…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 />

VP <strong>of</strong> Activities – Mike Lebda informed the members <strong>of</strong><br />
upcoming runs and activities (see run/activity schedule<br />
published in Newsletter). Charlie and Kim Fosnaugh hit the<br />
jackpot at the Superbowl party hosted by Mike and Mary Lou<br />
Lebda, raking in 3 out <strong>of</strong> the 4 quarter winnings. Connie<br />
Anderson was the domino queen who also ended the<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 />
be available at <strong>March</strong> meeting, limited to 20 cars. Cost is<br />
$700.00/couple.<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 />

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 />

‘In the Garage’ w/Charlie<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 />
