Drifting: Your Club Needs You! By John Hamilton, Region President

es, your local Porsche Club needs a few more women and men to be involved and to fill in some of the volunteer positions that will become open at the end of the year: Autocross Chair: Responsible for scheduling and coordinating our Autocross events. Social Chair: Responsible for scheduling and coordinating our social events. Hospitality: Responsible for managing beverages and food at our Drivers’ Education, New Member/ All Member party and other events. Rally Chair: Responsible for scheduling, organizing, and executing Rally events, which are held on public roads at legal speeds. Like the other positions, it requires attention to detail. Also, familiarity with “Rally Lawyer”style thinking is a plus! And there will be more opportunities for you to “give back” and support your club. Fortunately, all three of our retiring leads (plus the fourth who retired last year) are not going anywhere and are able to support our new volunteers as they transition

into their new roles. But it’s time to “step-up” and offer to fill those roles so we can continue to drive so many successful events for all our members. Is it time for you? Please contact me at president@mavpca.org for more details.

Mav of the Month Speaking of volunteers: sometimes people volunteer on the spur of the moment, not expecting any special recognition, but just jumping in because it’s the right thing to do. Such is the case this month, as occurred on a recent Sunday Drive. As always in these events, there is a lead car and a “sweep”

(a driver who is last in line in the group in case someone gets lost or breaks down). On this occasion, our sweep discovered that one car had been left behind after the break and was separated from the group. The sweep stayed with that car (through a couple of wrong turns), made some phone calls, then guided the lost Porsche (and passengers) to the final destination only a few minutes late. Our hero? Don Sebert, who demonstrated his caring and concern about a fellow member. Don exemplified our motto: “It’s not just the cars; it’s the people!” Thank you Don, for coming when needed. Enjoy your gift card to the Silver Fox Steakhouse.

Carey On...

By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor

ovember is typically the month in which Maverick Region celebrates our anniversary with the Founders’ Day banquet, even though the official date that the Region came into being was December 24, 1962, according to the PCA charter. However, this year we are changing things up a bit. November turned out to be a bit too early for Founders’ Day this year, partly because our Keynote Speaker, David Hobbs, was not available for most of the month due to the Formula One season not finishing up until November 25. So Founders’ Day got pushed back to Saturday, December 1. See the preview on page 8.

Not mentioned in that preview is our Charity Autocross, which will be held the next day, December 2, at Texas Motor Speeedway. The proceeds from this event go to the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House, a shelter for battered women and children. Often at this event, our members bring out their “other” cars to see what they’ll do on the autocross course, and they can be amusing. Sedans, station wagons, trucks (some pulling trailers), and other unlikely vehicles have been known to compete, so if you have always wondered how that Ford Model T sitting in your garage would do in an autocross, December 2 is the day to find out. And since David Hobbs will still be in town, who knows - maybe you can talk him into being your instructor!

On a more national note, you may not have heard that Porsche Panorama, the PCA magazine, will have a new editor as of January 1. Pete Stout, the Editor-in-Chief of Excellence magazine since 1998, will be taking over the reins from Betty Jo Turner, who held the position of Editor-in-Chief of Pano for over 42 years. Mr. Stout will also be the Director of Integrated Marketing for PCA. And finally I would like to introduce Slipstream’s newest advertiser, Jack Junkies, a do-it-yourself garage. They provide the workspace (18 bays available), lift, and tools, and you do the work yourself. Or if you want, you can enlist the assistance one of their technicians. If you do your own automotive work, this sounds like a great idea. Read on!

Maverick Minutes By Madhu Rao, Region Secretary

ur October meeting started at 7:05pm. Region President John Hamilton welcomed the group, which was a bit smaller than normal. It could have been the Presidential debates, or the Rangers game, or the feelings associated with either, as the reason for the smaller number of attendees. John shared the following updates. First up, 2013 Board nominations. Nominating Committee Chair Lori Mauthe reports that a full slate of candidates has been identified for the 2013 Executive Council roles. That is excellent. I’d like to thank Lori and the committee for doing this so quickly. You’ll see the ballot in this issue. Please vote in person at Founders’ Day or mail the ballot to the address therein. Since Lori is also the Drivers’ Education Chair, John shared Lori’s update that the September 15-16 Drivers’ Education (DE) weekend was well-attended and ran smoothly. The event featured activities in conjunction with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, and all had a good time. Holding a track walk was also reported to be helpful. Entrants for the Maverick Region Club Race are 36 confirmed with six pending. The 2013 DE schedule is being finalized now. Membership numbers are extremely encouraging with current membership at 2193. The renewal rate continues to increase and I know that the membership committee continues to work hard to attract new members and increase our membership renewals. Total membership 6

October 3, 2012 has grown every month since April 2011. Congratulations! John also mentioned the following Board-level openings. They include Autocross Chair, Social Chair, and Rally Chair. For more information please contact John at president@ mavpca.org for more information. Sunday Drives were represented by Gareth Maurice, who noted that there were 16 cars and 37 people attending the latest Driving Tour out to Bartonville. The rain notwithstanding, everyone had a good time. Gareth also mentioned the special help of Lisa Steele and Christy Payne to organize the food for the event. Gareth reminded us about the upcoming Glen Rose Ramble Sunday Drive on October 21, featuring a stop at the Wiseman Chocolate Studio, which will be open just for Maverick drivers on that day. Newsletter Editor Carey Spreen presented several updates. He suggested a preview article about our Founders’ Day in the next Slipstream. He also mentioned some of the items that the 50th Anniversary Committee are working on for the upcoming in Holiday Party (Sunday, November 4) and Founders’ Day (Saturday, December 1) events. Please make plans to attend these and see for yourself! Carey also recommended an upcoming date, Saturday January 26th, for the annual All Member Party. Typically held on a Sunday, this popular event moves to Saturday, since the Heritage Clubhouse is closed on Sundays now. Carey also described the recent Hare & Hound Rally, which was attended by three brave driver/navigator teams during the recent rainstorms on September 29, in conjunction with the Grapes to Wine tour.

Treasurer Jim Falgout reported that our financial position continues to improve with the success and focus on the profitability of our regional events. An opportunity exists to collect advertising fees to help bolster our account balances. Tech Session Chair Ed Mullenix noted that a Tech Session will be held on October 20, on the basics of automotive electrical systems. Stay tuned for other Tech Sessions to be held next year. That is, assuming we are all here after 12/21/2012… Time Trial Chair Travis Howard described not one but two pairs of events in September. The first was the TT/AX weekend event on September 8-9 with 30 attendees. Apparently the Autocross winner drove a 914 which finished ahead of a super nice Corvette. There is proof that life is not linear! He also described the September 29-30 TT and AX events, which attracted 18 diehards willing to brave the rain. Autocross Chair Al Silva arrived super early and set up the Autocross course. That’s dedication, on all fronts. Travis also noted that registrations for the Time Trial on October 14 at Motorsport Ranch have been very strong. Lastly, Travis mentioned that he is participating in the 914 Special Interest Group (SIG) Mid-US Ramble in Oklahoma on October 4-7. We look forward to your article about this! Club Race Registrar Wendy Shoffit noted that registrations for the race at Hallett from our region have been strong. PR chair and 50th Anniversary Committe member Linda Bambina noted that she has recently sold $550 of raffle tickets, and interest in the raffle continues to be high. Great job to all who

have worked hard to raise funds through ticket sales for the Maverick Region. Thank You! Linda also mentioned that as part of her public relations duties, October’s featured advertiser is Boardwalk Porsche. The dealership provided her a lot of resources and information. She mentioned that she will be turning over the writing of the Driving Friendships article to someone else soon. She is seeking a special person to help her out with this. Lastly, she mentioned she is working on coordinating a “Round-Up-like” event for next year. If you have any interest in either of these please contact her at bina42@tx.rr.com. Autocross Chair Al Silva followed and amplified the positive response to the Autocross events. He felt that an optimum experience can be achieved with about 20 competitors. I added a comment about the benefits of linking an Introduction to Autocross and Time Trial event with the Sunday Driving Tours. There’s a lot of hard work that goes into holding these events so why not leverage these together with our membership? Meeting adjourned at 8:15pm.

Preview: 2012 Founders’ Day Gala Contributions by Fran Ussery, Jan Michel, Lisa Steele, and Linda Bambina

f you have been paying any attention at all to Slipstream, the Maverick Website, and just about any social event we have put on this year, you already know how excited we are about the upcoming Grand Finale of our 50th Anniversary celebration, traditionally known as Founders’ Day, this year sponsored by Autobahn Porsche. To make this year’s event extra memorable, we are pulling out the stops with two very special guests: Master of Ceremonies Mark Shevitz and Keynote Speaker David Hobbs.

walked the long causeway from the East to the West hotel for an ice cream celebration. Mark joined us on that midnight walk, and we learned that that day was also his birthday. A very beautiful and very TALL waitress sang Happy Birthday to Mark, making him blush, which is not an easy thing to do. Mark is quick, entertaining and unflappable. Well almost unflappable; ask him how he feels about BUGS. Really . . . you must ask him about the bugs.

500 and the 24 Hours of Daytona. He made twenty starts in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, finishing in 8th place at the first attempt in 1962, following with a pole position and a best finish of third (in 1969 and 1984) to his credit. In 1971 Hobbs won the US Formula 5000 L&M Continental Series championship driving for Carl Hogan out of St. Louis, Missouri, in a McLaren M10B-Chevrolet. He won five of the eight rounds that year at Laguna Seca, Seattle, Road America, Edmonton, and Lime Rock. Twelve years later, he claimed the 1983 Trans-Am Series championship as well. He also made two NASCAR Winston Cup starts in 1976, including leading two laps at the 1976 Daytona 500, and drove a race in the 1979 International Race of Champions. David Hobbs is one of the most popular figures in racing on both sides of the Atlantic. In addition to the driving skills that propelled him to success in an astonishing array of machinery, out of the car David is upbeat, personable and often hilarious.

Mark Shevitz We are so lucky to have Mark Shevitz as Emcee for Founders’ Day 2012. Those of you who have attended even one Porsche Parade know that Mark has been the Emcee for umpty-ump years. But we first really met Mark in 1987 when he was one of three Emcees for the DFW Parade. You may recall that, back then, the Hyatt DFW, our Parade headquarters at DFW Airport, was really two hotels - East and West. On the last night of the Parade, not wanting the fun to end, many of us 8

David Hobbs Our Keynote Speaker, David Hobbs, is a British former racing driver who now works as a commentator for Speed Channel. In 1969 Hobbs was included in the F.I.A. list of graded drivers, an elite group of 27 drivers who, by their achievements, were rated the best in the world. He was also inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2009. David Hobbs’ 30-year history in motor sports includes sports cars, touring cars, Indy cars, IMSA, Can-Am and Formula One. He has participated in the Indianapolis

And if these two gentlemen are not enough of a draw for you, the evening will also consist of our annual awards presentations including the Selcer Award, two special video showings, a White Hot Photo Lounge (Google it!), the raffle drawing for the winner of the Week for Two in Germany, and of course a world-class dinner. Please don’t forget to bring a Walmart gift card as a donation to our charity, the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House - every one counts. So make plans to be with us for our 50th - you will not want to miss this one!

By Linda Bambina, PR Chair and MRPCA 50th Anniversary Committee

ince 1962, Mavericks have been a movin’ and a groovin,’ a goin’ and a blowin,’ because we ARE movers and shakers! We are the envy of many other regions, I assure you.

Alan and I have attended/worked more than 25 Parades. Each and every time we go, I am asked about the unusually high energy level of our club. They ask, “How do you maintain the variety? The interest? The dedication from the volunteers? The loyalty of the region’s membership? Our club hardly does anything anymore except ____,” usually naming just one type of event.

The original photo, taken at Founders’ Day 1982, celebrating 20 years of Maverick Region. Present in this photo but missing from the 2012 version below is Leon Cowan, third from left

While there is no simple, uncomplicated answer to those questions, I can say after participating in hundreds of events over thirty years, it’s all intertwined with a variety of connections that people have with people, and that people have with these amazing cars. Sometimes

there are strong, years-long friendships involved, and sometimes it just centers around individual commitments to specific projects, events, a favorite race track, or even a Porsche mechanic! At the April 50th Anniversary “Family Portrait” event, all but five of 27 Past Presidents (since 1972) were there. Interestingly enough, more than half of these ladies and gents had served at least two terms. James Shoffit served four times, and John Hamilton will shortly be installed in his third term. But as important as this Top Job is to our Region, in reality, there are several Executive Board volunteer jobs that are much more demanding than the presidency. Currently, there are at least six Exec-Chairs who are “a bit fried” if not already “completely burnt” around the edges! It would be foolish of me to cite specifics or list needs here, but suffice it to say: the 30-someodd folks (and some of them are odd!) on page 4 of this “newsletter” would welcome help from the other 2,000+ members.

Maverick Presidents since 1972, l to r: Don Spaulding, Barry Gibbs, Charlie Davis, Joan Gibbs, John Halla, Milton Barley, Steve Kent, Bob Blakewell, Alan Bambina, Jerry Sutton, Bob Knight 10

You are needed! We need your energy, your ideas for our goin’ GROWIN’ group! As I move off of the 50th Anniversary Committee, I am looking for ideas in regards to inventing some Getaway Weekends no more than three hours from DFW! Wanna he’p? Join in. Make that connection.

eptember 15-16 found Maverick PCA members at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson for our Drivers’ Education event to begin our fall season. Thanks to our sponsor, Boardwalk Porsche, for the support all weekend.

Boardwalk Porsche’s sponsorship of the weekend was appreciated by all Rain washed the track on Friday, and it was still damp on Saturday morning. However, despite overcast skies, we were rain-free all day. No worries about sun glasses or sun screen, just drive, drive, drive . . . oh, and go to class, and check tire pressures, and clean windshields, and HAVE FUN. Our day began with coffee and donuts splendidly presented by Lisa Steele, our Hospitality Goddess. Thanks also to our Wake-Up sponsor, Falgout and Associates, who paid for that coffee and donuts. The student drivers’ meeting upstairs was presented by DE Chair Lori Mauthe and Registrar/Black Flagman Joel Nannis. The flags were explained, corner worker stations and passing zones identified on the track map, and the schedule for the day reviewed. Everyone was very eager to get going, for we 16

Peter Mauthe presented the drivers’ meeting, explaining the basics of on-the-track driving. A special guest joined him - Jack Farr, owner of Motorsport Ranch. Jack shared the story of his dream come true in building a motorsport park, as well as his track records. Jack was very proud to tell them that he holds the fastest time around the track in a Winnebago - a record that won’t ever be broken because he no longer allows them on the track!

As they pulled up to grid, we first made sure all the Littles had a ride, and then all of the Bigs found a passenger seat. The DE participants talked about their cars, their safety equipment and happily answered so many questions. And their pride showed through.

Advertiser of the Month: DeFeo & Co Enterprises By Linda Bambina, PR Chair, and Jerry DeFeo, Maverick Region TriviaMeister

erry DeFeo, past owner of a ‘61 Normal, ‘63 Super, ‘73 914, ‘78 930, and currently a 1967 911S Targa, understands both Cars and Construction. These two major interests, plus his Mechanical Engineering degree, and his need to make them pay the bills, has Jerry doing and enjoying his jobs far more than most of the working folks out there. DeFeo & Co Enterprises is really a foursome of interrelated businesses, one of which is Jerry DeFeo Designs, where he has some 40 years of Custom Home Design and Building experience. Then there is Remodeling Consultants, where he both designs and acts as the Construction Manager for Residential and Commercial Remodels for

some 25 years. Additionaly there is Automotive Construction Management, which he started about 15 years ago, where he designs, consults, builds, and remodels Automotive Dealerships, Repair Facilities, and Collision Centers. Finally, there is Import-Export Automotive, where he both imports and exports Car Parts (and other items) for business and personal use. His newest endeavor, which he started about five years ago, and in which he says Silver Hair is a real plus, is City Intervention. Dealing with cities which have confusing ordinances that are often in opposition to State or Federal Laws can be a nightmare to many business owners. Here’s the pitch: Let Jerry go down and fight the Bureaucrats while you stay and do what you do best - run your business!

When asked how he can be an expert in all those fields, he simply says that he started each new business a decade apart, and developed each to be efficient while maintaining the other businesses, since they are basically all interconnected. “It is kind of like asking Mario Andretti how can he be so successful in driving so many different types of cars, or asking a Pilot how he or she is proficient in so many types of single-engined, multi-engined, or jet-powered aircraft. The key: never forget what you have learned when you take on something new.” Check out his excellent work at the Shoffits’ home, or Dallas Karting Complex, or Town East Ford, or the new Collision Central in Greenville. Give him a call; he is very friendly, and literally gives his all for his clients!

You don’t have to pay a premium for premium Porsche service. Give us a chance to meet or beat your service estimate, and get a Master-Certified Porsche experience.

Cliff ’s Ramblings: NASA and Club Race and DE - Oh My! By Cliff Blackshear

Photo by Cliff Blackshear

eessee what a busy time of year. Went to Mid Ohio for a NASA (National Auto Sport Association) race after some testing for technician certification in Atlanta (“SWEET”, I’m still a Gold Meister), with good results at Mid Ohio; then off to a DE that my workshop sponsors at Motorsport Ranch. Cooked burgers and dogs Saturday night. Had a lot of fun. Then off to Hallett for a Club Race. It was amazing. Our efforts were well rewarded with great results. It is not easy to get those kinds of results. I was so proud of everyone and how hard they have all worked. Now I have to go to Atlanta for more training on the new generation Boxster and new generation top systems for the 991. A week from when I write this, the Maverick Region Club Race at MSR occurs. Bryan Henderson and Jim Buckley are talking with me about being a scrutineer for PCA. They seem to think I have the skill sets for such a position. I dunno. Plus it would mean being at races where possibly cars from my shop are racing. It would be difficult to not be in

Wait - this is fun?? the paddock with them. I’m already disjointed from my homies at the Maverick event every year working tech inspection. Nonetheless I have agreed to work as “scrut’s assistant” at this event to see how it all goes.

Reflecting on all that, I feel so grateful to be doing what I do. I am not changing the world, yet I gain a lot of satisfaction from my interactions with so many people. Life can be fun even when working. Been chasing software issues with new PIWIS Tester 2 system lately. Had a 2012 987 Twin Turbo Cabriolet in the shop today. It had been crashed hard and was sent over from Stuart’s shop to investigate an air bag light issue after all parts were replaced. The POSIP (Porsche airbag system) was logging faults for AWS (automatic weight sensing system). The AWS system had no faults in on board memory, yet POSIP system said it did. Weird… We ran a complete fault interrogation on all micro processors and suddenly AWS had a “Needs Calibration” fault. Calibrated system and POSIP no longer had a hard fault to check AWS system. Humm. Reported to Engineering. I’m working like a dog yet having fun. What are you doing today? Cheers

“Sunday” Drive: Grapes to Wine Tour/Rally By Brendan Eagan and Gareth Maurice

he Maverick PCA Sunday drives start out as a thought - a glimmer - with a destination in mind. John Harvey, the Maverick Region’s Tourmeister, back in May had already zeroed in on Grapes to Wine, a boutique wine store in Bartonville, for the September drive destination. “Where’s Bartonville?” I asked. Our laptops opened up. We picked a start point in Allen and then zoomed in/out of the maps looking for interesting roads, twists and turns, probable rest stops – and getting the Porsches OUT of the cities. For the last several drives we have had three groups, with each lead car having a GPS with the route downloaded. With a known route and a GPS to point the way, our goal has been to keep each group on track, reduce the chances of getting lost, and remove any anxiety or stress of ending up lost!

Next: the roads have to be driven. Tested. Scoped out. For this single Sunday drive (which was actually on Saturday, September 29) we test drove it four different times. John Harvey, Gareth Maurice and I all drove the route in May – thumbs up. In the three weeks prior to Sept 29 we re-drove the route three times.

And, sure enough on course. We drove this way and at our appointed gathering time that way and furiously tried to get the GPSs to reroute us, but they just at Saxby’s Coffee in Allen – steady didn’t want to cooperate. Finally our chosen Farm Road reappears, but with another “Road Closed” sign. This time we just laughed. Driving on, we came to a road where about 50 yards of it were gone – all gravel and dust. We crept at 20 mph wondering aloud how many Porsche drivers would curse us.

In spite of the damp and cramped quarters, everyone was excited. John Harvey gave us a brief prebrief. I told my group (the first 10 cars) that we’d have a rest stop about 45 minutes into the 106-mile drive. Gareth’s group (the second set of cars heading out) got a great laugh when he informed them that he’d NOT make a rest stop and everyone would be issued a baggie.

September Happy Hour: Cristina’s By Frank Briggs

Photos by Frank Briggs

ith weather that reminded us of mid August and roads that resembled an autocross layout, Mavericks navigated multiple construction zones to Christina’s in Southlake to enjoy margaritas, beer, wine, great food and lively conversations with fellow Porschephiles. There were 35 attendees, consisting of “us regulars,” as well as new members recently moving here from Mexico. A warm welcome to Marino, Laura, and Isabella Gonzalez-Luhrs, as well as to Kyriacos, Gillian, and Niko Panaydes, all attending their first Maverick event. Isabella looked very official

John and Chris Hamilton We graced the parking lot with a nice array of Stuttgart’s best, ranging from early air-cooled 911s to more recent GT3s with some of everything in between.
