2019 Alle Mitglieder: Maverick All Member Party by Debi Kruder, Region Social Chair You’re invited to our Maverick “Alle Mitglieder,” or as us American folks say, All Member Party! Yes, it’s the All Member Party of years past, but with a new twist! Thanks to our sponsor Autobahn, this year’s event promises not to disappoint. Save the date for Sunday, February 17, and be the first to register online after the New Year. This year offers two events for our 2,885 members for an All Member Morning! Yes, that’s right, two events. Our first event, a Mav PCA Driving Tour, begins at 10 am at Grayson College, 1455 W Van Alstyne Pkwy, Van Alstyne, TX on your favorite farm road, FM 455. And the destination you ask? One Preston Event Center is the destination and venue for our second event of the morning: the All Member Party! What awaits you there is sure to please! The Carriage House at 50 Whispering Winds Road in Gunter, Texas will leave you speechless. It’s a gorgeous space with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and barn doors overlooking acres of lush landscaping, and of course our Porsches. Registration for the All Member Brunch includes a deliciously prepared country breakfast by Low Country Cuisine, as well as a Bubbly and Bloody Mary Bar, and of course great friends. What can you expect besides the warm food and spirits? Meet your Maverick PCA board and chairs, learn more about the 2019 upcoming events, and as with every event, meet cool cars and their drivers! New members are our special guests and will receive a personal invitation from our Membership Chair, Jim Hirsch. We want our nearly 400 new members since last year’s party to experience all our region has to offer, meeting new friends, introducing them to our many Maverick activities, and enjoying some special memorabilia too! So whether you’ve been with our club for 56 years or less than one, there is sure to be something for everyone at this year’s Maverick “Alle Mitglieder!” Registration details to come on January 1 on mav.pca. org and social media.

A Note from the Drivers’ Education Chair by TJ Kroehle, Region Drivers’ Education Chair We would like to announce our DE event dates for 2019: • February 23-24: Motorsport Ranch (MSR) on the 3.1-mi road course. • April 27-28: Motorsport Ranch (MSR) on the 3.1-mi road course. • June 1 - Car Control Clinic at MSR • June 2 - DE Solo - warm up to COTA • June 8-9: Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX (Schnell Fest). • September 14-15: the new EAGLES CANYON RACEWAY 2.6-mi road course. • September 21-22: Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX (Schnell Fest). • October 19-20: Eagles Canyon Raceway 2.6-mi road course. • November 9-10: a SOLO DE event in conjunction with the PCA Club Race. Please mark these dates on your calendar. Porsche’s marketing campaigns for 2019 are “Direction Future” and “Performance, electrified.” Porsche has been long known as a leader in technology and innovation. This also constitutes constant evolution. Our region’s DE program in 2018 also started to evolve. We implemented new concepts to our DE experience, all while maintaining our tradition of Safety First. We started with enhanced passing for advanced run groups. We also started a Fast, Faster, and Fastest grid lineup for our advanced run groups. We opened up MSR’s 1.3 road course for additional run time, available to most run groups throughout the weekend. These features will remain in place for 2019. We introduced a new novice run group, the Car Control Clinic (CCC). This was requested by our local Porsche dealerships to provide a gentler introduction to the Porsche experience. This can provide their clients an opportunity to learn the capabilities of their Porsche in a controlled environment. Graduates of the CCC will, at a minimum, be in a better position to handle their vehicle in an emergency. We received excellent feedback from the participants. We believe the CCC can be a gateway to our DE and Autocross programs. Fifty percent of the first CCC graduates said they would attend a future DE or Autocross program. We are looking for dates for this program in 2019 We are also looking for more single day SOLO DE events for 2019. We are searching for a date in March or May for a single day SOLO DE. We may pick a weekday, scheduling it for a late afternoon run and socializer to follow, similar to what we did in July 2018. As we grow and change, we have some changes we need to share. Chris Sorrells has joined our team as the DE Marketing Chair. Chris and his wife Gabe joined the Porsche Club six years ago after buying their first Porsche. Together they came out and watched a DE event. They decided that it looked like a lot of fun. Chris attended the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School in Las Vegas to learn how to drive on the track safely. Initially, Gabe was driving the Porsche and Chris was driving a Corvette at the DEs. After a couple of events driving the Corvette, Chris decided to part ways with it, allowing him to also buy a Porsche. Chris has attended most of our DEs over the past six years. Gabe and Chris have been married for 40 years. Chris has just retired from the construction and development business. They have two dogs and three Porsches. Gabe and Chris can also be seen at most of the PCA social events. Chris spends his spare time either at the track or hunting with friends. Please welcome Chris as the Marketing Chair! We are chartered with continuing the evolution of our DE Program. Our mantra is “Safety First.” We appreciate everyone’s participation in the program and, we hope to earn your future support. Sincerely, TJ Kroehle Maverick Region PCA DE Chair 7
