OVR is dynamic.  We have listened and have made small and deliberate changes to OVR events to engage spouses and associate members and it is working.  Our wine tasting and our Owl Creek Tour had almost 50% of spouses attending.  Even our Mid-Ohio DE had a good showing of associate members.  We are also seeing many first time attendees join the fun, and I have met veteran OVR members who just never got around to attending an event.  The excitement of Celebration 50 (October 29 and 30 PoV, Mariemont Inn, C-50 Tour)- OVR’s 50th   Anniversary  year is bringing out many first timers.  We have two more tours upcoming - July and September so keep your OVR Calendar handy. 

Race season is upon us and OVR knows how to keep the throttle at full.  You can join other Porsche owners for the Vintage Grand Prix Races at Mid-Ohio on June 24/25/26 and in Pittsburg on July 22nd/23rd/24th.  Porsche is the featured marque for both locations and there will be a Porsche Corral with lots of food and drink for all.  Can Bobby Rahal and his team make it three in a row at Le Mans?  Find out June 11th and 12th. 

And finally, OVR’s Club Race is at Putnam Park July 15/16/17.  If you’ve ever wanted to get into the pits and see the racers and cars up close, this is your chance.  If you have considered racing your Porsche, this is your time to see firsthand all the excitement of PCA Club Racing.  Enjoy the weekend watching your fellow PCA members race for the honor of standing on the podium.

The summer is passing fast and OVR is here to help you keep your own throttle wide open.

Just when I think I have seen it all…the motor hit the ground! Yes, that’s what I said. The motor hit the ground! Coming out of turn 7 at Putnam Park the rear motor support where it bolts to the mounts broke and the engine fell to the ground. The good news is that the muffler is the lowest point so it took all the force and the motor case is fine. I wasn’t the most popular guy at the track though; it took almost an hour to get the car off the track. Fortunately, part of the time was during lunch break. First we had to get a strap under the engine and hoist the engine before lifting the chassis. Then gently drag the whole thing back to the paddock. The crew at Putnam did a great job. The brace has been welded and reinforced with additional metal and the car is back in operation. Hopefully, I can check this off the list of things I never want to experience again.

I hope to see you at our annual “Palooza” party at Porsche of the Village on November 8th. This is a great opportunity in a casual environment to meet your fellow OVR members or reconnect with some friends.
