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 />

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.
