The month of February will go down as one of the most hectic in my term as your president. On the 4th we all showed up for nightriders. As soon as we got there one of our members experienced a problem with one of the employees in Blockbusters. This was all over our parking in the lot behind their business. When I went into discuss the matter with the individual, I got into a confrontation with him and a customer that was in the store. I decided not to call the St Lucie Police Department when the manager apologized and tried to quiet the whole situation. We then headed to Carbone's Italian Restaurant for a great pizza. This month, we also started to plan the May Car Show. A trip up to the marina site in Ft Pierce revealed that the farmers market has doubled its size and that the city wished us to move to a nice park a quarter of a mile up along the river. After visiting the site and looking at others, we decided to use the park as they suggested. We thought that we booked the date but later found out that the calendar that the clerk was using was not the "official one". Naturally the date that we wanted was taken back in January. After a lot of discussions we decided to move the date to April 25th, a week before our trip to Sarasota. Now we have at least two weeks less to put the car show together. On the 17th we had our first car show meeting at Josef's. Thanks to everyone who showed up and agreed to help out with the show. Barry Hinken has been putting in a lot of hours planning this event. The rest of the month we will be working on the car show and again please get involved. We can use all the help we can get and it is a lot of fun. Just contact Barry Hinken at 772-485-3488 We were invited to go down and visit the Corvette Club from the Palm Beaches on the 2nd. Due to bad weather, we had to reschedule the event until the 16th. We had a great turnout (24 members and 14 cars) and a nice cruise to Clematis Street. However, when we got there, they also had more members show up than they expected and thus put a heavy strain on the kitchen at Roxy's Restaurant. We did meet some great people and got to see many beautiful corvettes parked on the street. The Palm Beach Club said that they will try and give us a good turnout for our upcoming car show on the 20th. We had Brunch with Barry with another 30 members and guests coming out for breakfast. I am always looking for great locations so if you have any you want to share, please let me know. This is a great club with great cars and great members. Get active. You will be surprised at the fun that you will have. Also if you have any problems, please let me know. I am very interested in what you think and will try and correct any misunderstandings that we might have. Until next time, save the wave!

  • From Quattro to E-Tron
    Audi MediaInfo Audi motorsport history From quattro to e-tron Audi positions itself as the sportiest manufacturer in the premium segment and has a perfect basis to do so: motorsport. Sportiness, advanced technology and emotive design are the basis for the success of the Audi brand. The genes for this have their origin in racing – since 1980. The success story began with the Audi quattro Excluding the era before the Second World War including the legendary Auto Union Grand Prix race cars in the 1930s, the motorsport history of AUDI AG began with the Audi quattro. The dominant victories and two manufacturers’ and two drivers’ titles achieved with the “original quattro” in the World Rally Championship between 1982 and 1984 were an important factor in the market success of quattro drive. quattro victorious in circuit racing as well After Audi had turned rally racing upside down and stormed up Pikes Peak (USA) with the Sport quattro in record time on three successive occasions, Audi made quattro drive fit for circuit racing as well: initially with the Audi 200 quattro and the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO in the United States, in 1990 and 1991 with two championship titles for the Audi V8 quattro in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) – and ultimately also with the A4 in the production- based super touring cars.

  • Using the Adventures of a Comic Book Motorsports Hero As an Approach To
    SPORT IN HISTORY, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1080/17460263.2017.1358655 Engines at top speed! Using the adventures of a comic book motorsports hero as an approach to understanding recent French history Sébastien Laffage-Cosniera, Noemi García-Arjonab and Christian Viviera aU-Sports Besançon, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France; bUFR STAPS Rennes, University of Rennes 2, Rennes, France ABSTRACT Jean Graton created a series of comic books called Michel Vaillant, and its motorsports hero bore the same name. Michel Vaillant made his first appearance in 1957 in the weekly Tintin. Young French boys who loved adventure, sports and car racing greeted this publication with great enthusiasm. We studied the first series of Michel Vaillant, composed of 16 comic books produced in the 1960s. We have departed from traditional approaches and have based our method on the analysis of the sources of Graton’s inspiration. We link these sources to the comics’ text bubbles, visual signs and iconic meanings of the drawings. Our analysis of the comics’ iconography based on the establishment of a mass culture dedicated to the automobile brings to light the existence of an urge to go beyond the limits of tradition. Our research highlights that the success of Michel Vaillant is due, in the main, to the series’ detailed knowledge of the automobile sports industry, and to the myths of speed, youth and progress that it promulgates – myths in which its young male readers could see themselves reflected and which would also prepare them for the future. Introduction In 2002, the Sport & Comics Exhibition was held at the International Festival of Comics in Angoulême, France: the Ninth Art had included sport.1 Some time after this, university studies were published which analysed the represen- Downloaded by [Australian Catholic University] at 05:19 25 September 2017 tation of sport in the most well-known comic books.

Cross-country rallying will be the spearhead of the factory motorsport commitment in the future. “A multifaceted commitment to motorsport is and will remain an integral part of Audi’s strategy,” says Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board of Management at AUDI AG. “We want to continue demonstrating the brand’s slogan ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ in international top-level motorsport in the future and develop innovative technologies for our road cars.

  • Dossier De Presse
    DOSSIER DE PRESSE 1 MICHEL VAILLANT A MONACO Grimaldi Forum Monaco Espace INDIGO (Entrée libre et gratuite) Du 4 au 9 mai 2017 Cette exposition a pour but de rendre hommage aux deux plus grands mythes de l’histoire automobile que sont Monaco et Michel Vaillant. En effet, au même titre que l’oeuvre de Jean Graton, Monaco est devenu un symbole mythique de la course auto. Le Grand Prix de Monaco ou le Rallye Monte-Carlo ont apporté au sport automobile des lieux-culte, associés à d’inoubliables exploits humains. Ces théâtres de la dramaturgie de la compétition automobile ont été représentés par Jean Graton tout au long de son oeuvre Michel Vaillant, devenue en soixante ans, la bande dessinée culte de l’aventure automobile. Monaco fut représenté maintes fois par Jean Graton dans les aventures de Michel Vaillant. On peut observer, au fil des 70 albums des exploits du plus célèbre pilote de la BD, l’évolution du circuit le plus célèbre du monde. Le voyage est fantastique, car ce regard croisé entre un lieu et une oeuvre offre une vision originale, créative, artistique et technologique d’une aventure sportive et artistique. L’exposition présentera dans l’Espace Indigo : 20 planches originales et 20 Art Strips, dans une scénographie originale Définition des Art Strips chez Michel Vaillant : En manipulant les planches originales de Michel Vaillant, Dominique Graton, Directrice artistique de la Fondation Jean Graton, a été interpellée par le fait que la bande dessinée est le seul art où l’on réduit le travail de l’artiste pour le publier.
