Taycan. Rhymes with icon.

Still life in the car world. photo by Melissa Tuason

With life getting back in motion, now is the perfect time to discover a classic in the making: Taycan. It’s the first all-electric Porsche sports car, with two permanent-magnet synchronous motors generating up to 750 hp and acceleration faster than a skydiver in free fall. Plus, an 800-volt battery that can be partially recharged to add up to 62 miles of range in just over five minutes. And at Park Place, this new Porsche icon comes with a total commitment to sanitation, safety and comfort every time you visit the dealership.

FEATURES

That’s what makes Park Place feel like Your Place.

Board Botschaft: Virtually New for 2021

by Bill Kruder, Region President I don’t know about you, but I didn’t think 2020 was ever going to end. But with a great sigh we can say we made it. In looking back on it now, you might say it was an interesting year. Maybe even a fun year with much reimagined and many firsts.

Who would have thought we would have our first virtual Mavs & Mochas? We enjoyed not one but two virtual Happy Hours. We had two innovative Tech Sessions, the last of which was broadcast live via Facebook. Board meetings - we didn’t miss a beat, having simultaneous inperson and virtual meetings, moving to all-virtual as the year came to a close.

As the pandemic continued, ideas on the future began to unfold. Slipstream, your award-winning newsletter, will take on a new look, going to bimonthly publication in addition to a new robust online magazine in the spring of 2021.

Events that once required paperwork went paperless. A great example is our Rallies. Ginger and Tom Heuerman re-imagined how they are done and created a completely paperless event creating a new format with even more fun!

How about Founders Day? I can’t imagine a better way we could have ended the year! Who would have ever thought it would be an afternoon and outdoor event; more about that on pages 8-9.

Our Concours Chair, Scott Kellogg, had to postpone until 2021 what will be the biggest and best show ever seen. But in the meantime, he pulled off our People’s Choice show at the Founders Day Family Affair, not only voting by classes this year, but also going paperless and using our phones to scan and self-tabulate the winners; more about that on page 14.

Membership, which sputtered early on, began to come back, and we are again averaging 25-30 new members a month, and as of this writing we will have over 300 new

We Buy, Sell, and Consign Quality Pre-owned Porsches

The Independent Porsche Specialist faces to drive friendships with.

And yes, we had our annual election of officers too, and I thank you for once again allowing me to be President for one more year; more about the election results on page 29.

So as we begin to think about 2021 we will continue to keep the safety of our members as priority one. I thank you for your patience and your kindness as we look forward to another great year.

My wife Debi and I are honored to serve you and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Notes from our Zone Rep

by Chuck Bush, Zone 5 Representative One of the fun things about the Porsche Club is the wide diversity of our members’ interests. Some folks are in the club for the social aspects, some for the wonderful Porsche Panorama magazine, some for the motorsports, and every other possible reason.

As the Zone Rep I spend quite a bit of time at PCA Club Races, but I am really not in PCA for racing.

I have great respect for the racers and I really enjoy going to Club Races, but spending a lot of time on the track is not something that 2 January

motivates me. I am motivated by the maintenance and restoration aspects of Porsche ownership.

Sometimes I wonder if I enjoy being under a car more than being in one!

Regardless, I still do quite a bit of autocross and on-track drivers’ education because I enjoy challenging myself to be a better driver. As I drive around our city, I have come to appreciate the road handling skills that have gradually sunk in from autocross and DE. These skills make me a much more proactive driver as well as

improving my ability to handle the car in unexpected situations.

So whatever your reason for belonging to PCA, consider taking advantage of the drivers training offered by your region. You might be surprised at how it can make you a better driver and how much safer and more comfortable you’ll feel on the road. Practice makes perfect, and as much as we drive, practicing in the controlled environment of an autocross or DE can do you a world of good.

Be safe out there!

Founders Day Mavs & Mochas: Nordstrom NorthPark

by Rob Turner During COVID there are moments where you just want to break free, even if just for a few hours to remind ourselves collectively what it was like before “The New Normal” set in. A lot of events have been postponed or restructured during COVID. Even our Founders Day was rescheduled. But fear not, faithful Mavs. We are, if nothing else, intrepid in our quest to drive our beloved P-Cars.

For this year, our annual Maverick Region Founders Day has been expanded to - count ‘em - four events.

Kicking things off was the monthly Mavs & Mochas, then a toy drive up to the Plano Police department, then on to Grapevine Porsche for both The People’s Choice Concours and the Family Affair luncheon.

MAVERICK REGION

FOUNDERS DAY 2020

four events , one great time

6 January

photos provided by Paul Moseley, Scott Scheetz & Melissa Tuason One of the things that struck me was all the new people that I met. Usually I spend time talking to a bunch of folks I know, but I never got the chance. I met a couple that had just moved from Orange County, CA to the DFW area; another who had been a member for a while, but this M&M was his first event driving a sick (meaning way cool) Lime Gold 997; and a friend of mine whom I finally convinced to both join PCA and start coming out to M&M events. And he brought his kids along too. Quote of the day: “Look dad, that car has four engines just like yours,” said my friend’s son as he pointed to a nearby 991 with quad exhaust. See, he is already learning what makes a car go fast!

See you all next month at the next M&M.

Mavs & Mochas, or as the cool kids like to call it, M&M, started things off at Nordstrom NorthPark, special thanks to Clark and Vanessa.

There was just a hint of chill in the air as cars started rolling in about 8:00 am. But things soon heated up - not the temperature so much as a large gathering of Turbos. The Porsche 911 Turbo, in all its guises, was the featured car. Of the 150 cars that attended, 27 were Turbos, or almost 20% of all the cars gathered. Not bad, Turbo folks!

Founders Day: Family Affair

by Debi Kruder, Special Events Chair

Who would have thought we could end such a challenging 2020 with one of our biggest celebrations ever with fellow Mavericks and their families joining us at Porsche Grapevine for the first ever Founders Day Family Affair? Saturday, December 5th included four great events: Mavs & Mochas, Mav’s Toy Drive, the People’s Choice Car Show, and the Founders Day Family Affair celebrating the Maverick Region’s 58th Anniversary!

Did somebody count 308 INN-OUT burgers? Yes, that is what our more than 350 attendees ate in addition to 100 Twerk City Tacos, and 181 Pizzeria Testa wood fired pizzas. You could say we were a hungry crew! Many thanks to our participating vendors who catered us even “animal style!” And for those a little thirsty, Monkey Shoulder Whiskey spoiled us with give-a-ways including t-shirts, mugs, socks and more with their refreshing cocktails not to mention Manhattan Project Beer Company with their amazing craft brew. That coupled with 110 Sangrias and 175 Margaritas ensured everyone had a good time!

photos provided by Paul Moseley, Scott Scheetz & Peter Wen What was the show stopper?

Hard to say! Many were in awe of the big 18-wheeler IN-N-OUT Cookout Truck with its multiple canopies and as my son Conor said, “it was the best IN-N-OUT burger I’ve ever had!” Next, Chris and Kris Fernandes drove in with their ‘67 Hippie VW Bus with great tunes to set the stage for fun. Meanwhile, the kids were enjoying games of Maverick Cornhole, some Porsche Autocross, and some Steel City Pops.

Outside the tent, our Mavs were walking among the People’s Choice Car Show with their favorite cocktail, picking up a free cigar from Kristoff Cigars, and well enjoying all the eye candy! Many Mavs stopped me to say it was the best Founders Day ever, loving the casual atmosphere, opportunity for the entire family (we sure enjoyed having ours there!), multiple food and drink selections and well folks, it’s likely to be a 2021 repeat based on all of your feedback! I’m thankful for the good that we can take from 2020, for our fellow Mavericks, and that we continue to drive friendships!

Opposite Page from Top: IN-N-OUT feeds the crowd at the car show and Monkey Shoulder kept us lubricated. Chris Fernandes at the DJ booth kept us entertained and no family outing would be complete without a Hot Wheels race or two. Above: Friends and Porsches definitely go together, especially on a cool sunny day.

Pizzeria Testa, kept the pizzas coming. The Stogner clan had the best seat in the house, unless you asked Linda Bambina rolling out with Alan.

Hope House and the Founders Day Silent Auction

by Debi Kruder, Special Events Chair The Maverick Region is proud to be a partner of the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House since 1993. Hope exists to eliminate domestic violence. Our most significant financial contribution is annually through our Founders Day Event Silent Auction and this year was no different! The auction had 244 bids raising nearly $10,000 for the charity.

What was the #1 purchased Silent Auction Item? More than 50 Farm Road Coffee Mugs are now enjoying some Maverick coffee time each morning.

What was the most active bid on item? The Hot Wheels Collector Starter Kit, set of 9, donated by fellow Maverick Peter Wen and won by our Club Race Registrar and COVID Communications Chair Wendy Shoffit as a birthday gift for her husband James.

Which item raised the highest dollar amount in support of the Hope House? The Tactical Fleet Expel Porsche Bra Front End Clear Bra raised $1,350 won by winning bidder Steve Kennedy raising nearly 15% of our total.

And guess what? That’s not all.

While the auction raised nearly $10,000, we also raise money for the Hope House through our People’s Choice Car Show and online donations. The People’s Choice Car Show Participants all contributed $25 each for a total of $1,850 not to mention our Founders Day DJ Chris Fernandes generously said he would entertain us if the MRPCA contributed $500 to the Hope House. All said, between our generous sponsors, our Silent Auction participants, People’s Choice Car Show participants, and our generous Mavericks the Hope House is receiving nearly $14,000 as a result of the MRPCA Founders Day and Silent Auction! I can think of no better year than this one to contribute generously to the end of domestic violence.

Founders Day People’s Choice Car Show

by Scott Kellogg, Concours Chair

photos by Carl Adee, Bill Beck, Rick Miranda, Paul Moseley & Scott Scheetz

Well we finally had a car show in 2020, and what a show it was! Registration maxed out and yet we still managed to get them onto the show field … well, show parking lot, but field sounds better.

It was a beautiful day once all the cars started rolling in. We introduced our Class judging at this show for the first time to see how it would test out.

Things seemed to go very well, with only a few tweaks for the upcoming Concours in May 2021.

I would like to send out special thanks to Scott Kerfoot for his help in setting up the mobile voting for everyone. He did an outstanding job and I truly do appreciate all his help, as well as the help of Landon Stogner and all the Maverick volunteers!

Opposite Page from Top: “The Skittles” as they were known, stopped the show and were the subjects of more than a few photos as you’ll see this month. Jason Morski and wife Carrie were double winners taking home not only the new Outlaw trophy, but also the President’s choice trophy for their 1976 911S. Carl Adee with daughter Olivia enjoy Founders Day Family Affair. Above: Jim Mango puts the finishing touches on Kermit

Founders Day Toy Parade

by Paul Moseley, Photography Chair

photos provided by Bob Molyneux & Paul Moseley

A very important part of the Maverick Region Porsche Club of America’s Founders Day observation is the annual Mavs Toy Drive that benefits The Plano Police Christmas Cops. An estimated 100 Porsches participated collecting nearly $1800 in gift cards and over 500 toys, clothes, and other essentials. Drive leader Glenn Burgess and his wife Pier accepted a plaque from Plano Police Lt. Alicia Nors at the department. As Maverick tradition, Ginger Heuerman was there too with her annual handmade bears made with love . The participation by Mav members helps those in need, both children as well as adult family members, during the holiday season. Good on ya Mavs!

Autocross Series: Event 10, Lone Star Park, Nov 8

by Mark Schnoerr, Region Autocross Chair

photos by Robert Kirby of Lightspeed Images

Equipe Rapide (Maverick Region’s autocross partner) President Andy Cost designed a very challenging course combining acute turns, decreasing radius turns, high speed sections, and a very fast finish. The event pulled in 123 entries, 19 of whom drove Porsches, with a total of 738 timed runs for the day. Since this was a charity event for Guns and Hoses, the Police and Firefighter Foundation, Maverick PCA donated $1000.00, with Equipe Rapide donating another $5,000.00. Participants could “buy back” any cone penalties for $5.00 per cone, thus improving their scores; all participants donated their PAX award payouts; and the Guns and Hoses Team set up their swag store, selling burgers, drinks, and chips, to do very well for the organization we are supporting. Thank you all for your contributions.

Since this was the last event of the season, some class championships were on the line, which we can report Maverick 914’s ready for war at the last autocross for 2020 on after the Awards Banquet takes place this month.

Cab, and newcomer Craig Sims, 2010 Boxster, also turning Igor Tulandin again showed us how quick a Cayenne in respectable times.

James brought his wife to and -GT4 group at this event. Calvin Yeh, along with Steve drive her Audi A5 in class DSL, where she improved her time and Sherry Farnham, came in 2nd to 4th respectively. each run, and is going to be another quick driver next season.

Ed Mayo and Julia Underwood brought their the beautiful red 914-GT 4.0 of Clay Perrine.

Maverick Marktpreis is proudly sponsored by:

Maverick Marktpreis: 911 Turbo

by Peter Wen, Region Merchandise Chair Turbo: noun - A method of forced induction that uses exhaust gasses to turn a turbine, to force more air into the engine.

Jeremy Clarkson’s translation: “POWERRRRR!” Introduced as a 1975 model at the Paris Auto Show, the 930 Turbo could do 0-60 in less than five seconds, completely blowing away all contenders in that era, including Ferrari’s time of eight seconds! Forty-five Year

Type

Change -22.12% -10.69% -7.44% 16.44% -4.59%

years later, “Turbo” remains the flagship for Porsche.

The last three years have not been kind to air-cooled Turbos. The OG 930 led the way with a valuation drop of 22%. On the other hand, the often-overlooked 996 gen Turbo had an impressive 16% gain. The Goldilocks 997 gen is now near the bottom of its depreciation curve.

Turbos are the pinnacle of Porsche engineering and opulence. Happy 45th birthday, 911 Turbo!

Average Price across all Conditions (k) $121.0 $123.0 $138.0 $39.5 $49.0

Fun Fact: The new 2020 992 Turbo S boasts 640 HP and a 2.6-sec 0-60 time.

Starting price is $203,500. For the same price, you could buy a base 911 coupe and a pair of Macans (his and hers).

And you would still have $100 leftover for a nice celebratory dinner.

Coffee, Cars & Conversation

by Bill Kruder, Region President What a year 2020 was! It’s nice to be able to say 2021 is here at last.

To start the New Year I wanted to share with you what may be the busiest club volunteer we have. You all know his work as our Editor, but a lot of you don’t know before that he was our club ad designer.

Not only did he do that, but he is also credited with taking our crazy idea of making a “brand” out of our coffee meets. We gave him the name Mavericks and Mochas and a few days later he said “I have an idea: do you like ‘Mavs & Mochas?’” Well of course we did, and with that you see this brand image on coffee mugs, tee shirts, window stickers, our tent, and more; in my marketing days we called this “synergy.”

Not only is he busy creating our award-winning magazine - you will often catch him out at many events. I’m proud to call this guy my friend and a great “partner in crime” as we say.

So here is the next in my series of “conversations” I would like to share with you . . .

Kurt Scaggs, Member since 2013 1986 944 Turbo and 1987 Carrera Bill Kruder: Let’s start off with the usual. Where are you from?

Kurt Scaggs: Well I was born in Houston, but we moved when I was two to Slidell, Louisiana, which is off the northeast shore of Lake Pontchartrain, or about 45 minutes northeast of New Orleans.

I graduated from North Shore High School in 1991.

BK: What about college - did you stay in-state?

KS: Nope, I didn’t, for a couple reasons. One, it seemed everyone from high school was going to LSU 20 January

photos provided by Kurt Scaggs

and I really didn’t want to just spend another four years with the same group of people. And secondly, my dad took me to a Texas Tech game and we sat with the band, and I guess that sold me. Well there is actually a bit more to it. My dad and mom both are Tech grads; matter of fact my grandmother is too, so maybe that had some influence on my decision (smiling).

KS: Oh no! I was a Fine Arts major getting my degree in Design Communication and Packaging Design.

BK: So that’s what you do now?

KS: It is. I’m one of very few people I know that do precisely what they studied in undergrad. I started out designing product packaging for H-E-B Grocery when we lived in San Antonio and have remained in that business every since. I now run my own design business specializing in retail food packaging.

BK: So how did you and Melissa meet?

KS: We were both in the same church youth group. We knew each other but we did not start dating until I was a senior in high school (she was a junior).

Kurt and Melissa Scaggs with son Wilson

BK: Wait a second - most people visit a college but they don’t go to a game and sit with the band?

KS: I know right? Sounds kind of geeky (laughing) but the story behind that is that I was in my high school band, and then on top of it, the band instructor at Tech was best friends with my dad and insisted we sit with them.

BK: Wow! So a year later you go off to Tech, which is some 16 hours away?

KS: I know, right? Then, when she did graduate, she went off to UT in Austin for her first year before transferring to Tech.

Once graduating, we moved to San Antonio so that she could attend UT Dental School.

BK: So how did you two end up in Dallas?

KS: Once she finished in San Antonio

BK: So you played in the marching band?

KS: Yes I did. I was a trombone player. I started in middle school, played in high school, and in my dad’s footsteps played for the 450 member “Goin’ Band from Raiderland”.

BK: So did you get a music degree?

Kurt and his parents at an Alumni Band event at Tech

she did a one-year residency at Baylor College of Dentistry of Dallas before setting up practice in the area. And with my work I could more or less work anywhere.

BK: What was your first Porsche?

KS: That would be the Guards Red ‘87. We bought that in 2013 shortly after Wilson was born.

BK: So how long have you been married?

KS: We dated for 6 years, got married in 1997, and had Wilson in 2012.

BK: Ahhh yes, Wilson, love the name. Where did it come from?

KS: That was Melissa’s grandfather’s middle name and we thought it would cool to keep the name in the family. An added benefit is that he rarely gets confused with anyone else.

BK: Now let’s switch subjects to cars.

What was your first?

KS: My first car my dad brought home for me was an ‘85 Honda Accord hatchback. I think it had less than 100 horsepower, and when I was given the keys, I was encouraged to keep in under 3,000 RPM’s for the sake of the engine. Not a chance. Then I had an equally high performance ‘89 Accord, white with burgundy. It had those cool pop-up headlights.

Although Wilson currently prefers Mustangs, he never turns down a ride

BK: So why Porsche?

KS: Like so many boys when I was growing up I’d built model cars matter of fact at the time my favorite was the 993. Hours of pouring through my Dad’s car magazines helped drive the dream.

BK: So what made you finally buy one?

KS: I was at a Classic BMW Cars & Coffee and I saw a 1969 Tangerine 911 and I started talking to this guy - he had this long hair, a beard, sounds kind of tough (smiling) and he told me everything I wanted to know about the cars down to the best model to get into.

After some time in the club I met Bob Aines again for the first time. Bob is a local legend for those who don’t know him and I credit him with passing on the Porsche passion.

E AT DRINK REPEAT WEEKDAYS 7AM-3PM WEEKENDS 8AM-3PM WWW.NESTCAFE.NET 7777 WARREN PARKWAY STE 325, FRISCO, TX

BK: Where did you find the car?

I started KS: looking online and found this one in Stow, Massachusetts

which is right outside of Boston. I bought it sight unseen after a PPI and a subsequent conversation with the fine folks at Mayo Performance. The car rolled out of the transporter and found its way to Bedford for some maintenance shortly thereafter and it’s been love ever since.

BK: Now I know a bit about the 944, as you bought that from our mutual friend?

KS: Yes I did. In high school the 944 Turbo was the car in my daydreams. I started poking around, and Jim Hirsch mentioned he was looking to sell his. Anyone who knows Jim knows how particular he is, so I knew I was getting a great car. I purchased the car in late summer of 2018 and proceeded to drive it out to Rennsport VI at Laguna Seca a few weeks later. Not only did I caravan out with some fellow Mavs, I was able to do parade laps on the legendary track. Another childhood dream checked off the list.

BK: Lastly, how did you, or why did you, get so involved in the club?

KS: As soon as we had bought the ‘87 we joined the club and started to attend some events. We also started getting Slipstream. I saw an ad asking for volunteers and decided why not jump in. I met with Jim, then editor, he sold me and the rest as they say is history. Looking back, it’s the best thing I could have done, though I will say I never thought I would be Editor of the club magazine.

BK: Interesting! That darn Jim Hirsch did the same to me (laughing).

Well there you have it: as of this writing, Kurt Douglas Scaggs not only is the best Editor, but he is the recent recipient of the James Shoffit Maverick of the Year Award for his continued volunteer work for our club. See page 14 for more on this award.

I’m proud to say Kurt and I have been driving our friendship since 2013.

Mavs and Mochas: Granbury, Texas, November 14

Maverick Region Executive Board Election 2021

Maverick of the Year: Kurt Scaggs

by Carey Spreen, Region Vice President

Since 1976, the Maverick Region President has named a person (and sometimes a couple of people) as having made outstanding contributions to the region, as well as inspiring others to do the same, during the past year.

This trophy was called the Richard F. Selcer Memorial Award for Superior Performance and Dedication until its retirement in 2017, at which time it was

photo provided by Scott Scheetz

replaced by the James Shoffit Maverick of the Year Award.

At the 2020 Founders Day event, which took place at Porsche Grapevine on Saturday, December 5, the Maverick of the Year award went to Kurt Scaggs, the Managing Editor of Slipstream, Maverick Region’s monthly magazine.

Kurt, a member of Maverick Region since 2013, first joined the Slipstream staff in January 2017 as the Event Ad Designer, where he designed and produced the print and web ads for our upcoming events. When then-Editor Jim Hirsch made plans to step down in at the end of 2017, he had already recognized Kurt’s abilities as a graphic designer, and was able to convince Kurt to take over the reins at Slipstream. The transition and hand-off of the Managing Editor position usually takes time, but by April

of 2018, Kurt was already at the helm, continuing in his Event Ad Design role until he could find a replacement.

Since that time, Kurt has made many improvements to Slipstream, and has won two National awards for it: first place in Class VI (regions with 1,650 or more members) in 2018 (awarded at the 2019 Porsche Parade), and second place in 2019 (awarded on-line this year).

And of course, during the pandemic, most of our events went on hiatus, but not Slipstream – Kurt continued to put together a 36-page issue every month. He has also been working on a wholesale revamp of Slipstream to allow it to be published to the mavpca. org website every month, while still publishing a print version every two months. This will save Maverick Region a large amount in printing and mailing costs.

Please join us in congratulating Kurt Scaggs as the 2020 Maverick of the Year!

by Carey Spreen, Region Vice President Per Maverick Region’s bylaws (https://www.mavpca.org/ about/bod/bylaws/), a three-person nominating committee consisting of Jim Hirsch (Chair), Mike O’Hare, and Mike Mahoney provided a list of candidates for the four Executive Board positions, as follows:

President: Bill Kruder (incumbent)

Vice President: Carey Spreen (incumbent)

Mail-in ballots were available in Slipstream, and were accepted until December 1, 2020. An in-person election, open to all primary and affiliate members of Maverick Region, was held at the Founders’ Day celebration on December 5. The mail-in and in-person ballots were counted at Founders’ Day as well, with the official result that all four candidates were voted in unanimously for 2021.

I’m sure I speak for the Executive Board by saying thank you to all who voted, and that we look forward to serving Maverick Region in 2021, which we hope will be a return to a more “normal” (i.e. pre-pandemic) year of events for all of us!

Hope Christmas 2020 As expected, Hope Shelter Christmas 2020 was – by necessity – a bit different. The usual big party at the nearby church community center had to be cancelled. What to do??

Get creative – that’s what to do!

So – on December 9th, some of Santa’s ‘elves’ went shopping, with lists in hand, to fulfill the wishes of kids being served by the Shelter that otherwise would wake up to an empty tree. With much dashing and dodging and ‘where would they hide this thing?’, the ‘elves’

completed their mission – and the dash to a Hope Christmas was underway!

photo provided by author From the 9th to the 12th, more ‘elves’ boxed, bagged, stuffed, wrapped, and otherwise packed dolls, trucks, scooters, and other toys and goodies of all shapes, sizes, and colors – until an entire office was nearly full of multicolored packages, waiting for the big day!

Then – with great anticipation – on Saturday the 12th, as arranged, Santa in all his red and white finery, made an early appearance in Mineral Wells, just to deliver all those goodies to some very special kids! As quickly as he’d appeared, Santa – needing to fulfill the wishes of other boys and girls – said his goodbyes, wished everyone a Merry Christmas, and disappeared – off to bring the magic of Christmas to many others.

The Maverick Region has had Hope Charities in Mineral Wells as its regular charity for over 25 years now.

The Shelter provides a safe haven for victims of domestic abuse as well as counseling, legal services, a food and clothing pantry, connections to medical

services and children’s aid services, and many other forms of assistance. It serves the five county area just west of Fort Worth, but has provided services to those in need from the DFW area and as far away as the West Coast when no other facility could help.

Each year, Maverick Region via primarily Founders Day events and the Silent Auction provides substantial financial assistance to Hope. This year especially, with Hope not being able to hold its usual summer fundraisers, our assistance filled a critical need in their programming. Maverick Region gave to Hope a little over $15,600.00 that will keep their programs of providing safe haven for those most in need alive and well for another year.

We couldn’t do it without all of YOU!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

If you’d like more information about Hope Inc., and the Region’s involvement with them, please contact the Charity Chair, Jim Gallegos.

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!
