President, OVR PCA
the New Year and solicits input from the
members for 2014.
So now it is time to work with much
comity (that’s the one with the ‘t,’ not the
other letter) as we venture out from the
current sub-zero temperatures into the
brave new world of 2014.
One of the things we plan to expand is
the availability of scheduling information
on the website. With that in mind, I have asked all of the
different officers and chairpersons to forward all relevant
information to our webmaster. In addition, and this is the
solicitation portion of the article, I once again ask for input
from the membership on things that you would like to do.
Or do more of.
A recent trip in the Way Back Machine brought the August
1975 edition of the Bent Pylon to the President’s hand.
Notification of scheduling for the club events was a bit
different then, including a full page map giving directional
help to the GE Park Concours. This edition of the Bent
Pylon was produced just after the last glacier had receded
from Winton Woods but while they were still serving saber
tooth tiger burgers in the company mess tent. And they
had not put a bridge over Rt. 747 to carry rail traffic.
In the new members section, John Meyer with his silver
1968 912 soft window Targa was welcomed to the club
along with eight other new members: Ron Goener, James
Hill, Reni Rice, Hank Willig, Mike Patterson, Stephen Tuzzolino, Steve Barger and Ron Landthorn. Are you still out
there? The club, like time, but unlike the Luddite President,
evolves and marches on.

years.

Wade Huston- Editor, Bent Pylon
Howard Renner - OVR Member
Happy New Year! In early December I
received a scan of the September 1963
Panorama. It contained a special section featuring the Ohio Valley Region
which had just been created in 1961. I
will try to reprint some of the articles
here in the Bent Pylon in the following
months. The theme of the articles is to
have fun with your Porsche and be with
others who are interested in doing the
same thing. Fifty years later, the club exists for the same
reason.
Driving the Back Roads
The current board members and event chairs are planning club events for 2014 with the first one, the Chilli Party,
on Feb. 1. The registration for the first driver’s education
event is already open; see page 8. These and this years
upcoming events are held so that you and other club members can have fun with your Porsches. Keep watching the
website calendar and the Bent Pylon for information.
The new Zone 4 representative, Michael Soriano, introduces himself on page 19. Ron Carr has done a great job
for the last 4 years, but is now passing the baton. Zone 4
includes 12 regions and the zone rep. is there to assist all
of the regions in communicating with each other and with
the national office. If you need help with other regions,
send Michael a note.
This month’s BP has two road trip reports and one ownership story. Do you enjoy reading these articles? Why
don’t you write one of your own? Short or long, it doesn’t
matter as long as it pertains to the club and/or enjoying
your Porsche. Don’t worry about not being an English
major. My proofreaders, spell check and I will work with
you.
Pictures are nice also. You can e-mail me any pictures
you think other members might like to see.
Technical articles are welcomed. I recently changed the
motor mounts in my ‘94 Carrera and took pictures as I
went along. I’ll try to do an article soon, but I would much
rather another member write up their own experience.
Porsche A.G. has recently introduced two new models: the
911 Targa and the Macan. They are not available to drive
yet, but your Porsche is. So....
In October Janet and I made a short trip to the Hilton
Head area of South Carolina. I enjoy driving; frequently I
take the back roads. On the return portion of this trip we
traveled to Athens, Georgia to visit our granddaughter at
the University of Georgia. Our return home from Athens
turned out to be quite interesting.
US 129 in western North Carolina is fairly well known
for a section of road called The Dragon’s Tail. I believe
there are something like 300+ curves over an eleven mile
stretch of the road. The bikers in particular find this road
a challenge. For our trip home from Athens I decided
to take US 129, but I consciously chose not to run The
Dragon’s Tail because we would be traveling on a Sunday. Weekends are a particularly busy time on this road
with “crotch rockets” testing their skills, and I didn’t care to
be included in this activity. My plan was to travel US 129
up to N.C. and then divert over to the Smokies.
I had no advance knowledge of this area of the country.
The road was a normal back road, i.e., a typical rolling,
winding type of road. But after we passed Cleveland,
GA things changed. We began to drive up a mountain.
The further we went, the better it got. It became a very
enjoyable, somewhat challenging (if you choose to make
it so) road. For a better understanding of this section
of road, on YouTube call up: https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=5M-hwgr_1Xg&feature=youtube_gdata. I have
since learned that this area is known as Blood Mountain.
As luck would have it there were no other cars on our
side of the road. We met only four cars that were coming
down on the other side of the road. When we got to the
top of the mountain, I pulled into the rest area (shown at
the end of the video). As I was getting out of the car, I noticed a biker standing across the parking area looking at
me and my ‘07 Carrera. I commented, “This is as good as
the Dragon’s Tail.” He replied, “No, it’s better.”
So, if you enjoy driving, take the back roads. You may not
be able to go as fast, but you will enjoy the drive more.
Once we cleared the Smokies we followed I-40 and I-75
to get home. Yes, we went faster; if you don’t drive 80
to 85 mph, you get run over. For me this type of drive
is much less enjoyable. An enjoyable drive on the back
roads is more my cup of tea.
Have fun with your Porsche this month.
Do you have something to say to the club? Say it in the
Speaker’s Corner column. The subject is open as long as
it pertains to the club and/or Porsches. E-mail it to bentpyon@yahoo.com.

OVR End of Year Event Report
Randy Wilson - OVR Member and event co-host
A snow storm the night before couldn’t stop us from having a fun filled OVR End of Year event on December 7th.
It was touch and go for a while when event chair Donna
Spells-Wilson and I first arrived at Brio’s early that Saturday morning. The sun shone bright, but it was still blustery
cold and some roads were icy and treacherous to drive,
especially in a Porsche (unless you had mad skills and
some of us did). Not knowing what the turnout would be,
because of the weather and the pre-registration numbers,
Donna prepared for fifty-eight guests and by last count,
fifty-two attended.
With the help of some Brio’s staff we decorated the tables.
While watching the brunch being set up, we held our
breath and waited. Gradually the anxiety subsided, as
members and guests started to enter, sign in and relax
with a warm beverage. Each attendee received a gift bag
containing an OVR book mark, an OVR pencil, an OVR
can cozy, assorted candies, and raffle tickets. The tables
were decorated with festive colors, a variety of candy
canes, and some mini toy cars to play with if anyone got
bored (which we didn’t let happen).
Attendees were warmly greeted by Randy Wilson.
The event formally started with yours truly offering a word
of welcome to everyone and, to Donna’s surprise, my
quickly screwing up the order of the agenda. But everyone
was having a good time and hardly noticed a gaff I made
introducing Dennis Okin as M.C. The delicious food was
served buffet style and there was plenty for all. After most
had enjoyed their first pass at the buffet, John Meyer, our
President, said words of welcome and presented awards
to this year’s OVR chapter winners. The recipients were:
The Howard Rapp Award: Paul and Mary Siegel
Rookie of the Year: Tom Cole
Comeback Player of the Year: Brent Fagan
Enthusiast of the Year: Dennis Okin
Please offer your congratulations to each of them.
To add a little more fun to the occasion, a raffle was held
for various Porsche related gear, which ranged from car
maintenance items such as Griot’s products, a Porsche
key chain, a PCA beer glass with sparkling cider, to a
Porsche “No Parking” sign and other prizes.
We want to offer special thanks to Brio’s Café management and staff for great food, drink and hospitality and to
our OVR members Bill Kief, Brent Fagan, and Steve Nelson, who helped Donna plan and pull off an event which
we hope everyone who attended truly enjoyed.
Editors Note: Paul and Mary Siegel’s story is on page 11.

Spring Driver’s Education at Mid-Ohio
Gary Nichols - Event Chair
Greetings to everyone. It is time to kick off our 2014 driving
year by formally announcing our annual Spring Driver’s
Education Event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, in Lexington, Ohio. It will take place April 4, 5, and 6. As you read
this, registration is now open for the event. We hope you
will sign up early and join us at one of North America’s top
road courses. Go on-line at www.clubregistration.net to
register for this event.
We will follow our usual format with Friday as a lapping
day for instructors and qualified solo students (10 or more
previous DE events) and a 2-day DE on Saturday and
Sunday with four student run groups and one instructor run
group. The usual four runs per group per day schedule will
be in place. As always we will have classroom sessions for
novice and advanced student groups, and all in attendance
are welcome to attend those classroom sessions whether
driving or not.
We will offer our Taste of the Track program on Saturday
morning for anyone wanting to get a brief introduction to
DE events for the modest fee of $25.00.
Friday evening we will gather at our host hotel, the Quality
Inn in Bellville, for registration, tech inspection, meet and
greet, and OVR hospitality. There will be pizza, snacks,
and liquid refreshments for all. We encourage you to arrive and register Friday evening if at all possible. Saturday
arrivals will need to go thru tech inspection and registration before being able to drive. Be sure to book your hotel
accommodations at the Quality Inn, or their sister hotel, the
Comfort Inn across the street, and mention you are with
OVR PCA to get our group rate of $84. We have a block of
rooms reserved for the event.
I am pleased to announce that Thomas Crihfield will be
Co-Chairman with me for this event and the spring event
in 2015. Tom has run tech inspection for the past few years
and will take over the event completely in 2016. I am sure
Tom will do a fine job as he transitions to Chairman.
Your registrars for this event will again be Lynne and Jim
Burnett, and yes, they live in Florida. The Burnetts have
agreed to perform this duty for the next two years, making the long trip to Ohio to spend time with us, and we all
thank them for their hard work and dedication making this
event successful. You can contact them at e-mail: delmonte108@hotmail.com with any questions.
Prices will remain the same for garages and entry fees as
they were in 2013. While track rental has increased 2%,
we have agreed to hold the line on fees to entrants. Register early. Fees go up $50.00 across the board thirty days
prior to the event. We do offer options to those who may
not be able to make the entire weekend. Thanks to your
support and the great attendance we’ve had in the past,
OVR has one of the least expensive fee structures for DE’s
at Mid-Ohio.

Garage holders from April 2013 should look for an e-mail
including some important changes to the garage rental
process that are being made for this event this year.
Anyone that did NOT have a garage that is interested in
one should e-mail the Registrar to get on the first-come,
first-served wait list.
We look forward to renewing old friendships and making new ones in April. As always we welcome drivers and
enthusiasts of all experience levels, first timers as well as
the veteran drivers, and all marques as well as Porsche.
Come and join us!

First Time at a Mid-Ohio Driver’s Ed.
Josh Snyder - OVR Member
Remember the first time you rode a roller coaster? You
watched from a distance, questioning the sanity of what
you were about to do. Butterflies built up to a frenzy in
your stomach as you stood in line. Then once you were in
motion, everything else faded away and your mind focused
solely on the moment. You became acutely aware of the
track streaming by, the click-clack of the rails below, and
the g-force applied to your body as it shifted with each
change in direction. Now take the intensity of that experience and double it. Instead of passively riding along on a
predetermined path, you’re actively driving not just any car,
but your Porsche. That’s what it’s like at your first DE.
Thursday night of my first DE weekend I might as well have
been a kid starting at a new school the next day. I couldn’t
sleep as my mind played and replayed possible scenarios
as I imagined what exciting things might happen in the
coming days. After finally falling asleep, I was up so early
Friday morning my alarm was not needed. The 160 mile
trip to Mid-Ohio was made easier by following my instructor, Grant Karnes, and the curvy hips of his beautiful red
Cayman S.
Shortly after we arrived, Grant was on the track and I was
left to explore my weekend home on my own. I wandered
around the perimeter of the infield, my gaze following the
beautiful machines as they circled around me again and
again. Standing on the hill overlooking Madness with the
autumn sun on my face and a pleasant breeze in my hair,
anticipation grew within me knowing that in less than 24
hours I would be the one circling.
Later in the afternoon, I stood on the balcony of the garages overlooking the front straight listening to the throaty
roar of three or four Vipers, the jet engine scream of a
couple of 996 Turbos, and that sweet sound that’s so hard
to describe, yet so unmistakable, of the countless naturally aspirated flat sixes. And who could forget the Switzer
tuned Nissan GTR that would shoot flames from its dual
exhaust when lifting off the throttle at the end of the front
straight.
After another restless night, I arrived at the track early
Saturday morning. At the edge of the paddock I looked up
the front straight as the first rays of daylight streamed over
the trees beyond the Carousel and engines revved to life,
shattering the silence of an otherwise peaceful dawn. I
took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
the pavement that lie ahead.
My words alone can’t do justice to what it’s actually like to
drive a full lap of Mid-Ohio, but here’s my best attempt at
a beginner’s guide. Turn 1 at the end of the front straight
is the fastest turn on the track and requires an uncanny
sense of trust in the grip of your tires. Take it as fast as you
dare. Track out and back to the left to set up for the chicane. Clip the curbing of 2 and tap the brakes hard at 3 to
set the wheels for turn in. Drive 4 and use the slight uphill
to brake hard. Turn in late for the double apex Keyhole turn
and clip the curbing again coming onto the back straight.
A well-driven chicane and Keyhole will leave the cars in
front of you wondering where you came from when you fill
their mirrors entering the back straight. Now put the pedal
to the floor for as long as you can stomach on the longest
straight of the track before braking hard to set up for the
hard right of turn 7.
Up and over Madness, brake uphill and get on the gas
early over the crest of the hill. A well-driven right-hand turn
9 sets up for the quick hitting turns that follow. Hug 10 tight
left, smooth out 11, and turn in late on 12. Manage the
throttle into Thunder Valley; otherwise the back end gets
squirrely. After a slight right, pilot the car unnaturally close
to the guard rail on the passenger side before turning
into 14. To get the Carousel right, drive like you’re going
straight off the track toward the stands beyond the wall
before turning hard right, then quickly back on the gas. You
know you drove it well if you accelerate hard over a slight
bump in the road before a gentle downhill left opens to the
front straight and you get to do it all over again!
After our first run at speed with helmets on, Grant told me
to hold out my hand as we were exiting pit lane. He knew it
would be shaking, but I think he wanted to see how much. I
tried to hold it as steady as possible, but we could both see
it fluttering like a leaf in a gentle breeze. I smiled behind
the face guard of my helmet, feeling truly alive. For the
second run on Sunday morning I was allowed to run a session solo. As I pulled into pit lane, I held out my hand. Sure
enough, the shaking was back, but so was the smile.
After the driver’s meeting, a classroom session, and a controlled track session limited to 60 mph, it was finally 11:40
a.m. This was it! Time for my first real track laps limited
only by my ability and confidence as a driver. A funny thing
happens when you pull on a helmet. It’s like a cocoon for
your mind. Your focus narrows. Your thoughts zero in on
the task ahead of you. Thoughts of work, house projects,
family or anything else give way to the twists and turns of

Howard Rapp Award Winners
Paul Siegel - OVR Member
From Steve Nelson, Concours Chair: Paul and Mary Siegel are the winners of The Howard Rapp Award for 2013.
You may know that the award is for obsession with your
Porsche(s) and your garage. Paul and Mary have both.
The cars in their collection are beautiful and a couple of
them are run on the track. Their new garage is a showplace (the construction was managed by Mary) with heat
and air, with minimal cabinetry and surface space, but with
everything you need. Items are separated into spacious,
marked bins inside the cabinets so that you can find what
you need at a glance. Paul takes an organizer bag with all
that he needs to car shows. Here is Paul’s own account of
his Porsche journey.
After years of failing to talk Mary’s brother into selling us
their family’s ‘59 Morgan Plus 4 stored in her mother’s
garage, we finally decided to shift attention toward finding
a Porsche 356. At one of the car shows Dick Weiss and
Tom Oerther noticed me drooling over Steve Leiding’s
gorgeous Roadster. It must have been pretty obvious that
I had already contracted the dreaded “must have disease.”
Dick and Tom gave me their business cards and warned
me that there are a lot of sub-standard cars out there, and
offered to help guide Mary and me through the selection
process.
Soon Mark Schlachter of MetalMasters also got into the
process, and Mark actually flew out to Phoenix to evaluate
a Cabriolet for which we were just about ready to pull the
trigger. Good thing! Mark found any number of problems
on what had looked like the right car for us, and advised us
to run away from that deal as fast as we could! You can’t
imagine our disappointment since in our minds we had all
but decided that that would be our car.
Out of desperation we called European Collectibles out
in California and spoke with Jeff Trask. We explained our
recent disappointing experience and asked him what he
might have for us. We felt more and more comfortable with
Jeff as he had all the “correct” answers to 356 questions.
We also discovered that we had several common friends
from sailboat racing! He in no uncertain terms recommended we stop looking and purchase a sweet 356 B
Cabriolet he was offering. In a leap of faith we arranged a
deal for what would become Mary’s B Cab, sight unseen.
What a relief when it showed up at Mark’s shop and after
a thorough inspection Mark pronounced that we had hit a
home run with the purchase!
Even though the restoration of Mary’s “new” Cab was
done only thirty-three years old, a lot of elbow grease was
needed to bring the paint back to concours condition. In
2012 Rick Davin put a new interior and top on the car to
bring it back to the original specs, ruby red with tan interior.
And 2013 started off with a bang with Mary winning a trophy with her B Cab at the Ault Park Concours!
Alas, Mary’s car turned out so well that I wanted a 356 of
my own. I started the search for a “driver” 356. As is usually the case, this search took on a life of its own. Lots of
promising cars, but never the right one. Finally, I headed
to California to search for just the right “driver.” My first
stop was California Porsche Restoration. Wow! Gorgeous
restorations, restored to like new condition. But oh, so expensive! So on to European Collectibles where Jeff Trask
had not one but two coupes in my ideal color combo, black
with red interior. Back in 1959 my dad had ordered a black
with red interior Mercedes 190 SL for European delivery,
but when he got there it was red with tan interior! (He took
it any way, and ten years later, after I replaced the by that
time rusted out body, I ended up driving that car all through
college and Dental School.) So I really wanted a black with
red car to “close the loop.” I really desired the coupe Jeff
had that featured a sunroof, but there were issues such as
the color combination not consistent with the Certificate
of Authenticity. So he pulled the other coupe, a dusty old
black with red ‘65 356 SC, out of a storage shed. It looked
pretty sad, no radio, and only one hood latch holding up
the front bonnet when it was opened. I called Mary in disappointment and told her I had not found the right car.
But when I got home Jeff had sent me new pictures of the
SC after it had been cleaned up and it was starting to look
a lot better! It was an all numbers matching car, and as a
California car it had no rust. It had been restored ten years
earlier by European Collectibles. Once again we were
able to hammer out a deal which included Jeff putting in
a correct radio and also throwing in a tool kit. When it arrived a week later at Mark’s shop, we held our breath while
Mark gave it his usual thorough examination and finally
pronounced, “You did good!” Whew!
It always amazes me how going through the Griot’s system
of compounds, 3M Swirl Remover, and then P21S cleaner
will bring back a car finish. When a black car is dirty and
oxidized it can look downright homely, but oh my when it
is cleaned up it is stunning! My little “driver” was slowly
making the transition to show car status. Its first show was
scheduled to be Porsches to Ohio in Granville OH. Well,
P2O turned into H20 with a steady rain all day. After all the
work getting ready, what a disappointment. Mary decided
no way she would drive her Cab up there in the rain, and
I was just about to bail out also. But then I decided that
I had not acquired the car just to sit in the garage. Off I
went to Granville, with a fresh coat of RainX on the windscreen to keep from wearing out the wiper blades. When
all the rain had settled, the little black SC had won “Best in
Show!” From that moment on I decided that the SC would
indeed always be a “driver,” to be driven to as many shows
as possible as well as the occasional trip to Graeter’s for a
turtle sundae after dinner.

Trip to the Porsche by Design Exhibit
Jeff Clark - OVR Member Photos by Crystal Clark
Near Thanksgiving I was reading
Excellence and noticed an ad for
the North Carolina Museum of
Art exhibition Porsche by Design:
Seducing Speed. It sounded
fantastic, but here’s my problem;
I’ll hem and haw about packing the family up and driving 9
hours to Raleigh. My wife however will push me. I e-mailed
the ad over to her and in half an hour she called and said:
“I booked a hotel and bought tickets for the Porsche show.
We’re leaving Friday morning.” If it weren’t for her I wouldn’t
own the Porsches in my garage.
Every single car on display was noteworthy. There isn’t a
moment where you don’t want to pull up a chair and just
stare. Dan Gurney’s 804 Formula One car, the 904/6
prototype, the 908 K; your head is cranking around like
a barn owl. On the back wall of this display were more
racing cars. For me, these are cars that I would have no
chance of seeing in my lifetime unless I traveled to the
Porsche Museum: the beautiful and iconic Type 917K, the
917 16-cylinder, the 935, the 962C that ran the 24 hours of
Le Mans.
The weather was perfect when we left the house, dry,
bright and clear and there was very little traffic. I‘ve never
been to Raleigh before despite having been raised in
North Carolina. Seeing a new city sounded wonderful.
The drive took us through West Virginia, which I’ve driven
through before. But this time I noticed that every highway,
bridge, rest stop, mall, animal shelter, forest and coal mine
is named for Senator Robert Byrd. That’s quite an ego.
We arrived at the Museum of Art a few minutes after they
opened; the parking lot was already filling up with cars that
had come as far as Toronto and California. The dedication of the faithful never fails to inspire. Your first steps to
the display are down a flight of stairs and to my delight at
the bottom of the flight was a beautiful Cayman in Guard’s
Red.
The Panamericana concept car had a nice detail on the
tires, the Porsche crest was actually carved into the tread.
This car was given to Ferry Porsche on his 80th birthday.
Walking the queues builds the anticipation of the first car
you’ll see and it doesn’t disappoint; it’s the 1938 Porsche
Type 64 Berlin-Rom Racer which was supposed to race in
that year’s Berlin to Rome event but the race was canceled
due to the war. What’s interesting at these types of events
are the comments of people who know and those who
have no clue what these cars represent. One guy talking to
his wife insisted the car was not German but French.
There were 22 cars on display. It was a good visual of
Porsche’s heritage and DNA. I would have loved a hundred or more but that’s me. I had a six year old with me, so
22 was a good number.
The finale: the 901 prototype, the 1974 IROC 911 Carrera
RSR, and Ralph Lauren’s 1988 959. There was also a
Type 980 Carrera GT in silver and the 911 GT3 R Hybrid
race car prototype.
The last car I had to see was Janis Joplin’s 1965 356C
Cabriolet. The car was located in another building but
worth looking for. One of the members of her band painted the car “psychedelically.” It was remarkable. She had
it painted so that it would attract attention and encouraged
her fans to leave hand written notes under the windshield
wipers!
I really wanted to see Steve McQueen’s 1958 356 Speedster. It is a drop dead gorgeous black convertible oozing
every bit of its original owner’s “cool.” I think the car is
owned by his son Chad. Next to it was the flawless 1949
356 Gmund coupe.

Greetings PCA Zone 4 Members. Happy
Michael Soriano
Zone 4 Representative
New Year!
My name is Michael Soriano, and I am
excited and proud to be your new Zone
Representative. For several years members of the Executive Committee have
been asking me to take on a national position. However, I chose to remain in my
position as Region President to successfully complete many of the innovations
and projects which we had implemented in order to continue the growth and progress being made in my region.
After the Presidents’ Meeting in March 2013, Ron Carr approached me asking me to consider running for the position of Zone Rep., and after careful consideration, I did.
I’d like to thank Ron and Constance for all of their years
of service to PCA and for their valuable assistance to me.
I would also like to thank all of the Region Presidents that
nominated and endorsed my candidacy, and to the Executive Committee for their tremendous display of support.
As Zone Rep, I have already had numerous communications with Manny Alban and Vu Nguyen, and even more
with Ron. I’ve written and submitted my first newsletter article, begun planning and organizing the Presidents’ Meeting, arranged an all-day meeting with Ron, begun working
on the zone’s visit to the North American International Auto
Show, started setting up and arranging my travel plans for
the year, reviewed many of the upcoming events throughout the zone, and participated in my first Zone Rep conference call ~ and it’s only been 3 days.
All of your region officers and chairpersons are hard at
work scheduling an abundance of activities. Be sure to
check your local region’s website and newsletter for the
latest details on the many events close to you that are
being planned. Also, consider attending other regions’
