that’s the hardest.

Future ~ Two things:

First of all, I’m all about having fun! Isn’t that what our activities are about? Adding fun and satisfaction to our leisure time as a by-product of owning a Porsche.

Secondly: our BIG focus on the FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY of the Maverick Region Porsche Club in 2012. A big celebration requires a lot of research, planning, time AND PARTICIPATION to do it right, so we’ve got to get started early this year to plan our celebration for next year.

So there’s a lot on our plate, as there always should be in an active, growing club. But with the support of the many generous volunteers that we have now and who will be joining us along the way, we’ll continue to make our club activities more “enjoyable and inclusive.” I welcome your suggestions!

UPCOMING EVENT: Speaking of inclusive, please be sure to mark your calendar for our ALL MEMBER PARTY on Saturday, January 29th from 2 to 4:30 p.m. (please see the ad in this Slipstream). We’ve had a tremendous turn-out the past several years, and the focus is to get new members familiar with more of our activities. So please join us there.

Mav of the MonthOne of the best examples of jumping in with both feet to

volunteer has been by Pat Friend. It seems to me that it was only about a year ago that I met Pat at one of our board meetings, and he found many ways that he could contribute to the club. He has taken over the management of our Goodie Store to keep it up and running despite vendor challenges

Hello, fellow Mavericks! It’s my first article as the new president of our club, so I’d like to cover

thank-you’s, history, focus, and future.

First of all the thank-you’s ~ A huge thanks (from all of us) goes to Mike Brodigan who, as president for the past two years, has helped our club grow in

membership, participation and charity. I can’t remember a time in our club when we’ve had more activities (Our Slipstream newsletter, Round-up, Founder’s Day, Concours, Club Race, Sunday Drives, Time Trials, Autocross, Drivers Education, Happy Hours, Swap Meets, Tech Sessions, caravans to Porsche Parade, etc.) going on. And each of them so well attended! PLUS the contributions, both financial and volunteer, to improvement of our charity, the Hope Shelter. Yes there are a lot of committees to thank, and there is one leader who kept all the plates spinning. So thank you, Mike Brodigan, for spinning all those plates during the past two years.

History ~ Did you know that the history of our Maverick Region is well-documented (but well-hidden) on our website? If you go to our site, then click on “about us”, then click on “MRPCA History”, then click on “go here” at the bottom of that page, it documents the history and leadership of our region since it was founded in 1962. That’s almost 50 years ago [to be addressed later in this article]! And our club keeps growing with over 1700 members in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. So we’ll have to keep growing our activities and even add some to continue the enhancement of the enjoyment of owning a Porsche.

Focus ~ So, me thinks, our focus should be on how we can make our activities even more enjoyable and inclusive. Speaking of inclusive, I am very encouraged by the participation by new people coming to our monthly board meeting. This month, Mike Farrar, and Rick Schwausch, joined us at our board meeting and offered to help wherever they can. Mike said: “I’ve been participating in events for years, and felt it was time to give back.” I think if you went around the table, that’s how almost all of us started volunteering to help the club. We came to a meeting and figured out how and where we could help.

Focus (continued): So to achieve our goals of “enjoyable and inclusive,” our focus needs to be on examining each of our activities and see how we can make them more fun and entertaining to more people. AND, we need to look for additional activities that we could add to ours that would be inviting to members who may not have yet participated. You know: it’s usually getting someone to come the first time

and he’s also our ad director for Slipstream magazine. For being the Maverick of the Month, The Silver Fox in

Grapevine is giving Pat dinner for two at their award winning steak house.

So THANK YOU, Pat, for all you do!

January 3

A new year brings new beginnings, new hopes and dreams for all of us, but especially for those of

us that are plugged into our enthusiastic and friendly PCA Maverick Region! Last year was a blast with all kinds of events and excitement, but this year promises to be even better. Every year brings score

sheets and lap times back to their base lines, whether it’s at a driving event, a Concours, or any other venue. Make a commitment to attend the Awards Banquet and claim your award. It’s within reach of all of us. Maybe you can push yourself to make it to one more Social Event than last year, or a Charity Event to help our friends in need of a little hope, and find something you already have. It all starts with a dream, so dream big. January is the beginning of the New Year and you’re in the

driver’s seat. So put on your seat belt, come out and make new friends, and make a difference. Life is good and life with a Porsche is nothing less than spectacular. It doesn’t matter if it’s a brand new 2011, or the first Porsche that arrived in the great USA sixty years ago. What does matter is getting involved. Here’s to new beginnings!

Please help us to keep growing!

President John Hamilton C-817-907-7823 [email protected]

John enjoys DE’s, Happy Hours, Porsche Parade and other social events. He and wife Chris have owned Porsches since 1996 and joined the Club in 2002. John’s Grandfather in New Jersey owned a 1960 356B Coupe and later a 1965 356SC Cab so that’s how it got in his blood.

Vice President Chris Christensen C-817-917-6725 [email protected]

Chris has been a Maverick for over ten years and owned a 2000 Boxster S. He recently sold it with tears in his eyes… Welcome, dream car; a 2010 Carrera Cab. Now that the tears have dried up, he’s having a blast! Here’s to sharing the fun in our events with many Mav’s throughout 2011.

SecretaryMadhu [email protected]

Madhu has been a member of the Maverick Region since 2009. He and his wife, Roshni, really enjoy meeting members of the club at various social and driving events. “It’s not the cars... it’s the people” that make this club great. He is currently driving a red 2008 Carrera S and loves it!

Treasurer Jim Falgout W-972-669-2370 C-972-345-3009 [email protected]

Jim just joined Maverick Region in August, 2008. He drives a 1992 968cab and has recently enjoyed several social events. Jim is looking forward toparticipating in all the driving events.

The last Board Meeting of 2010 began with some holiday music in the background with beautiful

decorations along the table and cheery faces in the room. Mr. Pres began the meeting at 7:05 with a very BIG “THANK YOU” to Clint Blackman for all of his hard work and service with the Sunday

Drives. A big round of applause was given to Clint and the clapping continued for John Harvey who will be stepping in and continuing Clint’s hard work and dedication.

Clint Blackman announced that the Holiday Light Drive would be on Sunday, December 12th. The meeting place is Starbucks in Highland Park Village. Clint assured the group that he will be around but taking a little break for a while (a well deserved break, Clint).

Jim Falgout reported that during the last two years Maverick Region has sent $1,623.85 more to Hope House than collected in donations. There was a motion by John Hamilton to donate the difference to Hope House. Christy seconded the motion. Motion passed to donate the difference to Hope House. Jim also announced his usual happy phrase, “We have money.”

Ed Mullenix reported that the Tech Session on November 27th was good and well attended with 7 folks. This was a good number considering it was a holiday weekend. The session lasted about 2 hrs. and everyone had a good time. The next Tech Session is on the calendar for January 15th at Autobahn. The topic of discussion will be brake maintenance…maybe this Secretary should attend this one. Ed is also throwing around the idea of setting up a service clinic prior to DE/TT events to do tech inspection. There is no venue yet but this is still a work in progress.

Pat Friend announced that he got in a new batch of badges. He also brought along lots of Silent Auction items for Founder’s Day from Park Place and Dallas Euro Cars.

Travis Howard reported that the AX/TT Awards Banquet was quite a success. Everyone loved the beer mugs and shot glasses for their awards. He said that it was A LOT of FUN!! Travis also announced that he has scheduled a Time Trial at MSR on Oct.23rd and it will be the 1.3 course (should be exciting to do this as a time trial). Apparently Pennington Field is no longer wanting to have Autocrosses in their parking lot so Travis is looking for another space.

Robyn Howard said “I had what he had” referring to all of her husband Travis’ report. Robyn did tell the group that she is currently talking with a few people about sponsoring some Autocrosses and Time Trials to help fund the more expensive locations.

Christy Payne is looking forward to a great Founder’s Day Event. She reported that the Silent Auction/Raffle was looking good with some great items. Christy reminded the group that the New Member Party will be on January 29th. Christy also had information from Richard Bradley to share with the group. Apparently Richard received a few reports of some damaged Slipstreams, so if you had a Slipstream that was damaged please contact Richard because he has extras. Richard is also kicking around the idea of having an “Advertisers Spotlight” each month for advertisers to give a little spiel about their business.

Madhu Rao was present and assured the group that he would be happy to help in any way he could at Founder’s Day. What a wonderful attitude!!

BJ and John Harvey reported that the Turkey Chase Sunday Drive was great. They had about 25 cars. Don Brown laid out a very nice course.

Carey Spreen reported that he might have a great place to do a Rally. He received an email from Mike Mayberry who has a Bed and Breakfast and horseback riding (not in the same room of course) near Whitesboro. There are some great roads for a Rally all around that area, so Carey is going to check it out.

Maverick MinutesLisa Steele, Secretary

January 9

Wendy brought up the recent passing of one of our DE Instructors, Azam Zaidi. As an honor to his memory, the board voted to send a donation to an organization aimed at helping the victims of the flooding this year in Pakistan. Wendy also brought some very colorful name tag holders that would be perfect for DE’s. Everyone agreed they would be perfect! She also discussed that Jerry DeFeo was concerned that not a lot people look at and read the Trivia. The Board all agreed that the Trivia is wonderful and would hate to see it go.

A new face at the Board Meeting was Mike Farrar. He feels like he has taken advantage of the club for the last 10-12 years and he is ready to help out in any way that he can. I can personally say that Mike has always been a wonderful help at the DE’s with anything the Hospitality Chicks needed. I know we will find the perfect “job” for Mike.

Another new face sitting at the table was Rick Schwausch. He, too, would like to give back to the club and contribute some of his time. John Hamilton chimed in and suggested that they could possibly help be a backup for the equipment manager.

Chris Christensen announced that our next Happy Hour will be at Bavarian Grill in Plano on December 16th. Forty people attended the HH at Bavarian Grill the last time so it should be a good turn out.

Judy Brodigan (aka Hot Body according to her sweet husband Mike) was present but had nothing to report.

Mike Brodigan (aka Mr. President) was busy in the Bahamas last month but if you read Slipstream you noticed that James Shoffit was announced Mav of the Month. Mike also announced that Jack Griffin is considering having a Social event in his fabulous garage. I will definitely attend this social event to see his awesome collection of cars. Mike told the group that the last 2 years has been a privilege to work with such wonderful people…been FUN he says!! Lots of claps around the room!! Thank You Mike for all that you have done and continuing doing for the club!!

Mike announced that the Mav of the Month for January is Pat Friend.

John Hamilton (aka up and coming new Maverick President) announced that dates are finalized for the 2011 DE schedule. The Club Race has been moved to October 29-30 at ECR. This will be a much cooler time of year for the race cars. Memorial Day weekend will be a regular DE and Nov. 19th/20th will be at MSR for the 1.7 track.

Meeting adjourned at 8:15

A personal note from the secretary…I have enjoyed every crazy moment at all of the Board Meetings for the past 2 years. Thank you to everyone who is a part of the wonderful Maverick Region!

Turkey Chase Report – from the eyes of a newbieBy Sylva Cohen Photos by Patti Bitzel and Larry Pettit

of greeting from other drivers as they ogled a line of 22 Porsches driving down the road. While we were on 80

all was still fine in my world. At Wills Point we traded that nice straight wide road for the FM roads of North Texas.

In my little back yard world of horses, there is a saying between riders. When you are invited to go riding with other people it is common to ask how they ride. It is often a warning when someone tells

you that they ‘ride like they drive’. It was on this drive that I learned that my quiet, retired, ex-airline captain husband must drive his retirement vehicle like he flew his 747. I thoroughly enjoyed the drive, but I must admit I held on tight a few times, leaned over to check the speedometer more than a few times, and waved happily at the County Sheriff as we calmly and respectfully passed his parked vehicle.

It was a great drive through curving country roads, at what was probably the ‘color peak’ for leaves in North Texas. The weather was perfect, skies clear, air warm, all with a

On November 21 my husband Gordon and I joined the Maverick Region Sunday Drive crowd for our first Porsche Club ‘event’. As

everyone casually collected in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Mesquite it did create quite a sight. It was reassuring as we introduced ourselves to other members to find out we weren’t the only first timers. It seemed as if a large number of us were finally coming to enjoy the camaraderie for the very first time, even though some of us had technically been members for a while (pay the dues, never show up.) As a new member and a first time Porsche owner I learned more about the cars than I ever thought possible standing in the parking lot as the group gathered. There was more technical information bantered about than I can ever imagine understanding, but the real joy for me was in looking at all the different years and models than one can hope to see in one place. All the dream cars of my youth there for my enjoyment to look at!

I had been around sports car clubs for a portion of my life. My older brother has been a member of a couple of clubs over the years in the Detroit area. While still living in that area I had gone to watch them race their Corvettes,

Saabs and other vehicles and eventually their Vipers around tracks and listen to stories of their Road Rallies, and gone to Concours events. But this was my first event as a car owner, or as the wife of a car owner at least. I have moved up in the world to actually getting a seat in the car instead of just washing it. Still, my own car choices and driving styles tend to the much slower and steadier pace of driving a pick-up truck with a horse trailer behind. This is a new world for me.

We departed Mesquite and headed out to East Texas. For me it is just fine to sit in a convertible while my husband drives and I get to watch the world and other cars go by. It was a real kick to see all the looks and occasional honks

big group of friendly people. We made our final destination before I, as an older woman, had to make the bathroom. (It was a great laugh to see all the men get out of their cars and run for the bathroom at the potty stop.) Perhaps that is indicative of just how tightly I might have been holding myself whipping through those scenic county roads.

We all enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Edom Bakery, which in addition to great sandwiches also had great chocolate chip cookies as promised by Mr. Blackman. Then we enjoyed a little window shopping with new friends at some of the artist’s shops across the street. All in all, a perfect day.

Stuttgart - December 12 - The Porsche 911 GT3 RSR takes off into the new motorsport season with significant

modifications. The 2011 version of the world’s most successful GT race car celebrated its international premiere at the “Night of Champions” party held at the R&D Center in Weissach to mark the end of the 2010 motorsport season. Priority in the further development of the GT3 RSR was given to the newly designed aerodynamics at the front and rear, changes to the suspension kinematics and to the engine.

The 4.0-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine now delivers 455 hp (355 kW) at 7,800 revs, five horsepower more than its predecessor. The power increase results from an engine management system which adapts even better to different fuel grades, as well as a redesigned exhaust system and a modified air intake housing. Moreover, the drivability of the famously efficient engine has undergone further improvements. Maximum revs remain unchanged at 9,400 rpm.

Clearly visible are the modifications to the front. A new front lip provides higher downforce at the front axle. The front wheels are now wider with the rims growing from 11 to 12 inches giving additional grip and less understeer. The position of the rear wing and the shape of the wing mounting also underwent optimization and were adapted to the new rear fairing with additional air outlet louvers. The rear lid was also redesigned for optimized air ducting. Like the 911 GT3 Cup and the GT3 R, the RSR has now been equipped with the LED rear lights taken from the latest 911 road-legal cars.

The 911 GT3 RSR joins the 911 GT3 R and the 911 GT3 Cup as the top model of Porsche Motorsport’s product range. The successful long distance racer from Weissach can be ordered now at a price of 410,000 Euro plus country-specific value added tax. All 2011 modifications are available as a kit for GT3 RSR cars from the 2010 season.

I couldn’t think of a thing to write for the January issue and then it hit me, Sebring 2011.

John and I decided last year, after Sebring 2010 and taking four of the top five places in SP Box class, that we Mavs have to go back and defend our place in 2011. I brought this up at the Hallett Club Race

recently with the drivers there that had attended Sebring last year. They all started salivating and expressed great interest in returning.

Once again, John and I had to make sure our dealer group wanted to spend the money to support the trip and we got that done. When you’re dealing with a proposal that ends up in corporate accountant’s hands, it had better have some strong backing along the chain of command. Thankfully, up and down our group, we have track rats, gear heads, Porschephiles, ex-racers and a lot of cheerleaders. Yet I wonder how many of you reading this, understand what is involved.

First, we have to find a transport, hummm, I wonder if the Ferrari Challenge trailer we own is available. If not, I wonder how much the ticket will be for an enclosed transport that is outsourced? How much is it going to cost per car to get them there and back? Will we need a second 18 wheeler for additional entrants for the class? Can we have more tools and equipment available than last year? This was an area where we really struggled last year, but fortunately other racers that were there lent a hand when we were in need, and we absolutely needed that help.

Once the financial commitment is made and racers agree with what their expenditures are going to be, an amazing amount of things have to be done. 1. Set dates of departure and return for vehicles. 2. Figure out how much room the transport has for tools and equipment while making sure all the small needs are met.

The decision has been made that only Spec Box cars are in our effort. I really wanted to include more, but it was just not in the cards this year. John has done all of the crucial

legwork up to now in contacting the drivers/owners. He found out who can make the date so far and checked on the availability of the needed transport. We want only an enclosed transporter and of course that raises the price, but it is well worth it. So far we have six committed drivers and possibly a seventh Spec Box driver/owner willing to make the journey.

I so look forward to this event, Sebring is a fast, brutal, unforgiving, historic track. Last year the tee shirts for the event read “48 hours of Sebring, You do not win at Sebring,

You Survive,” it couldn’t be more true. The night race is spectacular. It’s very dark at night at Sebring since there are no track lights whatsoever. Watching the cars come off turn 16 (The Le Mans Curve) down the long back straight (Ulmann Straight) and flying into the infamous turn 17 (Sunset bend) is awesome.

Turn 17 is such an interesting corner; it will make men out of boys. You must exit with the car so completely on edge near the concrete wall that you

have no place to go with a mistake. The wall will be inches from the drivers left when the corner is taken correctly. Last year I remember Glen Smith making a comment when everyone was learning the line. It went something like “As I came around each time into 17 and carried more speed, I could hear my wife saying, you crashed at what speed?” Funny stuff…..

There will be well over 200 entrants making it the largest Club Race of the year; every class was huge and so competitive. TRG (The Racers Group) had five 18 wheelers there to transport and support the Cup Cars last year. Porsche Motorsports was there with support.

I plan to show up and help as needed. Last year was brutal with 12 hour days and little sleep. It was all I could do to keep the cars that could be repaired on track. Yet, I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. Of course, I was just a cog in the machine that made the Mavs successful. So many people made that trip a success. It’s gonna be fun!

Ramblin’ along and trying to not early apex in life!

We were a little surprised and at the same time pleased to see almost 40 Maverick’s come out on a brisk fall evening to share in conversation

and good food at Mac’s. Needless to say that Mac’s is a favorite restaurant for many, but can be slow going getting there with all the road construction going on with 121 and 114 that narrows down to one or two lanes in spots. We thought there might be a road closure during the day and were somewhat concerned, but believe it was reserved for the less traveled evening hours. Anyway, thanks to everyone for joining in the Maverick camaraderie!

Well, with another year coming to a close, we can hope that this holiday season is going to prove to our friendly economists that the gray skies will clear and 2011 will be

on track for new growth and prosperity. We like to call our prognosticator for 2011 the “Porsche sales indicator to economic growth.” If Porsche sales are down…well

they were setting it up on the Dyno and she was hooked! She wanted a 911. Later in 2006, her husband bought her the Targa to celebrate their 10 year wedding anniversary. She (the Targa) is known affectionately as Mausi. In April 2009, they replaced the Boxster with the 997 C4.

In 2008, Parade was held in Charlotte, so the family piled in and took everything needed for four days away in their little Mausi. During the gimmick rally, the news had come to cover the event. The Klemmers actually made it on the news clip, demonstrating how you can even fit a family of four

in a 911! Also in 2008, they took Mausi to drive the famous Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap.

In addition, they have driven DE’s. As you might have guessed, they bring their two kids to most events. Margaret said, this makes them a true “Porsche Family”. She added, “We believe the PCA motto to be completely true. It’s not about the cars, it’s the people!” When I asked Margaret about any other hobbies or interests, she responded, “What other hobbies are there? We love cars, we love to drive and we love to travel.” She shared that on their most recent trip to Germany to visit Nikolaus’ parents, they toured the Porsche Factory in Stuttgart and spent an entire day at the new Porsche Museum! They also visited the original RUF location in Pfaffenhausen with a private tour and got to meet Herr Ruf himself.

Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Nikolaus, Margaret, Hannah and Thomas to Texas and our own Maverick Region family. If you are a new member and would like to be considered for our monthly “SPOTLIGHT” feature, please contact me at [email protected].

Member Spotlight: The Klemmer Family Andrea Bell, Public Relations Chair

This month our new member spotlight is on the Klemmer family. Margaret and Nikolaus recently

moved to Texas from North Carolina. While they are not new to PCA, they are new to our region. They are both passionate

about PCA and their two Porsches.

The Klemmers have two children - Hannah is 11 and Thomas is 9. Thomas loves PCA and has actually made two appearances in Panorama. Hannah, according to Margaret, “Well, she goes along with it.” They each drive a 911. Margaret has a 1985 Targa and Nikolaus drives a 2006 C4.

They bought their first Porsche in January 2006. It was a 2003 Boxster for Nikolaus’ 40th birthday. They joined the Hurricane Region PCA (in NC) shortly thereafter. That summer they attended a PCA event at a race shop. Margaret got to sit in a 911 track car while

almost 40 M av e r i c k ’s come out on a brisk fall evening

to share in conversation and good food at Mac’s. Needless to say that Mac’s is a favorite restaurant for many, but can be slow going getting there with all the road construction going on with 121 and 114 that narrows down to one or two lanes in spots.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for joining in the Maverick camaraderie!

Well, with another year coming to a close, we can hope that this holiday season is going to prove to our friendly economists that the gray skies will clear and 2011 will be on track for new growth and prosperity. We like to call our prognosticator for 2011 the “Porsche sales indicator to economic growth.”

If Porsche sales are down…well we know where we’re headed, and if they are up, we are cheering. It would seem that our three P o r s c h e dealerships in the M e t r o p l ex

are doing pretty well. So, there you go, put away your Wall Street Journal and just check the sales figures at your friendly Porsche dealer, and pass the results on to your financial advisor. Of course this is a little tongue in cheek economic humor, but just maybe it is a pretty good indicator, since sales of higher end cars is a market driven phenomenon.

So we are not going to pretend to be economists or try and re-invent Keynesian or supply side economic theory, but what we are going to do is to enjoy our Porsches and maybe

add to or replace them in 2011. Unfortunately the “add-to” theory requires additional stable space, but the application

of the “scatter theory” works well too; i.e. find a friend with extra garage space and negotiate a deal. That could be the best holiday present of all!

For those of you who requested name tags, we should have had them ready at our next Happy Hour in December. There were a number of Mavericks that ordered tags at earlier Happy Hours and I hope you stopped by the Bavarian Grill in December and picked them up.

Make plans to come out in 2011 and visit with some new friends at our Happy Hour in January. You will find a large gathering of fellow Mavericks at Love & War in Texas located at 601 E. Plano Pkwy, Plano, TX. The telephone number is 972.422.6201. See you all there!

...the girls having fun... Come out and join us!

Happy Hour - November HH @ Mac’s Steaks & Seafood Chris Christensen, Happy Hour Chair Photos by Chris Christensen

What a great Porsche Club we have, and we got to share it at Happy Hour with a record number of our friends. We counted approximately 50 Mav’s

gathered to enjoy some tasty German food and beer at the “Grill.” It is true – “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.” And you know, it has to be a great club when some folks have been members for 40 years - and they were there (thanks to Jerry and Myra for coming out). It conveys to us that this is a Club that makes a Porsche owner even happier…”and we didn’t think it possible.” If you have not joined us at Happy Hour in a while, please do, and enjoy in the fun and camaraderie.

Welcome to Randy Johnston, a new member, whom we met at HH. Randy drives a 1998 993 Targa. We hope to see you at future Happy Hours or the many other events the club sponsors. By the way, it was really a treat to see Lisa Steele

and Christy Payne at HH for a few hours of fun. These two ladies make it happen at many social events. And yes

Lisa, now that you are no longer Club Secretary, you must continue coming to Board Meetings…we would miss your wonderful smile.

Thanks to Rich Keesecker and his wife for entertaining us with many popular songs such as Edelweiss; and to Ed Mullenix for his contribution adding to the rhythm on the spoons. Who knew we had such talent in the club!

We are keeping it short this month so we can fit two months worth of HH columns in so we will be caught upfor 2011. For January we are going to have our HH at Love and

War in Texas. We have a semi- private area reserved in the back of the restaurant. This restaurant is located across from Uncle Buck’s in the Grapevine Mills Mall. It is easy

to find and there is plenty of parking available. Their address and telephone number are as follows; 2505 E Grapevine Mills Circle, Grapevine, TX 76099 – Tel. (972) 724-5557. See you all there and have a very Happy New Year.

Traditionally, Maverick Region has held its annual Founders’ Day banquet in honor of the 15 founding

members that started the Region back in November of 1962. This banquet, at which the club officers and chairs present season trophies, awards, and other recognition to our members, and at which the next year’s

officers are elected and announced, usually takes place on the second Saturday of November, and is typically followed by the club’s annual Christmas/Holiday Party in early December.

However, this year, Social Chair, Christy Payne decided to try something different. In years past, we spent a significant amount of time during Founders’ Day giving out Autocross and Time Trial awards, which was of course interesting to those who competed in the series, but not necessarily to others who did not participate.

To that end, we held a separate Autocross/Time Trial awards banquet in November, which freed up more time at the Founders’ Day banquet for other activities and general socializing. And since Founders’ Day was later in the year than usual, it was combined with the Christmas/Holiday Party, as the weekends leading up to the holidays tend to fill up quickly on many folks’ calendars.

Something else new was this year’s venue - the Gaylord Texan. This was one of the better locations in recent memory. We had a large banquet room, with a huge variety of buffet-style hors d’oeuvres, main courses, and desserts. A nice touch was that each couple got two free drink tickets, good at the cash bar. This was quite a bonus, since a glass of wine was $12!

Also presented to each banquet-goer was a raffle ticket, of which more could be purchased (and some of us took great advantage of that loophole, by the way!) to better the chances of winning something from the large assortment of door prizes donated by the club’s sponsors. Sponsors,

Founders’ Day 2010 - GT at the GT (Good Times at the Gaylord Texan)

By Carey Spreen Photos by Mark Steelewho, by the way, significantly support the operations of the club, and allow us to put on events that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive. As it says in Slipstream, “Support Our Sponsors,” because they support us!

The Silent Auction, always a mainstay of Founders’ Day, was also well-represented, with the proceeds of over $3,800.00 going to the Maverick Region’s official charity, the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House. Lisa Huffaker and family were our guests

at Founders’ Day, and showed their appreciation of our continued support of their efforts to protect and house victims of domestic abuse. And in recognition of their ongoing work on behalf of the Hope House, special awards were presented to

Clara Lewis and Linda Bambina.

Something else unique and fun was the presence

of a Butt Sketch artist (no, I am not being rude - that is what they call it), who did free-hand charcoal drawings of couples and groups, but from a rear view; faces not included! Each drawing took only about 3 minutes, and all were quite flattering, despite what you might imagine from the name. Our artist, Pjae, was scheduled to draw for us from 6pm to 9 pm, but the demand was so high that she agreed to stay until 10 pm. And the best part is that there was no charge to the subjects! Or were we “objects?” Either way, a lot of folks took advantage of it. I now have a Butt Sketch of my daughter Geneva and myself hanging proudly on the wall of our staircase. The “Butt Sketch” concept has apparently been around for

years, but being behind the times, this was the first I had heard of it. If you are interested you can find out more at www.buttsketch.com.

Another attraction was the annual “ICE” show that the

Gaylord hosts, displaying huge yet intricate ice sculptures in a ballroom chilled to about 9 degrees F (parkas are provided!) Christy got discounts for those of us who pre-ordered tickets, and this year’s theme was “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” I hope you got a chance to see it. A word of caution, though: don’t lick the ice - it tastes awful! Or so I am told . . .

As mentioned above, Board elections are an important part of Founders’ Day, and your new Club Officers for 2011 are listed below. This is an enthusiastic group of folks, and I boldly predict a fun year ahead.

Secretary - Madhu Rao

Treasurer - Jim Falgout

And speaking of enthusiastic, the winner of the coveted Richard Selcer Memorial Trophy, which the Maverick Region has awarded almost every year since 1976 to the Region member who has made an outstanding contribution to the club, was current Zone 5 Rep James Shoffit. I for one could not think of a more deserving recipient.

And last, but not least, with the departure this year of our perennial Drivers Education Grid Queen, Jan Mayo, a volunteer has stood up and taken the reins from her. However, since Travis Howard is of the male persuasion, the appellation “Grid Queen” was not the most appropriate for him, so Travis was awarded with a unique “Grid Master T” shirt and tasteful matching medallion, to wear proudly as he keeps those DE grids moving in 2011.

In all, it was a great time, with good food, fun prizes, and a chance to meet some new folks as well as catch up with some “old” ones.

We hope to see you at Founders’ Day 2011! .

• The new Grid Master “T,” Travis Howard.

• James Shoffit excepting the Selcer Award.

November’s tech session was a lot of fun. Even though it was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, a

bunch of folks showed up. We discussed the various tools and equipment that would be employed and then we performed the diagnostic tests on a vehicle electrical system. Hopefully some of the mystery

was eliminated.

On February 19th, we will have a tech session at Boardwalk Porsche. The topic will be the club’s tech sheet that has to be filled out prior to our driving events. We will perform a pre-driving event inspection and have some training aids to demonstrate what constitutes a “pass or fail” on some of the components. For those members that would feel comfortable doing their own inspection, we will pass out wallet cards that certify the member to sign “their own” tech sheet (alas, no you won’t be able to sign your buddy’s.)

The tech sheet pretty much fills up an entire page and looks somewhat intimidating. Most items on the list are common sense things. Something that routinely gets overlooked is brake fluid. Automotive brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. For those of you that have ever bothered to

Tech Corner Ed Mullenix, Tech Chair

look, there is a tiny little hole in the cap on the brake fluid reservoir. Its purpose is to vent the reservoir. As the brake pads wear, the pistons in the calipers are displaced further out and more fluid goes into the caliper. The fluid level in the reservoir goes down accordingly. Some manufacturers employ a rubber membrane in the reservoir cap to act as a barrier to moisture. Porsche does not, so moisture from the air does enter the brake fluid through that tiny little hole. When the fluid absorbs moisture, it lowers the temperature at which the brake fluid will boil. For a car driven on roads here in the “flatlands,” old brake fluid is not much of an issue. If you track your car or drive in mountainous areas, you absolutely do not want the fluid to boil. The club insists that if you are participating in a driving event, you have brake fluid that has been changed within the preceding six months. Nothing will cause you to “suck up that seat” like pressing on the middle pedal when nothing happens!

Also during the session, we will demonstrate how to uncowl a Boxster motor and pull the air filter assembly off of a “conventional Porsche” so you can see the accessory belt and such. Look forward to seeing y’all there. RSVP so I’ll know how many donuts to bring.
