Viewpoints ... by Charlie Davis, Region President

I've become aware that I don't know you! That's a shame, because

I really need to.

There are about 100 very active MR members and 800 lurkers. I'm

specifically talking about (and to) you 800 lurkers. You 100 active guys

and gals can come back next month. Bye!

OK, now that they are gone, I'm concerned that those active

members are dominating this Region. Heck, I know they are! Why,

they think that just because they do all the work, they get to make all

the decisions, run the club THEIR way, and have all the fun! Every

time someone suggests that we need to get more members involved,

they panic. I guess they are afraid that you might want to do things dif

ferently?

They have a derogatory name for you guys ... "Pano Member",

implying that all you want is to get our slick, award-winning national

magazine each month. If that were true, you would not be reading this!

But we both know, you are! So much for their understanding of you

unseen members and what you want out of PCA and Maverick Region.

We periodically compose a "Survey" and mail it out to everyone,

hoping to understand our membership. It never works, because you

guys are too smart to fall for that and nobody sends the survey back.

Oh, we do get some, perhaps 10-15%, but that is mostly those same

100 active members. Thus, the results always tell us that what the 100

active members are doing is what everyone wants us to do.

We are planning to do another survey this year ... but want to do

it differently this time. We will select a cross-section of MR members

and have volunteers call and ask them a set of questions. Then we will

compile the answers and analyze them statistically, to hopefully get

good, representative answers about what everyone wants.

Here is my real concern: Can we trust those other guys to write

your answers down correctly? What if they figure out what we are

doing? Probably would be a good idea for a bunch of you to volunteer

to make the survey phone calls, right? If enough of you volunteer, we

can leave them out completely! They are tired, anyway.

To be honest, there is some risk in this plan ... by asking you to

become even just a tiny bit active, you might go to the other side and

become one of those active members. We would then have to call them

the 101 active members? Or 102? It's not that this is a problem .. .I can

handle the inflated numbers. The real issue is that the results of the

survey will be wrong! It takes a lot of effort and some real $$$ to do

these surveys and I don't want to have the results invalidated by some

spineless, inactive members, who get a little excited and think that they

are up to doing something else (other than the survey). Don't do it! If

you can't stay inactive for at least a year after the survey, just say "No"

when we ask you to help us conduct the survey.

But, if you've got what it takes, call me at 940-682-4719 or write

me at [email protected] and let's get started. Shhhhh .. .it's our little

secret.

By the way, Graham Lane is in charge of our Y2K Survey. He's a

rather new member (but unfortunately has been very active for sever

al years, mostly doing everything). He's doing a fantastic job of writing

the Y2K Survey and we expect it to be enjoyable for both the surveyor

and the surveyed.

Have Fun .. .I did!

She Said ...

by Wendy Shotfit, Editor

Let me start off by saying that if any of you have a desire to ski in a relatively far away place (from DFW), I'd like to recommend Whistler, British Columbia (about 2 hours northeast of Vancouver). This is James' and my third year in a row vacationing there and I can't even imagine going anywhere else. I'm not going to get into any of the details, but suffice it to say that it is an INCREDIBLE place to be! If you are interested, ask me and I'll tell you alllll about it (I might even throw in a picture or two).

Okay ... now that my vacation is all over (sniffle), it's time to get back to business. I am looking forward to working with the new "administration" of people stepping up to fill the board, chairman, and worker positions. Hearing about all the changes happening is very exciting. I am particularly eager to get this year's autocross season started. March 4th isn't very far away. Make sure you mark your calendars! I believe this year will be particularly beneficial to those of you potential first-timers who aren't quite sure if you should come out and race your "baby" or not. The way things seem to be structured, there will be lots of opportunity for you to learn in a stress-free way, not be intimidated by the super drivers, and have fun in the process. Come on out and try it!

My last comment is for all of you who have your Porsches predominantly parked in the garage ... GET THEM OUT! You must live life to its fullest. If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today? Get it out, drive it, and enjoy it to its fullest! If you are nervous about it, come out to one of our events and we'll help allay your fears. Hope to see you soon!

He Said ...

by Tames Shotfit, Editor

There are going to be a lot of changes this year (which you will no doubt read about in other articles, both in this issue and following ones) that are intended to increase attendance at all of our events. These are very exciting times!

I think the changes to the autocross are very positive. New classes will help people new to autocrossing compete against each other as opposed to competing with those who have heavily modified cars and years of experience. A new format will also allow more learning to take place at each event so that the new folks come upto-speed much faster than those of us who learned most things the hard way. This year there also are at least three drivers' ed events (two at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, TX and one at Hallett, OK) to help us all learn more about controlling our cars at speed. For people who want to attend the DE events, it is strongly encouraged that you attend some auto crosses beforehand, if possible. The car control you learn in autocross will be beneficial both on the street as well as at the DE events.

Speaking of Hallett, I will be coordinating workers for the May event. If anyone reading this would like to volunteer to work that event (May 26-28, Memorial Day weekend), please let me know at 972-506-7449 or [email protected]. It will be a lot of fun, and you will get to see cars and people that will render you speechless! We need grid, timing, hospitality, and registration workers. If you want to work a corner, you will get the best seat in the house!

Maverick Minutes by Alan Lage, Region Secretary

First off, I would like to thank Kay Leibel for filling in as the secretary in December. I was stuck in Atlanta during the week of the board meeting. The 12 Jan 2000 meeting was held at the home of Ed and Jan Mayo in Ft. Worth. Charlie Davis, the new president, began the meeting at 6:55 p.m. by introducing some of the newer club members in attendance. He then discussed how the board meetings would be run this year, explaining the voting procedures and when and where meetings will be held. Watch future issues of Slipstream if you would like to attend a meeting. All members are invited and food and drink will be provided. We then discussed one of the clubs goals this year - how to increase driving event attendance. Charlie then asked each of the board members and event chairmen to come up with their goals for the year.

Charlie next reported that Graham Lane is working on a membership survey, with the results being compiled into a Microsoft Access spreadsheet. This information will be used to get a feel for what the membership would like the club to do for them, with the end result being increased attendance and participation in all aspects of the club. Tinker Edwards next explained the mentoring program that we will use to introduce new members to club activities and other members.

Next up, Andy Mears and Linda Bambina led a discussion on Slipstream distribution. The goal is to make Slipstream distribution simpler and more timely by cleaning up our membership database and using bar code technology. Teri Davis then acted as Wendy Shoffit, our Slipstream editor, discussing the need for a Mac computer and software for Slipstream publishing. The board voted to buy a new monitor and software. The Mac will be donated to the region. We also need a Slipstream assistant editor. Give Wendy a call if you would like to help.

Charlie then began a discussion on the need for a second set of autocross equipment and a trailer to haul the equipment in for local events. After the careful consideration of everyone present, we decided to stick with one set of equipment and to use member trucks to move the equipment to the autocross venue as we investigate trailers and other issues involved with this decision. Nelson Hodges and others said they would look into the price of trailers that would meet the region's needs.

Brian Scudder then gave a club race update. The race will be held Memorial Day weekend at Hallet in Oklahoma. Brian reviewed the costs and what will need to be done to put on the race. Sponsors and volunteers are needed. Brian also announced that the February Drivers' Education event at Motorsports Ranch is sold out plus. We then discussed locations for local time trials and autocross events. We will

be putting on some events in the metroplex this year.

Kay Leibel next gave us a Goodie Store update. She proposed clearing out the old merchandise with a sale and showed us new merchandise for the 2000 Goodie Store. The board voted yes to the clearance sale and gave Kay a budget for the new merchandise. Vaughan Garrett phoned in to say that the February swap meet is under control. Teri Davis gave a Rally School update. If you ever had an interest in learning how to rally, this is the event for you. Lanean Hughes gave a Hope Shelter announcement. Maverick Region is the largest contributor to the shelter and we need your help in continuing to support this charity. Nelson Hodges then gave us a tour update. We plan to have four tours this year - two 3-day tours and two I-day tours. See Slipstream for up-to-date tour information.

The meeting adjourned at 9:55 p.m. Remember don't let your Porsche be a garage queen. Let's see you at the next region event.

The Power of One March by Linda Bambina I Dtnner

Social I am rarely just an observer. I'm usually in the "thick" of things

where organizations are concerned. I have been involved in the Maverick Region in a variety of ways since the early 80's. I have been only an observer where the local 356 "Tub Club" is concerned. But I want to take this opportunity to say that there really IS power in a single individual even with large organizations. I started to write a long, long tribute to Don Rutherford for his amazing contribution to that very unique group, but suffice it to say that sometimes all it takes is the dedication and perseverance of ONE PERSON to make a profound difference in an organization.

March 11, 2000

Maverick Region is much, much larger than the Tub Club and has a larger, broader-based range of activities for it's almost 1,000 members over a huge hunk of Texas and sometimes all it takes is ONE PERSON to make a difference and get things moving and happening. Like tours? Like tech sessions? Like nice dinner places? Have you got a hobby or an outside interest or have you been to an unusual place and what to share that with our club? Do you KNOW OF ANYONE who might be an interesting "program" or a place where we could drive (!) to visit on a Sunday afternoon?

And when you hear yourself say, "Somebody ought to do something" .... Remember: YOU ARE SOMEONE.

''Maverick Happy Hour a Hit," Say all! by Benjamin Witry

Our first happy hour this month at Champps in Addison, TX appeared to be very successful! So successful that Tinker, Ruben, and I have decided to make this a monthly event. We had over 15 members show up.

There were some new faces and some old faces that we haven't seen in awhile. Connie Weaver, a new Boxster owner and George and Pamela Abdalla were the new faces to our group. So welcome aboard, guys! The happy hour allowed alot of us who are busy on the weekends to gather together and welcome the evening as we got off work.

The music played, the martinis were dry, and a good time was had by all. Some of the familiar faces to the group were Lanean, Brian, Steve Fallon and Ruben just to name a few. Ideas of making this monthly event a theme are still in the on the drawing board.

We have decided that next month's happy hour will be at The Old Monk at 2847 N. Henderson Ave on February 10, 2000 around 6:30 pm. We d like to thank all of you who showed up at Champps and we hope to see you all at The Old Monk in February.

Porsche at the London Y2K Auto Show by lohn Cochran, Correspondent, Slipstream USA

"It don't get no better than this!" I thought as I strolled through the aisles of The London Auto Show at Earls Court Exhibit Hall. At the time, I had paused on my search for the Porsche exhibit to watch television crews film the introduction of the new Rover autocars. There were lots of beautiful models, the two-legged kind as well as the four-wheeled sort, to distract even the most devoted Porschophile.

Suzanne and I were on the last day of a three-day stop over in London in transit home from Greece and Turkey. This trip was one of a celebration and our daughter from Denver had joined us to visit our son who had been working on the Isle of los in the Aegean Sea. This trip was a celebration because Suzanne and I had been forced earlier this year to cancel our trip to Quebec for our first Porsche Parade. The reason? The May mammogram at the Susan G. Komen Institute at Baylor Hospital was positive, thus necessitating a modified radical mastectomy. The surgery forced cancellation of many of our plans to join Maverick Region events during the Summer and Fall. Thus, we rewarded Suzanne's more than excellent recovery with a family trip.

Now in the midst of the best the automobile world has to offer right-hand drivers, I found myself strolling, eyes agog, while Suzanne shopped. She gave me only two hours to complete my tour. I promised not to get lost. Earls' Court is probably one of the largest exhibit halls anywhere. The two-story structure had not only new cars from every manufacturer, some of which I had never seen, but a large collection of old Porsches, one of which was the absolutely most perfect 356 restoration possible.

While searching for the Porsche exhibit, I wandered past the new Lotus Elise and questioned why Lotus felt the need to position lovely young women on such a beautiful car. While their smiles were compelling, the car was enough to catch the attention of all the press gathered for this event. Yep, this was press day and I was one lucky Texan to get in.

The Boxster S in stunning red

You see, I only learned of the auto show that morning while listening to the telly and gazing from the hotel window into the Kensington Palace grounds. The announcer promised that the week-long event was to be more spectacular than any other.

"Whoops! Gotta Go!," told Suzanne. After the short tube ride, we took pictures of the front of the exhibit hall and the 1958 Ford parked out front. A placard explained that this car had been hand built in England in 1998 based on a two foot plaster model that Ford had designed some forty years earlier. The craftsmanship was just superb and it was a fitting introduction for all entering the exhibit hall. Although it was early in the morning, there was already a hoard of people mingling about, many with the latest television

and photographic camera equipment one could possibly imagine.

One thing I did notice was that everyone coming in and leaving had more or less of a license plate hanging from a cord draped their necks. We went to the ticket booth and plopped down the Visa card, requesting two tickets. "Sorry Sir," the clerk replied. "This is press day and not even I can get in the building." I begged, pleaded and did my most eloquent final argument to date, all to no avail. Tickets were on sale but, he explained, the next day would be the first day for the public. We were scheduled to depart Gatwick early the next day and I knew this called for creative thinking if we were going to gain entrance.

Suzanne and I sauntered over to the main entrance doors. I was able to peek in and see uniformed guards dutifully checking credentials before allowing anyone to enter beyond the building lobby. "Well, at least we can get in the lobby," I thought. And we did. Once in, we noticed a long table with applications for journalists needing press passes. We queued up to get an application. I began writing but was quickly stumped. The application requested the identity of the publication I represented and my job title. My quick-witted wife reminded me that I had earlier in the year written an article for Slipstream. "Perfect," I thought as I proceeded to complete the application revealing my life as a Correspondent to Slipstream in the USA.

"Now, what do I do?" I thought to myself with the completed application in hand. I decided to get close behind one of these other gents making application and just follow along. I watched and listened as they were all routed smoothly through the process by the two smiling ladies to whom I then handed my application. One immediately began an interrogation. "May I see your credentials?" I apologized for not having any and explained that I would

be preparing an article for Slipstream. "What is Slipstream?" she queried. I replied with all sincerity, "Why that's the monthly magazine of the Porsche Club of America in North Texas." She seemed mollified but continued, "What do you have to prove you are a correspondent?" Whew, she had me there. I explained that I had published one article earlier this year but did not have it with me. I showed her my small digital camera and explained that Maverick Region members would enjoy seeing the great photos that I could share. Frowning and entirely skeptical, she asked for a business card. Aha! I had one of those. I whipped out my business card clearly revealing myself as a member of the Cochran & Cochran law firm in Dallas. I thought, "she ain't gonna buy this" but to my surprise, she stapled the card to the application and handed it to the lady beside her with instructions to prepare my press pass.

Soon, Suzanne and I presented my new credentials to the uniformed guards. Sorry, they said. Your wife cannot accompany you. This is for press only. Suzanne laughed and said for me to go on in. She would occupy her time with two hours of shopping, a pastime of which she was well prepared.

silver brochures containing a CD-Rom with pictures of all the new models as well as pricing and other data of interest to automobile journalists. Walking further through the exhibit, Porsche invited their guests to a bar, fully equipped with tables and chairs, and all of which was clearly intended to lure the press into spending time dining and drinking on the Porsche dime while learning more about the 2000 models. A nearby mockup of the brake system explained the drilled rotors and red-colored calipers. A 996 coupe had been halved to show all the interior parts of the engine and suspension. A retail store made up another part of the Porsche exhibit. There, the company displayed their entire line of clothing, jewelry, glasses, watches and other lifestyle accessories. I had not seen such a large assortment of selections outside of Zuffenhausen. Finally, a rainbow of Boxsters, Carreras and bicycles sat for close inspection. It was a massive exhibit, one obviously intended to show the worldwide press there assembled the entire line of products Porsche the marque has to offer.

Having used my allotted time wandering through the champagne splashed exhibit hall and all the other glitz that the automobile world could assemble to dazzle the television, radio and print industry, I headed back to the real world to meet the spouse of thirty-three years and give thanks for the Susan G. Komen Foundation and its founder, Nancy Brinker.

Hope Shelter Christmas Stockings

by Lanean Hughes

Ho, Ho, Ho! We were busy during the month of December for the Hope Shelter. We stuffed approximately 60 stockings with toys, cosmetics, candy, and other necessities for the Hope Shelter, along with some special gifts for the staff. Further, the "admission" for our annual holiday party held at the home of Dan and Linda Ruehs this year was a stuffed animal or toy for the shelter.

On Christmas Eve, Brian and I made our annual trip to the shelter, loaded to the top with goodies from the Maverick Santas. In addition to the stockings, we had over 60 stuffed animals and toys to give. The children were waiting for the Maverick Porsche 928 Sleigh to

Dorothy Thielisch, Wendy Shoffit, Annette Schindler, and Linda Bambina doing their parts to stuff the Hope Shelter stockings.

arrive, complete with Brian in his Santa hat.

This was a dual celebration for the shelter. Not only was the Christmas spirit all around, but also one of the children had a special reason to give thanks. Last year, she was a client of the shelter, but this year she had officially become the adopted daughter of one of the staff members. Brian and I loved being part of the merriment. The special hug from that little girl absolutely melted our hearts!

Our region's rewards are the smiles, hugs and tears, and knowing that if you truly believe, dreams do come true, and Santa always finds you no matter where you are!

Lanean with the appreciative recipients at the Hope Shelter.

Ferdinand Porsche Named "Car Engineer of the Century"

byPCNA LAS VEGAS, Dec. 19 -- Ferdinand Porsche, an automotive

innovator and a driving force for what has become one of the world's leading sports car manufacturers, was honored as Car Engineer of the Century at tonight's millennium-ending awards gala held at the Venetian Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas and organized by Car of the Century International N.V.

The independent Global Automotive Elections Foundation, which is made up of 132 leading members of the automotive community from 33 countries, oversaw the election of category candidates and the selection of category winners. Category finalists and winners were determined by votes from worldwide automotive journalists and enthusiasts alike.

In addition to the Car Engineer of the Century Award, other awards included the Car Designer of the Century, the Car Entrepreneur of the Century, the Car Executive of the Century, and the Car of the Century Awards. The category winners were Giorgetto Giugiaro, Henry Ford I, Ferdinand Piech, and Ford Model T, respectively.

Ferdinand Porsche was born on Sept. 3, 1875, in Maffersdorf, Bohemia. As a teenager he designed his community's first residential electric lighting system for the Porsche household. This helped earn him a student employee position at Bela Egger & Co., the Vienna, Austria-based electrical equipment and machinery manufacturer that later became Brown Boveri.

At Bela Egger & Co., Porsche designed an electric wheel hub motor that was used in 1899 to power the first electric car built by Vienna-based Lohner & Co. Over the next 18 years, Porsche also coupled the design with a petrol engine for cars and created a design hybrid for the Austrian army's Landwehr train and C train vehicles to move heavy equipment and supplies.

In 1906, Porsche was named technical director of AustroDaimler, where he designed pioneering aircraft engines; a 90-horsepower, four-cylinder car that won the Prince Henry Trials with a top speed of 87 mph; and his first small car -- the in-line four-cylinder Sascha. In 1922, the Sascha cars won 51 of the 52 races they entered.

In 1923 Porsche became technical director and a member of the board at what became Daimler-Benz and created the famous Mercedes S, SS, and SSK compressor models. In 1929, Porsche was named technical director of Steyr-Werke AG, Steyr, Austria, where he designed both the Type XXX with rear swing axles and a 5.3-liter, 100-horsepower, eight-cylinder overhead-valve engine. In 1931, he founded Dr. Ing.h.c.E Porsche GmbH, an engine and vehicle design and consulting firm that designed the 16-cylinder compressor engine for Auto-Union. Auto-Union Type P rearengine grand prix race cars dominated Formula races during the 1930s, and rear-engine designs remain a Porsche trademark today.

In 1934, Porsche began work on the Volkswagen, another Auto-Union project that eventually surpassed the Ford Model T in 1972 as history's production leader. The Volkswagen platform also

formed the basis for the rear-engine amphibious all-wheel drive Kubelwagen military vehicle, and all-wheel drive has carried over to today's 911 Carrera 4.

Ferdinand Porsche died in Stuttgart on Jan. 30, 1951. Soon after World War II his only son Ferry Porsche designed the Type 356, a rear-engine, air-cooled, four-cylinder 40-horsepower sports car that was greatly influenced by Ferdinand's innovations. His achievements lived on in the 356 -- the first car bearing the Porsche marque -- and are still evident in today's Porsche models.

Porsche 911 nominated for "Car of the Century" Award

The legendary Porsche 911 also was honored this evening as one of five finalists for the Car of the Century Award. The sports car was designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, son of Ferry Porsche, and introduced in September 1963 at the International Auto Show in Frankfurt as the successor to the Porsche 356. Many memorable 911 versions make up its 36-year history, including the original 148-horsepower 911, the 1967 911 Targa, the 1973 2.7-liter 911 Carrera RS, the 1976 911 Turbo Carrera, the 1983 911 Cabriolet, the 1989 911 Carrera 4, and the 1995 twin-turbo, 400-horsepower 911 Turbo Carrera 4.

The latest and greatest 911 platform debuted in 1998 as a 1999 model year car. The new 911 plays off the highly recognized 911 shape, but underneath is all-new technology such as a watercooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower, Tiptronic S or manual transmission, all-wheel drive, and the Porsche Stability Management system.

An all-new 911 Turbo, based on this new platform, will arrive in early 2000.

Holiday Party 1999

by Lanean Hughes

The Christmas lights were shining brightly at the home of Dan & Linda Ruehs for the annual Maverick Region Holiday Party. Approximately 80+ attended, feasting on the wonderful Joe McGlohen "meats of choice:' from brisket to ribs. Members also brought their favorite dish to share, and believe me no one should have gone home hungry!

Dan's "Toy House" was a very popular place, and seemed to be filled most of the evening. In fact we aren't sure if Dan ever got to eat, he was so busy being the host, valet, and tour guide.

Dan's "Toy House" a.k.a. his incredible garage filled with party-goers.

Linda was totally prepared. As Dan stated, she had the furniture replaced. We women believe that is a pre-requisite for entertaining!

Members were asked to bring a stuffed animal or some toy for Brian and me to take to the Hope Shelter. The donations were incredible! We had approximately 80 stuffed animals, dolls, and toys.

Brian and I enjoyed riding home with a very large stuffed Teddy Bear seat-belted between us, that kept saying "give me a hug:' and of course I complied! Thanks, Mavericks for your giving hearts.

As the evening was winding down, the group wandered into the living room and 10 and behold it was not Santa coming down the . chimney, it was SPEEDVISION on TV!

I think by 12:30 a.m. Dan and Linda waved goodbye to the last of the Holiday Party crowd, and we all shouted "Thanks, Dan & Linda for a wonderful, memorable Holiday Party ..... Ho Ho Ho!!"

John and SUZ£lnne Cochran enjoying the fabulous cooking along with Sandy Hodges and Tinker Edwards.

As if we didn't already know who the naughty one of the two was!

Autocross #1 Changes and Details by Fran Ussery

My dad always says to me, if it isn't broken, why fix it? Well, it really isn't broken but...maybe we are improving and enhancing the autocross experience with some new ideas and a somewhat new format.

Our region autocrosses have gradually evolved from the strict autocross format. An autocross is by definition a timed competitive event through a course constructed of pylons with a start and a finish usually in the same place. Typical autocrosses consist of 2-4 timed laps. The entrants must learn the course quickly and produce a competitive run with little or no practice. Over the years, Maverick AX's have offered 8 - 10 timed runs. Definitions aside, Mavericks enjoy and appreciate "seat time" as well as track talk. Our challenge then is to return to a format more like a true AX while allowing ample seat time and encouraging increased participation. At AX #1 we hope to do just that.

The March 5th AX in Mineral Wells will first be set up on one course with limited timing for practice and instruction in the morning. With a partner/instructor, drivers can practice tactics and techniques, with insights from the observations of a partner. Then everyone switches roles to be the rider/observer. Believe me, you can learn a lot from driver and passenger seats.ln the afternoon, we reverse the course, making it new to

everyone. Again there will be time to course-walk. The afternoon runs (5-6) will be timed and recorded for the day and the series. Again, if you would like a "coach" in the passenger seat - just ask.

The schedule is as follows:

Registration opens, course open to walk 8:00AM

Drivers' Meeting

Course closes to walkers

First car out

Lunch/reverse course/course walk

Drivers' Meeting (brief)

PM, timed runs

8:45

9:20

9:30

(lhr duration)

This new format for autocross #1 should offer plenty of seat time (driving and observing) and contribute to the goal of becoming better autocrossers (learn quickly and perform well) which is why Mavericks drivers are respected at Parade and other region events. Remember that our auto crosses are open to other car marques (they must pass the same technical inspection, helmet, closed-toe tie shoes), so bring an friend.

Come and play!

Drivers Ed Education #4 - Taking Care of Business

by lohn Hajny - Central NY Region Editor / Zone 1 Instructor

Remember when you first got started in Driver's Ed.? There sure was a lot to learn, eh?

Come to think of it, while in some respects it gets easier the more you know, it also gets that much harder to improve as the gains get more infinitesimal. Geez, this isn't really very easy at all!

Everyone reaches various defining moments in their "driving career." One such moment may materialize as the sudden realization that you don't seem to have enough time to get everything done before a corner. This particular moment may be accompanied and also defined by the sound of a nervous person in the right seat strenuously insisting that you "BRAKE!"

Such occurrences usually follow the period of intense trial and error in learning "the Line." You begin to realize that your past instructors have been ever so right; To go FAST, you must first learn "the Line" while going relatively SLOW, and then eventually the speed more or less takes care of itself. Unfortunately, this being an entirely fluid exercise, meaning things are constantly changing, you can rest assured they will be again ... very soon.

At the point where you have learned "the Line" and can drive it with some consistency, you may notice that this has allowed you to go a lot faster. This has the coincident effect of bringing you to the corners much sooner. Suddenly, it seems the real race is in getting positioning, braking, and downshifting completed early enough before you have to turn. Here's a trick to help you sort through these frustrating and potentially ruinous moments.

As you begin going faster, you will need to re-evaluate your braking and turning points constantly. The first step might be to not "Brake Backwards:' Distilled, this means braking hard early and then easing up as you reach the turn-in point. Now, that turn-in point will change depending on the circumstance, but there's lots to do before we get there. Let's playa little game that I play with my students when they become "corner chargers" and look at that turn-in cone in a different light.

O.K. Let's temporarily rename that turn-in cone as the "Business Cone." Passing, Braking, Shifting, Positioning ... There's lots of "Business" to take care of before a turn. It stands to reason that one cannot turn in effectively if one is still busy trying to get positioned, shifted, and slowed. This is a common overload situation; both for the driver and the car. It is more than likely that the student is charging into many of the turns with suspect control, and if they can indeed complete the corners in question without going off, this will then result in the inability to accelerate as soon as someone who has entered the turn more prudently. Since turns are followed by either straightaways or more turns, you have obviously fouled up the ensuing sequence, for which you will pay dearly in terms of flow and overall lap efficiency. What to do?

The goal of this lesson will be to learn by trial and error a combination of positioning, shifting, and braking points that allows you to consistently complete All of your Business before that "Business Cone:' Don't get frustrated if you're having difficulty in doing this. No one does it right the first time. If it rains or you make changes to your

car or whatever, you will be re-doing all of this again and again. The process of discovery is what is important here. It boils down to patience, concentration, and perseverance. Keep at it and it will come eventually, and you will then have a system that you can use for any combination of circumstances.

By completing your business before you turn in you are helping your likely overloaded brain to do as few things as possible simultaneously. You will also allow your car's suspension to unwind and return to full readiness before it has to cope with cornering loads. Balance in both the driver and the car is the goal here, and it is critical. With more seat time, you will eventually be able to condense this process down to a shorter track distance, but don't rush it. Remember, Slow In, Fast Out. It's not only safer, you'll really learn, and go, faster!

So, you've learned "the Line" and can repeat it with some degree of consistency. You are now attempting to systematically reverse the negative side effects of the extra speed this has given you by completing All of Your Business before you reach the "Business Cone." Remember how I said this driving thing was a fluid exercise? Well, now that you can do "the Line" and "Take Care of Business" consistently, we're gonna re-name that turn-in cone again!

Henceforth, it will be known as ... the ''ACCELERATION CONE:'

New Classifications for Y2K Driving [vents by Dan Ruehs

The competition committee for Maverick Region has elected to add two new "Street Tire" categories for all driving events this year. There will be no changes in the rules structure for the existing 17 classes except for classifying the new Boxster S. The new classes are being added to encourage Mavericks to participate in the driving events in their pure stock or modified street cars. The new classes are as follows:

Street: This classification is for cars that are exactly as shipped from the factory with no performance enhancing modifications whatsoever. These are cars that are licensed and inspected, street ready, and with street tires. Street tires are defined as any treaded tire with a UTQG tread wear rating of 100 or greater. Classification of cars is in accordance with the existing production classes 1 through 9. The existing production car classes will now be PI through P9 and the street class designation will be S 1 through S9. Any car with performance enhancing modifications will require the car to be placed in either the existing Production Classes or the new Super Street class.

Super Street: This classification is for modified street driven cars. Again, these cars must have current license and inspection and be equipped with street tires. Instead of classification by car model like the existing production classes, these cars will be classified only by engine displacement. There will be six displacement categories, with the car class designations SSA through SSE Cars

with supercharger or turbocharger will use a 1.3 multiplier to get to classified displacement. Modifications in this class are to be pretty much open, however, street tires are required.

The rules for these new classes will be posted on the Maverick Region website. The primary reason for adding the new classes is that our existing Production Class rules allow a substantial number of modifications which make it impractical for our members to just come out in a street car and be competitive. Adding the new 15 classes should make it a lot more fun for those of you with street cars to come out and play on the weekends.

Don't forget to utilize the internet to its fullest.

My First Porsche

by Jerry DeFeo

It was the fall of 1966 in Miami, Florida. I was 20 years old trying to go to junior college, keep out of trouble with my Mom, and trying to raise $91.20 a month to pay for my 65 GTO with three-two's and a four-speed. I had noticed a few Porsches here and there, but in 1966, no street Porsche could stay with the GTO. Of course that meant in a quarter mile in my then circle of friends. One of the neatest Porsches I saw was a 63 S-90 Convertible that Skip Ryder (yes, daddy owned Ryder Trucks) had rolled while he was still in High School. Well I had a job that summer at the body shop where he had it repaired. Not only did I get to work on it, I got to take it out for the test drive. Boy did I catch hell when I got back 30 minutes later. They did not buy I needed to make sure it handled OK at high speeds. After all it had been roned! But it handled like a Go-Cart with a four-speed, and I was hooked. They also had a 63 XKE convertible I had to final test drive about two weeks later.

Anyway a friend told me about a red Porsche he had seen one morning on the used car lot at a North Miami Ford Dealer. I went up there and a salesman showed it to me saying that they just took it in on trade, and apologized for not having it cleaned up yet. It was faded bright red and had so-so black interior. It also had some rust (this was Miami by the sea, you know, salt water in the air) and in fact every time you opened the driver's door, the bottom 3" of the door would catch on the body and slide outside the fender towards the front wheel. But I had worked for a body shop, and that was when you could get a reasonable paint job for $50, and besides I had all the time in the world.

The salesman asked if I was 21, (you had to be 21 to buy a car in Florida back then) to which I promptly lied and said "yes"! He was really a nice guy and was so anxious to sell a car that day, he offered it to me for $650 and even said he would give me a 30 day 50/50 warranty if anything went wrong. Well the clutch was already slipping just a shade so I took the deal. I gave $5 (yes - FIVE dollars) to hold the car until I could go get the money and get back. I had some of it and had to borrow $300 from a friend's dad (but that is another story). I bought the car for $650 with a 30 day 50/50 warranty. I took it the next day to a known Porsche mechanic down near where I lived in South Miami. He and I had met before when I raced against a 66427 Cobra that he had prepared, and beat it with my 65 GTO (and that is absolutely another story).

Anyway, he said that the car needed a new pressure plate, clutch disc, throw-out bearing, all the brake cylinders rebuilt (I did not know that any cars had two brake cylinders per wheel), tune-up, shift linkage bushings, wheel bearings repacked, and a oill oil filter change. The total, some $355. (That kind of looks pretty good today, huh? What do you think Ed Mayo?) Well the Used Car Sales Manager was not a happy camper. They gave the guy $600 as a trade-in, sold me the car for $650, and then wrote a check to the garage I selected (since they had no idea how to work on it) for some $178 so as to honor the 50/50 warranty. I

think they lost! But at 20 years old I had a great running 61 356 B Normal with a great clutch and brakes; but about 1I4th of the drivers door sliding along the body every time I got in the car.

I then took the car to my favorite body shop where they let me use their tools to remove all the chrome, bumpers, and interior. I even got a glass shop to R & R the front and rear glass for $15 so as to get a better paint job. I painted it a super bright Porsche red or so I thought. That thing was so ORANGE it would make the UT alumni proud. To fix the door, other rust, and paint (I did the prep work), it cost about $45. That and some other miscellaneous goodies, the $15 for glass R & R, plus the $178 I paid towards the mechanical, plus the $650, brought the total investment up to about $900. Let's see now, a 5 year old Porsche (in decent shape) for $900. Those were the days!

PART TWO

I was still drag racing my 65 GTO on the weekends turning in the high 13's on street tires through the mufflers. And I could always win my 'B' Pure Stock class each Sunday. Well I should have learned early on that when you do well, somebody always wants to bring you down or insinuate you were cheating. But no one would just come out and accuse me, nor put up the $65 protest/tear-down fee, therefore there was a strip protest (means I tear down for free to prove I was not cheating). I said I would tear down for the $65 that everyone else got, but not for free. They banned the GTO from West Palm Beach Raceway! But not before I won the 65 and 66 Florida State Pure Stock Championships with a best time of 13.72 seconds at 105.6 mph And that was on street tires and through the stock mufflers.

OK, I cannot run the GTO anymore, so what class does a 61 356 B Normal Porsche run in? Well first they said it was a sports car (two seater), but I had seats for four, so they had to assign me to the class of '0' Pure Stock, the lowest class. Remember I only had 60 DIN or about 70 SAE horsepower with about a 1950 lb car, which calculates out to about 28 pounds per horsepower. My racing prep was simple. Show up at the track with about fi tank of gas, and the tires pumped up to 50 lbs. My racing strategy was even more simple. Be friendly to everyone, say nice things about their cars, come off the line at 5000 RPM, and never Red Light. The fact that I got 4 fi second head start on the GTO's, 442's, Gran Sports, etc. was devastating to many of the competitors. Many would Red Light just sitting there watching me go down the strip. This is a good time to add that it was not my driving ability or any super mechanical tuning skills that won every week with the little orange Porsche. The fact that the little car could run at least fi second closer to the '0' Stock national record than a GTO could to the 'B' Stock record made this car a winner so long as I did not mess up. It was the car! It was this neat little car, that ran fantastic time after time, that was never designed to be a drag racer, that only needed the extensive race prep of airing up the tires to 50 lbs. Those were the days!!!
