…a word from our President!
Hi Corvetter’s:
Well it is Christmas time again. I cannot
believe it came so quick. The board
meeting was last Tuesday and I think
we got things figured out. Looks like it
is going to be a fun year. I was so very
sorry to hear that Roy passed away I
loved that guy!
He had a great smile and was always up
and never had a bad thing to say about
anybody. Our prayers are with you
MaryAnn!!!!!! This is the sad part of
being in the club. When you start losing
your good friends. Not a lot else to say
this time, stay gold and be happy.

Debbie Garrison
Nov.21, 2017
It has been a difficult month for some of our members, please remember to keep them in your
prayers.
Leigh Ann Severance lost her brother very suddenly this month.
Our dear friend Roy Whitson passed away on November 28 th . He had been having issues for
some months now although you would never know it. He always had a smile on his face and
never complained about anything. He began feeling ill again and was admitted on Halloween
and had surgery a few days later for a blockage in his colon and received a colostomy. The
colostomy had to be revised and was unresponsive. He started talking a bit and was even able to
watch a little football. He seemed to be getting better although it would be a long road to
recovery. He took a turn for the worse and had to be connected back to all the tubes and
machines. Roy requested to be taken off life support. Please keep Mary Ann in your prayers.
Dave Dawson is having in-home Hospice care. He’s not eating well and doesn’t have the strength
to get up and when he does his blood pressure plummets. The Garrahan’s, Laningham’s and
Keith and I made a trip to Merced earlier this month to visit with Dave and Lupe. He enjoyed the
visit. Lupe’s sister Pat is here from Michigan helping out. She is a blessing. Let Lupe know you are
thinking of her and Dave.
Ed Kroeker is still at the group care facility near their home, he has his good and bad days. Some
days better than others but enjoys visits from Joyce and the family.
Good News for Joyce Kroeker she has finished her six bladder cancer treatments. She is feeling
fine and doesn’t have to return to the doctor for 6 months. Yea!!
Steve and Lydia Garcia shared with us that they became Grandparents for the 14 th time. Their
youngest daughter had her second child on November 16 th , a little boy; 8 lbs. 12 oz. His name is
Tavita Setafano Lakatani which translate to David Steven Lakataini. So happy for all.
Our friends and members Art and Nancy White are finally home from their big sailing trip with
1800 miles behind them. Looking forward to seeing family and friends and sharing stories of
their adventure at our Christmas Party. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with Family and Friends. The Christmas season is upon us
and everyone is busy but take a moment to remember the Reason for the Season.
Blessings to all, Your Sunshine Girl, Debbie G.

Holiday Dishes that Travel!
It’s the beginning of the holiday season and all the traditional eats are right around
the corner. If you’re traveling and volunteered (or were volunteered by someone else)
to bring your best dish, did you consider what the travel time can do to your recipe?
Or whether there will be room in the oven to cook or reheat your tasty tidbits once
you arrive? Don’t let holiday travel throw a wrench into what might otherwise be
described as nothing short of divine. A tweak here and there may be all your favorite
recipe needs. For example, if a hard brake on the way to last year’s family gathering
sent your infamous cherry pie toward destinations unknown, leaving you to arrive
empty-handed, why not try something a little safer this year?
Try this instead – make cherry pie bars.
Cherry pie bars? Yes, they’re a thing. They’re delicious and perfectly preportioned.
If you don’t know where to start, TheCountryCook.net has a delicious recipe that you
can make the night before. Then, package them up in an airtight container that can
be safely stored away for a safe arrival at your destination. (One of the best parts of
this recipe is you can make them with any number of seasonal fillings – pumpkin,
cherry, apple, blueberry, pecan … the list goes on!)

Holiday Dishes that Travel!
When sweets are not your thing and your must-have side dish is, well … a must-have,
consider my favorite go-to small kitchen appliance – the slow cooker!
Roll your eyes if you like, but when it comes to picking up and taking your holiday
meals on the road, the slow cooker can be your best friend. Whether you’re in charge
of snack foods (ever try Slow-Cooker Chex Party Mix?) or bringing your to-die-for
creamy mashed potatoes (you won’t believe how easy Slow-Cooker Mashed Potatoes
can be), you can do it all in your magical slow cooker. And, when you arrive, there’s
no fighting over oven space – all you need is a little counter space and an outlet to
keep things warm. If your vehicle has a power outlet and your slow cooker has a
“keep warm” setting, you may not even need to worry about your contribution to
dinner getting cold on the way. (Make sure you check your owner’s manuals to
ensure everything is compatible before plugging in!)
Finally, if you have been given the seemingly daunting task of cranberry sauce, yes,
you have the option of grabbing a couple cans off the shelf of whatever store you pass
that is open on your way to dinner. But why do that when it’s so easy to make and it
actually travels well? Below you will find my never-before-shared, never-fail
cranberry sauce recipe. It’s easy and, by the way, you can double it and use it in place
of the cherry pie filling in the Cherry Pie Bars recipe above!
Never-Fail Cranberry Sauce
1 12-ounce bag of cranberries, rinsed (pick out any soft berries and/or stems),
2 oranges & 1 cup sugar. Zest the oranges into the pan you will use to cook the
cranberry sauce. Then squeeze the oranges into a measuring cup. Add enough water
to equal 1 cup of liquid. Pour into the pan with the orange zest and add the sugar.
Cook on medium low, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Carefully add the berries and turn heat to low. Stir. When berries begin to pop, you’re
almost there. Keep stirring until the berries cook down. The sauce will seem a bit
syrup-y, but it will firm up as it cools. Enjoy!

DID YOU KNOW SOME OF THE BEST
HOLIDAYS ARE IN DECEMBER…?
(BESIDES CHRISTMAS)
December is chock full of all kinds of holidays.
Celebrate all month long with some of my favorites!

‘In the Garage’ with Charlie
If you haven’t seen the December 2017, 750 th Issue of Car & Driver Magazine, I suggest
you get your hands on one before they are all gone! Not only is the new 2019 Corvette
ZR1 on the cover, but it is full of all kinds of Automotive History from A to Z! It’s all
fun and interesting. They call it the Encyclopedia Vehicula. Here’s the article on the
ALL NEW 2019 FRONT-ENGINE CORVETTE ZR1 (courtesy of Car & Driver Magazine).

2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: The 750-HP Front-Engined
Vette to End All Front-Engined Vettes!
To make a Corvette even mightier than the Z06, you need only two things: power
and downforce. CarandDriver.com Dec. 2017 by Jared Gall, Multiple Photographers
There’s no pretending anymore that a tectonic shift isn’t on its horizon, but the
Chevrolet Corvette as we know it is still evolving as if it’s in a time-lapse video. In 2013,
the Z06 was a 505-hp middle manager toiling in the shadow of the supercharged ZR1;
just a generation later, it outearns its former boss with a 650-hp blown LT4,
establishing itself as the greatest performance value of all time. At Virginia
International Raceway for our annual Lightning Lap track extravaganza, the currentgeneration
Z06 fell short of an $875,000 limited-production hypercar by only a second
and a half—at a savings of some three-quarters of a million bucks. It’d be pretty easy
to make a Z06 faster with another $775,000.
Or you could let Chevy do it for you at a significant discount. Final pricing for the 2019
ZR1 isn’t settled, but expect it to track the C6-generation ZR1 and start just above
$120,000 when it reaches dealers in spring 2018. It’s not wrong to think of the ZR1 as
a Z06 with more. Both have supercharged engines, and aside from that, their
drivetrains—either the seven-speed manual or the eight-speed automatic—are the
same right down to the gear ratios. Suspension differences are limited to tuning. There
are no fancy spool-valve shocks here as there are on a Camaro ZL1 1LE; as with the
Z06, the ZR1 uses magnetorheological dampers.

The ZR1’s front wheels are
a half-inch wider, changing
the tire’s shoulder
geometry, but its standard
and optional rubber are the
same pieces Z06 buyers
get, and the ZR1’s brakes
are the Z06’s optional
rotors and calipers with
new pads. But the ZR1 is
precisely one step beyond
just “more.” Longtime
Corvette chief engineer
Tadge Juechter describes
the ZR1 as “the most we know how to do.” Here, the most means 755 horsepower and
715 lb-ft of torque. And it starts, as it did in 1990 on the first ZR-1 that most people
remember, with an engine called LT5. With pushrods instead of its ancestor’s dual
overhead cams, though, this LT5 is an evolution of the 6.2-liter LT4 powering the
current Z06. Like the Z06’s engine, this one is capped by an Eaton supercharger. The
blower is bigger than the LT4’s, pumping 52 percent more air with each revolution,
and taller by 2.9 inches.
Corvette exterior design
manager Kirk Bennion says
that, when the design team
tried to maintain typical
hood clearances, “you got
behind the wheel, and you
couldn’t even see the right
side of the car.” Faced with
this difficulty, his team
decided to stay home. Stay
home from Europe, that is.
Forgoing European sales
and ignoring the Continent’s
rulebook meant not having to meet its stringent pedestrian-protection regulations. In
Europe, the head of anybody who steps in front of a moving car is entitled to smash
through a minimum amount of (relatively) soft material and space before contacting
hard engine parts such as intake manifolds, superchargers, or intercooler bricks. Here
in the U.S.A., we have thicker skulls—perhaps related to an above-global-average
dairy intake—and our regulators will let you bonk your noggin on an engine that sticks
up through the hood. The largest chunk of that carbon-fiber strip running down the
center of the ZR1’s nose is, in fact, the intercooler cover.

As Juechter describes
it: “You’ve got no air
gap between the
engine and the hood,
you’ve got no hood
blanket, you’ve got no
construction between
the hood inner and
outer. All that stuff
usually stacks on top
[of the engine], but we
consumed all of that
and then let the
engine crawl out
another inch, inch and
a half.” Adds Bennion: “It was a challenge to get that hood right. It could get real
backwoods on you real fast.” While you can now see the right side of the car, the view
from the driver’s seat is still plenty dramatic: Luke Skywalker’s as he zooms down the
trench toward the Death Star’s exhaust port. And, Juechter promises, it’s even more
dramatic when you start the car. “[The engine] moves around on you. You step on it,
you can see the engine trying to pick the front of the car up and come out of the hole.
Every twitch of your foot, you can see how the driveline is moving. It’s part of the
charm.” In much the same way a great white chomping on the bars of your dive cage
is part of the charm. We’re also told the LT5 will shoot flames from its exhaust, so
there’s even charm for the
people behind a ZR1. That
last bit is a conveniently badass
byproduct of the engine’s
new fuel-delivery system,
which uses both port and
direct injection. At the other
end of the combustion cycle,
there’s another benefit to
Corvexit: louder exhaust. U.S.
pass-by noise regulations
allow more decibels than do
the European Union’s. In
addition to the electronically
controlled butterfly valves in a Z06, the ZR1’s exhaust system incorporates a newly
patented internal valve that Juechter likens to the flap on top of a semitractor’s exhaust
pipe. A spring holds it closed under light loads, but as exhaust flow grows more urgent,
it overcomes the spring pressure and pushes the valve open, allowing for a smoother
rise to the volume than the all-or-nothing character of the butterfly valve alone.

Beyond the larger supercharger and the fuel-injection system, the biggest differences
between the LT4 and LT5 are the latter’s larger throttle body and strengthened
crankshaft. Even with the computer dialing
back the torque output in the lower gears,
Chevy figures the ZR1 will hit 60 mph in
less than three seconds, clear the quarter
in less than 11, and top out beyond 210
mph. Juechter says: “Some companies,
when they go up in horsepower, what
they’re really doing is just extending the
torque curve . . . the peak torque isn’t higher
at all, it just extends a little bit. We’ve
elevated the torque across the range. It
feels stronger than a Z06 all the way
through the gear run-up, not just a little
extension at the end.”
“If you’re going to engage in an endeavor like this,” adds Tom Peters, “you need that
noticeable transition or contrast. You know a customer is going to expect it.” As design
director for performance cars at General Motors, Peters shouldered much of the
responsibility for the other half of the ZR1’s story: aerodynamics. Aside from the rear
wing and different wheels, the Z06 and ZR1 are identical aft of the A-pillars. Forward
of them, no bodywork is shared, and engineers crammed an additional four heat
exchangers into the nose. Each outboard nostril contains a new radiator and
intercooler. The two intercooler bricks underhood are enlarged to twice the size of the
LT4’s. The ZR1’s larger blower and additional coolers add some 140 pounds to the
Z06’s curb weight, most of it concentrated in the nose. A chief collaborator on the
ZR1’s styling was air.
Maximizing airflow
through all those
exchangers meant
extensive wind-tunnel
development, using
both scale models and
full-size cars in a rollingroad
wind tunnel. “We
see aerodynamics as an
opportunity to make the
car more unique, more
pure and genuine,”
Peters says. “To me,
that’s universal truth,
and that’s design.”

Not all ZR1s will wear as extreme an aero or color package as the car in these photos.
This one is fitted with the ZTK Performance package, which includes Michelin Pilot
Sport Cup 2 rubber, specific tuning of the magnetorheological dampers, and that
mondo wing. A smaller one is standard. This car is also wearing the Sebring Orange
Design package, which brings the blazing hue to the brake calipers, rocker panels,
seatbelts, interior stitching, and stripes on the splitter. The ZTK wing offers 10 degrees
of adjustability and generates a claimed 950 pounds of downforce at top speed. That’s
more than the Z06’s wicker bill generates, and it’s a vastly more efficient way of making
downforce, which explains how the ZR1 can tack another 25 or so mph onto the Z06’s
top speed. “You see a lot of poseurs out there who just bolt the wing to the hatch, so
it goes up with the
hatch,” Juechter notes.
“But if you’re generating
true downforce, like epic
quantities of downforce,
you can’t route that
through the hatch. You’ll
crack it.” So his wing
mounts aft of the hatch
opening, where two
aluminum castings
tucked inside the fascia
tie into the back of the
car’s composite tub and
transmit that load down to the bumper beam. He demonstrates the sturdiness of the
setup by yanking on the wing with both hands, which shakes the whole car.
ZR1s without the ZTK performance package will have the same carbon-fiber front
splitter as the car shown here, but the ZTK adds spindly vertical end plates that owe
their toe-lopping thinness to the decision to stay out of Europe. According to Juechter,
the EU’s pedestrian-protection rules mandate “very doughy radii” on such pieces. Why
two different aero packages
on such a low-volume model?
“We wanted to have the
aerodynamic performance for
our top-level track car,” he
explains, “but we also wanted
to have a car that people
could drive to the country club
and put their golf clubs in the
back.” Or, for that matter, stow
the removable roof panel.

That big wing is going to complicate loading and unloading. The ZR1 might be the
ultimate track Corvette, but its creators don’t see it as being the craziest. That title still
belongs to the Z06. Their goal with the ZR1, Juechter says, is “to have the performance
accessible, to have people who are not necessarily professional drivers be able to get
into and experience a 750-hp car and be able to get close to its limits and feel
comfortable doing it.” To that end, the springs, dampers, and electronically controlled
limited-slip differential are all calibrated to be forgiving. Unlike the positively brutal
Camaro ZL1 1LE, the ZR1 is a “have your cake and eat it, too” kind of car, according
to Juechter—a high-powered
grand tourer. It will still be faster
than the Z06, of course.
Chevy’s team uses a different
track configuration than we do
for Lightning Lap but says the
ZR1 laps VIR 2.5 seconds
quicker than a Z06. If we can
replicate that performance on
the longer Grand West Course,
the ZR1 should set a new
Lightning Lap record.
It seems that Chevy is gunning for a sales record with this ZR1 as well. We’ve seen
spy photos of ZR1 convertibles in addition to the coupes, so it appears that this
generation will be available in all the flavors of the regular Corvette lineup. Regardless
of transmission or body style, the ZR1 promises to run away from more expensive
machinery on a racetrack for a fraction of the price. No matter how much the Corvette
might change, that’s one thing that never will.
