Drifting
Mike Brodigan, President
ason (my son) and I had it all
planned out: It would be "prevent
JSaturday." Let's see, 6 quarts of
oil and filter - check. New rotors and
brake pads - check. Points and distributor
cap - check. You get the idea. Saturday
was going to be the day we did all the
preventative maintenance on the track
car we share for Driver's Education events in September
and October. The problem is we never have successfully
completed our mission. The plain simple truth is we do not
know enough about these "simple" jobs to get it all correct,
and the 4 hours we had planned turned out to be 6 hours. A
new brake line that did not work and a car we had to get on
the trailer without any brakes. Boy was that fun. Anyway,
the shop we took it to just kind of grinned, and said they
would take care of us. (I don't think they meant for free.)
This will all change. Jason and I have taken a vow
that we won't mess with the stuff we know nothing about.
That's where Ed Mullenix comes in. At our monthly May
Board meeting, I mentioned that it was high time we got
going on some tech sessions, and someone to coordinate
them. Ed, and his lovely wife, Donna, were brand new
members attending their first event, and Ed said, "piece
of cake, I will do that job." Wow, was I impressed and
relieved. So, welcome Ed and give him a call and
let him know what you would like to see at a tech
session. Ed: how about a session on replacing brake
rotors?
As I mentioned last month, Parade was a
blast! Wendy has arranged for a "Post Parade Party"
on September 13th at the Love & War in Texas
restaurant in Grapevine. This is for EVERYONE.
Not just us lucky Parade attendees. All the Hardware
our region won will be there, and I think there is a dog
and pony show in the works. Please come and enjoy
the evening with us.
Mav of the Month
Anyone who has been to one of our Driver's
Education events knows this month's Maverick of
the month. She is our cute "Grid Queen," Jan Mayo.
Jan has been in charge of grid since I have been a
member. Her big smile, and sharp eye for safety
issues bring a smile to everyone's face. DE's are a
tiny part of what Jan does for us. She was Editor of
Slipstream and made our newsletter one of the best in
the country. Jan is the national PCA awards chair, she
is a dynamite autocross driver and instructor, and she
has been my closest adviser.I r ~ -4e

Fox in Grapevine is giving Jan dinner for two at their
award winning steak house.2
