We do suspension work right.
In which the President solicits thoughts
and opinions from the enlightened membership.
In our continuing effort to broaden the
base of involvement for all members, the
Board recently approved a “Letters to the
Editor” section of the Bent Pylon. The
idea is to give members the opportunity to
comment, propose, critique or otherwise
make positive comments for the good of
the order.
We’re not sure exactly about the specifics of the program, but
I like the concept. Forget what Walter Lippman said in The
Public Philosophy. We need public opinion from everybody.
The people on the Board help to manage the day to day
events of the club, but strategy, direction, fine-tuning and
innovation can also come from everyone. We need to hear
from all of the members about what we need to do, how we
need to get there and who is going to do it.
So with that in mind, I would encourage everyone to send an
e-mail to the BP editor with your ideas. I’m thinking that we
should call it “Speaker’s Corner” after the section of Hyde
Park in London where anyone can sound forth. Naturally, we
need to keep things on a reasonably high level, so the editor
reserves the right to edit anything or anyone sounding like
they advocate that Judge Hoffmann free the Indianapolis
500. But short of that, send in your ideas.
Meantime, I am going back to packing for a week of vacation
with the family in Turkey. Gelecek ay goreshuruz. See you
next month.

Von dem Redakteur End of Year Party
Wade Huston- Editor, Bent Pylon
Bill Kief - Event Chair
Do you have something to say? We are
adding a Speaker’s Corner column to
the Bent Pylon. The subject, as noted by
President John Meyer, is open. Whatever is on your mind as long as it pertains
to the club and/or Porsches. One good
example was the Flash Back column
from last month which was a response
to John’s column. Has anything else that
John has said caused you to want to
write a response? As you read the board meeting minutes do
you think of something you would like to add to the conversation? Send your comments to me. One half of a page is
around 450 words in case you are wondering. You can write
much less or much more.
OVR’s 2013 End of Year Party and New Member Meet &
Greet the Board Event
Page 11 has coverage of the Tribute to John Dixon event.
John has been a presence in the local Porsche scene for
many years now. Do you have a memory of him or his Garaj
that you would want to share with the club? Someone who
will remain nameless told me they were considering purchasing the 1957 Carrera GT Speedster before John Dixon
bought it. Do you have a story about the car that got away?
Or a car that you bought before someone else could? Write
a quick story and send it to me. Don’t worry that you are not
an English major or a published author. My proofreaders and
I will make sure your story reads well and is grammatically
correct.
Taking part in the D.E. at Putnam during the club race weekend was a great thrill for me as always. I still have a hard time
believing that anyone can take their car out on a racetrack
and run as fast as they dare. That is one of the benefits to
being in the Porsche club. Be sure to use your club benefits
this month by showing your car at Rallye Porsche Mariemont
or attending Autumn Thunder. And remember...

OVR’s year is not complete without our traditional End
of Year Party. It’s the event that rewards service to the
club, passion for the brand, and commitment to the cause.
Many of our members will be recognized, including our
‘Rookie of the Year’, our ‘Comeback Player of the Year’
and our ‘Most Enthusiastic Club Member’. As always,
there will also be a box full of door prizes. The agenda will
be fast paced. The convening starts with cocktails and
socializing. The story swapping and catching-up with each
other will continue over brunch. We’ll then transition into
our highly anticipated awards ceremony. Even though
there are many outstanding performances to recognize,
our awards ceremonies are traditionally short. It is one
thing to acknowledge greatness; it’s another thing to bore
ourselves with it. Afterwards we will continue socializing
while our hard-working OVR Board members oversee
the bench races. The newer members can expect to be
overtly welcomed. You will find that your fellow Porsche
enthusiasts are rarely without an issue to discuss, or an
opinion to express. We scheduled this event early in the
holiday season. It only makes sense. We Porsche people
know that the best is always first.
For more details contact Bill Kief at HighSpeeDriving@
gmail.com
Have fun with your Porsche this month.

Grant Karnes- Event Chair
GET READY FOR RALLYE PORSCHE MARIEMONT
(RPM) ON OCTOBER 6, 2013!
Mark your calendars now! The second annual RPM, or
Rallye Porsche Mariemont, OVR’s signature event, will
be held on Sunday, October 6. We had a fantastic turnout last year and are expecting hundreds of Porsches to
adorn the charming Village of Mariemont this year.
RPM Rallye Porsche Mariemont is on FACEBOOK! Be
sure and “Like” us and stay abreast of the latest news for
the 2013 event.
Registration for the 2013 Rallye Porsche Mariemont event
is open. Check our website: http://www.ovrrpm.com.
If you missed this event last year, be sure and join us on
October 6. The German Beer Garden was a big hit and
participants from OVR and the surrounding PCA regions
enjoyed a beautiful fall day admiring a variety of Porsches
and socializing in the Village. Spectators from the community joined in the fun to view special displays and vote
for the awards.
RPM Road Tour
John Patterson- RPM Rallyemaster
Rally: noun, an organized automobile run, esp. of sports
cars on public roads, designed to test driving skills…per
Webster’s New World Dictionary, 2nd. Edition.
Again this year, our annual signature event will be
launched with a casual rally through picturesque Boone
County, KY. We’ll start at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, at
the Holiday Inn Cincinnati Airport parking lot, 1217 Airport
Exchange Blvd., Erlanger, KY (take I-275 to Exit 2 Mineola
Pike).
Total rally length is about 65 miles and 2.5 hours (excluding midpoint break), mostly over two lane roads through rural countryside. The route is very hilly with lots of twisties
but very few “put your foot down” sections. There are few
amenities or gas stations en route but there will be a brief
midpoint “health” stop at Big Bone Lick State Park.
No treats or prizes as with some rallies, but you will be
rewarded with some great views of the most beautiful
countryside in the Midwest…all for $10!
Register for the Rally at www.ovrpca.org and we will send
complete tour details to your e-mail address. Or simply
show up at the rally’s origination point with $10 at 2:30 p.m.

Mid-Ohio Driver’s Education Event
Dennis Okin - Event Chair
Where: Mid-Ohio Racecourse
When: October 11, 12, & 13
Autumn Thunder at Mid-Ohio is less than 10 days away!!
Have you registered yet? Run groups are quickly filling
up. Join us for a great Driver’s Education event at one of
the most renowned road courses in the Midwest. Friday is
a lapping day for only more advanced drivers (those that
have run with us in at least 10 prior events). Saturday and
Sunday will offer plenty of track time to all in traditional DE
format.
Friday night will be our traditional pizza party where you
will meet your instructors and other OVR friends. We have
wonderful hotel discounts arranged with the Quality and
Comfort Inn hotels. Be sure to mention our OVR discount to enjoy the $85.00 per night room rate. If you are a
newer driver nothing is needed; we have plenty of loaner
helmets. Sign up and other information can be found at
www.clubregistration.net.
If you have any questions please contact Dennis Okin at
[email protected] or 513-300-5076.
Try a Driver’s Education Event
Dennis Okin-Event Chair
Try a Driver’s Education event if you have never
been… If you have been then you know how great
Mid-Ohio is!!!!!!
Our region will host a driver’s education event this coming
October 12th and 13th at the highly regarded Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course. This fine track is less than 3 hours from
the greater Cincinnati area, and less than 1 hour from the
greater Columbus area.
This Annual Autumn Thunder Drivers Education Course provides drivers with an exciting weekend activity where safety
and fun are the most important rules. If you have never driven
a road course in your Porsche or other type of vehicle, it is an
exhilarating experience. You will drive this course with one of
our many talented instructors.
First timers: There will be two classroom sessions over the
weekend which will help you understand the course, your
car and performance driving. The first driving session will
be without helmets. Your instructor will drive the first two
laps at a moderate speed showing you the corner worker’s
locations, the proper driving line around the track and a brief
demonstration of your car’s braking capabilities. Then you
pull into the pits and you swap places in your car. This is
where the real fun begins. You will slowly become more familiar with the track and your car’s performance and handling
attributes. During subsequent run sessions on Saturday and
Sunday, you will improve your driving and knowledge of the
track. At some point on Sunday your instructor will probably
allow you to solo on one of the most famous road courses in
the United States!! Please remember safety is our number
one priority and you will drive to your own safe limits which
greatly improve over the weekend.
You do not need to do anything to your car for this event. You
do not need a helmet as our region has many loaner helmets.
All you need are long sleeved shirts, closed toe shoes and
we guarantee you will go home with a huge smile on your
face.
An added bonus is the Friday night pizza party where you
will meet your instructor and the other wonderful people who
keep coming back to this event.
Still not sure? Try our Taste of the Track program which
allows you to drive the first run session only and attend a
classroom session. After driving the first session, if you want
to complete the weekend, just pay the difference of a normal
registration.
Many of your friends in the Ohio Valley Region have done
these driver education events and can tell you more.
To register go to Club Registration at the following link:
www.clubregistration.net.
Past drivers, don’t miss out …register soon…you know you
want to be there!!!!!!
Time is running out, register soon; there are still some garages also available. Don’t miss this great event. For many of
you this will be your last DE of the year …….no better place to
do it than Mid-Ohio.
If you have any questions about this exciting event please
contact me at [email protected] or call me at 513-3005076.

Salute to John Dixon Event Aug. 24
Steve Nelson - OVR Concours Chair Photos by Dave Raum
Early in August, I made an informal visit to White-Allen
Porsche in Dayton. Tim Brookhart, Sales Manager,
waved me into his office where he was meeting with the
Regional Sales Manager for Porsche. As I walked in,
Tim looked at me and said, “Well, I bet I know why you’re
here. You want to do an event, don’t you?” After some
initial conversation, we looked at each other, recognizing
what it was that we were about to do. In Dayton, many
of the OVR PCA events, shows and rallies, often have
the Taj Ma Garaj as part of the event if not the host of the
event. This time however, it was clear that the event we
had in front of us was to center around John Dixon, owner
of the Taj and contributor to many things charitable and
Porsche related.
There was not much time to plan the event, so I had to
hustle due to the special nature of it. To that end, I want
to immediately say thanks to several OVR friends for
offering their assistance in letting me know what I needed
to do and in the details of how the event would work.
White-Allen Porsche sponsored the event and gets a big
thank you from all of us.
The time leading up to the event was hectic because this
was going to be a once-only event. Not until the morning
of the event did we know how many people we would
have. Extra security was provided for the Taj inside and
outside to coordinate parking for the many folks who did
not register and parked non-Porsche sweet rides on the
street.
Everything fell into place which shows what a great group
of folks we have in OVR PCA. I made several new friends
who also provided much assistance, especially on the day
of the event. Most of our registrants paid at the door, and
we had many who did not register because they did not
bring a car. We had just under 100 Porsches, including
a 910, plus a small group of about 14 non-Porsche cars
that included a 1965 Cobra and a 1949 Alfa-Romeo 6C.
Our awards were for the Top 15 cars judged by popular
vote. Paul and Mary Siegel took top honors for their 1965
356 SC and 1963 356, respectively. Thanks again to all
of you who helped and who attended.
I spoke with John Dixon a few times leading up to the
event, and every time he was very helpful and offered
assistance. He said to me that he was blown away that
anyone would do this for him and that he was quite
humbled by it; “I think this is great, I am humbled.” I let
John know that everyone would love to see him at the
Salute but that if he does not feel up to it, it’s OK.
Present were many friends, great cars, excellent live
music, great food, and fantastic weather. Some of John’s
friends said a few words about their friendship with John.
His daughter thanked us for the years of friendship. It
was a great Salute to John Dixon. It is our pleasure in
knowing him.
Editor’s Note: John Dixon passed away August 31, 2013.
Our condolences to his family and friends. OVR will miss
him and remember his support for the club over the years.

Concours Perspectives
Ted Hunter - OVR Member-At-Large
If you look at the top picture on the cover of the August
2013 Bent Pylon, our 1962 356B Coupe is the closest car.
The car behind ours with the engine deck lid open is a
1963 356 2000 GS Carrera 2. The owner worked over 10
years restoring the car himself. The roadster to the right
of our car is a 1961 356 Super 90 Roadster. Out of 300
possible Concours points in Full Concours Restoration
Class and at least 2 separate judging episodes, the Roadster scored 299.1 points. It came in second place to the
Carrera 2, with 299.3 points. That is the level of Concours
readiness that our car was next to.
Why do we do it? Our 356 is nowhere near that level of
restoration, nor will it ever be that perfect. But just to present our 356 in such a field is a challenge and an honor.
(Ergo, our first place was in Restoration Touring class.)
Half of this year’s Parade Concours entrants were in Street
Class, where only interior and exterior are judged. Many
of the Concours entrants started in this class and went on
to the Touring and Full Concours levels. Why do they do
it? Because they started with an idea of once a year doing
a very thorough cleaning of their special car, their Porsche.
Some found that their Porsche retained its beauty year
after year with annual concours-type cleaning (cotton
swab detailing) and it was easier to do as they became
more familiar with the nuts and bolts and crevices, and the
accumulating dirt was less and less.
My Point? OVR has several local, low-key, concours
events. Think about taking the opportunity to prepare
and show your Porsche at one of these events. OVR has
two events coming up in which to show your Porsche and
participate. The first is the VW-Porsche Reunion and the
second is the RPM event in Mariemont. Hope to see you
there with a nicely detailed Porsche.
TWO RECENT CONCOURS were held in our area. The
Keeneland Concours was held in Lexington, Kentucky
in July. On a beautiful summer day, the event included
several car corrals including Porsches, Mustangs and
Corvettes.
Six OVR Porsches were presented in the formal concours
event. They were:
•
Fred and Linda Haughey’s 1960 356A Cabriolet
•
Andy and Lesa Manganaro’s 1956 356 Speedster
•
Kim & Mac McGregor’s 1984 911 Targa
•
Tom & Michelle Cole’s 1968 912 Coupe
•
Jayde and Bill Kief’s 2012 Cayman R
•
Mike and Margaret Valentine’s 2005 Carrera GT
Kim and Mac McGregor took 2nd place in Class 9 (Sport
Contemporary) and Mike and Margaret Valentine took 2nd
in Class 16 (Future Classics). Congratulations.
Tom & Michelle Cole’s 1968 912 Coupe
In a less formal setting, the HAMILTON-FAIRFIELD
ANTIQUE AND CLASSIC CAR PARADE was held in late
July also. This event was a low-key judged concours and
then a parade through the streets of Hamilton and Fairfield. The event started with rain, but stopped in time for a
dry drive. The streets were lined with spectators and lots
of waves and smiles.
Porsche had its own class, sponsored by OVR. Ted and
Kathie Hunter won the class with their 1962 356B Sunroof
Coupe. Also entered were James Debord in a 1976 930
Turbo and Linda Savage in a 1974 914 2 liter.

Club Race Wrap up
Rich Rosenberg- Co-Race Chair
The 2013 Club Race is now history. We had a great
weekend with a larger number of DE drivers and a few less
racers than last year. The weather was absolutely perfect
with low 80 temps, low humidity and a slight breeze. The
weekend was run right on schedule for which I received a
couple of positive compliments. The three race co-chairs
want to thank all the volunteers, too many to list, who
helped before and during the race weekend. Most of you
have been there year after year and we appreciate your
help. I think everyone enjoyed the weekend even if they
didn’t get track time. There was a significant amount of
track time available for the DE drivers as well as the racers. We received an excellent report from the national
steward who is in charge of the actual race during the
weekend.
Thanks to our Premier sponsor Porsche of the Village as
well as our Silver level sponsors: Performance Alignment,
U.S. Race Gear, Joseph Porsche at Kings Auto Mall, Eurosports Racing and Monroe Collison Center. Without the
support of our volunteers and local sponsors we wouldn’t
be able to host this event.
