…a word from our President!<br />

For non-club members who may be viewing our<br />

website for the first time, welcome to the <strong>Central</strong><br />

<strong>Valley</strong> Corvette Club website and Newsletter!<br />

Thank you very much for your interest in our<br />

organization.<br />

The Corvette you own or are considering<br />

purchasing is an expression <strong>of</strong> your personality and<br />

lifestyle. Many <strong>of</strong> our current members joined the<br />

club because <strong>of</strong> the rich history <strong>of</strong> “America’s<br />

Sports Car”, the love <strong>of</strong> <strong>Corvettes</strong>, and their<br />

Corvette ownership. Our 80 club members own<br />

<strong>Corvettes</strong> from the C1 to C7 generations. See our<br />

club members and their cars page for photos <strong>of</strong><br />

members and their <strong>Corvettes</strong>. Beyond that, people<br />

have stayed members because <strong>of</strong> the strong, long<br />

lasting friendships forged within the club.<br />

Our club is a social club with an emphasis on<br />

driving our <strong>Corvettes</strong> and <strong>of</strong>fering a variety <strong>of</strong><br />

activities with the goal <strong>of</strong> having something <strong>of</strong><br />

interest for all our members. Please take a look at<br />

the activities section <strong>of</strong> the Newsletter to see<br />

what is currently scheduled. We are always<br />

adding events so please visit our website regularly<br />

for an up to date overview <strong>of</strong> runs/activities.<br />

Lastly, for those visiting our website who are<br />

considering joining our club, I would like to roll out<br />

the welcome mat on behalf <strong>of</strong> myself and all our<br />

members. The inflow <strong>of</strong> new people brings new<br />

ideas and new energy to our club. We would love<br />

to have you.<br />

Save the wave.<br />

upcoming runs and activities (see run/activity schedule<br />

published in Newsletter). Charlie and Kim Fosnaugh hit the<br />

Lebda, raking in 3 out <strong>of</strong> the 4 quarter winnings. Connie<br />

evening with a little extra cash. Mike announced the President<br />

Mystery Run Dick Danielsen, with the help <strong>of</strong> Chuck and Linda<br />

Laningham, has planned for June 6-9, <strong>2019</strong>. Sign up sheet will<br />

$700.00/couple.<br />

Old Business: Board voted on central meeting location,<br />

rotating between the Danielsen’s and Lebda’s homes due to<br />

long commutes <strong>of</strong> two Board members. Dick expressed the<br />

focus <strong>of</strong> club runs/activities to incorporate <strong>Corvettes</strong>.<br />

Individuals who plan un<strong>of</strong>ficial, non-corvette related events,<br />

cruises or travel can solicit member interest, provide flyers/trip<br />

information at meetings. The Club will not provide sign-up<br />

sheet nor money flow for un<strong>of</strong>ficial trips/activities; those<br />

details will be handled directly with the individual(s) who plan<br />

the un<strong>of</strong>ficial trip/activity. Travel agents are not allowed to<br />

solicit at club meetings. Dick asked for comments or questions<br />

from members; club members agreed. Dick Danielsen made<br />

a motion for club donation <strong>of</strong> $1,000.00 to Kroekerville Picnic<br />

planned for May 3, <strong>2019</strong>. Andy Anderson asked to make a<br />

motion to have club pay for the entire cost <strong>of</strong> Kroekerville<br />

Picnic including the $5.00 trip fee paid by each member that<br />

signs up to attend. Debbie Garrison was recognized to explain<br />

the purpose <strong>of</strong> the trip fee. Various motions were made and<br />

discussed regarding fees, members who sign up and “no<br />

The <strong>March</strong> CVC Meeting has been designated by the<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Directors as a “Special Meeting” to allow<br />

for a vote on a change <strong>of</strong> wording in the club By-Laws<br />

regarding the duties and responsibilities <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Vice-President, Public Relations and Membership.<br />

Several administrations ago, the duties and responsibilities <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Vice-President, Public Relations, were expanded to include<br />

Membership and the By-Laws have never been revised to reflect that<br />

change. The purpose <strong>of</strong> this “Special Meeting” is to vote on new<br />

wording in the By-Laws that will clarify that change. Additionally,<br />

amendments to the By-Laws require a vote <strong>of</strong> acceptance by 2/3 <strong>of</strong><br />

the regular members present at the Special Meeting.

Bertone’s Nivola Concept was a ’90s<br />

Bellwether for the Mid-Engine Corvette<br />

Italian design house Bertone is well known for its over-the-top concepts featuring futuristic,<br />

wedge-shaped styling. But <strong>of</strong> Bertone’s early-1990s creations might have hit the mid-engined<br />

nail on the head when it came to the future <strong>of</strong> America’s sports car—the <strong>of</strong>t forgotten 1990<br />

Corvette Nivola concept. The late-1980s and early ’90s marked an important turning point in<br />

Corvette history. The sports car was finally regaining its footing as a true performance<br />

machine after the Malaise Era crippled the late-C3 with fuel economy and emissions<br />

regulation. It wasn't until the birth <strong>of</strong> the ultra-’80s, fuel-injected C4 that this trend began<br />

reversing itself. With improvements in both power and performance each year, it paved the<br />

road to the 375-horsepower ZR-1 for 1990.<br />

Bertone’s Nivola concept, also released in 1990 at the Geneva Motor Show, showcased just<br />

how far into supercar-dom you could take the fourth-generation Corvette’s parts with some<br />

careful rearrangement and re-imagination. Unlike the neon-green Ramarro <strong>of</strong> 1983 that<br />

preserved the front-engined layout, the Nivola moved the powerplant to the middle, providing<br />

the car with Lamborghini-like proportions with shorter overhangs and a wider stance than its<br />

ZR-1 contemporary.


The looks weren’t the only exotic part, either. Underneath the all-steel body (in contrast to<br />

the C4’s fiberglass construction) was the Lotus-designed, DOHC LT-5 V-8 mated to a fivespeed<br />

ZF transaxle, the same gearbox used in the DeTomaso Pantera. Popular Mechanics<br />

claims the engine’s output matched the ZR-1’s at 375, however other outlets reported the<br />

use <strong>of</strong> twin-turbos to send as much as 650 horses to the 315-section rear tires.<br />

Bertone’s original design called for a complex retractable hardtop, but it settled on a simple<br />

removable targa ro<strong>of</strong> to get the job done. Then there’s the interior—oh-so-’90s purple leather<br />

with light-green accents envelop the cabin and all-digital, early-C4 gauges complete the<br />

psychedelic alien motif. The concept served as an homage to famous 1930s and ’40s Italian<br />

racer Tazio Nuvolari (who’s nickname was Nivola) and its bright paint job was a throwback<br />

to his signature yellow sweater. And while this car was a look back at automotive history<br />

through a famous name, it was also a fairly accurate glimpse into the future <strong>of</strong> the Corvette.<br />

The next-generation C8 is rumored to not only share the mid-engine layout, but also house<br />

a new turbocharged DOHC V-8 and a retractable hardtop, akin to what was envisioned for<br />

Bertone’s Nivola 30 years prior. Whether these rumors actually come to fruition won’t be<br />

known for months, but it’s certainly worth taking the time now to appreciate how advanced<br />

and just-plain-cool the 1990 Nivola concept was, and still is today.<br />

Driving a $10 Million Corvette Grand Sports in the Snow!<br />

Why? Because he can!<br />

Seeing and hearing a 1966 Corvette Grand Sport is rare. A Grand Sport roaring around while<br />

snow is falling is something I’ve never seen. The Simeone Museum isn’t joking around when<br />

it takes Corvette Grand Sport chassis number 002 out for a spin on a winter’s day. The clip<br />

is from back in 2016, when the the museum staff exercised the Grand Sport during one <strong>of</strong> its<br />

demonstration days. (Thanks to the Grand Sport’s fiberglass construction, body rust isn’t a<br />

concern.) The museum sets up such performances to give visitors a new way to experience<br />

the collection: with their ears. Given the inclement weather, the museum staff chose two<br />

fiberglass cars to take for a spin; the Grand Sport is just one-<strong>of</strong>-two such cars that were<br />

converted to roadsters. The sound <strong>of</strong> this roadster is aggressive, and for good reason. It is a<br />

full-bore, unapologetic race car. The big-block 427 exhales through a set <strong>of</strong> unmuffled side<br />

pipes and has a windscreen with a very “you-must-be-this-short-to-drive” feel to it. Seems<br />

like the driver could have used some eye protection during the snowy romp around the<br />

parking lot, and maybe a set <strong>of</strong> winter tires. It is great to see a group so dedicated to<br />

preserving the sights and sounds <strong>of</strong> these pieces <strong>of</strong> automotive history. Hopefully more will<br />

embrace the “drive ‘em, don’t hide ‘em” ethos. Cars are, after all, for driving.<br />

‘In the Garage’ w/Charlie<br />

Could The C8 be Revealed at Amelia Island?<br />

Browsing Facebook last night, I spotted an intriguing post from Tom Falconer. Tom is a fellow<br />

Brit who has always been intertwined with my personal Corvette story. We became friends<br />

when at the age <strong>of</strong> 21, I received one <strong>of</strong> his books as a birthday present from a thoughtful<br />

friend. Tom has put me in touch with his contact for all <strong>of</strong> the cars he’s imported into the UK<br />

from the States. I subsequently went to Tom whenever I was looking for a Corvette when I<br />

lived in the UK. We are both authors <strong>of</strong> Corvette-related books and see each other most<br />

years at Le Mans. We are friends and this post popped up on my Facebook feed last night.<br />

My immediate thought was, ‘why would Amelia Island (https://www.ameliaconcours.org) be<br />

putting on a display <strong>of</strong> mid-engined <strong>Corvettes</strong> in <strong>2019</strong>?’ My immediate answer was that<br />

perhaps GM asked Amelia Island to gather the prototype mid-engined <strong>Corvettes</strong> to form part<br />

<strong>of</strong> a display with the all-new mid-engined C8. Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance takes<br />

place this year on Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 10th. It also coincides with one <strong>of</strong> the world’s biggest and<br />

most important motor shows in Geneva Switzerland. My assumption is that they will launch<br />

the C8 at the Geneva International Motor Show. (https://www.gims.swiss) The show begins<br />

on Thursday <strong>March</strong> 7th. I suspect they’ll probably introduce the new car on Friday and have<br />

the C8 on display along with its two predecessors that Sunday at Amelia Island.<br />
