14 Jp jpmagazine.com NOVEMBER 2019Where Do You Read Jp Magazine?
Perry Champ’s story about this
photo is multilayered and worth the
wait for the nugget center: “I am retired
from the USAF and currently work for
Allstate as an insurance agent and as
a part-time volunteer for Toys for Tots.
I also work part-time at Weis Markets,
a large regional grocery chain. One
of our b eer supplier s is W.R. Hic key in
State College, Pennsylvania, home of
the Nittany Lion. A Hickey’s manager
invited me to t ake my Jeep into their
warehouse. I have the recent issue of
Jp on my Nook. I have b een reading
Jp for most of 20 years. For those who
like beer, what’s cooler than being
surrounded by all this beer? Ironically,
I don’t drink.”
Now, where do you read Jp? Well, if
you read it in a unique or c ool loc ation,we want to see a photo of that—and
don’t bother with a toilet photo, please.
The photo should show you, the
magazine, and the location, all in one.
Email the photo and information about
you to [email protected] with
the subject line “Jp on Location.” Show
and tell! Answer these questions for us
in your email:
Your name
Where you’re from
Where the photo was taken
What you’re doing/why you’re
at that location

quality), BMP, or TIFF file and a size of no
les s than 1,6 0 0 by 1, 20 0 pixels or about
2 megapixels (or the original size from
your phone/device). It probably goes
without saying that your copy of Jp
should b e seen with you in the photo.What Do We Think of This Jeep Mod?
Friend of Jp Magazine and European-journalist-with-a-Jeep-obsession Martin Brink
sent us this pic of a JK parked alongside the road during his travels on a D-Day tour while
in Normandy, France. Note the grille treatment. Regarding being there for the historic
D-Day 75th anniversary, Martin said, “There were a lot of Jeeps being driven around by
private owners, and some had veterans as passengers. There were also a lot of Dodges
(WC) and the rest of the military stuff used during the Second World War. Also airplanes.
And a few veterans were there and even came down by parachute (doing a double jump
with a younger parachutist). Just how it was during WWII.”1,000hp Jeep Gladiator Maximus 1000

Motorsports hero, off-road racer, and
Baja 10 0 0/ 5 0 0 k ing Rod Hall pas sed away
at age 81. He won the very first Baja 1000
and competed in every Baja 1000 after that
until 2017, the race’s 50th anniversary—
and yes, he c ompe ted in that one at almos t
80 years old. He loved four-wheeling
enough as a young’un to buy and learn to
work on a used Jeep, and he would race
with people from Hemet Jeep Club. A new
C J - 5 that he bought for $1,70 0 was his
first race rig for his first race and his first
win (the Afton Canyon Jeep Junket), and
it joined him again for that first NORRA
Mexican 1000, aka the Baja 1000—or better
known as the start of the life of a legend.C

“I saw the Jeep lift off the ground, and it went over my head,
and my first thought was, This is just like in the movies.”
—Terry Seymour to Colorado’s KDVR, who got out of his Jeep during a tornado alert,
realized lying in a ditch was still too windy, and then took cover next to his Jeep, only to
have a tornado touch down and throw his Jeep at him. He suffered a broken shinbone.DISPATCH
