Sprockets:
Porsche Subscription Service
By David Robertson, Region President
A
surprisingly small amount of the buzz going around PCA Parade back in July was something that came up in a conversation that some of us had with Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Porsche North America, where he was talking about the future of Porsche, and the concept of a monthly subscription service that was already being tested in Atlanta. I thought this concept was amazing, and was surprised that this wasn’t the biggest news. We weren’t told that it was any kind of secret, so you may have heard me talking about it over the last few months. I really believe this idea of paying a monthly fee for the use of a Porsche that I keep for a period of time, use for whatever I’m in the mood for, then hand off to someone else, is groundbreaking stuff for a luxury brand like Porsche. Now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, residents of Atlanta can take advantage of this program, called Porsche Passport, and if successful, we will see it in other cities. The more I have thought about this program since that meeting with Klaus in July, the more I think it is a great idea. The next generations of Porsche owners, “Late Millennials” and especially “Generation Xers,” are not as keen on commitment and ownership compared to prior generations, and this will be a great way for them to experience the brand. This type of program has been around since the iPhone was invented, but rolling it out for a brand like Porsche is new territory. Throughout my career I have seen the technology development curve in my world go from around five years to a matter of months. What that means for us today is that if you are not constantly innovating and staying on or ahead of the curve, you are out of business, period, unless you are the government of course. As always, I look forward to discussing all of this with you in person at one of our events very soon. All of this technology and innovation we are seeing will undoubtedly change the way we look at our favorite cars. At an event I attended a while back, where some of the Porsche executives were talking about these items, I heard simultaneous boos and cheers from the audience. One thing I that I can tell you definitively is that no matter what we see in the future, there are a lot of amazing members in this club that will make sure the Porsches that we have grown up with will always be on the road to be driven and admired. In this issue of Slipstream you will find a list of members that are on the ballot for our 2018 officer positions. The actual voting ballot is on page 7, or can be downloaded for printing via the QR code. I encourage 2 November
SAUL FRAIRE, Chef-Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 817-329-6995 you to vote. Better yet -- you should attend our Founders Day celebration on December 2 and cast your ballot in person! MAV OF THE MONTH: Mark Pitarresi Mark is our PCA Tours Co-Chair and he has done an outstanding job of organizing great drives for our members that always end at really fun destinations.

Maverick Region 55th Anniversary By Jim Hirsch
Anniversary graphics by Kurt Scaggs
W
ell, we are just about at the exact date from 55 years ago that our Maverick Region’s formal application to the Porsche Club of America to become a recognized club was signed, sealed, and delivered. I’ve included a copy of the actual application letter to the right for you to view. And, we were notified about 8 weeks later that our charter was approved and we could conduct business as a PCA Region to the benefit of our members. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series of columns reflecting on the 55 years of our Maverick Region. The club has thousands of Porsche enthusiasts over those years who have participated in a plethora of events: social, charitable, driving, and competitive, all to further the PCA adage of “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people”. Further, since our Region is known for Porsche owners who drive their fine examples of German engineering, our Region motto of “Driving Friendships” is even more apropos. If you’re interested in delving deeper into the history of the club, please take a look at http://mav. pca.org/about/mrpca_history.asp, and click to read more details. Our entire collection of club newsletters, beginning with Volume 1, Issue 1, in September 1963, will be available for your viewing soon as part of a partnership with the University of North Texas to scan our entire library of issues. Finally, we hope that each of you will consider participating in all or at least part of our interesting collection of activities to celebrate Founders Day on December 2. You’ll find more information throughout this issue and also online. 6 November
You can even purchase club merchandise featuring our 55th Anniversary logo as designed by Kurt Scaggs. The online store for this merchandise is at https://www.zazzle.com/mavs_55

Mavs & Mochas:
Texas Harley-Davidson
By Rob Adams, Porsche 968 Featured Model Host
Photos by Jim Hirsch
Y
ou have about as much chance of being hit by a stray meteor as you do seeing two Porsche 968s in the same day, yet the October Mavs & Mochas event brought 11 of these rare models together as the feature car of the event. For those who are unfamiliar with the Porsche 968, these cars were produced from 1992 to 1995 and during the production run, only four thousand or so were brought into the US. These four thousand were split almost half and half between coupes and cabriolets (see the Oct issue of Slipstream for more information).
Rick Dyers’ Grand Prix White Porsche 968 Coupe
Debi Gibson and Bill Kruder, Mavs & Mochas Co-Chairs, shown with the 968 of Rob Adams, host of the featured cars
The event featured at least one car representing each model year with about an equal split of cabs and coupes. And what’s more, we had two original owners in the mix: Rick Whitman (1992 Cab) and Alan Lage (1993 Coupe) who have owned their cars since new and have demonstrated the durability of the 968. Pam Carson was in attendance with her daily driver (1994 Coupe). Jerry Fradenburg was there sporting a gorgeous Guards Red 1992 Coupe. Randall Johnson (1993 Coupe) and Ed Russo (1994 Cab) brought two examples in Midnight Blue while Rob Adams (1994 Coupe) and the Ferraros (1994 Cab) provided examples of Iris Blue Metallic. Corky Helstrom drove his beautiAlan Bambina’s 1962 ful low-miles Guards Red Porsche 356 at the Texas 1995 Cab and was parked Harley-Davidson venue 10 November
next to Rick Dyers’ Grand Prix White (showroom condition) 1995 Coupe. But perhaps the most unusual color was the Goetz’ Aventurine Green 1994 Coupe. What was most remarkable about this recently formed Porsche 968 community were the new friendships that were formed as all attendees, (some 70 or so cars) learned about the 968. Even the 968 owners (myself included) learned something new about their cars. This event highlights the great things about being a Porsche owner, a Maverick and a Mavs & Mochas attendee…. Driving Friendships. Amazing stuff.
Author’s note: My warmest thank you for all who attended and especially for all the 968 owners who took time to prepare their cars and share them with everyone. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. And thank you to Texas Harley-Davidson for their gracious hospitality….what an amazing venue this is. Finally, thank you Mavs & Mochas for creating, organizing and carrying out these monthly events that allow a new type of participation in the Porsche Life.

Kruder’s Cars & Conversations By Bill Kruder
M
y first meeting with one of our two interviewees was about seven years ago -- you guessed it -over coffee at a gathering in Frisco. We chatted a bit over the months, and before long he invited me and a friend to come over and see his garage and memorabilia. We were stunned. Unbeknownst to us, we were with no less than a local legend. Well, as time went on, Tom Martin told me I had to meet the guy who was responsible for this legend. More months passed until the three of us were attending the same car show recently; we struck up a conversation, and Tom was right. So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you . . . M.L. Speer, member since 2011, Owner 2010 GT3 Jack Griffin, member since 1987, Owner 1955 356 Continental and a few more Bill Kruder: I’m not even sure where to begin with you two. How about we start with “what was your first Porsche?” M.L. Speer: Let’s see, that was some time ago, but it was a 1970 Irish Green 914. I bought it from Forest Lane Porsche. Jack Griffin: That’s an easy one as I still have it: it’s the 1970 Adriatic Blue 914-6 that I bought in 1976. MLS: Might I just add that there was no comparison to our two cars (laughing) the 1.7 914 was no match. Heck I was lucky to be going 60 mph in it. BK: So I know you two aren’t from Dallas. MLS: No, I grew up in the small town of Crowell, west of Wichita Falls. I think we had about 600 people and a blinking light in the middle of town. 12 November
Photos courtesy of the Author
JG: Likewise, I grew up in a small town in south Texas called Harlingen. BK: How did you two finally meet? MLS: I am a CPA, and in 1978 my partner and I wanted to build an office building. What a small world it is; Jack and I connected through a mutual friend. JG: Yes, our mutual friend had gone to Baylor with me, and mentioned that M.L. wanted to do an office building development. I was developing office buildings with Trammell Crow at that time, and arranged for us to meet. BK: So it had nothing to do with cars or racing? MLS: That’s correct. I was doing some SCCA racing but it was not discussed in our meeting. JG: Not exactly sure how that ended, but it was another five to six years before our paths crossed again. BK: What brought you two together? MLS: Again, kind of a small world. Steve Louden (of Louden Motorcars) and I knew each other through SCCA and we raced together. Steve would have an annual party and he would invite friends and customers over. JG: That’s right. Steve would service my car and said “I’m having a party -- come on over.” MLS: So Jack and I started up a conversation that night; mind you, this was about 1983. I was about to race the 24 Hours of Daytona. We started talking about racing and
M.L. Speer and Jack Griffin
things, and I invited Jack to join us at the track. BK: Jack, had you raced before, or wanted to? JG: No, I had never raced! I had never even been to a race track before (laughing). Heck, I took the 914 to what would be called a DE today at a go-kart track called Oak Hill in Henderson. I did about three laps, no idea what I was doing, and called it quits. BK: How was it visiting the Daytona track? What happened? MLS: Well it rained like it was never going to stop. Cars were going everywhere! Hurley Haywood was there in a 935, and when he pitted he came in on three wheels with about a quarter of his car missing. JG: Despite the rain, I was just excited to be there, taking it all in. As I recall, in the next pit over was A.J. Foyt! I mean, you look back and think “how cool is that?” BK: So M.L., what were you driving? MLS: We were racing a 935. I think it had about 800 hp and of course weighed nothing, so it was quick. As I recall, despite the rain, we finished fourth overall. JG: It was some race! After the finish, M.L. asked me what I thought and if I would want to drive. It looked like a lot of fun so I thought, why not try it? BK: And? MLS: I told him the next race is in about six weeks at Sebring, and if he wanted to drive, we had a race car that he could drive. However, he needed a racing license. JG: So, I head out to a driving school, of course! I think they had Datsun 280Zs, with a bunch of other guys in my class. The guys are all talking, going around the table, about how they got this school experience for a gift and whatnot. They get to me and I say, “Well, I’m
preparing to race at Sebring.” They thought I was kidding (laughing). BK: How did things go at Sebring? MLS: We put Jack and two other guys in a yellow 914-6 that was the previous year’s GTU championship car. I thought, heck, he drives on LBJ, certainly he can drive this (chuckling). JG: Two of the three of us on our team had never raced! We were supposed to each take three practice laps the day before the race. Well, during practice, the first two guys go out for their practice laps, and it’s pouring rain. One of them over-revved and ruined the engine before I was able to get any practice in. Over the next twelve hours, another engine is retrieved from Atlanta and installed in the car, finishing 45 minutes before the green flag drops. We start last on the grid because we did not qualify with our one experienced driver at the wheel. At the time that he was supposed to pit and I was to
take over as the second driver, we learned the car was out of gas on the course. The crew and I, armed with a can of gas, then go searching for the car. Upon locating the car, the crew gave me refueling instructions from behind the spectator fence. Along with instructions from the crew, I also received a rash of insulting remarks from the spectators (Spring Break at Sebring) regarding my refueling ability. I finally get the engine started and after several unsuccessful attempts to join the track traffic, I finally get around to the pits for refueling. I then join the fray, however, having to hunt my way around the track at less than stellar speeds. After 15 laps and trying to blend with the faster traffic, I crashed into a concrete wall doing substantial damage to the car and the wall. MLS: (Laughing) I go driving by in the 935 and I look over and I see not only Jack, but also the car on the wall.
BK: And you still thought this was a good idea to be racing? JG: Of course! I hadn’t really even driven yet. So, a few weeks later, I think it was April, we go out to Riverside and race in the LA Times Grand Prix in a Mazda RX7. Again, the first driver starts, the Sebring third driver, spins out, and gets stuck in the infield and again I never get to drive. MLS: So, this great idea I had of Jack racing is not playing out so well. He goes out twice and never really gets to drive. Well, the next race was back to Daytona for the Paul Revere 250, and we get Jack in a Porsche 911 Carrera RSR. JG: Yes! Finally, I get to race and we finished the race and I bought the car. I had a future! And a race future they had! Stay tuned next month for the “the rest of the story.”

Monthly Social: By Tom Martin
Porsche Heritage Birthday Party
Photos and captions by Stephanie Ho
I
n the beginning I looked around and, not finding the automobile of my dreams, decided to build it myself. – Ferdinand Porsche It has always been a philosophy of our company that function and beauty are inseparable. – Ferry Porsche Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Doo. – Manfred Mann The September Monthly Social was held at Uncle Buck’s Brewery & Steakhouse in the Bass Pro complex in Grapevine. Like last year, host Stephanie Ho incorporated birthday celebrations of the Porsche company founder and his family successor with the Monthly Social. Both Ferdinand Porsche and his son Ferry were born in the month of September, so what better reason could one need to gather for some camaraderie and adult libations? No answer required; it’s a rhetorical question. Uncle Buck’s always reserves its banquet room and staff for Mavericks, as Socials tend to attract large crowds. Lots of shiny happy people mingled, while imbibing house craft brews, before Stephanie unveiled the coup de grâce: an exquisite Porsche themed birthday cake, complete with an expertly crafted Porsche crest on top. John & Chris Hamilton arrived with 50 Porsche clear rain jackets that were offered to the first 50 Mavericks who donated $25 Walmart gift cards for the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House, a charity that the club has supported for many years. Over $600 was collected for the cause. At the end of the event, Stephanie announced her resignation as Monthly Social Chair after serving in the position for the past 4 years. She expressed her great pleasure getting to know so many wonderful Mavericks throughout the years.
Joining us were new members Jason Chen, his wife Yan Su, and their stunning Porsche!

Founders Day Celebration: By Tracy Robertson and Debi Gibson, Event Co-Chairs
W
hat a difference a year makes - we’ve been Motoring Mavs for 55 Years now! Time goes by, we get older, the cars get cooler and they certainly get faster, but then there is something to be said for those old classics too. In fact, Alan Bambina plans to bring his 1962 Porsche 356 out to commemorate our founding year. So it’s time to celebrate both old and new at our annual Founders Day Celebration. This promises to a big one! We celebrate 55 years as a club here in the DFW area. The Mavs have taken this to a whole new level, offering 1 day, 3 events, and celebrating 2600 members. Saturday, December 2nd, the Mavs will kick-off the Founders Day Celebration at 8:30 am with Mavs & Mochas at Highland Park Village. This is possibly the prettiest venue in Dallas, especially during the holidays, and if you haven’t joined us here before it’s a must experience! New this year is our first ever “Top Ten People’s Choice Car Show”. Winners will be announced at our evening event and it’s sure to be great fun! Starbucks will be ready to serve coffee, we’re anticipating a slight chill in the air, and perhaps a Christmas tree or two to get us all in the mood for our day of celebration! Then at 11 am, we meet in Plano for the Mavs Toy Parade. Yes, we will be driving with the help of Plano PD, starting in the west and heading east across town to deliver toys and other needed gifts for Plano Christmas Cops. Christmas Cops is a program operated by Plano Police employees to assist Plano families in need during the Christmas Season. So motor your cool car full of new and unwrapped toys, baby supplies, and new coats for all ages, but especially teens. After the parade you might want 18 November

to visit at your leisure Plano’s very cool downtown with several great coffee and lunch spots. So what’s next you ask? Well, Autobahn has once again provided significant sponsorship to ensure a great night is had by all, and Texas Harley-Davidson in Bedford, TX has provided an extremely cool venue! It is the largest Harley-Davidson dealership in Texas, boasting 72,000 sq. feet and offers both indoor and outdoor space so we mingle with our friends and cars. What do Porsches and Harleys have in common? Well we didn’t know either until visiting their dealership. They were both aircooled rides, at least until Porsche designed their “V-rod” water-cooled engine. They also both boast a collection of classic and new rides, and with great music, photo props, and our friends; it will prove to be a most memorable night as we celebrate 55 years as a PCA Region! We will have great food, “adult” beverages, gourmet popcorn, and last, but not least, Steel City Pops. As the evening progresses, we will have the election of our officers, several certificates and awards including the winners of the People’s Choice Car Show, and our most prestigious recognition, the 2017 Selcer Award will be announced. Oh, and did we mention a contest that evening? Yes, we will have our first “Porsche of the Year” photo contest based on the 12 monthly “Porsche of the Month” photo winners. Mavs will vote on their favorite of the 12 photo winners and the overall winner wins a new shot of their prized Porsche on the cover of an upcoming Slipstream. Our charity at both Mavs & Mochas and the Founders Day Celebration that evening will be the Hope House. As our Mavs know, this is a non-profit women’s recovery and transition center that has come to
depend on us for assistance. We will be collecting both cash contributions as well as Walmart gift cards to provide for the recovery of these women needing rescue and hope! Our Silent Auction will return too, with new and exciting items to be awarded to the highest bidder with all proceeds going to this great charity. We encourage you to consider a tax-deductible donation to the Hope House through one or more of the several opportunities we will provide throughout the day. We hope you’ve noticed the cool 55th Anniversary logo designed by Kurt Scaggs. If you’ve missed that somehow, flip back to the Slipstream cover. Wouldn’t that make a very cool poster for your garage or media room? Yes, to ensure this year’s event is over the top and to thank you for being a part of our annual Founders Day Celebration, each Mav attending our evening event at Texas Harley-Davidson will take home their very own poster and decal to remember our great time Driving Friendships! Keep your eye out for a club email providing registration details for our 1 day, 3 events, 2600 members celebration, coming soon!

Lube for Thought:
Lubrication, Part 2
By Mike Mahoney, Region Concours Chair

A
In my previous article I discussed engine oil, the functions it performs in your car, additive chemistry, the factors affecting its performance, and the importance of regular oil changes. This article is about the physical characteristics of a finished lubricant or lubricating oil. Nearly all of the lubricating oil in the world is derived from refined crude oil. These lubricating oils are considered “mineral oils.” Synthetic lubricants have become increasingly important and will be discussed later. Lubricating oils are made from the more viscous cut of the crude oil that remains after the distillation process has removed the lighter ends or gas portions, which brings us to the single most important factor in selecting and applying a lubricant: viscosity. Viscosity is defined as a fluid’s internal resistance to flow. In other words, it describes the “thickness” of a fluid. An easy example would be honey versus water. At ambient temperature, or room temperature, honey flows much slower than water because honey has a higher viscosity than water. Apply some heat to the honey and it flows more like water because the heat decreases
20 November
the honey’s viscosity. Put honey in the refrigerator, then try to pour it. The colder temperature increases the honey’s viscosity. Same thing applies to lubricating oil. And because of the effect temperature has on viscosity, it makes viscosity selection the single most important factor in choosing a lubricant. What you’re looking for in lubrication is the thinnest possible fluid that prevents metal-to-metal contact. This means that thicker is not necessarily better. A lubricant that is too viscous (thick) may be preventing metal-to-metal contact, but it is also creating additional friction within itself. So now the metal surfaces have to plow through thick oil rather than sliding across the surface. This happens often because of the demands placed on the lubricant in hot and cold temperatures, which is the reason multi-viscosity lubricants were invented.
Multi-viscosity lubricants have solved many lubricant application issues, and we see a lot of multi-viscosity lubricants like 5W30, 0W40, 20W50, 75W90, etc., in the automotive industry. There are some very distinct advantages to a multi-viscosity lubricant. The primary benefit is a much improved viscosity index, or VI. So you can have low viscosity oil at cold temperatures and a higher viscosity at operating temperature. The majority of wear in an engine occurs at start up when the oil is cold and at its most viscous point so it doesn’t flow. A multi-viscosity lubricant eliminates that by providing protection at both start up and operating temperatures. For example, a 5W30 engine oil acts like a 5W when it’s cold and a 30 at operating temperature. It does this through an additive class called viscosity index improvers, or simply VI improvers. VI improvers are polymers that contract at cold temperatures and elongate at high temperatures. They improve the viscosity index of a lubricant by reducing the effect temperature has on its performance. A lubricant with a high viscosity index is affected less by temperature than a lubricant with a low VI. That is how you achieve multi-viscosity performance from a single lubricant. VI improvers enable lubricants to maintain their appropriate viscosity at all times. Next time we will discuss synthetic lubricants and gear oils.

Off-Road Adventures: By Carey Spreen
O
n Saturday, Oct. 7, about fourteen Mavericks in eight vehicles went where few Porsches have gone before: an off-highway vehicle (OHV) park. What -- Porsches going off-road? Didn’t see that coming? Perhaps a little background is in order. Back in February of this year, the Zone 5 Presidents’ Meeting took place in Grapevine. One bit of information that came from that meeting was that about 2/3 of Porsches sold in 2016 were SUVs – Cayennes and Macans – yet PCA has yet to address the owners of those vehicles with events that might appeal to them. Not long after that meeting, the same topic came up at a Maverick Region board meeting: how do we get our SUV-driving members more involved? They participate in our tours and rallies, and at the occasional autocross, but not in the numbers that might be expected, based on the percentage of Porsche SUVs out there. So Jeff Sebert and I came up with the idea that maybe we could develop an event intended primarily for SUVs. And what

Inaugural Event at Northwest OHV Park

better venue for four-wheel-drive SUVs than an off-road event? Jeff and I got to work. Jeff found an OHV park in Bridgeport that looked like a good candidate. Last May, Sue and I, along with Wendy and James Shoffit, did an exploratory drive out to the park to check it out, assisted by Jeff and his father Don. Sue and I took our 2008 Cayenne, while the Shoffits took their new Macan Turbo. What we found was a combination of dirt roads, mud puddles (large and small), and rocky trails, some passable and some seemingly impenetrable. After getting over some initial intimidation, we decided at that point that an off-road event was possible, realizing that we would have to keep it as safe as possible yet with an element of fun. After two more visits to the park over the summer, we were ready, or at least as ready as we would ever be. We set the date for October 7, which turned out to be a gorgeous day, with temperatures in the mid80s and no rain in sight. Eight vehicles turned out: Four Cayennes of various description and vintage, a Macan S, an Audi Q5, a Mercedes G55, and a Nissan Xterra ProX 4. In the morning, we started out easy, taking a couple of short loops in a “dry lake” area of the park, which wasn’t all that dry after some rain earlier in the week. It gave our participants a chance to see and feel how their AWD vehicles handle loose and slippery conditions with confidence. After that we proceeded to a couple of relatively steep hills, where we wanted our drivers to experience the descent control feature that all Cayennes and Macans come with. The other brands didn’t have this feature, but the Porsche drivers felt their SUVs take

over the braking chores as soon as they started heading downhill. We then convened at a covered pavilion overlooking the east side of the park, where we enjoyed a lunch of sandwiches and chips, coordinated and delivered by Jeff. While there we talked with other folks at the park, including a group driving three Polaris RZR off-road side-by-side vehicles that looked like a lot of fun. After lunch, a few participants had to leave, which left us with five vehicles. As it turned out, the afternoon was the intense part: a rocky loop that took about 45 minutes to complete at speeds just above a crawl, with spotters to make sure that everyone managed to find a way through without bottoming out. Special thanks to Justin Nevitt, a service writer at Park Place Porsche who has years of off-road experience, for volunteering to spot for our participants, along with Jeff. We finished up the day watching some truly amazing examples of rock climbing by some local Jeep drivers before airing up our tires and heading home. Thanks to all who came out to see how capable their German SUVs can be! 25

PCA Tours:
MotorSport Ranch
By Mark Pitarresi, PCA Tours Co-Chair
I
t was the morning of Sunday, September 24, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 80 degrees. First to arrive was a Silver 997 Carrera that had muffler bypass pipes. As I was setting up the table I heard the crackles and pops as he pulled in the parking lot. I smiled without even looking, and it set the tone for the tour. The tour was 71 miles long and ventured through the towns of Duncanville, Cedar Hill, Mansfield, Lillian, Joshua, Godley, DeCordova, and Cresson. Once in the country, we got a chance to do some spirited driving, and everyone got to experience some very tight twisty roads that were completely covered by large trees. Our group leaders nicknamed this area the “Enchanted Forest” and for good reason. The first group arrived at MotorSport Ranch at 11:00 am. I was part of the first group, so this was my chance to check out a black-on-black 1972 911 E Targa that arrived in the second group. “Wait till you see the engine,” the owner said as I was drooling over his car. The ‘72 Targa was obviously part of the “Black Porsche Swirl Free Paint Movement.” As the owner went to open his engine lid, I was distracted by the operations of the event and was directed
to the Clubhouse. “I’ll be back,” I said as I started my way to the Clubhouse. Upon my return, I was happy to see the lid was open and the Targa’s engine was on full display. As people dissipated I got a good look before Chris started the Drivers’ Meeting for the parade laps. If you have never had the chance to do a DE event with our Maverick Region, then I have to say you are missing out. Chris Tabor’s program is second to none. His drivers’ meeting started off by commending our tour program organization skills. While we were doing the tour event, he was busy coordinating both the dynamic environment of the DE, plus our parade laps. All of this was done without disrupting his event. I participated in the parade laps as well, and was able to get back up to speed on my line from the last DE that I attended in April. Chris’s team dedicated over an hour to our parade laps for the tour. We had 103 people on the tour and 107 people for the parade laps! A total of 62 cars participated in the tour and 65 participated in the parade laps! We were able to donate $1625.00 to our club’s preferred charity! None of this would have been possible without our volunteers: Tom and Becky Gomer, Tom Martin, Karl Poulson, and Mitch Mitchell.

Five Speed Chatter: By Ash Seidl-Staley
I
News and More News
apologize for not providing a submission last month, especially since these new, fullcolor Slipstreams look so sweet now! I’m sure you will agree: our Porsches look great in color! Just in case anyone was worried, I’m fine. I have drastically changed my professional life, for the better, but I really just needed the extra time to acclimate. Thankfully, we have a wonderful pool of Mavericks that contribute, keeping us all updated regarding social events and club proceedings. They also give us a glimpse into their personal lives and the lives of their Porsches; this my dear friends, is one of my favorite aspects of this newsletter! To get to the nitty-gritty of this article though, I would like to discuss two things: first, I want to celebrate the most recent announcement from the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and second, I want to extend a special invitation to all Mavs! So, let’s dive right in, shall we? I’m sure you are aware that Porsche and the Nürburgring have a special relationship. Porsche loves to test the limits of their race cars and production vehicles on the prestigious and challenging track, and the track likes to test the limits of a Porsche’s drive train, and suspension, as well as the nerves of the drivers and onlookers. Like many Porsche endeavors excellence is obviously key. And like always, Porsche doesn’t disappoint. If you keep up with Porsche-related news, you might have seen the big news regarding the 2018 911 GT2 RS. If not, then get ready to celebrate. Not only has the new GT2 RS just set the record for road approved sports cars, but is now, officially, the fastest 911 ever produced!! Driven by Lars Kern, and clocking in a time of 6 minutes 47.25 seconds, the GT2 RS smoked its target time by over 17 seconds. To give you a little more perspective, the GT2 beat the 918 Spyder’s latest time by 10 seconds, and blew past the Porsche 911 GT3 time by 25 seconds. The GT2 was tricked out with the Weissach Package, had the audio and communication system delete, and ran on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Starting at just over $290,000, the GT2 obviously delivers the most bang for your buck. Now for the invitation. I mentioned earlier that I recently made a career change. I am currently the Assistant General Manager for Even Stevens Sandwiches, a sandwich shop located in Richardson. Now before you think “big whoop,” or “buy an ad,” I just ask that you hear me out. Even Stevens Sandwiches is a craft casual sandwich shop with a cause. What that means is that we provide craft, and signature style sandwiches in a casual, and inclusive atmosphere. It also means that for every sandwich that we sell, we donate a sandwich to a local
non-profit organization. Our Richardson location, the first of many to come in the DFW area mind you, works specifically with Minnie’s Food Pantry, Jewish Family Service, The Network of Community Ministries, and Mosaic Family Services. Each guest that comes in the store not only gets to eat a yummy sandwich; they also get to help feed the members of their community that battle food insecurity. To be completely honest, I took this position not just because of the challenge it poses to me personally, but because Even Stevens is a company that adheres to our club’s motto: “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people,” albeit in a different way. Every person in the company, from the top down, believes in the cause, believes in standing at the vanguard in the battle against hunger, and believes in helping build the community they are lucky to serve. All of us have and believe in the power of the heart, and are ready and willing to make a positive difference on our planet. I invite you all to come try a sandwich at the shop. Who knows, there might even be a Maverick Social or a Maverick Lunch planned in the near future. As always stay safe, and wrench on Mavs!

Around the Bend... By Jim Hirsch, Managing Editor
I
f it seems like this issue contains a lot of hype around our Maverick Region’s 55th Anniversary Founders Day Celebration I’m glad you noticed! The Porsche Club of America had fewer than 2,000 total members when our Charter was approved in December of 1962. Through the past 55 years, our Region itself has grown to over 2,600 members - larger than the entire national organization at our beginning. So, yes, 55 years as a PCA Region is definitely worth recognizing and celebrating as an important milestone. In fact, many of you probably realize our 55th year saw many changes occur in our club. One major change you notice each month now when you receive Slipstream is that it is printed in full-color. Perhaps less noticeable, but even more important, is the fact that we have had seven members step up into club event chair and co-chair roles during this year. Our most recent volunteer is Michael Baynton, serving as our Tech Sessions Chair. Our club has had three tech sessions since August and Michael already has two on the schedule for January and March in 2018. If you participate
36 November
in our club activities, I’m sure you’ve noticed a renewed sense of enthusiasm and a desire to provide you with an enjoyable experience each time you attend an event. You possibly remember (or have even uttered) the quote, “Take this road. I just know that it leads someplace good.” I hope you’ll “take this road” and choose to participate in one, or all, of multiple events being offered to celebrate our 55th Anniversary as part of this year’s day-long Founders Day Celebration. I can guarantee that each event “leads to someplace good” - and will be enjoyable. Be sure to read the preview of the celebration events on page 18 of this issue. Speaking of events, it’s also important to keep in mind that our Zone 5, in addition to PCA National, offer a wide range of opportunities that you may find enjoyable as a Porsche owner. Two that come to mind are the PCA Palooza in Eureka Springs on November 9-11 and the recently announced Rennsport Reunion VI that will take place Sept 27-30, 2018, at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway. These are just two examples of wildly different and unique gatherings that appeal to a diverse Porscheloving audience. Remember to Carpe Viam!
