Mike Crafton past member and <strong>of</strong>ficer <strong>of</strong> CVC past away peacefully with family at his side<br />
on Sunday April 15, <strong>2018</strong>. Mike and Joanne were members in the early days <strong>of</strong> CVC, he<br />
was smart, capable and had a great sense <strong>of</strong> humor. Mike and Joanne along with Patrick<br />
and Patricia put together our first run to Oregon, a run that still is remembered as one <strong>of</strong><br />
our best runs, it was so well organized and so much fun. I have so many memories that<br />
have Mike in them. Rest in Peace, Dear Friend.<br />
Dave and Lori Dukes are now proud grandparents <strong>of</strong> their eighth grandchild. Travis Ryan<br />
was born on April 5 th , weighing in at 6 lbs. 4 oz. and was 19 inches long. Lori will be<br />
babysitting him starting in June along with his big sister, 3-year-old Maisie. Lori is going to<br />
be a busy grandma!<br />
It was nice to see Del and Susan Walker at the meeting, Susan tells me and the treatment<br />
Del is receiving now seems to be working well. Keep them in your thoughts.<br />
Marcie shared with us that our own Tom Jarvis was awarded City <strong>of</strong> Clovis Volunteer <strong>of</strong><br />
the Year. There was a nice ceremony and it was quite the surprise. Kudos to Tom for all<br />
his hard work!<br />
Kim and Charlie are leaving on the 25 th for a trip to Japan. They will be going to Tokyo<br />
then taking 8-day cruise around Japan. One <strong>of</strong> stops will be So. Korea then they will be on<br />
8-day cruise at sea sailing to Alaska. They will fly home from Anchorage. Returning<br />
around Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day Kim! The only downside is that they will miss<br />
some local events; Clovis Parade will now be hosted by Dick Danielsen and our CVC movie<br />
night will be hosted by Chuck Laningham. For the first time in 22 years Charlie and Kim<br />
will miss the Annual Kiwanis Club’s Crab Feed.<br />
Ed Kroeker is now able to ride his exercise bike almost 30 minutes and is now able to<br />
stand up and walk with a little with his walker. A feat Joyce attributes to the strength he<br />
has gained from using the exercise bike.
Ruth E Danielsen had a steroid shot in her eye to help reduce the swelling in her eye.<br />
And speaking <strong>of</strong> eyes Keith had laser surgery on his eyes known as LPI or Iridotomy. The<br />
space between the iris and the cornea is reduced, causing the pressure to increase and<br />
can lead to glaucoma. So, using the laser they make a hole on the outer rim <strong>of</strong> each iris<br />
and that should increase the natural drainage to normal. We have put drops in his eyes<br />
for the next 6 weeks and he’s terrible about keeping his eyes open for the drops so wish<br />
me luck!<br />
Patrick, Chuck and Keith traveled to Oceano to pick up Rick Tavares corvette for Gail and<br />
bring it back to <strong>Fresno</strong> for a once over. The Guys stopped for a lunch <strong>of</strong> clam chowder<br />
and then went over and <strong>of</strong> course it’s never easy as it should be. They finally got the<br />
corvette charged up so they could to move it up on the trailer. But they had a great day.<br />
Anytime Corvette Guys are together it’s a good day!<br />

Iconic Supercar is 15th Corvette to lead<br />
‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing’<br />
The 2019 Corvette ZR1 is the <strong>of</strong>ficial Pace Car for the <strong>2018</strong> Indianapolis 500<br />
presented by Penn Grade Motor Oil and will lead drivers to the green flag on<br />
Sunday, <strong>May</strong> 27, for the 102 nd running <strong>of</strong> the legendary race. It marks the<br />
15 th time a Corvette has served as the <strong>of</strong>ficial Pace Car since 1978, and the<br />
29 th time a Chevrolet has led the field dating back to 1948, when a 1948<br />
Fleetmaster Six convertible paced the race. No other vehicle has served as<br />
the Pace Car more than the Corvette. To celebrate the iconic supercar’s<br />
connection to “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” the 2019 Corvette ZR1<br />
and the other 14 <strong>Corvettes</strong> that have paced the 500 were on display on the<br />
front straightaway today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “Chevrolet is<br />
proud to once again pace the Indianapolis 500,” said Steve Majoros,<br />
marketing director for Cars and Crossovers. “The ZR1 is the most powerful<br />
and fastest Corvette ever made. It’s the perfect choice to pace ‘The Greatest<br />
Spectacle in Racing.’”<br />
The 2019 Corvette ZR1 Pace Car features:<br />
• LT5 Small Block 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine with 755 hp and 715 lbft<br />
<strong>of</strong> torque<br />
• 8-speed 8L90 paddle-shift automatic transmission<br />
• ZTK Performance Package featuring a stanchion-mounted adjustable<br />
carbon-fiber high rear wing, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and<br />
performance suspension
• Magnetic Selective Ride Control<br />
• Brembo® Carbon Ceramic brake system<br />
• ZR1 chrome-aluminum wheels, 19-inch front and 20-inch rear<br />
• Standard Performance Traction Management and Electronic Limited-<br />
Slip Differential<br />
• Unique Indy 500 graphics package<br />
• GM Design fully integrated safety strobe system<br />
• Performance Data and Video Recorder<br />
The Corvette ZR1 Pace Car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.85 seconds<br />
and reach a top track speed <strong>of</strong> 212 mph, the fastest Corvette in history.<br />
Chevrolet has a storied history with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.<br />
Chevrolet was founded in 1911, the year <strong>of</strong> the inaugural 500-mile race, and<br />
company c<strong>of</strong>ounder Louis Chevrolet, along with brothers Arthur and<br />
Gaston, competed in early Indy 500 races. Arthur Chevrolet competed in the<br />
1911 race, and Gaston Chevrolet won it in 1920.<br />
“Chevrolet and IMS enjoy one <strong>of</strong> the longest-running and strongest bonds in<br />
motorsports,” said J. Douglas Boles, Indianapolis Motor Speedway<br />
president. “Seeing all <strong>of</strong> the incredible <strong>Corvettes</strong> that have paced the<br />
Indianapolis 500 on the track today is an exciting reminder <strong>of</strong> the rich<br />
history <strong>of</strong> this great relationship. This year’s Pace Car, the 2019 Corvette<br />
ZR1, is an incredible fast machine that is a perfect fit to lead the 500 field to<br />
the green flag.”<br />
Chevrolet is pursuing its seventh consecutive IndyCar manufacturer<br />
championship this year, building on a successful 2017 season that saw 10<br />
wins out <strong>of</strong> 17 races.<br />
Article by: National Corvette Museum, April 19, <strong>2018</strong>
Picture & Article<br />
from Car & Driver<br />
Magazine, <strong>May</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
On the eighth day, God created the Mid-Engine Corvette. Certain Mesoamerican<br />
cultures <strong>of</strong>fered the still-beating hearts <strong>of</strong> human sacrifices to Mid-Engine Corvette.<br />
Medieval Europeans believed that Mid-Engined Corvette's horn could cure all maladies.<br />
It is said that Kublai Khan kept in his personal zoo at Xanadu a Mid-Engined<br />
Corvette <strong>of</strong> exceptional splendor. The phrase "mid-engined Corvette" means "goat<br />
sucker" in Spanish, owing to the thing's propensity to drink the blood <strong>of</strong> livestock.<br />
Inside the briefcase from Pulp Fiction? Mid-Engined Corvette. Mid-Engined Corvette<br />
has always been with us, even when it totally didn't exist. And short <strong>of</strong> a few concept<br />
vehicles over the decades, it has never existed beyond the realm <strong>of</strong> folklore, the<br />
occasional conspiracy theory, and the fever dreams <strong>of</strong> automotive journalists. But as it<br />
is written, so it shall be. Mid-Engined Corvette is real, and you'll see the <strong>of</strong>ficial,<br />
genuine article before the end <strong>of</strong> the year. And no, Chevy isn't playing any games with<br />
the terminology: The engine will be bolted between the occupants and the rear wheels.<br />
Those expecting a carbon-fiber spaceship powered by an antimatter machine will be<br />
somewhat disappointed. Like the recent front-engined <strong>Corvettes</strong>, the mid-engined one<br />
will remain an attainable sports car with supercar performance.
Surely some bits <strong>of</strong> carbon fiber and magnesium will be stirred into the mix, but Chevy<br />
will construct the mid-engined car's spaceframe primarily from aluminum. And as in<br />
the past, its body will be made largely <strong>of</strong> fiberglass panels. To contain costs, Chevy will<br />
launch the new car with an updated version <strong>of</strong> the pushrod LT1 engine that powers<br />
today's C7 <strong>Corvettes</strong>. We expect the mid- engined Corvette, or C8, to be a bit heavier<br />
than the current car's roughly 3500 pounds, but it will compensate for that with about<br />
500 horsepower from the LT1. And thanks to the increased traction <strong>of</strong> a rearward<br />
weight bias and a quick-shifting transaxle, it'll be quicker than the C7. Oh, did we not<br />
mention the transaxle? (Note that we used the singular form <strong>of</strong> the word.) There will be<br />
only one gearbox, and it won't come with a clutch pedal. Chevy has been working with<br />
Tremec on a new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic unit. The driver's involvement in<br />
shifting gears will begin and end with the steering-wheel-adjacent shift paddle. But<br />
there's some consolation: That engine bay will also eventually host even more<br />
compelling mills. The first to follow the LT1 will be a naturally aspirated 5.5 liter<br />
DOHC V-8 with a flat-plane crankshaft capable <strong>of</strong> a Ferrari 458-like maximum engine<br />
speed <strong>of</strong> 9000 rpm. Sympathy for the transaxle, though, that means the engine speed<br />
will be limited to several hundred rpm below that. That engine should be good for at<br />
least 6oo horsepower. Then, because it is totally unnecessary, Chevy will bolt-two<br />
turbochargers and two big air-to-water intercoolers to the 5.5 liter V-8. The turbo<br />
engine will make about 8oo owner-maiming horsepower. You will not be surprised to<br />
earn that this will be the fastest version around the Nuirburgring Nordschleife. But<br />
hang on: What if we told you within a couple <strong>of</strong> years Chevy would add a 200-hp<br />
electric motor to the mix? The twin-turbo 5.5 liter V-8 will abuse the rear tires while the<br />
electric motor, housed in what would typically be a front trunk, will energize the fronts.<br />
That's right: This mid-engined/front motor Corvette will have a horsepower rating at or<br />
near the four-digit mark. To cool these nuclear furnaces, the mid-engined Corvette is<br />
going to need massive amounts <strong>of</strong> airflow. So basically the entire leading plane <strong>of</strong> the<br />
nose will be open to the air and packed full <strong>of</strong> heat exchangers. The C8 will extract<br />
engine-compartment heat through vents below the taillights on the rear fascia.<br />
Combustion gases will be fed through an exhaust that includes the familiar dual mode<br />
system to maximize airflow and noise generation at high engine loads. There will be two<br />
tips per side instead <strong>of</strong> the four center-mounted pipes on the C7. In a break from past<br />
<strong>Corvettes</strong>, the mid-engined car will have a couple <strong>of</strong> active aerodynamic devices. In the<br />
rear will be a conventional power-operated spoiler. Up front, the picture is a little more<br />
complicated. We hear that Chevy will use the new Corvette's front-axle-lift system not<br />
just to clear speed bumps and steep driveway approaches but also to change the car's<br />
angle <strong>of</strong> attack, shifting the aero center <strong>of</strong> pressure fore and aft, depending on vehicle<br />
speed. And, wonders never cease, the C8 will use coil springs in place <strong>of</strong> the old<br />
transverse composite leaf springs. For an unspecified amount <strong>of</strong> time, the C7 will be<br />
built alongside the C8 in Bowling Green, Kentucky. We're guessing Chevy will continue<br />
to build the old car until the company is ready to start producing the Corvette<br />

These are all still live links you may click on for more information!<br />
Often referred to as the world’s largest moving automotive event, the National Corvette Caravan is a<br />
celebration <strong>of</strong> America’s Sports Car, culminating in Bowling Green, Kentucky for the anniversary<br />
celebration <strong>of</strong> the National Corvette Museum. Hosted only once every five years. The 6th National<br />
Corvette Caravan is slated for August 28-31, 2019. Regional caravans will form and join other<br />
caravans as they travel across the United States to meet in Bowling Green, Kentucky for four days <strong>of</strong><br />
festivities at the National Corvette Museum. An event such as this requires years <strong>of</strong> planning and<br />
coordinating. All help is appreciated! The Museum is located at I-65, exit 28 in South <strong>Central</strong> Kentucky<br />
and is open daily, 8-5 <strong>Central</strong> Time.<br />
We had an informative meeting with the Northern California<br />
Corvette Caravan leader, Don Herzer, at our April CVC<br />
Meeting. I now have 14 CVC Cars that are very interested<br />
in going to Bowling Green, Kentucky starting on August 22,<br />
2019. Don will stay in touch with me and I will stay in touch<br />
with you all. I am looking into a Super 8 Motel that is right<br />
in the middle <strong>of</strong> the Plant, Museum & Track with it’s own<br />
parking and access. I will block 15 rooms for now and let<br />
you know when you can make reservations - for about $120<br />
per night. Do not call them until I give you our Group<br />
Reservation #. Let me know by email if you want to add<br />
your name to my list. The More the Merrier!<br />
Stay tuned for more information!<br />
