The Inside Track

by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President

A

t the June Board meeting it was decided that the Executive Council should review the Bylaws and make recommendations for updating as deemed appropriate. A number of changes are being recommended, with many falling into the category of "dotting I's and crossing T's. However, there are also some more significant changes being proposed. We are recommending that: The definition of a quorum be broadened to ensure adequate representation be in attendance when club business is being conducted.

Financial reporting requirements be amended.

Standing Committees list be updated to more accurately reflect current club activities, with each Chairperson being required to submit an annual budget. Once approved the Chairperson will be able to conduct their business without the need for further board approvals.

Realizing it is improbable to anticipate all potential expenditures, we are asking that the President be authorized to approve up to $500.00 for expenses outside of normally budgeted and approved expenses, without Board approval. We anticipate this would be the rare exception, not the norm.

All the proposed changes are posted on our website and can be reviewed along with the existing Bylaws. Assuming proper notification, we hope to vote on these at Founders Day. We realize that other changes may be required from time to time. In fact, we plan to appoint a special committee to evaluate the issues regarding online special board meetings and voting. If you are interested in serving on this committee please contact me.

East Texas Autumn Foliage Tour Sunday, Nov. 13, 2005 Time / Meeting Place: Meet @ 7:30 am @ Wal-Mart parking lot SW corner of Hwy 80 & Belt Line 1 mile east of 635. Drivers’ meeting @8:00 am.

Return to Dallas ~ 5:00 p.m.

Venue: Winnsboro Autumn Auto Trail Lunch: TBD Bring: FRS radio (2-way “walkie talkie”), extra key “just in case”, gas tank full RSVP: Andy or Cindy Miller 817 545-2584 or miller4177@comcast.net

Maverick Minutes

by Michael Wingfield

T

he October 2005 Maverick Region Board meeting was held at Hackberry Creek Country Club on October 4, 2005. The meeting had the following 19 members in attendance: Executive Council –Rocky Johnson, Mark Gluck, Jeff Atkins, Michael Wingfield; Board Members – Mike Brodigan, Lanean Hughes, Chuck Machala, Bill Miller, Charlie Davis,Teri Davis, Ed Gross, Tracey Gross, Wendy Shoffit, Joel Nannis, Dennis Chamberlain, Joe McGlohen; Other Members –Marie Wingfield, Albert Sansores, Clint Blackman. Rocky called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM, and began the ‘round table discussion.

RJ: Would like a broader range of awards presented at Founder’s Day and is open to suggestions. For example, a 500 Mile/5 Podium Club Race award for local racers participating in Races within 500 miles of the metroplex, and obtaining 5 or more podium finishes. Would like help naming the Club Racing awards. AX/TT will present the same awards as years past. Would like Rally awards, and TD says she will have two 2005 Rally Season awards. RJ says Andy Miller will have a Tour award called the “Wing Man Award” for a loyal tour participant. The DE program will present a Free DE entry to a 2005 DE season participant by drawing a name a hat. Each participant will get an entry into the drawing for each paid entry accepted into a DE event. DE Instructors will also have a name drawn from a hat for a gift certificate. Instructors will get an entry into the drawing for each DE event worked. Winners of the DE drawings need not be present at Founder’s Day to receive their award. JN says Membership will have certificates of recognition for 20-year members.

MG: Oct. events are insured and Nov. events will get insurance soon.

JA: We have money.

MB: 15 advertisers renewed ads in Slipstream and 9 remain outstanding. 5 opted for links on the Maverick web page.

MW: September DE event was oversubscribed in the Green and Blue groups, but had a few spots open in the Yellow and White groups.

With 98 entrants, the event did not quite sell out, even though we had to turn away some Green group entrants. The September ’05 DE was the first DE to not sell out since the DE program began in 1999. The October DE still has openings in all groups, with 90 entrants to date. Executive Council continues to work on the Bylaws revision and will have something to present to the membership in November.

LH: 23 Mavericks participated in the Club Race at Hallett, including two Rookie Candidates – John Gladwill & Gerry Krupp. Mavericks Mike & Marie Stafford were selected as one of the 3 candidates to win a 2006 Porsche 911 Club Coupe in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of PCA. They attended the ALMS race at Road Atlanta where the drawing was held. Unfortunately, they did not win the limited edition car (only 50 produced), but watch Slipstream for their article on their experience. At the ’06 Parade, Region of the Year nominees no longer need to provide a regional scrapbook. Maverick has been lax in maintaining a regional scrapbook, which has not been updated in two years. We need to maintain a scrapbook to preserve the region history. See the ad asking for volunteers to take over the region scrapbook. Founder’s Day will have scrapbooks on display. New Hope Shelter has walls, floors, windows, and the roof will be completed this week. In 4-6 weeks, painting and clean-up crews will be needed, as well as volunteers. No ETA on a move-in date.

Pier-1 Imports will donate some furniture to the new shelter.

CM: Charity AX will be this weekend (10/9) at TMS, to benefit Hope Shelter. Autobahn Motorcars will sponsor the Charity AX. WS interjects that the Charity AX currently has 20 entrants. Final AX of the season will be at Mineral Wells 10/16. Bought two Icom radios with extended warranties for $450 and used for testing at the Sept. DE. The radios worked well and will order eight more radios, as well as a 6-way charger. Total cost of radios, chargers, and extended warranty is $2,700, which is $300 below the $3,000 allocated in June.

8

BM: Needs a propane tank for the street sweeper used at Mineral Wells. Makes a motion for $2,000 to buy AX/TT trophies. JM seconds.

Motion carries. Next AX school will be Feb. 2006.

CD: Will rebuild the carburetors during the winter. Exhaust manifold not repaired this year, but truck passed inspection for the year.

TD: Rally school will be scheduled for Jan. 21 or 22, 2006 depending on calendar. A rally will occur Feb. 18 or 19, 2006. Plans to hold 3 or 4 rally events in ’06. JM has a rally school curriculum that he will share.

EG: Steve Boyd is still working on the on-line Goodie Store. Bob & Clara Lewis are working on plans for the Holiday Party (12/10). Planning a Wine Tasking social at Tony’s Wine Warehouse for Feb. 2006. RSVP will be required for the wine tasting, with a max. of 40 participants allowed.

New Member Party tentatively scheduled for 1/14 at TMS Club House.

TG: Goodie Store now has helmet bags, which are good sellers.

Goodie Store has sold ~$550 in merchandise. Surplus shirts destined for hurricane relief victims via the Salvation Army last month will go to the Hope Shelter this month. Salvation Army did not want the shirts.

WS: Oct. Slipstream is at the mail house. Printing held up waiting for the Post Office notice. Has new upgrade of software, which should help the process and is current with Ussery Printing. Looking for September DE article. Zims Autotechnik will hold a Swap Meet 11/5.

Presented invitation kits to Founder’s Day, that will be delivered to sponsors. RJ makes the motion that the kits include two tickets to Founder’s Day rather than one. TG seconds. Motion carries. Founder’s Day photographs will be upgraded over the Polaroid photos of years past. Proposes that the Editor be given free entry into all region events during the year to encourage Editor participation. Topic was tabled until the next meeting to allow other committees to discuss.

JN: Currently receiving membership list via email. This will allow him to once again contact the 40-50 persons per month that do not renew their PCA membership.

DC: Happy Hour (HH) at Monica’s was a big success with ~40 in attendance. October HH is 10/20 at Joe T. Garcias in Ft. Worth – bring cash since Joe T’s does not accept credit. November (11/17) HH at Razzoo’s Cajun Café in Irving.

AS: Asks if Hackberry will be the permanent location for Board Meetings. RJ replies that it will be the location for the remaining ’05 meetings. AS asks why the Sept. DE did not sell out. Possible reasons include the economy, gas prices, competition, and loss of “novelty.”

Events have been oversubscribed by novice & beginner groups, but many of those persons entered out of curiosity. Not all novice & beginner entrants decide to stay involved with this type of driving activity.

CB: Presented some sample beverage containers the Goodie Store might consider stocking.Assured by RJ that Andy Miller (Tours) will help CB develop the “Sunday Drive” event. The “Sunday Drive” event will be short drives beginning on a Sunday afternoon, and end by dinner.

Presented an “Ugly Sticker”petition to have the current Texas registration sticker redesigned.

JM: The Mini (Cooper) Club is looking for rally support. JM will help institute the Mini Club rally program and Maverick members are invited to participate.

RJ: The “Individual Support Policy” became divisive and emotional. Proposes that the policy die without further board action – Board agrees. Asks how can we, the Board, better serve the membership? For example, how should we treat surplus funds? Proposes that in lieu of a published agenda, we publish any exceptional expense proposals a month prior to discussion at a board meeting to allow the membership to better voice concerns.

Hackberry Creek Country Club will host the remaining 2005 Board Meetings. Attendees must RSVP for the meetings in order for the region to obtain the proper size room for the meeting. The next meeting will be Tuesday, 11/1. The meeting adjourned at 9:14 PM.

Happy Hour at Monica’s

by Dennis Chamberlain

For our November 17 happy hour we’ll be trying out a new place – Razzoo’s Cajun restaurant in Irving. It’s on the north side of LBJ (635) just west of MacArthur. Think of it as a celebration for New Orleans getting back on its feet. Hope to see you there.

Photo by Dennis Chamberlain

Monica’s was a good place for us because it was spacious and (especially) inexpensive. It turns out that Thursday night is their night for special prices on enchiladas, and they always have happy hour prices for margaritas. How about an enchilada dinner and two margaritas for under ten dollars? Needless to say, we’ll be going back there.

his was our first happy hour at Monica’s in Addison, although in previous years we have ventured to the Oak Lawn area for Monica’s upscale (and more expensive) Ciudad Restaurant. We had about forty for the happy hour, and about thirty-five stayed for dinner.

here do you go for advice on how to repair the battery problem you’re having on your 1984 911 Targa? Who do you ask when you’re looking for a trustworthy body shop to do a good job fixing your hail dent or minor dings?

Where do you look to find out who you should buy your new Cayman from? Who can you ask about what an AX, TT, or a DE is and when the next one will be coming?

and click “Join.” Yes, it can be that easy.

Boxstoberfest 2005

By Bob Bianconi

Photo by Bob Bianconi

I

t was the biggest; it was the best Boxster gathering in the Southwest… ever! And it was right here in Texas. Boxstoberfest 2005 was held the weekend of September 9-11 in Fredericksburg at the eastern edge of Hill Country. Supported by Maverick, Lonestar and Hill Country Regions, this year’s Boxstoberfest (the 8th annual) hosted 62 Boxsters, a couple of 968’s, four 911’s, two 356’s and a Cayenne. Not to mention the P40… ah, more on that later. D/FW won the honor of having the most Boxsters attending, closely followed by Austin and Houston. Many folks came from other Texas cities/towns such as San Angelo, Pittsburgh (Bob and Jan Jones), Longview, and Corpus Christi.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the car show was provided by George Szokoly. George flew his private plane from Savannah Georgia to be at Boxstoberfest. He also volunteered to take one of the participant’s kids up in the plane to take pictures of the car line-up. There were several flybys with everyone standing beside their car. Not to be outdone, the owner of the airport got in his helicopter to take pictures of his own. Best of all, right in the middle of all the Boxster hubbub was a fully restored P40 fighter aircraft.

With the festivities at the airport just about over, Boxstoberfest participants lined up in 2 groups for a drive through the Hill Country.

With such a large crowd, one group took a clockwise route while the second group took a counter-clockwise route. Both groups met in Leakey, Texas at the Frio Canyon Lodge for lunch. After lunch a third group assembled for a spirited drive back towards Fredericksburg driving the famous (infamous?) ‘330’ routes (Rt’s 335, 336, 337). These are just about some of the best roads in Hill Country with lots of curves and elevation. One of the participants called the trip back a roller coaster; that about says it all. The remaining 2 groups continued at a nice leisurely pace back to the Officer’s Club at the Fredericksburg Airport where cold drinks and snacks were waiting.

Hill Country roads can’t be beat.

Boxstoberfest weekend started off with a huge German bier bash on Friday night at the Auslander restaurant in downtown Fredericksburg. The Auslander is located on Fredericksburg’s Main Street; but for this weekend, “Main Street” was not to be. Instead, by Mayoral decree, “Main Street” was re-named “Boxster Boulevard” in our honor! This has got to be the only street in the country, maybe the world, named after the Boxster (Stuttgart take note…)!

Saturday was the big day. The morning started off with a Boxster car show at the Fredericksburg Airport. With private aircraft as the backdrop, 62 Boxsters lined up on the flight line. And I have to say it was a pretty impressive sight. All the Boxsters were judged for overall cleanliness including scoring attributes such as…

Saturday evening wrapped up the day with a buffet dinner at the Fredericksburg Brewing Company. Folks who took digital pictures during the weekend downloaded their shots onto a computer and

• The amount of ‘garbage’ in the seat folds (5 points no garbage, 1 point lots of garbage); • Whether the wheel crests pointed to the valve cap (old factory tradition)

There were lots of very clean ’05 Boxsters and an ’06 or two, but the cleanest car was owned by D/FW folks, Richard and Robyn Bradley, with their really sweet ’00 Guards Red Boxster. Congrats, guys!

Another highlight of the car show was the supercharged Boxster brought by Imagine Auto, a Kansas City Porsche tuner. This car was pretty awesome, to say the least. Many folks were eyeing-up the trick install. IA also brought Boxstoberfest T-shirts for each car. Great deal!

• And best of all: each car got 1 point for having a front license plate, but got 2 points if they didn’t!

Aerial views like this happen once in a lifetime.

everyone got to see themselves driving, eating and generally acting silly.

There were two photo tributes, one to Gottfried Hogh a Boxstoberfest participant from Michigan who passed away this past year. The second was to Boxstoberfest organizer, Mike Renter from HCR, who is currently serving in Iraq. There were lots of door prizes; in fact there were enough to go around twice. D/FW area sponsors included Autobahn, Boardwalk, and Zims. Texas Driver Magazine was on hand to cover the event and hand out copies of their great magazine and new on-line magazine, Rainy Day Magazine, offered free subscriptions to participants.

What was the best part of Boxstoberfest? Well, aside from meals, room and gas, Boxstoberfest was free. Then there was the great assembly of Boxsters and all the free stuff. But as always, it’s all those fun folks who just happen to own a car like me. Y’all gotta try it next year. It’s a great big smile.

Carrera Cruises - Porsche in Ferrari Land

by Alan Lage After securing a hotel room we took a quick blast up a back Maranello road which looked like the neighbourhood where the Ferrari owners lived, the road had plenty of extra curves which appeared to be put there only for the pleasure of the residents. The restaurant “Il Cavallino” (Enzo’s favourite) was hursday of Memorial Day weekend our choice for an authentic Italian Ferrari Verena and I loaded up the 911 and dining experience. While drinking red wine left Mainz for a long weekend of fast and waiting on our dinner the wait staff and cars, shoes, relaxing in the sun, great food cooks all headed outside to take a look at the and wine. Yes, we were heading to Italy.

After a late after-work start we decided to When they returned we asked our waiter why spend the night in the south German town the excitement over the Porsche in the midst of of Freiburg near Switzerland. With occaFerrari land? The waiter said: “we grew up next sional bursts of 250+ kph on some stretches to the Ferrari factory and see them every day. (on the no speed limit autobahn), this trip But a Carrera, now, that is exciting…” only took us one and a half hours.

The drive took us through Switzerland, where the strictly Saturday we moved onto the Sirmione peninsula on Lake enforced 120 kph speed limit mimics the Swiss people well known Garda, where the medieval cobblestone-streets are so narrow that the throughout Europe as slow movers. In contrast: once we crossed Carrera’s wide rear hips almost brushed the walls of the houses right the Italian border, even though the speed limit only increased to and left. Fortunately they were mostly one-way-roads; still I had to 130 kph, the traffic on the autostrada began to move much faster be careful not to run over an elderly Italian lady chitchatting with her and chaotically just like the Italian people move through life in neighbour across the street or a smiling old man enjoying the sun on what appears to be a constant chaos that somehow works. a chair in front of his house. Our hotel was situated on the East shore My favourite Italian driving method is to speed down the middle of the two lanes, if a car is coming up quickly behind, you move to the right lane. If you start to catch traffic in front, you move to the left lane while your left blinker quickly moves slow traffic to the right, making your pass quick and safe. As the speed differential between a Fiat Topolino and my Carrera can easily approach 200 kph, this Italian style of lane discipline works perfectly for everyone on the road no matter how much horsepower you are packing.

Now if we could only get some lane discipline in the good ole USA. Once off the autostrada, the back roads to Maranello are ruled

by Ferraris, Porsches - mainly black Cayennes which would be my choice as a North Italian mafia leader - and the ever present Vespas and Piaggios whizzing around us like bees protecting their hives.

Mix this with the notorious Fiat Bravo (are they all silver?), three wheel Apes (bee in Italian) and you have some serious back road chaos that somehow works.

Maranello would be a sleepy small Italian town if not for the ever present howl of the V8 and V12 Ferrari engine. After an afternoon spent browsing the Ferrari store, drooling at the Ferrari museum, a truly awesome display of street and racing Ferraris and engines, and trying to gain access to the Fiorano test track (but only getting glimpses of its action by peaking through the fence on the side of a back road), we drove by the factory. Just at this moment a factory fresh F430 howled through the back gate and a shift of factory workers all sporting red cavallino work outfits ended their day. Still later in the evening as we went to dinner we spotted the “men in red” having an aperitivo at the local café and a Campari at the pub. These factory workers must be so proud to be part of Ferrari land that their work outfits do not even come off during their evening social time.

We explored the shops and beaches ending the day with an excellent seafood and pasta meal washed down with great wine and grappa.

Sunday we explored the west coast of Lake Garda with a main stop in Gargnano, where Verena once spent a summer studying Italian in the beautiful Palazzo Feltrinelli, the Milan’s University summer school situated directly on the lake. A few hot afternoon hours were spent under the olive trees on the beach reading and napping.

The weekend ended on Monday with a final stop at Brescia for window shopping and a spectacular late lunch, before we had to slow-move back through Switzerland. We hit the German border early Monday evening; very light traffic allowed the music of the flat six at full song fill our ears until we arrived home in Mainz.

Time Trial #5 - My First Ever

by Christy Dominick s a first time attendee at the Time Trials, I was not sure what to expect. However, I was excited at the thought of getting a chance to drive the way I really want to.

this was a potentially bad thing. The first group ran for 2 hours and I started to feel the burn. The time went by quickly with Shelly giving me plenty of insight and instruction on the course and procedures. This was fun, but now it was my turn behind the wheel.

Denny (my honey) and I left Flower Mound at the crack of dawn to get to Mineral Wells by 7:30 am. Of course, we were well prepared with plenty of water, snacks, and sunscreen. We were welcomed by Wendy, who checked us in and gave us the low-down.

First order of business – sunscreen. I quickly covered my shoulders and arms and watched as Denny took off on his first run. Did I mention I was excited? In all this excitement, I did not cover my face, chest, neck, legs….you get the idea. I was pumped and had great fun, but I was horribly burnt for two weeks, everywhere but my arms and shoulders.

A

Now my turn! What an incredible rush! I was still driving like I was in my SUV, but by the end of my first session, I was ready to get down and dirty.

Turn #1 was tighter than I expected…I’d be ready next time.

Turn #2 I could visualize and had the feeling of how to handle it.

Turn #3 was freaking me out! After the first session, I had to psyche myself up for it and push it further than I thought I could.

In the second session I certainly pushed it….I almost spun out, fishtailed instead, and pulled it out, without touching a pylon!

Christy demonstrating her excitement.

Apparently it was a smaller group than usual, but we had enough people to cover all the corners. I was on the tarmac at turn #4 for the first group’s session. I would recommend this for anyone who is on a course for the first time. Seeing the challenges the drivers were having gave me a distinct advantage on turn #4.

I knew what to expect. Turn #3 was a different story, though. We’ll get back to that later…..

I was so excited, but had no idea what I needed to do out on the course. Fortunately, I had Shelly with me for that, too. After the drivers’ meeting it was time to go. I grabbed some water and off we went, with Bill Miller dropping the attendants at their designated turns. However, in my excitement, I forgot to put on the sunscreen we brought with us. Being a fair-skinned redhead,

Being the first time for both Denny and I, we were paired up with Rick Randall and Shelly Burbank for a tour of the course, and some valuable instruction. Denny and I did well thanks to their help. They did a fabulous job getting us up to speed (pun intended). Much thanks to them both!

Rick Randall ready to roll with Brian Petri looking on.

Turn #4 was my baby. I had watched every driver in the first group take those turns and I knew what I wanted to do and how to do it. However, I learned another valuable lesson from Bryan Bell. I went for a ride with Bryan on a fun run and he took turn 4 very differently than I did…and much better.

Turn #5 was comfortable. I guess that’s why I got a little too cocky on my second to last hot lap and ran over the only cone I hit that day. If I had just held on, I would have beaten Denny’s best time. In the end, Denny only beat me by 0.2 seconds!

Turn #6 was frustrating at first, but I was ready to take it on in my second session, too.

Ultimately, I had an incredible time, learned a bunch and made some new friends. Everyone in the group was very helpful, friendly, professional and accommodating. I am looking forward to the next Time Trial and have been running the course in my head over and over. All I have to say is, “Look out Denny, I’ll get you on the next one.” Oh, and after some driving schools, look out ladies. :o)

Good condition--driver's side has some minor wear on the top of left bolster from sliding in and out of the car (which you would not really notice without specifically looking for it). Passenger side is nearly unused. Seats include factory sliders that are a direct fit for all 996 and Boxsters without any modification. Great for DE's and comfortable enough for the street.
