Positive Camber
With Jeff Clark, President and Turbo, illustration, Roger Warrick
Thank you to PCA because over the years I’ve developed a lot of Porsche friends. I’ve been around the country to Daytonas, Luftgekuhlts, Road Atlanta, Concours events in a couple of dozen states, etc. I’ve met Porsche luminaries: Patrick Long, Patrick Dempsey, Derek Bell, Justin Bell, Vic Elford, Magnus Walker, Jeff Zwart, and Hurley Haywood. It rarely mattered the context of the brief conversations because there is always a constant refrain and without exception, they all said at one point “These cars are meant to be driven”
“At dawn when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work - as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for - the things I was brought into this world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?””
My 911 4s is a 2006 model with about 32000 miles on her. When I acquired the car in 2020 she had about 22300. I’ve put miles on this car, but not nearly enough. The previous owner, who clearly loved it, might have done 1500 miles a year, nowhere near enough to get the engine hot, hardened, or fully lubricated. The problem is while the car is not being driven, and not acquiring miles, she is still aging. The average American puts 10,000 to 15, 000 miles a year on their daily drivers. If my 911 was used half as much, she would be north of 170k miles and probably looking down the barrel at a well-earned engine rebuild. But it doesn’t.
I had my 911 out a few weeks ago at a rally when the engine started bogging down. It was as if we had bad gas, plugs, coils or the mass airflow sensor had failed. No, it was much worse. Details don’t matter but thank you to my trusted mechanic Yuri Rojas. Moral of the story is if you don’t use it, you will lose it. I don’t know what Porsche does to imbue their cars with souls, but we know that they have them and these cars insist on being used. Not abused, but driven, long, and enjoyed. Please get on with it. Your car with its low miles may be very pretty but its soul and parts are still aging.
I’ve tried to make a few road trips this summer. Between balancing work schedules and a young kid at home, vacations together can be trying. Anyway, my son and I were able to get out of town in mid-October and visit Chattanooga for the Motorcar Festival. This event took place first in 2019, skipping 2020, and resumed in 2021. I know this festival has flown under the radar this year as it happened within weeks of Rennsport. That’s a shame, it’s incredibly well run, the displays and variety of cars are amazing and the people of Tennessee are some of the nicest folks you’ll ever meet. We arrived at 8 am. Checking in was relatively smooth and a stack of cars already lined up and being tended to by their owners. We saw Justin Bell getting prepped for a full day of interviews and filming, we approached him and he couldn’t have been more friendly and outgoing. Ferrari Club had a great display. We walked up to the Ford GT corner and talked with those owners who were more than happy to stop primping their cars to show us every detail and talk about the history of their vehicles. Car people really are the best.
I felt like my head was on a swivel as I kept seeing auto celebrities everywhere. Donald Osborne of the Audrain Automobile Museum in Rhode Island walked by, and I said “Donald!” as though we were friends. He stopped, we talked, we shook hands, his voice is deeper and more musical in real life, btw. David Gooding of Gooding Auctions took a second and chatted up my son and I. Grand Marshall Luigi Chinetti Jr. ( his father was instrumental in developing Ferrari in the US) Wayne Carini, Chip Foose, David Hobbs, Kyle Petty. Adam LZ, all made themselves accessible for a handshake and maybe an autograph. Patrick Long and Jeff Zwart set up a Luftgekühlt display followed up with a talk with Brian Redman interviewed by Bob Varsha and a Q and A with the man himself. There was a decent contingent of OVR members and I’m fairly confident they would agree, if you have the time next year make the trek to Chattanooga and hang out for a few days. It’s a great getaway and you can see almost everything the festival has to offer in a single day if you keep moving.
Business: Vu Nguyen, our PCA Executive Director, was supposed to attend Rennsport. Several days before he was scheduled to leave for California he was feeling exhausted after playing Pickleball with his brother. He was getting winded and tired long before he normally would and was feeling weak in his left arm. He got in to see his doctor who sent him to a cardiologist and was admitted fairly quickly for tests. Mercifully he ended up having a stent put into his heart and is doing much better but missed Rennsport. He talked about it on the PCA podcast. We wish Vu the best. Your heart is not something to mess with. Glad his doctors caught it and got him fixed up.
I reached out to OVRs committee heads and Board Members and unanimously all are staying in their positions for another year. I cannot begin to thank you all for the incredible work you’ve done this year. It never ceases to amaze me the generosity our members have in giving up their time and talents to make this club work the way it does. We had more events in 2023 than we have ever had and attendance was at levels I could only dream of a few years ago. 100% of the credit goes to our amazing committee heads, their teams, and our Board Members. A heartfelt Thank You to each and every one of you.

No Meeting Was Held In September
Membership Update
Kathie Hunter, OVR Membership
As of September 1, 2023
We held our Annual Meeting/Party this past month at Horsepower Farms in Middletown. 150 members attended to enjoy the friendship, food and fun of the evening. We held an auction to benefit Marine Corps Toys for Tots and The Matt Haverkamp Foundation (which obtains, trains and donates police dogs to various police and sheriff offices). All items in the auction were donated, some bidding got quite spirited, and the resulting $1600+ was raised. As the Membership Chair I was excited to see a range of members from new with less than a year to one of our original 1961 members!
Our annual meeting calls to mind the 23 original members who formed Ohio Valley Region. We are sad to report the passing of Jerry Wolf, one of the original members. Jerry has been very involved from the formation to recently. A small group growing slowly, the members together worked hard at all the jobs for years to help the club grow into what we are today. Jerry has been involved the entire time holding office and chairing many committees over the years. We are better for his involvement. From administration, newsletter, autocross, social, track, national committees, he has been a constant advisor and involved member. He will be missed. We extend our sympathy to Frieda and family.
We go quiet for a month or so while the holidays take precedence, but look forward to information of 2024 events unveiled on the revamped ovrpca.org website and via eblasts. Keep your information current with National PCA office so that you receive the eblasts promptly.

Alcohol And OVR/PCA Events
Jeff Clark, OVR President
I have been recently asked about PCA policy regarding the use of alcohol at any of our events. It is as follows:
“THE PCA ALCOHOL USE POLICY The consumption of alcohol during competitive driving events is forbidden. After the competition has been completed, a driving event can be treated like any other gathering of PCA members. At such gatherings of PCA members, the availability of and consumption of alcohol is not forbidden. Further, PCA insurance policies do not prohibit the consumption of alcohol at PCA gatherings. However, good risk management practices require a common sense approach to the administration of PCA gatherings where alcohol is available. Many Regions already utilize intensive and well thought-out practical measures to control the availability and consumption. There are a number of risk management techniques available and Regions are encouraged to share techniques that have been utilized successfully with fellow Club members. PCA’s objective is to practice good risk management at PCA events in order to protect our Club and its members from incidents and accidents.”

Autumn Thunder… A Great Batch!
words Jeff Woodard
Ingredients:
130-150 Drivers
50-60 Instructors
10-15 Volunteers
Up to 200 cars
One of the top racecourses in the U.S.
A Friday night pizza party
The first step is to gather all of your drivers and instructors together through Registration
This starts months before the actual event and ends at the track. The heavy lifting is done by Susan and Dennis Okin. If you’ve been to one of our weekends, you’ll easily recognize Dennis’s name as he is your first contact. As we get close to the event Susan steps in, working to get all the spreadsheets and summaries completed. They do a very difficult job and we’re glad that we have them on the team.
At the track, everyone going through registration will meet Becky oodard, Rose Nichols and Anli McCoy. These ladies typically find themselves on the front line, not only getting every driver through registration but often answering questions about every aspect of the weekend.
The next step is to pair your drivers with your instructors.
One to two weeks prior to the event our Chief Driving Instructors will take all of our instructed drivers and pair them with the best possible instructor match. This is no small feat and was accomplished by our newest CDI’s John O’Brien and Bill Altvater. Bill and John are stepping in and taking over from Gary Nichols and Dale Timmister. Gary and Dale reviewed the pairings and gave a big thumbs up to the new CDI’s choices. Bill and John will be taking over full time this coming June. We look forward to having them in that role for quite a while.
Time to mix it up
Leading up to our weekend we have several individuals who prepare to haul our gear up to the track. Everything is sorted and distributed to guys like Brian Butt, Richard Wartenburg, and Dale Timmister who all help bring the necessary items up to give us a smooth and successful weekend. Much like hiking you need to bring everything with you and take everything home. We have some 25 loaner helmets, a tent, signage, cases of give away items, registration bins, party bins, coolers and radios that all have to arrive at the appropriate time and be ready to return at the appropriate time. This crew is indispensable.
Let’s add some volunteers!
As with any event in the club, our HPDE program wouldn’t happen without a large crew of volunteers. I’ve already mentioned a few of them, but we do have several that arrive just to help with activities throughout the weekend. We can thank David Parks who comes up to help with our pit out activities all weekend, making sure that everyone flows in and out of the hot pits without incident. A thank you to Ted Hunter who comes up and takes photos all weekend and his wife Kathie who jumps in to help with registration, our party and providing just general information to the drivers. Also jumping in are Anli McCoy and Rose Nichols who also worked registration and spent time answering drivers’ questions.
Just in case you haven’t noticed we have yet to even get to the track, so let’s do that now. Thursday evening, we have registration and load in, which includes some 70 Friday drivers/instructors. Friday morning is when everything comes together, and we start with a simmer of our initial ingredients.
We sprinkle in a Friday Drivers Meeting
I feel like this is what really kicks off our weekend. We have an incredible group of drivers on Friday, all of whom qualify for our expanded passing program. We all meet at garage 7 about 7:30 to get things started. Everyone is in a great mood and eagerly anticipating the track going hot at 8 a.m. Except for a 1-hour lunch break, the track is open until 4:30 and all drivers are encouraged to spend as much time on the track as possible. It’s not unusual to have a driver run laps for 45 minutes to an hour.
Let’s add a party/tech/registration
The pizza starts arriving at our host hotel about 5:30, but by then our tech guys are in full swing with Matt Griffin leading the way. Matt is our club’s safety chair and has the difficult position of infrequently informing drivers that their car does not meet the standards to attend the event. In most cases new brake pads or tires typically solves the problem. We are grateful to Matt and his guys for keeping everyone safe. Once our Saturday and Sunday drivers have gone through the tech line it’s time to hit registration inside the hotel and then join the pizza party. It is a great time for our newer drivers to get to know the instructors or just meet some new friends. I also want to thank everyone who helps with the clean-up following the Autumn Thunder party! We can’t do this without you. Finally, the main ingredient is Saturday/Sunday with as much track time as possible.
Now turn up the temperature and really cook
On Saturday morning we have 3 drivers’ meetings going on at the same time. Bill Altvater and John O'brien are handling the advanced drivers meeting and the instructors meeting. Meanwhile, our drivers in groups 2, 3 and 4 (Novice through upper intermediate) are in the Cooper tire building for their drivers meeting. A lot of information is presented in a short time, so attendance is critical. Ohio Valley Region purchased an additional 90 minutes of track time this weekend. This meant that the drivers were on track from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. except for our 1-hour lunch break. This is not a small thing as the track charges a substantial fee to keep their staff on property for the additional time. Everyone is so grateful for the additional time that they keep coming back time and time again to spend their time with our group.
By 6 p.m. I can tell you that both the staff and the drivers were worn out. After a quick dinner it’s time to get some rest before doing it again Sunday.
Combine all drivers into one meeting and instructors into another
Sunday morning it’s great to see everyone so happy so early in the morning, excited that Saturday was so incredible and ready to do it again. On Sunday afternoon we combine our two expanded passing groups and give them a full hour on track. We also reduce the run groups from 4 shorter sessions on track to a total of 3 sessions. This lets us extend that last session a bit longer giving the drivers a full 30 minutes for their last time on track for the weekend. Due to this we’re seeing a record number of drivers staying until the end of the day Sunday.
As any cook will tell you, the quality of the final product is dependent on many things, but the most important thing is to start with quality ingredients. We have that in spades, from our HPDE committee to our support staff, to our instructors, and of course our drivers. Having attended events with other regions and other groups, I have to say that from every aspect, our group is awesome.
Planning has started for 2024 and we will have our 2024 dates confirmed and posted on our website as soon as we have signed the contracts. However, our tentative dates are May 31st through June 2nd and October 4th through the 6th. Please put these dates on your calendar as soon as they’re confirmed. We do hope to open registration for June the week before Christmas, so if you need a gift, please keep us in mind.
If you’ve never done an HPDE event or if you’re a seasoned veteran, then you’ll want to keep an eye out for our Pro/Am event the end of February or the beginning of March. We will have a pro driver coming into Cincinnati on a Saturday to do the “Pro” part of the event. Our tentative schedule will be our instructors doing a morning session with our “Ams”, lunch with several of our vendor partners, followed by the “Pro” session. Our new drivers are welcome to stay for the second session to get a more detailed look at what our advanced drivers discuss. It will be a registered event so please look for the email blast the first of December with all the details.
A special thank you to my wife Becky who puts up with me throughout the year. Thank you to everyone who helps put on our program and thank you to everyone who attends. I hope each of you has a great holiday season and remember, if you’re having a bad day just go to the garage and peek under the cover. As always, keep those eyes up!
Jerry Wolf – An OVR and PCA True Believer
words Bill Altvater
I am very happy to share that our own Jerry Wolf has been awarded Enthusiast of the Year 2021 by the Porsche Club of America. This is the national award for the most deserving Porsche enthusiast.
Jerry was presented with the Porsche Club of America Enthusiast of the Year award in 2021.

As many Ohio Valley region members know, Jerry Wolf co-founded the PCA Ohio Valley Region in 1961 with Dick Weiss. Since that time, he has attended Monthly Board meetings and most club events. That’s 60 years (!!!) of commitment to OVR.
Jerry’s leadership and vision were essential in bringing OVR from a fledgling club of a handful of Porsche enthusiasts to the sprawling and successful organization it is today. He was the first Autocross Chair and has competed in about 200 OVR autocross events. His exceptional driving has earned him more than 100 trophies, including many Fast Time of the Day awards. He started the OVR DE program and became the CDI beginning in 1985. Jerry was an avid rally and tour participant as well as a Concours entrant.
Jerry has attended each Annual Meeting since their inception. He is a regular fixture and contributor at our monthly board meetings and multi-regional events such as Oktoberfest. Even through COVID, Jerry and Freda attended the March 2020 meeting and all 3 Tours during 2020. Jerry has also participated in three National Pa- rades, earning trophies in the AutoX and TSD Rallye events. In sum, his participation and commitment are unparalleled.
Jerry was instrumental in creating the OVR Red Line autocross series as well. The autocross events led to DE’s beginning in 1985. Jerry also hosted OVR’s first Chili Party which has grown into our New Member annual meeting. Jerry started and chaired the OVR Wine Tasting/Charity Fund Raiser for over five years.
Jerry is a key planner and organizer of many of the activities that have contributed to OVR’s growth. Jerry helped plan the 50th Anniversary Annual Meeting at Porsche of the Village with Bobby Rahal as the guest speaker. He hosted Board meetings at his home, which consisted of technical talks with a presentation. Since then, OVR has outgrown these accommodations and Board meetings are held in restaurant conference rooms and the like.
Jerry was the Chief Driving Instructor from 1985 through 2017. An amazing 31-year run! As Safety Chair Jerry worked with National DE Chair on developing a safety requirement addressing the Porsche GT3 coolant lines failure problem.
Jerry served as President of OVR for two separate terms totaling three years. He was the Autocross and Safety Chair for 10-15 years. Jerry wrote, published, printed, and distributed the Porsche Gazette and later the Bent Pylon newsletter for over 10 years. He chaired Rallies and Autocross many times and acted as Rallymaster and Tour Guide several times. Jerry presents on topics including autocross, DE driver and car preparation, track driving, and participant safety. As editor of the Bent Pylon, Jerry devoted many articles to car care and maintenance.
When he co-founded OVR in 1961 with Dick Weiss, he helped transfer approximately 30 members from the Kentucky Region. Jerry is an outspoken proponent of OVR. He put fliers with information about PCA and the Ohio Valley Region on every Porsche he saw. He also encouraged area Porsche dealers to provide contact information so OVR can communicate with them directly. In the past 60 years, OVR has grown from 30 members to 1173 and approximately 619 associate members including 50 new members this year. Jerry started the Ohio Valley Region’s first charity event, the Ohio Valley Region Wine Tasting to benefit HIV/AIDS and later One Way Farm and Children’s Home, an event that still exists today.
Jerry co-chaired the multi-region (mini-parade) Oktoberfest event for several years and participated in all the events, winning the 1st place overall trophy on three occasions. He was also active in the zone’s IRAC series for several years. In three of the five parades he attended (Ashville, Chicago, and Traverse City), Jerry took home trophies for autocross and rally. As DE Chair he attended several zone meetings and worked with the National DE Chair on developing a safety requirement addressing the Porsche GT3 coolant lines failure problem. He also worked with National on their Instructor training and certification program. Jerry was the Autocross Committee Chair for the 1993 Parade in Cincinnati and was a member of the Parade Committee.
In his 60 years, Jerry has played a key role in every position in OVR. Jerry has volunteered as an instructor at many DE’s outside of the Ohio Valley Region. He created OVR’s DE program and expanded it from an annual event to a bi-annual event. Many of the Autocross events were run at Kings Island in their huge parking lot.
Jerry was the Autocross Chair for the 1993 Parade in Cincinnati. He and Freda have attended the Cincinnati, Ashville, Traverse City, Chicago, and French Lick Parades.
He has been active in our club for 60 years. He’s been known as Mr. Smooth since his first 1960 Super Coupe. Everyone can recall when Jerry took them for a ride or had Jerry in the right seat of their car. I have great memories with Jerry in the right seat at VIR and Mid-Ohio. I will never forget riding in his GT3, a light touch on the steering wheel and crazy fast.
He has been a huge asset to the Ohio Valley Region since its inception. Jerry is always willing to help in any way he can. Most of our leaders have reached out to Jerry for thoughts, ideas, and ways to make events better, safer, and more enjoyable.
Jerry won the Pete Peters Member of the Year award twice. As a part of our 20-year celebration, he received a citation as an “outstanding member” from National.
Quite simply, Jerry is a remarkable person who never has a negative word to say about anyone. His leadership and stewardship serve as an example for all OVR members and have been critical components of the region’s success.
Jerry, Congratulations, and Thank You! on behalf of all the Porsche members that you have impacted in the last 60-plus years.

Remembering Jerry Wolf
Bill Keif OVR President 2011-2012
I first met Jerry & Freda at Union Terminal during the Saturday night Gayla for the 1993 Porsche Parade in Cincinnati. Jerry always had a warm handshake and was eager to share his vast Porsche knowledge. Our next Porsche event was a wine tasting at their home. Once again warm and inviting to a Neophyte Porsche Club couple in their 20s. My most exciting Jerry experience was early Sunday morning hot laps at Mid-Ohio. Jerry was sawing the wheel pulling every last MPH out of his Carrera as we entered Thunder Valley; no need for coffee! I can tell many more stories and I’m sure everyone else can too. Jerry will be missed.
Dennis Okin OVR President 2017-2018
I have met very few people I would consider to be an icon, Jerry was an icon. He was an extremely smooth talented driver with amazing car control skills who only used his fingertips to make a car do amazing things on a track.
A person who only wanted to help make you a better driver. After I received my 2016 Cayman GTS Jerry at 81 was leading me around Mid-Ohio in his GT3 and still teaching me as he had been for 20 plus years.
Most importantly Jerry was a kind, nice man who would drop anything to help anyone at a moment’s notice. He will be missed and everyone in OVR owes him a debt of gratitude. RIP Jerry
David Raum OVR President 2007-2008
When I first joined OVR back in the 1980s I had a 944 and started attending the clubs autocross events. Jerry was driving his black 911 in those days and was always in contention for winning the FTD (Fast Time of Day) trophy. I could never get close to Jerry’s times with the 944, so I eventually sold it and bought a 911. I still couldn’t beat Jerry, but he let me ride with him a few times and he showed me how I could shave off seconds per lap by braking later and harder, then getting on the gas faster. It took me until the following year when I was finally able to win an FTD trophy and Jerry was the first one to come up to me and congratulate me for my first FTD. He told me he knew it was only a matter of time before I won my first FTD because he could see me improving every event. I couldn’t have done it without Jerry’s help.
When I decided to start going to Drivers Education events at Mid-Ohio, Jerry was one of my first instructors. Jerry’s instruction was instrumental in my learning the driving line around that technical track. Len Vanderjagt was my second instructor at Mid-Ohio and Jerry gave me a great compliment when he told Len I was a smooth driver for having been a long-time autocrosser. Autocross drivers tend to jab on the brakes and then get hard on the gas, whereas when driving at a track like Mid-Ohio you have to be smooth with your braking and acceleration to be fast. Jerry would always take the time to help novice drivers with a tip or a ride around the track and offer words of praise and encouragement. I always looked up to Jerry as a driver, instructor, mentor, and friend. He will be missed greatly by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Bill Altvater OVR President 2019-2020
Jerry was known as Mr. Smooth on the track. You could ride with him at the track and just experience what he was able to do with the car. The next time you went out on the track you were quicker. He would give you a less violent ride and significantly faster at the same time.
He did everything that you could do on a regional basis, and he did many things at the national level as well. He participated in most everything that we did. Passionate about Porsche was always a level above anyone else I know.
We all will miss him.
Jeff Clark OVR President 2021-2024
I was introduced to Jerry several years ago. He was a quiet unassuming man with a genuine smile and a firm handshake. I didn’t “get” who he was until much later. When he was pointed out to me and I was told that decades prior he and a couple of other enthusiastic Porsche owners got together, petitioned PCA, and founded OVR. What’s remarkable is that Jerry stayed with OVR and as an officer, committee head and driving instructor shepherded the club to what it is today. I’ll never know if his motivation was a paternal instinct for OVR or if he just loved the camaraderie.
I know from attending the service celebrating his life that he had kids who loved him dearly, a wife who was clearly devoted and loved him, and a career that kept him very busy. I also know that behind the wheel of his beloved Porsches, he was an incredibly smooth driver, but a bad-ass nonetheless. We recently, and perhaps serendipitously, celebrated our 60th anniversary as a club. Part of the organizing conversations was to pay respects and recognize the few remaining founders we still had among us. I am so pleased we were able to do that, especially now. Everything this club has become owes men like Jerry and a few others a sincere debt of gratitude for what they built. I’m confident that while it may have been stressful at times, the rewards, the laughs, and the laps likely made it worthwhile.
What Do You Think?
words Chuck Lindsey, Secretary
The Executive Board wants to measure the interest of the membership and get your opinion on the addition of an OVR/PCA merchandise web store to our website. This web store would provide members with online shopping of OVR/PCA logo merchandise. At the June Board meeting, Secretary Chuck Lindsey presented examples of OVR/PCA logo clothing items, German beer steins, and key fobs. The web store would be user-friendly, designed with simplicity and convenience of use. Photos of examples of web store merchandise are below. The Board encourages members to attend our monthly meetings and events and provide feedback on this web store proposal. OVR/PCA logo merchandise would expand our brand recognition and provide members the opportunity to display their pride in the Club at meetings and events.

Annual Dinner Wrap-Up
words Kathie Hunter, Chairman photos: Ted Hunter
The end. 62 years ago 21 Members formed the Ohio Valley Region Porsche Club of America. Every November we remember and honor their foresight with a celebration party. This year at Horsepower Farm in Middletown, we gathered for a dinner, a small program, and a charity auction. 150 of our members joined in. We were delighted to have some of our oldest and newest members partake. Our auction benefits the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and The Matt Haverkamp Foundation which obtains, trains, and donates police dogs to local sheriff and police forces. Thank you to everyone who participated in bidding and helping us achieve a $1600+ donation. Thank you to Bill Winstel and the team at Joseph Porsche of Kings Automall, our dealer sponsor for the event. Thank you to event co-chair Sarah Rice Collins, centerpiece designer Ruth Zacharias, Ted Hunter, and volunteers Jeff and Becky Woodard, and Steve and Gwynne Krekeler. Many hands make for lighter work!
