SPROCKETS: A Look Back
by David Robertson, Region President
Here we are at the end of the year once again. The year
2019 seemed to fly by, and the fact that it is December
already has
taken me by
surprise.
My term
as Maverick
Region
President will
come to an end
on December
31. Soon after
I joined the
Maverick region
in 2012, I was
immediately
impressed with
the time and effort that everyone put into making this
club a success and wanted to get involved. My wife Tracy
and I started volunteering at several events and found that
it was a lot of fun! We quickly met a lot of our members
and through events like Schnell Fest, Palooza, and
Boxtoberfest, we started meeting PCA members from all
over the country. We started attending and volunteering
at Autocrosses, Tours, and Socials, and really realized
what a great group of people we have in the club. Tracy
soon became the Social Chair and I started attending
board meetings with her to see how the mechanics of
the organization worked. I became Vice President of the
board in 2016 and later that year, due to an illness, I
stepped in for the President. Fast-forward to December
2019 and it has been an amazing three and a half years as
the President of the Maverick Region.
The Maverick Region has had an
incredible year, and there is a great
deal of momentum heading into
2020. Just a few years ago it would
have been hard to imagine that we
would have over 3000 members!
Our membership continues to
grow, and the activities planned
reflect the excitement and growth
of the club.
MAV OF THE MONTH:
Bill Middleton
Throughout my time on the board we have seen
tremendous growth, revitalization of existing programs,
and popular new events that experience phenomenal
attendance. All the credit goes to our event chairs and
other volunteers that put many hours into making existing
programs better and coming up with new activities to
keep our members engaged and excited to participate.
I mention all of this to say that even though I’m leaving
the board, I still look forward to volunteering within the
club in the future. The Maverick Region only exists due
to the time and enthusiasm of our volunteers, and I am
confident in saying that we have some of the best!
If you have been to a Maverick event, then it is probable that Bill has taken your
picture. He attends most of our events with camera in hand and posts great photos
shortly afterwards.
In addition to volunteering for the Maverick Region, Bill has been very closely
associated with the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House for many years and was
instrumental in their remodel during the mid-2000s. The Huffaker-Hughes Hope
House is one of the Maverick Region’s primary charities and Bill continues to work
closely with that organization today. Thank you, Bill, for your volunteer efforts
within the Maverick Region and very important work with the Huffaker-Hughes
Hope House!

Reflections on PCA Palooza
by Tom Stout
photos by Debi Kruder, Paul Moseley and Jimmy Gallegos
While cruising westbound on I-40 back home to the
great State of Texas, my wife Hayley and I had time to
reflect on our rookie weekend at PCA Palooza. It all
started a couple days before, charging through the rain
in the middle of a pack of 18 Maverick cars led by our
fearless and intrepid leader Frank Briggs. We arrived in
Eureka Springs just in time to see the clouds part and a
spectacular sunset in the west over the Ozarks.
The next day brought great weather and a “spirited”
drive through the hills. Afterwards we enjoyed meeting
Porsche folks and their wheels from around the country,
along with all the swag tables at Palooza HQ. We felt
right at home and welcome from the start.
A night on the town enjoying live local music
with fellow Mavericks followed, probably not to be
forgotten by the participants. Great fun. The next
day found us enjoying a relaxing walkabout around
downtown Eureka Springs, followed by a meandering
Porsche parade tossing candy to the smiling local kids.
Wind that day up with a huge car show, and the evening
closing banquet, and that’s a full but amazing day.
Everyone involved, from the organizers to the
participants to all the local residents, could not have
been nicer. Surrounded by Porsche cars, people, and
swag was super. For me, the highlight was introducing
my silver 2007 997S to its “grandfather,” a gorgeous
silver 1977 911S, and then to its “great grandfather,”
a pristine 1965 silver 356. For me it made the legacy of
these magnificent machines personal.
We will definitely be returning next year, but maybe
then with Hayley’s Boxster . . . after all, we may have
some different “relatives” to discover!
Below clockwise: Welcome to Palooza, you’re in good company. I’m told the
guy in that in the ‘68 (the middle one) can drive. Paul Moseley shoots when
he drives? Beautiful scenery though. The Hoffman on the square.
Right: Sights from Eureka Springs Arkansas as seen by some of our
members. It seems Mark Palmer has meet a new friend, either that or he is
asking for directions from a local. Mavericks showed some rare cars too.

PCA Palooza: 2019
by Jennifer Parma
After seeing some of the Mavericks post pictures of last
years’ trip to PCA Palooza, I knew I had to go this year!
I was invited to caravan with a group of 18 other P-cars
on the Thursday before the Palooza weekend. What a
great way to start out Palooza, driving to Eureka Springs,
looking at all of that gorgeous eye candy along the way!
Once I arrived, I picked up my registration packet and
bought some really some cool Palooza swag, including
a Porsche Motorsport jacket I have been wanting! I
immediately started seeing other familiar faces from the
Maverick region. Over the long weekend, there were
lunches, dinners, happy hours, and live music late into the
nights with my fellow Mavs which made the entire time
even more fun!
On Friday morning, I drove the “Dam Farmer’s
Daughter” tour, a 74-mile drive on those beautiful
twisties adorned with fall color. I am not as experienced
as some of the drivers on those twisty roads, so I felt
a bit intimidated, but with each turn, my driving and
photos by Scott Kellogg, Scott Kerfoot and Landon Stogner
speed improved. Definitely good practice for our future
local drives here!
Saturday was filled with another drive, the Parade
of Porsche Power, the Shine & Show, and the Banquet.
The parade was not only a visual experience, but, oh .
. . the sounds!! Whoa! I heard one man say along the
parade route, “Look at her driving by herself . . . good
for her!” It was then that I became overwhelmed with
a sense of gratitude at how fortunate I am to be able to
drive a beautiful Porsche, attend events like these and
be a part of such a wonderful club.
I have made so many great friends since attending
my very first Maverick event just a little over a year ago
and I am thankful to have had this experience with a lot
of them at PCA Palooza! Eureka Springs this time of
year is stunning with the fall color at its peak. Throw a
few hundred plus beautiful Porsches in that little town,
and I was in heaven! I am looking forward to next
year’s PCA Palooza!

Park Place Luxury and Supercar Showcase
by Olga Taylor
photos provided by Michael Durovick, Mike Mahoney, Peter Wen
Park Place promised “the fastest cars” at the Luxury
& Supercar Showcase, and the vehicles were spectacular.
Food and drink were abundant—now enough about that
event stuff.
Okay, so here’s what it was like for us Mavericks.
Pre-dawn, Mavericks gathered in the parking lot to
organize. Intense; it involved “fancy parking” and “refancy
parking” because Scott Kellogg was serious about
the procession—no car was to be out of order! A smiling
Mike Mahoney did the QC check and we relaxed.
Then, coolest of the cool, our parade of 30 Porsches
drove to the Car Club Showcase area. Not only did
we represent Porsche, the Maverick Region was
“representative” of a car club--we dominated in number
and cachet. Every Porsche was represented. Beyond the
Car Club Showcase, 13 Porsches were featured on the
main show field.
Once set up, it was such a blast to ogle over all the
cars. Most of us enjoyed chatting each other up all day—
the suite, Porsche Pavilion, or out and about. A great day
and lots of fun.
Porsche, Porsche, Porsche.
by Jennifer Parma
This was my first year to attend the Park Place Luxury
& Supercar Showcase, and what an experience it was! The
cars were beautifully displayed on the fairway and I felt
like I had died and gone to heaven! All of those stunning
specimens of new, classic, or somewhere in between - all in
one place. Wow!
The Car Club Expo was such a treat, seeing beauties from
area clubs represented by Lamborghini, Jaguar, and Ferrari,
just to name a few.... and Porsche represented the PCA
beautifully in true Maverick fashion. Way to go, Mavs! Of
course, I loved each and every one of the Porsches on display,
but also being a Jaguar owner, I was excited to see a vintage
‘54 Jaguar XK120 as well as the XJR-15 and XJ 220. I am
also very fond of classic Corvettes, especially the Stingray
coupe, and there were a handful of beautiful ones on display!
There were more than just cars on display. The tents
provided fabulously prepared samplings of food, drinks,
various vendors and even a fashion show. But, it was HOT!
And, in the heat of the day after viewing cars, I enjoyed
cooling off and visiting with my Porsche friends in the private
suite. We all love the Porsches in the group, but in the end it
truly is about the wonderful people who drive them.

The Tub Club Goes on Holiday
by Barbara Madsen
photos provided by Author
The 2019 High Desert Holiday, sponsored by the
Arizona Outlaws 356 Club, was a spectacular success!
This year, the holiday was held in Flagstaff, AZ,
October 2 through October 6. A plethora of events was
available for all who attended the holiday.
Flagstaff, known as the city of seven wonders, was
a perfect location for Porsche enthusiasts to explore
numerous natural wonders and to learn more about
the history of our country. The Grand Canyon, San
Francisco Peaks, Sunset Crater, Wupatki, Walnut
Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Coconino National
Forest, and the Petrified Forest National Park all were
explanation of Hopi traditions and history further
enriched our experience.
Four different guided tours were offered during two
days of the event:
• Grand Canyon South Rim and
the Grand Canyon Village
• Jerome, Cottonwood, and Sedona
• Meteor Crater and Winslow
La Posada Historic Hotel
• Lake Mary, Camp Verde/Verde Valley,
and Sedona
within 120 miles of Flagstaff. The breathtaking beauty
and history of these locations were awe-inspiring. The
Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff was also an important
stop for those interested in learning more about
telescopes and our amazing universe.
Porsche 356 enthusiasts also had an opportunity to
go to three different tech sessions: one covered engine
building, another gave details on a 356 restoration,
and a third demonstrated interior upholstery
methods. A Hopi dance presentation along with an
The People’s Choice Concours Car Show culminated
in prizes presented during the Awards Banquet, which
also included the keynote speaker, Renee Brinkerhoff of
Valkyrie Racing. A Swap Meet concluded the holiday.
Thank you Arizona Outlaws 356 Club for doing such
a great job in putting all of this together. A special
thanks goes to David Gill, Steve Proctor, and Scott Evans,
the event organizers, for their many hours of hard work.
Eleven cars from the Fort Worth/Dallas-based Tub Club
attended this event, and we all had a great time!

Mavs & Mochas: Tactical Fleet
by Raj Gill
The October Mavs
& Mochas fell on the
same day as the OU
vs. Longhorns football
game. Although it’s
traditionally a heated
rivalry, the morning
started off quite cold. As
the sun rose, it became
the perfect weather for a
Porsche gathering!
The venue was located
at a new place which
Mavs & Mochas had
never previously been.
Tactical Fleet is a new
car dealership located in
Addison. With plenty of
space and lots of Porsche
inventory, it made for a
fantastic location for us
Mavs. The owners, Chris
Barta and Jason Putnam,
went above and beyond
in catering breakfast and
coffee for everyone. Mi
Cocina was their caterer,
who was great!
We celebrated 30 years
of Porsche GT cars. Out
of a total of 125+
Porsches, over 35 GT
cars attended. A great
turn out. Other than car
sales, Tactical Fleet also

Autocross Series: Event 9 at Lone Star Park
by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair
photos by Robert Kirby of Lightspeed Images
Event 9 had 21 Porsche drivers out of 79 entries.
That’s 27% of the field! Igor Tulandin continued his
winning streak in Class P0 with his Cayenne GTS. He
was running times that put him ahead of the Boxsters and
Caymans, except for the GT4 driven by Wendy Shoffit.
Very impressive driving in an SUV on an autocross
course. At the final event of the season, the Guns and
Hoses challenge, the Police and Firemen will be trying
to best him with their SUVs. That event was Sunday,
November 3 at Lone Star Park, Grand Prairie, TX.
Clay Perrine brought his just-completed 914/6 GT
4.0 to compete in class P6. You read that right: 4.0-liter
964-based six cylinder engine. Great sounds and looks
awesome! He is having to re-learn how to drive it but
will be a threat when he does. Class P1 had six entries
for another air-cooled 911 and 914 battle, with three
of each. Mark’s 914 pulled the win, followed by Carey
Spreen in his 911SC, Ed Mayo in his 911S, and Sigrid in
her 914. William Mayo won class P3 in his blue Boxster.

Rosenberg in his newly-acquired 996 Cabriolet. Class
P5 was a big fight right down to the last runs between
Owen Coulman in his 996 GT3 and Wendy Shoffit in
her GT4 Cayman. Owen put in a real flyer to win the
class and be quickest Porsche, ahead of the winning 914
and the GT4. Anna Zimmerman and Florian Steinberg
were visiting from Germany and drove the Schnoerr 993.
Anna has a bit more seat time in that car and pulled out
the win over her boyfriend.
Performance Index-adjusted top Porsche times were
Mark’s 914, Owen’s GT3, and Wendy’s GT4 respectively.
In Ladies overall Performance Index, Wendy was second
and Sigrid was third in her 914.

Maverick Marktpreis: 911 Holiday Shopping List
by Peter Wen
It’s time. You have dreamed about this day for what
seemed like decades. You worked hard. You raised a
family. Now it’s time for your reward. For this holiday
edition of Marktpreis, we feature three great generations
of 911 to put on your shopping list. For your hard earned
money, you can’t go wrong with these beauties.
Old School: 911 Carrera (’84-’89, Coupe, $25k-$60k)
Classic 911 looks with a powerful 3.2L engine and
a smooth G50 transmission, the second generation
911 offers great value compared to the OG, long-hood
911. These Carreras are the best of the impact-bumper
generation. #SaveTheWhaletails
The Last Airbender: 993 (’95-’97, Coupe, $45k-$55k)
The 993 is the poster child of the Porsche bubble. It
led the air-cooled valuation hysteria that peaked in 2016.
Average price has since fallen by about 20%. With its
classic Porsche good looks and modern performance, it is
one of the most desirable 911 generation. #LastAircooled
Modern Classic: 997.2 S (’09-’11, Coupe, $45k-$60k)
The 997.2 generation is the Goldilocks of modern Porsches.
It’s not too big and not too small. It’s not too sterile with
nanny aids and it’s not so antiquated that you have to worry
about an impromptu drag race at a stop light. Daily driver,
track toy, or a cross-country road trip? Check, check, and
check. The 997.2 911 just feels right! #BestGeneration

Coffee, Cars & Conversation
by Bill Kruder
photos provided by author
Well, as is the case, this one was a
pretty random meeting. As many of
you know, our member Bill Bradley
coordinates a Friday morning coffee
meet in Flower Mound aka FloMo.
Well I don’t get over there very often,
but several months ago I drove over
to join the group of eight to twelve
attending. As I sat down I noticed
this young man wearing this spiffy
newsboy hat, so I reached across the
table and introduced myself. Within
minutes we were talking about the
club and he’s offering up ideas for
the club, such as do we ever have a
blood drive or do we ever celebrate
our veterans. It didn’t take long to
realize we had someone that was all
about people. And for the
record, we are scheduling a
blood drive for this spring,
and we will have celebrated
our Maverick Vets by the
time you read this.
So here is the next in my
series of “conversations”
I would like to share with
you:
Carl Adee, member since 2019,
Owner 2006 Boxster S
Bill Kruder: So are you
originally from here?
Carl Adee: No, I grew up in a small
town: La Porte, Indiana. It’s about 40
minutes west of South Bend. I didn’t
move away until after high school;
most of my family is still there.
Carl Adee with Noah
BK: So how did you end up in DFW?
CA: My boss in Vegas had moved
here and was assigned to Lockheed-
Martin and was retiring, so he told
me I should apply for the position,
which was part of the F-35 program.
So I did, and as luck would have it,
I got the job; that was six years ago.
BK: What was the job?
CA: I guess you would say I was the
government liaison that reviewed
the maintenance procedures. I
retired from that job in September
of this year but am now employed
by Lockheed-Martin on the same
F-35 program.
BK: So I understand you are an Air
Force veteran. Is that what took you
from La Porte?
CA: Matter of fact it did. It seemed
everyone I knew was joining the
Navy after high school.
BK: But you joined the Air Force?
CA: I did. We had a Navy recruiting
office in town, so that’s why I guess
so many guys signed up. A friend of
mine who was a year older joined the
Air Force. On one of his trips home,
he said “Come on let’s go see the Air
Force recruiter. You don’t want to
be stuck on some sub or ship.” So,
we went to see them. I was a junior
in high school, and I signed up on
a deferred program where once I
graduated, I would be enlisted. As
things turned out I graduated, and
weeks later I was off to San Antonio
for basic training, then on to Wichita
Falls to finish up.
BK: And what were you training for?
CA: Well my grandpa, who pretty
much had raised me from fifth grade
on, always told me that if you can
do something with your hands, you
will always have a job. With that in
mind I became an aircraft mechanic
working on F-15, F-16, F-22, and
F-35 fighter engines.
BK: So did you end up getting moved
around a lot?
CA: Yes and no; my first assignment
was Luke Air Force base in Glendale
Arizona, about 15-20 minutes west
of Phoenix. I spent some time in Las
Vegas and then Delaware, where
I did work on the big C5 transport
engines. I also spent about a year in
Korea. I had some deployments as
well, including in 2002, where I was
part of Gulf War II (Iraqi Freedom).
As it turned out I was there
for about 190 days.
BK: I understand you just
retired; aren’t you are
awfully young to be retired?
CA: Well in the armed
forces you can retire after
20 years of active duty.
For me it was 20 years
and 3 months (smiling).
And for the record I’m 38
(laughing).
BK: And you are married?
CA: Yes. I have been
married to Sonia for 14 years
and we have two kids: Noah is 7 and
Olivia is 1.
BK: So how did you and Sonia meet?
CA: Well it was pretty random. I was
on leave and kind of vacationing in
Las Vegas and as it turned out so was
she. It was Labor Day weekend and
we were at the Ghostbar at the Palms
Hotel. We ran into each other and we
just started talking about our love for
the Chicago Cubs and hung out the
rest of the weekend. As it turned out she
was from Naperville, a suburb of Chicago,
and I was from about 90 minutes
away in La Porte.
20 November
BK: Well that’s a small world. How
did you both manage things with you
being in Glendale?
CA: Well I guess she kind of liked me
(laughing) so she would come visit
me or I would go there. Then we
spent that Christmas Eve with her
family and Christmas Day we spent
with mine; this was 2003.
BK: I understand there was a strange
turn of events before you got married?
CA: Well kind of. We went to Chicago
for Valentine’s Day and I proposed to
her. I no sooner got back to Glendale
and I had orders sending me to
Korea. Needless to say we weren’t
expecting that but it all worked out
and we were married in July of 2005
in Chicago.
BK: Ok let’s talk cars. What was your
first car?
CA: It was a 1981 Jaguar XJ6. I found
it at this place called Lemon Lot,
where guys would just buy and sell
cars from this random lot.
BK: So how did you end up in the
Porsche world?
CA: Easy. When I was about 7 years
old my uncle, who’s 11 years older,
always let me hang around with him.
Well one day he came over and gave
me this cool picture of a 944 and I
loved it. Matter of fact I still have
the picture and just recently gave it
to Noah.
BK: So first Porsche?
CA: I’m driving it. We bought our
2006 Boxster about nine months ago.
BK: And why this one?
CA: Well I was planning on retiring
and wanted to get myself a retirement
gift. I started reading Excellence
magazine and really studied it,
deciding that the Boxster was it. We
looked at one, a 2008 Boxster RS 60
in orange; we took it for a test drive
and Sonia knew this wasn’t the car.
We then went to Porsche Grapevine
and I told them what I was looking
for. Well about 12 days later they
called me and said “we have one you
need to see.” So we drove over and it
was this Silver on Terracotta. Sonia
said “this is the one,” and the rest is
history (laughing).
Well as usual I always walk away
surprised at what chances life brings
us in meeting people when we just
stop or are stopped to say hello. It
doesn’t matter if you are an attendee
or a chairperson - it’s the people; we
call that Driving Friendships.
We’ll give
you an
assist on
your future
goals.
Contact me to learn how you can get
the most out of retirement.

Maverick Drivers’ Education Series: October and November Recap
by Renee Hayden, Region DE Chair
provided by Hart Photography
On October 19 and 20, the Maverick Region’s DE
program was at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur for
our second event on the new 1.65-mile short course.
Everyone had fun and we are acclimating well to the
new facility. Like all our DE events, we drove parade
laps at lunch time benefiting the Patriot PAWS charity.
The highlight of the event came on Sunday, when Eagles
Canyon offered to let us drive the parade laps not only
in the clockwise or opposite direction but gave us access
to drive the entire 2.7-mile course. I believe we were
the first organization to get this opportunity. When we
announced the change to the full 2.7-mile course, many
of our Drivers and Coaches headed for their cars! Their
generous donations to Patriot PAWS totaled $440.
Thank you for your donations, and thank you
to Eagles Canyon for helping make it happen!
As stated on the Patriot PAWS website: “The
mission of Patriot PAWS is to train and provide
service dogs of the highest quality at no cost
to disabled American veterans and others with
mobile disabilities and Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) in order to help restore their
physical and emotional independence.”
Our sponsor for the October event weekend
was Autobahn Porsche in Fort Worth. John
Hamilton is not only Autobahn’s representative,
but he is a long time Maverick Region Driving
Coach and Club member. Thank you to John and
Autobahn for your continued support for our DE events.
Below is a picture of one of our Team Leaders, Steve
Jackson, with Drivers Chuck Furlich and John Hamilton,
as Chuck receives his promotion to our Blue Solo Run
Group. Congratulations Chuck! Congratulations to all
the Drivers who received promotions during this event
and the November event too.
November Event
We just wrapped up the last DE event of the year
at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson on November 9 and
10. We enjoyed absolutely beautiful weather for the
weekend. We have not driven the 1.7-mile track in the
clockwise direction in many years, so the new track
direction was like an entirely new track for many of our
drivers and some of our coaches. We would like to thank
all of the drivers and coaches who helped make the
weekend great as well as the Maverick Region PCA Club
Racers who sponsored the event. We also welcomed Hart
Photography as a new sponsor for our breakfast treats.
Hart Photography is our long time event photographer
who captures great images of your car while on track. You can
see and purchase your images for this event on his website at:
https://www.hart-photography.com/events/maverick-regionpca-motorsport-ranch-november-9th-10th-2019/.
That’s all of our events for this year, but we are already
working to finalize next year’s event calendar. The entire
calendar will be posted on our website when it is complete.
In the meantime, please mark your calendar for our
first confirmed event of the year on February 22-23,
2020 at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson on the 3.1-mile
track. Registration will open Wednesday, January 22,
2020 at 8:00 am.
From your Maverick DE Team, we hope you have a
happy holiday season with friends and family, and we
hope to see all of you at the track in 2020!

Dear Tire Guy
What is Heat Cycling
and Why Does it Matter to You?
Track and competition tires are manufactured to be very
aggressive, and need to be broken in first to perform
consistently later. Tires flex under load and duress as they
roll into and out of contact with the road surface. As a tire
flexes and heats up it breaks some of the weaker bonds
between the rubber molecules. After an initial heat cycle
the rubber bonds will link again after they cool, this time
more uniformly and stronger. A full heat cycle therefore
consists of heating and flexing the tire to break weak
rubber bonds and then allowing it to cool for at least 24
hours so the rubber compounds re-link stronger and more
track-ready.
So why does this matter to you? Because if a tire is initially
run too hard, rather than being properly heat cycled,
it will break not only the weaker rubber bonds, but the
stronger ones as well and this will reduce their grip.
Proper heat cycling will also allow for more consistent
performance on the track, as well as longer tread-life.
That’s more money back in your pocket per lap.
Who doesn’t like more money, right? No one. That’s who.
Until next month, drive on!

A Boo-tiful Event: 5th Annual Halloween Rally Overcomes the Weather
By Ed Martelle
provided by Hart Photography
It was a miserable Saturday morning. Gray leaden
skies, cold temperature, winds at 30 mph, and of course,
drizzle and light rain. Still, 29 cars turned up for the 5th
Annual Halloween Rally, starting in The Colony.
Once underway, the rain stopped, the wind lightened,
the drizzle lifted, and the sun came out. The day continued
to improve further, as the finish was at Pilot Point’s wellknown
Buff’s Grill, which made all contestants and
volunteers right at home, and well-fed.
The 82-mile rally was quite straightforward,
but challenging nonetheless, with 18 questions,
10 photographs to be identified along the route,
and six bonus point questions. What the rally
lacked in scenery, it made up for by keeping the
teams very busy.
In addition to the Rally, won by Claudia and Jeff
Reynolds (second place: Raul & Lisa Pena, with Jason and
Patrick Lamers in third, and the coveted Dead Last But
Finished Award going to Frankie Vasquez and Alejandra
Franco), there were the costumes. It was a Halloween
Rally after all. First place for Couples went to Mike
and Lisa Reiss, dressed as scarecrows. Second place for
couples went to Marc and Chris Weinberg, who dressed as
a convict and a prison guard. New this year were awards
for best single costume: First place for Natalie Parma, a
Costume winners: 2nd Place Couples: Mark & Chris Weinberg (Convict
and Prison Guard), 1st Place Couples: Mike and Lisa Reiss (Scarecrows), 1st
Place Individual Costume: Natalie Parma (Devil) and 2nd Place Individual
Costume: Ginger Heuerman (Hippie Girl)
very convincing devil, while second place went to Ginger
Heuerman, a dead ringer for Janis Joplin.
The original Rallymaster for the event was Jay Lynch,
who died while work on the rally was underway. Rally
Chair Don Sebert and an intrepid band of volunteers did
the finishing touches to the event and handled sign-in and
scoring for what became the Jay Lynch Memorial
Halloween Rally. And true to Jay’s spirit and vision,
everyone competing was encouraged to have fun and
enjoy, and, according to post-event conversations, that’s
exactly what they did. A fitting tribute.

The Star Car Show: Trunk or Treat
by Julia Cleath and Becky Gomer
photos provided by Bill Kruder
Julia Cleath - Today was an exciting day! My husband
and I participated in a car show. It was a debut for our
‘81 911 SC. We’ve recently finished a lengthy restoration.
I always enjoy hanging with the Mavs & Mochas
regulars, but today was extra special! The event was
held at The Star
in Frisco, and
had a Halloween
theme, including a
“trunk-or-treat!”
Each vehicle
supplied candy;
many costumed
children came.
The Star venue
offered good
coffee and a
variety of places
to eat. The
weather was
beautiful, and it
ProTecht

appeared that everyone in attendance enjoyed the day.
We had 50+ Porsches, with nearly 100 Maverick
Region members. This was a great showing, as multiple
car clubs were invited.
At these events, I love connecting with the other gals,
(no offense guys),
and today did not
disappoint. Some
of my favorite
Maverick ladies
were there! I
would love to
see more of you
gals come to
these events! We
always have a
good time!

Becky Gomer - What does one say when being asked to
participate in a car show? Of course, you say “yes.” The
Star in Frisco held its annual Star Car Show on Saturday,
October 26. The event information stated that we would
see some of the most popular antique and classic muscle
cars through the decades, as well as a “Trunk or Treat”
for the kids to participate.
The early morning clouds and mist finally parted to
reveal a sunny but
cool Saturday. We
enjoyed hot coffee
with friends,
which I guess
we can consider
an impromptu,
before the show
officially began
at 10 am. I was
impressed with
several of the
various cars in
Top:Wilson Scaggs and
his 944 Turbo ‘Spider’
Bottom: Rare birds
Right: Jon’s ‘95 918
attendance, such as a McLaren Senna, several Shelby
Cobras, and my personal favorite, a Shelby Raptor.
However, truth be told, I was more pleased walking
around our Porsche parking area of more than 50
Maverick members’ cars, which truly represented the
decades of classic Porsche design. From 356s, 911s, 914s,
944s, Boxsters, a Panamera, a Macan, and finally, I can’t
forget the always crowd-pleasing 918. We have some
outstanding cars in our club!
We invited some friends, who own a convertible and
always love to discuss cars when we go out, to meet us at
the event. It was fun to walk around with them discussing
all of the different cars at the show. After seeing the
attendance of our Porsche club and getting the opportunity
to view our star cars, I think we have a couple of future
Maverick members on our hands. I’ll be sure to introduce
them when they join the Porsche family.

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor
by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
I guess it’s traditional to wrap up the year and take
stock in January, which seems a little a little late to me.
I don’t think it’s fair to expect a person to really reflect
on an entire year and plan a new one after wading
through all of the egg nog, cookies and little dandy
things that seem to be around the house then. Not to
mention the glutinous meals and relatives you’re still
recovering from. It can’t just be me. So I’m starting
earlier this year.
The club has enjoyed unprecedented growth, and why
not? Great cars, great events, but as the tag line says,
great people too. Some of those great people are moving
to new positions in the club, and some are taking a well
deserved break. David Robertson has been president
of the Maverick Region since January of 2017, having
served as vice president before that. (Incidentally,
that’s when I began putting ads together for Slipstream
as well, under the tutelage of Mr. Jim Hirsch.) David
has put together 3 great years of club events with the
help of many volunteer board members and many more
volunteer club members working together to pull these
events off, but it’s a lot of work. If you see David at an
event, he’s always wearing a smile and has a handshake
waiting for you. I imagine that will not change, even
when he moves on from his role as president. We owe
David a great thanks for his many years of contributions
to the club. I don’t get to award a Mav of the Month,
but he’d be my pick this month if I did. Thanks David!
As I look back at 2019, I think of all of the great
drives and events I attended. I also think of all of the
great drives and events I wasn’t able to attend. Don’t let
this happen to you. Plan your year around the Maverick
calendar. Don’t miss a single exciting installment of
Mav & Mochas, or hair raising adventure at Motoring
Mavs at Mayo. Seriously, walk into that shop and try
not to get excited about the air-cooled goodness.
Whatever you do, whether you’ve been to a hundred
events or are thinking about going to your first, take the
step and meet some new folks. They’re showing up
every week in record numbers, and they all drive
Porsches. Can you think of a better thing to have in
common? Yeah, I know: Enjoy the drive!
