Membership has its privileges, but volunteering is Where the rewards come from

By Michael Hays, Region VP

Did you know that our club runs solely on volunteers? It takes over 40 people to keep this club running regularly, and a few more for special events. Back in 2021 when I was asked to help set up the class banners for the Concours, I didn’t know how it was going to change my life. Since then, I have helped organize coffee meet ups, lunch pop ups, Christmas Toy Drives, Co-Chair our Tours committee, and, eventually, was elected Vice President.

Being a part of the best car club in the country has given me life experiences that I never imagined. Being a volunteer opens the possibilities for networking with other like-minded individuals and making new friends. This opportunity has allowed me to see how the club operates and how much it gives back to the community. Not just the car community, but the community that we live in. We support several local charities that greatly appreciate and depend on our contributions. Volunteers often get invited to exclusive events, car shows, driving opportunities, and track days. By contributing our time and effort, you too could reap these rewards.

If you are interested in becoming more involved with the club, now is the time to volunteer, as we are approaching our busy season for events and gatherings. If you want to be even more active and serve on the board, there are opportunities there as well. Please reach out to me to discuss these opportunities at vp@mavpca.org

Hope to see you out and about this Spring!

Maverick region charities: Looking ahead to 2025

I am proud to serve as the Maverick Charity Chair for 2025 and to continue to build on the rich history of charitable giving by members of the Maverick Region. Recognizing all of the successful efforts we have achieved, I would like to see our efforts grow. Outlined below are my priorities for 2025 and beyond.

2025 charities

The Executive Council approved a slight narrowing of charities to focus on in 2025. I want to be quick to point out that each of the charities our region has supported are worthy. We will continue to prioritize charitable organizations that come to our attention, following a structured process to ensure these organizations meet our standards.

Our core charities are highlighted in this article. Many of you may be familiar with these, yet for some of you, this may be the first time you are aware of these excellent organizations. Please take a moment to visit our webpage and learn more about each charity. www.mavpca.org/charity

The Huffaker-Hughes Hope House, a home for victims of domestic violence, was introduced to Maverick Region in 1993 by our member Lanean Hughes. She had served as the Charity Chair, spearheading our many trips, contributions, raffles, and other means of raising funds for this worthy organization.

The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is a hunger relief organization and one of the largest North Texas charities. NTFB serves Dallas and 12 surrounding counties.

National Breast Cancer Foundation: NBCF’s mission is to help women now by providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services.

Wipe Out Kids' Cancer offers comfort and hope to kids with cancer through support programs serving the entire family and funds innovative research leading to new discoveries and treatments in the fight against pediatric cancer.

Please note that there are other charitable events that happen throughout the year. For example, our Toy Drive at Christmas is a hit! We will continue to identify opportunities and address them as appropriately.

Ways to serve – We need you!

Giving money is often the first charitable action that comes to mind. This is important and, quite frankly, an easy way to impact those around us.

My goal for 2025 is to streamline giving. I am exploring ways to use technology to simplify giving and standardize the process across our events. Be sure to stop by the event organizing table to see these new methods in action over the next few months. These may become a standard method for us to use beyond 2025.

Donating items is another great way to serve. Once a quarter, in cooperation with a Mavs & Mochas gathering, we conduct a canned food drive benefiting the North Texas Food Bank. Honestly, our giving is down in this area from previous years. You can help by dropping off your canned goods at the table setup by our amazing Mavs & Mochas leaders. Please give generously. Additional opportunities to give other items may arise throughout the year, and our leadership team will communicate these to you.

Volunteering your time is also a fulfilling way to serve our community and can include family members. This can be as simple as participating in a drive to encourage someone with a showing of Porsches or contributing your time and energy supporting our charities.

For 2025, I am organizing on-site volunteer opportunities in the spring and fall. One that comes to mind is sorting and packing food items for the North Texas Food Bank. These events occur on Saturday and provide an occasion for kids 12 and older to participate alongside you so they can watch our charitable hands at work! Please regularly check the Maverick calendar for these opportunities: www.mavpca.org/calendar

Lastly, we may be able to tap into the corporate charity programs within your place of employment. Your employer may match your contributions. Eligibility is determined by your employer as well as the specific steps to take. Please take a moment to learn more about your organization's charitable giving to extend the impact of our giving.

In closing, I want to mention a common saying: “You only live once.” I heard a better phrasing: “You only die once; you live everyday.” Let’s live through our generosity.

I look forward to a front-row seat watching our Maverick Region in action.

Don’t hesitate to contact me with your ideas and suggestions.

By Dave Harness, Region Charity Chair

Mavs & Mochas february recap

We had a fantastic time with the folks from Texas Collector Car Storage & Club. Tim and the crew were wonderful, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. A unique highlight of the event was showcasing one of the track cars from Eagles Canyon, along with Larry Lenamon’s GT3-RS from WERKS RS Motorsport.

We had over 40 cars in attendance in total, and it was delightful to enjoy coffee and bagels with our car friends! We also had a great turnout for the canned food drive, which benefits the North Texas Food Bank. Thank you to everyone who brought canned foods to help those in need!

The featured car of the day was the Turbo 911.

• The Porsche 930 was a turbocharged variant of the 911 model, manufactured between 1975 and 1989.

• Ferry Porsche gave the first Turbo model to his sister Louise Piëch for her 70th birthday.

• The 930 Turbo was introduced at the Paris Auto Show in October 1974 and offered for sale in the spring of 1975. It was first exported to the US in 1976.

• It was the maker's top-of-the-range 911 model for its entire production duration and, at the time of its introduction, was the fastest production car available in Germany.

• During the first year of production, there were only 400 cars produced for the public; the FIA had announced that cars for Group 4 and Group 5 Racing had to be production cars and be available for sale to individual purchasers through manufacturer dealer networks.

painting pretty and perfectly pampered

January and February offered the Maverick women and their guests two wonderfully choreographed activities. Winter events are challenging to plan. Will we see ice or snow? Will it be too cold? Which foods do we choose, should our members be committing to healthy new year resolutions? Fortunately for us, our two monthly events proceeded as planned, putting smiles on the faces of our attendees.

January porsche painting

A break between cold fronts provided ideal weather for our first Paint-Your-Porsche evening at Plano’s Painting with a Twist on Friday, January 17. Prepared with Chick-fil-A nuggets, fruit, water, wine, bubbly, and single-serve bags of snacks, we took a few moments to meet and greet. This is when I met Brenda Barvais and learned she lives around the corner in my neighborhood.

Prior to the event, the early registrants who submitted photos received canvases with pencil sketches of their vehicles. This gave each the opportunity to add backgrounds or details in advance. Ready to work, 16 of us showed up for “class.” We settled in with instructor, Ebony, and her assistant, Yuval, to create 12” x 16” picture-perfect works of art.

On her platform, Ebony showed us how to begin painting the background, using both talent and an engaging sense of humor, while Yuval walked around offering pointers and answering questions. Many ladies painted their cars under pretty blue skies. Jennifer Duman painted her red Boxster on a curvy road among Texas bluebonnets. Patsy Tissenbaum and new member Bridget Sanderfer painted stunning colorful skies. Andrea Pender and Beth Wilt painted their most recent acquisitions. Pat Gouldy featured Sweet Pea with a Blue Ridge sunset. And, while my car hasn’t been to Mars, the rugged terrain of some AI-generated artwork inspired me, and I learned how to paint snow-capped mountains. Two hours wasn’t quite enough time for these wall-worthy masterpieces, but a great time was had by all.

ask-a-Question Tech session

Everyone has questions about their vehicles, so with Porsche Grapevine, we created an Ask-A-Question tech session. Pat Gouldy worked with Liz Shafton, Communications and Experiential Marketing Director, and Sharon Stanley, Service Manager, at Porsche Grapevine to organize a two-hour session on the evening of Thursday, February 20.

Liz provided an Eventbrite signup where each registrant listed a question they’d like answered about their car. From the questions received, they curated a four-station demonstration in their service area.

Just like the 2024 tech session they hosted, we were blown away by the sophistication and efficient organization provided by the Porsche Grapevine team consisting of more than 10 employees helping with the event. For most, it began at 6:00 pm with valet parking, a coat check, a raffle ticket, receipt of a colored lanyard, and a meet-andgreet with sweet and savory bites. We dove into the impressive selfserve charcuterie table by DFW Charcuterie and sampled at the nearby bar offering sparkling water, beer, wine, and a specialty gin and cherry liquor cocktail aptly named the Stuttgart Sling.

We knew the agenda in advance, and our hosts kept us on schedule. At 6:30 pm, we separated into four groups by lanyard color and were met by group leaders who guided us to each station. Fifteen minutes at each station seemed quick but proved adequate to cover details within each category: Infotainment/Custom Settings, Tire/ Maintenance, Special Services, and Classic.

I offered up my semi-clean 2011 Boxster as a demo for the evening hoping to have my soft-top mechanical and care questions answered. Porsche Grapevine wanted my car for a radiator question and planned to demonstrate how they do drain maintenance and radiator cleaning. Sharon Stanley approached me before the event to make sure it was ok to remove the front bumper. I suppose it shows how little I know when this question took me by surprise. Even more surprising – the significant pile of leaves and debris on the floor that was previously inside my radiator!

I asked participants to share with me what they gained from the hour in the shop, and here are some of the takeaways:

• The tire pressure sticker on the door fills a requirement to import the car. It is more important to use the tire pressure differential. They advise +1 or +2 psi for warmer weather, and -4 is good for cold temperatures.

• Trust Porsche’s timeline for oil changes.

• Road force wheel balancing should be done at least once per year.

• Brake caliper color (black, red, white, yellow) typically indicates a type of brake rather than a style choice.

We ended our evening with 30 minutes of additional mingling and one-on-one time with the mechanics for specific questions.

New members Mark and Gail Parry drove away with the “Cozy Night In” raffle prize consisting of a Porsche wine glass set, Porsche Grapevine blanket, a bottle of wine, and a $100 DFW Charcuterie gift certificate. Lisa and Bryan Bell won the “Ready for Spring” prize of a Porsche Grapevine Deluxe Detail, a compact Porsche travel umbrella, and a black Porsche backpack. The rest of us were pampered with gift bags consisting of a soft, warm, grey pashmina and a Porsche model vent air freshener.

autocross update: 2025 challenge cup event 1,

9, lone star park

Event 1 of the 2025 Autocross Season, hosted by Equipe Rapide Sports Car Club (Maverick Region’s autocross connection) began again at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie. The course had multiple-radius turns that kept drivers on their toes, with some rapid speed changeups too.

Everyone got six timed runs, and the weather was cold, even some early drizzle, on Super Bowl Sunday.

Event 2 took place last month at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie on March 9. Event details can be found at http://www. autocross.com.

If you are planning to participate in the Porsche Parade autocross in Oklahoma City this summer, there is time to dial in your driving skills with two more Equipe Rapide events before then: April 6 (Burleson High School), and May 4 (Burleson High School).

You can request an instructor for as many runs as you like (up to six), and all of your times will count. This is NOT the case at the Parade Autocross, at which we will likely get four runs. However, any runs you take with an instructor in the car do not count as official times!

Coffee, Cars & Conversation: linda bambina

This interview first ran in July 2017. When I was looking for the month’s interviewee, I decided it was time that I talked to a woman with a passion for Porsche. I have talked to guys and couples but had not interviewed a woman to date. Let me start by saying up front: until this interview we had never met, much less said hello. However, reading Slipstream since 1996, I guess you could say I had already met her in print, having read her articles over the years. I’ll give you the opportunity to do so as well, since well over a thousand of you are new members since then. So here is the next in my series of “conversations” . . .

Linda Bambina, member since 1981 and happy co-driver 2024 Carrera S and 1962 356 Karmann Hardtop (without top)

bill kruder: Well let’s start with where you are from. I presume not Dallas?

linda bambina: What? You can tell I’m not from here (laughing)? Actually I’m from Midland. My dad was in the oil business, and in the ‘60s there were three things there: cattle, cotton, and oil. After college, I ended up out near Palm Springs for a couple years, then ended up moving to Dallas.

bk: And where did you go to college?

lb: I didn’t stray too far. I went to Texas Tech, which is only about two hours north of Midland.

bk: What did you major in?

lb: I was a Secondary Education major.

bk: And what did you teach?

lb: I taught Special Education for 10 years, then moved into the Gifted program, taught Texas history for some 14 years, later becoming a noisy librarian, and eventually retired after 39 years.

bk: So tell me how you and your husband Alan met?

lb: Alan had moved here from outside Buffalo, NY, and we were both teachers at R. L. Turner High School in Carrollton. I was teaching Special Education, and we both were assigned the same lunch period. After about a year or so of lunches, we started dating.

bk: That’s a long time before you ever had a first date.

lb: Well, let’s just say life is complicated. When we did have our first date, I was in charge of a Sock Hop and managed to rope Alan into helping me - no surprise there. LOL. Well, after the Sock Hop, Alan asked me to stop for a drink. We went to a brand-new place called The Wild Turkey, then to Don Carter Bowling Lanes to meet up with his roommate, followed by a stop at his house before I said “I need to go home” at 4 am.

bk: Wow that’s some first date! And how long after did you guys get married?

lb: It was like three weeks later. We were engaged, and got

married in July 1980, hottest summer on record. We had 42 days in a row over 100 degrees, which still stands today, I think.

bk: Let’s talk cars now. What were you driving then? Alan?

lb: Talk about polar extremes in cars, I was driving a Ford Pinto, yes a Pinto LOL; Alan was driving a ‘75 911 S in Grand Prix White. He loves white Porsches.

bk: And what was your first car?

lb: Hard to believe, but it was 1927 Model T, and, no, I’m not that old. Got my license at 15 and drove it all over Midland and, later, Lubbock.

bk: So, when did you first drive a Porsche?

lb: It was Alan’s ‘75 911 S. We went over to this big parking lot in North Dallas, and he bravely taught me to drive it.

bk: So, tell me about when you became active in the club?

lb:Well, Alan had belonged to the Niagara Region before moving here in 1978, and I joined in 1981. We had met Joan and Barry Gibbs who owned IXXI Enterprises at the time. Joan was president in ’83, and she needed someone to be the Advertising Chair. I said yes, and that led to many years and positions over the next 14 years. (Interesting side note: we have had only two women presidents: Joan was the first in 1983, followed by Fran Ussery in 1984.)

bk: So, was Alan also active in the club?

lb: He was in activities, but I was the one who was involved with the board and kind of pulled Alan in. It wasn’t until 1986 that Alan became President, and he did that for two

terms, staying on through the DFW Parade in 1987, which was such a busy time.

bk: What other positions have you held?

lb: Let’s see - I was Ad Chair, Secretary, and Co-Vice President with Alan back when we had full-blown monthly dinner meetings with programs.

bk: I know you have done a lot more than just hold positions. Tell me about Autocross and Mineral Wells?

lb:Well, we had Autocrosses in parking lots, but light poles became an issue (smiling). One of our members discovered there was an old airfield in Mineral Wells that we could use. Let me tell you, it was more field than an airfield. So a group of us, with our yard tools in hand, started clearing out a “course;” we originally cleared the weeds and overgrowth only where we would be driving.

bk: I’m told you have been active at the National level, too, with the Porsche Parade?

lb: The first Parade in which I had an active role (Registrar) was in 1987, right here in Dallas. It was held at the DFW Airport (the hotel was called the Amfac back then). We garaged our cars there and used Bear Creek Golf Course for the Concours. But what was interesting about this Parade was, up till then, everything had been done by hand and on paper. With the urging of Charlie Davis, we used computers for the first time. We had our hiccups, but it changed forever how things would be done, and the Mavericks are to thank for that.

In 1997, I was part of the planning committee for the San Antonio Parade. That was an interesting one, too, as the Longhorn Region was down to nothing, and Corpus Christi (then known as Coastal Bend Region) and Mavericks were asked to step in. We would drive down once a month for meetings, then head right back to get to work. To make this one more interesting, we added my silly, but fun “Costume Concours” in which you dressed up your car and yourself on a personal theme. My third Parade was in 2004 in Fort Worth, my good friend Jan Mayo was the Parade Chair, and I was the Entertainment Chair, which is a position they invented just for me.

bk: That was actually my first Parade to attend. How did that one go?

lb:Well, being in Cow Town, we, of course, went with that theme. Every Parade has a Volunteer party. Peter Porsche (son of Ferry) was attending, and I managed to talk him into helping us. Several of us dressed up as famous country personalities: Peter was dressed as Roy Rogers, and I was Dale Evans; we sang “Happy Trails to You” to about 500 volunteers at that party.

bk: So how many Parades have you attended?

lb: Think I have been to about 28.

bk: Now, I have to ask about this infamous vest.

lb: Well, that came about after attending the 1993 Parade in Cincinnati. They had this table decorating contest, and our table thought we should step up the game and each make fancy Porsche Crest T-shirts to wear. Well, some time later I decided to get more use out of the crest I had made; I bought a pair of Kmart black jeans, cut a vest out of them, and sewed the crest from the tee on the back.

bk: Let’s fast forward to 2012 and the Maverick 50th Anniversary. I understand you had your input there.

lb: I did, I did. I decided we should have a “Family Portrait” of sorts. I wanted to get 50 cars, one from each year since the Region had existed, but not just anyone’s. They HAD to have been active on the Board. Somehow with lots of help I managed to track them all down in about seven months.

bk:And there was one other thing that we are using today.

lb: YES, I’m thrilled to hear about the tag line Maverick is using today. Mavs had been using one about “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people” since 1986 when Alan used it in his President’s Slipstream column, and in talking with Fran Ussery, she came up with . . . Driving Friendships.

recap: Tech session at s collective departments

By Michael Baynton, Region Tech Session Co-Chair

On a gorgeous Saturday morning, over 80 Mavs gathered at S Collective in Plano for the first tech session of 2025. This highly-anticipated event provided our members with an introduction to S Collective, along with an in-depth presentation of the multitude of services they provide for owners of Porsches and other exotic machinery.

Hosted by Cody Smith and his large and accommodating team, our members were treated to coffee and refreshments as the attendees gathered in the main shop space for a quick overview before the group split into two groups to tour the impressive facilities. One group remained in the main facility for an informative demonstration of the general service and track prep expertise of their team of Porsche-certified mechanics. As a bonus, they showcased all generations of the 911 GT3 with a full show-and-tell of generational improvements of these amazing track weapons.

Meanwhile, the other half of the group moved to an adjacent building that houses S Collective’s paint protection

film (PPF), paint correction, ceramic coating, and mobile detailing departments. Their staff was on hand to provide PPF demos in real time to showcase their top-notch services and attention to detail. It’s truly a one-stop shop for all your high-end car care needs.

Also on hand was the developer of Maranello Luxury Auto Garages, an exclusive lifestyle venue for luxury sports car owners. Due to break ground soon for a 2026 completion, this facility will be located in Plano just off the George Bush Tollway.

To top things off, S Collective brought in pizza and invited everyone to hang around and enjoy an early lunch. And, oh yeah, the raffle! S Collective really stepped it up with amazing giveaways including numerous oil changes, PPF installation, and much more!

It was a great way to kick off the 2025 tech session calendar. Check the event calendar and social media postings for much more to come!

What's

IN THE GARAGE

Admit it. Sometimes, you have sat behind the wheel of your Porsche and replayed in your mind the scene from the movie Le Mans when Michael Delaney (Steve McQueen) enters his 917 on the starting grid just before the race (https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=6Bo553eNdIY). Porsche is known for using racing to develop technologies that make their way to road cars. Through the mid-1960s, it was actually possible to purchase a road-legal version of race cars. The most famous of these is the 550 Spyder in which James Dean came to the end of his life. Other race cars have been modified to be road legal, such as the infamous Count Rossi 917 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0ejiITsvcg) and the two featured in this article, although Porsche did make 20 examples of the GT1 available that were homologated for road use in the late 1990s. Several Maverick Region members are fortunate to enjoy having road-going race cars in their collections, and generously shared them at Maverick Region’s Concours and other events.

356

There’s no agreement on who coined the term “Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday.” Soon after the Porsche 356 was introduced to the US, the marque exemplified that expression. The light and nimble 4-cylinder Porsches, developed further into the 550, 550 A, and 718 race cars, became a favorite track weapon. The 356 Speedster was popular because it was relatively inexpensive, could be driven to the track, easily modified, raced, reassembled, and driven home. 1953, Emanuel Pupulidy purchased a 356 Coupe from Porsche Racing. With a race-developed 1500cc engine, he campaigned the car throughout the US, including the first edition of the June Sprint Races at Road America. In 1958, he won the SCCA F Production

Class Championship. He was well known in the race world for developing his own cars and motorcycles, including a single seat chassis and body, the Pupulidy Special, or Pup, that predated the Porsche 718 by three years. It’s possible he was inspired by Ken Miles gaining notoriety for competing and winning races in his “Pooper” - a Cooper body with a Porsche 356 engine. 911r

The 911R was the first of many 911-based race cars which have dominated motorsport since their inception. After the 911 was introduced, it quickly gained a reputation for its racing prowess. In 1966, Porsche sought to develop it further and undertook a severe effort to drop the weight of the car by stripping it down to its essential elements, drilling holes where the car wouldn’t be compromised, and using lighter materials to increase the power-to-weight ratio. With the same engine found in the 906, the 911R (Renn, German for race) was competitive against cars with greater amounts of horsepower. Upon its release, it became dominant on the track and as a rally car due to its handling, performance, and reliability.

This example was purchased by a privateer who lived in Ethiopia, Dr. Daolio, while waiting for 911R Chassis 002R. It was being used by the Porsche factory racing team for Victor “Quick Vic” Elford, so

Dr. Daolio purchased a 911S from a dealership and had it converted by Porsche Racing into what its owner calls a 911SR. Nino Ronzoni raced the car while it was in Africa from 1968 to 1975, after which it came to America and was hidden in a shipping container residing behind a gentleman's club prior to being discovered and brought back to its glory.

906

Developed by Ferdinand Piëch (nephew of Ferry Porsche) and Hans Mezger, the 906 was the final road-legal racecar Porsche built. Soon after its release, it garnered acclaim for dominating world-class 2-liter endurance racing, and Spyder versions set many records in hill climb events. Many regarded it as one of the most powerful and beautiful competition automobiles of its era. In 1966, it was victorious at the Targa Florio and Paris Grand Prix, swept 4th through 7th place at Le Mans, and took class wins at Daytona, Sebring, Spa, and Monza. Victories by privateer teams extended well into 1968 as the 906 dominated continental sports car races and SCCA events.

Herb Wetanson was an entrepreneur whose hamburger chain, Wetson’s, was well known for selling hamburgers for 15 cents. As his chain of restaurants and wealth grew, he started competing in SCCA races and purchased Porsche 906-132 (coincidentally, Dr. Dialo [see above] also purchased a 906, chassis 906-131). He had “15” painted on each of his cars to reflect the price of the hamburgers that enabled his passion. The car was seen at Bridgehampton, Watkins Glen, and MosSport in Canada in 1966 before he sold it to a Canadian group that campaigned it for several years. Its last entry was in 1974, and it was used in vintage races, including Le Mans

and the Nürburgring in recent years. Coming to Dallas in 2020, it has been driven on the track many times, including at Rennsport Reunion VII in 2023.

908

Ferdinand Piëch’s tenure at the helm of Porsche Racing was a very productive time, experimenting with materials (titanium, magnesium, beryllium, plastic), aerodynamics (long tailed coupes, flaps, fins), design (mixing curving and flat surfaces), and engine size. In the late 1960s Piëch’s desire to dominate racing produced highly successful cars. Although overshadowed by the 917, the 908 was one of the most successful of the Piëch race cars, with production continuing through the mid-1970s. The 908/01 K coupe won the first race it entered, the 1000 km of Nürburgring, piloted by Jo Siffert and Vic Elford. Spyder versions were dominant in their era, one variant racked up 50 victories among 100 podium placements, including taking second place at the 1970 12 Hours of Sebring at the hands of Peter Revson and Steve McQueen.

This example of the K coupe, or short-tailed coupe, (Kurtz is German for short) competed into the 1970s. Known as Chassis 908006, it ran in one race, the 1968 Austrian Grand Prix, also known as the 500 Kilometers of Zeltweg, at the hands of Vic Elford. Although Elford qualified second, he finished in eighth position due to faulty throttle linkage that required multiple repairs. Jo Siffert was victorious in his 908, while Hans Hermann took second driving yet another 908 (of the 12 cars that completed the race, nine were manufactured by Porsche!). Chassis 908-006 made its way into a private collection in 1972. In 2012, it came to the Maverick Region, and in 2021 during COVID it was modified to become street legal. It gets regular exercise on Texas roads in addition to appearing at special events and car shows, such as Rennsport Reunion V, where it was displayed in the tent showcasing Porsche’s greatest racecars. It won Best of Show at the 2015 Concours d’Elegance of Texas and the President’s Award at the 2022 Maverick Concours. 962

The 962 was another prolific race car during the span in which it campaigned, scoring 19 constructor’s championships in the various series in which it competed. Of the 91 that were produced, 75 were sold to privateers. Memorable liveries include Rothman’s Cigarettes, Löwenbräu Beer, and Coca-Cola that were seen often on the top step of the podium in races ranging from Le Mans to the IMSA series.

There were several efforts to convert retired race cars into road-going

hyper-cars. Koenig Specials and Dauer Racing were the most prolific, and Derek Bell planned to make a run of streetable 962s using twin turbo engines from the 993 GT2. Only one was completed using Chassis 962-00, and it was spotted in a service bay at Mayo Performance in February, providing a treat for those present for the Motoring Mavs at Mayo’s event that day.

Tributes and replicas

With value of the original race cars reaching into the tens of millions of dollars, the producers of the 2019 movie Ford v Ferrari commissioned a fleet of replica cars to use for filming. Several of them have made their way to Dallas, including the replica of the Porsche 906 (Siffert/Davis) that placed fourth in the 1966 race behind the three GT40s. That car is seen throughout the movie, and you may have spotted it at car shows, such as the March 1 Garages and Gearheads. While some may look askance at replicas, they were built to be capable of operating at racing speed (150+ mph) while mimicking the original models that are too valuable to use and

uninsurable. The 906 has a custom-built tube frame chassis built by Hollywood Motor Cars with a Subaru WRX drivetrain.

The 904 (marketed as the Carrera GTS, it is the first Porsche to use the “GTS” moniker) has been copied by several manufacturers. While not intended by the author as a slight to Porsche, the fit, finish, and overall quality of the bodies used in reproductions is widely acknowledged as better than what Porsche produced due to its focus on saving weight by using the minimum amount of fiberglass and disregard for aesthetics. The car pictured here was built from a kit produced by Avanti Motors in 2005 (Avanti is best known for its continuation production of the Studebaker model of that name).

Having a 3.0 liter flat six and Porsche 901 five-speed gearbox (and air conditioning!), this example is worthy of the marque.

bryan karlan's 914 Tales

In 1984, I was attending the University of Colorado at Boulder and playing baseball for the Buffs. However, I didn’t care much about my studies, so my father made a deal with me that if I achieved a B average, he’d buy me a car. So, I did just that.

We lived in Newport Beach, California. This was before the SR 55 extension was constructed, so the only way to get to the 405 was to drive on Newport Blvd. On the right was a gardening company that also had some cars on the lot that were sold on consignment. We drove by, and I saw a car that struck me, a yellow ’75 914 2.0 with American Eagle rims and “Porsche” spelled along both sides at the bottom of the doors. It had A/C, a tan interior, and the upgraded gauge package. I drove it and loved it, but the price was a bit high. I told my dad that he could just buy me a Hyundai, and I meant it. He yelled, “I’ll not have my son driving a Hyundai!”

So, the 914 was mine, and I had a Porsche that matched the same colors as my baseball uniform at CU.

I loved and hated that car. It was so much fun, but was a service hog. I spent all my free dough and my father’s dough fixing it. I lived in ski heaven, but my free cash was taken up on this car rather than skiing. But I’d skip class and just blast up in the mountains. However, it had one major flaw: after driving it non-stop for about three hours, it would burn out the starter motor. The thought was that this was related to the closeness of the catalytic converter, so I had the cat taken out and a straight pipe put in. While I was at it, I had the engine bored out for more power.

A year later, I was in CA getting my smog done when I suddenly remembered I’d removed the cat. This is a major offense in CA, so I stood tensely while the technician printed the report. “You passed,” he said. I couldn’t believe it and got out of there fast. Removal of the cat however, did not solve the problem. Every time I drove from Boulder to Newport Beach or back, the starter motor would be dead unless I stopped every couple of hours to let it cool down.

But I learned not to care; I could easily get the car moving a bit and would hop in the car and pop the clutch. At one point, I went six months without a starter. I even remember leaving Chili’s with my girlfriend, and she, in her pink blouse, pink purse, pink heels, and pink miniskirt, bending over the car in front and pushing it ever so much so that I could pop the clutch in reverse. I was not hobbled in the least by this lack of a starter.

After leaving CU for home during winter break in ‘85, I stayed overnight in Cedar City, UT. I parked on top of a hill in the dirt parking lot so that I had plenty of runway to pop the clutch. But the next morning I couldn’t do it. I tried three or four times, but it wouldn’t work, so I attempted to push the car back up the hill to try again. It was a bit too steep, and I was struggling. An older man, out of shape with a red face, offered to help, and he and his wife pushed me up the top of the hill. Again, I tried three or four times and couldn’t get the car going.

He offered, again, to help, but they were terribly out of breath. I was genuinely concerned for his health, so we tried pushing along the flat part. Two more times, he and his wife pushed while I tried to pop the clutch, but nothing still. I told him, “Let me try one more time!” Suddenly, it occurred to me… sheepishly, I checked the key and turned it, the lights came on the dash and the fan came in the engine bay. I said, “OK!” He pushed me, and the car popped to life. I waved and drove off, too embarrassed to tell him I had forgotten to turn the ignition on.

To this day, I still wonder what he was thinking when I drove off. “That freakin’ idiot had us pushing the car all around this lot and hadn’t turned the key!” feaTure / Brian Karlan's 914 Tales

The 2025 Motorsport season opens

By Mike O’Hare

In the IMSA world: I'm sure, most Porsche motorsport fans are gleaming about the results from this year’s Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. In case you’ve been living under a rock or are just a “casual” motorsports fan, Porsche Penske Motorsport earned its second consecutive overall 24 Hours of Daytona win. This is Roger Penske’s 59th year of competing in motorsports, and his quest, once again, will be to take the top spot at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans (more on that in future articles). Team Penske’s second consecutive win wasn’t the only highlight of the race; it was also Porsche’s 20th overall victory, earning them the #1 manufacturers’ spot for wins. In exciting fashion, the #7 factory 963 with drivers Felipe Nasr, Nick Tandy, and Laurens Vanthoor passed the #6 Porsche (Matt Campbell, Kevin Estre, Mathieu Jaminet) with just 20 minutes to go to claim the victory. It became a very crowded podium as the #6 Porsche earned a 3rd place finish just behind the #60 Meyer Shank Acura ARX-06. But it didn’t end there: in the GTD class, Wright Motorsports earned a 2nd place podium finish in their 911 GT3 R with drivers Adam Adelson, Elliott Skeer, Ayhancan Güven, and Tom Sargent.

In the WEC world: I’m actually multitasking writing this Slipstream article and watching via YouTube the finish of the inaugural WEC Race in Qatar. Unfortunately, it’s been a very disappointing start (1st WEC Race) and finish for Porsche in the desert. It was a 10th and 11th place finish for Team Porsche Penske and a 15th placing for Proton Competition in their Hypercar Class 963s. Porsche’s two teams (Manthey and Iron Dames) in LM GT3, didn’t fair any better, finishing 10th and 11th respectively. According to Kevin Estre in the #6 Penske 963, the weight of the car became a factor, and that the Qatar track is a “big weight sensitivity course.” I’m optimistic the Porsche and team engineers will devise a strategy to get the teams back into a competitive position before the next race in Imola on April 20.

Finally, there was an article in Sportscar 365 that I thought was very interesting and wanted to share a few of its key points. The sports car convergence became a reality in 2023 with the launch of IMSA and the ACO’s LMDh prototype platform, enabling manufacturers to compete in both the WeatherTech Championship (IMSA) and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the SAME car. Originally, only four manufacturers signed up initially to build

the LMDh machinery, and, in just a few short years, this number has doubled. Recent confirmations from Hyundai-Genesis, Ford (for the 2026 season), and McLaren (2027 season), along with current Acura, Alpine, BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Peugeot, Toyota, Porsche, and Aston Martin make for a hyper-competitive series. To quote IMSA President John Doonan: “We are quickly moving from the ‘Golden Age’ to the ‘Platinum Age’ of sports car racing.” You be the judge, and, if you haven’t watched an IMSA or WEC race, I encourage you to check them out!
