W
ell another great year of fun and fellowship with our Maverick Porsche buddies is coming to an end. Just think, there are only two Sunday drives, a DE at Eagles Canyon Raceway, three more Porsche Lunches (well, there are four scheduled, but I think we might blow off the one on Thanksgiving Day), and two more really cool Happy Hours, (one in Plano, one in Colleyville). In addition to all this, we have the Autocross and Time Trial award celebration at Dave and Busters, and our annual FOUNDER’S DAY and HOLIDAY CELEBRATION! What an ending! This Year Founder’s Day is at the fabulous Gaylord Texan Resort on Lake Grapevine. This is a can’t miss event. Christy Payne and her gang have put together an awesome program that is long on fun, and short on award presentations. The price is great, and I will even buy you a drink. Check the web site, or the ad in this issue for more details. While Bryan Bell was tending to our Region (thanks Bryan), Judy and I were on a longanticipated trip through Scotland and Ireland. We sure had a blast. Besides the beautiful scenery, there were lots and lots of castles, churches, sheep, and pubs. Lots of pubs. Now you have to understand that on most of our travels Judy is in charge. She does a great job of seeking out all the great places to visit and what to see. This trip Mike took control. We had seven days in Ireland, with most of our activities pre-planned by our tour group. When we had free time, I announced that I had set a goal of visiting at least 30 different Irish pubs, and have at least one drink in each one. Now I know that this was a very lofty objective, but I had a lot of encouragement from our fellow travelers, and Judy was a pretty good sport about it. I made number 30 on our last day at 4:30 pm. Success! 2

Maverick Minutes Lisa Steele, Secretary
I
f you thought last month’s minutes were short and to the point, just keep reading these minutes…it won’t take long I promise. You see, our fabulous President Mike Brodigan, decided to take on the challenge of running a very quick but efficient meeting. We began the meeting promptly at 7:00pm.
safely. Robyn also announced that there is only 1 Time Trial and Autocross event remaining for the season.
Christy Payne started our round the table discussion with several updates on upcoming Social Events. She passed around a list of sponsors and other generous people who have always donated items for our Silent Auction at Founder’s Day. Many people promised to call and collect items for the Silent Auction. Christy also announced that the AX/TT Awards Celebration at Dave and Busters is all set to go. She also reported that the Club House for the New Member Party is no longer available on Sundays, therefore the party will be scheduled for Saturday, Jan.29th.
Jim Falgout was grinning from ear to ear because he was happy to announce that he completed his first DE and he only had 3 spins. Jim was also very happy to report, “We have money!” Speaking of money, there are a few advertisers who have still not paid so Pat Friend said he would make a few calls to those advertisers so they won’t get their ad pulled from Slipstream.
Robyn Howard speaking for Travis Howard reported that the Oct. 2-3 Time Trial and Autocross was good but had low attendance. There were just enough people to run the event
Robyn reminded the group about the Swap Meet at Zims on October 9th. 15% discount on parts…what a great deal! Bryan Bell had nothin’ to say except that he is looking forward to the Club Race at Hallett on the weekend of Oct.16th-17th. Good Luck to ALL Maverick Club Racers!!
Pat Friend was pleased to announce that we have 3 new advertisers coming on board to Slipstream. Pat also reported that the orders for badges had not been what he was expecting. After some discussion, Wendy Shoffit and Mike Brodigan said they would look at clubregistration.net for member information. Hopefully, an order can be placed soon. Ed Mullenix said that he would try to get a Tech Session set up for the 27th of November. Richard Bradley was very excited to announce that he might have some more help with Slipstream. One of our members may help take on designing some of the announcements for our events because she has a graphic design background. This would really help Christy who currently designs most if not all of the Event Ads. Lisa Steele (me) reported that we had a wonderful turn out for our September DE. We tried a new caterer for this event and got rave reviews from everyone. We hope to have Del Norte serving their wonderful cuisine at all of our upcoming DE’s and all events on the calendar for next year. Madhu Rao was present to see the true artistry of taking minutes at our Board Meetings…wink, wink. If you carefully read last month’s Slipstream, you noticed Mr. Rao’s name on the Board Officers Ballot for Secretary for 2011. Wendy Shoffit reported that we collected over $500 during Charity Laps at the September DE. Thank you very much to Clint’s Sunday Drivers for coming out and donating so generously! Carey and beautiful daughter Geneva Spreen were present but did not have much to report. Carey is still working on Rallies for next year.

Jerry Alprin was a new face at the Board Meeting this month. He just wanted to see how efficient we truly are! Welcome Jerry…we hope you come join us at many more meetings.

Fall Season DE Arrives By Carrie Carrera
S
eptember 18-19th started the Maverick Region Driver Education season. So what is wrong with this picture?
Summer officially ends September 22nd, so that’s why it was still so blasted hot. Afternoon temperatures in the mid-90s yet we did have sunshine and a mild breeze. Not quite Fall. Then there was registration and OH NO – where was Joel? Wendy Shoffit was managing registration instead, and did a fine job getting everyone their stickers, wrist bands and schedules. Instructor session started pretty much on time, and on grid we had - OH NO – where was Jan? Our ‘grid babe’

instead was Travis Howard, who made his debut for Drivers’ Education events from the Auto-X and Time Trial events. Parade laps each day over lunch raised a healthy sum of $500+ cash for our club’s favorite charity –The Hope Shelter. Okay, he’s not quite as cute as Jan, however grid ran efficiently and without issues all weekend. Great job Travis. Yellow group on Saturday seemed to be plagued with several cars going off course. The not-so-new mown hay (those from Indiana will get it) caught fire easily once 3 feet from the edge of the track. So their first few sessions were cut short so that the safety crews could put out the grass fires. And so we had to count on Black Flag to marshal the cars off track and OH NO where
was Joel? James Shoffit, our Zone 5 Rep was handling black flag this weekend, and at least he wasn’t too busy. John Hamilton and John Sandusky ran the driver’s meetings for entrants and instructors respectively. Our fine hostesses, Andrea Bell and Lisa Steele were making laps between the paddock and grid restocking water, ice,
a few advanced promotions – great job everyone. So this proves that even if we are missing some of our regulars, the club has depth and experience, and can still put on a first class event for our students and friends. We look forward to seeing you back again for the October and November Fall DE events.
snacks and making sure our students were having fun and getting their cars ready for their run groups. Okay, GOOD at least that was all normal!! And we had Sophie the wonder dog at Team 1, although she spent most of Saturday afternoon not on grid – not only a good dog, but smart too. The 3.1 mile course at MotorSport Ranch was fun and challenging as ever. Several students advanced from green to blue, blue to blue solo and

Zims Swap Meet & Concours Robyn Howard, Swap Meets
T
his is the best time of year to clean out the garage, and it pays to get up early on Saturday morning! I did, and I found some great deals as well as some sweet donuts and coffee to open my eyes at our annual Zims Swap Meet. Al Zim gave 15% off all parts at the counter, another great bonus! All sizes of parts were to be found, including entire cars. This year a Concours

Cliff’s Ramblings: Riding The Fine Line In A Porsche Workshop By Cliff Blackshear
W
ith a Porsche that is in its warranty period, defining the line between what is warrantable and what is not, is an issue that has become most interesting in the past decade for me. So many owners now enjoy DE’s and other pursuits with their P-Car. I’ve been thinking about that subject a lot lately as I have slowly realized just how different things are now. From a pure technician’s perspective it has been an interesting role for me. In my environment we want to represent the owner’s needs to the factory. Porsche adjusts their perspective only when a workshop can properly show a failure that should not happen when a vehicle is driven on limit in totally stock (unmodified) form. Imagine presenting a warranty issue to the factory from my side. Flywheel seal leak in a GT3, early clutch failure in a Cayman S, failed synchro in a 997 Twin gearbox, or overheated power steering fluid issue in any Porsche assembled since 1997 (intro of Boxster). I could go back further in time but I’ll go to Boxster intro year for this. All of them tracked in stock configuration. Imagine you are looking at these failures and the car has GT3 seats, harness bar, 5 point harnesses, etc. etc. I face that dilemma a lot and I’m the one at our shop that communicates with the factory on failure issues. Yet it is not hard to deal with. Porsche does not shut the door on failures that have nothing to do with the car being driven on the track or modifications to make the car more track friendly. I can readily answer, “Yes the car is tracked” to anyone I deal with at PCNA and that has no bearing on final warrantable decision. Sometimes I get the feeling that if the car is tracked, they take the failure personally and do not want it to happen again. I’m serious here. Certain areas require much thought and understanding. Example: Drive any Porsche with stock suspension and tires at the track and lubrication issues rarely occur. Change the overall grip level with sticky track tires and or suspension set up strictly track related (hence higher lateral G’s) and things are much different. Oiling the engine can become an issue. In our shop, we have worked hard to educate owners in this area. If you change the car from street design when it comes to lateral and longitudinal G’s to a track oriented set up, these forces have to be dealt with. A different lubrication dynamic has to be considered. Oil separator needs work, windage tray in oil pan needs “race style” set up. As far as the factory is concerned that is what GT3RS and Cup Cars are designed for. Going to short throw shifters with stock synchros can also be a problem. The system works well until an owner is really
running some adrenalin and trying to get better lap times, even then really good drivers do not wear down synchros. In the past the cars and the technology available were pretty primitive. A stock Boxster built today has so much potential it is amazing. Minor upgrades to suspension or brakes are easy and results are huge. Work on these cars as long as I have and come out of a 356 as your starter car and you would understand. Anyhow. Here is what I’m getting to. I’ve spent time with factory people for decades at the repair level. Met engineers that came out to investigate issues way back (for me, actually first time was early 1972 911S car, late in the year 1972; I’ll never forget that one). They still come out today if I report anything new or unusual on a new car. It is quite different now. There is a team of engineers that 20 of us dealers report to monthly. I am required to get in a minimum of 10 reports a month to them. High res pics are a must and written documentation of every step taken to resolve an issue is required. We 20 reporting individuals have a special site we go to, set up just for “product reporting”. There we log on and send our information. If a part failed we take pics of bar code on part so they can view production date, where produced, etc. Plus our feedback on a failure must include symptoms failure caused, any consequential failures that result in the vehicle, and pics of all damage etc. The engineering team is a group of very passionate people. I absolutely love conversing and reporting to them. No failure of anything is considered beneath investigating for them. Something as simple as a light bulb failure can produce some interesting results. The cars now have monitoring software that can show mechanical over-rev situations. Any idea how many people accidentally pull second gear when intending fourth gear and at redline in third gear? We see quite a few yearly... It happens. It is human to make a mistake. Unfortunately that is an expensive mistake. We’ve seen GT3’s that recorded 11000 RPM over-revs. Amazingly this usually only results in things like ring gear on flywheel shifts out of position and often times the clutch disc explodes into pieces. If the engine checks ok otherwise as far as leak-down tests and compression check goes, it still leaves many unknown possible damage that may rear its ugly head at a later time. Like stretched rod bolts, minutely bent valves that kissed a piston, etc. I do not ask the factory for assistance in repairs like that. That is the owner’s responsibility. It is a moving target for me when people track their cars and failures occur. I want honesty on all fronts. Porsche responds well to honest data. I enjoy every minute of being in this position. It keeps me interested in so many ways. Cruising along!

Happy Hour at BJ’s Restaurant Chris Christensen, Happy Hour Chair
W
e had over 30 Mavericks join us at the September Happy Hour. This was our first Happy Hour at BJ’s; it seemed that most everyone was enjoying some pretty good looking pizzas or salads. No food complaints were apparent. However, we will need to generate a vote of confidence before we return…was it thumbs up or thumbs down? Send us an email so we will know for the future, your vote counts!
Photos by Chris Christensen has met that has driven in major races such as the 24 hour of Le Mans. That is pretty impressive by all accounts regardless of the finish. The race has had an interesting history, and not always the most pleasant, but certainly always exciting. If anyone would like to talk about racing or Porsches in any way that would keep our Happy Hour audience nearly spellbound, do not hesitate and step right up. There is no money involved but the bragging rights are endless.
By the time this article hits the press, we will have had our first speaker at a Happy Hour. Perhaps this was done in the past, and if so we are not the By the way, we first. From time to time and certainly Doug and Cheryl Koeppen and Maria Stafford welcome forgot to mention that not every Happy Hour we thought it you to our next Happy Hour. the parking was pretty interesting to invite someone from the decent at BJ’s. Most everyone parked in an open area with club or maybe outside the club if he or she has the right Porsches on both sides. And we noticed a new black 911 stuff, to speak for a short while towards the end of dinner. Anyway, maybe another vote is in order as to whether this is good addition to our venue or not. Certainly, Jack Griffin who was our speaker at October’s Happy Hour has the credentials. He also still owns his first two Porsches that are now over thirty years old…and we

My First Porsche ... Club By Mark Wilkinson
I
was invited to join my brother, James, at a Time Trial event in Mineral Wells. He offered to let me drive his car at the event. This would be my first Time Trial, and I didn’t really know what that meant. I knew I would be driving fast around a lot of cones. I was also told it was similar to an Autocross, but with higher speeds and less turns. Well this was going to be fun! I love to drive fast, and thanks to my brother, I just had to show up. I found out this event was organized by a Porsche Club (PCA Maverick Region). The odd part is, I wouldn’t be driving a Porsche. You see, this Porsche Club welcomes people to their event. More people ease the burden of working the course, and make it a safer driving environment. Although I wouldn’t be directly competing in the official Porsche Club member times, I can compare my lap times to theirs, and see how I stack up in my brother’s Ford Mustang. This was my first experience with a Porsche Club, and I wasn’t sure if I would end up sucking exhaust smoke at the end of the day, but I was willing to find out! The course I would be driving isn’t a strip of asphalt where the driver just keeps the car off the grass. This is a wide open 60+ acre asphalt lot with cones spread out to mark the track at key locations. It’s not thousands of cones, and the cone spacing makes it difficult to see the course at first, but once I put a few laps on the tires, the track came into focus and became second nature to follow. Since it was my first time at the Time Trial, I was assigned an instructor/coach to help me visualize the course. The stars aligned for me that day because I was assigned Bob Kuykendall. Bob was the top driver of last year’s events, and was a tremendous help. After a short wait in the grid, we hit the course for my first warm up lap. Bob was quick to point out the correct line. He kept his hand in my peripheral view, constantly pointing to the correct line. Verbally, he would keep me informed of what was coming up next. “Left turn. Increasing radius.” “Right turn. Decreasing radius.” After the corner he would give me words of encouragement. “Not bad. Enter a little tighter Mark Wilkinson running solo after successful mentoring from Bob Kuykendall. next time.” 26
Photos by Charlie Davis We quickly came up to my first hot lap. Bob let me know it was time to go as fast as I could drive. I didn’t want to disappoint, so I gathered all my courage and stepped on the gas. I could hear the excitement in Bob’s voice as we approached each corner. He told me when to brake, pointed me to the apex, and told me when to hit the accelerator. Coming out of the corner, I can still hear his encouragement, “Step on the gas. Go! Go! Go!” All I had to do was have the courage to follow his instructions. I was flying around the course! My heart was beating fast in my chest, I just knew I was squeezing every ounce of power out of the car. The box exit was problematic for Bob was correcting my several drivers, including mistakes, but after the Travis Howard. first couple of laps, he wasn’t making major corrections anymore. I was picking my lines, choosing when to brake or accelerate, and Bob encouraged me the entire time! It was definitely the fastest I could push the car around the corners, and I was sure it couldn’t take any more. Then on the third hot lap, Bob said something that surprised me. “You’re doing great. Now, you just need to go fast.” WHAT! Was Bob not watching the same brilliant driving of my warm up lap, and my amazingly hot laps? I wasn’t sure my heart could take any more adrenaline. He didn’t say go faster, or speed it up. He said go fast. That meant I must have been going slow. How could I go any faster without killing myself and the top driver from last year? I was already at the limit, or so I thought. I’ve been with Bob for ...and Carey Spreen. less than 5 minutes on the course. I already trusted him to keep me from killing everyone, so it was time to put up or shut up. If Bob trusts his life with a guy he’s known for less than 5 driving minutes, then I was going to have to trust him as I pushed the car beyond where I thought the limits were. I pushed my heart as far down from my throat as possible, and kept my foot on the accelerator. As we approached the
My First Porsche ... Club (continued) corner, Bob would motion with his hand to brake, but I knew the brakes were strong, so I waited until the inevitable crash moment. To me, this is the moment when you take action to avoid a crash, and if your brakes don’t work, there isn’t time to do anything else. It’s all or nothing! I think this point was a little further than Bob wanted because after a few corners, he was pumping his hand to let me know it was time to brake, but I held it just a little longer. The car slowed hard to the corner. Bob’s excitement and encouragement picked up. “That’s it! Keep your speed. Brian Petri wobbles it on his way by. Now, Go! Go! Go!” If I wasn’t on the brakes, I was back on the accelerator. Bob was right! The car held the line at a much higher speed. I could feel the rear tires slipping out on me, but they kept holding just long enough to get me through the corner. I knew I was going faster, but I wouldn’t know how much faster until my laps were complete. After 6 hot laps, I finally got to check my times. The difference was amazing! When I thought I was giving it all it had, I was running 85 to 86 second laps. After Bob provided the phrase that will haunt me forever, “Now just go fast,” my lap times were down to 71 and 72 seconds. A 13 second difference from one set of laps to the next! I really was driving slow, and for the record, a Porsche driver pointed it out to me. Not bad for my first experience with a Porsche Club. Everyone shared information on how to set up for the corners, encouragement of smoother motions, and the extra special yell when I spun the car in the corners. There are many more stories I share with friends as I regale my adventure at the event. 90 degree sweeping corners at speeds over 100 mph, lift off over steer at 70mph in an increasing radius turn, applying power instead of brakes to keep the back of the car from sliding out Jeff Herrmann, while instructing, from under me when I push shows his student Chris the corner too hard, and Harsdorff exactly how it should many more. be done.
For me, the main story that stands out in my experience with my first Porsche club is the encouragement, improvement, excitement, and camaraderie I felt as I spent my weekend with a group of people who, despite not knowing me, wanted to help me achieve everything I could on the course I wasn’t a member of their club. I didn’t own a Porsche, and I wasn’t a good driver, but that’s changing since I’ve experienced the PCA Robyn Howard and Tannia Maverick Region Time Dobbins keep logging the Trial. cones!

Autocross #7 Results
November 27
Tech Corner Ed Mullenix, Tech Chair
“W
here have all the electrons gone” is not a song by Peter, Paul, and Mary. It is a question pondered by us when we turn the ignition key of our beloved Porsche and nothing happens. The electrical system of any Porsche made after 1965 is very robust. We generally do not experience the wiring and component issues that other marques do. And no, your Porsche will not catch dreaded Lucas disease if you park it next to a Jag. The weak link in our electrical system is the usually the battery. Modern automotive storage batteries are very reliable. They require no maintenance and sit in their mounting doing their thing until one day, they decide to quit. A battery is a service item just like brake pads and oil filters. We know when we need to change the oil or change our brakes, but a battery does not have a recommended replacement interval and there is not a light on the instrument panel telling you your battery is about to die! Sometimes you get a hint that things are not well electrically. If the engine cranks slowly and the battery is more than three years old, one would be advised to have the electrical system checked. I stated “electrical system” and not just battery. The humongous batteries that are fitted to a Porsche are usually 100 amp-hour batteries. Theoretically, one could place a one amp draw on the battery for 100 hours. In practice, if you leave the trunk open for more than a day, the trunk light will discharge the battery to the point that it will not start the car. Often overlooked when we experience battery problems is what is called “static draw”. It is how much current is flowing out of the battery to run the clock and computer memories when everything else is turned off. The 996’s and 997’s have all sorts of whistles and bells that are computer controlled. The normal static draw on a 997 can be as much as 70 milliamps. An older 911 will have a static draw around 10-25 28
Photos by Ed Mullenix, milli-amps. A quick way to determine if you have something left on or drawing more than the normal current is to place a test light in series with the negative battery cable and the battery post (see accompanying photo). An automotive test light resembles an ice pick with a wire attached to the handle. It has a small bulb in the handle that glows when current is run through it. They are inexpensive (usually around four bucks) and available at any auto parts store or even Wally World in the auto section. To perform the test, make sure everything is turned off. Open the trunk and either disconnect the trunk light or remove the bulb. Also, if you have a car fitted with an alarm, you need to disconnect the switch connected to the trunk latch (the alarm system will draw 240 milliamps if it detects an open door or trunk). Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery (some twisting of the cable connector might be required to free it.) Connect the alligator clip on the end of the test light wire to the negative cable. Place the metal tip of the test light (the ice-pick looking end) on top of the battery post. The test light will usually be brightly lit at this point because you have not reset the alarm or computer memories. With the light still connected, touch the side of the battery cable connector to the battery for a couple of seconds then move it away. If no unusual draw exists, the light will glow very dimly with a slight pulsing caused by the quartz clock. If the light is still brightly lit, something is still on and needs to be addressed or the battery will continue to be discharged. Basic electrical troubleshooting and battery servicing will be one of the topics presented at the next Tech Session at Motorsport Engineering in Richardson on Saturday, November 27th from 9:00 until 12:00. We will have the usual donuts and coffee and an excuse not to go to the shopping mall with our significant others. RSVP to techcorner@mavpca.
