The Friction Circle
by John Brandt, President
It has been quite a run the last few weeks with DE, Autocross,
and social events. Our “MORPCAPLATZ” club tent at the
Grand-Am was well received and all who came were impressed
by how much access we get at the races. We were treated to
garage tours from both the Rum-Bum team who switched to
Porsche from BMW this year, and the Brumos operation whose
drivers Andrew Davis and Leh Keen treated our group like old
friends. Many of our troops got to go for rides in the BMW
performance school cars for a drifting exhibition lap- What
a wild ride! Every turn the car is completely sideways! I had
doubts they would stay on the pavement but all did! One thing new that came up at the board meeting is the
announcement of the Rahal car show at Easton on wed Aug 1st
which is the week of the big ALMS and Indy doubleheader at
Mid-Ohio... This show is for the benefit of the Buckeye Ranch
which is a local organization that serves troubled youths. The
show is going to be really interesting- Expect to see only the
most highly significant and collectible racing and sports cars. Our guests, Roy Rushing, gave us a glimpse of a few of the
cars in the show, and let’s just say it was remarkable how many
cars in the semi-local area have Le Mans history. This event
as mentioned is the Wednesday of the Race so the drivers can
attend. A second MORPCAPLATZ is likely in store at the
track since Porsche Cars NA seems not to be inclined to host
PORSCHEPLATZ. I think we can handle it just fine on our own
though!
Nelson Ledges was exciting, too (and for a few of us, too
exciting). We had three perfect days of track driving and
socializing. Porsche of Beachwood provided a fantastic catered
meal for all the participants. The weekend turnout was the
best-ever, and it was great to see so many under a big tent at the
track. Everybody got home safely from Nelson, but one of our
members brought home 98% of a foul-mouthed parrot.
Between all of the fun this spring and summer, I’ve managed
to squeeze in some extra fun at the Kart racing track down in
Circleville with my son, Willy. We go there on non racing days
for fun and seat time. On our third trip or so, he talked me into
renting a kart so that we could run together. I figured it would
be educational for him as a “lead-follow” exercise....Well, guess
who got the education? Simply put, he just drove away from
me. Yes, there a big disparity in weight, and he has a better Kart,
but Willy has absorbed a lot of theory and clearly knows how to
execute it. I appreciated that he was nice enough several times
to slow down and let the old-timer catch up. It is an intense
experience and you need to be thinking way, way ahead to keep
up with what’s happening. No wonder so many pro drivers run
karts to keep themselves in tune. Try it sometime- seriously.
If you have not signed up to attend P2O this year in Granville,
make sure that you get on with it and go! This year’s P2O is
going to be a winner! We are already on track for a record
event and the town of Granville will be a super location. The
layout is going to be a bit more compact than it was in Oxford
which we think will make the party even more festive. The host
hotel is the Cherry Valley lodge, which is big enough to house
practically everyone who comes, and this year we have shuttle
service to and from the event site courtesy of Byers, so you
can get back and forth from the party in town as you wish- or
perhaps allow a significant other to sleep in and arrive in town
after a leisurely morning of swimming or, golf. As you can see, things have definitely Heated Up! So make plans
to come out for some MORPCA activities....See you out there!
I’ll try to bring the parrot to something during my 2% of the
year.
Our Club Race and Driver’s Ed is also coming up soon so make
plans to get to the track August 17th through 19th. The DE is
primarily for advanced drivers, but we are still hoping to find
a way to include an intermediate skill, instructed group in the
mix to allow more of our local club people to have access to this
prime weekend. More details on that later...

It’s not just the cars...
Published Monthly by the
Mid–Ohio Region, Porsche
Club of America
The PCA slogan “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people” became
apparent to me again at the Rolex weekend at Mid-Ohio. At
my usual spot on top of the keyhole on Friday, there was a
gentleman sitting in the same area I was whose shirt had a
Porsche Crest on it. After a while, I said hello & as we got
to talking, I found out his name is Jim Grabowski, and is a
PCA member from Bowling Green in the Maumee Valley
Region. We soon realized we had a lot in common, and
talked the rest of the day (Jim currently has a ‘99 Boxster,
but previously owned a 914 and a 944 turbo). On Saturday,
our region’s VP Mike Stoner joined our little group (by now
it included my wife and Jim’s son). Mike and Jim swapped
Boxster stories & discussed the new Boxster model. Mike
and I invited Jim to “MORPCA Platz” for some shade and
water. While we all lamented that there were no Porsche
powered Daytona Prototypes in the race, it was certainly a
good weekend. It really is “about the people”!

Third Thursday’s New Season
Article & photos by Bill Slone
The 2012 Third Thursday season was
kicked off at the Claddagh Irish Pub. A
perfect May evening greeted over 20 cars
and members. The event started with
everyone parking their freshly polished
cars, caught up with each other about
finished(?) winter projects, and plans for
summer outings. Eventually we moved to
the patio for food and drink, then listened
to the sounds of Darryl Gatlin and his
band. Some of us were even “serenaded”
by the band!
New event sponsor Midwestern Auto
Group was there to help hand out gift
cards and promote the Porsche marque.
As the evening wore down, we all made
plans to attend the June Third Thursday at
Quaker Steak & Lube. This promises to be
a very good season of Third Thursdays!

MORPCA PLATZ at Mid-Ohio
Article & photos by Bill Slone
“MORPCA Platz” pitched
its tent at the Emco Gears
Classic featuring the
GRAND-AM Rolex Sports
Car Series at the Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course. Our tent
provided relief from the early
summer heat and a special
parking area for our cars.
Plenty of needed water was
available and door prizes
were awarded, courtesy of
this year’s sponsor, Byer’s
Imports.
Although the Porsche results
weren’t as planned at the
Grand Prize Winner!

over an hour in the hot sun,
your editor finally got the
final autograph of the driver

2012 Arthritis Foundation Cruise-In & Classic Auto Show
July 6 & 7, 2012
Return to Dublin’s Metro Center as the Central Ohio
Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation invites Porsche drivers
to join them for the 30th Annual Classic Auto Show &
Cruise-In. This year will feature Cadillac celebrating 110
years, 45 years each of the Chevrolet Camaro & Mercury
Cougar. This is central Ohio’s premier car-related event –
attracting more than two thousand display vehicles each
year. This unique
Dublin setting is
perfect for a car show
– with Porsche having
Saturday’s prime
parking area in the
grass, under the trees
by the pond. The
Arthritis Foundation
Show is being
promoted as a multiregion Porsche Club
of America event and
thus we hope to have
numerous entries
from the surrounding
Regions.
The 1st Place winner and the Award of Excellence winners
from each of the 7 classes will be announced and receive
their awards at the Porsche display area by 3:00 p.m. Also
presented at that time will be the Floyd Acton Award -given annually to a MORPCA member who best exemplifies
the spirit of PCA and the friendships it creates. Last year’s
winners Bill Blake will be given a ‘keeper trophy’ as he passes
the real one onto the 2012
recipient. The Best of Show
Porsche award winner will
be announced and presented
from the main stage.
Contact Andy Trux at
andrewtrux@cs.com or Peter
Norman Jr. at quadcam928s@
yahoo.com for further
information. Register online at
www.arthritisautoshow.com. Registration is now open!
The website also has some
great pictures from past years’
auto show. Pre-registration
deadline is June 22nd.. All
pre-registrants will receive a
commemorative present.
On Saturday, July 7h,
you’ll have a full day at the exciting Classic Auto Show, with
47 judged classes of automobiles and vintage motorcycles
on display, special Show-Within-A-Show groups and several
regional events taking place. Rock ‘N’ Roll Oldies will spin
all day long, followed by a fantastic live concert by The Van
Dell’s in the evening!
Plan also to attend the Friday, July 6th Cruise-In, which
has become the largest event of its kind in Ohio. More than
1,200 street rods, muscle cars, vintage cars, European exotics
and other cruisers from the 1920s to the present will make
their appearance. 28-years of tradition will continue with a
presentation of over 100 awesome 6-foot-high trophies to
the Top Cruise-In cars. A huge variety of terrific food will be
available at the concession stands, so plan to come early and
spend the entire day with your family and friends, enjoying
the Phil Dirt and the Dozers concert in the evening!
Saturday morning the gates open from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30
a.m. The Porsche Show-Within-A-Show will take place from
10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Like last year, there is no formal
judging; this will be a ‘Peoples Choice’ show. The registered
participants will be voting on 7 Porsche classes broken
down by the data from prior year’s models and this year’s
pre-registration attendance. We will also have a display only
class.
We invite all of our Porsche drivers, including those not
actively participating in the show, to come out to the Dublin
Metro Center to enjoy plenty of lawn parking in the shade,
great eats and the wonderful fellowship that is always the
hallmark of the Arthritis Foundation’s Classic Auto Show &
Cruise-In.

Annual Putnam Park Driver Education: July 7 – 8, 2012
The Mid-Ohio Region (MORPCA) is hosting its annual driver education (DE) event at Putnam Park Road
Course, Mt. Meridian, Indiana. MORPCA was one of the first clubs to hold a driver education at Putnam
Park.
This year we will have plenty of track time, if necessary we will purchase extra track time to give you the
best value in a DE. Track will go hot at 8am instead of 9am. Putnam is a favorite among racers as well as
beginning drivers. The 1.8 mile long, ten turn road course is an excellent layout. It makes for a terrific
place to begin your high performance driving experience or continue with skill refinement. Our two day
event will include extensive track time as well as class room instruction. PCA instructors will be assigned
to each driver. Dan Clarke, a professional Indy driver, will return again this year to offer personal oneon-one instruction.
We will also offer touring laps at lunch on both Saturday and Sunday. For about 20 minutes you can go
out on the track at touring lap speeds (never exceeding normal highway speeds). You can practice your
line, locate landmarks for braking, turn in points, etc. and best of all you can take your family along. Yes,
children can go too as long as they wear proper restraints. No helmets, just seat belts.
Again this year, we will use www.clubregistration.net for student and instructor registration. Please

Autocross 5/19/2012 - OSU Ackerman Lot
Article by Mike Tepley
The oval at the NASCAR track in Darlington, SC is egg
shaped. That makes it one of the more interesting tracks in
NASCAR. The track became egg shaped due to the owner
not wanting to give up his pond. Southerners love their
NASCAR but they love their fishing too.
A few of the more interesting moments during our fun filled
day: Some amazing saves in the 6 cone slalom by a number
of entrants. The slalom tightened up towards the end and
provided a real workout and some thrills (silly us). The 1971
Pontiac Tempest almost grinding the rims into the pavement
as the high profile tires folded underneath the car. The
quickest Evo lifting the rear inside wheel in a few corners and
the quickest 911’s lifting the front inside wheel in the same
corners.
The first MOR autocross had to deal with an immovable
object also- ours, however, was a Buick. We tried going
behind it, going in front of it, moving it and over it. We
settled on safety and went in front of it. And you know
what? The course was all the better because of it.
As this event was shared with the Mercedes Benz club the
normal classifications were not used for Porsche so I have
listed the top 5 overall and the top 5 Porsches.
Summer arrived early in Columbus on May 19th and so did
the cars. They kept coming and coming. We ended up with a
nice round 50 entrees. We had all kinds too. The SCCA guys
came out in full force and brought a pair of Mitsubishi Evo’s,
a BMW 3 series body that looked like it was set on an Indy
car chassis, and a couple of Subaru WRX’s. Other unique
entrants included a Formula Ford, 1971 Pontiac Tempest,
Subaru Forester (can you say tippy) and a Hyundai. We had
a nice collection of 11 Porsches including a GT3, a Boxster, a
928, two 944 Turbos, and six 911’s.
Overall:
1. Brian Robertson 04 Mitsubishi Evo 58.643 FTD
2. Garrick 89 BMW SI 59.352
3. Bernie Doran Formula Ford 59.373
4. Aaron Ritch 04 Porsche GT3 59.595
5. Joe Reinacher 08 Misubishi Evo 60.457
Porsche Results:
1- Aaron Ritch 04 GT3 59.595
2 - Mike Tepley 02 911 61.059
3 - Jeff Dupler 84 911 62.840
4 - Dave Wenger 79 911 63.599
5 - Fabian Donnet 87 944 Turbo 64.492
To give everyone a nice run for their money, we continued
to use both lots for a nice long course. Most drivers probably
found a section that they truly loved and probably a section
that gave them a bit of a challenge too. Dave Wenger, Jeff
Dupler and Jim Rybak put together a course that provided
some very fast sections, a long slalom and a very open
sweeper that allowed the young and the young at heart to
drift a little bit and feel fast and furious.
Womens:
1-Erica Pepper 99 Miata 68.374
This was a great event to start out the 2012 MORPCA
autocross season. Don’t be shy next time and come out and
share in the fun with a bunch of car crazy people just like
you. We can always use more cars and folks who love driving
them.
The neat thing about an autocross of this size is that you
will see first timers mixing it up with the fast guys and
everything in between. There were drivers demonstrating
the best lines through the course and some demonstrating
the worst lines through the course. You could see live and
right in front of you what severe understeer looks like and
with the next car see what severe oversteer looks like. When
it was your turn to drive you could experience the same.

autocrosses. 20

918 Spyder Prototypes Commence Trials
Article/photos courtesy PCNA
Stuttgart. The Porsche 918
Spyder is on the road: Dr. Ing.
h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart,
has taken the driving trials
of the super sports car of the
future a step fur-ther with
completion of the initial
prototypes. The 918 Spyder
will go into production at
the end of September 2013
as planned, with the first
customers receiving their
vehicles before 2013 is out.
“What we are doing with
the 918 Spyder is redefining
driving fun, efficiency
and performance,” said
Wolfgang Hatz, Member of the
Executive Board Research and
Development of Porsche AG.
operating strategies and the
development of the software
to go with them are one of
Porsche’s core competences.
Both of them have a major
influence on the extreme
driving fun to be had with the
918 Spyder and they make
possible a unique combination
of minimal fuel consumption
and maximum perform-ance.
The initial results of the driving
trials are in line with the high
expectations placed on the 918
Spyder.
The super sports car is designed
as a plug-in hybrid vehicle
combining a high-performance
combustion engine with
cutting-edge electric motors
for extraordinary performance:
on the one hand, the dynamics
of a racing machine boasting
more than 770 hp, on the other
hand, fuel consumption in the
region of three litres per 100
kilometres. Moreover, Porsche
is breaking yet more new
ground with the technology
demonstrator with spectacular solutions such as the full
carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque with
unit carrier, fully adaptive aerodynamics, adaptive rear-axle
steering and the upward-venting “top pipes” exhaust system.
In the process, the 918 Spyder is offering a glimpse of what
Porsche Intelligent Performance may be capable of in future.
The prototypes, their
camouflage harking back to
historical Porsche 917 racing
cars, signal the final touches to
the 918 Spyder. The focus is on
the interplay between the highly
sophisticated individual drive
components. The combination
of combustion engine and
two independent electric motors – one on the front axle
and one in the drive line, acting on the rear wheels – poses
completely new demands on the devel-opment of the
operating strategies. “They are therefore a critical component
in this vehicle into which we have put all of our expertise
and capacity for innovation,” said Wolfgang Hatz. These

MORPCA Monthly Board Meeting Minutes
May 9, 2012
Submitted by Betsy MacDonell, Secretary
John launched into a discussion about upcoming club activities because
someone asked if MORPCA was hosting a hospitality tent at the Vintage
Race this year. Last year, Porsche was the marque and the club subsidized
the admission ticket to help generate traffic to the event. About 53 people
took advantage of the subsidy which totaled about $1060 from the club. John wants to use our participation at the big track events as leverage for
continued advertizing from Mid-Ohio in DOS. He was successful in getting
the tent at the Grand-Am event and continued advertizing from Mid-Ohio. The board had voted to fund the tent expenses at a previous meeting. The
bad news from Ron Carr was that there will not be a PorschePlatz this year
at the ALMS race. After some discussion that included getting a car corral
area for the Vintage Race, Mike made a motion with Kevin as a second to
not do a hospitality tent with food for the Vintage Race this summer. The
motion passed. The bulk of the club effort will be at the ALMS race. Ron
made a motion with Bill as a second to fund a hospitality tent with food,
chairs and tables at the ALMS race. The total cost will not exceed $2500. The motion passed. John will take the lead on getting the tent rented for
the weekend.
Members present; Ron Thomas, john Brandt, Brian Peterson, Jet
Hawthorne, Eric Carene, Jeff Brubaker, Mike Stoner, Bill Slone, Betsy
MacDonell, Bryan Duffie, Kevin Hennessy, Gerhard Hillmann and Bob
Balchick.
The meeting was held at King Avenue Restaurant and Sports Lounge
and started at 6:40pm. John began with an update on the status of Doug
Harris. Doug was in the hospital last week after suffering a heart attack
and to have bypass surgery. The club sent cards of support to him and
his family. John was able to convince the publicity people at Mid-Ohio to
continue to advertize in DOS and the Club will have a car corral and tent
at the Grand-Am event. John continues to work on the insurance issue at
the track. He will get quotes from companies that regularly insure events
for BMW and POG. He discussed this topic at the Zone 4 Presidential
Meeting this year along with contracts, waivers and how best to choose
instructors. Betsy read the portion of the minutes that was changed and
then the minutes were approved.
Ron launched immediately into the Porsches to Ohio (Porsches to
Granville [PIG]) update. He summarized the meeting with the City
officials where they walked and talked through the weekend logistics. The
East Broadway entrance to downtown will be the site for registration for
the event. All traffic will be routed there to enter the event. At least 2
Police Officers will be required for the event to keep traffic on the streets
that will not be closed. The Village Town house has been rented so the
parking lot will be utilized for registration. A volunteer meeting will
be held at Ron’s Museum on Saturday, June 2nd. Mike will try to find a
sound system for the event. Ron will observe a registration cut-off at one
week before the date so the size of the event will be scaled to that number. At this time we are ahead of where we were last year for registration and
MaryLynn’s Row is close to surpassing last year’s total number of entries. The charity will continue to be cancer related.
Kevin informed everyone that collection efforts are working and the
advertizing accounts are almost all paid in full. The newsletter is run
at a break even cost basis so all sponsors need to be current. Kevin has
had to tackle the long form for filing taxes for last year. The club went
over a threshold for using the short form and he has had to reach out
to other region treasurers to seek advice on how to fill in all the blanks. Other regions have hired an accountant to do their long form filing and
MORPCA may do the same if the effort is too much for a volunteer who
has an engineering background!
In the Driving Events department, Frank was busy racing so the Kevin
cued up his video of his recent drive around the Nüburgring in his rental
car!!! Thirteen miles of non-expense account fun!!
Gerhard jumped into his role of party organizer and announced the next
two third Thursday events will be at Claddach Irish Pub at Polaris and then
at Quaker Steak and Lube. The Westcott House Driving Tour will have a
link to PayPal so Gerhard will know who plans to attend. Brian Peterson
told everyone that Kevin King as access to a 22 acres paved lot and wants to
do a big event there with club help. The idea evolved around the launch of
the new 981Boxster. Kevin King plans to have 2 factory drivers and food
so people can ride with the professionals. The event could also have an
autocross element to introduce the concept to more members. It will not
be an official IRAC event. The date for the event will be Sunday, July 1st. MORPCA will send out a blast using the club e-mail addresses and Byers
will send out an announcement too.
Bryan will update the website with new photos from the various events
this year. He has launched a new calendar layout and committee members
will need to check to see if their event is listed correctly. The Autocross
events have submitted good articles lately and the other driving events
should be detailed too. All information about Club Race will have to
be approved by National before it appears on the website. The charity
information appears to be in need of an update. Bryan then showed
everyone the inside of the WordPress software on the big screen.
Jet has been asked to add some additional charities and his response was
to wait and see if the club finances allow any additional expenditures. He
also said he would submit the update for the charity portion of the club
website.
Bill does not have a member generated article for the new DOS. The
number of people that have submitted an e-mail address to national is
the total number of e-mail addresses he has. That number will change
after P2O when that list can be merged with the member list for huge
e-mail blasts. Kevin reminded all board members to use the club e-mail
address for club business purposes and stop using the personal one. If a
problem happened and the club business was being investigated legally,
the personal e-mails would then be open for scrutiny.
Round Table Discussion
• Brian – Showed everyone the shirts he made for the upcoming DE.
• Kevin – He will take delivery of his track car next Friday!! It is a 1997
silver 993 RS clone that he found in Charlotte, NC.
The meeting adjourned at 9:01 pm. The next meeting will be held at King
Avenue Five Restaurant and Sports Lounge on Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at
6:30 pm. Plan to meet everyone for pre-meeting social time around 6 pm. All members are welcome to attend!!
