I had the good fortune of attending the third annual CruZionsville event on June 15 with my husband.
The weather was great, but the cars were amazing! The Central Indiana Region Porsche Club of America sponsored the event. It was held in Zionsville on its historic Main Street. The CIRPCA was established in 1961 and holds events that are intended to assure that individuals who enjoy the Porsche have an opportunity to share their love with other Porsche fans and to support the Alzheimer’s Association.
Beautiful, shiny Porsches were lined up on each side of the brick street, one right after the other. One hundred Porsches, in a variety of years and colors, were available to those of us that were interested and envious. Proud owners were nearby, anxious to give details or statistics about their “baby.”
One such owner was Tom Beeler, of Indianapolis, attending with his wife, Bonnie. Beeler’s car caught my eye because of the unusual color. It matched his wife’s beautiful burnt red hair. This was the first CruZionsville they’d taken part in, and they plan to be back next year.
“I would like to see more Porsche owners join the club so that we could meet more people with common interests,” Beeler said.
The club’s next area event is the Indy Rolex GRAND-AM Practice and Qualifying at the Indianapolis Speedway Formula One Road Course. The two-day event begins at 6:30 a.m. July 25 and is sure to please.
