Please help us to keep growing! 4
The Inside Track by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President As you read this, Founders Day on November 12th is only a month away; so it's really not too early to start drumming up support for the event. We have some plans for this year that will expand significantly on the awards and recognition that have been a traditional part of Founders Day. Autocross and time trails will continue to be important. However, we also hope to initiate some new, fun awards and recognition for club racing, DEs, rally, and tour participants. If you have been active in any of these events in the past year, you need to plan to be at Founders Day. Additionally, we would like to have a big turnout to ensure that we put our best face forward for our sponsors. We plan to personally invite, and encourage the attendance of our sponsors. We want to be able to thank them formally and face to face for their continued support of the club. As always, spending your hard earned bucks with our advertisers and sponsors is typically the most effective way to say thanks. However, a personal "thank you" goes a long way as well. It's something a lot of us, including me, forget to say sometimes.
We also have a couple of more tricks up our sleeves to encourage a substantial turnout. The board agreed it would be a nice treat for the members if the club underwrote a portion of the cost for the event. This will help keep the ticket cost reasonable at a time when everything else seems to be going up. For those of you with sporting blood (and who among us doesn't have that?) in your veins, we are also planning a Casino Night with the program. Proceeds will be donated to further support the Hope shelter building project and your winnings can be used in the fabulous raffle after dinner. We are also delighted to have a guest speaker, Peter Schutz, that evening. Peter was President and CEO of Porsche AG. [ed. More about Peter can be found in the minutes.] In a slightly more serious (but not too much) vein, the board plans to offer up some modest revisions to the bylaws for a vote along with the election of officers for 2006. Barring a major write-in campaign, and there is plenty of time for that, this election promises to be just as closely contested as last year’s. All in all, it promises to be a big evening. Mark your calendars now for November 12th. Hope to see you there!

Maverick Minutes by Michael Wingfield
M
ichael Brodigan hosted the September board meeting on September 6, 2005. The meeting had the following 14 members in attendance: Executive Council–Rocky Johnson, Mark Gluck, Jeff Atkins, Michael Wingfield; Board Members–Andy Miller, Joe McGlohen, Lanean Hughes, Mike Brodigan, Charlie Davis, Teri Davis. Bill Miller, Ed Gross, Tracey Gross, and Wendy Shoffit Rocky called the meeting to order at 7:04 PM, and began the ‘round table discussion. Andy Miller: 17 people signed up for the next tour. Schedule of ’06 proposed tour dates sent to Rocky. Rocky mention that he was approached by some members interested in a “Sunday Drive” tour, that will focus on a leisurely drive to a destination/attraction. Andy offers to help coordinate with anyone who would like to develop the “Sunday Drive” format tour. Joe McGlohen: Supports regional compliance with the National Tour guidelines, especially since Tours do not require a technical inspection of participant’s vehicles before taking to the road. Lanean Hughes: Hope Shelter has framed walls. Will print ads soliciting people to “adopt” individual rooms to decorate and furnish each room. Acme bricks and paint were donated by a local hardware store. However, labor is not donated and wants $3,500 to pay masons. Mark Gluck suggests the general membership have a voice on additional contribution to Hope Shelter since the region has already given in excess of $10,000 to the shelter this year. Michael Brodigan suggests that surplus funds from events be used for the membership to support future events and that specific events be set up and advertised as functions to collect monies for Hope Shelter. Charlie Davis suggests the region institute a “matching funds” program for Hope Shelter donations, up to some defined limit. Michael Wingfield asks what happened to the $85,000 building fund bank account reported at the August meeting. Lanean says $75,000 of that fund was used as framing labor expenses. Teri Davis states that Kroger committed to donate the framing labor. But Lanean says that Kroger was not able to provide the labor due to scheduling conflicts. Mark Gluck points out that Hope Shelter has been approved for $150,000 in loans to complete the building, but Lanean indicates that the Shelter would rather not take out a loan (that would need to be paid back) if they don’t have to. Wendy Shoffit makes a motion to give Hope Shelter $3,500 to help their immediate need. Joe McGlohen seconds. Motion passes by a narrow margin.
the Nominations Committee that we need the list of ’06 candidate officers. List appears elsewhere in this issue of Slipstream. Teri Davis: Has begun preliminary planning for ’06 rally events. Will possibly conduct a rally school in January or February, schedule permitting. Bill Miller: Has calendar of proposed ’06 AX/TT dates. Will incorporate events in other regions on the ’06 calendar. For ’06, Brian Petri has offered to Chair AX events and Bryan Bell has offered to Chair TT events. Chuck Machala plans to buy two Icom radios to test at an upcoming event, and can get a refund after testing should the region decided not to pursue the Icom radios. The existing radios will go on sale to the membership for $45 a pair per motion from April ’05 Board meeting. Jeff Atkins: We have money. Charlie Davis: The insurance is due on the “Truckster” and will transfer information to Rocky. Truckster has passed state inspection, but still needs an exhaust manifold. Repair costs exceeded the $1,000 allocated at the July ’05 Board meeting, by $42. Has replaced the rear-view mirrors on the Truckster and will try to rebuild the carburetors over the winter. Tracey Gross: Goodie Store has fleece jackets, polo shirts with embroidery car numbers, and 12 helmet bags on order. Has spent $150 on ordered items, well below the $1,000 allocated by the Board in April ’05. Founder’s Day scheduled for Nov. 12, and the Holiday Party is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 10 at the home of Bob and Clara Lewis. Proposed a Wine Tasting event for October at Tung’s Wine Warehouse. Ed Gross: Making Goodie Store available on the Maverick web site is still a work in progress. Some outside web program is needed to bring the online store to fruition. Mark Gluck: We have insurance and will add Friday Oct. 21 to the covered days for the October DE, to accommodate the instructor clinic.
Lanean (as Bill Dawson): Proposed dates for ’06 DE events submitted for consolidation on the regional events calendar.
Wendy Shoffit: Approximately 30 people attended the Grapevine Photo Rally. Instructions and results will appear on the web site soon. Will take over as Slipstream Editor for the remainder of the year. The September Slipstream was delivered to Ussery Printing. Hilton DFW Lakes in Grapevine will host Founder’s Day Saturday Nov. 12. Peter Schutz will appear as guest speaker and autograph his book. {Secretary Addendum - Peter Shutz was President & CEO of Porsche AG from 1981-1988. He engineered the biggest positive financial turn around in Porsche sales history. He also authored the book, The Driving Force: Extraordinary Results with Ordinary People. (Published: 2003 by Entrepreneur Press, Inc. ISBN: 1932156119)}. Proposes Founder’s Day also include a “Casino Night” to benefit Hope Shelter.
Mike Brodigan: Received 9 payments of the 25 invoices sent for Slipstream advertising renewals. Advertisers have “pushed back” at the proposed web link advertising fee, but three of the nine respondents opted to add web advertising to their Slipstream advertising. Rocky suggests providing free Founder’s Day tickets to advertisers and sponsors, as appreciation for their contributions to the club. It would also allow more advertisers and sponsors to meet face-to-face with more of the membership. Mike and Lanean will compile a list of advertisers and the proposed number of free tickets based on club advertising and sponsorship.
Rocky Johnson: Received the National nominations Committee list, should Maverick Region wish to nominate someone for a National office. Spoke with the Club attorney concerning loaning regional equipment and staff in exchange for a donation to Hope Shelter. The attorney voiced discomfort over this arrangement, suggesting we revise our policy and develop a rental contract. Mark Gluck has penned a “Gift” policy and will distribute to the Board for review. John Sandusky will server as Club Race ’06 Chair, assisted by Tom Snodgrass (’07 Chair in training).
Michael Wingfield: September DE has 96 entrants, but still has room for 12 more advanced entrants. October DE registration is open and 31 entrants have applied in the 2 days of open registration. Proposes that the Goodie store donate some of the surplus and obsolete clothing to the hurricane refugees relocated to the metroplex. Ed & Tracey have ~70 shirts (40 polo and 30 T-shirts) that were destined for the Hope Shelter, but will reroute and deliver to the hurricane refugees. Reminds
Rocky (as Dennis Chamberlain): Happy Hour at Go Fish had ~50 in attendance.

Hackberry Creek Country Club will host the remaining 2005 Board Meetings. Attendees must RSVP for the meetings at that location in order for the region to obtain the proper sized room for the meeting. The meeting adjourned (appropriately) at 9:11 PM.
Happy Hour at Go Fish
New member David McBee bought a 1973 911 just so he could join PCA and the Maverick Region. Recent member Ryan Hatfield (2000 996) was also in attendance, as was Landis Griffith (2005 Cayenne). Go Fish turned out to be a fabulous location for a happy hour. We plan to return there soon. For our October 20 Happy Hour we’ll be heading to Joe T Garcia’s in Fort Worth. Hope to see you there!

s you can see from the pictures, we had a lot of happy members at Go Fish in Addison. About 50, in fact. Maybe it was the food that made them happy, or maybe the atmosphere. Maybe it was the company. Or maybe they’re just happy campers to begin with.

From The Driver’s Seat by Wendy Shoffit, Slipstream Managing Editor
Y
ou may have noticed that your editor is looking a bit more feminine and a lot more like me. Well, the truth is… it is me. Mike Holloway has stepped down and I have assumed the position of managing editor for Slipstream once again. With Mike’s increasing work travel schedule, it became more difficult each month to produce this newsletter on time at the quality we have all come to expect. Mike has done a great job over the past nine months to provide us all with our communication center. He has also done his best to ensure that the transition has been a smooth one. Hopefully now he will be able to enjoy his family and club events more. When you see him, show your appreciation. I am fortunate to still have a great set of people working on Slipstream. Matt Platts will be taking on a larger role (closer to a co-editor than ever before). Dennis Chamberlain will still be doing our fabulous event advertisements. Jan Mayo is continuing her work proof reading (hopefully with the assistance of Tinker Edwards). Kevin Hardison at Ussery Printing will still be the final step before the newsletter goes to press. Finally, Joel Nannis and Andy Mears will continue working together to provide the mail house with prompt and accurate data to ensure that your issue gets to your mailbox. I’ll bet you didn’t realize it takes a village to put on each issue, did you? Without these people, we would be sunk.
I would be remiss if I let this issue go by without expressing my deepest sympathies for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Not a day goes by where we’re not all barraged with pictures, video, and stories of horror. We have all been affected by this tragedy, some more so than others. It seems as though there are evacuees everywhere you turn, desperate to get the help they need. My thoughts also go to our very own Porsche Club Mardi Gras, Magnolia, and Sonnenschein Regions and hope that our fellow members have found their way past the immediate danger and are on their way to rebuilding their lives and their towns. As I write this, Hurricane Rita is battering Texas and Louisiana. Houston and Galveston are ghost towns, with many of those evacuees fleeing towards our area, taking as much as 24 hours to make the trip. New Orleans is flooding again and our country is in great need. In the short run, it appears as though Katrina taught us good lessons, but we still have much to learn. I’m grateful that my family left Houston safely and hope yours is safe, as well. Our prayers are with you all. If we all pull together, we’ll make it through. Avoid being a passenger in life . . . . . . Enjoy the view from the driver’s seat.

Palo Pinto Perseverance By Andy Miller
After a relatively short drive past Weatherford on I-20, we got on 1189 and started to enjoy the wonderful isolated twisty roads south of Palo Pinto. Our first rest stop was in Bluff Dale. Just before the gas station, James St. Peter in his 993 Cab pulled off to the side of the road. Ted Glover stopped to assist him. James had been having ongoing problems with the oil warning light in his car going on and thought the problem had been fixed. After putting a quart (can) of oil in the car, the warning light went off but James decided to pack it in for the day and not take any chances. As we left the rest stop, the weather appeared to be clearing and most Cab owners had put their tops down.

W
hat do a can, a donut, and a paper clip have in common? Read on and you will find out! We had another strong turnout of 21 cars and 35 people for our one day trip to Palo Pinto. We had quite a number of first time tour participants, which is always good to see. With the exception of the Porsche 550, I think we had just about all Porsche models represented. The weather forecast called for partly cloudy, low 90’s for the high, and a 20% chance of isolated showers. It must be great to be a meteorologist…. no matter what happens you are covered!
Andy Miller and Ted Glover investigating the broken 914 in the rain. the car. With the car pulled over safely and Ted helping, the group continued on to lunch. As we were then traveling west on 1188, we could see a huge rainstorm in the distance. What we did not realize is how quickly we would be in it. It was a true torrential downpour! With only about five minutes to go before lunch, I received a radio message that Jim Meyer’s 914 engine just literally stopped as we were driving along. The Chadwicks led the tour to the restaurant and I went back to assist Jim. He had called his mechanic in Plano and diagnosed the problem as a faulty ignition switch. Jim asked if we had a paper clip and, fortunately, we did. I have no idea what he did with that paper clip but he got the car running and then headed back to his home in Plano.

By late morning, everyone was getting a little hungry so we headed for lunch. As we were driving on 281 North to lunch, Mark Vaughan had a tire blow out (The tire had all of 300 miles on it). Ted Glover again came to offer assistance and they put the spare (donut) on

After lunch, we took a shortened tour back home because of the bad weather. We crossed our fingers that some other calamity not befall us! Despite the car issues, we had a great morning drive and hope you can join us on the next tour. Hey, the odds of no car problems have to be in our favor! Now you know what a can, donut, and a paper clip have in common….they are .all solutions to our car problems!

Finally we were all in Thurber, Texas at the Smokestack Restaurant. Thurber is about 40 miles west of Weatherford on I-20. If you have never been there, you might want to check it out. It has an interesting past having once been a company-owned coal town with a population of over 20,000 in 1910. However, within 20 years, all of the people had left, all of the company-owned buildings were sold and moved, and Thurber became a ghost town. There is a museum about Thurber across from the restaurant that is very well done.
A scenic place to stop for a photo op.
Another good stopping point.

Idle Corner by James Shoffit

aughan Garrett used to write an article for Slipstream that just had some random thoughts or ideas in it. It has been a while since we have seen one, so I asked him if I could take over for a while. I seem to have plenty of random things to say! My daily driver for the past 7 years has been a 1990 911 C4 Cabriolet. But a few months ago, my radio went out. At first I was very frustrated about it, and missed the daily chatter and music that I enjoyed on my 26 mile (each way) commute to and from work. But then I started appreciating the music coming from behind me from that wonderful flat six. So next time you drive your Porsche, turn off the radio, turn off the air conditioning, roll down the windows, and enjoy! Accelerate through a few corners and fall in love all over again!

Photo Rallying Family Fun by Werner Foltz
T
parked on the other side of it boxing it in making it impossible to be seen, and pondered just leaving the car there, but Jackie forced me to be fair and pointed out that we already had a secret weapon - Jillian. She was the first in the car to spot about 25% of the items, and she had a blast doing it. We finished after 1 hour, and gave our entry to Wendy and waited for the results to be announced. We were pretty sure we had a 100% score, but there were others who had finished early also. Finally the announcement came that there were 2 teams with perfect scores, ours and none other than former Zone 5 Rep., Jan Mayo, and her teammate, Linda Bambina, (both generally acknowledged as fierce competitors). So it came down to a sudden death runoff, comprised of more detailed questions about the items: How many wine tasting rooms are there in Grapevine? What type of butterfly was on a particular statue, etc. We guessed 1 answer better than Jan and Linda and the victory was ours, Jillianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Porsche Club event victory.
Photo by Charlie Davis
he last time Jackie and I participated in a rally was several years ago. We competed a few times each year in the novice class of Time Speed Distance (TSD) rallies. Then in 2001 we had a 9 pound life changing experience named Jillian who put a stop to our rallying days. The inside of a rally car is no place for small children - or for that matter, people who want to stay married - but we always managed to keep the fun in it. And so when we saw the ad for a "Photo Rally", our interest was piqued, and after a phone call verifying that 4 year olds were not forbidden by the rules, we were set to go.
We arrived in downtown Grapevine, paid our fee ($5.00) and received our packet of instructions - a stack of papers each with 3 or 4 photographs, and a question under each photo. The task was to find the items in the photo, and thereby find the answers to the questions. All of the items were within a 10 or so block area that is roughly downtown Grapevine, and there was a time limit of 2 hours after which everyone would meet back at Willhoiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant on Main Street.
Photo by Charlie Davis
Grapevine was thus transformed into a rat race of Porsches, zigzagging around town, following and being followed. Most of the items were related to the interesting history of Grapevine. Some were easy to find - a water tower the statue on top of city hall - but some were much harder, not even visible from the road. All of them required that you get out of the car to read something to be able to answer the question. One of the clues was a hand operated water pump, and a non-participant car had parked directly beside it. I

Post Parade Party at Willoiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s By Dee Lersch

ost of us recognize the BIG Maverick events: Club Race, Founders' Day Dinner, the Holiday Party, the New Member Party, any Happy Hour, and, of course, each month when the Slipstream comes out! There are other equally colorful, if smaller, gatherings: the fall Round Up, the Swap Meet, and the first dinner social after Parade. This year's Post Parade dinner social was held at Willhoite's in Grapevine, a colorful Texas eatery that once was a garage (how appropriate.) More than three dozen Mavericks and visitors attended and we enjoyed a delightful mix of post-Parade, post-Photo Rally, what-we-did-this-summer chatter against a Parade slide show backdrop.
Ed and Tracey Gross
Good food, good friends, GRAND memories. I hope you were there.

Wendy Shoffit had organized an all-you-can-eat Texas Country Buffet, complete with steak and shrimp, accompanied by bowls of Hershey chocolate. The center piece at our table was the HUGE trophy that Wendy was honored with at Parade as the Porsche Club of America 2004 Enthusiast of the Year. Dave and Jean Frick brought (and gave away) more of those beautiful German and Bavarian Oktoberfest banners they had at May at Mayo's.
