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.

Book Review: “Porsche Sixty Years” by Ted Hunter
By OVRPCA Webmaster @ 6:15 PM :: 776 Views :: 0 Comments :: Article Rating :: Member Articles 		 
A new book on the shelves, “Porsche Sixty Years” by Randy Leffingwell, has been received and its review is very positive.

The book is large, but not huge, easily handled and its layout is excellent as one of the key elements of the book is its full-colored pictures. Mr. Leffingwell has included a large number of photos that are extremely good and are on single pages, not divided by the binding. This aspect makes the photos a real high point, as this book is mostly pictures, high quality pictures. And, the photos are well captioned.

The text is well written. The text seems to add more historic and more internal Porsche thinking and decision-making aspects to previous histories. Although the text was not as easily slowing as books such as Karl Ludvigsen’s tone, but the additional information keeps one reading.

The book goes from pre-Porsche days to the Cayman development and release. The format is similar to previous books with alternating productions and the racing activities of the different eras of the covered 60 years, with ore details of racing technologies being transferred to production cars. The pictures are all new with very interesting and revealing new archival photos.

This book would be a fine addition to any Porsche Library or the first book to begin one.
