SPROCKETS: A Little Rain Won’t Hurt your Porsche By David Robertson, Region President

It doesn’t seem like it has stopped raining in the last couple of months. This has been challenging for all types of outdoor activities including the driving events hosted by our club. DE, Tours, and Mavs & Mochas have continued to press on, rain or shine. I have been impressed (if not amazed) by the turnout for these events in the rain. This really points to the passion our members have for driving and coming together. As I have mentioned previously, Porsches are meant to drive in all conditions! For those of us who use our Porsches as daily drivers, we have no choice but to brave the elements and drive in varying weather conditions to get to work or other obligations that transportation requires. Often, if I don’t stop by the grocery store on my way home from the office in my 911, it’s going to be the pickles and ketchup from July 4th for dinner. I know that I should have these things planned out but many times when I look out the window at 6 pm and the rain is pounding down it dawns on me that I have a few errands I have to run before I can get the car into my dry garage. As I write this page it looks to be another very rainy day. The forecast is ugly, and everything is soaked from previous rain. I will be getting in my 911 within the hour and heading out perhaps a little more cautiously than usual to a car show where I know that even in the rain I am going to have a great time with my fellow Maverick members!

MAVS OF THE MONTH: TJ Kroele, Chris Sorrells, Mark Schnoerr We are very lucky in our club to have so many talented individuals with such a diverse set of backgrounds and experience that are always more than gracious with their time and expertise wherever it can add value to one of our programs. TJ, Mark, and Chris have teamed up and spent countless hours over the past few months to develop a proposal to make sure that the DE program remains competitive with other groups’ DE events and relevant for the future. Even though our club is a non-profit organization, 2 November

we still have to think like any other business to keep up with the shifting demographic environment and competition from other driving programs in the area. Many of these challenges are new and we cannot waste any time getting in front of them. These three individuals have combined expertise in building successful businesses, a lifetime of racing, DE Instruction and many, many years of participating in, and running driving programs both in the Maverick region and other car clubs. Chris, Mark and TJ, we appreciate all of the time and effort that you have put into ensuring the continued success of the Maverick Region DE program!

Tradition is a commitment. Without our tradition and without our core values, we would not be where we are today. We plan to uphold the standard of technologitechnical excellence set by Ferry Porsche well into the future. Intelligent dynamic mobility has a great future ahead of it. And we have the solid technologi cal expertise, creative employees and unique team spirit to be involved. We have what it takes to ensure that the Porsche brand continues to fascinate – even in another 70 years. The first vehicle to bear the Porsche name was registered on June 8, 1948: It was the 356 “No.1” Roadster. This is the day on which the Porsche brand was born. The Type 356 turned Ferry Porsche’s dream of a sports car into a reality. “His vision at that time embodied all of the values that still define the Reprebrand to this day”, said Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, at yesterday’s New Year Reception at the Porsche Museum. Repre sentatives from the state of Baden-Württemberg as well as from the city of Stuttgart and the worlds of politics, economics and society, joined Porsche to celebrate the beginning of its anniversary year with the slogan “70 years of the Porsche sports car.

3 EVENTS, 1 DAY, 2800 MEMBERS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1ST 2018 6 November

Founders Day: Maverick Region’s Anniversary Party By Debi Kruder It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly a year since we celebrated our 55th Anniversary at our Founders Day event last December. I still remember perfect weather, toys, the smell of barbeque, laughter and conversation, and many fond memories from the evening. This year promises to be no different.

Please mark your calendar and register today as we celebrate Porsche’s 70th Anniversary at our Founders Day Event on Saturday, December 1. It’s one day, three events, and over 2800 members! The morning will kick off with our monthly Mavs & Mochas bright and early at Nordstrom’s North Park, where we will also host the second annual Top Ten People’s Choice Car Show. Nordstrom continues to be a gracious host to our members, generously opening their department store doors early to allow us to sneak through for coffee and shopping. And what better time of year than December? So, rain or shine, bring your Porsche and your pocket book to start that Christmas shopping! Speaking of shopping: don’t forget to load up your Porsche too with holiday goodies for children in need, as we will be departing Nordstrom for our second annual Mavs Toy Parade at 10:30 am. As last year, the Maverick PCA is partnering with the Plano Police Department in support of Plano Christmas Cops. This was a highlight of Founders Day last year for me, personally driving our 356 with windows full of stuffed pups, board games, and baby dolls, with Christmas tree on top to add to the merriment! So motor your car full of new and unwrapped toys, baby supplies, and new coats for all ages, but especially teens. Once your car is unloaded and a quick nap is taken, it’s time for the Founders Day grand finale with dinner, drinks, and more fun than you can shake a gearshift

at! Many of your favorite things about last year will be back, along with some wonderful additions. First, an exciting new venue: Grapevine Porsche. This new dealership boasts a two-story venue with the latest design and features including a classic car shop. For those of you in attendance at the Grapevine Porsche grand opening in September, I think you will agree that this venue will not disappoint. Many thanks for opening their doors to us, as well as their financial support to subsidize some of the cost for our members. New this year too is our very first online silent auction for our charity: the HuffakerHughes Hope House. Yes, you read that right -- the items photos, descriptions, bidding, and payment will all take place online! Just visit the website, https://www.32auctions.com/MPCAHopeHouse and start bidding now! Our Founders Day Silent Auction is our largest financial contributor to our Mav PCA charity. Last year, with the contributions of our sponsors and members, our Silent Auction raised nearly $10,000, and this year we are challenging our Mavs to increase these contributions to achieve our 2018 Founders Day goal to support the Hope House in the amount of $12,000. Hope exists to eliminate domestic violence through intervention, offering shelter, counseling, support, and education to promote the healing of abusive relationships. Maverick Region is proud to partner with this great cause. Back by popular demand to our Founders Day evening are two favorites: Pecan Lodge and Steel City Pops! If the name Pecan Lodge makes your mouth water, you’ll be happy to know that, in addition to their award winning pulled pork and smoked chicken, we’ve added their smoked brisket to the menu this year too! Mix in 200 or so of your favorite Porsche people, our Maverick Photo of the Year Contest, our James Shoffit Maverick of the Year Award, a little live music from a duo by the name of Fanci (with a mixed bongo flair) and you are sure to have a great night! Registration is now available online at mav.pca.org and on social media. Early registrants receive a discounted rate so don’t hesitate. It’s sure to be one of your December highlights in 2018! 7

Maverick Tech Session Series: Growler Labs Recap By Michael Baynton

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. – Lord Acton One could wonder if historian Lord Acton’s most famous religious quote (way back in 1887) might have been applicable if he had been inclined to tether a few extra horses to the front of his carriage. Hard to say. But what can be said definitively in 2018 is that some owners of powerful modern Porsches agree that an extra dollop of vehicular corruption is certainly a good thing. On Wednesday evening, September 26, a group of 60+ power-hungry owners descended on Growler Motor Labs in Plano to learn about options for making their

photos by Bill Orr Porsches perform above and beyond what the good folks in Stuttgart deem prudent. Focusing primarily on watercooled Porsches (especially those with easily prodded turbo snails under the hood/boot), Growler owner and

tuning expert Chris Fleming clearly laid out the various upgrade paths to deliver safe and reliable power gains. Three primary solutions were discussed: AMS hardware such as intercoolers and piping, COBB Accessport tuning software, and high-end Akrapovic exhaust systems. Distilling very complex engineering principles such as air flow optimization, turbo boost generation, and heat and pressure management into easy-to-understand language is Chris’ forte. He did a terrific job of explaining how various aftermarket components (either individually or as part of a larger system) can improve the overall efficiency and subsequent power delivery of Porsche motors. Parts laid out on a table for examination and a customer 911 on a rack for closer inspection were perfect visual aids for our members to see the complex engineering solutions up close. The ongoing questions and answers really demonstrated the deep engagement between our members and Chris and his team! As always, Growler had staff on hand to answer questions, and their shop space was immaculate and welcoming. Pizza and drinks were provided beforehand, and at the end of the session Growler marketing manager Al Muir generously presented every member in attendance with a “$100 Off” certificate toward the systems that were discussed that evening. What a fabulous bonus to end the evening! Many thanks again to Chris and Al for being such generous hosts, and a special shout-out to the Mav volunteers (Bill, Jimmy, Mike, Derrick) who arrived early to help with parking and set-up. We couldn’t do this without you! 8 November

Your mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been racing. Catch up. Decades of dreaming, fulfilled instantaneously. The iconic 911 Carrera. Legendary handling, immediate power, and decades of motorsport heritage. It is the full measure of a sports car. Found only in a Porsche. Porsche. There is no substitute.

Rennsport Reunion VI: As told by our members By George Luxbacher and Don Sebert, Region Rally Co-Chairs Rennsport Reunion. This event is known by most Porsche enthusiasts, and based on the 80,000-plus that showed up at Laguna Seca at the end of September, growing in popularity. This was my fourth and best yet. A group of four cars departed DFW Monday morning and stopped at former Maverick Steve Fallon’s home in Albuquerque for refreshments before heading to our hotel and dinner. Some of our party headed to the casino after dinner to cover the costs. We had four more cars join us to make a convoy of eight. Our next overnight was in Bakersfield, where we had our one mechanical issue: a broken shift rod. The Porsche community came through with a recommended shop which had the repair completed and Mark Hanna back in the road by 9:30. We rolled into Laguna Seca around 11:00 Wednesday. This was move-in day, and a great time to visit and catch up with old friends before the crowds and event schedule were to keep people busy. The best description of this event is total Porsche overload. Where else can you see eight 959s parked together, a lineup of 917s, 908s, and a couple of 906s. A 918 rolling through the paddock doesn’t even get a notice.

And the cars are just the icing: the drivers who drove them in anger back in the day, reliving their experiences on stage, is a highlight. I was asked what was most memorable from the weekend and it had to be the La Mans start for the tractor race. The drive home was uneventful, which is the best kind. What a great trip, event, and group of Porsche friends to share it with. If you have never been, you should plan on making it to the next!

This being our first Rennsport, we had an idea of what to expect from fellow returning Mavs, but to recap with one of Bill’s infamous expressions: WHOA! There is truly something for everyone; you might call it a car

vintage cars in the paddock and the next moment you would see that same car on the track with several others with speeds of 100-plus mph passing one another. Whether it was the racers in full gear, the engine sounds, the history, or the number of rare Porsches, you were

facing turn 4, or the straight from behind pit row. My most favorite memory will always be the look on Kruder’s face (like a kid in a candy shop!) especially when he met Derek Bell and David Hobbs. Their autographs are his take-home prize in the bill of his official Rennsport

show that happens to have a race or a race that has a car show. What we found amazing was that you would be admiring one of hundreds of

quite simply kept in awe. The track itself is a marvel with so many vantage points, from the famous Corkscrew, the grandstands

cap. Suffice it to say Porsche’s 70th Anniversary celebrated at Rennsport will always be a memorable

12 November

Rennsport was a bucket list opportunity for me. With family commitments I had a 20-year gap in my Porsche ownership history, and felt I had missed experiencing a lot of great events and people during that time. I made this trip into a 10day journey with my Porsche 981. We visited seven National Parks and Monuments on this trip and traveled some amazing roads. Arriving at Laguna Seca I was immediately impressed with the organization of the event and the sheer quantity of amazing Porsche cars and history. Over the next several days I was able to get up close and personal with P-cars that previously I had only read about in books or had seen in videos online. The history ranged from the first production 356 roaster (which was later driven on the track by Mr. Porsche and his wife) to the latest reveals of the Porsche Speedster, 935, and PCA GT3 in that beautiful blue color! The Chopard Heritage Display featured an impressive display of Porsche racing history ranging from the rare Model 804

Michael McGrath

Formula One car to the variations of the early 718 giant killers to later iconic models like the Martini-clad 935, 936, and many more. The best aspect of this event was the chance to chat with car owners and fellow Porsche fans while looking over the displays and racing cars as they were prepped for their hot laps. The other opportunity was to meet some racing heroes in person, or at least be up close to them, as part of the many interviews that were conducted each day. The most special moments for me were casual conversations with Hurley Haywood and Norbert Singer. Hurley and I shared the track one weekend at Lime Rock Park in the early 90s, as I did Formula Ford and he ran the Audi Quattro with teammate Hans Stuck. We reminisced for a while and then fast forwarded to a discussion about the upcoming release of his documentary movie. In 1992 I worked on a project for my Master’s degree, documenting the effort of Porsche to enter Indy Car Racing Series in the US (Project 2708), developing not only the engine but also their own chassis. Norbert had responded to my letters

As the name implies, Rennsport (which of course means “race sport” or simply “racing” in the language of the Fatherland) focuses on Porsche’s vast racing car

history, with seven different historic race car classes on track each day, practicing, qualifying, and actually racing wheel-to-wheel. But the unique part is that you can get as close as you want to those race cars – they are on display right there in the paddock, where you can walk right up and touch them, although it’s better if you don’t! But the point is this: one minute your favorite race car is right in front of you, a static display of automotive art, and the next minute it’s being started and driven onto the racetrack, navigating a sea of spectators as it winds through the paddock to the hot pits. That is the heart of the Rennsport Reunion experience, and I strongly urge you to put it on your list of things to do before you . . . well, before you can’t!

Coffee, Cars & Conversation By Bill Kruder

photos by Jim Hirsch and Andrew Barber

This month, sadly, I would like to share with you a very special friend we recently lost. I met him about three and a half years ago at one of our Mavs & Mochas: we would say hi, talk about the cars, and of course he would wander off taking hundreds of pictures. Then a few months later, at the Mavs & Mochas held at Stonebriar Community Church, we started to talk, and I mentioned that I had retired from JC Penney. Andrew said, “that’s funny -- my Dad retired from JCP.” The small world it is, I knew his Dad when I had first come into the Home Office in Plano in the early ‘90s. Andrew and I decided to go inside and watch the Grand Prix Pinewood cars race. Well about an hour later, who walks in but his dad, Don Barber, and we proceed to get to know one another more over grilled cheese and fast 7” cars. Our friendship continued over the next three years. He was always there no matter the weather, with camera in hand, providing us with some of the most unique angles, perspectives, and lighting that made you altogether see our Porsches in a whole new way. And he didn’t stop there . . . always capturing friendships and people too. While you might not have met him in person, I’d venture to say you know him very well through his camera work, which appeared on many Slipstream covers, not to mention countless articles each month. I, as well as the Club, consider him instrumental in driving friendships, and his quiet spirit and amazing talent will be greatly missed. So here is the next in my series of “conversations”, this one captured through Andrew’s lens. His pictures tell all the real story we need.

Maverick Marktpreis is proudly sponsored by:

Maverick Marktpreis: Boxster (986) by Peter Wen Porsche is the most profitable car company in the world today with 250,000 annual vehicle sales worldwide. It is hard to imagine 25 years ago that Porsche struggled financially. With a stagnant product lineup, only 14,000 cars were sold in ‘93! It desperately needed a low cost, high production model to turn the company around. Enter the Boxster, the car that saved Porsche. In ‘96, three years after the highly successful concept car debut in Detroit, Porsche launched the Boxster: a boxer-engine, two-seat roadster. Clever name, right? Code-named 986, the Excellence’s Porsche Buyer’s Guide offered these price ranges for the Boxster (986): ‘97-‘99 - $8,000-$12,000 ‘00-‘02 - $8,500-$13,000 ‘00-’02 S - $10,000-$17,000 ‘03-‘04 - $10,000-$15,000 ‘03-’04 S - $12,000-$18,000 Fun Fact: The Boxster was so popular, Porsche had to contract Valmet, a Finnish company, to increase production. Valmet-assembled Boxsters have the letter U in the 11th position of the VIN (for Uusikaupunki, Finland).

first-gen Boxster was the first Porsche to leverage Toyota’s “justin-time” manufacturing principle. It drastically reduced cost and improved reliability. To further reduce expense, the Boxster was jointly developed alongside the new 911, type 996. The two cars shared similar looks and had many common parts. The Boxster was a huge success. With exceptional handling and unmatched open-top fun, it was the best-selling Porsche from ‘96 to ‘03. Today, you too can enjoy this Miata-inspired, Toyotaprocess-improved, mid-engine roadster for around ten grand.

Maverick Trivia: Are you a Porschephile? Jerry DeFeo You can test your knowledge (or Google search ability) of all things Porsche by participating in the monthly trivia contest posted online at http:// mav.pca.org/trivia. Answers are due by the last day of each month. The winner of the trivia contest receives a $25 gift certificate from our sponsor, Zims Autotechnik. In the case of ties, a random drawing determines the winner. We do have a winner. It is Tom Martin getting all 5 of 5 correct!!! An Honorable mention goes out to Christopher Hand that did get 4 of 5 Correct; while no one else got more than 3. I guess using all these Prices was somewhat confusing; so I will throw away that April of 1980 NADA Used Car Guide I found while cleaning my Office. Thanks for Playing and we will see you next month.

The Grand Opening celebration for the new Grapevine Porsche Dealership was held Thursday evening, September 13, and what a terrific event. The sparkling new 68,000 square foot dealership was decked out with fabulous Porsches and people! Ken Schnitzer, CEO of Park Place Dealerships, was on hand to welcome all the guests, to introduce the mayor of Grapevine, and unveil the 2019 Cayenne. Great food and beverage vignettes were located throughout the facility and everyone present thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The PCA Maverick Region and

Mavs & Mochas were well represented and very pleased to help celebrate this great new Porsche Dealership, which is the fourth in the DFW Metroplex. Congratulations Grapevine Porsche -- we wish you great success! Right: Joined by Grapevine mayor William D. Tate, seated, Ken Schnitzel, CEO of Park Place dealerships is at the podium addressing the crowd.

Autocross Event 8: Lone Star Park By Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair

photos by Robert Kirby, LightSpeed Images

With the circus tent gone, the full lot at Lone Star Park was available this time, and Scott Cummings, the course designer, set up a very challenging autocross course with many diverse elements and speed change-ups. This is typical of the late-season layouts that also make lateseason class championships points battles so close. We had 16 Porsche entries in our P-classes and another eight or nine Porsche spectators. Sigrid Schnoerr got many of the Porsche spectators to sign waivers and jump in as passengers in a variety of cars to get a taste of autocross. I bet they enter an event soon after learning more about all the excitement. The Cayenne GTS driven by Igor Tulandin, at his first autocross with his new toy, placed third in Class P1. Yes, four-door Porsches have autocross classes and are competitive out there! Owen Coulman was determined to be the fastest raw time and index time Porsche again and put in a couple of flyers in his red 996 GT3 to keep the rear-engine faithful happy. Class P4 had six drivers in three cars. The course workers must have thought we got twice as many runs as anyone else! Carey Spreen took his 924S to the fight on this course, splitting Mark and Sigrid’s 914 best times and also coming in ahead of Ed Mayo’s orange and blue early 911S. Sigrid was running in first place until the last runs by Mark and Carey. Scott Wolthuis got a new limited slip in his improved and Hoosier-tired 911. It made him struggle on the tight turns but he was flying in the sweeper. Doug Edney won class P7 in his 996, and Sherry and Steve Farnham’s yellow GT4 came up from Longhorn region to keep us all on our P1 - 'PCA 1' Total Entries: 4

Mavs & Mochas: Zims Autotechnik By Pat Carmichael Tradition . . . that’s what this month’s Mavs & Mochas reflected in several aspects. First, Al Zim: his presence reflects almost five decades of friendship and service to the Porsche and enthusiast car community. Second: all the people that brought the almost seven decades of Porsche models to a time-honored club event reflected a camaraderie without comparison. Last but not least: the annual Zims Porsche swap meet, reflecting what it’s all about. Dozens offering treasures enthusiasts at all levels, from the technician club racer to the weekend tinkerer, gathered to enable the eager (or desperate) to find just what they need. It was good times for all. Free coffee from Felix Coffee, good weather, good people, good conversation, and ample parking made for a successful event. The volunteers were there bright and early, all was prepared for a good turnout, and around fifty cars obliged. Thanks to all who came; we hope to see you all next month at Pearl Cup Coffee in Richardson, TX. See y’all then, if not before!!!

Bucket List: Banff By Wendy Shoffit Two years ago, when the PCA Treffen committee announced that Banff would be the destination in fall 2018, James’ eyes got wide! For years he had seen photos of the area and knew he wanted to go! Then a year ago he had a stroke and I was unsure if we would make it. First, HE had to make it and then we’d see. Thankfully, he lived and I knew I had to do everything to make this bucket list item happen. So, we bought tickets we needed and made important hotel reservations. The rest we would fill in as it came along. The 31-hour drive (one way) was daunting because James had ALWAYS done ALL the driving (his choice). He loves to drive! Me, on the other hand . . . not as much (I get sleepy). I decided to leave plenty of time and drive each day until I got tired and wanted to stop. We spent parts of five days getting there (first and last days were three hours each). Approaching the hotel, we knew we’d made the right decision! The area was spectacular. We checked in to the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, which looked and felt like a castle. We grabbed a delicious lunch in their restaurant and later that afternoon went to the Treffen check-in. Everyone was welcoming, had great information, and gave us a goodie “bag” complete with winter vests for each of us. That evening was a meet and greet with hors d’ouevres. We enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones. It was a “free night,” so we went off property with friends to a delicious and very “foodie” restaurant nearby with stuff like foam and Canola crisp. Fancy schmancy. Overnight temperatures dropped, and we awoke to snow. Bright and early we drove to the nearby tour launching area. Many were concerned they had the wrong car and tires for the snow. We were smart to bring our Macan with All Season tires (thanks to my smart husband)! After the drivers meeting we set off on an amazingly beautiful “Yoho Loop” tour while whistling “It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” We’d planned to see the beautiful greens of the trees, we found it more special to see them snow-covered but still drivable. We saw great sites like the Takkakaw Falls and stopped at breathtaking Emerald Lake for lunch. We’d tried to view the spiral tunnels, but the snow was so heavy we couldn’t see them. We were glad to have the extra vest layer under jackets, as we were NOT properly prepared for snow. That night we had a “Hoedown Dinner” featuring amazing fiddlers from a local group. Friday we again were up early (why does PCA not want you to SLEEP?) to go on the Highway 40/Kananaskis (ask me how to pronounce THAT in person) tour. Again, more snow, slippery roads, but breathtaking scenery! This tour we stopped at a local museum and saw (at a distance) a few black bears. Another great dinner that night featuring interesting foods from different provinces of Canada. Saturday was “Navigator’s Day Off,” during which they had bus tours available. We’d purchased tickets for one tour, but we were running late that morning and literally “missed the bus.” Regardless, we went into the

town of Banff and enjoyed walking along main street, shopping, and eating Beaver Tails (pastry – look it up). Others who went on the tours truly enjoyed themselves and were glad they made it! Most tours all weekend went off without a hitch from what I knew, except for the Columbia Ice Fields, which were too rough for most people to attend. Other than that, it was all good! The final dinner Saturday night was a “Night at the Castle” and it was great, like the others. The best part of the evening for me was the presentation by two Canadian RCMP “Mounties.” While we were skeptical about being bored, when they started talking, we were quickly entertained by his stories and explanation of why they wear those funny shaped pants. Awesome guys and an amazing time! We were thankful to be there with fellow Mavericks Jerry and Myra Sutton and Madhu and Roshni Rao (now living in NYC). Sunday morning we were sad to leave, but anxious to get on to the next leg of our trip… Lake Louise and then to Rennsport Reunion VI in Monterey, CA (a week and a half later)! Ahhhhh… what a journey. 27

Renegade Rallye: 2018 By Don Anderson As a relatively new Maverick member, I was asked to provide my perspective of my first drive to the Hill Country. I had heard many good things about the area, and being new to Texas, I was thrilled to be invited to go on this adventure.

Ten cars, 1100 miles, four days: it was a blast! The drive started in Plano, where we gathered part of the group. We met a few more participants en route in Cleburne, and a couple more drove down later that evening and met us at our hotel in Kerrville. The next three days were filled with spirited driving and great scenery. I thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine at different establishments along the way and was grateful to be making new friends. Like Letterman or ESPN, here’s my top 10 list for the trip:

10. Learning more about my car and the opportunity to use

“sport mode” in a meaningful way.

Not leading the pack or having to know where to go. (Much easier following!)

The spirited driving was fun, but we kept it safe and within our capabilities.

While turning onto one of the many fun and twisty roads that Mark Palmer had selected for us, a sheriff got interested and inserted himself in the middle of the pack and followed for far too many miles -- until we pulled off at a scenic river crossing to take pictures (without incident).

A young boy was mesmerized by all of our cars parked together at a coffee shop stop and rated each of them (he liked the one with the big wing best, of course).

Peter Wen’s smile when he discovered the LED valve stem lights that were placed on his tires by the group without his knowledge.

The visit to l’art et l’automobile in Harper, where automobile memorabilia is sold by Jacques and his wife, all housed in an amazing barn brimming with rare and desirable car art.

The libations, conversation, and laughs after the drive.

Hill Country and its roads and scenery.

Making new friends and creating wonderful memories . . . true Driving Friendships.

Already looking forward to next year! 28 November

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor By Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor

It seems like certain Slipstream issues take on a common name, the Christmas issue, the Autocross issue, well, this is probably the Rennsport issue. The cover photo and the center spread pay tribute to the event, but also the people that enjoy, attend and yes enable us to take a week off of work and play race car driver. We like to say it’s not just the cars, it’s the people. Never was that more evident than before, during and after my first trip to Rennsport. I looked at the ads and thought ‘that would be fun to do someday’. Cue the music and dreamy recap sequence. Things just began to line up. I was encouraged by fellow members, connected with tickets for sale, a corral pass, a group to drive out with. But things like that don’t just happen magically, it takes people. I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but car people are the best people. I know dog people are great and Aggies are generally very nice unless you happen to mention that you think Texas has a better team this year, but car people have a special bond that is a little different. Take for example a new friend that I met in the Porsche corral at the event. We started in the usual manner, talking about our cars and the event, fifteen minutes later I wound

up with an invitation to take his spot in the next day’s parade lap around Laguna Seca (a boyhood dream) if I was willing to bring his boys with me. I nearly choked trying to accept. That has never happened to me at a PTA meeting. I’m not a special case, far from it. A quick look on the Maverick Facebook page will confirm that our members stand ready to lend advice, experience and hands at a moments notice. Don’t just ‘Enjoy the drive!’, enjoy the friends new and old.

Giants in the mist. A moment I won’t forget, the 917 warming up on a quiet morning in the California fog. Our group during a needed back break.
