SPROCKETS: Maverick Region National Awards by David Robertson, Region President The Porsche Parade was quite an event this year for the Maverick Region. As you may have heard, our region received five national awards: Region of the Year, Greatest Actual Membership Growth, Best Website, Best Newsletter in class, and Best Newsletter Cover. This national recognition is a direct result of the enthusiasm and dedication of our 3000-plus primary and

associate members and volunteers. This is only the second time in the history of our region that we have been recognized as Region of the Year. The membership award is also a big honor; this award is given to the region with the largest membership increase in all of North America in 2018. I also want to congratulate Bill Orr for his great work on our website, resulting in the National Website Award. This

There is a palpable excitement at our events within the region, and our event chairs are coming up with even more ways for our members to enjoy our club. Come out and catch the excitement at our next event!

is the third time Bill has won a national PCA award for the Maverick website! The quality of Slipstream only gets better every year, and this is reflected in both the First Place in Class VI (regions over 1,650 members) and the Best Newsletter Cover award. Congratulations to Kurt Scaggs and Jim Hirsch! Putting the newsletter together every month is a monumental task, and we all appreciate your efforts. All our members, past and present, should take pride in the national attention that we have received for our great organization. The best way to learn more about the club and meet other members is to volunteer! Reach out to volunteers@mavpca. org and we will find you a spot!

MAV OF THE MONTH: Deborah Fike Deborah has been the Maverick Region Treasurer for the last two years. She is a great example of a member that has brought her deep career experience into a role that has a positive impact on the Maverick Region. Deborah worked to better identify our expenses and revenue, and took the accounting system online to make it more user friendly and available for oversight. Due to a move to Colorado, Deborah had to resign as the Region Treasurer, but worked very hard to make a seamless and conscientious transition to our interim Treasurer. Thank you, Deborah, for all of your work to make the Maverick Region more efficient, and enjoy your new home in beautiful Colorado! 2 September

Rust Belt Road Trip by Jim Hirsch “I want you to attend the Indy 500 with us this year.” When Mike O’Hare uttered those words back in October of 2018 the wheels were literally set in motion for this latest chapter in our series of long road trips that began with my retirement in December of 2013.

photos provided by author day road trip. This time we would be driving Sharon’s new Mazda CX-5 instead of the 981 Boxster S to have a car with more than two seats, so we could offer to drive groups of

In the midst of a conversation Mike and I were having about Indy Car racing last fall, I happened to mention that even though I lived in the Upper Midwest for 43 years, I had never made it over to Indianapolis to see the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” For those of you who know Mike and his generosity, you probably expected that he would issue an invitation to attend the race with him that he has attended dozens of times over many years. For me, the invitation came out of the blue, as I had intended to be just another TV viewer of the race again this year. So, I talked with Sharon about Mike’s offer, and her first words were “ballpark trip.” You see, Sharon’s most recent bucket list is attending baseball games in each of the 30 MLB ballparks. We were already up to 17 ballparks visited, and she quickly mapped out the fact that we could add four more to the list on this road trip to Indy if we simply extended our visit further east and north through the Rust Belt. Fortunately for me, she also agrees to visit automotive interests at each stop along the way. Let’s see -- one racetrack and four ballparks sounded like the best deal I was going to be able to get, so the stage was set, and we were more than ready to take to the roads on May 23 for the beginning of a 226 September

people at some of our planned stops. If you recall, the weather throughout the South and Midwest had been pretty much nonstop rain for much of May. In fact, on May 22, parts of Hwy 69 in Oklahoma were closed due to flooding, right along our preferred route. Fortunately, the road was open again the next morning, and we headed out to our first stop of Rolla, MO accompanied by water close to the shoulder of many roads we traveled. We were headed to Indy next, but can never resist a stop along any part of Route 66, so a quick detour to Cuba, MO to visit their famous murals was a must delay. We’d be arriving in Indianapolis by late afternoon and getting ready to see the big race. Mike’s sister lives in Indianapolis and is a big part of their family tradition of attending this race each year. She and her husband were gracious hosts throughout the entire race weekend and made us feel welcome to be back in the Midwest again.

Saturday of race weekend saw Mike, his son Ian, and me up early to visit the track before the big crowds arrived for the actual race on Sunday. There is no way to adequately describe the scale of the Indianapolis Speedway. Nor what it feels like to be part of 310,000 enthusiastic and knowledgeable race fans. Nor how an entire neighborhood, up to a mile and more away from the track, opens up their yards to fans to be able to park and walk to the race. This was a once in a lifetime experience for us, thanks to Mike! Next up: 12 days of travel around the Rust Belt to see four ballparks (and games), along with a variety of automotive points of interest. Our next stop was Cincinnati, the original home of professional

baseball. One common theme among all four cities we ended up visiting was their local initiatives to revitalize their downtown areas. Locating ballparks within the cities themselves provided focal points for new residences, restaurants, and retail. We stayed downtown in each city and explored what they had to offer over three days in each stay. For the auto enthusiast, Cincinnati offered the American Sign Museum as our choice. Even if you have never collected a neon sign from an old dealership or even a retail store, you’re sure to find signs here that you saw in your childhood, or if you’re a bit younger, have seen in historical articles! From Cincinnati, we headed next to Pittsburgh. PNC Park turned out to be our favorite ballpark of the trip. Views of the ballpark from the city, as well as views from the ballpark over the river were equally awesome, and the park itself feels just right for hosting baseball games. We took some time to visit the Carnegie Museums while we there (among many other things) and enjoyed a variety of displays that had ties to auto manufacturers. Heading north to Cleveland for our next stop included a stop for hiking in the Cuyahoga National Forest. It’s a nice break to stretch your legs during these road trips! Cleveland offered a selection of interesting restaurants and retail stores in their East 4th Street destination. For our automotive fix, we visited the Crawford Auto Aviation Collection. This eclectic collection includes almost 200 historic vehicles. We ended up seeing three of the GM EV1 electric vehicles on this road trip, including one in this collection. The final stop of the ballpark portion of the road trip was Detroit. Yes, there are many options for auto enthusiasts to visit while in Detroit

and we had to make some hard choices. The one place that deserves a day-long (or more) visit is The Henry Ford: Museum, Greenfield Village, and Rouge Factory. In a

scale similar to what we experienced at the Indianapolis Speedway, The Henry Ford complex is utterly massive and a challenge to visit each

display and not miss something. The “exploded” Model T certainly caught my eye in terms of the number of components used for this early production line process. The trip back towards Texas included some of the most interesting driving of our travel. Along the way to visit my sister in Iowa City, we had to stop at the World’s Largest Truck Stop in Walcott, IA. Yep, it makes Buc-ee’s look like small potatoes, from the full-size semi parked inside to the multi-level shopping and restaurant experience – all under a single roof. The most notable view while driving through Illinois and Iowa, however, was the very visible fact that no corn had been planted. The heavy rains had either kept farmers from being able to work in their fields or had washed away the early plantings that had gotten into the ground. Not a single stalk of corn was visible anywhere. We even planned a detour on the way back to Texas to spend some time in and around Eureka Springs. Those of you who travel on the backroads and have been to the PCA (Porsche) Palooza know how great the roads are north of Eureka Springs in Missouri as well as east, south, and west of ES while in Arkansas. We took the time to drive those over a few days in the “ZoomZoom” Mazda CX-5. No, it’s not the same as having the top down and in sport mode in the Boxster S but it’s a still a fun drive on roads we know well, such as the Pig Trail. The final day, day 22, saw an easy drive back to Texas. While this may have been a relatively small number of miles traveled compared with our typical road trips in the Porsche, the number of days on the road, along with the wide variety of stops and sights along the way, made this travel through the Rust Belt another great road trip memory. 7

Summer Poker Road Rallye Recap by Carey Spreen

photos by Tom Martin

First things first: you may be wondering what a Poker Rally is. Think of a mobile poker game, where the players (a driver and navigator team) are all driving a specified route instead of sitting at a table. The dealers are located somewhere along the route at three locations unknown to the players. As the players find each dealer location, they draw a playing card and then give it right back, noting what the card was (for example, the two

time at one-minute intervals. The only down side to this is that if you are car number 60, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to start until about an hour after the first car has started. So if car numbers are given out as competitors arrive, which is typical for Maverick Region rallies, it pays to arrive early! Fortunately, teams that had higher car numbers were at least able to browse the latest offerings in the Porsche Grapevine showroom while they waited!

of diamonds). The players also draw cards at the start and end points of the route, with each player ending up with a five-card hand. The winner, of course, has the best poker hand. But using mere poker hands to determine a winner leaves too much to chance and not enough to skill, so to make things more interesting, why not throw in some questions that can only be answered from signs and landmarks along the route? That was the idea that Rallymeisters Jay Lynch, Karen and Warren Horgan, Ed Martelle, and Jennifer Gerobode came up with for Maverick Regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest gimmick rally. The route this time began at Porsche Grapevine and ended at Eagles Canyon Raceway, about 15 minutes northeast of Decatur. Upon arrival at Porsche Grapevine, we all signed the insurance waiver, picked up the route instructions, and drew our first playing card. Since rallies are competitive events (but not races, because speed is not a factor), releasing all competitors at once might encourage rally teams to follow each other instead of following the route instructions. The traditional way to avoid this is to release one car at a

Anyway, with the General Instructions, the route instructions, our wristbands indicating that we had paid for the buffet lunch at the destination, and our first card drawn, we made our way to the start point, zeroed the trip odometer, and headed for parts unknown. That zeroing of the odometer was important because of two reasons: (1) the route instructions contained an odometer check that allowed each team to determine how close their odometer readings were to those of the Rallymeister, as some of the instructions contained mileages; and (2) if there were tie scores at the end of the event, the elapsed mileage closest to that of the Rallymeister determined the tiebreaker. Embedded within the route instructions were questions that referenced signs or landmarks along the route. Most questions were pretty cryptic and could not have been answered without actually driving the route and spotting the sign or landmark to which the questions referred. The questions were only valid until the next route instruction, so if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure a question out, you either continued on without answering, or doubled back to look for the answer again. The only penalty in

this case is that your odometer accumulates those extra miles driven, so it also pays to note the extra miles you put on while searching, and then subtract them from your total at the end! The route took us through two-lane roads west of the Metroplex that we had never seen, with the scenery varying from multi-million-dollar homes to horse ranches to blink-and-you-miss-them towns. After about 70 miles, the instructions delivered us to Eagles Canyon Raceway, where we had the opportunity to get in line for a couple of parade laps on the portion of the track that was almost complete. We signed another insurance waiver and added another wristband to our arms, and then we were off on the track.

To wrap up, Jay Lynch presented the awards to the winners:

1st Place: Nick and Shannon Frost 2nd Place: Wayne and Lauren Hutton 3rd Place: Paul and Lisa Barham Best poker hand: Bob Peipert and Kellie Houghton, with a Jacks over Queens Full House Overall, it was a fun event, and the mix of experienced rallyists and newcomers to rallying enjoyed a scenic drive, an interesting and Porsche-

Eagles Canyon Raceway has undergone extensive renovation under its new owner Livio Galanti and his team. The pavement is very smooth and wide, and when it’s done, the track will be 2/10-mile longer than its original 2.5-mile configuration. Can’t wait to try it out at our upcoming Drivers’ Education events this fall! After the parade laps, we got in line for the lunch buffet and found a place to sit in the drivers’ lounge. Livio welcomed us and gave a brief overview of the track construction progress.

Garages & Gearheads July Recap: Garages of Texas by Bill Middleton

photos provided by Author

Being semi-officially a member of the “retired old curmudgeons club,” and a lifelong gearhead, I can remember many different forms of shelter I’ve used for working on my various vehicles. Some of those memories are fond ones, like having a fully finished and conditioned garage with shop space in which I fully rebuilt both engine and transmission in my 1976 Datsun 280Z - and others less so, such as resetting loose ignition points in January, at night, outdoors, in Michigan, in the dark, by flashlight, in my first car, a 1961 Mercury Comet, so I could drive to college.

all things – a balcony? Oh, and let’s not forget plenty of wall space – two stories tall on both sides – for all those posters, memorabilia items, and pieces of taxidermy that either won’t fit in the house – or your spouse banned to the attic. Welcome to the world of purpose-built, architect-designed, professionally constructed garage spaces – and the brainstorm of Jack Griffin and Fred Gans. Now that my jaw is off the floor and reseated in my head, it’s time to start really taking in the scope and concept of what this is – a true “man cave” on more steroids than the entire

Enter today’s event, and cue up Handel’s Hallelujah chorus – but don’t drop the needle just yet (for those who remember phonographs – for those that don’t, ask someone with white hair) just have it cued right over the deadband on the record – and drive into Garages of Texas off Storey Road. At first one sees what appears to be just a set of large two-story gray storage buildings, each space fitted with a garage door and walk-in entry. OK, so far so good. We got here a little early, but the location is pretty clearly the spot – primarily from the whole lineup of P-cars all glistening in the sun along the first building. Once parked, the first stop was pretty obvious: follow the aroma of fresh coffee and donuts wafting from the reception space! Now fortified with caffeine and sugar, time to begin what I came here for: taking photos. I go back outside, start shooting, wandering around the building corner, following others back toward the lineup of Porsches that were seen from the road. Ah – an open bay door, and everyone seems to be headed in. I take a couple more shots down the row of cars, then turn into the door, and – OMG!!! (DJ, drop the needle on Handel’s masterwork please) “Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hal-le-lu-jah!!!!!!!!!” If this is a “garage,” there must have been some sort of transdimensional vortex at the entry, as this surely bears no relation to my understanding of “garage” – being of rough dirty concrete floors, no heat or air, dimly lit, a workbench of old delaminating particle board, and the occasional mouse for company. No – this has brilliant lighting, mirror finished floors, genuine millwork cabinetry, a real bathroom, and – of

NFL uses in a season, fully orchestrated around one purpose: serving the needs and desires of the individual who will use it as a place to keep their precious toys, work on them, admire them, share them with friends, have a private office there amongst his or her treasures – whatever the desire, it’s here. As I walk around I can see others with similar reactions – first the jaw agape stares, then the starry-eyed-kid-atChristmas look of “I WANT one!!!!” After a few minutes, we’re told that another space in the facility is open for viewing, so we head around the other side – and slam! We go from European sports cars and wood cabinets to American muscle cars, motorcycles, and life-size cutouts of Kiss, with the occasional samurai swords on the walls. It’s like cramming together a Route 66 diner, metal rock, high school auto shop, and Detroit iron all in one crazy, colorful place. The owner is gracious, very friendly, highly conversational, and clearly in heaven in HIS space surrounded by HIS stuff – how cool is that??? Thoroughly blown away, it’s time to walk the cars on display outside in the sun and get pics – but clearly, the stars of this coffee meet are not the cars, but these amazing places to put them – or should I say, residences where they will rest in blissful auto heaven until their owners call for them?? After more photos, and wandering about conversing with friends, it’s time to leave – we’ve got other goings on today in the area, and time marches on as they say – but this place has certainly left a lasting impression. Christmas IS coming, right??

Maverick Marktpreis: GT3 by Peter Wen How do you make a grown man giggle like a teenage girl at a school dance? Put him in the driver’s seat of a GT3, of course! One stab at the go-fast pedal and the screaming exhaust note of the Flat-Six engine at 8,000 rpm will transform anyone back to the carefree days of their youth. GT3 is that magic potion, the fountain of youth. Porsche unlocked the magic 20 years ago with the introduction of the 996-generation GT3. The U.S. market did not receive one until 2004 with the introduction of the second-generation 996. The recipe was simple: more power, more downforce, less weight. Rear seats, spare

Excellence’s magazine’s Porsche Buyer’s Guide offered these GT3 price ranges: 996.2 ’04-’05 $65k-$75k 997.1 ’07-’08 $90k-$105k 997.2 ’10-’11 $105k-$120k 991.1 ’14-’16 $125k-$150k 991.2 ’17-’19 $145k+ MSRP

tire, sound deadening materials, as well as all other non-essential parts, were removed. Essential parts were upgraded to better “stuff” compared to the pedestrian, non-GT 911. The GT3 was also fitted with an oversized “taco” wing. It was a street car with a racer’s soul. Porsche has produced the GT3 for every 911 generation since 996. Contrary to popular belief, GT3s were not limited production runs. There are plenty fine examples out there waiting to be experienced. They have held their value very well over the years. Often, GT3 is the most expensive model of their respective 911 generation, even more than their Turbo stablemates!

Coffee, Cars & Conversation by Bill Kruder

photos provided by author

So, this story goes way back to 1996. We had just purchased our ‘82 SC and joined the club. Well like any “used” car, stuff needs repair, and I heard about this shop with the strange name of IXXI Enterprises in Dallas with this incredible mechanic named Dusty. I proceeded to take my car there for service for many years. I was usually greeted at the counter by this guy that kind of scared me as he was so serious, and I’m just this guy with his first Porsche feeling like I should maybe be driving a Jetta. Well as time went on, I came to depend on him as my personal expert always willing to walk me thru what need to be fixed now and what could wait. Fastforward to about two years ago: I was at Mayo and who do I run into but the serious guy behind the counter.

meeting Mr. Stanley one day when I was out on the sales floor. From there I went on to work for JC Penney when they had a Dallas Buying Office here long before they moved to Plano. BK: Barry where did you go college? BG: Well I was supposed to go to the Air Force Academy - Senator Tower got me an appointment. But I couldn’t pass the eye exam to be a pilot. JG: Looking back, this was near the height of the Vietnam war, so it probably saved his life (smiling).

So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you: Barry and Joan Gibbs, members since 1969 & 1975 Owners, 2011 997.2 Carrera S Bill Kruder: So where are you two from?

Joan and Barry Gibbs

Barry Gibbs: I’m from right here, the little town of Fruitdale near I-45 and Loop 12. It’s now part of the city of Dallas. About the time I went off to college my parents moved to Desoto. I had really moved out already so never lived there but for a summer home. Joan Gibbs: Oh I’m a Texan, born in Sherman and raised in Fort Worth. I went all through the FWISD and stayed right there and went to TCU for college. BK: And what did you get your degree in? JG: I received mine in Merchandising; I went on to work for Neiman Marcus as part of their executive training program. I had the honor of even 20 September

BG: So, getting the news that I couldn’t fly, I needed a school to go to and quick. I signed up at Texas Tech in Lubbock. I went up there without ever seeing the campus - probably a good thing back then (laughing). Guess it wasn’t all that bad as I stayed there to get my MBA in Finance. BK: Interesting as I know both of you ended up doing pretty different things than what you went to school for. JG: Well we had our son Bryan and I was a stay-home mom for some time. I did go back and get my teacher’s certificate and started a 21-year career teaching. BG: I did stay in Finance for a bit working for Centex, the

homebuilder, as they were starting a finance arm of the business. But admittedly I ended up in the auto parts and repair business. BK: And how did that happen? BG: I had a friend who had a machine shop and we developed “oil return tubes” that would allow you to replace them without taking everything apart. Being a Porsche guy this really intrigued me, so we started selling these out of the house. People would call and leave me a message on the “phone mate” and I would fill their orders. This lasted a couple years, then we expanded with a catalog of parts that we would mail out. Well as was often the case, people would often ask me if there was someone who could do the work. About this time, we had taken a SBA loan and had a bought a warehouse over on Northaven and near Denton Drive, so I started installing the parts. Shortly thereafter I hired Dusty Rhodes from Forest Lane Porsche+Audi. He worked for me for over 20 years. BK: So was this the start of IXXI Enterprises? BG: It was about 1975. Then in the early ‘80s, during the S&L scandal, we bought three 60-foot lots in Dallas on Cindy Lane, which we built the building on. We ran a pretty good business out of there. Then about five years ago, I decided to retire and sold to Dave Nuccetelli. BK: Ok let’s talk about how you two met. JG: That was in 1972. I was dating one of Barry’s friends as it turned out, and we were all at Oktoberfest at Forest Lane Porsche+Audi. Well, we met that day and became friends. BG: Yep and I told him if you don’t marry her, someone else will. So a few years of friendship; I think this was 1975. Two club members, Richard and Nancy Corbeille, were from New Orleans and they asked if we

would like to meet them there during Thanksgiving and get married. JG: And we did - the chaplain from Tulane married us at Jackson Square. BK: So let’s talk first cars? JG: That’s and easy one; a black ‘64 Corvair. I’ve always had something about quirky cars (laughing). BG:My first was a ‘56 Ford; I bought it the day I turned 16. Didn’t have it long - I traded it for a ‘64 Ford Fairlane. Big mistake! BK: I hear there is quite the story on your first Porsche? BG: That was a ‘69 911T, burgundy over black; I think it was the lowest horsepower 911 that Porsche ever built. I was in school, still working on my Master’s, and I had gone to the dealer in Lubbock and ordered the car with the help of a friend who worked in the bank. He got me a 180-day loan; apparently he figured by the time it came due he would be gone (laughing). We ordered the car, and about this time there was a dock strike. I think the car stopped in every port imaginable. I was out running around one Saturday and I see this transport go by with VWs and ONE burgundy Porsche; I turned around and followed that transport to the dealer. They actually let me back it off the truck!

was President. (For the record: not only was Joan President but she was the FIRST WOMAN to be president in our Region.) So there you have it: some 23 years later we meet again, this time not about fixing my car but about what has made our PCA journey so much fun. We call it Driving Friendships! And Richard Cross, you missed a great slide show (you know what I’m talking about.)

BK: And what about that loan? BG: Well sure enough, the friend is gone and a bank examiner looks at the notes and they called me and said you need to show us how you are going to pay this loan. I asked if the 180 days was up and he said no; I replied “I will see you when it is.” As things turned out, I ended up with a Teacher’s Assistant job making all of $200 a month, but I was able to secure that payment.

BK: Now let’s talk about the Club. I understand you both have been pretty active in the Club? BG: We were in the early years. We attended four Parades around the country trying to participate in just about all the events. I was President of the Maverick Region in 1973 and again in 1978. Keep in mind the club had fewer than 200 members back then. (We now have over 3000.) JG: I was Secretary in 1976 and 1978, and then in 1983 I 21

Remembering Charlie Davis by Carey Spreen and some of Charlie’s friends

photos provided by Teri Davis

On June 7, 2019, 50-year Maverick Region member Charlie Davis passed away at age 80 due to complications related to the genetic disease Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. Charlie was a mainstay of the Maverick Region for decades, having held the offices of Region Vice President (1972, and Co-VP with wife Teri in 1981), Region President (1975 and 2000), Region Secretary (20072008), and Slipstream Co-Editor (with Don Spaulding, 1972). Charlie was also the inaugural recipient of the Richard F. Selcer Memorial Award in 1976, winning it again for good measure with Teri in 1981. Charlie held the post of Zone 5 Charlie with Teri as she won the Representative from 1985 1985 Newsletter contest through 1988. He was also on the Parade Competition Rules (PCR) Committee for several years, holding the PCR Committee Chairmanship from 1982 through 1985. Later in his PCA career he became the Tenured Historian for Maverick Region. He was renowned for his photography skills, and was a member of the Parade Photography staff for many years, putting on photography classes for Maverick Region as well. Another of Charlie’s PCA accomplishments was to come up with the first computer-based autocross timing system for the 1987 Porsche Parade. But statistics are of course only part of Charlie’s legacy. He was often a bigger-than-life character in the club, with strong ideas and opinions that didn’t always follow the mainstream, but if you knew him, you also knew where you stood with him. He was an engineer by trade, and had a wealth of knowledge of Porsches, Porsche history, and PCA history. Charlie was also an accomplished autocrosser and time trial driver, understood the nuances of TimeSpeed-Distance rallies, and was an experienced Concours d’Elegance judge as well. Plus he knew his way around a Technical Quiz! Charlie was a particular fan of the Porsche 914, and chaired the 914 Special Interest Group (SIG) for a number Winning the inaugural of years.

Here are some remembrances of Charlie from a few Mavericks who knew him well.

Selcer Award 1976

26 September

Linda Bambina: Charlie had done hundreds and hundreds of fantastic extremely-close-up pictures of every wildflower he could find around his property in Parker County in his makeshift studio. I commissioned him to create something LARGE and TOTALLY UNIQUE for some of those pictures so that I could hang it in a prominent place in my TreeHouse property in East Texas. But figuring out which pictures to use, and how these pictures would be put into one or more frames, took the two of us MONTHS of talking. Plus it took me hours to go through the existing contact sheets and finished photos to CHOOSE the best ones! Eventually I settled on 35 best of the best, and then the real fun began. Deciding HOW they would be put into one frame (Charlie said I would go nuts constantly straightening separate framed pictures -- so true) was a chore, since it turned out that the black backgrounds were slightly different colors (!?) from each other according to fussy-pants Mr. Davis. So a massive “contact sheet” of elegant flowers (with their names replacing the Kodak logo) was the magnificent result. I had him sign it and include the “1 of 1” designation for the piece of art, which seemed appropriate since Charlie was 1 of 1, too. Hiram Saunders: Charlie was so multi-faceted and so deeply involved for so long, there is no way to fully reflect his impact on PCA at the Maverick Region level, or even the National level, without a book. A couple of small things: I met Charlie at a Warbonnet Tech Session in Tulsa before I was a Maverick. He and Ed Mayo are the only two speakers I remember or ever heard much more about! When I told my son Randall about Charlie’s death, his first recollection was about Charlie teaching him how to drive more smoothly on the autocross course. Of course this meant my son was soon beating me, because I never got over my dirt-track roots. Charlie did a marvelous job with photography and probably would have gained renown with Porsche Panorama, except that Dr. (Leonard) Turner was everywhere, back in the days before Pano became a major commercial publication. Charlie’s ability to make people a part of Porsche-centric pictures, and the huge amount of time he gave to driver training and club administration, are certainly indicative of the idea that PCA is about the people and not just the cars. I also remember the days when Charlie was creating

an autocross timing system that was used for the Porsche Parade, and may have been the basis of similar systems around the country. I do not know if he was creating it to have it perfected before the first DFW Parade in 1987 (very farsighted) or just because it was needed and he had the technical knowhow. I also do not know how much his work was shared around the country. But I do have an idea of the amount of time he must have put into it.

There is so much more that could be said. We old folks may not be known and seen by many current members, but Charlie and Teri were at the top of a list of a half dozen or so that have sort of carried this club for a long time. When I came here in 1979 there were already only a few of the “original” cadre still active. Few can match what Charlie and Teri did, and in so doing, they supported each other. What a team! Ed Mayo: I joined PCA in 1967 while living in Cleveland, Ohio. I moved here in 1972 and started attending Maverick Region meetings and functions. Right away it was obvious who the leaders of the region were, Charlie Davis being one of them. Charlie was also very active nationally, was on the PCR (Parade Competition Rules) Committee, and was in fact one of the main writers of the autocross rules at that time, to the point of everyone identifying the autocross rule structure as the “Charlie Charts.” I was certainly in awe of him then, and so enjoyed being able to say I knew the “famous” author personally! Charlie was one of the early pioneers who brought the autocross timing world kicking and screaming into the age of computer timing, both here locally, and for Parade timing. It was NOT an easy birthing! I remember many autocrosses that were accompanied by screaming and cursing from the timing trailer - but remember, this was before store-bought timing programs. He was writing the

program, and was under pressure to get it up and running in time for the 1987 DFW Parade. There was an interesting confrontation at that Parade autocross involving a VERY serious and known curmudgeon autocrosser from California named John Williamson. It seems that John had posted a time that was pretty much unobtainable for his class. Charlie was of course doing the “new computer timing” and informed John that that time was a computer error and wouldn’t be counted. John, being a fierce competitor, argued that the time was correct and it should stand! Charlie argued that it couldn’t be correct, but he would allow John one more run, and if he could get within a half second of that time then it would be allowed. John took his run . . . didn’t get close! But then he told Charlie that that had been the most fair he had ever been treated! Let’s just say that Charlie was known for thinking “out of the box.” Charlie had chosen me to build the engine in his 1972 911S, and after completing the engine, we took it to his house to install it back in the car. After bolting everything up it came time to start it . . . no luck. Needless to say, this greatly distressed me! After some diagnosis we found the problem: during his fastidious cleaning and painting the engine bay, we found the ground stud that he forgotten to mask off. Cleaned off the paint and it fired right up! Now to most people who know Charlie, he’s the epitome of the staid, humorless, engineer type. But they weren’t with the Maverick Region in Jefferson, Texas for a “Mystery” weekend, a “whodunit” enactment, with many in costume to bolster their assigned role. So there we all are meeting for dinner, and the final act of the weekend, when all of our eyes turn to a rather tall skinny female sauntering in wearing a short dress, full hose, make-up, and a daring top. It takes us all a second to figure out why this floozy looks familiar - it was Charlie in full drag!!!! And he was enjoying it!! So much for the staid, humorless, engineer type! Charlie was a well-rounded PCA member if there ever was one; this brief article barely scratches the surface. His presence will be missed for a long time to come!

Most memorable Maverick or PCA event

My wife and I both love the AX and TT events even though we haven’t participated in 10+ years.

Best thing about Porsche ownership

Of course the cars themselves. They are fantastic and amazing driving machines. It has also had an impact on our family as our youngest son developed a Porsche interest early on. It’s been a good connection for he and I and a lot of our discussions and activities together revolve around Porsche and car activities in general. But equal to that is the fantastic people we have come into contact with and met along the way.

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

Jay Leno has broken my heart. In an interview with CNBC promoting his show about mostly gasoline powered cars recently, he was quoted as saying “I predict that a child born today probably has as much chance of driving in a gas car as people today have been driving a car with a stick shift.” Ouch. To be fair, despite his vast collection, Jay is not an expert. However he is an electric car owner, so maybe we should hear him out. Hybrid gas/electric car sales have never really taken off. After 20 years of hybrid car sales, market saturation is around 2.5%. More than half of those sales in the U.S. has been the Toyota Prius. I understand the case for the Prius, but if that is what our future automotive landscape looks like, I’m skipping my next colonoscopy. Hope is not lost though, with the Porsche Taycan debut just weeks away (at the time of this writing) it certainly looks like performance car automakers have taken the electric powertrain seriously. That’s a good thing, right? I’ve had more and more and more conversations with car lovers and “regulars” about electric cars recently. I’ve even mulled the idea myself. Because let’s face it, it doesn’t

matter how fun your car is, when you’re sitting in traffic it’s a drag. But then I think of what happens when the traffic opens up. Would I want to trade the wahhh, blap, wahhh for whirrrrr? Think of all of the silent tunnels and underpasses. (Come on, you know you’ve done it at least once.) Would I ever want to go out and just drive again? Look, I know they are fast and clean and don’t require maintenance. They’ll save millions of poppy-headed three eyed newts I’m sure, but I’m just not ready yet. So I propose a new sort of carbon neutral equation. For each Taycan sold, Porsche would donate a weekend gas-burner to a worthy enthusiast. Just a thought, Porsche. Call me. Jay said that there was “almost no reason to own a gasoline powered car”. Says the man with over 200 of them. He’s probably right though. Electric car sales are picking up. More and more manufacturers are getting into the game. They probably are the future and my son will most likely drive one. GASP. I might even succumb to the pressure one day too, who knows. In the meantime, if Jay needs to pare down his collection to make way for some extra batteries...I know a guy. Enjoy the drive!
