Our Sunshine News is brief but all good this month!<br />

Before we left on our President’s Run we had news that Sue Comer had not been feeling<br />

well and tests had revealed that they had seen a spot on her aorta. We received great<br />

news a few days after we returned; all the tests were fine and the spot was a false<br />

positive and Sue is feeling much better. So grateful!<br />

Kathy Renna, Charlotte’s daughter had hip surgery the day <strong>of</strong> our General Meeting and<br />

just before the meeting, we heard that she was out <strong>of</strong> recovery and everything went well.<br />

She is now recovering at her Mom’s house.<br />

Last month we learned that Charlie and Kim Fosnaugh’s Lab blew her knee out and would<br />

need to have a specialized surgery this month. She’s had surgery and did fine was able to<br />

return home the day after the surgery. She is now recovering at home watching movies<br />

with Charlie.<br />

Ed and Joyce Kroeker celebrated their 59 th anniversary this month. Joyce has given Ed the<br />

same anniversary card for the last 20 years! She said she changes the outside envelope<br />

occasionally but so far, he hasn’t caught on.<br />

Kim and Charlie had a fun weekend in Monterey with their daughter, her husband and<br />

granddaughter. They visited the beach, Cannery Row and Monterey Bay Aquarium.<br />

Steve and Lydia Garcia are leaving on <strong>August</strong> 12 th which is Lydia’s birthday on a 3-week<br />

vacation to Ireland and Scotland. They will be celebrating her birthday in the air. Happy<br />

Birthday Lydia have a great birthday and a wonderful vacation!<br />

I heard from Lupe Dawson; she has just returned from a six-week visit with her sister Pat<br />

in Michigan. She said she enjoyed a great trip with all the boys in the family. She wasn’t<br />

able to attend the meeting as she was having cataract surgery very early the next<br />

morning. She wanted say hello and wish everyone her best and let everyone know she’s<br />

doing fine. She hopes to see everyone at the next meeting.<br />

Thanks for sharing all your Sunshine and Clouds,<br />

Your Sunshine Girl, Debbie G.


2019 Yenko Corvette gets a 1000 HP!<br />

Specialty Vehicle Engineers <strong>of</strong>fers Yenko/SC Stage II Corvette package from the dealer!<br />

AUTO INDUSTRY NEWS - Jose Altoveros / Specialty Vehicle Engineers | July 24, <strong>2018</strong><br />

For Chevrolet fans, they would know that the Yenko name is synonymous to the Camaros<br />

built by Don Yenko back in the late 1960s. In more recent light, the guys over at Specialty<br />

Vehicle Engineers have decided to bring the Yenko name back by introducing the Yenko/SC<br />

Stage II Camaro which produced 1,000 PS. Now, the same guys have decided to give the<br />

Yenko treatment to the C7 Corvette.<br />

Officially called the Yenko/SC Stage II Corvette, it is powered by a modified version <strong>of</strong> the<br />

LT1 V8 which now displaces 6.8-liters and is also supercharged. To be specific, the engine<br />

head now features CNC ported high-flow LT4 heads, forged internals, larger throttle bodies,<br />

an upgraded fuel system and a reworked exhaust to bump up the power.<br />

With the Stage 1 LT1 supercharged V8, the eight-cylinder motor cranks out 835 PS. Should<br />

that not be enough, customers can opt to get the full Stage II upgrade instead which boosts<br />

power up to 1,000 PS and 1,152 Nm <strong>of</strong> torque. Power is then sent to the rear wheels via a<br />

7-speed manual with an upgraded clutch or a 'heavy-duty' 8-speed automatic transmission.<br />

To make the Yenko Corvette stand out, it adorns the famous Yenko livery complete with<br />

badges on the front fender. There are also optional sYc exterior graphics available. The rest<br />

<strong>of</strong> the exterior aero is carried over from the Corvette Grand Sport in which the Yenko Corvette<br />

is based <strong>of</strong>f.<br />

Only 25 units <strong>of</strong> the Yenko/SC Stage II Corvette will be made. They will be available<br />

in both standard hardtop and convertible variants. The best news about the Yenko<br />

Corvette is that customers can actually avail <strong>of</strong> it at authorized US Chevrolet<br />

dealerships, and will only set you back USD 68,995.
