SPROCKETS: Lots of Events Left for 2019! by David Robertson, Region President Here we are getting into the winter season once again. This, by no stretch, means that we are slowing down; in fact some of the best events of the year are coming up! There are more driving events in November: an autocross on the 3rd and a DE the weekend of the 9th and 10th. Mavs & Mochas is held every month, and there are lots of casual gatherings and impromptu get-togethers just about every weekend. Check out the tech session on November 16 - these are always great meetups with very interesting topics. With only a limited number of weekends during the month, you may notice that some of our events end up on the same day or even at the same time. I know this can sometimes be frustrating, but I consider it a good problem to have. There have never been so many options for activities to enjoy as we have right now. The options are expanding, but available times on weekends to get together will always remain the same, and sometimes we just don’t have enough time in the month. If you We are leading up to Founders have to choose Day which is the biggest event of between two events, you the year! Saturday December 7th will have another chance is the annual celebration of our very soon! Maverick Region PCA. We will have a lot to celebrate from a banner year in 2019. Five national awards, including Region of The Year, record growth in membership, and record attendance at our events should be more than enough reason for you to come out and enjoy the day. There will be three separate events starting in the morning with Mavs &
Mochas at Nordstrom NorthPark, a toy drive in the afternoon, and then the banquet event that evening at Park Place Porsche Grapevine. On a sad note, our Rally Chair, Jay Lynch, recently passed away after a brief illness. Jay was a very active participant in the Maverick Region. In my last conversation with him, Jay was very excited about the recent success of the Poker Rally and very enthusiastic about future events he had planned. Our recent Halloween Rally was organized in his honor. We will all remember Jay’s big presence and always present smile.
MAV OF THE MONTH: Scott Kellogg Scott has been the Maverick Region Concours Co-Chair for over 6 months now and has big plans for the program. He has become an integral part of the Maverick Region. His ideas, his energy and his willingness to assist with anything needed is one reason why this region is growing so consistently. Scott is involved with most M&M’s and car shows in which our region hosts or participates. He hosted the People’s Choice show and shine this past September and also organized the parking of our club’s Porsches that participated in the Park Place Luxury and Super Car Showcase on the 18th Fairway at The Four Seasons. Scott’s background in organizing and judging car shows is a big plus for our Concours program and we can’t wait to see what he has planned. Thank you, Scott! 2 November

Founders Day 2019 by Debi Kruder Can you imagine more than 300 Mavericks and their favorite Porsches coming together on the biggest event of the year? You will soon hear their engines, recognize the laughter, and experience what’s my favorite event of the year!
On Saturday, December 7th, we will celebrate 57 years as a Maverick Region and its many accomplishments at our annual Founders Day. It’s one day, 3 events, and over 3000 members! Mark your calendars and register today. The morning will kick off with our monthly Mavs & Mochas bright and early at Nordstrom’s North Park where we will also host the 3rd annual Top Ten People’s Choice Car Show. Nordstrom continues to be a generous 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, whether 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 gifts for children in need for our 3rd annual Mavs Toy Parade. Participating cars will meet at the Walmart located at 1700 Dallas Parkway in Plano. As last year, the Maverick PCA is partnering with the Plano Police Department in support of Plano Christmas
Cops. We are excited to lead the parade driving our ’64 356 with windows full of stuffed animals, baby dolls, and all things merry with a Christmas tree on top to add to the fun! 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, feel free to enjoy downtown Plano with your favorite Mavs and pick a lunch spot before heading home for a quick nap. Then it’s time to 8 November
photos provided by Author get dressed in your holiday attire! Feel free to dress up or down in your favorite party dress, holiday sweater, or even your cowboy boots cause it’s time to celebrate! Meet us at Grapevine Porsche for festivities that begin at 7pm.

What do you have to look forward to at the Founders Day evening event? First, we are celebrating 50 years of the Porsche 914 and are excited to showcase many in our club all while enjoying Pecan Lodge, an open bar, and mingling with your favorite Mavs. Pecan Lodge will be catering their award-winning pulled pork, smoked brisket and new this year southern fried chicken, salad, and even
dessert to include peach cobbler and cupcakes. As the evening progresses, members make their final votes for our 2020 officers, hear the name of the recipient for the James Shoffit Maverick of the Year Award, pick up their silent auction purchased items before heading home with a commemorative poster and car decal.

September Mavs & Mochas: Texas Harley-Davidson by Carl Adee
photos provided by Greg Ward and Scott Kerfoot provided some much-needed Felix Coffee and donuts which helped fuel the conversation and comradery. As always, we had an extensive collection of Porsche models to choose from. Everything from classic 356s to
On a hot and sunny Texas Saturday two automotive legends came together again. Adam Smith’s Texas Harley-Davidson hosted the September Mavs & Mochas in just the latest crossover event between the iconic motorcycle company and Porsche. The two teamed up back in 1976 on Project Nova and again in 1997 on the V-Rod engine. This time Texas Harley-Davidson supplied ample parking for over 120 members, including more than 30 black cars, which was the color of the month. They also
our mid-engine beauties like 914s, Boxsters, and Caymans. We had a large contingent of front engine 924, 928, and 944 models, and of course many 911s that spanned generations, including one that saw plenty of attention: a beautiful red GT2 RS with Weissach package. Hopefully everyone got to stop by the Park Place Dallas sponsorship tent to pick up a few goodies, including toy cars for our junior members and new pop sockets for your phones. We hope to see everyone on November 2 at Montgomery Plaza in Fort Worth!

Autocross Series: Event 8 at Lone Star Park by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair The Autocross event Sunday, September 15, was held at the excellent Lone Star Park site in Grand Prairie, Texas. The course was a very fast and challenging layout that really favored the faster cars, but there were enough turns for the lesser Porsches to keep making a comeback in the tight sections, sloloms and sweeping turns. The first quick Porsche today was our first season competitor in class P3, Mass Watanabe in his Red Boxster S with a class winning best time of 57.221 seconds. Mas was fastest Porsche over the Class P1 winning 914 of Mark Schnoerr who did a 57.769. In the Performance Index, the first quick was the Mark Schnoerr 914 by just 0:014 seconds. So things were very exciting trying to stay ahead of the very quick cars on this track. In class P0, Igor was only a few seconds behind in his Cayenne GTS to win his class again. These big SUVs can really attack on an autocross course. In class P1, Ed Mayo was second in his 1972 911S, Sigrid Schnoerr was right behind him in her 914, followed by Carey Spreen in his 911SC. Newcomer Robert Dunn brought his beautiful 996 Turbo X50 and won the class P5. Another newcomer, Scott Gray, ran his first AX event

in the family 991 GT3 to edge out Dawn Gray on his first event. Dawn promises this will not happen again. There are two more autocross events remaining and some classes are still very tight races for the year end championships. October 13 and November 3 (this is the Guns and Hoses Charity final event of the season), both at Lone Star Park. If you want to learn how to really make your Porsche go fast, get the skills to be a safe and competent DE or even Tours driver, you should come to one of these events.

Cars & Cannoli Recap: September by Yann Cortina As usual, we pulled in early with a great group of PCA members so we could secure a good Porsche spot prior to the arrival of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and other supercars. Daniel Coyle (APEX Owner), Josh Jones (Coverica VP), and crew did magnificent work on organizing the event as usual. Oh, did I say plenty of fresh coffee and donuts too? I must say that it is a great way to recognize exotic car owners who bring their beloved vehicles to other events in the area, such as Mavs & Mochas, Cars and Cantina, and Cars and Coffee Southlake. There’s no admission fee technically, but most of the gentlemen parking at Cars and Cannoli have spent more for the privilege of being here than the average person makes in several years. As you approach the gate, Daniel Coyle greets you; he is your only ticket to the spectacular event, and the only way to gain entry. There are off-duty Dallas police: one at entry and one at exit, as well as secured perimeter fence/walls. Some of the most common feedback that I have heard over and over is that people can leave a million-dollar car unlocked and they don’t have to worry about it. It is a fantastic place to spend a few hours on the third Saturday of each month. 18 November

Maverick Marktpreis: 944 by Peter Wen Nothing screams “The ‘80s” like sky-high hair-dos, big shoulder pads, and . . . pop-up headlights! Porsche continued the transaxle model parade and introduced the 944 in 1982. An evolution from the Volkswagen-influenced 924, the 944 carried over the distinctive headlights and sexy styling cues from the 924 Turbo. However, under the hood, the new 944 was all Porsche. No longer did it share
an engine with VW-Audi; it was equipped with the brand new 2.5L inline four developed by Porsche. This engine was basically half of the 928’s V8. With near 50-50 weight distribution, the 944 was praised for its incredible handling. It won Car and Driver’s Best Handling Production Car in America in ‘84 and 10Best Steering Car in ‘85. The 944 proved to be a huge hit
for Porsche. The wait list for one was nearly two-and-a-half YEARS upon introduction! At the end, over 163,000 944s were produced. It is one of the most successful sports cars in Porsche’s history. Today, 944s are very reasonably priced. Its 0-60 time may not turn any heads, but it more than made up for it with its superb handling and period-correct styling.
$42,500
Fun fact: The 944 was featured in the movie “Sixteen Candles.” The license plate number was 21850, which was the director John Hughes’ birthday: Feb 18, 1950. Coincidentally, the star of the movie, Molly Ringwald, was also born on Feb 18!

Coffee, Cars & Conversation by Bill Kruder This month was decades in the making. Most of you have seen his ad in Slipstream on the inside back cover every month since 1978. As a matter of fact he has run an ad with us for 492 continuous issues. As Advertising Chair, I got the opportunity to ask him each of the last three years if he is renewing his ad, and each time he is the first to come back and say yes. The MRPCA and I appreciate his enthusiasm in being a club sponsor and contributor to our annual Founders Day Silent Auction. So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you: Steve Louden, Enthusiast since 1960
photos provided by author BK: But the Ford job almost didn’t happen I hear? SL: Ford was on campus and had a sign-up board posted; it had maybe one or two openings left. However there was a notice that said you had to have a 3.0 GPA and I had a 2.5 GPA. I signed up anyway, thinking “what the heck.” Well I get to the interview and they wondered why I was there with just a 2.5. I just said I loved cars, I know a lot about cars, and I want to work for Ford. I worked for Ford for the next 11 years.
was Forest Lane Porsche+Audi. Forest Lane was the biggest Porsche dealership in the country back then, so I thought it made sense to be here. So far, despite all the ups and downs, it’s been the right move (says smiling) as we built this building in 1980 and we are still here. BK: So I’ve heard you built your first car? SL: True, I was only 18. I built an H-Modified SCCA Crosley-powered racecar with a Devin fiberglass body. At 18 I couldn’t drive it on the track so I had friends race it for me. We raced it at SCCA Regional races in Florida, which included races at Sebring and Daytona.
Bill Kruder: So I know you BK: But this was just the are not originally from here, start of racing for you, where again? right? Steve Louden: I’m SL: It was! As much as I originally from Fairfield, loved building and working Iowa; it’s a small on cars, I loved to race. In town about two hours 1968 I ran a Lotus Super 7 southeast of Des Moines, out in Riverside, CA. Then not far from Burlington. Steve Louden and a photo of his 1977 GTU build at Sebring in 1978 in 1969 I got into Formula We moved to Sarasota, Ford. That December we were at the Florida before eventually landing World Championship at Sebring and BK: So what was next? in Dallas. we took 6th of 50. First independent SL: I had always had this gift, I non-factory-sponsored car to finish. guess you would say, to tinker with BK: What brought you to Dallas? things, and been working on and SL: I went to Florida State, earning BK: What made you stop racing? building cars, so that’s how Louden a B.S. in Business. Ford Motor SL: Well that was in ‘72-’73. I was Motorcars got started in 1977, in a Company hired me right after racing a Brabham BT29 at Road rented building about a ½ mile from graduation, 1966, and I moved to Atlanta. Gordon Smiley crashed into this building today. Dallas. I was a Tech Department the rear of my car on the first lap. I Sales and Service Rep. After that climbed out, I said “I’m DONE,”and BK: I have to ask: with all the places I became the Marketing Manager that was it - no looking back. Smiley you could have chosen to open a for Lincoln Mercury for the Texas later killed himself in practice for the shop, why here? and Oklahoma region. I did that Indy 500. SL: Well in the late ‘70s and early until 1977, when they wanted to ‘80s we had two dealerships around promote me to Detroit, but I didn’t BK: But you still built cars after this? the corner you could say. One was see that happening. SL: Yes I did. In 1977 two guys here John Roberts BMW and the other 20 November
had me build a 1977 Porsche 911 GTU (these were under 2.5-liter IMSA cars) and it was raced in 1978 at Sebring and finished. BK: These two guys - anyone we know? SL: Wendall Turley, pretty well-known attorney in Dallas; most famous today with his name up on the building along Central Expressway near Mockingbird. The other was M.L. Spear, a CPA in Dallas, who back then was racing a lot and eventually raced a couple times I believe at Le Mans, once for a Dallas-based team. Funny thing is that M.L. still is my accountant (with a smile). BK: So I hear you not only have attended Le Mans but you were there for a pretty special race? SL: True! Ford had just hired me and I really wanted to be part of the racing program. That being said, in 1966 I decided to go to Le Mans to watch the Ford vs. Ferrari showdown. Well, as we all know now, what a race it turned out to be, with Ford taking 1-2-3, and I was there. Ford quit racing a couple of years later, so my desire to get in on their racing program evaporated. BK: Let’s talk cars now. First one? SL: That was a 1950 Crosley Hot Shot. I added a
supercharger to it and drove it all through high school. BK: And first Porsche? SL: That was our ‘79 911SC, Grand Prix White. We bought it in the late ‘80s, had it for 20-plus years, and sold it about five years ago due to back surgery and the difficulty of getting in and out. BK: Tell me about how you and Judy met. SL: Well that was pretty much pure luck; we were both on a ski trip in Park City. It was ski club trip from Dallas. I was on it with some friends, and she was there with her brother. Funny though - I saw her there and thought she was there with a boyfriend. I kind of scouted her out and somehow found out it was her brother, and as they say the rest is history. We have been married now for 44 years, we have Derek our son and two grand kids now. Every month as I write the interview I think the same thing: what if . . . . What if I had not joined PCA all those years ago; what if Steve had not advertised with us for some 41 years now? So if and when you meet someone new, don’t miss out on “Driving Friendships”!
We’ll give you an assist on your future goals.

The Garage Project: Part 2 by Robert Turner I was smart for a change. Figuring the project would take at least a day to complete, I took a few extra days off around Memorial Day. After the garage was done, I’d spend the rest of the weekend admiring my handiwork and floating in the pool, enjoying tasty malted beverages. (Sound of hysterical laughter) Yo, Rob! Like this is going to be easy? Have you seen the size of this garage? It’s Large! Not to mention the ceiling needs to be painted too. Yeah. Maybe I took a damn big bite of something that had ‘Beast’ written all over it. I spent one whole day doing prep work: taping and laying paper. Then I spent a whole ten to fifteen minutes figuring out how the Wagner Power Sprayer worked. In retrospect, I should have spent maybe thirty to forty minutes with it before trying to paint on an actual wall. The first results were – well let’s just say they kinda sucked. Side note: I have a car friend who says I should not be allowed anywhere near paint. A few years ago, I had a project to paint my tire trailer the same color, Slate Gray Metallic, as my 968. The results were lousy; lots of over spray and paint runs along every surface. I thought it looked OK, but my friend, gasping for air in between fits of laughter said, “Rob, you’re the worst painter in the world!” Geez man, you hurt my feeling. Hey, I’m painting a garage wall white, what could go wrong? As it turns out, a lot. The Wagner Power Sprayer was hard to use. I discovered you had to hold it in a special way or it clogged easily. How do I know this? Copious amounts of white paint splattering me and every surface not covered with paper.
I walked upstairs and my wife burst out laughing. This was going to be a long weekend. So, I compromised and started bringing the tasty malted beverages down to the garage to get me though this project. Lots of cold tasty malted beverages. I’d do a whole section of wall and then take a break. I made pretty good progress and got most of the walls completed by Saturday evening. Sunday I’d do the stairs leading to the house (after having removed the ugly carpet) and the ceiling. A hitch developed. Since the Wagner put out a fine mist of paint in the air around it, everything not covered in the garage ended up with a light coating of paint on it. Me included. I’d worn breathing protection, but it wasn’t enough as I felt like I had to hack up half a lung at 26 November
the end of each day. The stairs were particularly challenging as they are narrow with no ventilation. They were also the most faded area in the entire garage and needed two coats. I think I breathed in one coat and I do not want to talk about what happened when I blew my nose… By Sunday night I was gassed. So, Mrs. Turner propped me up in a comfy chair, put a neat bourbon in my hand and started the Monaco GP, which we’d taped earlier. I was exhausted and did not move all day Monday. And for the most part, I was mostly finished painting. Tuesday dawned bright and early as I had to head out of town for a business trip. Opening the garage door, I marveled at my paint work. It didn’t look too bad. There was only one large-ish section I’d missed on the ceiling. Maybe nobody would notice it. Until a random stranger passing in his car stopped, got out of his car, walked all the way uphill to the top of my driveway, pointed to my ceiling and said, “Missed a spot.” Oh well, Wagner Power Sprayer, fine paint mist and paint splatter be damned, I won’t be painting any more. I shooed the guy away and closed the garage door. The Wagner has seen the last of me. And on that exhaust note, see you all next time.

(Maniacal) Mechanical Musings: Make it Stop! By Ed Mullenix then Forest Lane Porsche+Audi. I’ll bet I put thread repair inserts in 50 engines when I worked there. Porsche liked their alloy pressure cast cases, so their fix was to change the exhaust-side stud material from steel to “dilvar.”
There are still a gazillion air-cooled 911s on the road. A problem that has forever plagued the ’76-‘87 911s is the cylinder head studs. A brief refresher: Since the start of production of the 911 in 1964 and through 1967, Porsche used a sand-cast engine case. The sand casting method is very expensive since a foundry tech has to make a mold for every engine. Also the cases are heavy because of the amount of aluminum used. Around 1965, Volkswagen started using the pressure-cast method of producing engine cases. The molds are reusable with the pressure cast method. Manufacturers are always looking for ways of reducing cost. So in 1968, VW engineers started using a magnesium/aluminum alloy for the cases. They could use less material since the magnesium would strengthen the alloy. This probably worked great in the frigid climes of Europe, but not so much here in the American
Dilvar had the expansion coefficient of aluminum; the theory was that the aluminum cylinders were expanding more on the lower (exhaust) side, causing the threads in the case to fail. Unfortunately the dilvar alloy was so brittle, the studs would break; so much for the bestlaid plans of mice and engineers. The alloy was extremely hard; carbide drill bits were required to drill out a broken stud.
southwest. The cases were so rigid that the pressure on the case exerted by the cylinder head studs (caused by ever-increasing engine temps to meet emission standards) would result in the threads in the holes for the studs breaking. The result was loose cylinder heads, compression loss, and severely diminished power. In 1968, Porsche adopted the magnesium alloy pressure cast method for case production. This worked great in the 2.0 L-2.4 L engines. In 1974, Porsche bumped the displacement to 2.7 liters. Engines were running hotter to meet emissions (in 1975 they incorporated a five-blade cooling fan to increase the engine temp). I was a unit tech (engine and transmission repair) at
In 1976, with the introduction of the 911 Turbo, Porsche used aluminum as the case material. It was more forgiving than the magnesium alloy. They kept the aluminum cases through the SC, 3.2 Carrera, 964 3.6, and the 993. Several iterations of head stud were tried. The problem does not show up on the 964 or 993 cars but is a ticking time bomb on the SC and 3.2 cars. If you are thinking about the purchase of a 3.0 or 3.2 911, absolutely have a pre-purchase inspection done. Include removal of the lower valve covers (drain the oil out of the engine, to be refilled later), with a torque wrench set at 12 ft-lbs (half the prescribed head nut torque of 24 ft-lb), turn the wrench, and observe if there is any movement of the head nut. If there is any movement at all, that stud is in an early stage of failure. I have removed lower covers during the course of an engine maintenance and had sections of broken head stud with nut still attached fall out on the floor. Replacing head studs is essentially doing a “top end” on the engine. Depending on where the stud broke, it could mean total disassembly - see attached pic of an SC case with studs broken off inside the case. I no longer use dilvar studs; I use steel studs for upper (intake side) and lower (exhaust side). In 20 years, have not had a single problem using steel studs. Having fun!!

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
While putting together this month’s issue and wondering what new fangled technology I was going to bad-mouth, a photo submitted by Steve Louden caught me eye. For those of you that remember Slipstream in those days, thanks for sticking around. For those of us that don’t, this was the current issue in September 1978. Archie and Linda LeBron were the editors and Barry Gibbs, President, wrote about airbags and quartz-halogen headlights. Cutting edge stuff. Ed Mayo wrote an article called Crankshaft Crisis. It begins: “Every so often I hear of people who have overhauled a 356 or 912 and then shortly thereafter the crankshaft breaks. If you’ve checked the new price of crankshafts lately, you know you can buy a decent running VW for the price of the crankshaft.” Well the more times change, the more they stay the same don’t they? I imagine you can probably still buy a decent running VW for the price of a 356 crankshaft. (I checked. They start at a little over $4,000 depending on which you’re looking for.)
Slipstream has been a part of the club since its very beginning, as a one page newsletter in September of 1963. Slipstream has changed a lot through the years, but its mission has not: t o bring Maverick members relatable and informative stories and updates on things happening in the club. I hope we’re still doing that. As always, we are constantly looking for interesting stories and contributors to help telling them. There is a limit to how many times I can insist that the world (and its engine) is flat without getting thrown out of the penthouse Slipstream offices. If you have interest in helping out with any aspect of the club, please contact Landon Stogner, our Volunteers Chair. He will get you plugged in with an event that can use your help. If you would like to share a story, share your garage adventure or help us out at Slipstream, please let me know. And if you’d just like to see Ed’s article yourself, check out the archive at texashistory.unt.edu and search “slipstream”. Enjoy the (virtual) drive!
