The Inside Track
by Rocky Johnson, the Maverick Region President
A
t the June Board meeting it was decided
that the Executive Council should review
the Bylaws and make recommendations for
updating as deemed appropriate. A number of
changes are being recommended, with many
falling into the category of "dotting I's and
crossing T's. However, there are also some more
significant changes being proposed. We are
recommending that:
The definition of a quorum be broadened to ensure adequate representation be in attendance when club business is being
conducted.
Financial reporting requirements be amended.
Standing Committees list be updated to more accurately
reflect current club activities, with each Chairperson being
required to submit an annual budget. Once approved the
Chairperson will be able to conduct their business without the
need for further board approvals.
Realizing it is improbable to anticipate all potential expenditures, we are asking that the President be authorized to approve up
to $500.00 for expenses outside of normally budgeted and
approved expenses, without Board approval. We anticipate this
would be the rare exception, not the norm.
All the proposed changes are posted on our website and can
be reviewed along with the existing Bylaws. Assuming proper
notification, we hope to vote on these at Founders Day.
We realize that other changes may be required from time to
time. In fact, we plan to appoint a special committee to evaluate
the issues regarding online special board meetings and voting. If
you are interested in serving on this committee please contact me.

Maverick Minutes
by Michael Wingfield
T
he October 2005 Maverick Region Board meeting was held at Hackberry Creek Country Club
on October 4, 2005. The meeting had the following 19 members in attendance: Executive Council
–Rocky Johnson, Mark Gluck, Jeff Atkins, Michael
Wingfield; Board Members – Mike Brodigan, Lanean
Hughes, Chuck Machala, Bill Miller, Charlie Davis,Teri
Davis, Ed Gross, Tracey Gross, Wendy Shoffit, Joel
Nannis, Dennis Chamberlain, Joe McGlohen; Other
Members –Marie Wingfield, Albert Sansores, Clint Blackman. Rocky
called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM, and began the ‘round table discussion.
RJ: Would like a broader range of awards presented at Founder’s
Day and is open to suggestions. For example, a 500 Mile/5 Podium Club
Race award for local racers participating in Races within 500 miles of the
metroplex, and obtaining 5 or more podium finishes. Would like help
naming the Club Racing awards. AX/TT will present the same awards as
years past. Would like Rally awards, and TD says she will have two 2005
Rally Season awards. RJ says Andy Miller will have a Tour award called the
“Wing Man Award” for a loyal tour participant. The DE program will
present a Free DE entry to a 2005 DE season participant by drawing a
name a hat. Each participant will get an entry into the drawing for each
paid entry accepted into a DE event. DE Instructors will also have a name
drawn from a hat for a gift certificate. Instructors will get an entry into
the drawing for each DE event worked. Winners of the DE drawings need
not be present at Founder’s Day to receive their award. JN says
Membership will have certificates of recognition for 20-year members.
MG: Oct. events are insured and Nov. events will get insurance soon.
JA: We have money.
MB: 15 advertisers renewed ads in Slipstream and 9 remain outstanding. 5 opted for links on the Maverick web page.
MW: September DE event was oversubscribed in the Green and
Blue groups, but had a few spots open in the Yellow and White groups.
With 98 entrants, the event did not quite sell out, even though we had to
turn away some Green group entrants. The September ’05 DE was the
first DE to not sell out since the DE program began in 1999. The October
DE still has openings in all groups, with 90 entrants to date. Executive
Council continues to work on the Bylaws revision and will have something to present to the membership in November.
LH: 23 Mavericks participated in the Club Race at Hallett, including
two Rookie Candidates – John Gladwill & Gerry Krupp. Mavericks Mike
& Marie Stafford were selected as one of the 3 candidates to win a 2006
Porsche 911 Club Coupe in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of PCA.
They attended the ALMS race at Road Atlanta where the drawing was
held. Unfortunately, they did not win the limited edition car (only 50
produced), but watch Slipstream for their article on their experience. At
the ’06 Parade, Region of the Year nominees no longer need to provide a
regional scrapbook. Maverick has been lax in maintaining a regional
scrapbook, which has not been updated in two years. We need to maintain a scrapbook to preserve the region history. See the ad asking for volunteers to take over the region scrapbook. Founder’s Day will have scrapbooks on display. New Hope Shelter has walls, floors, windows, and the
roof will be completed this week. In 4-6 weeks, painting and clean-up
crews will be needed, as well as volunteers. No ETA on a move-in date.
Pier-1 Imports will donate some furniture to the new shelter.
CM: Charity AX will be this weekend (10/9) at TMS, to benefit
Hope Shelter. Autobahn Motorcars will sponsor the Charity AX. WS
interjects that the Charity AX currently has 20 entrants. Final AX of the
season will be at Mineral Wells 10/16. Bought two Icom radios with
extended warranties for $450 and used for testing at the Sept. DE. The
radios worked well and will order eight more radios, as well as a 6-way
charger. Total cost of radios, chargers, and extended warranty is $2,700,
which is $300 below the $3,000 allocated in June.
8
BM: Needs a propane tank for the street sweeper used at Mineral
Wells. Makes a motion for $2,000 to buy AX/TT trophies. JM seconds.
Motion carries. Next AX school will be Feb. 2006.
CD: Will rebuild the carburetors during the winter. Exhaust manifold not repaired this year, but truck passed inspection for the year.
TD: Rally school will be scheduled for Jan. 21 or 22, 2006 depending on calendar. A rally will occur Feb. 18 or 19, 2006. Plans to hold 3 or
4 rally events in ’06. JM has a rally school curriculum that he will share.
EG: Steve Boyd is still working on the on-line Goodie Store. Bob &
Clara Lewis are working on plans for the Holiday Party (12/10). Planning
a Wine Tasking social at Tony’s Wine Warehouse for Feb. 2006. RSVP will
be required for the wine tasting, with a max. of 40 participants allowed.
New Member Party tentatively scheduled for 1/14 at TMS Club House.
TG: Goodie Store now has helmet bags, which are good sellers.
Goodie Store has sold ~$550 in merchandise. Surplus shirts destined for
hurricane relief victims via the Salvation Army last month will go to the
Hope Shelter this month. Salvation Army did not want the shirts.
WS: Oct. Slipstream is at the mail house. Printing held up waiting
for the Post Office notice. Has new upgrade of software, which should
help the process and is current with Ussery Printing. Looking for
September DE article. Zims Autotechnik will hold a Swap Meet 11/5.
Presented invitation kits to Founder’s Day, that will be delivered to sponsors. RJ makes the motion that the kits include two tickets to Founder’s
Day rather than one. TG seconds. Motion carries. Founder’s Day photographs will be upgraded over the Polaroid photos of years past. Proposes
that the Editor be given free entry into all region events during the year
to encourage Editor participation. Topic was tabled until the next meeting to allow other committees to discuss.
JN: Currently receiving membership list via email. This will allow
him to once again contact the 40-50 persons per month that do not
renew their PCA membership.
DC: Happy Hour (HH) at Monica’s was a big success with ~40 in
attendance. October HH is 10/20 at Joe T. Garcias in Ft. Worth – bring
cash since Joe T’s does not accept credit. November (11/17) HH at
Razzoo’s Cajun Café in Irving.
AS: Asks if Hackberry will be the permanent location for Board
Meetings. RJ replies that it will be the location for the remaining ’05
meetings. AS asks why the Sept. DE did not sell out. Possible reasons
include the economy, gas prices, competition, and loss of “novelty.”
Events have been oversubscribed by novice & beginner groups, but many
of those persons entered out of curiosity. Not all novice & beginner
entrants decide to stay involved with this type of driving activity.
CB: Presented some sample beverage containers the Goodie Store
might consider stocking.Assured by RJ that Andy Miller (Tours) will help
CB develop the “Sunday Drive” event. The “Sunday Drive” event will be
short drives beginning on a Sunday afternoon, and end by dinner.
Presented an “Ugly Sticker”petition to have the current Texas registration
sticker redesigned.
JM: The Mini (Cooper) Club is looking for rally support. JM will
help institute the Mini Club rally program and Maverick members are
invited to participate.
RJ: The “Individual Support Policy” became divisive and emotional. Proposes that the policy die without further board action – Board
agrees. Asks how can we, the Board, better serve the membership? For
example, how should we treat surplus funds? Proposes that in lieu of a
published agenda, we publish any exceptional expense proposals a month
prior to discussion at a board meeting to allow the membership to better
voice concerns.
Hackberry Creek Country Club will host the remaining 2005 Board
Meetings. Attendees must RSVP for the meetings in order for the region
to obtain the proper size room for the meeting. The next meeting will be
Tuesday, 11/1. The meeting adjourned at 9:14 PM.
Happy Hour at Monica’s
by Dennis Chamberlain
For our November 17 happy hour we’ll be trying out a new
place – Razzoo’s Cajun restaurant in Irving. It’s on the north side
of LBJ (635) just west of MacArthur. Think of it as a celebration
for New Orleans getting back on its feet. Hope to see you there.
Photo by Dennis Chamberlain
Monica’s was a good place for us because it was spacious and
(especially) inexpensive. It turns out that Thursday night is their
night for special prices on enchiladas, and they always have happy
hour prices for margaritas. How about an enchilada dinner and
two margaritas for under ten dollars? Needless to say, we’ll be
going back there.

Attendees that were either recent members or members that

and Ed Repnicki, and Doug Molny with his new bride Melinda.

his was our first happy hour at
Monica’s in Addison, although
in previous years we have
ventured to the Oak Lawn area for
Monica’s upscale (and more expensive) Ciudad Restaurant. We had
about forty for the happy hour, and
about thirty-five stayed for dinner.

From The Driver’s Seat

W
here do you go for advice on how to repair
the battery problem you’re having on
your 1984 911 Targa? Who do you ask
when you’re looking for a trustworthy body shop to
do a good job fixing your hail dent or minor dings?
Where do you look to find out who you should buy
your new Cayman from? Who can you ask about
what an AX, TT, or a DE is and when the next one will be coming?
and click “Join.” Yes, it can be that easy.
If this is your first experience with Yahoo Groups, there are
several different modes that you can join with. Selecting the right mode
will control how many messages and how quickly you will get them.
• Normal mode - You will get each email message as a separate
message as promptly as it can be delivered by all the email
systems involved.
If you’re like many Maverick Region members and friends,
you can turn to the mrpca yahoo groups for answers and advice.
The MRPCA mailing list facilitates communication between its
members. Nearly 400 members have already joined the group!
• Digest mode - A bunch of messages are collected and sent to
you as a single message.
If you haven’t joined, you should consider doing so. It’s really
not very hard to sign up. True, it’s not quite as easy as tying your
shoe, but it’s close. There are several ways you can sign up:
• No-Mail means that you get no email messages, but must read
the archives online to see what was said. This is also a handy
setting if you're going on vacation and don't want a flooded
inbox upon return.
• Send an email to “MRPCA-subscribe@yahoogroups.com”
and reply to the resulting email that gets sent to you. If you do
NOT reply to the email, you will NOT be added. If you or your
company uses one of those fancy spam filters that will try to
verify new email addresses, you might have a heckuva time
getting started.
• Go to http://groups.yahoo.com and search for “mrpca” to find
the group. Once you click on the group name, you can click on
the “Join This Group!” button at the top right. Fill out the form

Boxstoberfest 2005

t was the biggest; it was the best Boxster gathering in the
Southwest… ever! And it was right here in Texas. Boxstoberfest
2005 was held the weekend of September 9-11 in Fredericksburg at
the eastern edge of Hill Country. Supported by Maverick, Lonestar and
Hill Country Regions, this year’s Boxstoberfest (the 8th annual) hosted
62 Boxsters, a couple of 968’s, four 911’s, two 356’s and a Cayenne. Not
to mention the P40… ah, more on that later. D/FW won the honor of
having the most Boxsters attending, closely followed by Austin and
Houston. Many folks came from other Texas cities/towns such as San
Angelo, Pittsburgh (Bob and Jan Jones), Longview, and Corpus Christi.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the car show was provided by
George Szokoly. George flew his private plane from Savannah Georgia
to be at Boxstoberfest. He also volunteered to take one of the participant’s kids up in the plane to take pictures of the car line-up. There
were several flybys with everyone standing beside their car. Not to be
outdone, the owner of the airport got in his helicopter to take pictures
of his own. Best of all, right in the middle of all the Boxster hubbub was
a fully restored P40 fighter aircraft.
With the festivities at the airport just about over, Boxstoberfest
participants lined up in 2 groups for a drive through the Hill Country.
With such a large crowd, one group took a clockwise route while the
second group took a counter-clockwise route. Both groups met in
Leakey, Texas at the Frio Canyon Lodge for lunch. After lunch a third
group assembled for a spirited drive back towards Fredericksburg driving the famous (infamous?) ‘330’ routes (Rt’s 335, 336, 337). These
are just about some of the best roads in Hill Country with lots of curves
and elevation. One of the participants called the trip back a roller coaster; that about says it all. The remaining 2 groups continued at a nice
leisurely pace back to the Officer’s Club at the Fredericksburg Airport
where cold drinks and snacks were waiting.
Hill Country roads can’t be beat.
Boxstoberfest weekend started off with a huge German bier bash
on Friday night at the Auslander restaurant in downtown
Fredericksburg. The Auslander is located on Fredericksburg’s Main
Street; but for this weekend, “Main Street” was not to be. Instead, by
Mayoral decree, “Main Street” was re-named “Boxster Boulevard” in
our honor! This has got to be the only street in the country, maybe the
world, named after the Boxster (Stuttgart take note…)!
Saturday was the big day. The morning started off with a Boxster
car show at the Fredericksburg Airport. With private aircraft as the
backdrop, 62 Boxsters lined up on the flight line. And I have to say it
was a pretty impressive sight. All the Boxsters were judged for overall
cleanliness including scoring attributes such as…
Saturday evening wrapped up the day with a buffet dinner at the
Fredericksburg Brewing Company. Folks who took digital pictures
during the weekend downloaded their shots onto a computer and
• The amount of ‘garbage’ in the seat folds (5 points no garbage,
1 point lots of garbage);
• Whether the wheel crests pointed to the valve cap (old factory
tradition)
There were lots of very clean ’05 Boxsters and an ’06 or two, but
the cleanest car was owned by D/FW folks, Richard and Robyn Bradley,
with their really sweet ’00 Guards Red Boxster. Congrats, guys!
Another highlight of the car show was the supercharged Boxster
brought by Imagine Auto, a Kansas City Porsche tuner. This car was
pretty awesome, to say the least. Many folks were eyeing-up the trick
install. IA also brought Boxstoberfest T-shirts for each car. Great deal!

• And best of all: each car got 1 point for having a front license
plate, but got 2 points if they didn’t!
Aerial views like this happen once in a lifetime.

everyone got to see themselves driving, eating and generally acting silly.
There were two photo tributes, one to Gottfried Hogh a Boxstoberfest
participant from Michigan who passed away this past year. The second
was to Boxstoberfest organizer, Mike Renter from HCR, who is currently serving in Iraq. There were lots of door prizes; in fact there were
enough to go around twice. D/FW area sponsors included Autobahn,
Boardwalk, and Zims. Texas Driver Magazine was on hand to cover the
event and hand out copies of their great magazine and new on-line
magazine, Rainy Day Magazine, offered free subscriptions to participants.

What was the best part of Boxstoberfest? Well, aside from meals,
room and gas, Boxstoberfest was free. Then there was the great assembly of Boxsters and all the free stuff. But as always, it’s all those fun folks
who just happen to own a car like me. Y’all gotta try it next year. It’s a
great big smile.

Carrera Cruises - Porsche in Ferrari Land

Ferrari owners lived, the road had plenty of extra curves which
appeared to be put there only for the pleasure of the residents. The

My favourite Italian driving method is to speed down the middle of the two lanes, if a car is coming up quickly behind, you move
to the right lane. If you start to catch traffic in front, you move to
the left lane while your left blinker quickly moves slow traffic to the
right, making your pass quick and safe. As the speed differential
between a Fiat Topolino and my Carrera can easily approach 200
kph, this Italian style of lane discipline works perfectly for everyone
on the road no matter how much horsepower you are packing.
Now if we could only get some lane discipline in the good ole USA.
Once off the autostrada, the back roads to Maranello are ruled
by Ferraris, Porsches - mainly black Cayennes which would be my
choice as a North Italian mafia leader - and the ever present Vespas
and Piaggios whizzing around us like bees protecting their hives.
Mix this with the notorious Fiat Bravo (are they all silver?), three
wheel Apes (bee in Italian) and you have some serious back road
chaos that somehow works.
Maranello would be a sleepy small Italian town if not for the
ever present howl of the V8 and V12 Ferrari engine. After an afternoon spent browsing the Ferrari store, drooling at the Ferrari
museum, a truly awesome display of street and racing Ferraris and
engines, and trying to gain access to the Fiorano test track (but
only getting glimpses of its action by peaking through the fence on
the side of a back road), we drove by the factory. Just at this
moment a factory fresh F430 howled through the back gate and a
shift of factory workers all sporting red cavallino work outfits
ended their day. Still later in the evening as we went to dinner we
spotted the “men in red” having an aperitivo at the local café and a
Campari at the pub. These factory workers must be so proud to be
part of Ferrari land that their work outfits do not even come off
during their evening social time.

Sunday we explored the west coast of Lake Garda with a main

Time Trial #5 - My First Ever
by Christy Dominick
s a first time attendee at the Time Trials, I
was not sure what to expect. However, I was
excited at the thought of getting a chance to
drive the way I really want to.
this was a potentially bad thing. The first group ran for 2 hours
and I started to feel the burn. The time went by quickly with Shelly
giving me plenty of insight and instruction on the course and procedures. This was fun, but now it was my turn behind the wheel.
Denny (my honey) and I left Flower Mound
at the crack of dawn to get to Mineral Wells by
7:30 am. Of course, we were well prepared with
plenty of water, snacks, and sunscreen. We were welcomed by
Wendy, who checked us in and gave us the low-down.
First order of business – sunscreen. I quickly covered my
shoulders and arms and watched as Denny took off on his first
run. Did I mention I was excited? In all this excitement, I did not
cover my face, chest, neck, legs….you get the idea. I was pumped
and had great fun, but I was horribly burnt for two weeks, everywhere but my arms and shoulders.
A
Now my turn! What an incredible rush! I was still driving like
I was in my SUV, but by the end of my first session, I was ready to
get down and dirty.
Turn #1 was tighter than I expected…I’d be ready next time.
Photo by Charlie Davis
Turn #2 I could visualize and had the feeling of how to handle it.
Turn #3 was freaking me out! After the first session, I had to
psyche myself up for it and push it further than I thought I could.
In the second session I certainly pushed it….I almost spun out,
fishtailed instead, and pulled it out, without touching a pylon!
Christy demonstrating her excitement.
Apparently it was a smaller group than usual, but we had
enough people to cover all the corners. I was on the tarmac at turn
#4 for the first group’s session. I would recommend this for
anyone who is on a course for the first time. Seeing the challenges
the drivers were having gave me a distinct advantage on turn #4.
I knew what to expect. Turn #3 was a different story, though. We’ll
get back to that later…..
I was so excited, but had no idea what I needed to do out on
the course. Fortunately, I had Shelly with me for that, too. After the
drivers’ meeting it was time to go. I grabbed some water and
off we went, with Bill Miller dropping the attendants at their
designated turns. However, in my excitement, I forgot to put on
the sunscreen we brought with us. Being a fair-skinned redhead,
Photo by Charlie Davis
Being the first time for both Denny and I, we were paired up
with Rick Randall and Shelly Burbank for a tour of the course,
and some valuable instruction. Denny and I did well thanks to
their help. They did a fabulous job getting us up to speed (pun
intended). Much thanks to them both!
Rick Randall ready to roll with Brian Petri looking on.
Turn #4 was my baby. I had watched every driver in the first
group take those turns and I knew what I wanted to do and how
to do it. However, I learned another valuable lesson from Bryan
Bell. I went for a ride with Bryan on a fun run and he took turn 4
very differently than I did…and much better.
Turn #5 was comfortable. I guess that’s why I got a little too
cocky on my second to last hot lap and ran over the only cone I hit
that day. If I had just held on, I would have beaten Denny’s best
time. In the end, Denny only beat me by 0.2 seconds!
Photo by Charlie Davis
Turn #6 was frustrating at first, but I was ready to take it on
in my second session, too.

Ultimately, I had an incredible time, learned a bunch and
made some new friends. Everyone in the group was very helpful,
friendly, professional and accommodating. I am looking forward
to the next Time Trial and have been running the course in my
head over and over. All I have to say is, “Look out Denny, I’ll get
you on the next one.” Oh, and after some driving schools, look out
ladies. :o)

Welcome, New Members!
You have just joined one of the best and most active PCA Regions in the country! Some clubs focus solely on social events, while
othersfocus on just show and shine concours events. Maverick Region is a club that focuses on providing our members with the tools
necessary to have the ultimate in driving experiences. You will noice that our region has many Time Trials, Autocrosses, and Drivers’
Education (DE) events (in addition to a yearly Club Race). This has been the spirit of the region for quite some time. We have some
of he finest instructors in the country. Make sure you take full advantage of the driving experiences we have to offer.
Racing is not ALL we focus on, though. If racing doesn’t suit you, we have monthly happy hours, three monthly lunch gatherings, regular dinner socials, frequent driving tours on some fabulous roads in and around Texas, driving rallies (fun for the whole
family), and regular opportunities to support our perpetual charity, the Hope Shelter. If we don’t have what you’re looking for, just
ask us... we might just add something extra to the calendar.
Please also feel free to share article ideas (and submissions) to editor@mavpca.org. We’d love to hear from you!

Michelin Pilot Sport 235 40ZR18 (x2) and 265 40ZR18 (x2). These original equipment tires came of a set of factory "take-off" Carrera lightweight 5 Spoke wheels and are essentially unused. One of the 265s had a
nail in the tread which was removed and repaired at Park Place Porsche.
I will accept any reasonable offer as I cannot use these tires on my lowered 993. Brent Spinks, 903.581.5678 or bspinks@tyler.net. (2)

Porsche GT 3 Seats One pair. black leather, Porsche crest in the seat back.
Good condition--driver's side has some minor wear on the top of left
bolster from sliding in and out of the car (which you would not really
notice without specifically looking for it). Passenger side is nearly
unused. Seats include factory sliders that are a direct fit for all 996 and
Boxsters without any modification. Great for DE's and comfortable
enough for the street. Have the submarine strap bar installed, a Porsche
factory part you normally have to buy separately, at a cost of more than
$40 per seat. $2200 for the pair. I live in Carrollton & would like to sell
locally. Call Paul Seiler, 214.457.1217; boxster99t@comcast.net. (3)
