Prez Says by James Shoffit, Maverick Region President Well, it is about time for me to move back to the Maverick Region. For the past few months I have been working Monday through Thursday in Washington, DC. I have finally landed a contract a bit closer to home. I am not sure who is the most excited about me being back in town, but hopefully my whole family will benefit. I should be able to start attending the Happy Hours again, too! I have missed a few since I have been out of town. At the post-Parade recap dinner meeting, we had a special guest visiting with us – Dennis Frick, the Parade Competition Rules Chairman. I got a chance to talk to him for a while before dinner, and we discussed how to start a Concours d’Elegance program in a region that is not very active in that respect. He gave me a few good ideas on where to get started so look for some events coming up soon. If YOU have any suggestions or think this is a good or a bad idea, let me know! Send me email at james@shoffit.com. The next BIG event coming up will be Roundup September 7th through 9th (See ad at right). This is a multievent weekend that will encompass a fun, low-stress Concours; a fun, low-stress Rally; a fun, low-stress Driving contest (a Gymkhana, not an Autocross), and fun, low-stress Tech Quiz. (Is a pattern forming?) Roundup will be at Fossil Rim Wildlife Park again this year, which was an absolute blast last year. And this is one of the best events for bringing your kids along. There are a million things for them to do and see, and they will remember it for a lifetime. This will probably be the last year Roundup will be at this location (for a while) so hurry and sign up!
PRINTER OF SLIPSTREAM SINCE 1982
We are also having another autocross at Standridge on September 16th. Let’s see how many people we can get out there now that it SHOULD be cooling off some. Ah, the joys of autocrosses with running water and real bathrooms! This will be our last autocross of the season (there is still one more Time Trial at Mineral Wells on October 6). The following weekend of September 22nd and 23rd will be the Drivers Education event out at MotorSport Ranch. Feel free to join us and watch, even if you aren’t going to be driving in it. The biggest event (financially for sure) of the year is the annual Club Race. This year it will be at Texas Motor Speedway and will be an event you don’t want to miss. We have been planning it for several years now and are getting very excited as the date approaches. Circle the weekend of October 12th through 14th, and contact Wendy at wendy@shoffit.com if you would be interested in helping out (please!). There will also be a Drivers Ed event which will give Blue thru Red solo participants a chance to drive the big track that the American Le Mans drivers have broken in for us. See Keith Olcha (olcha@aol.com) for more details on that. There’s still plenty to do this year, so come on out and join the fun!

Pam’s Page by Pam Abdalla, Slipstream Editor It’s been awhile since I’ve written about Mikayla. She’s 15 months old now and becoming extremely independent. Except, of course, when she’s hungry or tired, then she clings to me like a baby orangutan. It’s funny how her demeanor changes depending on her surroundings or the time of day. She certainly shows her personality during the late afternoon hours, especially when daddy comes home. That is the time of day when I become invisible and her only focus is on him. Yes, I can spend all day tirelessly playing toddler games, reading stories, feeding her, giving her baths, and soothing her bumps and bruises, but as soon as daddy walks in the door, I am about as popular as the nurse who gives her shots at the doctor’s office. Oh
well. Now I know where my mom was coming from when she said, “You kids never appreciate all I do for you!” I can hear me now, when Mika is a teenager and telling me how unfair and uncool I am being. You know, all those classic teenager phrases we all used once and I will say to her, “You don’t appreciate all I’ve done for you!” And of course, I will freak out because I’ll realize then that I sound, yikes, just like my mother. Mika will then storm out of the room and run right up to her dad and ask him for the same favor she just asked me. He will, of course, give in because she will still have him wrapped around her finger. This will also undoubtedly be the reason she will drive a Porsche instead of something, say, more practical for a teenager. Ahh, the joys of motherhood. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Maverick Minutes by Andy Mears, Maverick Region Secretary The first item on the agenda for the August Board Meeting was an explanation by Maverick Region president, James Shoffit, on how the board meeting minutes will be reported in the future. We have always recorded minutes at each meeting and usually only published a “summary” version of the minutes in Slipstream. We will continue to publish the summary minutes as always and produce a detailed minutes report that will be distributed to board and committee members as well as general members that request a copy. The primary reason for this duplication of minutes is due to the many and often overlapping events and activities within Maverick Region (MR). It is vital that the complete record of minutes be distributed or made available to all board, committee and regular members that may not have been able to attend the board meeting. The scheduling committee will be working to build a tentative schedule for next year, this includes autocross (AX), time trials (TT), driver education (DE) and club racing events as well as the social events throughout the year. The process needs to start soon so that we can coordinate our events with other regions as well as with PCA national. If you have any suggestions or comments on how events were scheduled this year please contact Wendy Shoffit. All suggestions are welcome and encouraged. Acting Equipment Coordinator, Charlie Davis, gave his report on what equipment he will be coordinating. It turns out that the club has lots of stuff, which is in the process of being tagged and counted so as to provide the club with a detailed record of what we own. If you happen to have anything that is the property of
Maverick Region, such as a pylon that got wedged in your front spoiler at the last driving event, let Charlie know. Wendy reported on the great success of the last AX and TT events. She also brought up the issue of giving refunds to people that prepaid for events but did not participate. After a lengthy discussion on the topic, a motion was passed that the club would not provide refunds to people who prepaid for AX and TT events and did not show-up for the event. Round-up chair, Teri Davis, reported that there is room available for more participants and to contact her if you want to participate. This round-up will have plenty of activities for everyone, especially children. Contact Teri for more details or to get signed up. Mimi Spreen reported on the plans for Maverick Region Founders’ Day, which is scheduled for November 10 at the Orndorf House in Highland Village. Watch for more details in upcoming issues of Slipstream. The nominating committee is looking for anyone interested in getting involved in management at board level. Please contact any of the current or past board members if you’d like to be considered for nomination, or to find out more information about the positions. Brian Scudder gave an update on the MR Club Race, scheduled for October 12-14, and was already getting applications for the event. Workers and volunteers are still needed to help this important club-sponsored event run smoothly. If you would like to learn more about club racing then contact Wendy Shoffit. After a few more minor topics of discussion the board meeting was brought to a close at 8:40 p.m.
Maverick Region PCA board meetings are held once a month. The board meetings are open to all PCA members and their suggestions and opinions are welcome . . . . . . and there’s FREE Pizza!!! 6

Help Me Get Better...So I can Beat You! AX #4 by Rocky Johnson Imagine the coach of the Dallas Cowboys asking the coach of Washington for a few pointers on how to beat the Redskins, or Mike Modano, of the Stars asking the opposing teams goalie for tips on how to score on him. Fat chance! However, in the wonderful world of Maverick PCA, that sort of thing happens on a regular basis -- it's called the Developing Driver Class. The idea is simple...in A/X schools, DE's, and at actual events, experienced drivers help the novices improve so that someday they might (I emphasize might) have a shot at beating their instructor in an actual A/X, time trial, etc. Although the concept is simple, the execution is complex, fun, sometimes confusing, and always helpful. As you might imagine, some instructors are more effective teaching behind the wheel, some in the passenger seat, and others simply explaining the theory of how to go faster. At times, the input even appears contradictory. However, every time you come away with something that helps you be a better driver. Since I personally started at ground zero, any pointers I could pick up were a definite plus. From my first A/X school with Mike Lockas, to the recent A/X and time trials with Graham Lane, it's been a constant learning experience. In between, I've had great help from Chris Amond, Charlie Davis, Bob Glowacki, Keith Olcha, and Brian Scudder. I'm sure there are others I've neglected to mention, but thanks to all of you! The results have been gratifying. Of the timed events I've entered this year, I've been fortunate enough to have the lowest Developing Driver time in three of the four events, and I would have at least have been competitive in my class(S7).
Rocky Johnson
Eric Erz
If anyone out there has been holding back entering these events because they are inexperienced, worried about looking foolish, or asking "dumb" questions, let me encourage you to wait no longer. You could not possibly be any more of a beginner that I was. Everyone who has helped me has shown great patience, knowledge, and courage (after all, they can't push the brake pedal). With luck, someday I hope to be as much help to others as they have been to me. Now, let me now tell you a little about my adventure at the Autocross #4 at Mineral Ring. The course was designed by Shawn Collenburg and to say it was a challenge is a significant understatement! I have no idea what the record is for DNF's on a course, but my guess is this one has to be near the top. Speaking from personal experience (two DNF's), corner #2 seemed to be especially mystifying. My only consolation is that several of the old pros (you know who you are) seemed to be having just as much trouble as I was. I guess this falls into the "misery loves company" category.
Cody Sears
If the weather was blistering, and it surely was, the competition was just as heated. Cody Sears set the pace, followed closely by Keith Olcha. As expected, Shawn Collenburg did well on his own course, with the third best time. Kevin Hardison kept the contest for top time of the day in doubt right up until his last run. In spite of the hot competition, there was the usual spirit of cooperation that you expect at any Maverick event. Everyone was reminding everyone else to use lots of sunscreen and to stay "hydrated". (For the old-timers, that means drinking lots of water). A special thank you goes out to the Dugans for the wonderful, ice cold watermelon they provided at the end of the event! 10

Behind the Scenes At Parade by Lanean Hughes “Oh my gosh we don’t have a seat for Peter Porsche”, “No don’t give away the Pirelli tires, this is the Yokohama banquet!”, “What, we have no T-shirts for the Walk/Run?” “When did you send the napkins for the hospitality room?” “No more rooms for sleeping? But we thought you were handling that”. I now have joined the national ranks and serve on the Public Relations Committee along with Carter Dunkin of the St. Louis Region. He and I were basically overwhelmed with our new jobs, but we came through with just a few bruises, seats for everyone, meals for everyone, and rooms for everyone (of course, thanks to Connie Waltrip). It is certainly an eye opener to be on the other side, working diligently to make this Parade the best.
My heartfelt thanks to the national staff, local staff, and all the others that work (and I mean WORK) to give the Porsche customer the best in entertainment, goodie store, food, rooms, etc. so they can have something wonderful to keep as a memory. It is the result of many hours of tireless effort from a group of individuals who work 2 to 3 years to give you the best Parade possible. I felt privileged to to be part of this great event, and even though no “trophy” came home with me, my trophies were in the wonderful friends both new and old, and the memories that will not tarnish. As for next year, I hope to see you all in Boise!

Concours on Lake Michigan by Ed Mayo So, what are the two most likely situations that could occur at a Parade Concours? How about rain and a busy protest committee? Well we had both! Luckily, the rain only fell during the early pre-dawn hours, but for a while it looked like the protests might go until the next day’s pre-dawn hours. The protests came from the 356 classes largely because they’re so perfect that the only trivia left to worry about is whether Hans (when the car was first built) put the screw slots vertical or horizontal. The concours site was a beautiful city park built on landfill jutting out into Lake Michigan. All the cars (race cars included) had to drive the two miles from the concours prep lot through downtown Milwaukee to the site. Since the concours was on Sunday, the streets were virtually deserted. I should have entered the Cockroach just for the opportunity to rip through downtown Milwaukee in a race car unmolested!
Lake Michigan makes quite a backdrop for this Boxster.
Ah yes, the weather. To the Yankees, it was what they call summer. However, as I kept telling the locals while shivering in my windbreaker, “We call this winter!” Fortunately, it was very sunny – sunny enough to sunburn the top of my bald head. (I keep forgetting I have to wear hats now!) The turnout was very good; I believe about 150 cars were on the grass for judging. Participation has improved since the creation by the PCR (Parade Competition Rules) committee of
A very patriotic 911.
911’s all lined up for inspection.
Preservation and Restoration classes along with Touring categories. (In Touring, the underside of the car isn’t judged.) The intention was to bring more real cars out to be displayed; cars that are actually driven and used. Our own John Halla drove his 944 Turbo to Milwaukee, cleaned it, and entered the concours. I believe he took first place in his class. A lesser-seen Maverick member from Longview, Jim Valenti, also brought his car out and took first in his class. Placing in class aside, the important point here is that they both participated. That is the best way to enjoy Parades. I judged again this year in the early 911 Preservation Class. I’m enjoying this quite a bit, as it is not a dirt hunt. Presentation is still important, of course, but the cleanest car doesn’t necessarily win. Originality, mileage (higher is better), length of ownership, and whether you drove or trailered to Parade are all important criteria. This year’s winner was a 1967 911 with over 90,000 miles, original paint, driven to Milwaukee from Vermont, and owned by the entrant for 27 years. The more of this I do, the more I want to learn even more detail about how our favorite cars are built. I’m convinced factory workers spend lunch hours trying to figure different ways of assembling our cars because they know 30 years later we’ll be going crazy trying to understand and document what they did!

Future Porsche Owners by Lanean Hughes When asked to chair the kid activities at Milwaukee Parade, I was so excited to have the challenge and thought, “Let’s make this a real kid-friendly Parade.” We did just that! The wonderful volunteers from all over the country, especially the great Zone 5 folks, were there to help orchestrate a “Run What You Brung” Kid autocross. Michelin Tire was our sponsor and provided the Michelin Man to start the race. Other members of the Michelin Team were there to support our Tech-Meister, Eric Erz. Wendy Shoffit and Karen Erz were in charge of registration. Jan Mayo and Peter Kendig (Coastal Bend) designed a fun, yet a little bit challenging, course. Cindy Kendig (Coastal Bend) and Susan Fleming (Sacramento Region) assisted with start/finish.

Approximately 100 people, which included very excited parents, watched the 39 Future Porsche Owners take their open wheel race cars, bikes, trikes, roller blades, feet and strollers to the limit and vie for “Top Time Of Day.” Everyone was a winner, however, and awards were presented at the Autocross Banquet held at the Milwaukee Zoo (so fitting)! Many thanks to Michelin, our sponsor, PCNA for the wonderful awards, and to the many parents and friends for making this a memorable event for the kids.

The Pig Returns! by Taxi Breithaupt For all of you "new kids" in the club, let me tell you about The Pig. Don and I joined the Maverick Region in 1987. We attended many events and always enjoyed the Founder's Day Awards Banquet even though we never won a driving award. During Bob Knight's reign as Prez, he took pity on us and presented us with the Piggy Award. Piggy Award? Well, we didn't autocross or race and quite often were "dead last, but finished" in the rallies, but by golly, we attended every dinner meeting. Then came my term as vice-president and the Piggy Award competition was established. Cards were handed out and credit given for each dinner meeting attended, cocktail hour optional. Once Miss Piggy (aka Linda Bambina) heard about this, she rearranged her busy schedule in order to fly in from Hollywood and be the presenter for this prestigious porky award. This continued for several years then gasp - Piggy disappeared. Oh, what a sad story. The Pigster has been in and out of fat farms for the past few years. We are happy to report all is well, he looks great and is ready to join in the Maverick festivities once again. H. Peter Pig, "Piggy" to his friends spent part of the summer with Teri and Charlie Davis and asked if he could ride with them to the Milwaukee Parade. Well, it turns out he had a great time at Parade and didn't even gain a pound! Watch out: The Pig has returned!

Heard The West Calling Gimmick Rally By Richard and Juanita Miller They heard the call of the rally and they answered. Eighteen teams arrived at the Heard Museum in McKinney to take part in the Heard the West Calling rally. Seventeen teams made it to the barbecue and beer at the finish. The team of Ken and Blake Perry had to call it a day early due to co-driver illness. Entrants were equally split between the Maverick Region of the PCA and Texas region of the SCCA. Several teams actually belong to both clubs but there was even one team that did not belong to any organized club. I think they were Democrats. (For those of you who may take offense at this, this joke was stolen from Will Rogers.) The course wound through Collin County over to the shores of Lake Lavon and then back inland to Garland. Scoring opportunities were from street signs along the route. As the radio show "What Do You Know" says, all questions were extensively researched. The answers however, were not. Special thanks to Eric Erz of the Porsche Club for putting his car out to serve as one answer, while the Miller's also put their rally car out as another answer. Juanita will take credit for the beautiful course, but Richard gets the blame for the puns in the answers. The winning team of Rocky Johnson and Ed Clifford scored 109 points out of a possible 112. Second, third and fourth places were all tied at 107 points each. Terri Cummings and Andy Anderson took the second place trophy home on the basis of the first tie breaker in that they remembered that Bessie Heard lived to the ripe old age of 101. Charlie and Teri Davis got the third place trophy by running clean (without error) longer than Shannon and Marsha DeWolfe who ended up in fourth.

Teams entered from Fort Worth and Weatherford to the west and from Jacksonville in east Texas. There were entrants from McKinney where the rally started and from Garland where the rally ended. But the long distance award has to go to Kevin McNamara who lists his address as Boston, Massachusetts. Special thanks to the staff of the Heard Museum who put up with us and provided the questionnaire that counted for 19 possible points. Of course, the questionnaire was aimed at 4th grade and up which did put it slightly beyond the intellectual level of most of us sports car nuts. 1965 Mini of Grover Maurer. Note this car has a full roll cage and has been raced in Vintage.

Happy Hour at Stone Trail by Jay Easley July found the Maverick Region Happy Hour Tour stopping at Stone Trail restaurant in North Dallas. Stone Trail has an impressive word-of-mouth reputation in Dallas as a fine steakhouse and I was looking forward to sampling their menu with my fellow region members. In keeping with the new tradition started by Dennis and Tinker the previous month, I attempted to “acquire” a celebrity guest for the evening but alas, both William Shatner and David Hasselhoff had scheduling conflicts that prevented them from coming. They send their regrets to the Region. I’ve attended almost all the Region’s happy hours and one of the great things about them is the number of new faces every month. Sure, there’s a core group of 5-10 people who are always there, but the other 10-20 attendees are almost always new. And this is a good thing. It’s always great to see new members, or old members who haven’t been by in awhile. Happy hours are a great way to introduce people to the Club in a relaxed, comfortable setting.
The Happy Hour Crew: Dennis Chamberlain (co-chair), Tinker Edwards (chair) & Ben Witry (co-chair)
Stone Trail is in a large strip shopping center with plenty of parking (a must for a car club meeting) and has the usual Valet parking for those of you who like to pay someone else to drive your expensive German sports car. Inside, it is dark with faux wood paneling adorning the walls. The bar area was spacious and decently stocked. The Stone Trail staff was kind enough to provide the happy hour crowd with complimentary fruit and roasted chicken trays that I thought were a nice touch. These were devoured quickly by the Region’s starving members after a hard day’s work. After much chatting and visiting, it was time for steak, which was great. I had the Bone-in Ribeye with Bourbon Peppercorn Sauce and it was truly outstanding. It was very flavorful and on par with the steaks at a previous happy hour stop, Trulucks. I’m afraid I deeply offended the wait staff by ordering Coke with my steak, however, and I have probably been banned from Stone Trail forever. All in all, it was a nice evening experience with fellow Region members and Porsche fans! Come out and enjoy the next one!

The July Porsche Driving Experience at TMS By Hill Bullock The Porsche Driving Experience, in conjunction with Park Place Porsche, held a two-day driving school at Texas Motor Speedway on the weekend of July 28 and 29. Instructors included such notables as “Doc” Bundy of SpeedVision fame, Jeff Purner, and John Paul, Jr. The school did not bring their 996s along for students to drive; instead everyone used their own cars, but then the cost was a good bit less than it is normally when 996s are provided. Park Place was gracious enough to provide Boxsters for the instructors to use, as well as for a few prospective clients. Using our own cars worked out quite well actually, as it allowed students to explore the limits of their cars, and to “bum” rides from others in order to get a little variety. I managed to convince a very nice lady to let me ride in her 996 TT a few times. Wow, does that car scoot! In my own case, I had just purchased a set of Yokohama DOT R-compound tires and was anxious to try them.

The Saturday session began with some classroom instruction, which was followed by instructor-led track time on the TMS infield and various driving exercises (auto-cross, slalom, thresh-hold braking, heel-n-toe practice) in the large TMS parking area. We enjoyed a delicious lunch in the Speedway Club while enjoying a fantastic view of the entire stadium. The Saturday infield sessions were kept to moderate driving, with instructors frequently hopping between cars and leading the pack around multiple times to help people find the line. The parking lot exercises were a bit more exciting, as it involved lots of tires squealing and loss of control. Of course, that was exactly the intention, as the instructors encouraged everyone to find, exceed, and remember the limits of their cars in this very controlled environment. Gridding.

The Sunday session was primarily oriented towards TMS infield track time. As most folks are aware, Park Place Porsche generously donated a number of tickets to the Sunday session, which Maverick Region proceeded to raffle off for charity. As a result, the number of familiar faces increased on Sunday, with ticket raffle ‘winners’ Wendy Shoffit, Kay Leibel, John Hrad, Bill Kasdorf and Doug Molny all in attendance. John Hrad took the opportunity to debut his new Guards Red 996, which he had spent the past week furiously preparing. Also in attendance were Lanean Hughes, George Abdalla, Bob Everson, and James Shoffit, who came just to watch the fun. Sunday’s activities included a short classroom session for folks who hadn’t been in Saturday’s session, followed by plenty of opportunity to get on the track and run it hard. The instructors were great, the lessons very informative, and the smile-factor was sky high. I had my first real experience with heel-ntoe, a skill I have been trying to get started on for some time. I was pleased with the progress I made, managing quite a few reasonably smooth transitions; intermixed, of course, with plenty of mistakes. If you have the time and the inclination, the PDE schools provide a great forum for improving your driving skills and having a wonderful time discovering why people love to drive Porsches, and love to drive them fast. The best part was I managed to end my day Sunday with just enough gas to make it to the gas station a block away. That is what I call running for all it is worth!

Sensing by Charlie Davis A little voice inside mentioned something about the hour as I left home, headed for the MineralRing and the 4th Time Trial. It was before 6:30 AM on a cool, clear Saturday morning...at least it was cool then...it would be HOT later in the day. I needed an answer for the voice. In less than a 1/4 mile I drove around a switch-back in the road, dropped down to cross a small creek, and drove through a canopy of trees that overhung the road. There were nice country fragrances everywhere. I had it: "It's nice early in the morning, with the top off and the windows down!" As I drove to the track, I went through several more creek beds and each time, the air temperature dropped several degrees. Even in the hot summer, it was almost cold. Coupled with that, was an indescribable aroma...green, wet, and mysterious...almost primal. This is why I like an open Porsche...one without an air conditioner! I wonder if others are experiencing this sensual bonanza in their cars this morning? Certainly there must be quite a few Porsches on the road, going the same way. When I got to the Ring, I rode with Rocky Johnson in his Boxster. Although I was supposed to be showing him where Course #3 went, we instead talked about how beautiful the early morning summer weather was and I described my sensory experiences as I drove out that morning. He said he had also experienced the same thing as he drove out top down. Besides, Rocky was not having problems finding the course. Somehow, you miss a lot when you drive in isolation. Most of my other cars are ones that we just get in, leave the A/C on, and drive to town. In the summer, it's hard to choose to pass up modern comforts, like A/C. But it's often worth it! For the last 3 years, Teri and I have driven to the Parade in the 914...in the summer...without A/C. It IS hot, but we compensated by starting early and not driving in the really hot part of the afternoon...when it gets hot, we find a motel with a pool! But there are some positive things about this approach. This year, on the way to Milwaukee, it was some flowers along the roads in Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. We first really noticed them in Iowa, because we noticed (and loved) the sweet smell as we passed a big patch of these flowers on a slope adjacent to the highway. The aroma was hard to describe. My best description (one which doesn't do the smell justice) was that it was similar to some fabric softener sheets? These banks are too steep to mow, so the states tend to leave them as un-mowed areas and several varieties of wild flowers seem to thrive there. Heck, the highway departments may plant them there? They do in Texas. If we had been in an air conditioned car, we would never have noticed the aroma of the flowers. They were not that physically beautiful...sort of a white/pink/purple little wild flower. Never did find out what the flower was...but we are still researching it with a friend who lives in Des Moines. Remember the movie, "The Bridges of Madison County"? We got hungry in Madison County, Iowa. We left the main highway and drove a few miles off it into St. Charles, Iowa, which is the self-proclaimed gateway to these "bridges". There was one 22
right there in town. We didn't stop to investigate the bridge because it was lunch time and we were really hungry. Driving through beautiful, downtown St. Charles, we didn't notice any restaurants. But we smelled one! We drove around for a while, taking into account the wind direction, looking for that restaurant. The whole downtown section of St. Charles wasn't that big...maybe 10 blocks long and 2-3 blocks the other way. We drove the entire thing several times. Never did see a "Restaurant", "Cafe", or similar sign. Still, we could smell FOOD! Finally, Teri noticed some local people leaving a building with a satisfied look on their faces and suspected that it was a place to get food. We parked in front and looked inside. Yep, it was that restaurant we had been smelling. Seems that they were only 2 days old and their sign hadn't gotten there yet. The food was good and they asked us how we liked it. We love small town America! We never would have found them in our other cars, because we would have had the A/C on. That little restaurant (it had only ONE table inside...their patio hadn't been built yet either) wasn't air conditioned either...but there was a fan and real people inside. Discover America. Take the back roads when possible. Get lost? Meet real people. Turn the A/C off. Roll down the windows and take off your top if you can. Smell things. Feel things. Experience sensory overload?

ALMS At The Point by Bill Stafford Well, if you’ve been paying attention to the ALMS this year, then you know that the works Audi R8 team in the Le Mans Prototype (LMP) class has been kicking booty pretty regularly. No different at Sears Point July 20th and 21st. The Audi team showed up with their NEW fuel injection (read fuel efficient here) for their twin turbo 3.6 liter V-8’s that they used to win with at the Le Mans 24. In a bit of a head game, they also ran with the SAME engines they ran at Le Mans. According to the PR, because the race in France was in the rain, they didn’t go as far mileage wise and the engines were still good to go! I love these guys’s!! The only serious competition for the Audi’s came from the Panoz LMP 01’s. After Le Mans, Panoz sent their new car, the LMP 07’s, back for further development (read Turkey here). So last year’s earth shaking 6 liter V-8’s made by the good ole boys at Robert Yates NASCAR shop went thundering around, pleasing the crowd, scaring small children and basically polluting the planet. Lest I forget, there was also a Lola Judd V-10, which sounded really sweet and was piloted by ex Women’s Global GT driver Milka Duno, and TWO Cadillac/Cadillac’s in the class. The race was an Audi blowout for the 11th time in a row, but I really think that if the Panoz’ had vented their exhaust to the rear, they could have gained 10 miles per hour. Cadillac managed to maintain their strangle hold in the rolling roadblock category to finish 12th overall (12 laps down for the 2 1/2 hour race) but the cars had really nice paint and the Crews’ costumes were really clean. The Lola-Judd finished in13th. Although there is a class in the ALMS series for LMP’s with smaller engines, there were only two entries and nobody cares. The GTS category only had 5 entries with two C5R Corvettes, two Vipers and a Saleen S7R. The Corvettes came in 1st and 2nd with the Saleen in 3rd. The Saleen looked liked it had a shot at winning, but the crew anticipated a different track temperature and chose a tire compound that melted early.
Esperante’s all vying for the “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” honors. If you follow the series, you know that Paul Gentilozzi (Jag) and Brian Simo (Mangusta) usually duke it out. No difference here. Simo led most of the race and due to flawless pit work, managed to withstand a last lap charge from Gentilozzi. Between the big races, there was an IMSA GTP Historic race. It’s been a while since the track has seen the likes of the big thumpers. There was a Porsche 935K, Porsche 962, Porsche 934.5 (really, a 934.5!), Chevron B19 and 36, Sauber C4, Osella PA6, Lola T160 and a really stunning Lola T600. Almost all of them were able to make 1 lap of the 1-hour race. Oh well, when you only run a race every 10 years or so and have to make your own parts. My Ninja Pit Rat was so busy talking trash to her Driver friends that she didn’t get any juicy news – at least that we can print. All in all the weekend was great. If you get a chance to get to the Point, do it.
A crowd at turn 2.
The only class that was congested was the GT class. There were 12 entries of which 8 were Porsches’ and 4 were BMW’s. The Bimmers were the new M3 GTR with the 450 hp V8. The Porsches’ were the GT3R’s and the GT3RS’ now starting to get old. The new Bimmers are definitely fast. They can out drag the GT3’s and are really balanced in the turns. The four BMW’s finished ahead of Alex Job’s GT3RS which also finished ahead of the Cadillac LMP. The X Factor World Challenge Touring Car Race had so many entries that they ran it in 2 races. The first race for the Touring Class sedans ended with the closest finish ever, or so everyone thought. The runner up was disqualified the following day after it was discovered that his camshaft was “just a bit outside” the stock configuration for a BMW 328i. So the 0.059 sec margin of victory was thrown out and no one talked about it anymore. Another Bimmer bummer was a 328i disqualified for illegal fuel. Everyone else ran legal. Results were Bimmer 328i, Acura, Acura (the Acura’s have finally been “awarded” enough extra weight to reduce their dominance in the class). The second race was for the larger horsepower GT cars such as the Porsches’ 911GT3 Cup cars, BMW M3’s, Audi S4’s, Corvettes and the points leader Peter Cunningham’s Acura NSX. Johannes Van Overbeek in his Porsche Cup car captured his first World Challenge win in 4 years. This win moves Porsche ahead in the Manufacturers Championship points 40-36 over Audi. A BMW M3 was second followed by a C5 Corvette. For the Trans-Am race where EVERYONE runs legal, the day started with a parade across the Golden Gate Bridge, probably really chapping the EPA. It has been 6 years since the Trans-Am has run at the Point and there are a lot of newcomers to the sport. There were several Qvale Mangustas, a couple of Jaguar XKR’s and Panoz
