The Friction Circle
by John Brandt, President
As I write this on Thanksgiving I recall a memorable and
truly noteworthy year. We should certainly be thankful of all
the awesome experiences we’ve had this past year as we look
forward to the New Year.
track schedule will see a little bit of a shake up, at least to the
dates. Our May season opener Driver’s school at Mid-Ohio
will be the third weekend of April, much earlier than usual,
which will position us as the first PCA region of the year, and
will, I think, increase the anticipation for our event, which
for years has been third in a row of our Ohio Porsche clubs.
Nationwide Insurance took our August date for their piddly
little NASCAR thing, so this year the Club race weekend will
be July 6th through 8th, - it is essentially a Fourth of July
Club race! Americans love racing on the 4th and I absolutely
think that we’ll do great with this date and predict that it can
become a strong tradition on the PCA schedule. Putnam’s
DE is going to be the biggest adjustment with a move all the
way to early October! Candidly I think this will work out
great because over the years the extreme weather (mostly heat
with one bizarre weekend of winter in July) has lessened the
excitement for his otherwise righteously fun weekend at what
is simply a jewel of a track. Only Nelson Ledges stays the
same on the Schedule (mid June) and that is fine since even
MORPCA-ites know better than to tinker with perfection! At
least for a while....
It is probably easy to take for granted, but your Porsche club
is a remarkable group. Not every car club does the things
that we do, nor has the type of camaraderie that we share.
We put on four pro-caliber track events a year, a full schedule
of Autocross, Tech events at world class facilities, mid-week
socializers, a National Race at one of the best tracks in the
nation, and just about the biggest single marque car show
in the world. Then we cap it off at the end of the year with a
grand ballroom gala to celebrate. Most people don’t get to do
this sort of stuff.
The one common focal point here are the people who
put all these things together: Yes, I’m talking about YOU!
MORPCA is such an extraordinary group of people! I’m not
sure I’ll ever completely understand how all these strong
personalities mix so well, but it’s been going on for nigh fifty
years, so clearly this has a way of regenerating. I guess these
cars of ours just have a special appeal to highly capable, fun
loving people. Obviously, though, all this awesomeness
is fueled by You-Power and the club always needs fresh
ideas. Consider coming for dinner at the board meeting and
sharing your thoughts!
With a heavy heart I must make you aware of the passing of
one of our most fun-loving people. Chris Allison left this
world on November 15th, and will be greatly missed. Chris’
quick wit and irreverent sense of humor always added fun
wherever he went and his enthusiasm was immense. He
was a friend to all who knew him. Our sympathies go to
Trina and their three lovely daughters. Let his passing be a
reminder as you celebrate the Holidays not to take too much
for granted.
I am happy that our P2O in Granville was so well received
and I am also truly pleased that our Club race was the big
success this year as it has been in the past. Both of our
signature events are at their rightful positions of excellence.
And we will continue that tradition this year, with a few
tweaks as usual- we are tinkerers at our core. This year’s
Best Wishes to you all; and as always, I look forward to seeing
you soon.

Austin USGP: The inaugural United States Grand Prix
at Austin, TX was everything as promised, including the
crowds! The race was exciting, the weather was perfect,
and the track was expertly laid out. Viewing was excellent
from several areas, including the General Admission areas.
One of the support races was the Porsche Pirelli GT3 Cup
Trophy USA West. As usual, the Porsche races were very
entertaining, especially considering the drivers had only one
practice session and one qualifying session on a brand new
track before their race! We ventured up to turn one for the
race (before it was closed off due to too many spectators),
and witnessed a very competitive race. You should definitely
make plans to visit the Circuit of the Americas facility. If you
don’t want to fight the F1 crowds, there are Grand Am and
American Le Mans events scheduled for 2013.

IRAC 6 Autocross 10/20/12
Consol Field, Washington, PA
Article by Mike Tepley
The alarm clock went off quite early- it must have been
4:30am or so. This is not an unusual phenomenon for
anyone who participates in Porsche Club events. Sometimes
family commitments, jobs and other social activities come
up and you have to do what you have to do to participate.
The forecast was calling for 35% chance of precipitation so
not hearing any raindrops as the alarm was silenced was a
good sign. The streets were still wet and no stars could be
seen but it was time to go. Surprisingly, the wipers went
unused all the way to Washington, PA. Things were looking
pretty good for an autocross this late in the season.
And now for the weather- both run groups dealt with
slightly damp conditions in the morning runs with the
course mostly drying out. After lunch however, more rain.
The first run group in the afternoon had to contend with a
pretty wet course and times were not falling as they usually
do. The second run group benefitted from some sun and as
the afternoon wore on times began to drop. In fact it was
interesting to look at the final statistics with the first run
group typically being faster in the morning and the second
run group faster in the afternoon. But that is the way the
autocrosses go.
The final autocross of the 2012 season was hosted by the
Allegheny Region. It was nice to welcome them back after
a several year hiatus. Rob Hoffman and crew have put on
a total of 3 autocrosses this year in their region and are
starting to build a real following in the area for autocross
once again. 25 cars had pre-registered and another 14
showed up to make a nice field of 39, with 18 being our
favorite brand. We had 4 water pumper 911’s with one being
a turbo and another with all wheel drive, 4 Boxsters, 8 air
cooled 911’s, a 924s and a 944 turbo.
Allegheny used a nice PA system to announce the drivers
and their times sometimes providing humorous editorial
comments as well such as when a car took out a bunch of
cones or did a nice spin or tail swap. Due to the often wet
weather there was no shortage of cars slip sliding around.
One of the best moments of the autocross was when MOR’s
Dave Wenger took out two cones that wedged themselves like
fangs to the front of his 911. It was a real nice Halloween treat
for all those who got a peek.
We are really glad Allegheny Region is back in the IRAC
series and their ability to offer well run and enjoyable events
like this one is a real plus for the series. This event wraps up
autocross for the season. We hope to see many more coming
out for autocross in 2013. Don’t be shy we’d love to have you
come out and enjoy your car with us.
The course was laid out in the parking lot of the Consol
Field baseball park. It was a pretty nice lot with hills all
around it with some challenges like wet spots and areas of
loose gravel. The course was rather quick starting on a slight
uphill which immediately took drivers to the left and into
a short 3 cone slalom. After the slalom the course opened
up and it was a mostly straight run to a very large arching
right hand turn which allowed those that knew how to drift
a bit to do so. The course then continued right making a full
circle at a crossover and then a series of offset gates put the
drivers to the left and the course slowed down a bit to the
finish. This course was fast with the quickest times in the
low 30 second range.

COVERSTORY
Great Weather Provides Backdrop for the
MORPCA Chili Cook-Off
Photos by Doug Harris and Bill Slone
In addition to swapping stories about
upcoming winter projects (that
may or may not happen), members
viewed each other’s cars along with
Ron Thomas’s wide range of rare and
collectable Porsches.
Ron Thomas and Diana Spiers hosted
the “Almost Annual” Chili Cook-Off
this year at their home on a beautiful
sunny fall day. Several members
attended and cleaned up their Porsches
for the car show in addition to creating
their own world famous chili recipes.
This year, Patrice Hennessy took the
Best Chili crown. Virginia Huffman
was awarded with the best dessert,
beating out a cheese cake that featured
a chocolate Carrera!
Thanks to Ron and Diana for inviting
us to their house and going out of their
way to make us feel welcome.
By the way, the German Riesling wine
was excellent!

Executive Director about how membership records were being handled at the
region level. John reported that he and Jet presented the charity check to the
City Life Center recently. A complete tour of the facility was given to them and
of special interest was the automotive education shop. The students learn how
to work with tools and on cars. This school is in Franklinton and it helps show
the kids that there is a way of life beyond their immediate scene. The school
tries to teach “fundamentals of society behavior”. The next check presentation
was at the charter school called Harambee Christian School. Both John and
Jet observed that since the school has started, the transitional neighborhood
has changed in a positive ways. This school is project of the Xenos church. The
third charity check was presented to the Heizerling Foundation. The money
will be used to enhance the quality of life of the residents including field trips.
Some residents will live their whole lives at the foundation and these things
will be greatly appreciated. Photos were taken at all locations. The charity
funding calculation is now made on 28% of club money remaining after all
bills are paid at the end of the year. In 2011 MORPCA gave 4K and in 2012
MORPCA gave 6K. The charity donations from P2O are a separate situation.
Ron was able to get 20 volunteers at the last minute from a charity in Newark
by agreeing to donate 1K. A motion to pay 1K to the Housing Coalition of
Newark was made by Ron and seconded by Kevin. The motion carried.
Chip Henderson reports that Frank has a formula for successful driving
events for next year. In a nut shell; there will not be a mother’s day DE event,
Nelson’s Ledges will be the site of a DE, Club Race will host a DE and it will be
in August. The track committee will meet in early November to discuss the
little changes that will make the events even better. Frank is going to have hip
replacement surgery on November 13 and we know all will go well. One issue
that should be included is the inclusion of C/D students in the August event or
pair up with another region to include them. The instructor core is aging and
another school should be on the calendar soon.
Ron gave a rosy report for the 2012 P2O. The Chamber of Commerce for
Granville wants the event for next year. Ron also gave a quick update on the
PCA Club Race at Daytona. Jeff Brubaker went with him to help. It was a
spectacular event and really fun to feel the G-forces on the banked turns.
They even found Hurley Haywood’s favorite greasy spoon restaurant. A grand
adventure for sure.
In the technical end, Jeff has 2 good sessions on the calendar. The first is at
Auto Spa and it is about detailing. The second is at Michael Shanks Racing Shop
in Pataskala. That will be held on December 1st. The trickle charge events will
be held in January, February and March.
Membership numbers are looking great. Trina reports 953 total members with
13 non renewals, 13 renewals and 4 new members last month. John candidly
took responsibility for the non-renewals because he did not make any phone
calls to talk them into staying.
A long discussion started about using some of our Club money to purchase a
van to not only get supplies to events but also serve as a storage spot for cones.
There are many things to consider about vehicle ownership that are obvious
but a club ownership? Maybe big events could rent a van for that weekend
and use some of the money for better storage shelves in the storage locker.
Another idea is to purchase a club trailer to use to haul stuff to events. Then
the decision of an open or closed trailer. Any further discussions will have to
include Jim Rybek. Right now he uses his trailer to get big bulky supplies to
events such as cones to IRAC events. The whole topic was shelved for another
meeting.
The election for 2013 MORPCA Board Officers is set for the annual meeting (as
usual). The slate is dangerously familiar too. The 2013 slate of officers is: John
Brandt; President, Mike Stoner; Vice President, Kevin Hennessy; Treasurer and
Betsy MacDonell; Secretary. All officers expressed a need for more people to fill
these roles for 2014 and beyond. The Board members plan to circulate at the
annual meeting to find people that want to get more involved.
Round Table Discussion
•
Brian has the website all ready to go with regards to chairpersons posting
information about their particular area of interest. He even offered private
lessons on how to make posts.
Kevin announced that the club is in good shape; in fact it is 23K ahead of this
time last year. Now is the time to approach the would be sponsors for next
year. Mike has volunteered to talk to MAG again and Ron Thomas will talk to
Byers Imports. The issue of advertisers in DOS is looming too. What are the
rates for next year, how much color will be used and how will a DOS ad equate
to a web ad? Kevin advocates the position of an Advertising Manager (or
Coordinator) which would chase down these companies and make sure they
stay current with payments. Brian volunteered to help make the color issues of
DOS more spectacular.

Gerhard attended the Mariemont Rally in Cincinnati, an event that had
a very similar feel as P2O. He said it was a good time with about 100 cars
in attendance. The weather did not cooperate for good attendance. The
Escort Radar inventor, Valentine, was there and he is an OVR instructor.
He has a Porsche valued at .5M and drives it at events at Mid-Ohio.
Kevin had a big adventure in banking of late. He has been signing checks
for MORPCA for 3 years and suddenly he was informed that he is not on
record for that activity according to the Huntington Bank. So he had to
start the account all over again.
Brian told everyone about his little mishap with his car at Mid-Ohio.
The meeting adjourned at 9:34 pm. The next meeting will be held at King
Avenue Five Restaurant and Sports Lounge on Wednesday, November 14,
2012 at 6:30 pm. The December meeting will convene if the Board deems it
necessary after the Annual Meeting. When there is a meeting, plan to meet
around 6 pm for pre-meeting fun and visiting.
Gerhard began his activities report with the announcement of the Chili Cookoff will be held at Ron Thomas’ and Diana Spires residence this weekend. It
will include a casual car show with four categories. The fall foliage driving tour
is set for Sunday, October 21st at the Klaubundes in the Hocking Hills. The
