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.

Shotgun Observations by Kathie Hunter (October 2008)

This is going to press before I hop the plane to New Mexico to experience a Southwest Porsche “Escape”. While we have been planning our 2009 Escape to the Birthplace of Aviation, it is good to get a chance to see what another region has created. When we worked on the 1993 Parade, all of the planning com-mittee and most of the event chairs had attended a Parade, but Escape is relatively new, and none of us have experienced one of these colorful events as yet.

If you would like to share the southwestern Ohio experience with others from around the country, please contact any Escape chair to volunteer. Your expertise on Ohio, its history, aviation and local Porsche friends is very much needed and appreciated.

Also, please note that the second printing of the 2009 Board of Directors Ballot is included in this issue of the Bent Pylon. Balloting takes place at the Palooza event to be held November 8th at the new Beechmont facility. Please see the event article for details.

Lastly, long-time OVR member, former regional VP, President, D.E. and multiple events chair, Harvey Eastman, is battling cancer and in Hospice care. He enjoys the cards and letters people have been sending and proudly displays them in his and Linda’s lakeside Loudon Tennessee retirement home. It is the policy of OVR to not give out personal addresses, but, if you would like to send him a line, please contact me and I will gladly give you his home address so that you can send on your words of encouragement and friendship.
