This month’s message contains several musings. If you own a C6 Corvette, and about 30% of our club does, have you been hit with the broken glove box latch yet? After leaving the Laningham’s run to Chukchansi, Pam went to open the glove box on our 2008 and the handle disintegrated into several pieces. When we got home, I went on the computer and found this to be a common problem. It costs about $55 for the new part and there is an online doit-yourself video for the installation. I’ll bet our glove box wasn’t opened two dozen times before it blew up. 2014 Corvette ordering guides are now in the hands of 900 of the more than 3,000 Chevrolet dealers. But with a late summer start for production, don’t look for the first C7’s to hit the showroom until September. The convertible is due to arrive just in time for Christmas. In order to sell a new Corvette, dealers must have sold at least 4 Corvettes last year and sent a specialist for training to the Spring Mountain Racetrack in Pahrump, Nevada for 1.5 days of schooling at a cost of $2,000 plus travel expenses. We are getting a lot more runs these days which is good news. But I’ve noticed post run reports seem to have almost vanished from the newsletter. The pictures are getting in there, but rarely a narrative. So as a reminder to run leaders, to please include a narrative on your CVC activity. Things are really taking off for the October 4-6 President’s Mystery run. Pam and I have everything locked in, and as of this writing 44 people (57% of the club) have signed up. Due to restrictions on rooms and the tours, we only have room for a maximum of three more people. The cost is $600 for couples and $425 for singles. I would like to have a 50% deposit from you, payable to CVC, by this month’s meeting on May 21 st . The balance needs to be paid by the August 20 th meeting. Over half the people going have already turned in their deposits and many have paid in full. Thanks to everyone for the great response. I know we are going to have a great time! Finally, my message last month was a history of all the Corvettes in CVC. Unfortunately due to an omission on our roster, we left one Corvette out of the story. That would be a 1960 Corvette that Joyce Kroeker bought for Ed several years back. It also means the Kroekers and the Garrisons have the most Corvettes in the club with three each. The Kroeker’s have the 1960, along with a 1995 Pace Car and a 2003 Pace Car and the Garrisons have a 1958, a 1981 and a 1998.
General meeting was called to order at 6:31 p.m. by President Craig Hansen. Minutes from the March General meeting were read by Terri Parks. There was a correction to the minutes regarding the dates of the Mystery Run. A motion was made by Joyce Kroeker and seconded by Linda Laningham to accept the minutes as corrected.
