The President’s Corner - Rich Taylor
The World’s First Corvette Club
One of my objectives for our club has been to increase our collaboration with other NCCC Corvette clubs
in sponsoring events that are both fun and beneficial to our communities. Another of my objectives has
been to strengthen our partnership with Lincoln Technical Institute (LTI). As I mentioned in last month’s
newsletter, we are working with LTI and the Northern Virginia Corvette Club (NVCC) to sponsor a Teen
Driving School. NVCC has a lot of experience putting on these events and they are working with us and
LTI to organize an Instructors Clinic to train instructors to teach the driving school. The Instructors Clinic
will be conducted on Saturday, April 13th at Lincoln Tech in Columbia, MD. If there is enough interest
and participation among our members for this event, then we will consider putting on a full blown Teen
Driving School in the fall of this year. We have almost two dozen people who have signed up to support
this event so far. If you are interested in becoming an instructor or supporting this event in some other ca-
pacity, please contact Pat Roney directly at ([email protected] or 240-506-6283). Please look at the
flyer immediately following this article.
As most of you already know, autocross events are an important part of our activities each year and we
will conduct five autocross primer classes and ten sanctioned autocross events this year. Our first events
will be on Saturday April 20th and Sunday April 21st. If you are interested in running in these events, you
can register on our web site by clicking on the Auto X Register button on the left hand side of the home
page. If you are available to help us set up and run this event, please contact our Competition Director,
Gary Maul directly at [email protected] .
Keep the wheels turning and
don’t forget to shift gears.

Corvette rAMBLINGS
The Editor’s Corner– Jon Thorn
Well, it finally looks like Spring is here. We can put
the snow plows away and speaking of plows here is
a photo that I got from Mike Yager at Mid America
Motorworks. It shows that old Corvettes never die
they just end up with very strange second lives.
On Sunday I had an opportunity to attend a baptism
for the daughter of one of my Impala club members.
It was a truly beautiful day and was another indica-
tion that winter is finally over. It gave me an excel-
lent excuse to get my second favorite Chevy product
out of the garage and on the road where it belongs.
It was nice to hear the rumble of the LT1 again
along with the gentle whine of the Paxton blower. I
was happy to see that it started instantly after sitting
under a cover for six months and I am sure it was
good to burn some of the old gas out of the tank and
circulate the oil. It was kind of a shock though to
relearn the pedal pressure of the twin-disk McLeod
clutch. All 94 to 96 Impalas were automatics but I
converted this one with a Tremec 6-speed that was
spec’d for a Dodge Viper. It was a lot of fun having
the car out in the sunshine again.
Be sure to check out Ron Hamrah’s article this month. The June cruise to the NCM now has 26 folks in-
terested in joining us on what promises to be a great trip to Bowling Green followed by a cruise to the
Asheville area for a drive on the Tail of the Dragon and a tour of the famous Biltmore Estate. If you
would like to investigate riding along with us please check with Ron quickly. We will be working on the
final trip plans very soon.
Now that things are warming up be sure to come out and support your CCA. We have both a Teen Driv-
ing School and an Autocross weekend coming up. Check out the details in this issue of the Courier and
show up to support the club!
Save the wave!

Competition Report
We had some CCA members head to VIR and Summit Point this month. Please check out Pat’s
article on these events.
Our first autocross event on 20/21 April is in just a couple weeks. Another email will be sent out
to club members requesting volunteers to work at the event. Please volunteer to ensure our first
event is a success. You can also register for this and all the other autocross events by visiting the
CCA home page and clicking on the AutoX Register button in the left hand menu.
I would like to thank Rick Roe for all of his creativity and hard work in getting the autocross reg-
istration page online. As you will see when you visit the page it is much easier to register than the
page we used in the past. With Rick working the registration page, the work on the CCA compe-
tition web page was delayed. We should have it up soon. This page will have lots of information
on HPDE and autocross, including a calendar of events and links to the many venues and organi-
zations that sponsor events. An email will be sent to members when the page goes live.

More High Performance Drivers Education during the month of March.
By Pat Roney
March started out great with 5 days on track between March 2nd and 10th. I reported on the March 2nd
and 3rd Chin Motorsports event at Virginia International Raceway in last month’s newsletter. I did
find one picture of our group relaxing at the Oak Tree Tavern at VIR during that Chin event.
We also had fun at the Summit Point Friday At The Track (FATT) March 8th where I worked with a
friend from the NVCC with his Lingenfelter C6 Corvette ZR1. That was a wild beast to tame with
over 700 hp to the wheels. We were easily up to 160mph with a lot of track left when he let up. For
the most part we kept the speed at a more reasonable level and worked on the more technical parts of
the course. The brakes and suspension were outstanding.
March 9th and 10th I worked with fellow CCA’er Louie D. at a SCCA event at Summit Point. This
was Louie’s 3rd and 4th day on track and after a shaky start with his car acting up on grid and having
to pit and fix the problem, we had a great weekend. This was also Louie’s first time at Summit Point
so we had to learn the track line first. As usual, we started out very slow working on the technical
parts of the course, getting line and smoothness down. Louie did a great job driving and learning the
course which showed as he led the pack start to finish and lapping some of the cars in the last couple
of sessions. Good job Louie.
The Corvette Courier April 2013 Page 9
Below is Louie between myself and Dave DuBois, NVCC.
We have plenty more events coming up that CCA members are participating in over the next few
months. April 26th Summit Point FATT will see fellow member Art B. joining us along with Pat S.
from the Old Dominion Corvette Club. April 27th and 28th we have 7 CCA’ers signed up already with
the NASA event at Summit Point. I look forward to working with Louie again at that event. May 20 th
and 21st we have 10 signed up so far for a trip to Watkins Glen with Chin Motorsports and 17 of us
have already signed up for the National Corvette Museum HPDE at VIR. That is always a great
event.
There are a lot of other events over the next few months that a few of us will be attending including a
May 18th TrackDaze HPDE at Summit Point where Veronica Johnson of the NBC network will be do-
ing an article on how HPDE events help to make you a better driver on the road. She will be inter-
viewing myself and several other drivers as well as TrackDaze management on this subject.
As always, we love to talk about tracking events. If you have any questions or would just like to hear
what we do, just ask one of us.
I would like to thank my two best buddies, Rich and Gary, for helping me set up the course for the In-
structors Clinic for the Teen Driving School.
The Corvette Courier April 2013 Page 10
Upcoming Events
We have added an additional autocross event this year for a total of five. These autocross events are
planned starting in April including five Autocross Primer classes for beginners. The schedule is shown
later in this report.
For the road racers, there will be group participation in many High Performance Drivers Events
(HPDEs) at tracks such as VIR, Summit Point, Watkins Glen, New Jersey Motorsports Park and
maybe even Sebring or Road Atlanta. You are put into groups, depending on your level of experi-
ence and driving skill, and instructors are provided to ride along with you. This is a great way to learn
how to get the most out of your car in a safe and controlled environment. These events combine class-
room time with track time to teach both the theory and physical control aspects of high speed driving.
Note that The National Corvette Museum (NCM) is again sponsoring an HPDE at VIR that has been
confirmed for June 24th and 25th. Another couple of major events are the Baltimore Grand Prix on
Aug 30th and 31st and ALMS at VIR on Oct 3 thru 5. Both of these are major events on the ALMS
racing calendar and were very successful last year
This exciting season is underway. Please contact me if you have an interest in driving your car in a
competitive event.

The Corvette Courier is published monthly by the Corvette Club of America, Inc.
P.O. Box 3355, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20885
The Corvette Club of America, Inc was founded by John Ralph and Charles Eyre who organized the
first club meeting on July 17, 1956 at a Chevrolet dealership in Arlington, Virginia. At that time the
club charter was formulated and a tentative club name, ‘Capital Corvette Club’ was taken under con-
sideration. At a subsequent meeting in September 1956, however, the club name was changed to the
Corvette Club of America since it was the intent of the members to make the club a national organiza-
tion.
In the months that followed, the Corvette Club
of America took the first steps toward forming a
national organization by laying the ground work
for the National Council of Corvette Clubs, a
group which now includes 262 clubs with more
than 17,500 members. The Corvette Club of
America is a proud member of the East Region
of the NCCC. As one of the founding clubs of
the National Council of Corvette Clubs the CCA
is honored to have been assigned club number 1
in the organization.
Through the years the CCA has seen many fine
members come and go; however, one thing re-
mains unchanged. The membership is composed
of individuals both male and female, young and
old, that share a common interest - The Corvette!
