The Club Race lasts one weekend.
The memories, forever.
For over 10 years, Boardwalk Porsche has been a proud sponsor of the PCA Club Race.
We sponsor this event because we share the same passion for Porsche as all of those who
participate. The shared memories, on and off the track, invaluable teachings and friendships
gained over the years have only confirmed our decision to continue to sponsor this event year
after year. We salute everyone for their efforts and hard work to make this event happen.
It is very special to us at Boardwalk Porsche.
Proven performance in the workshop or at the track,
at Boardwalk Porsche, it is our passion.

Drifting: Your Club Needs You!
By John Hamilton, Region President
A
s we near
the end
of 2012,
I reflect on
some of the past
year’s events
and accomplishments, and look forward to
another growth year in 2013.
Events and accomplishments:
• Outstanding participation at our Sunday Drives,
DEs, Autocrosses, Time
Trials, and Club Race
• A new training program
for our DE Instructors
• Great attendance at our
monthly “Happy Hours”
• A FABULOUS “50 Cars for 50
Years” event at TMS (for me,
the highlight of the year so far)
• A solid bank account balance
• Our membership growth
to over 2,200 members in
the Maverick Region!
• Our new membership goal: to
exceed 2,500
members by the
end of 2013
If you look closely,
most of the past and
future is focused on
membership: gaining
new members AND
retaining existing
ones. Unless we
continue to strive to
bring value to our
existing members,
our defections can

Region, she has been an active
participant and instructor in the
Drivers’ Education program.
Earlier this year when we asked
Lori if she would lead our DE
series, she immediately jumped
in with both feet, and has the
program thriving and driving. So
for your ongoing leadership of our

Carey On...
By Carey Spreen, Managing Editor
H
ere it is,
Volume
50, Issue
12 of Slipstream
- the last issue
before Maverick
Region begins our
second fifty years.
And at the end of my first year as
Editor, I wanted to thank a few people who made it possible for me to
put this newsletter out each month.
Christy Payne - You have no doubt
noticed the quarter-page and
half-page ads for Maverick events
that populate each and every issue.
Those ads have been produced
by Christy Payne - yes, our Social
Chair also has an artistic flair!
Christy’s creative ads have given
Slipstream a professional look that
we can be proud of. Unfortunately,
Christy will not be able to continue
producing ads for us, so we are
looking for a replacement for her.
If you are interested, please let
us know at editor@mavpca.org.
Richard Bradley - the Editor of
Slipstream for 2009 through 2011,
did the Editor thing, as well as
solicit articles, by himself, and now
that I have sat in his seat for this
past year, I don’t know how he
found the time to do it all. Like
many of us, I have a full-time job
in addition to this one, and so
did he, but he still managed not
only to get the newsletter done
every month, but he won National
Newsletter awards each year he
was Editor. This includes the Betty
Jo Turner Award for Newsletter
Excellence, a new National award
which was inaugurated at this year’s
Porsche Parade. Richard’s work, as
well as the work of the editors that
preceded him (I’m looking at you,
Jan), provided me with a proven
platform on which to continue to
build our newsletter. But it also
gave me really big shoes to fill, and
unfortunately I have small feet!
Linda Bambina - My biggest thanks
of all go to Linda, who wears,
among other Maverick Region
hats, that of Content Solicitor,
meaning that she beats the bushes
to round up folks to write articles
and/or take photos of upcoming
events. Without Linda’s help I
would be spending a lot of time on
the phone begging for articles!
On a different note, please
welcome our newest advertiser:
DeBoulle Diamond & Jewelry. And
please remember to support our advertisers, because they support us!
Holiday on!

Maverick Minutes
By Madhu Rao, Region Secretary
O
ur November
Board
meeting started
at 7:15pm with
a spirited shout
out “Freebird”
(I think that was
me) and a “Raosing” table drumming stint to
the opening chorus of ‘We Will
Rock You’ (also me - must be my
inner child!) Who knows what
types of fun we’ll have at our
next meeting, so come join us!
President John Hamilton welcomed those in attendance with
some great news: Maverick Region
membership continues to increase!
Our total membership now exceeds
2200, and has grown every month
for over 18 months. Kudos to all
involved in “driving” these results.
Someone mentioned the mantra
of our region, “It’s not the cars, It’s
the people” and everyone seemed
to agree on this point as to why
people enjoy being members of the
Maverick Region. John also mentioned that setting a new goal of
achieving an increase of 300 members to 2500 should be considered.
To support his point, John then
led an open discussion about
how we can add value to the
membership experience to retain
existing and recruit new members.
He described a concept idea of
updating our regional website to
highlight the various incentives
offered by our sponsors so as to
communicate the value of membership in our region. Stay tuned
for more information on this.
Lastly, John asked about our
recent Board meeting attendance
trends which have been lower for
the past few meetings. If you have
6
November 7, 2012
any feedback about this please contact John at president@mavpca.org.
Next, having calmed down a
bit from my opening number,
I noted that our Executive
Council election is underway.
Thanks to all who helped on the
Nomination Committee to produce our 2013 Executive Council
nominees. I will announce the
results of this election at Founders’ Day on December 1 and in
the next edition of Slipstream.
Regarding our social activities, our
region is seeking a Social chair to
help plan and execute programs
for the region. We have some great
programs planned already in 2013
for you. Mark your calendars to
attend the All Member party on
January 26 at the Heritage Clubhouse in Ft Worth. Additional
information is forthcoming on this.
Driving right along (the phrase
still works - why change?), Sunday
Drive Chair John Harvey mentioned that the recent driving tour
had 54 cars and 88 people attend,
a great turnout. Of course, the tour
to the Wiseman Chocolate Studio
might have had something to do
with this. Also, he and the driving
tours committee are reviewing the
feasibility of downloading the maps
to your smartphone for use during
the drive. Lastly, the committee is
busy working on their next drive,
the “Tryptophan Trail Tour”, on
November 18. The drive will head
north from Frisco to the Lake Texoma area. Should be a lot of fun!
Advertising Manager Pat Friend
announced two new Slipstream
advertisers, DeBoulle Jewelers
and Merrill Lynch. Welcome!
Time Trial Chair Travis Howard
had the following updates. The
October Time Trial at Motorsport
Ranch had 48 drivers. The event
was profitable for the region. He
also announced, somewhat sardonically, “…drivers got in some great
runs at the toilet bowl there.” (Full
disclosure: “Toilet Bowl” is one of
the turn sequences at Motorsport
Ranch.) He also mentioned that
the next Time Trial and Autocross
event is on December 8-9. Lastly,
he is evaluating an alternate site
in the SE area of the Metroplex.
Travis, we look forward to your
updates about the above!
Autocross Chair Al Silva noted
that the Charity Autocross will
be held on Sunday, December
2 at the Texas Motor Speedway
Bus Lot, between Victory Circle
and Hwy 114 on the south side
of the Speedway. Cost is $45 and
proceeds support our charity, the
Huffaker-Hughes Hope House.
Treasurer Jim Falgout reported
that our financial position is doing better; however, there will be
some outflows to cover expenses
associated with our upcoming
programs. An opportunity exists
to continue to increase our communication and planning efforts
within the region to drive revenue
and perceived value for our region.
Club Race Registrar Wendy Shoffit noted that the recent Maverick
Region Club Race was profitable
and a success. Looks like 67 racers
were able to participate. Wendy
also mentioned that the Holiday
Party on November 4 had a total of
56 attendees, and that we utilized
a credit card reader to expedite
purchase processing for the Silent
Auction. Congratulations to all
of you involved in the planning
and execution of these events.
PR Chair Linda Bambina continues to help out with regards
to PR activities by spotlighting people and sponsors of interest for our region. If you have an idea
for her please contact her at bina42@tx.rr.com.
John also mentioned the following board
level openings. They include Autocross
chair, Social chair, and Rally chair. Please
contact him at for more information.
Slipstream Editor Carey Spreen presented several updates and reminders. The first is to make
sure articles are submitted on time so that the
magazine can be delivered to you more quickly.
Carey – thanks for doing this. Carey also suggested updating our website calendar and the
Executive Council information for the next issue.
Happy Hour Chair Mike Farrar mentioned that the
November 15 Happy Hour will be at JR’s Grille in
Colleyville, and the December 20 Happy Hour will be
at Ruggeri’s Italian Kitchen in Dallas. Please check the
Maverick Region website for additional information
about these and other great events in our region.
Meeting adjourned at 8:55pm.

MAVERICK
PCA RACER
December 9
By Linda Bambina, PR Chair and MRPCA 50th Anniversary Committee
B
y the time
you read
this, our
50th Anniversary Year will
have come to
an end. ‘Twas a
grand ole time,
wasn’t it? While most Regions have
celebrated their Golden Anniversary with a single Giant Gala
or banquet, we have had SEVEN
special occasions, with a focus on
events from our unique history and
the people who helped make it all
happen over those five decades.
Last month in Slipstream there
was a great panorama shot of
many of our Past Presidents; it
took up two pages. I wish there
was a way to show you all faces or
even just the names that make up
the proverbial “rest of the story”
behind this memorable past year.
In a way it would look like the
credits at the end of a movie! Lists
of responsibilites that you never
would have thought were necessary to get the job done! So many
details, so much minutiae! And the
majority of it was handled by - you
guessed it: Christy Payne, Lisa
Steele, and Wendy Shoffit . . . again.
Lisa Steele and Christy Payne
10
Oh, I was there with frenetic
energy and lots and lots of ideas
that turned into real events,
but the planners and the doers?
Christy and Lisa and Wendy.
As I “emoted” in Lisa’s “Video
Tribute to Maverick Region” (first
shown at the Holiday Party), I’ve
noted the SAME pattern/blueprint
that has made us a uniquely loyal and
strong Region: The Women of Maverick. I’m talking about women who
took on various volunteer jobs and
every single Executive Board position year after year after year. Like
little Energizer Bunnies, they kept
going and going and going. From
the 70s thru the 90s (and some
into the current millennium!):
Teri Davis, Joan Gibbs, Sharron
Dawson, Fran Ussery, Jan (Thompson) Mayo, Yours Truly, Doris
(Mitchell) Casey, Myra Sutton,
Taxi Breithaupt, Julia Underwood,
Rose Gohlke, Carolyn King, and
the famous (infamous!) Lanean
Hughes, who stopped only when
she was literally taken from us after
two short months in the hospital.
Wendy Shoffit, Jan Mayo and
Mimi Spreen stepped in to help
Lanean as the Region started
Wendy Shoffit
the new century, gaining momentum for our 2004 Ft. Worth
Parade with Jan at the helm -- this
time supported by almost 1,000
members, twice as many as we
had for the ’87 DFW Parade.
As I look at the year 2000 time
frame found on our own Mav
website, I see the names Jan Mayo,
Lisa Steele, Christy Payne, and
Wendy Shoffit again and again, in
key club roles, winning awards, and
in countless ways NOT specifically
mentioned on the Timeline, but
there between the lines and lines
of club events, decidedly making
a difference year after year.
Thank you, Women of Maverick,
for being the Super Glue that has
helped hold the “people” side of
our cars & people equation together!

old renovated parsonage that
served as the retail store.
The Studio is where imagined and
engineered chocolate recipes come
to being, as well as full time production under Justin’s eye. The retail
shop in the Parsonage is hundreds
of chocolate truffles blocked by
thin glass. A credit card frees
them from being held hostage
and moves it into YOUR gift
box for the trip back to DFW.
Don Sebert is our guest contributor with insight into the
actual studio tour in Hico. He
paid hard cash money for the
privilege to see, first hand, how
fine chocolates are crafted.
Some of you may recognize
Don’s name. It is rumored that
he was runner up to be “The
Most Interesting Man in the
World” (http://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/The_Most_Interesting_
Man_in_the_World). Here is Don’s
description of the factory tour:
“The anxious group that entered
the Wiseman Chocolate Factory
inner sanctum found a chocolate
treat, literally. After kicking the
dust off our spurs and donning
sanitary food caps, we proceeded
inside and gathered around a
huge marble table where they
formulate the chocolate. Preservatives are not used, for the
purposes of ultimate flavor, but
their absence limits the shelf life.
“Justin first explained in detail
the manufacturing procedure
and took us through the small but
efficient production factory. Starting with ingredients mixing,
then chocolate mixing, and
finally hand-rolling the candy
to the final delicious result.
The best part was sampling
of flavors along the way: rum,
amaretto, coffee, cherry, etc.
etc. One lady said she had had
enough. Hard to imagine.
“From there, everyone had
the opportunity to shop at their
retail store for all the delights.”

Advertiser of the Month: Falgout & Associates, PC
By Jim Falgout, Region Treasurer

cars, and helping business
owners and individuals with accounting and tax issues. He is the
proud owner of a 1992 Porsche

with services such as bookkeeping,
payroll, and consulting. If a business needs financial statements,
they can provide those. Two of
his employees are certified Quick
Books Pro Advisors, and one of
those employees is also a CPA.
Jim was first attracted to Porsches
in the sixties when he was member of a Porsche/VW Club in
Lafayette, LA. He owned a 1958
Karman Ghia which he used
to compete in autocrosses. He
later owned a 1974 914 2.0.
His firm can prepare any federal or state income tax return
an individual or business might
need. Jim really enjoys assisting
individuals and businesses with
tax planning. He finds it very
satisfying to help individuals and
businesses plan strategies to minimize their income tax exposure.
He started his firm in 1986 from
scratch. Over the years his firm has
grown through referrals and three
acquisitions. Today he has offices
in Richardson and McKinney.
Jim and his staff can help individuals get started in business,
and help established businesses
Frequently, individuals who have
received a notice from the Internal
Revenue Service are referred to
Jim. He has conducted many successful negotiations with the IRS.
Jim joined the Maverick Region
in 2008 after purchasing his 968.
In August of that year, he received
an email blast indicating that the
officers of the region were not
running for re-election. Since he
had experience serving on notfor-profit boards and had several
not-for-profit clients, he decided
to run for treasurer for 2009.
He continues to hold that position
and is proud to work with all the
individuals who serve the Maverick
Region with such passion and
professionalism. Jim feels this is
what makes the Region the excellent organization it is. As has been
said, “It’s not just the cars; it’s the
people.”

Cliff ’s Ramblings: Visitors from the East
By Cliff Blackshear
F
rom time
to time,
Porsche
sends people from
Germany to tour
around over here
and get a ground
level view of how
things are going
in the workshop environment. The
folks that they send over have no
desire to visit the sales department
or visit with upper managers at
dealer level. They send gear-heads
over here to talk to gear-heads that
work here. It is interesting. Nearly
all I have met over my 40 years of
doing this are engineers. Cool folks.
In almost every case I have been
involved in, most have never traveled to the US before. And they always seem to resonate the same expectations about coming to Texas:
Cowboy hats and big belt buckles.
Ultimately they get here and are
blown away by just how big this state
is. You can put a couple Germanys
into Texas (or more). They love
coming here and seeing our robust
country up-close and personal.
Anyway, this second week of
November, a group of three from
PAG arrived in my workshop.
Their mission was to talk to service
people first, managers second. The
idea being to talk to the folks in the
trenches and get the absolute feel
for our work environment when it
comes to utilizing their information systems, which we employ
while repairing the cars. How is it
working for us? What information
are we not getting? What ideas
do we have to make repairs go
more efficiently and correctly?
No part of the workshop environment was left off the table. Special
tools were discussed. Special equipment for Hybrid technology was
discussed. Charging station equipment for the 918 was discussed. But
their biggest concern was this: how
is our information system working?
What do we need to do to keep you
current with a car that left production last week? Give us your input!
The three guys that came over
were so dedicated and just wonderful to converse with. One was in
charge of Parts (or PET) systems as
well as Tequipment offering. Another was looking at all things having to do with Group 1 (engine),
Group 2 (fuel ignition system), and
Group 3 (transmissions and 4wd
systems). The third was intimately
involved with 918 hybrid drive
systems (most interesting guy).

Convenience.
We are conveniently located near the intersection of Stemmons and LBJ Freeways
in Dallas. We offer emergency towing service 24 hours a day and have arranged
for special rental car rates with area rental agencies. Come by for a visit between
7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, or call for a service appointment.
They interviewed me first. I
brought up some short comings
in PIWIS (Porsche Integrated
Workshop Information System).
No torque specs in some repair
sequence publications, culminating
in a scavenger hunt to get things
done right. Software issues that
could have been easily avoided
with better system tester training
for us. More timely informationtechnical releases. An informationtechnical release is the release
of introduction information
for new model year vehicles.
Ultimately we reminisced about
the past, and Porsche’s history with
Audi and VW. I went on and on
about how techs like me back in
the day had to work on both lines
of cars (Porsche+Audi) all day. So I
told the 918 guy about how I once
worked at a dealer in Colorado
and Audi was also in our shop.
Our cold weather climate made us
perfect for prototype testing. I was
given Audis to drive (5000 Turbo,
5000 Diesel, 4000 4E) way before
they went into production. Had to
file reports weekly about the cars.
Follow strict guidelines about what
tires we ran in dead of winter. Fuel
usage was a big concern especially
with diesel in cold weather environment. They had me mixing 1 gallon
of regular gas with every 9 gallons
of diesel during temperatures of
20F or lower. It worked well, by
the way, back then. I dunno if
mixing fuels is a good idea with
the systems of today. I got away
with it on my ‘03 commuter rat.
Anyway I went on about how hot
it gets here and they should send
me a 918 for prototype testing. I’m
experienced with this, right?! We
all had a good laugh at that one.
Cool people sit in a cubicle
thousands of miles from here,
dreaming up new ideas. They work
to implement them, worry over
proper execution of their ideas,
and mother-hen the production
methods with their colleagues.
Then once in a while they get to
leave that cubicle and see where
the hard work goes. Interact with
folks like me down the line. This
to me is what makes Porsche so
interesting as a company. They do
what works for them. Try different
avenues of information gathering.
The one thing I think they understand more than most is simply this:
Go to the people that are dealing
with the cars after production at
workshop level. Ignore everyone
else. Workshop people are dataoriented. We have no time for
sales numbers (although I care,
as sales generates my livelihood),
but I only want data, not “Oh boy,
iPod is available” information.
From there these folks sharpen
their tools for their next ideas . . .

The Loan Management Account® (LMA® account) is provided by Bank of America, N.A., member FDIC. Equal Opportunity Lender.
The LMA account requires a brokerage account at Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPF&S) and sufficient eligible collateral to support a minimum credit facility size of
$100,000. All securities are subject to credit approval and Bank of America, N.A., may change its collateral maintenance requirements at any time. Securities-based financing involves special
risks and is not for everyone. When considering a securities-based loan, consideration should be given to individual requirements, portfolio composition and risk tolerance, as well as capital
gains, portfolio performance expectations and investment time horizon. The securities or other assets in any collateral account may be sold to meet a collateral call without notice to the client,
the client is not entitled to an extension of time on the collateral call, and the client is not entitled to choose which securities or other assets will be sold. The client can lose more funds than
deposited in such collateral account. A complete description of the loan terms can be found within the LMA agreement. Clients should consult their own independent tax and legal advisors. Some
restrictions may apply to purpose loans, and not all managed accounts are eligible as collateral. All applications for LMA accounts are subject to approval by Bank of America, N.A.
For fixed-rate and term advances, principal payments made prior to the due date will be subject to a breakage fee.
