Slipstream January 2021

Oversteer: Letter from the Editor
by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
We’ve just wrapped up what was certainly a unique
year in the history of the Maverick Region. Virtual Happy
hours and socially distanced drives though the countryside.
These things don’t just happen on their own though. We
owe Claudia and Jeff Reynolds thanks for toiling away and
recruiting such great online hosts. Special recognition goes to
Frank Zack for making sure we had enough drinks to make
it through quarantine. Our volunteer chairs remained busy
last year despite the restrictions. Tours toured, rallies rallied,
autocross...crossed. and we generally made the best of it. We
even squeezed in a car show.
I’d like to thanks a few of our Slipstream contributors that
I can always count on to bring you interesting, informative
stories. Peter Wen began contributing Maverick Marktpreis
August of 2018 and for over 2 years he has highlighted the
values of the cars we love. Not a month has passed that I
haven’t learned something from his article. Thank you Peter.
Our President, Bill Kruder, began his monthly column in
September of 2016. That’s a lot of coffee Bill. Although I
think you might be running out of interesting folks to talk to
if this month is any indication, I do look forward to what you
have for us in 2021.
Many talented folks willing to contribute are reason this
publication is possible. Names like Rob Turner, Joann Talty,
Mark Schnoerr, Mike O’Hare and Michael Baynton probably
sound familiar and we’re lucky to have them. There is one
person that works behind the scenes every month to keep the
quality high and the word butchering to a minimum. Carey
Spreen is the content editor, and I literally could not do any of
this without him. The next drink is on me Carey.
Next month, Slipstream Online will launch (with any
luck.) As has been mentioned elsewhere in this month’s
issue, things will be changing a little for 2021. We will still
be publishing Slipstream in printed form on the odd months.
Even months will now be online only. The reason for this
is twofold. First, the obvious financial savings will allow us
to have more flexibility in bringing you more high quality
events. If Founders Day is a preview of the things to come,
I’d say we’re in good shape. The second reason is to allow
us to bring you relevant information about the club and club
events more quickly and accurately. Slipstream Online will
not replace mavpca.org, it will simply give a new place to see
what’s going on with your club.
I’m looking forward to getting back in the groove so to
speak, and enjoying some time with my Porsche friends. I
can’t wait to see you out there so we can enjoy the drive!
