The event is set for June 2426. In addition to the Verizon IndyCar Series, all three levels of the Mazda Road to Indy will compete on race weekend. Road America is a four-mile, 14-turn racetrack that was established in 1955. Road America hosted IndyCar races from 1982 to 2007. "We know how revered Road America is by our drivers, teams and fans and we're confident it will be a great event on the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series calendar," said Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman & Co., the parent of IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "We're thankful to (Road America president and general manager) George Bruggenthies and his staff for their collaboration in bringing IndyCar back to one of the most iconic road courses in North America."

Our spies have gotten intelligence that some PCAMilwaukee Region members have been spotted scouting Porsche-appropriate backroads for a potential tour next May (yes, that’s 2016! ). Our eavesdropping equipment has heard some curious words being thrown about including something about an on-water conveyance that has a positive first-name association with a well-known Porsche family member, a city with connections to Frank Lloyd Wright, a winery that holds an annual car show on their grounds, a walking tour of a historic Wisconsin city that has a connection to early lead-mining days, as well as a two-night stay in a historic Illinois city with ties to riverboat days, a former U.S. President, and the Civil War. If you don’t participate, your excuse can’t be that you weren’t given adequate notice). In fact, our PCA-MR drone has captured photos that lend some credence to this intelligence. We have suspicions that this could be a prelude to a Great River Road Tour – Part Three! If you’re at all intrigued, you will want to hold the dates of Friday, May 20, through Sunday, May 22, 2016 open on your calendars. Stay tuned; we’ll report additional intelligence as we get it! Drive to brunch, follow-the-leader style Join us for a drive to brunch Sept. 20. Start at Black Canyon 300 E . Summit Ave, Wales, for cars and coffee and then do a follow-the-leader drive to brunch at Fox and Hounds, Hubertus, near Holy Hill. $14.99 per adult. Schedule: Cars & Coffee starts at 8 a.m. Drivers' meeting at 8:45 a.m. and depart for the driving tour at 9 a.m. RSVP by email: nebioblue99@gmail.com due Thursday, Sept 18. Page 6 September 2015 Steinlifters DE event declared a big success By Terry Royals, DE chair More than 100 registered drivers participated in a safe, exciting driving experience. Wow, what a perfect day (especially if you like it a little warm) to be at Road America. We hosted a Drivers Education event on Aug. 14 that included more than 100 registered drivers. As in years past there was a strong focus on growing the number of participants, especially first time drivers. (We had 34 new participants. Yeah!) As we know, after the first time on the track, they will return. In addition to the drivers, we were joined by 35 veterans who enjoyed a driving tour as passengers in Porsches during the lunch hour. U.S. flags were displayed in their honor. This is always a heart warming experience. Thanks to all those who took some time away to drive them around. Putting on such an event is not a one person job. This year was filled with volunteers, new and old. Some of the things our volunteers helped with included: 1. Assembling check-in bags 2. Registration 3. Marketing the event 4. Handling the many pieces of paper that come to us 5. Tech inspection (CS MotorSports) 6. Addressing the multitude of requests The one special volunteer we want to mention by name is Al Wagner. This was Al's last DE event as a volunteer (but we hope not as a driver) and speaking personally, as the DE Chair, I (we) am going to miss him. Al has become a great friend and someone I know our club can count on for his organizational skills and ensuring everything is accurate throughout the year. The one thing you might not know, is that Al takes between 40-60 hours of his time the week prior to the DE event to ensure novice pairings are appropriate, solicits additional instructors and most of all...he makes sure we are set up to have a GREAT event. Al, thanks for your help in bringing our DE program back to life...we are going to miss you. Participant expresses thanks A participant wrote this note following the event: "Thank you Alan and the Milw. Porsche Club for allowing me to drive the track and serve a veteran. His name I believe was Carl and he lives at the Milw. V.A. center. He seemed to enjoy it, although his speech was limited. I also brought along a friend, a Vietnam vet. He also got a good ride in a silver Porsche. Lord willing we will do it again next year. Thanks again, Ken Dressler. Look for more photos of our DE fun in the next issue of Steinlifters. Porsches show off on Club Saturday at the Milwaukee Masterpiece Patti O’Krongly (above), region member and one of the many volunteers who worked at the Masterpiece, checks in Porsches and guides them to the designated parking area on the show field. Visit the region’s Facebook page — PCA Milwaukee — for more photos. A number of members brought their Porsches to Club Saturday at the M, Aug. 22, 2015, in Veterans Park. The event kicked off the Masterpiece weekend. Photos by Donna Daufenbach and Bev Jurkowski.

After staging the first three Rennsport Reunion events on the East Coast, at Connecticut's Lime Rock Park and the Daytona International Speedway, Rennsport Reunion IV moved west in 2011 to Laguna Seca, offering a vast array of West Coast car aficionados and Porsche enthusiasts a the opportunity to drive and/or trailer their Porsche vehicles to the event. The racecars at speed will be complemented by a full European-style Porsche Concours d’Elegance (Contest of Elegance) event, open to invited race participants, as well as special activities celebrating each of the six decades of legendary Porsche racecars.
