Look for the parking Corral as you enter the park at the bottom of the hill. However, please keep in mind this Porsche parking Corral is a self-policing perk extended to us by the Ault Park organiz- ers for Porsche car drivers to congregate. If you are driving your Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Vista Cruiser Station Wagon with Wood Paneling that day, Porsche Club member- ship does not extend a parking space to your Oldsmobile, or for that matter your Yugo, Simca, Renault, Fiat or Lada. But if you want to drive your Tatra that day, talk to me and I will get you special dispensation to park in the Porsche Corral. So come early, stay late, all your Porsche friends will be there. If I get there first, I will chalk a blue line on the ground Peck Hannaford + Briggs at the entrance. If you get there first, you rub it out.

We had two run groups of ten. There P5 Cayman S Josh Snyder 51.311 was one 996 that would not always trip the finish timer; the P6 911 Mike Tepley 45.820* FTD men driver claimed an invisible stealth technology was to blame. P6 996 Stacey Frick 51.719 But other than giving the occasional extra run, the new wire- less timer was easy to set up and use. P6 911 Steve Schultz 52.542 One Cayman S driver came only to watch, but we quickly P7 997 Chris Whittaker 49.439* talked him into driving. I accepted his promise to pay the P8 996 Turbo Eric Greene 48.176* entrance fee at the next board meeting. He was in my run M2 996 David Brown 56.983* group, so I didn’t get to see if he was having fun, but he ran all ten runs and helped pick up the track, so I think that indicates M2L 911T Jackie Bergdahl 48.829*FTD women he had a good time.

9 Wine Tasting 2013 Jerry Wolf, Past OVR Winemeister This year, when we couldn’t come up with a car theme All in all it turned out to be another fun OVR Wine Tast- location for our annual Wine Tasting event, we decided to ing. The facilities at the Schoolhouse were excellent. A full give the Little Red Schoolhouse in Indian Hill a try. I’ll admit kitchen allowed us to serve some hot food as well as the I was a bit concerned when it looked like our attendance usual cheese and crackers. Great Porsche parking was was going to be off. However, as the 55 or so attendees available and we didn’t have to rent tables and chairs. proved, you can still have a great successful event if it is Thanks Grant for chairing a great event. for a good cause, the location is interesting and very well suited, the price is right, there is a great selection of fine wine, and last but not least, a gathering of OVR members and friends.

Autioneer Frank Albi and Winemeister Grant Karnes.

OVR members sampling the wine before the auction.

Our Winemeister Grant Karnes did an outstanding job with the wine selections. We had 8 whites and 15 reds ranging in price from $12 to $65 with all having very good to out- standing Wine Spectator ratings. Most selections were from California but Italy, Germany, Spain, New Zealand and Aus- tralia were also represented. The best bargain was the Wolf Blass Yellow Label 2010 Shiraz at $11.99 which received a WS 88 rating. The Schloss Vollrads 2011 Riesling was a delightful selection for those times when you want some- thing with a mouthful of flavor and just a hint of sweetness. It retails for $19.99 and has an outstanding WS 90 rating. Think you can’t find a highly rated Italian red for under $50? Check out the Ornellaia Le Volte ’09 Toscana IGT. It has a WS 90 rating and retails for $27.99. Many red wine con- noisseurs thought that the $64.99 Chalk Hill 2009 Estate Red was under rated at 92 and, while the $39.99 Kuleto Estate’08 Syrah was an excellent wine, it was maybe over rated at 93. Which just goes to prove that you should drink what you like and just use the experts’ opinions as a guide. The auction was as lively as ever with Frank Albi in great form as auctioneer. Thanks to all who attended and espe- cially those who helped us get rid of the reserve stock that was auctioned off. We should be able to send our charities, both the One Way Farm Children’s Home and the Chil- dren’s Tumor Foundation some nice checks.

The winter coats were put away, and even a few on behalf of the club to make this year’s event a rousing beads of sweat were seen on drivers exiting their cars with success. For those who arrived to drop off trailers and cars big smiles on their faces. The ranks thinned out a bit after on Thursday afternoon, they were greeted with an unusual lunch, but the hard core stayed until the final checkered sight.

A few of us were able to talk with some of their driving instructors, and were much impressed with their program and their level of expertise. Friday arrived cold and damp with dreary skies. Instruc- tors and solo students had to take it easy as the tempera- tures never made it out of the forties all day. The only hot spot was sitting in Bruce McKenney’s Honda in the hot pit area. Thanks to Bruce for handling hot pit duties and the black flag station for the entire three days. Mid-Ohio had received a significant amount of rain prior to the event, so drivers were greeted with running water at several loca- tions on track. My thanks to all drivers on Friday for being aware of the poor conditions, as we were able to make it through with only a couple of issues. Tired, cold and worn out, Friday folks met those students arriving for Saturday and Sunday sessions at the event Check-in Friday night run by Susan Okin, Lynne Burnett headquarter hotel, the Quality Inn, where all were treated (registar), and Sandy Beck. to a pizza party in conjunction with registration and tech inspection. A fine evening of bench racing ensued. Instruc- tors were introduced, and all registrants received mechanic style gloves with the Porsche name and logo embossed on them. Saturday morning found 160+ drivers and instructors anxious to get on track. Hot coffee and hot chocolate were in great demand at garage 7 as the morning temps were in the thirties. After the driver and instructor meetings, the day’s sessions began in earnest. Conditions again were less than optimal, but that did not deter the enthusiasm of the drivers. As the day wore on track conditions improved slightly, and all looked forward to the sunny and warm Chief Instructors Jerry Wolf and Dale Timmester. (finally!) forecast for Sunday. At the close of sessions Saturday, 35 or so hearty students stayed on to participate in a track walk. OVR instructors manned six corners; students were divided into groups, and spent ten minutes at each station, then drove on to the next one. This was well received by all, and we plan to do this again. For once the weatherman got it right. Sunday morning found all staring at clear skies, low wind, with a forecast in the sixties by noon. Cars that had previously not turned Instructor sessions were busy. 12 Spring DE at Mid-Ohio Racecar Course Photos by Daniel Mainzer Photography and Wade Huston
