President’s Report – June 2014

Jason Miller – KY Region President

Brake, Off, Turn in, Open, Open, Gas, Gas…..

I still hear these words in my sleep.

The weekend of April 25-27 KYPCA’s very own Jedi Master – Gene “Obi-wan” Hoffman, Robert Klein, and myself made our presence known at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Gene driving as an instructor, seemed to know everyone in the lot after only the first day – he never meets a stranger.

Co-hosted by the Mid-Ohio Region and the Eastern Buckeye Region PCA, the weekend was fantastic. Cold, but fantastic! Just as Gene knew everyone after the first day, everyone knew me also, as I showed up in shorts and a t-shirt. There was a 20 degree temperature swing. If you find yourself curious, I did pack warmer clothes.

Everyone we met was extremely welcoming and helpful. We met the Presidents of both Regions Betsy MacDonell (MORPCA) and Greg Brady (EBRPCA). Greg turned out to be my Instructor for the weekend. Also driving in the event was Zone 4 Representative, Michael Soriano. Michael and his wife were able to provide some much needed information on the upcoming Parade which will be held in French Lick, Indiana.

As this was only my second track event, the first one being at Putnam Park last September, I must admit there was an element of fear. The experienced driver will tell you “Putnam is forgiving, Mid-Ohio is not.” “Mid-Ohio is a very technical track.” “Anyone can go fast in a straight line, but how do you handle the turns?” I knew my limitations and addressed them one at time session after session. My speed improved, as did my comfort. The boxster held up and I was able to drive it home (the only trophy I need). I had no off-track excursions. I passed a new corvette in the turns and never saw it again, that particular session anyway. And, I got bumped up to Yellow at the end of the weekend. Robert and I, partially quenched our need for speed.

Gene, Robert, and I are ready for Putnam this June. Are you? While I loved the Mid-Ohio Track, I believe nothing compares to the KYPCA overall event. As one of the only clubs with Dealership presence, the social aspect of the KYPCA DE alone cannot be rivaled. Give it a try and you’ll be hooked – I am!

Our June meeting will be Monday, June 9 at Captain’s Quarters.

Jason Miller – KY Region President

The April Wine Tasting was a huge success! Thanks again to Joe and Jane for hosting a fabulous night. There were 30 guest in attendance. It was great to see so many new faces, and of course, the old ones weren’t bad either.

If I do say so myself, 2014 has been a great year so far for club participation. And, it keeps getting better. With the help of our new Activities Chair, T.H. Morris, we have several new events planned. Participation is the key, and we are open to any and all suggestions. Here is a quick rundown of our current plans:

– May 10 Owensboro Barbecue Festival
– May 12 Monthly Membership Meeting @ Matt’s House
– May 24 Saturday Morning Breakfast Social
– June 6-8 KYPCA DE @ Putnam Park
– June 9 Monthly Membership Meeting @ Captain’s Quarters
– June 21 Winzerwald Winery Drive
– July 19 Keeneland Concours
– August 23 Carmel Artomobilia
– Date TBD Dance Lessons and Cocktails

Our new website is up and running. The address is unchanged – https://kypca.org. Check it frequently for the monthly Pacesetter and Calendar updates for Activities.

Look for the June President’s Report for what I hope to be an exciting, but uneventful, recount of my first trip to Mid Ohio.

Let’s keep driving!

Jason Miller
