims of domestic violence. Parade plans for 2004 are going well. We have met with the City of Fort Worth regarding Concours locations. The city officials all liked our presentation and thought it sounded like it would work. There are still thousands of plans to be made, but progress is going quite well. I am writing this just after the final Autocross of the season. As Timing and Scoring chair, I am compiling and verifying all the driving event trophies that will be awarded at Founders’ Day. But this last Autocross was something special – with only
13 participants, everyone was a crucial worker! We got all our runs done by 10:40 in the morning, and had a wonderful lunch at the Farm House in Cool. The board meeting will be on November 6th, and the Lunches in November are on the 19th and 26th. Our driving season is over, so it is strictly socials for the rest of the year. The November Happy Hour will be at TBC Indoor Racing on I35 in Dallas, just South of Regal Row. Those are the types of events that I really enjoy – the combination of social, driving, and competition!
. . . combination of social, driving, and competition. . . The annual Holiday Party will be hosted by Alan and Kay Leibel this year, who have graciously offered their home for the club! This will be on December 7th; see page 13 for all the details. We have something for everyone, so come on out, and join the fun!

Because I Said So by Wendy Shoffit, Editor
I
’m just going to come out and say it... I have a gripe this month. Yes, I know it’s totally out of character for me, but I’m going to go out on a limb and take a chance that you might not like what I have to say. I apologize in advance if I offend you in any way. I’ve been frustrated lately with comments I’ve received from several members about their not knowing about some event or another. It’s seemingly been a shock that an event is “this weekend” and that if they had known, they would have planned to be there. Frankly, I don’t know how much more I can do to give advance warning. The next 3 months’ worth of events are listed on the calendar page (page 1), it is also on the website, and I try extremely hard to get event ads in Slipstream in a timely manner. Yes, I know... the last couple of issues have been later than usual. Believe it or not, things come up in life that, unfortunately, mean Slipstream takes a back seat. Most people understand that when I tell them. I hope you all do. I realize that for all of you life happens as well. Most of you don’t plan life events around the Maverick Region schedule. Here’s what I ask, though. If there is a certain type of event you want to participate in (Happy Hours, Autocrosses, DE’s, social events, etc.), please please please look ahead in the calendar and mark the date on your calendar. Put it in your Palm Pilot if you have to. I hate always saying, “Mark Your Calendars” on an event ad. It seems redundant. I would think if you want to attend a function, you’ll do it on your own. You
are all big boys and girls who manage your schedules every single day. Now, I’m not going to stop putting the reminders out there, but I hope that you will all plan a little further ahead so that when something you’ve been wanting to do comes up, it won’t catch you off guard. Enough of all that. Onward and upward! As James mentioned, coming up very quickly is Founders’ Day. That’s an event I look forward to every year. I really like having a reason to dress up at least once a year! Seeing James in a tux reminds me of our wedding day. It gives me warm fuzzies all over. I also really enjoy giving and receiving awards! The smiles are always amazing. I’ve never been to Southfork Ranch, so I hope I have time to take the tour. I grew up watching Dallas, Falcon Crest, Matlock, and Hawaii Five-O with my grandmother. Ahhhh, more warm fuzzies! I hope to see many of you there. Oh, before I forget, the Addison Lunch location has changed. Since the Good Eats on Midway closed down, we have temporarily decided to meet at the TGI Friday’s at the N. Dallas Tollway and Belt Line in Addison. A new restaurant, the Texana Grill, is taking over the Good Eats spot soon. We’ve been told that they have great food. If it’s good enough, we might change the lunch location again. Watch for future notices (and mark your calendar). Lastly, we are looking at options to reduce our Slipstream printing costs. Since it is published online now, if you are interested in receiving only an electronic version and stop your printed copy, email me editor@mavpca.org and we’ll get you set up. Thanks!
Maverick Minutes by Andy Mears, Secretary
T
he October Board Meeting was held at the home of James and Wendy Shoffit and got started on time at 7:00 PM. There was a good turnout for both the pre-meeting dinner and the regular meeting. Dennis Chamberlain reported on the latest happy hours and wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming events. A motion was made to provide financial assistance to The Hope Shelter in Mineral Wells, being that they are in dire financial need. The Maverick Region has elected to advance expected proceeds from the scheduled November Charity Autocross. As a reminder to everyone, this year’s Charity AX will be on November 9 and in town at Pennington Field. Look for the ad on page 2. Cody Sears reported on the good time had by everyone that participated in the final Time Trial events for the year, #5 and #6. Both events were held on the same weekend in Mineral Wells with a good turnout for both. Bill Dugan wanted to let everyone know that there would be a Driving Event Rules Committee meeting December 7th. Everyone is welcome to participate and give comment. Submit all questions or comments to Bill. 8
As the membership of Maverick Region has grown so has the circulation of Slipstream, in turn, the associated amount of effort and cost. It was proposed to the board that the sorting, mailing and postage management of Slipstream could be outsourced. At this time we are considering a variety of options, if anyone can recommend a postal fulfillment organization please contact Andy Mears. The meeting ended at 8:11 PM. Next month’s board meeting will be on November 6.
“Moonlight at the Oasis” Happy Hour by Dennis Chamberlain

he weather forecast was ominous for our “Moonlight at the Oasis” happy hour. Despite that, a smattering of adventuresome Mavericks ventured south to Joe Pool Lake, and they were rewarded with a clearing of the clouds and a calming of the winds. Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain, Dee Lersch, and Mark Gluck We were also rewarded with the company of none other than the Hill Country region’s registrar and D.E. instructor Kerry Watson, who had driven all the way

from Austin – her well-known red 944 in tow -- for the happy hour. (OK, well, she was actually on her way to the Maverick Region’s MSR D.E., and Joe Pool Lake happened to be in her path). Kerry apparently arrived early because, by the time I arrived she was already in a position to recommend their signature drink, the name of which cannot be repeated in this family publication. Nonetheless, it was most impressive.

Another unexpected treat was the casual mentioning by Mark Williams’ that, parked outside, was his new 2003 Boxster S. Mark Gluck and I practically ripped off the Oasis’ front door in our haste for our first close-up inspection opportunity. Also,
Mark Williams during dinner, Kerry was kind enough to modestly answer some D.E. questions -- including a couple of heel-and-toe pointers. Be sure to take notice that our November 21st happy hour will be at TBC, the indoor racing facility on Stemmons, just south of Regal Row. The vehicles are electric, and the food is provided by Sonny Bryan’s. 9

A Seat in Time By Lanean Hughes
. . .I know I have lots yet to learn . . . My first real driving experience in the new car was the September DE at Motorsport Ranch (MSR). I had a great support group of “YaYa Sisters” who were also part of this great

The question people asked me most was, “Lanean, when are you getting a Porsche???” I would respond with, “When the time is right.” It finally happened in September 2002. Thanks to the Meredith family, my dream came true. I have a beautiful 1987 Guards Red 944 Turbo with just the right amount of “KiKK!!”
Tricia Henderson, Laura Sumner, Lanean Hughes, and Sandi Lapp. to be sure there are no leaks. That’s the best news you can haveno leaks!! The car that is 15 years old with 100K+ miles on it still purrs like a kitten!

The next event I participated in was even more exciting as it brought back so many wonderful memories of calling my favorite hotel with a “lake view,” visiting with the owner, getting the latest update on the family and then seeing if there is a room for me (of course there is)! Getting up very early, loading the car, taking an extra tire (if you have one), the cooler, the lawn chair, and clothes for various weather conditions, the BYOB for the Saturday night gathering, leaving Dallas and, yes, you guessed it…heading to the “MineralRing.”
event cheering me on. With the great instruction of Michael Wingfield on the first day and Caren Cooper on the second day, I am totally in love with this car. Their expertise and encouragement gave me the confidence I needed to make this car do what it was intended for - driving at controlled speeds (and then some) and finding the limits of the car. Heel/Toe, trail braking, apex… yikes, trying to remember. I was so caught up in knowing that this was “My Car” that a lot of the driving “buzz words” just kept spinning in my mind. Many thanks to those who have helped me fix a few of the mechanical problems. I know I have lots yet to learn. I can check the oil, transmission fluid, tire pressure, and every night check

The instructors’ clinic was a success, as always.
The 917 replica drew quite a crowd, despite having no engine or transmission!
Thank You to Boardwalk Porsche Sponsor of the Drivers’ Education 14
Yes, it’s been a long time, but I’m so glad the “Seat in Time” finally happened. I can now experience all the thrills again and wave to all those “P-Cars” in Texas!!

For many years, trips to Mineral Wells (MW) were all we had. Autocross (AX) and Time Trials (TT) were the only games. I found the TT Reunion Weekend to be the best! I soon realized that you don’t really forget the track. It’s like riding a bike again and you realize how much fun it all was. To my delight Richard Diller, was there, who many years ago was my instructor at a driving school in MW. We chatted awhile and then it was my pleasure to see that great 911 #550 speed around the MW course.

Porsche 911 Twin Turbo Carrera Raffle By Dan Germain, Hill Country Region President [ed. The following was excerpted from an email from Dan Germain dated August 28, 2002. The email involved a new member event they held recently, but I clipped out non-essential information.] Local TV stations were in attendance to report on the launch of Art Center Stage's lottery for the 2002 996 Turbo, and what a fully loaded dream car it is. You can see it in the photos at http://www.hcrpca.org/photos/200208-Beasley/index.html. If you missed it, you can buy your tickets on line at http://www.porscheaustin.com/longcenterporsche/ or by contacting Michelle Wallace, Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Arts
Center Stage 1301 West 25th Street, Suite 404, Austin, TX 78705, or by phone at (512) 482-0800, ext. 101, Fax at (512) 482-0700, or contact Michele at michellewallace@artscenterstage.org. Tickets went on sale for the first time last Thursday evening at our reception, and the drawing will take place on December 18.

ALMS at Laguna Seca, September 20-22, 2002 by Bill Stafford
A
as ex Formula 1 drivers JJ Lehto and Max Angelelli brought the Cadillac Northstar LMP home third. This was their second consecutive podium finish; unfortunately the timing was just a bit off as the funding for the LMP program has been terminated which might not be a bad thing.
The race this year was a month earlier than usual and thus escaped the higher potential of fall rain. There were several highlight events at the track. Dr. Don Panoz debuted the New Star Mazda Racecar (see later in this article) and a Class 8 Super Truck (8000 pound Semi, 1260 horsepower, twin turbo diesel on BIG race tires) made an appearance and took a lap at speed to delight the crowd and try to drum up fans for the Super Truck Racing Association of North America (STRANA). They plan to start the series next year. Watch for the STRANA special on ESPN2 in November. Improvements to the track are still underway.
In the LMP-675 (low power LMP) Class, all top three finishers were in Lola EX257/AER MGs. The top finisher was the Chad

s usual, this years’ American LeMans Series Race at Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca was filled with elation, sorrow, suspense, good food and wonderful weather. Fog, now labeled “marine layer”, was prevalent as always but didn’t slow anything but practice and qualifying.
The track is changing – new stands along pit road and bigger gravel pits and tire barricades for safety. Additional changes in the upcoming years include new permanent garages with Pit Row suites above; hillside terraced seating, and a new StartFinish bridge. Overall $11 million of improvements are planned.

The best race of the afternoon took place in the GTS category as the Ferrari team had some unfinished business to care take care of from Le Mans. Now that the Ferrari is able to last the entire race without a mechanical, they’re proving to be the cars to beat in GTS. Tomas Enge #33-GTS Ferrari 550 Maranello had the pole in GTS and this was his first time at the track and hadn’t taken a lap before the first scheduled practice. The Saleen S7R of Franz Konrad and Terry Borcheller qualified second. The Corvette Team wasn’t happy to see either the Ferrari or the Saleen in front of them, but as Andy Pilgrim expressed “it’s good for the series”. Team Corvette - #3, Ron Fellows and Johnny O’Connell were knocked into the Turn Four gravel trap by the Cadillac (déjà vu – same place they put Boris Said last year) which led to a broken exhaust which led to a fire. In the fire vs.
Justin Jackson #79 LMP 675
In the LeMans Prototype class (LMP-900) the #1 Audi driven by Emanuele Pirro and Frank Biela scored their second ALMS win of the year despite the whining and fretting of Emanuel Pirro. In his defense, Pirro was fighting the flu and the crew did have to replace the tub due to the crash at the previous race at Mosport. The “new” chassis was the same one that won at Le Mans wrenched by Reinhold Joest. Overall they had a good weekend as they qualified on the pole and enjoyed an essentially trouble-free race to win by nearly 26 seconds over the Privateer Champion Audi of Johnny Herbert and Stefan Johansson. Team Cadillac finally proved that they are not just another pretty face 18

took first in a Porsche Cup 911. Peter Cunningham was second in his Acura NSX and Justin Marks was third in another 911 Cup car. A local firm (AER) rented Boris Said who managed to motor a Roush Mustang into 14th place. Something was said about slippery track. How’s that for bad R.O.I?

There was also a Shifter Cart race. The carting guys are a fun bunch. They are eager to help each other and completely open about their gear. Refreshing! There were also lapping the circuit in about the same lap times as the GTS Corvettes but just 1 inch off of the ground. WOW! You also get the long vanished odor of burning Castrol from these horizontal motorcycles. Dr. Don Panoz unveiled the new Mazda Star series racer. This basic “affordable” open wheel racecar is being sold for $66.5k (accessory list still to come). Will this series prove as popular as the Toyota series? Will it be the platform for young drivers? For his backing/funding/promotion of the new series Dr. Panoz was present a very kitschy Mazda R8 Rotor with a clock in the middle for his, uh, desk… The Star Mazda racecar, features the same next-generation Mazda rotary engine as the forthcoming Mazda RX-8, is scheduled for testing in 2003 and will run in the Star Mazda Series North American Championship, a support series to the American Le Mans Series, in 2004. The Star Mazda Series develops racecar driving careers
A pair of Panoz. Not as strong as they once were.
In GT (until recently, the Porsche class), Lucas Luhrs' #23GT Porsche 911 GT3 RS captured his third pole of 2002 and the seventh of this career. Luhr and Sascha Maasen enjoyed their fifth win of the year in the GT class with a one-lap victory over the Anthony Lazzaro/Ralf Kelleners Ferrari 360 Modena. Alex Job Racing teammates Timo Bernhad and Jorg Bergmeister lost a sure second place when the Porsches’ gear lever came off in Berhands hand five laps from the end. Kevin Buckler and Brian Cunningham survived a horrendous weekend of mechanical trouble to claim third. Kevin Buckler, Racer’s Group, #66-GT Porsche 911 GT3 RS, is one of a very few teams that are trying to complete in both the ALMS and Grand-Am series. Master of the understatement, Buckler stated “Going from Grand-AM one weekend to ALMS the next and setting up the car differently for each series is proving to be tough. It seems like the first two days of each race weekend we’re going through major setup changes.” Hmmmm…… In the SPEED World Challenge Touring Race, Randy Pobst

composite materials, fire always wins. The corner workers at the corkscrew were apparently not fully trained on the fire equipment as they tried to put the fire out from 15 feet away on the side away from the fire. They did manage to blast the driver in the face with the powder though. But no one was hurt and the crowd always loves a good barbeque. Desperate to get a high podium finish, the other Corvette of Andy Pilgrim and Kelly Collins, gambled on fuel to outlast the Ferrari, but apparently ran out 2 laps from the finish leaving them 3rd in class and 16th overall.
THE TRUCK...8,000 lbs of thundering diesel racer! by providing an opportunity for drivers to complete on the same racetracks used for professional events and is one of the most successful racing series in the U.S. Many well-respected drivers have risen through the ranks from Star Mazda including Le Mans 24-hour GT class winner Bruno Lambert. Last year, average of more than 40 racecars started each Star Mazda series event. Hey, you want a new RX-8? Win the series and get one for free in 2003.

Rat Notes:
Buckler’s #66 911GT3 RS at the corkscrew.
After practice or qualifying most drivers’ comments are very positive for example: It was nearly perfect, I made a small mistake, the car is the best it has been this weekend, I had a little bit of over steer, etc. Then there were comments from Jon Field #37P675 MG Lola EX257 on Saturday after the practice session. “Terrible! The car was a pig. We missed sessions because of the engine and the clutch. We haven’t moved forward all weekend.” Whoa, Jon, it’s part MG! - Take a nerve pill and call me in the morning.

Of Timing Tents and Brain Cells Bent by Michele deJong
I
do believe a good time was had by all at autocross #5 held at Pennington field. The kids got lucky and watched movies in the A/C provided by the Shoffit’s large American (is that in the OA class?) vehicle. The rest of us adult types gleefully contributed to the already smoggy air with fast times through a truly LOOPY course by Cody Sears. More than a few folks had at least one DNF run as the pivot cone was negotiated and the curls continued. (Who says you have to be blonde to be dizzy?!)
feat of mental gymnastics. And there’s generally a second or two for commentary on the radios. WELL! At these intervals, it was all we could do keep our heads from exploding (imploding?) with the info-flow. As James said,“This is taking my entire brain, and I’m not sure how much I had to start with!” Or something to that effect.

Posting was equally fun as the run groups were in no particular order and cars in any group were bound to be at totally opposite ends of the posting board. With the loss of Mike in the afternoon, James had to call the class as well as the car number so Myra had a better chance of finding the correct driver. (“OA, OJ, OG OH SH--!) The brain cells further warped upon finding a couple of CUVs (completely unknown vehicles) on the course—ACK. (Ok—white OG #77, now red OJ #77) Thanks to grid for putting up with the occasional glitch due to our whirling eyeballs and timing lines being crossed by two-legged beasties instead of 4-wheeled toys. So—if you encountered James or myself on the road after the fun, you now understand the “Bill the Cat” meets “The Pointy-haired Boss” look on our faces! I had to remind myself that I made a prime target for law-enforcement types due to the “Porsche factor” and idiot-avoidance tactics. Thanks for a WONDERFULLY mind-bending and FUN Saturday, everyone! TTFN

Top 10 Times of the Day
Mike and I haven’t been out much lately, so a combination of rusty driving skills and slippery street tires made for some amusing “toss and catch”, but we did have the silly grin that comes from NOT losing it and improving times. (Although Mike’s fix for “Spinner”- a ducktail- wasn’t enough to prevent style points on cooked tires) The variety of cars (lots of OTHER makes) and drivers was fun to watch and we met some folks that we hadn’t had the chance to greet yet.

Now, about that timing tent. Worker assignments were graciously made with kids in mind (thank you!) which meant Mike and I were in posting and timing. I did timing with Wendy and James trying to keep track of cars crossing lines at less than 15sec intervals, finding said cars on the timing sheets, acknowledging and recording times, cones hit, DNF’s, etc., and calling times etc to posting. For those of you who have worked timing before, you know that this isn’t ordinarily all that great a
