You can drive the 40 or so miles back to Indy and Chip check-out the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (which is very cool by the way), but Putnam doesn’t have a lot to offer the non-driver.

The layout is simple and it has enough elevation change and variation in corners to make it fun and challenging. It is also a course that can be driven well in the rain without too much drama. If you do manage to have an off-track excursion, the course is in the middle of a cornfield, so there aren’t many things to hit. Once you stop sliding in the grass, you simply drive back to the track and get going again (after a quick stop in the pits of course). At a little over three hours from Columbus, Putnam is an easy trip – and well worth the effort. Porsche motorsports has a long and proud history on the tracks across North America. You can see and experience this history first hand at places called “Madness,” “The Boot,” “Kettle Bottoms,” and “Dead Bear Turn.” Many are less than a day’s drive away.

10 October 2013 Putnam Park Driver Education: October 19 – 20, 2013

Mid-Ohio Region (MORPCA) and Central Indiana Region (CIRPCA) are co-hosting a driver education event at Putnam Park Road Course in Mt. Meridian, Indiana. Both MORPCA and CIRPCA were two of the first clubs to hold driver education events at Putnam Park www.putnampark.com .

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. All experience levels are welcome, beginners through advanced. First time drivers welcome! The Instructor and Advanced run groups will offer Expanded Passing (pass with a point anywhere on the track including in the turns). All other groups will be fully instructed with standard passing protocols.

Do you still want more track time? 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 lines, locate landmarks for braking, turn in points, etc. 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.

Tech inspection will begin at 5:00 PM on Friday, October 18, at the hotel and continue at the track on Saturday morning. Please have the tech inspection form filled out prior to arrival. Form available at www.morpca.org and also on clubregistration.net when you register.

Student sign up: All students are to sign up on www.clubregistration.net. If you are new to this web site, the first exercise will be to establish a profile. If you need help, please contact us.

Instructor sign up: Must be a current MORPCA or CIRPCA approved instructor to sign up, if you have questions please contact the MORPCA Chief Driving Instructor, Jeff West at [email protected] or CIRPCA Chief Driving Instructor, Curt DeVoe at [email protected] .

14 October 2013 In Memoriam

John R. Dixon Jr.

DIXON, Jr., John R. passed away August 31, 2013 after a short battle with cancer. He didn’t lose this battle, he won because he never let the cancer or the diagnosis break his spirit. John was born November 11, 1952 and grew up in Bellbrook, graduating from Bellbrook High School in 1971. He later attended Wright State University. He married his wife, Vickie, in 1975. John lived his life with a fearless passion, embracing both the joys and challenges that every day brought to him. He lived his life by his own rules and those rules involved loving your family endlessly (and friends were always considered family), giving 110% to your work no matter what the task was, working tirelessly to help those less fortunate and finding joy and humor in every single day of your life. John always looked for ways to give back to those less fortunate and spent countless days and hours looking for ways to help make the world a better place, especially for the children and animals of this world. He was a sports fan and was devoted to his Cincinnati Redlegs and his Buckeyes, savoring the World Series and NCAA Championship titles. Many will remember John for his extensive automobile collection, known as the Taj Ma Garaj. John opened his collection to thousands of visitors over the years and was proud to share his passion with fellow enthusiasts. For all his passions in life, none was more dear to John’s heart than his family. He cherished his role as a father and grandfather through the many years. He prided himself on taking an active part in the lives of his daughters and grandchildren, from being the Troop Dad of their Brownie Troops in the 1980s (at the time he was the only male troop leader in Indianapolis) to dancing a special dance with his daughters every year on their birthday to attending all of his grandchildren’s school and sporting events, and reminding them all “Don’t Stop Believing” and that “SLY- Somebody Loves You.” John leaves behind his sweetheart of a wife, Vickie, his two daughters Hilary West (husband Phil) and Ashley Rohrbacher (husband John) as well as his special Dutch daughter Linda Nugter (husband Robert De Vries), three grandsons Gunnar, Koen and Jaap, two granddaughters Charlotte and Rory and a new grandchild coming in 2014. His sister Rebecca, brother Kenny and many cousins, nieces and nephews and hundreds of friends that John thought of as family will all celebrate John’s life and honor his memory through their stories, laughter and tears. John was grateful for the care that Hospice of Dayton provided, particularly the comfort he received from Steve, “other” Steve, Brad, Rob, Nole, Melissa and the rest of the Crisis Care Team. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the John Dixon legacy fund at any Wright-Patt Credit Union. All of the money will go to further John’s desire to brighten the lives of sick children in Dayton. John believed in education and the power of knowledge and chose to donate his body to Wright State University. The family will hold a Memorial Service at a later date.

The Panamera looks like a Porsche and one must see it in person to judge how well form follows function. My experience is that when you see it in person and drive it at speed and the Panamera morphs into a thing of absolute beauty. Form so very much follows function. The proportions of the car in motion define its beauty. Porsches are not static objects. Touch the Panamera, drive it, and you will see the beauty.

The most important design feature of the Panamera is the interior. Fittingly this is the first Porsche that focuses on passengers as well as the driver. It is a unique interior synthesis between sports car and luxury sedan. It is a distinctly Porsche interior with a splash of English-like coachwork and luxury to boot.
