Road Ramblings
by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President
P
orsche Parade 2004 was a success. Every
Maverick who helped, no matter what
they did, was needed, appreciated, and
it showed. After I took off my name badge at
the end of the final banquet on Saturday
night July 10th, I personally asked several
people their parting thoughts. The ones I
spoke to all had a great time. Some said it was
the best Parade they had been to in the last
few years. While it got hot after all by the end of the week, the
weather for the Concours and the Rally was cooler than
average with no rain. In this issue of Slipstream and also the
next I believe, we’ll have various articles covering Parade and
the many events and activities throughout the week.
The turnout was large, as expected. Hundreds were at
the Concours on Monday, July 5th. Three of the banquets I
was at each had over 800 people. I entered the Concours
and the Autocross with my 2002 Boxster S and the Club
Race in my 1993 RS America. I would have entered the
remaining two Parade competitive events- the Technical
Quiz and the Rally, but my responsibilities in helping set up
the Texas Motor Speedway and instructing in the Drivers
Education created time and place conflicts. It was all fun,
especially preparing the Boxster for the Concours. I spent
16 total hours over the course of two weeks in the evenings
cleaning and preparing the entire car for judging in the
full-preparation category. While waiting for the judges,
Carey Spreen asked me how much time I’d spent on the car.
the “Pre-Race” show before the live Formula One telecasts?
I realized that I was suffering from SWS, SpeedChannel
Withdrawal Syndrome. I had gone several weeks without
watching enough SpeedTV, and I was feeling the
effects. Wayne prescribed two doses of “World Rally
Championship” that night, and to call him in the morning.
Things are back to normal now and I feel much better. By
the way, Wayne’s 914 race car is pictured in this months
“Excellence” in the article on the Rennsport Reunion II at
Daytona earlier in the year.
On a final note, the 2004 election for 2005 officers takes
place in November of this year. This entire executive
committee is stepping down with many officers having
several years on the job. A nominating committee is being
formed now to find candidates for the ballot in November.
Previous executive committee members take the time
and effort to properly transition to the new executive
committee and help them in every way we can. Most
positions run unopposed, as well, given the volunteer
nature of this club. Please look in Slipstream next month
and contact the nominating committee. Please feel free to
speak with me about a position if you’ve got questions. In
addition to the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and
Treasurer positions, there will also be several event chairperson positions open this year as well. Please look through
the positions and think about what you might want to do.
The positions can be fun, the time goes quickly, and the
contribution is greatly appreciated. Till next month.
“I spent 16 total hours... cleaning
and preparing the entire car”
After I told him, he looked at me and said: “You know there
are people who spend 16 hours on the 4 wheels and tires
alone…100 hours is not uncommon for a class-winning
car.” I thanked him for his support as the judges were just
moments away from judging my car and likely laughing at
my efforts. Well, in the end I scored 296 out of 300 possible
points, which is actually a good score on a fair-good-very
good-excellent scale. The last 10 points from 290 until 300
settle all the rankings in this kind of event.
While getting ready for Parade, then attending the
events during Parade week, and then trying to catch up on
work the week after Parade, I did come down with an
illness. Fortunately I was able to get a quick diagnosis from
a doctor friend, Wayne Brown. I told Wayne that something
was just not right; I was feeling empty even after such a f
ulfilling event as Parade. He asked a few general questions,
but being the car-nut he is honed in on the problem right
away. He asked me some specific questions, telling me that
if I knew the answers to all or most of them, that I myself
would realize what was lacking: First, did I know what
products the D.R. Chipper company makes? Second, what
are the names of the hosts of “Dream Car Garage?” Third,
what kind of Bobble-Head is on Dave DeSpain’s desk?
Fourth, what is the name of the doctor who promotes
“Cortislim?” Fifth, what night of the week has Motorcycle
racing? Finally, What automobile manufacturer sponsors

by Matt Platts, Slipstream Editor
I
think it’s finally over! The largest Maverick
Region event in recent history is behind us.
Besides some final housekeeping, packing,
and accounting, Parade is a memory (and a
fond one, at that!). I don’t know about you, but
I sure learned a lot about downtown Fort
Worth that I didn’t already know. I think it was
a great host city. The Worthington did a great
job of handling the crowds, and their conference facilities were top-notch. I really enjoyed putting together
the a/v presentations. I’m grateful that the Worthington’s a/v
crew and equipment were up to the task. The entire week was a
lot of work for a lot of people, and I heard nothing but compliments for the entire event and it’s staff. Good job everyone!
You will find that this August issue of Slipstream serves two
purposes. First, it will provide you with peveral post-Parade
related articles. Second, it will catch us up with several events
that occurred prior to Parade, but had to wait to be published
because of the Parade special issue. There’s a lot of reading
packed in, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.
Now that Parade is behind us, we can focus on our regularly scheduled events. Autocross & Time Trial weekends start up
again this month, then wrap up the season in October. There are
also a couple of tours coming up soon; a 3-day trip to Arkansas
at the end of the month, then a 1-day tour through East Texas
in November. And last, but by no means least, we are hosting
two more DE’s before the end of the year. The first is our regular September DE, then we have added a new DE weekend in
October. Can you say “Great Weather”? October sounds like the
perfect time of year for a DE to me. I’ll see you there!
Lastly, I would like to talk a little about Slipstream. As many
of you know, I’m quickly approaching two years as Editor of this
find publication. As much fun as this time has been, I’ll be ready
for someone else to take over at the end of the year. Please contact me if you are interested in becoming part of the Slipstream
“team”. It’s a very rewarding job.
Maverick Minutes
by Michael Wingfield
T
he June board meeting was held Tuesday, June 8, at Park Place
Porsche. Attendees were Noby Takahashi, Wendy Shoffit, Lanean
Hughes, Chuck Machala, Bill Miller, Joel Nannis, Dennis
Chamberlain, Jan Mayo, Marie Wingfield, Michael Wingfield, and Keith
Olcha who called the meeting to order at 6:58 PM.
Keith – Getting excited about Parade, which is almost here. We have
59 entrants for the Parade Club Race with more applications on the way
from folks that participated in the Barber Club Race and still have a
healthy car. The Parade DE has about 156 entrants registered for the two
one-day events.
Jan – “Parade is going to happen!”Committees are tackling the small
details and tying up the loose ends.Jan expects great results from the Silent
Auction,and has requested an item from Peter Porsche.She asked that the
board decide how to handle the seven bookcases purchased in July 2002
for use in the Parade Art Show and Parade Goodie Store. Originally, the
thought was that Parade would buy the bookcases from the region.
Lanean made a motion that the region not sell the bookcases to Parade,
but rather loan the bookcases at no charge. The motion seconded and
passed. Lanean made a second motion that the region either donate the
bookcases to the Hope Shelter after Parade, or sell the cases with the proceeds donated to the shelter. The motion seconded and passed.
Wendy – Parade currently has 955 total entrants (550 primary
entrants + 405 co-entrants). Maverick Region represents approximately
28% (154) of the primary entrants.Parade binders,75 pages of local information, schedules and maps, are ready. New applications for the Parade
DE continue to arrive. TT#4/AX#3 held this past weekend generated just
over $1,000 profit, with about 30 participants each day. James Shoffit is
updating the AX software program, and will have it ready for AX#4 at
Pennington field this coming weekend.
Wendy (as Matt Platts) – General plea for Slipstream content for the
August issue. Unfortunately, the June issue went to the mail house a few
days late and will reach the membership a little later than usual. A search
for someone to fill the position of 2005 Slipstream Editor is underway. If
you’re interested, contact Matt.
8
Lanean – Parade sponsors have donated quite a bit to make the event
happen. Zymol will have a 4-day car wash set up so participants can wash
their cars before/after the competition events. The Hope Shelter received
about $7,000 from the May Poker Run event. The funds will go to the
Rebuilding Hope building project.Rebuilding Hope has obtained a lot for
the new building. After Parade, a team of volunteer architects will begin
work on the new building design.
Noby – Insurance is in place for the Parade Club Race and DE event.
He also has several pads of waiver sheets to turn over to Wendy.
Noby (as Bob Knight) – We still have some money left.
Chuck – AX#4 at Pennington Field this Sunday (6-13), and will be
the last test of the Parade AX process and equipment before Parade.
Bill – We have a good group of regular attendees that are helping to
grow the TT/AX program,even when Joel slicks the track with oil (again!).
Joel – Currently, Maverick Region has 1181 members. However, we
have not received the latest membership updates from PCA National due
to software issues at PCA National. He wants to revisit the possibility of
reducing the cost of Slipstream by allowing members to elect NOT to
receive the magazine.Rather,each member can elect to download only the
electronic version of Slipstream from the Maverick web site.He will investigate the possibility of following the Hill Country Region model for the
electronic newsletter.
Dennis – Approximately 50 people turned out for the Sea Grill happy
hour. The June Happy Hour will be at the Bavarian Grill (Plano) on
Thursday (6-10-2004) and at the Smokehouse (Colleyville) in July.
Michael – The June DE at MSR is ready to go.We sold out the Green
and Blue groups and have just a few spots left in Yellow and White. These
may fill before the event.
Michael (as Mimi Spreen) – yes, I’m still writing. The August Board
meeting will be held at Autobahn in Fort Worth on August 10. Motion
made to adjourn the meeting at 7:54 PM, with the motion seconded and
passed.

Then, a month later we headed to the Bavarian Grill in
Plano. It seemed that a German theme would make sense
for our June Happy Hour, considering the fact that the 2004
Parade would be starting in another month. I was
concerned about having a happy hour so far north in
Plano, partly due to the traffic through the High Five
project. As it turned out, the High Five wasn’t the problem.
Instead, there was a bizarre tie-up below the George Bush
overpass that made headlines for days.
But the traffic still didn’t restrict our turnout, which
was 50 members – almost as many as the previous month’s
count at the Sea Grill. And there was an added advantage of
having a happy hour in Plano – Michael and Marie
Wingfield were in
attendance. Other
new faces and new
members included
Ed and Tracey
Gross, in their
brand new 2004
Boxster.
The award for
longest distance
probably would
have gone to Keith
and Karen Olcha,
Tracey & Ed Gross
were it not for
Jean and Dave
Frick
coming
from the other
side of Ft. Worth.
I figure they
must have driven
about 275 miles
Speaking of Keith,
he had the line of
the evening on the
subject of the
George Bush overKaren & Keith Olcha
pass crisis. Too bad I
can’t publish it.
For our August 19 Happy Hour, we’ll be returning to
Champps American Grill in Addison. Hope to see you
there.

We returned to the
Sea Grill on Thursday,
May 20, for the first time
in a year and a half, and
the food was every bit as
good as I had remembered. Apparently, our
members remembered,
too, because we had one
Happy Hour Crew: Jay Easley,
of the largest turnouts of
Tinker Edwards and Dennis Chamberlain
the year - a total of 52
attendees, of which 40 stayed to eat.
We had three new (or relatively new) members, including Rick and Susan Stein, who are fellow certified public
accountants. The
three of us got
together and had
a
stimulating
discussion
of
Internal Revenue
Code section 179
and its unique
interaction with
code section 168.
Recent members
Bob
and
Susan & Rick Stein
Lourdes Kuykendall
(1988 911) were
attending their first
happy hour, as was
new
member
Shelley
Linders
(1998
Boxster),
who brought her
friend Tina Wright.
First time happy
hour attendees also
included Steve and
Sarah Boyd (99
Boxster). For those
Lourdes & Bob Kuykendall
of you who might
not know, Steve is our new webmeister, and he has made
substantial improvements to the Maverick web site. Other
members attending their first happy hour were Tim and
Sherie Machala (2001 Boxster S – driven by Sherie).

Parade 2004, An Event To Remember!
by Scott Olson
I
t was quite a scene: A dull gray multistory parking garage
in downtown Ft. Worth, usually vacant for the weekend,
was now swarming with activity on a warm Saturday
afternoon. Porsche automobiles of all types and years moved
toward the first floor, where several wash bays were waiting.
Stocked with soap and wheel cleaner, each car got a cool
bath. After a thorough rinse, cars were slowly driven
upstairs where the owners waxed, polished, cleaned,
vacuumed, and detailed each car. This was the opening day
to prepare for the Concours ‘de Elegance. The show was two
days away, but already owners had wheels off, hoods up,
doors open, and in some cases, seats out to complete the
concours cleaning. There was a wide selection of cleaning
products organized into plastic bins near each car. The buzz
of vacuums filled the air. Porsche owners are not much
different from other automotive enthusiasts – except that
once a year, Porsche owners gather for Parade.
... A variety of activities catered to Porsche
enthusiasts of all ages and interests ...
Hosted by the Maverick Region, Porsche Club of America this
was the 49th annual Porsche Parade. Over 1500 Porsche enthusiasts from all across the country gathered in Ft. Worth, bringing
over 700 cars to North Texas for the week.
A variety of activities catered to Porsche enthusiasts of
all ages and interests. The first event was the Concours d’ elegance car show on Main Street in Ft Worth. With almost 80
cars entered, a group of judges descended upon each car for
a precise inspection. Owners could compete in three groups:
Restoration, (cars may be repaired or painted), Preservation
(as delivered from the factory) and Preparation (cleaned and
well presented). Cars were further divided into Touring
(driven – undercarriage not judged) and Full (undercarriage
is judged). Awards were then given in divisions to cars of
similar age, year and model.
On Monday, the Concours cars were lined up on the
10
brick Main Street in Ft. Worth. The old court house
provided a magnificent back drop to the scene. Top award in
Restoration class was David Seeland from Colorado, with a
1967 912. Chuck Leighton, with a 1975 911S won the
Preservation award and a brand new 2004 GT3 of Gerry
Curts won the Preparation award.
On Tuesday, over 100 two-person teams drove a time and
distance rally, which took participants on a route from Ft
Worth through the North Texas countryside and ending at
Texas Motor Speedway. Top Wednesday, nearly 200 Porsche
owners matched wits by taking a 2-hour technical quiz, with
tough
questions
from
all
areas
of
Porsche
history, specifications and marketing documents. Charles
Swanson was the overall winner and top score by a female
was earned by Debbie Cooper. All week there were
activities for children, including remote control car races, a
kids autocross and a field trip to spend the night at the Fort
Worth Zoo.
Later in the week, drivers at TMS participated in
a competitive Autocross and DE (Driver’s Education) training. The DE was held on the Texas Motor Speedway
road/oval course, complete with chicane on the front
straight. Wrapping up the week, drivers went wheel to wheel
in competitive Porsche Club Racing on Friday and Saturday.
Club Racing is an opportunity for Porsche Club members to
compete with each other in a “Gentleman’s Race.” The cars
are both straight stock and fully prepared race cars but all
must meet strict safety requirements. Dan Pastorini,
Houston Quarterback piloted his Porsche 996 to a win in the
Feature race.
The week was action packed and filled with other events
– even an art show, a goodie store, tours and hospitality areas
- for all types of Porsche owners. The 50th Porsche Parade
will be June 25 - July 2, 2005 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

well as a list of all the wonderful sponsors who made this
event possible.

was the best of the day:
“The Cars are cleaner than when they come from the
Factory!”
Besides the perfectly prepared Concours cars, there were
lots of other Porsche-related eye-candy to see. Doug Molny
arranged for a great display of Club Race cars and Charlie
Davis was able arrange for a large group of cars from the 914
Special Interest
Group (SIG).
Not to be out
done, there were
a pair of RS
Americas, a car
driven
from
Mexico and several
Porsche
tractors owned
by the one and

Maybee from
Colorado. You
remember
George; his place
has been shown
in Pano and
Excellence. It’s
the Gmund factory re-created in
Colorado. What
a great guy.
Main Street in Fort Worth was a perfect venue
Perhaps one
of the best displays outside the Concours itself was the historic
display coordinated by Ed Mayo. Somehow Ed managed to display all the significant 911 models in honor of the 40th year
anniversary.
I can’t end without thanking the Concours team of Dennis
Poquiz, Bill Campell, Scott Olson, Andy Miller and Doug
Molny. Special thanks go out to John Takehara, head judge,
Stephanie Anderson, chief of scoring, James Shoffit, Parade
scoring and Karen Erz, trophies.
Everyone did just a superb job.

Report from the 49th Concours d’Elegance
hat’s the title from Sundance Square’s monthly flyer. It is
referring to the premier events scheduled during June and
July in Sundance Square. And so it was that Sundance
Square and the City of Ft. Worth were our hosts for the 49th
Porsche Parade Concours d’Elegance. The day was perfect
weather-wise and the lineup of cars along the red bricks of Main
Street was pretty impressive.
Seventythree cars were
official entrants
in the Concours
d’Elegance. The
cars ranged from
some of the earliest 356’s to the
latest GT3’s and a
little bit of everything in between.
They came from
Massachusetts,
Wa s h i n g t o n
State, California,
you name it.
There were also
entrants from
Maverick,
Lonestar and Hill
Country Regions
representing
Texas. Judging
Scott Olson captured a great view of the Concours began at 9 with
the winners officially announced at the Concours banquet that evening.
Special for me was the chance to escort Peter Porsche, Peter
Schwarzenbauer (PCNA) and Jack Bair (PCNA) along the
Concours venue as they attempted to pick the
car for the honorary judges choice award. Trying to get a
concensus here is pretty difficult considering that each car is
beautiful, historic or both. Finally they concluded that a black
356 owned by Bill Jones, from right here in Texas, was the best
of the best. But, maybe Peter’s comment

Tech Quiz & Historics

Olcha, I instead worked
towards gathering a complete range of 911 models
to commemorate the
model’s 40th anniversary. I
had one of the two
remaining 901 prototypes,
to an 04 GT-3, and 18
significant models in
between. It was amazing to
look at the stages of evolution between those two
bookends. I would like to
thank Tom Williams, Mike
Orlie, and Jay Moore for
their help Monday morning getting the historic The “newer” end of the historics display was eye-catching
display organized.
So I get through these two events and think that now I
can coast the rest of the week, then Mark Shevitz, our ace
emcee guy, tells me that he will be gone on a short business
trip Thursday night, so I’ll need to emcee the tech quiz
awards banquet. Well, somehow I got thru that, but with a
much greater appreciation of what Mark does that he makes
look so easy.
So now we can look forward to the Hershey Parade, I’ll
be easy to spot, I’ll be the one looking very relaxed!

o paraphrase a well known football sportscaster,“turn off
the engines, the party’s over.” Well, our party is over, and
by all accounts we threw a pretty good one. My part of
this wing-ding was the tech quiz and the historic car display. I
have learned that I would much rather take the quiz than write
it! I started almost 2 years ago, wrote about 350 questions, had
help from Cliff Blackshear, who wrote the Cayenne section,
and Keith Olcha, who did the club race section. My daughter
Michele took all my handwritten questions and transcribed
them to an electronic media. Also, besides all the other things
she had to preside over, her “chairness” did a lot of computer
work for me. Michele was also very considerate in that she had
her baby two weeks before Parade started so she could help me
at registration. The PCR requires that the quiz be reviewed
by the tech committee, the quiz was done and in their hands by
end of January 04. Most of their reviews were back to me
by end of April, then started the process of all the revisions that
were necessary. David Seeland gave me the lion’s share of
revisions. He is really good at making the question structure
perfect enough that it’s not likely to be protested. He should
know, back when
he used to take the
quizzes he protested more than 10
questions one year.
It was difficult to fit the tech
quiz into the busy
schedule of this
year’s parade, so

in memory, it was

held
Wednesday
evening instead of
Saturday morning. This was to accommodate the club race
being a part of Parade week. However as Mike Robbins
pointed out to me, this was not the first time a PCA race was
held in conjunction with the parade. It seems we were not
the first to do this, a PCA race was run as part of the 1964
Parade. So we only repeated history, not made it.
I did accomplish the two goals I had set out for the quiz
though. They were for the winners to score in the 70 to 80%
range and to not have any protests.
During this same time frame I was also trying to gather
cars for the historic display. I quickly discovered that I wasn’t
going to get the
collection of race
and special model
Porsches that I
had wanted. The
distance to Texas,
and the number
of other events
(Amelia
Island,
Rennsport Reunion,
and Speedsterfest)
were too big to
overcome. On a sugTech activities were very popular

Parade Autocross Lists...
By Charlie Davis
We made lists for the 2004 Parade AX. Here is a list of our goals:
1. Be safe
2. Put on an event that entrants enjoy and remember
3. Be accurate…no errors
4. Run the event quickly, with little down time
5. Give more than 3 runs
6. Be on schedule
7. Make the course big and fast
8. Minimize DNFs due to getting lost
9. Make it entertaining for the spectators
10. Attract Club Race entrants
11. Set a good example of timing and posting
12. Set a good example of pylon usage
Here are the results:
1. No accidents! Nobody even came close.
2. Time will tell, but they were smiling and talking about it during
the week. I noted that after the first day, the word spread about how
much fun it was. A lot of people decide to not run on Wednesday,
but the next two days were well attended. I think they liked it…
3. We did a great job. There was one complaint about a DNF called
in error, but there were no protests all week (FTE).
Note: FTE means “First Time Ever”, a Maverick tradition is to “break
new ground”
4. We had only a couple of unavoidable coolant spills, which we
cleaned up quickly. It ran like clockwork!
5. We gave everyone 5 runs. (FTE).
6. We started behind schedule every day due to the wrecker being
late, but we caught up and finished before 1:00 PM 2 of the 3 days.
The day we finished late was due to a massive spill.
7. It was big (just under a mile in length), fast (TTOD winner a
veraged 43.7 MPH), and fun too, I hear. Some of us are spoiled with
the size of the MineralRing. I had several attendees mention how big
and smooth the TMS Bus Lot was…and that they wished they had a
facility like that. Wonder what they would have thought of the Ring?
8. Most DNFs were due to over-exuberant driving, not confusion.
9.We had great announcing by Terry Zaccone and Dan Shields! Oh,
and Mark Shevitz helped out one day. (FTE)
10. Fourteen Club Race drivers entered the AX.
11. We posted results quickly following the end of each group. 5-10
minutes was typical. There were zero timing problems all week.
12. Unfortunately, we failed with the pylons. The Safety Committee
insisted that we add a few “pointer” cones, but they were located
inconsistently. Bummer…
This AX was a group effort. We struggled at times over the
past year and a half to get everything planned and tested. We had
several new things to sort out:
1. Truxster with roof platform for Loggers
2. New timing hardware
3. New timer software (for the new hardware)
4. New PA system
5. Hundreds and hundreds of new pylons
6. New parking lot
7. New PCR rules and classes
16
Plus, we had some new operational protocols to adapt to.
Everything worked beautifully thanks to the Parade AX
Committee,who worked diligently to make this event a great success:
1. Cody Sears
2. Jerry Fleming
3. Mike Lockas
4. James Shoffit
5. Mitch Williams
6. Darron Shaffer
7. Rose Gohlke
8. Steve Christensen
9. Shelly Burbank
10. Ed Mayo
11. Chuck Machala
12. Kevin Hardison
13. Tim Machala
14. Andy Mears
15. Rocky Johnson
Although she was not on the committee (due to other
important work), I want to thank Wendy Shoffit for helping with
workers and timing. Then there were the hundreds of volunteers
who braved the Texas weather to help out. Thanks!
Here are the statistics:
1. Total Competitors = 227
2. Total Runs = 1105 (4.87 runs/competitor, average)
3. Total run time = 900 minutes (a car every 48 sec)
4. Total Pylons Hit = 203 (1 pylon per 5.44 runs)
5. Total DNFs = 88 (7.96%)
6. 14 Club Racers entered the AX. (They took four 1st, three
2nd, and two 3rd trophies. That should dispel the myth that
Club Racers can’t autocross!)
7. 144 drivers peaked (best time) on the 5th run.
8. 48 peaked on the 4th run.
9. 23 peaked on the 3rd run (“real” AXers peak early).
10. 1 peaked on the 2nd run.
11. 1 peaked on the 1st run. (but not THAT early…)
12. Percentage 911s = 27.75%
13. Percentage 911s (and variants) = 51.10%
14. Percentage 914s = 14.54%
15. Percentage water pumpers = 44.49%
16. Percentage water dumpers = 0.88%
17. Percentage Club Race drivers = 6.17%
The number of competitors was low, probably due to competition from the other events. There were lots of MR members who
worked the DE and CR instead of running the AX. Some entrants
with 2 drivers per car also skipped the AX to do the DE. Then there
was competition from the RC car event and the kid’s AX. Such is
Parade…choices…and this year they were good choices!
It’s interesting that once again (5 years in a row), the Boxster
beat the Boxster S. Both the S and P categories turned out this way.
Class S4 was 84.332 vs Class S5 at 84.549, both Boxster S’s. Class
P23 was 81.480 vs Class P24 at 81.723, both non-S Boxsters. I think
it’s conclusive now…for AXing, the late (big) Boxster is a better
weapon than the Boxster S.

There were several “new” drivers, who were outstanding from
my perception. Some of these may be known to others, but they surprised me. First was William Walker, who had the 2nd fastest time
overall in M3. Next was Don Lillig, who beat Terry Zaccone in P11
(this hasn’t happened often!). Then there was Diana Hansen, who
was less than 0.2 second behind her husband in P18 and the 10th
fastest time overall. Diana also gets my “hero” label for jumping into
the Pre-Staging arena on Wednesday and helping us run that successfully.
Last year in Tampa, MR did well in the AX and brought home
lots of those “interesting”sand thingies (every MR AX entrant except
one brought home a trophy from Florida). So this year, Suncoast and
Gold Coast members paid us back somewhat. Especially P24 where
Dan Shields beat Keith, Darron, and Tim. Note that 3 of the 4 ladies
in the Top 30 list are from Florida.And the Floridians took home nice
looking trophies, thanks to Karen Erz. (wink)
Oh,I forgot to mention that the rain and lightning missed us.YES!
We were very tired, but pleased that we orchestrated a class event.
I’ve posted a list of the results of the 2004 Parade AX.All runs are
listed and I’ve included a “Best Driver” list, where I attempt to normalize the car out of the equation. The Parade-Best Autocross Driver
Index is based on Speed, Consistency, and Control. Go take a look at:

ore than 450 folks enjoyed Riscky’s BBQ served in
the spacious Stampede Room at the historic
Stockyards during Parade’s Volunteer Worker Party
sponsored by new sponsor CDOC. Plenty of great parking,
clear signage, and a Big Smile and “Howdeee!” from Minnie
Pearl (Taxi Breithaupt!) welcomed everyone with the yellow
ticket of Parade Smooches. While often this special “thank
you party” is little more than a quiet reception for the
hundreds of folks who help to pull off each Parade, this year’s
gathering was a REAL
Party! Live C & W music
from our own Hill
Country Maverick, Ted
Morgan and his friend
Ruben Darnell were the
opening act in a series
of “special guest” appearances. Maverick DJ, John
Hamilton was also on
hand to play the traditional western dance tunes
throughout the evening.
Before the night was
over, we had visits, songs
Linda Bambina “Dale Evans”
and silliness from Patsy
Cline (our own local “CRAZY” lady, Lanean Hughes,
coordinator/facilitator extraordinaire), Willie Nelson
... our own local “CRAZY” lady ...

who brought the house down
when welcoming Peter
Porsche who came in as Roy
Rogers! He was led
(dragged?) to the stage by
Dale Evans (me!) wearing
ribbon ringlets attached to a
white plastic cowgirl hat and
decked out in a plastic tablecloth circle skirt with mylar
fringe. Peter looked very
much like the “King of the
Cowboys” in his Texas-Flag,
fringed cowboy shirt and
western hat as we all sang
“Happy Trails To You” as our
good-bye and good-night to
the camera-crazed crowd of
smiling faces.

Hospitality
by Fran Ussery
A
fter nine days of smiling and being “nice”, I can be
ME again! Actually, that was a wonderful nine
days. I’m talking about Parade Hospitality at
Porsche Parade 2004 in Fort Worth. For those of you that
came by and gave me and my wonderful staff (Tinker
Edwards, Michele deJong, Tricia Henderson, Sandi Lapp
and Clay Perrine) big hugs, we thank you. For those of
you Mavericks that did not take part in Parade... shame
on you. You missed one Texas-sized party.
... AND acted as “wrench” on the
coke fountain ...
Photo by Linda Bambina
Part of being the 2004 Hospitality chair was hosting three venues during the week. The first venue and
actually the first impression of Parade 2004, was our
welcome “tent” on the east side of Fort Worth,
Saturday and Sunday opening the Parade week. This
area was staffed by Tricia Henderson and Sandi Lapp,
who braved the sun and heat to greet the travelers with
cold water, maps and information and beautiful Texas
smiles. And of course, they were dressed the part!
Thanks, ladies! We also want to thank your sponsor,
Autobahn, for providing the water and to Bimbo
Bakeries (Mrs. Baird’s) for providing the facility.
The largest venue was the hospitality room at the
Worthington Hotel, sponsored by Park Place Porsche.
In our 6,000 square feet, we had displays from many of
the other Parade sponsors including PCNA, an internet
cafe sponsored by Powerhouse Racing, information
central with maps and brochures for entertainment
areas, historical and cultural areas and shopping areas.
In addition to the free-flowing coffee, soft drinks,
snacks and popcorn, we hosted a wine tasting and a
“kegger.” With music by “We’re from Comfort and
You’re Not” (members Don Breithaupt, Ted Morgan,
Jean Fricke, all Mavericks, and Joe Holzer from New
York), we had a great Tuesday night party. And what
better decoration than a speed yellow GT3 from
PCNA.
Our coolest venue was TMS hospitality, again
sponsored by Park Place Porsche and handled by
Michele deJong. To offset the heat of the autocross, the
Clubhouse at the Lone Star Condos was converted into
a cool shelter with tables and chairs, lounges to relax,
Gatorade, water and snacks and a Texas-shaped pool
for those that needed emersion therapy! Thanks,
Michelle.
My two right hands (yep I have two right hands!)
Tinker Edwards and Clay Perrine were there to help
with all aspects and to answer questions and soothe the
tired spirit. In addition, Tinker developed the Texas
Parade Passport, researching places and things,
definitions and Texas history for our visitors as well
as bringing in lots of information on services and
restaurants for our guests. Clay not only acquired and
reformatted the seven computers for the internet cafe,
he maintained it during the week, set up a game
computer and Playstation AND acted as “wrench” on
the coke fountain. Wow, thanks to you both.
Am I glad the week is over? Yes. Am I glad the week
is over? NO! By Friday, I was having the time of my life,
I made some great new Porsche friends with Maverick
Region folks and those that came to our Parade from
across the country. If you missed it...shame on you!
Just ask those that attended, they’ll tell you!

(Pumpkin) time. Father's Day
weekend provided the framework for a (Cherry) successful event
at Motorsport Ranch. Many new
(Lime Green) participants coming
out to their first event experienced
a weekend of Blue(Berry) skies and

Autocross #3

... power out of the box to the
dreaded doughnut! ...

After checking out of the hotel, we were at the track
shortly after 7:00 AM. Volunteers had set up the Joel Nannis
designed course the night before, so after unloading my
dad’s 3.2L 914-6, we were ready to walk the course. The first
feature had many different names; dueling skid-pads,
double barrel shotgun, crazy eight, and so on. This was
basically a counterclockwise skid-pad followed immediately by an adjacent clockwise skid-pad. Joel did a good job
setting these up, because I did not hear of any wet-sump
motors suffering from oil starvation.
After exiting the crazy eight, there was a long right
hand sweeper reminiscent of the time trial course the day
before. This was essentially a full throttle feature. At the end
of the sweeper was an eight-cone slalom with a gentle right
hand curve which lead you to the box. It was possible
to enter an exit the box on a straight line, but everyone
quickly figured out this resulted in a bad line to the next
feature, not to mention the possibility of taking out a wall
of pointing cones. Most people ended up downshifting and
turning in the middle of the box and then were able to
power out of the box to the dreaded doughnut!
You had to enter and exit the doughnut through the
same gate. Once inside, you had to maneuver your car
around a fifteen foot diameter mini skid-pad while
avoiding an outer circle of penalty cones waiting for anyone
that might have entered a little too hot. After exiting the
doughnut, you had to fight off your dizziness and locate the
single pivot cone out on the tarmac. Then all you had to do
was negotiate the offset gates that brought you to the finish
chute. This finish chute was immediately after the timing
trap and must have been comprised of fifteen or twenty
fluorescent green cones on each side which all still counted
as penalty cones. This was a big incentive to be going slow
after you finished (ask Mike Lockas).
Each of the 28 drivers got 5 laps in the morning and 4
laps in the afternoon. The threatening weather held off and
we were done by 2:00. The usual “go-fast” drivers were fast:
Chuck Machala, Mark Steele, and Cody Sears. These guys
were all 15% faster than my car (notice I blame it on my car,
not the driver). Chuck and Mark are not only great drivers,
but they also have technologically advanced driving
machines. Cody is the one I have a hard time
rationalizing. Allegedly, the only difference between his
car and mine is soft
compound racing tires.
To help me shed
some light on this
mystery, I asked Cody
to take me for a ride
after the time trials on
Saturday. I do not

condition. All I needed
to experience was the first hard turn after the long backside
straight away on course number one. Of course Cody had
his foot planted to the floor almost from the first turn, so
his little red 914 had to be at terminal velocity by the end of
the straight. We passed the braking cones with full throttle
applied, as if they were any other ordinary boundary
marking cones. I then saw all the black tire marks on the
pavement where most mortals abruptly apply their brakes.
These too we passed at full steam without regard. I had
given up any hope of slowing down enough to make the
turn and resigned myself to the certainty of launching
straight ahead into the knee deep grass of the adjacent
pasture when suddenly I felt a shooting pain in both my
shoulders and my hips simultaneously. When I regained
consciousness, Cody was chirping his tires around a tight
corner muttering something about never figuring out the
correct line. Now I understand.

had done the Time Trial the day before and needed a full
night to sleep off the belly full of Baris Italian food. We had
our first cup of hotel room coffee while trying to ignore the
bad news weather forecast on the television. The next step in
our routine was to drive my little yellow 914 to the local

Nacogdoches Tour
by Sara Gutreise
N
acogdoches Part 2 is the 2004 version of the Maverick
Region Porsche Club tour deep into the Piney Woods of
East Texas. Part 2 was a different tour than Part 1 in 2003.
There were different roads, there were new roads, there were
higher gas prices (choke!), and new restaurants to indulge… the
best part of the tour. As the tour participants know – all good
roads lead to good food.
After driving winding roads all morning, we had lunch in
Crockett, just on the Eastern edge of the Davey Crockett National
Forest. We ate a New Orleans style lunch at Benton’s New Orleans
& Italian Café. “This restaurant is just off the square and offers
spiced-to-perfection seafood gumbo and a saucy shrimp Creole
counterbalanced by garlic bread and excellent salads.” That is how
Texas Highways magazine described the food. They just forgot to
describe the desserts. The two favorites being bananas foster pie
and chocolate mousse cake. A hand painted mural of a New
Orleans courtyard covers one of the inside walls, and makes you
wonder where you really are. New Orleans or Texas.
For all you blues afficianados, Crockett is also the site of the
Sam (Lightnin’) Hopkins memorial.
And yes, the town was named for you-know-who after he
camped nearby on his way to the Alamo. The site was very near
the Old San Antonio Road. A family of Tennesseans donated the
land for the town and named it after Crockett, who they had
known back in Tennessee.
After lunch, we headed east through the Davey Crockett
National Forest and other great roads close to the Louisiana
24
border. We arrived in Nacogdoches with time to rest and ponder
how the 175 mile drive from Dallas to Nacogdoches took us over
400 miles? Really, it was just a typical tour. There is no quickest
line between two points, and even Porsche says, “The secret to
life is enjoying the curves it throws at you.”
Following the Sunday morning run through the beautiful
historic section of Nacogdoches between the Chadwich trained
“Ted the Streak” and the untrained “Borrowed Shoes Miller”, the
Porsches lined up and headed southwest.
Dallas was Northwest. So, in a normal tour round-about
way, after driving some of the most beautiful canopied roads in
Texas, we did start to head in a northwesterly direction. We had
to, since our lunch stop was going to be at Fuller’s Find Food in
Tyler. This homestyle restaurant was started in 1950 and is still
run by the Fuller family. 50 years! Try and find a restaurant that
has been around that long in Dallas.
After lunch it was back into the Porsches for a nap. Actually,
after lunch we drove more of the beautiful back roads (like
Sammy Hagar says, “I can’t drive I-20”) back to DFW. Another
great tour by our fantastic Tourmeister!
For all the members who have not participated in a tour,
you are missing a lot. I have seen and learned about parts of
Texas that I never knew existed. And, what makes it even better,
is that I have enjoyed the great roads, great food, great hotels,
and great company in a great car. If Ferry Porsche had come to
Texas, I am sure this is just the way he could have done it.

Remember to Renew!
Contrary to magazines which start reminding you to renew 13 years before your current
subscription expires, PCA only sends out one renewal notice. If you do not pay your dues before
(or *slightly* after) your membership expires, you will be dropped from the national roster.
That means you'll no longer get Panorama, Slipstream, or first priority into DEs! PCA makes it
easy to renew with both mail-in forms and online registration. Besides, it's only $42 per year!
If you are thinking of not renewing, please contact one of the board members on page 4 so we
can know what we're doing that isn't suiting you. If we don't know that there's a problem, we
can't fix the problem.
We want you to be happy in the club and are doing our very best to schedule a variety of events
for everyone.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Value
Trust's inception date is 4/16/82. The investment return and principal value of the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not
been waived in various periods. The S&P 500 index is based on
common stock prices, including reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions, and is generally considered representative of the U.S. stock market. Source: Lipper Inc.
