DEPARTMENT | UNDER THE HOOD

My Confession I have a confession to make. I joined the Maverick Region in August of 2008 after purchasing my second Porsche, a Cobalt Blue 1992 968 Cabriolet. My motivation for joining was to meet people to possibly gain clients for my CPA practice.

When I joined, there was a blast email that indicated that none of the four officers were running for re-election. I offered up my services as Treasurer since I was an accountant and was familiar with not-for-profit accounting. That would give me even more exposure. It would be good for business, right?

I served as Maverick Region Treasurer for five years, from 2009 through 2014. In 2015, I began serving as President for the years 2015 and 2016, which gave me even more exposure. I would have served longer, but I suffered a personal setback with a medical issue. After that, I served as Vice-President from 2017 through 2019. In fact, the last half of 2019, the person who had begun serving as Treasurer moved away, and I was also performing that function for the last half of that year.

You may ask “Was it worth it?” Heck yeah! Did I get much business out of it? No; I did get a few new clients, but not many. What I did obtain was a significant knowledge about Porsches. I have purchased and sold a few more, some with the assistance of club members. But, most of all, I have gained many friends. The old saying is true: “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.”

My point in giving my history with the club is not self-aggrandizing. It is to emphasize the benefits of active membership. Through my almost eighty years, I have been a member of several organizations. I have seen members drop out because “they were not getting any benefit out of their membership.” Another old adage (I can use “old adages” at my age) is “you get out of something what you put in it”.

Several years ago, I attended a “Cars and Coffee” at the BMW dealer on the North Dallas Tollway. At that event, I met Maverick Region members who had been members for many years - 15 to 20 - and had never attended an event. They did not know what they were missing.

Since you are reading this article, you have noticed the several types of events your club puts on for your pleasure.

I encourage you to find one and attend it. If you like it, attend it more than once. If you don’t enjoy it, there are lots of other types of events to choose from.

If you are attending events that the club puts on, you know that they are run by volunteers. The club would not be able to provide the great variety of events without these tremendous workers. If you have not volunteered for an event that you attend, please consider doing so. We can never have too many volunteers.

While preparing to write this article, I looked over several issues of Slipstream that were published when I was President and Vice President. Two things stood out. One: the range of activities that the club provides has grown; and two: the chairpersons have changed (except for Autocross; thank you Mark!). We never want someone to get burned out. Also, people move away. If you are volunteering for an event, I encourage you to consider becoming the new chairperson or co-chair when the current one steps down.

If you are a chairperson, thank you so much for your efforts. It is amazing the amount of effort that our chairs and co-chairs expend. The recent Gimmick Rally is a perfect example. Kudos to Daniel and Jeff and their committee members.

I want to challenge all chairpersons to look for a committee member that can be groomed to take your place.

You might not step down at the end of this year, but you probably will do so some year.

By Jim Falgout, Region Treasurer

FEATURE | TUB CLUB ROAD TRIP

A Visit to the "Wellness Capital of Texas" The Tub Club took a road trip to Mineral Wells on April 8 and 9. A total of 21 club members made the trip, along with eight 356s. The Livermores, Bambinas, Bushnells, Ushers, Butchers, Morrises, Mokarens, Madsens, Jameses, Maffeys, and Hertha Hughes made the trek, staying overnight at the downtown Crazy Water Hotel. The Crazy Water has been recently renovated and reopened in 2021. We all enjoyed seeing the updates to one of the oldest hotels in Texas, originally built in 1913, but destroyed by fire in 1925. See https://www.texasmonthly.com/travel/ crazy-water-hotel-mineral-wells/ for more about this historic hotel.

We arranged a few photo ops of our cars in front of several of the large murals in downtown Mineral Wells before taking a driving tour to Mineral Wells State Park and the Vietnam War Museum. Bob Morris, who served as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War, gave us an excellent talk regarding his experiences. Great weather, great roads, great hotel, and, most of all, great friends made for a wonderful weekend! Planning is under way for our next road trip to Waco.

(Note: there were no reported ghost sightings at the Crazy Water Hotel, but that doesn’t mean none were seen).

A Spring Collection

UPCOMING EVENTS

What do engines, gourmet confections, encouragement packages, and haute couture have in common? To most, probably nothing, but to several women and a few lucky gentlemen, it’s what the MWBTW experienced recently.

Engines - Fifth Gear Autosports in Lewisville hosted our annual tech session on April 16 featuring instructor Trevor James. With an animated presentation called “Engines and More,” Trevor passionately explained how our engines worked while we dined on salad and pizza graciously provided by our hosts.

A retired US Air Force jet engine mechanic, Trevor has been modifying and racing cars for more than 30 years. Skilled in repackaging complicated topics into more accessible information, he volunteered to provide us technical insight into what motivates our Porsches. “It was great to watch the lightbulbs turn on as I taught. I saw the attendees’ excitement as they understood concepts that seemed out of reach before we started. I had an excellent time!” said Trevor.

Nate Wagner of Fifth Gear was on hand to contribute and guide us through the shop.

Trevor's Students Additional concepts clicked as we viewed a client’s Porsche 911 perched on a lift with its engine lowered to ground level while undergoing repairs.

Gourmet Confections - Ten days later, two dozen Mavs piled into Bresnan Bread and Pastry just east of the McKinney Square. It had been four years since our first Porsches and Pastries was held at this location. Sunday mornings are special with mixed berry muffins, sour cream coffee cakes, monkey bread, Kouign Amanns, bacon/cheddar/chive scones, ham and Swiss croissants, and delicious cocoa brownies. Many drivers met atop the nearby Chestnut Parking Pastry Crew Garage before filling the long reserved table in the new dining area at 9:20 am.

Encouragement Packages - A second 2026 HOPE Kit Packing Party included nearly a dozen Mavs on Friday morning, May 1 at the National Breast Cancer Foundation headquarters in Frisco. Some volunteers worked a two-hour shift while others carried on with their day after filling hundreds of kits during the first hour. NBCF Director of Fundraising, Becca Epperley, presented the MWBTW with a 2025 Bronze Partner Thank You Award for supporting women at every step of the breast cancer journey.

NBCF Volunteers Haute Couture - On Thursday, May 7, in a nearly empty Grapevine theater, eight of us gathered to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. The film, twenty years after the first, was entertaining and full of high fashion and attitude. The camaraderie was even better.

718 Celebration Day will be held on Saturday, July 18. Destination is The Forge restaurant in Ben Wheeler, TX. Female drivers and their guests in any Porsche are invited to sign up.

Tapas Cooking Class at Sur La Table will be held in Southlake on Tuesday, August 4 at 7 pm is this year’s cooking class.

Participants will learn to make savory albondigas, garlicky gambas al ajillo, crispy patatas bravas, classic pan con tomate, elegant Serrano ham-wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese, and finish with a festive sangria sorbet.

Ladies’ HPDE Day or Weekend will take place at Eagles Canyon Raceway on September 19 and 20. So many different pieces are involved in putting on this event. This will be our fifth annual ladies’ track day, and we never know when it will be our last. Come out to improve your driving skills on Saturday in an all-female run group with the option to continue learning on Sunday in the Green Group. Sign up will open one month in advance.

NBCF Mavs & Mochas Revved Up for a Cure will be held at Porsche McKinney Service Center on Saturday morning, October 24. Support the NBCF and enjoy spending time with your favorite ladies. More details to follow next issue and on our Facebook page.

Ladies’ Autocross Event is at Lone Star Park on Sunday, November 8. If you’ve ever wanted to know what autocross is about, this event is for you. The AX team is doing a special run group for us, with a course walk before the drivers meeting.

It begins early, there’s a break for lunch, and coaches will be available. Find more information in the next issue and on our Facebook page.

Fifth Annual Cookie Swap will take place at Classic Wine in Frisco on Saturday, December 12. Bring two dozen cookies and join us for all the usual fun from 2-4

FEATURE | PICK YER TOUR 2026

Country Roads Paved / Unpaved Tour Recap

by Carey Spreen, Pick-Yer-Tour Co-Chair The YO Ranch Hotel in Kerrville once again hosted the Pick Yer Tour weekend, jointly organized by Maverick and Hill Country Regions, over the first weekend in May. This event was the culmination of an idea that our two regions get together to host an event that had several different tours available, including the traditional twisty two-lane backroads that the Hill Country is known for, less-traditional unpaved county roads, and an absolutely UNtraditional off-highway vehicle (OHV) park for 4x4s.

Each year, the paved/unpaved and OHV park tours attract a small but enthusiastic group of Porsche enthusiasts. This year was no different, except that the groups were smaller than in the past, but no less enthusiastic. This story features the unpaved county road tour, called Country Roads.

I should note that check-in for the event took place on a Friday, while the actual tours departed over a two-hour period on Saturday morning. Friday saw rain for much of the afternoon, which suggested that our unpaved route on Saturday might be more moist than usual, and this turned out to be true.

The Pick Yer Tour Event Chair Four vehicles had signed up for the Country Roads tour: Sue’s and my base Cayenne, before his morning coffee two more Cayenne Diesels, and a Macan. Unfortunately, the Macan crew had come down with something overnight and was unable to join us, so the tour ended up consisting of just the three Cayennes.

We changed the route for the paved/unpaved tour this year to shorten it a bit, while still including as many unpaved miles as possible. The route took us north from Kerrville on mostly paved roads, except for one stretch of gravel road which gave us a hint of more muddy goodness to come.

After a brief rest stop in Harper, TX, we continued north into Mason County, where we got into the main unpaved stretch. Along this route, we were overtaken by a group of about 20 motorcyclists riding “adventure bikes” with windshields, saddlebags, the works. They were moving at a good clip until they encountered the “all weather” portions of the gravel road. Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to have a lot of experience with muddy ruts, as several of them went down and had to be helped back up to the vertical position. No one was hurt (except maybe their pride), but we Cayenne drivers were happy with our choice of vehicle!

This section of the tour is the highlight of the Country Roads tour, as it includes a crossing of the James River. This is not a bridge, nor is it a low water crossing; the road takes you down the riverbank and into the water for about 300 feet, driving up the bank on the opposite side and back onto dry land. In actuality, though, it looks and sounds more intimidating than it really is; the river bottom is a solid slab of rock, and the water is only about six inches deep, but it takes a leap of faith for a first-timer to drive into what looks like a deep, dark body of water.

After the river crossing, we headed into the town of Mason, where we had lunch at Cooper’s Original Pit Bar-BQue, where you choose your meat by weight at the outdoor pit grill and get your sides indoors.

After lunch, we saddled up and headed southeast for some more gravel, cattle guards, and historic stone buildings that we would never have seen from the nearest paved road.

As the afternoon progressed, we had to set our sights back on Kerrville and civilization, so we returned to paved roads and made our way back to the YO Ranch Hotel, where the almost-famous Dirty Porsche Contest was to be held at 4:00 pm. This year, thanks to the muddy conditions, two of our Country Roads Cayenne teams won cleaning kits from XPEL at the Dirty Porsche Contest awards that evening.

We thank Porsche Austin, Porsche South Austin, and XPEL for their support, and we hope to see you at next year’s event!

Pick-Yer-Tour Weekend by Steve Pierce, Hill Country Region My wife Pei and I decided to sign up for the PYT weekend back in January, driving our 911 Carrera Cabriolet. This was to be our first time participating, and we were excited. The event has been held annually since 2023 and is jointly hosted by the Hill Country and Maverick Regions. We learned over the course of the weekend that it started out as an overlanding trip to the Texas Hill Country for Porsche SUV owners from the Maverick Region, organized by Carey Spreen, but it quickly morphed into a dual-purpose event due to a suggestion from Gordie Robbins [1.1]of the Hill Country Region to expand it to include all Porsche vehicles from both regions. What a great idea!

This year saw upward of 150 Porsches take part. Even with about 20 cancellations due to the wet weather leading up to the event, those who persevered were rewarded with some of the most spectacular weather Texas can offer! Temperatures ranged from high 40s on Saturday morning to low 80s in the afternoon, with nary a cloud to be seen.

Regardless of which of the five tours one selected, there were good experiences and safe returns to base for all. The routes ranged from the challenging but exciting Canyon Carver, which included the famed “Three Sisters” or “Twisted Sisters” of Ranch Roads 335, 336, and 337, to the more casual and self-paced Leisure Lane Tour. Others enjoyed the Scenic Serpentine, the Country Roads Paved/Unpaved Tour, or the SUV-only Rocky Roads Tour. Everyone we spoke with enjoyed exploring this scenic part of Texas with our capable volunteer drive leads and sweeps, which included some unexpectedly brilliant wildflowers that got a new lease on life with the cooler temps and moisture during the week.

After the drives on Saturday, folks took advantage of free time to explore the Kerrville area, socialize by the pool, take a nap, or sip a beverage on the balcony, prior to reconvening for the banquet dinner on Saturday night. Pei and I did a little of each!

At the banquet, the distinctive burgundy PYT polo shirts were everywhere as folks mixed and mingled. We enjoyed great company seated with a mix of Hill Country and Maverick Region folks swapping stories from the day and getting to know each other a little better. Turns out those folks from North Texas aren’t so bad after all! Must be the love of Porsche vehicles that does it.

Speaking of Porsches: what a fine collection we had at the event. Models ranged from at least one 944, a 928, and a range of Boxsters and Caymans of all generations, to a full palette of ‘70s and ‘80s G-series and 964-generation 911s, through the latest 992s, including a 992 Turbo S and a GT3 RS so fresh off the boat that it didn’t even sport license plates yet (“They’re in the car officer!”). On the SUV side, we had a smattering of Macans and Cayennes, which proudly displayed their owners’ willingness to test them out “off piste” and enter the Dirty Porsche Contest. Those who did so competed for much-deserved XPEL wash kits. A few P-cars and an Ineos Grenadier got in on the action too!

Door prizes abounded through the night, with many folks walking away with goodies ranging from Porsche paraphernalia to car care products to 2-way radios (all the better to hear your tour lead and sweep with) to valuable prizes from the event sponsors at Porsche Austin and XPEL Austin and Dallas. There were enthusiastic exclamations around the large banquet room as names were called and prizes handed out.

Pei and I loved the experience and will be sure to return. I was a bit apprehensive that my choice of the Canyon Carver tour would be a bit too much “to-ing and fro-ing” for her, but she enjoyed the run, even if I “threw it” into a few corners a bit too exuberantly for her liking. We slept soundly on Saturday night and enjoyed breakfast on Sunday morning before bidding our farewells. We enjoyed a picturesque top-down drive home in perfect conditions, and Pei got to enjoy carving a few curves of her own on some great Hill Country roads.

Thanks to all the volunteers who put on a hugely successful weekend and especially to the event organizers, Ken Kalin from Hill Country and Carey Spreen from Maverick. Hope to see you there next year!

The Garven Store by Robyn Lee

Garven Store Main Entrance

The early morning was filled with the throaty grumble of thirteen 911s. The air was cool and fresh, the cloudless sky a deep blue. And, here we were, pulling into the Garven Store in Mountain Home, TX, for a much needed pit stop. As the motors shut down one by one the chickens and peacocks guarding the restrooms tuned up, their calls echoing in the morning air.

But, in the distance, getting louder by the second, was the sound of more high performance engines, and what should appear but fourteen more proud little vehicles coming from the direction we were headed. They pulled in neatly; we all mingled for a moment, and then, our group was off again, cruising through the beauty of the Texas Hill Country on a sunny Saturday morning. Perfection.

Personalize Your Porsche: Interior Upgrades for Enthusiasts For many Porsche owners, the driving experience is about more than performance. It's the feel of the steering wheel in your hands, the look of the cockpit when you open the door, and the satisfaction of driving a car that reflects your personality. While performance modifications often get the spotlight, interior upgrades can be just as rewarding. And while many projects require professional expertise, there are several upgrades enthusiasts can tackle themselves with excellent results.

Start with the Steering Wheel... If there's one component you interact with every time you drive, it's the steering wheel. A worn or faded wheel can make an otherwise well-maintained Porsche feel older than it is. Several companies offer DIY wrap kits that allow owners to recover their factory wheel in leather, Alcantara, or a combination of materials. The process requires patience more than specialized skill, and the results can dramatically improve both appearance and feel.

Refresh the Shift Area... Whether your Porsche has a manual transmission, PDK, or Tiptronic, the shift knob and boot are often among the first interior components to show wear. Replacing a worn shift boot with fresh leather or Alcantara and pairing it with an upgraded shift knob can modernize the interior while preserving the car's character. Most installations require only basic hand tools and can be completed in an afternoon.

Bring Your Seats Back to Life... Complete seat upholstery is best left to professionals, but owners can still make a significant difference themselves. Leather bolsters often become worn, faded, or discolored over time. A thorough cleaning, conditioning, and leather recoloring treatment can dramatically improve the appearance of the seats and the cabin as a whole. An for some models, replacement inserts and trim components are also available, allowing owners to refresh key areas without a complete restoration.

Upgrade Your Floor Mats... One of the easiest interior upgrades is a set of custom floor mats – Premium materials, contrasting stitching, embroidered logos, and color-matched edging can instantly elevate the cabin's appearance. Beyond aesthetics, quality mats help protect original carpeting and preserve the vehicle's value.

Enhance the Interior Trim... Interior trim offers another opportunity for personalization. Carbon fiber accents, Alcantarawrapped pieces, painted trim, and leather-covered details can significantly change the character of the cockpit. And for owners who enjoy experimenting, trim-wrap kits provide an affordable and reversible way to explore different finishes before committing to permanent modifications.

Don't Forget the Small Details... Some of the most rewarding projects are also the simplest - Replacing broken seat belt guides, upgrading pedal covers, restoring faded trim pieces, or converting interior lighting to LEDs can make a Porsche feel noticeably newer. These upgrades are generally inexpensive, require minimal tools, and can often be completed over a weekend.

Know When to Call a Professional... Part of the enjoyment of Porsche ownership comes from working on the car yourself.

However, some projects require specialized tools and experience to achieve factory-quality results.

Custom seat upholstery, dashboard restoration, headliner replacement, and complete interior rebuilds are typically best left to professionals. In these situations, professional craftsmanship is often the smartest investment.

Porsche ownership is a personal experience, and your interior should reflect that. Whether it's a custom steering wheel wrap, refreshed leather, upgraded floor mats, or carefully selected trim accents, the best modifications are the ones that make the car feel uniquely yours.

You don't need a full restoration to make a meaningful improvement. Start with one project you've been considering and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from making your Porsche even more your own.

FEATURE | ROY POPE AND FOWOPOCO

Roy Pope Grocery and FoWoPoCo Every great gathering place has a story. For the last three years, Roy Pope Grocery has been more than a coffee stop for FoWoPoCo (Maverick Region’s Fort Worth Porsches and Coffee “pop-up” events)—it has been our clubhouse, town square, and starting point for friendships, drives, and Porsche adventures. As Roy Pope closes one chapter and begins another, it is fitting to review the history of both Roy Pope Grocery and FoWoPoCo, whose stories became intertwined.

The Roy Pope story began in 1943. Fort Worth was booming as defense industries expanded around Carswell Air Force Base and nearby manufacturing plants. Neighborhoods were growing west of downtown, and entrepreneurs Roy Pope and Charles Kincaid saw an opportunity to serve the families moving there.

They opened a neighborhood grocery and meat market on Merrick Street. The business became a local favorite, offering quality meats and groceries to a growing community. When the partners went their separate ways, Charles Kincaid opened a business, not far away, that would become Kincaid’s Hamburgers, while Roy Pope continued building the neighborhood grocery.

Over the decades, Roy Pope Grocery became a Fort Worth institution. Generations of customers visited for specialty foods, game meats, gourmet cheeses, and an impressive wine selection. It was one of those places where shopping felt personal and customers were greeted by name.

Like many independent grocers, Roy Pope eventually faced challenges from larger competitors. In 2020, the store was sold to new owners who saw a Fort Worth tradition worth preserving. It received a facelift and a renewed focus on essential groceries, wine, and coffee. Little did they know they were also creating the perfect setting for another Fort Worth tradition.

The FoWoPoCo story started in 2023. At a Mavs & Mochas gathering, Les Linenschmidt introduced me to Chris Chilton with a simple statement: “You need to meet this guy from Fort Worth.”

Over the following months, we crossed paths frequently. One topic kept resurfacing: Fort Worth needed its own Porsche coffee gathering. While we enjoyed attending Mavs & Mochas and FloMoPoCo (Flower Mound Porsches and Coffee) events, the drive across the Metroplex made us wonder why there wasn’t something closer to home.

Both of us knew Paul Moseley, affectionately known as the “Mavs Fort Worth Guy.” We approached Paul with our idea. Then Chris made the suggestion that changed everything: “Let’s meet at Roy Pope.”

The three of us met there for coffee, which lasted three hours. During that conversation, we concluded that there was pent-up demand in Fort Worth for more local Porsche Club events, and we had a place to gather.

Chris created the first invitation to Maverick Region members. FoWoPoCo was officially born, and Roy Pope proved to be the perfect host. The atmosphere was relaxed, the coffee was good, and we were welcomed with open arms. It became the rare place where conversations about air-cooled engines, road trips, photography, retirement, family, and life flowed as freely as the coffee.

While FoWoPoCo grew, we witnessed the challenges facing neighborhood grocers. While Roy Pope offered food service, it was never fully positioned as a traditional restaurant destination, nor does it have the selection of the nearby Central Market.

The owners were not prepared to give up, and found a new group to move Roy Pope forward. The new ownership group has a reputation for preserving beloved Fort Worth institutions and has another vision for the property. Roy Pope Grocery closed on May 31 and is undergoing a seven- to eight-month transformation into a full-service restaurant.

May 29 was our final coffee gathering at the store. We raised approximately $3,000 for the staff to say thank you for three years of hospitality, friendship, and support.

Now FoWoPoCo is searching for a new home. Finding another location with the flexibility, welcoming atmosphere, and Fort Worth character that Roy

By Raul Peña Pope provided will not be easy.

Photos by the author and Paul Mosely One thing is certain: the friendships built there will continue long after the last cup of coffee was poured.

DEPARTMENT | MARKET WATCH

Why Some Porsches Sell for Twice What They Should A question I often hear is “How did that Porsche sell for so much money?” These questions typically relate to recently sold cars on Bring a Trailer (BaT) or other auction platforms. In the past few weeks, there have been a few sales that surprised me, too.

A 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Widebody recently sold for $375,000 on BaT. It was a mid-mileage car with 47,000 miles, and the result was high even compared to recent sales of 964 Turbo and Carrera RS models. Prices for C4 widebody cars have been growing slightly from the low $200Ks a year ago to mid $200Ks recently. Porsche sent only 267 of these cars to the US, and they are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain in original condition. For buyers, the model remains one of the most distinctive air-cooled 911 variants, with an understanding that another comparable example may not appear for years. This C4 was also owned by a well-regarded air-cooled shop owner for many years, giving bidders confidence in its mechanical condition. However, a sale price 50% higher than the most recent comparative sale is surprising!

Another extraordinary sale price was achieved by a 4,500-mile 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S sold at $381,000. While the low miles were a key driver of price, this sale is comparable to sales prices for low mileage 993 Turbo or 993RS variants. The 993 Carrera S represents a different kind of desirability. Widebody rear-wheeldrive 993s have remained a favorite for enthusiasts seeking the nospoiler look, and the C2S cars were limited in production.

Two recent surprising results for water-cooled 911 sales were related to a 996 Carrera Coupe and a 997 Turbo S Coupe. The 996, a low mileage 2003 model, sold for $63,000. An 8,000-mile Ice Blue 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Widebody – Sold for $375,000 Metallic 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S sold at $226,000 tells a similar https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1994-porsche-911-carrera-4-widebody-33/ story.

The 996 example illustrates that this price trend is no longer limited to air-cooled cars. For years, the 996 generation lived in the shadow of the 997 generation in the marketplace. Buyers are becoming increasingly selective, and low mileage, manual gearboxes, desirable colors, originality, and preservation are increasing the value of cars that were once thought of as less desirable. The sale price of $63,000 is almost double what recent sales have been.

While Porsche produced a reasonable number of 997 Turbo S models, this particular car combined several characteristics collectors 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S – Sold for $381,000 increasingly value: ultra-low mileage, exceptional preservation, and an uncommon Ice Blue Metallic finish. The sale price of $226,000 https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-porsche-911-carrera-s-coupe-97/ exceeded dramatically what many enthusiasts would consider reasonable for a 997 Turbo S - typically in the $125,000 to $150,000 range.

A new market trend exceeding traditional valuation models has emerged. Collectors have created an individual example value that sits apart from the model value. In other words, buyers are rewarding originality, provenance, documentation, color, and rarity to isolate each car as an individual piece rather than valuing it based on generation.

The shift from a focus on modifications and personalization as seen twenty years ago to the opposite today displays another change 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe – Sold for $63,000 in buyer behavior. Factory paint, original interiors, books, tools, https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-porsche-911-carrera-coupe-45/ ownership history, and documented originality are a reason for buyers to pay substantial premiums.

Collectors have created a value segment for special colors, manual transmissions, low-production variants, exceptional documentation, and highly original condition, regardless of the generation. Rarity, provenance, originality, and opportunity to own “the one” remains an explanation for why some Porsches sell for twice what they should.

Maverick PCA Celebrates Sponsors in Style The Maverick Region Porsche Club of America is fortunate to enjoy the support of an outstanding group of sponsors and advertisers whose contributions help make our events, programs, and publications possible throughout the year. To recognize and thank these valued partners, the Executive Committee and Sponsor Chair Christopher Cole hosted a special Sponsor Thank You Party on May 9th at the prestigious Prestonwood Polo & Country Club in Oak Point, Texas.

The event coincided with the Texan Concours, Supercars Showcase & Polo Cup, creating a memorable day that combined automotive excellence with one of the world’s oldest and most elegant sports. Sponsors and Slipstream advertisers joined members of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors as special guests for an afternoon of luxury automobiles, polo, and fellowship.

Maverick members and sponsors displayed their Porsches among an impressive collection of exotic and specialty vehicles, and the beautiful Prestonwood grounds provided the perfect backdrop for a gathering that celebrated both horsepower and heritage, as attendees gathered near the Prestonwood Pavilion with its shade and field-side vantage point where guests enjoyed lively conversation while watching the polo matches unfold.

The day began with the Concours Polo Match, followed by one of polo’s most beloved traditions—the Champagne Divot Stomp.

During halftime, guests stepped onto the field to help replace and stamp down divots created by the polo ponies’ hooves while enjoying a glass of champagne and the unique atmosphere of the Sport of Kings. The excitement continued with the featured Texan Polo Cup Match, where skilled riders and their horses demonstrated the speed, strategy, and athleticism that make polo such a captivating sport. Many attendees were experiencing live polo for the first time and enjoyed the close-up action and thundering pace of the competition.

Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge Update

Work continues on Park Place Porsche’s entry for the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge. In June 2024, we were presented with a narrow body 1988 Carrera Cabriolet in Guards Red that had been converted to a Slant Nose Turbo. The car had been stripped down to a shell to begin a complete restoration, with the goal of competing in the Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge.

Like many frame-off, nut-and-bolt restorations, the crew was presented with many challenges and surprises. Locating obsolete parts became an obsession, as Park Place employees searched for parts that appeared suddenly on inventory lists when dealerships cleared shelves and closets, and items that could not be found had to be custommade. Finding each part and ensuring that custom pieces are made and fit correctly continues to be a challenge.

While waiting on those items to be discovered, the tub, each body panel, and a carbon fiber removable hard top that was imported from France were sent to the body and paint shop. The tub had an application of Würth rock guard before everything received two coats of Porsche Grand Prix White paint (Glasurit 100 by BASF) and two coats of clear. Lots of sanding and preparation ensured a mirror-like finish. Each piece was hung or laid out to cure in Park Place’s expansive shop. With their new gleaming paint, the panels looked like freshly laundered linens drying in the sun.

After the remaining items are located, the panels will be reassembled, and the engine, updated suspension and electronics, wiring harness, and interior will be reunited with the chassis. I am looking forward to seeing it all come together when Park Place unveils it.

Le Auto Grange

Le Auto Grange Event Recap 411 - that was the phone number to dial for Directory Assistance back in the days before cell phones. The voice on the other end would answer, “Information.” Information about Porsches and Porsche history was the plat du jour at Lunch With Legends, which was held on April 11.

The event took place in the Hibbs family’s private garage, known as Le Auto Grange. As attendees approached it, they were greeted with two hors d’oevres: a 1966 Mark 1 GT 40 and a 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe Z06 “Tanker.” Entering the garage through a tunnel that opened into an expansive room designed to look like a French barn, they found themselves among other equally remarkable cars. For the PCA members, the highlight was the 1968 908K raced by “Quick Vic” Elford.

That car toured through Colorado last summer as part of the Piëch to Peak tour (see Slipstream – Jan/Feb ’26 and Mar/Apr ’26). The tour’s organizer, Cam Ingram, owner of Road Scholars, and Jeff Zwart, automotive media empresario, also took part in the event, in addition to Don Yount, Maverick Region member and gentleman racer. Each made presentations regarding their careers and involvement with automobiles and Porsches.

Jeff Zwart

Following a presentation by Tyler Junior College (TJC) President Juan Mejia, staff, and students about the automotive technology program, Don Yount recapped his racing career, beginning in the SCCA and progressing to earn a racing license as an FIA Bronze Level driver. Drivers at this level are very accomplished amateur drivers, joining a team when openings occur, and sometimes bringing sponsors to the program. He has raced in nearly every major sports car competition of note, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and he has earned many podiums. This January, he was part of the team that won the GTX class at the Michelin 24H Dubai, which followed his identical victory in that race in 2025. Don also participated in the historic race dear to PCA members, having lent its name to several Porsche models: La Carrera Panamericana. Don’s exploits haven’t always been as successful, and he shared photos and stories of several crashes, including one in which he crashed through the roof of a house during La Carrera.

Following Don, Cam Ingram gave an overview of his company, Road Scholars, which is one of, if not the, premier restorer of historic cars in the world, having prepared cars that took honors at Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, and Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy. In addition to museum-grade restorations, Road Scholars offers custom builds, service, sales, and adventures, 34

all at the highest level in their category. That is due to extensive research, often travelling across the globe to review primary sources, and using traditional materials and craftsmanship in their builds. They take great care in documenting the provenance of the extraordinary cars that pass through their workshops. Their adventure program is the most recent line of business. In addition to road tours, like Piëch to Peak, the RS Roundup Off-Road Safari has become a hit. Taking place among the red rock canyons of the Southwest associated with the art of Frederic Remington and John Ford western movies, participants enjoy the scenery in a different type of horsepower: 911s modified accordingly. While many in attendance may have been familiar with these facets of Road Scholars and Cam Ingram, they also learned he was an accomplished race driver in his own right, garnering multiple victories at the Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb.

The last presenter was Jeff Zwart, whose list of accolades and accomplishments is lengthy. Jeff began his career as an automotive photographer and quickly gained a reputation for taking “the shot.” Growing into film and video, he shared some of the most memorable Porsche commercials produced by his company, Radical Media. Shortly after purchasing his first car, a 914-6, in 1972, he competed in rally-style racing, often taking top honors. Having won the Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb so many times, including setting course records, he has been dubbed the “Mayor of Pike’s Peak.” He is also a principal in Luftgekuhlt and had a captivating presentation of his career.

Porsche 963 ready for scrutineering

Porsche Penske, the 963, and the Never-Ending BoP Debate When Porsche Motorsport strategist Urs Kuratle visited Maverick Region last year for our Meet the Driver event, he spent the evening speaking openly about a wide variety of subjects. But there was one topic where the conversation noticeably changed: Balance of Performance, or BoP. The moment the discussion turned toward the BoP decisions made by IMSA, the sanctioning body for North America's premier sports car racing championship, the previously relaxed and candid Kuratle suddenly became far more careful with his words.

Answers became shorter. Smiles became more diplomatic. There was a clear sense that he was trying very hard not to say too much.

That reaction probably told us everything we needed to know.

In modern sports car racing, Balance of Performance has become one of the most controversial subjects in the paddock. Teams complain about it privately but rarely publicly. Drivers dance around the topic in interviews. Manufacturers appear reluctant to criticize the process too openly, likely for fear of alienating IMSA. So, what exactly is BoP? In simple terms, it's IMSA's way of keeping very different race cars competitive with one another. In the top-tier GTP class, Porsche, Acura, Cadillac, and BMW all field cars with unique chassis, engines, aerodynamics, and vehicle dynamics. Without some type of balancing system, one manufacturer could potentially dominate the series.

So, IMSA adjusts things.

That can include minimum weight, power curves, and energy deployment limits. The goal isn't to make the cars identical, but rather to keep multiple manufacturers competitive enough that the racing stays close.

Ahead of Laguna Seca, several Porsche drivers demonstrated that same careful balancing act in media interviews. The timing was particularly interesting because Porsche Penske Motorsport had just won Daytona and Sebring, prompting IMSA to issue significant BoP adjustments intended to tighten the field and give rival manufacturers a better opportunity to compete.

Asked about the adjustments, Porsche drivers remained polite and measured. Nobody openly criticized IMSA, but nobody sounded especially enthusiastic, either. The message was consistent: the team would adapt, focus on execution, and move on.

In today's prototype racing world, publicly criticizing BoP appears to be one of the few unwritten rules everyone understands.

This season, much of the BoP debate has centered on the Porsche 963 fielded by Porsche Penske Motorsport.

The combination of Porsche engineering, Penske execution, and what many consider the strongest overall operation in GTP competition has established the team as the benchmark everyone else is chasing.

Still, success comes with consequences in a BoP-regulated championship.

After Porsche's early-season success, IMSA began dialing the factory 963s back with increased weight and reduced power output. Before Long Beach, the Penske-run cars received a particularly significant adjustment that made them the heaviest GTP entries on the grid.

Naturally, Porsche fans weren't pleased.

One of the more interesting developments, however, was that IMSA treated the customer Porsche entries differently from the factory Penske cars. The JDC-Miller Porsche 963 operated under a more favorable BoP configuration, suggesting IMSA may have been targeting the dominant Penske operation more than the 963 platform itself.

That distinction became even more interesting when the JDC-Miller 963 captured an outright victory at Laguna Seca.

Not surprisingly, IMSA responded before Detroit with additional adjustments to both the factory Porsche Penske and customer JDC-Miller entries. The factory 963s returned to the series-high 1,100 kg minimum weight, while the Laguna-winning JDC car also received additional ballast. At the same time, IMSA made offsetting power adjustments, illustrating just how complicated— and controversial—the BoP process has become.

Regardless of where you stand on the BoP debate, it's difficult not to admire what Porsche Penske has accomplished with the 963 program. When the rulemakers start building Balance of Performance adjustments around your race car, that usually means you're doing something very right.

MOST VALUABLE MAVERICK

JULY - AUGUST 2026

RAUL PEÑA

Recognized by Rishi Burke

For this issue, we recognize Raul Peña as Most Valuable Maverick. Raul resides on the west side of the Region in Fort Worth, and he has been an advocate for more events in that sector. Along with Chris Chilton and Paul Moseley, Raul created FoWoPoCo (see the article on pg. 21). The Maverick Region will start a mirror Mavs & Mochas that will also be held on the second Saturday in different locations around the western sector of the Metroplex. Other great events in the area include the Holiday Donation to Lena Pope for those who are in need, which is a wonderful opportunity for our members to get involved with the community and help those less fortunate. Raul often plans great group drives followed by lunch.

Raul Peña

Raul currently owns six Porsches, ranging from Boxster to 911 and Macan, so we never know which car he will show up in. Raul and his wife, Lisa, are popular members, always welcoming to others, and have made friends outside our Region when participating at Palooza, Parade, Treffen, and more. In addition, the Peñas spend much of the year at their second home in Santa Fe, New Mexico and are equally popular among the members of the Roadrunner Region.

Lena Pope Graduates

Portrait of Mrs. Lena Pope

Graduation Interview

MavsCare Welcomes Lena Pope Into Its Charity Program Lena Pope is a nearly 100-year-old nonprofit serving North Texas children and families since 1930 when its founder, Mrs. Lena Holston Pope, began providing homes for children and families affected by the Great Depression.

Because of her devotion and service to children, “Mom” Pope, as she was affectionately called, became the first woman to receive the Fort Worth Exchange Club’s Golden Deeds award in 1946. She was named Outstanding Citizen in Fort Worth in 1964 and Baptist Mother of the Year in 1967. In 1970, four years after her autobiography, A Hand on My Shoulder, was published, the Lena Pope organization had housed more than 10,000 children.

Since the beginning, Lena Pope identified the needs of local children and delivered effective services to meet those needs. Early on, residential homes, including foster care, were the necessary solution. As the needs of children and families changed, so did Lena Pope’s solutions. “For the last 30 years, we have developed programming that focuses on prevention and early intervention services.

Our mission is to equip children, families, caregivers, and community with a strong foundation through counseling, education, and behavior interventions,” shared Ashley Barnes, Ph.D., Lena Pope CEO. “Lena Pope follows a North Star using evidence-based, research-tested programs to support our community when it matters the most, and the most is at risk. These are real people doing real work, meeting the reality of an evolving, complex community health landscape. Their mission-first philosophy transcends their programs and is palpable - it's

who they are, and they need our support,” shared Jacob Luna, Lena Pope’s Maverick Charity Liaison.

Offering care for families throughout life’s most impactful moments, Lena Pope operates two nationally accredited (NAEYC) Early Learning Centers for children ages six weeks to five years old; provides counseling services for individuals ages three and up, with highly trained clinicians providing play therapy, trauma-informed care, EMDR, and many other specialties; and offers programs for youth and their families who require guidance through juvenile justice services. Additionally, Lena Pope offers event services and community education to equip families with tools for success. Flexible payment options ensure everyone has access to services, regardless of their ability to pay.

Lena Pope has numerous volunteer opportunities with recurring, one-time, weekday or weekend placements.

Voted Best Place for Working Parents and Best Companies to Work for in Fort Worth, volunteers help to shape a rich culture of excellence that is amplified within our community.

“We are thrilled to be a charity partner with Mavs Care.

This past December your members were so generous during our holiday program bringing toys, gift cards, and joy to clients served by Lena Pope. I cannot wait to see what we can accomplish together this year. We invite all members to visit Lena Pope’s campus to see our mission in action” said Keegan Hand, Chief Development Officer.

Tour to ECR

Tour to Eagles Canyon Raceway Recap The Maverick Region held a very fun tour event on Sunday, May 17. The Eagles Canyon Tour started at the Aubrey Middle School and wove its way through northeast Denton County across FM455 West through Slidell, arriving at Eagles Canyon Raceway. The 44 beautiful Porsches carrying 70 people arrived at ECR around 11:00 am, and folks enjoyed watching some great Club Racing competition for about an hour. At Noon, the group drove on the track for a series of Parade Laps around the beautiful 2.7-mile/15-turn layout.

This tour also marked the first time we used a new onsite check-in system called TourCheckAgent, which was developed by Maverick member Anjan Shenoy. This web-based program will make it easier and quicker for Tour leaders to check everyone in on the day of the tour, and it also automatically adjusts the size of each tour group (Modern and Touring), keeping their sizes consistent. This will alleviate some issues that took place during check-in at the recent All Member Tour, which had over 150 cars participating. This is only for onsite check-in on the day of the event; Mavericks will still use ClubReg to register for the event.

Thanks to all Tour Group members, volunteers, Club Racers, and Driver Education groups for helping out with this great event. Lots of donations were collected for Wipe Out Kids Cancer, showing the generosity for a great cause that for which our club is known.
