It marks the 14th time a Corvette has served as the official pace car, starting in 1978, and the 28th time a Chevrolet has led the field, dating back to 1948. No other vehicle has served as the pace car more than the Corvette. “Chevrolet is proud to once again pace the Indianapolis 500,” said Steve Majoros, marketing director for Cars and Crosso- vers. “The Corvette Grand Sport’s performance capability and motorsports heritage make it the perfect choice to pace the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” The 2017 Corvette Grand Sport pace car features: •460-hp (343 kW) LT1 direct-injected V-8 engine with dry-sump oiling and active exhaust •Eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission •Equipped with the available carbon-fiber ground effects package •Specific Grand Sport wheel design: 19 x 10-inch (front) and 20 x 12-inch (rear) •Standard magnetic ride control, specific stabilizer bars and unique springs •Standard electronic limited-slip differential •Includes the available Z07 package, with carbon ceramic-matrix brake rotors and 285/30ZR19 (front) and 335/25ZR20 (rear) high-performance tires •Brembo Carbon Ceramic brake system with 15.5-inch (394 mm) rotors with six-piston calipers in front and 15.3-inch (380 mm) rotors with four-piston calipers in rear •Unique Indy 500 graphics package. "Let us introduce you to our daughter Karen Grous Masino" "Bob and Fran Grous" Contemporary Corvette 2705 Old Rodgers Road Bristol, PA 19007 (215) 788-8605 www.contemporarycorvette.com RECENT ACTIVITIES April 24, 2017 CF Martin Guitar factory & Weyerbacher Brewery MARTIN GUITAR FACTORY TOUR It was a cloudy then rainy day but several of us braved the weather and brought out the vettes. After meeting at McDonalds in Plumsteadville we headed for Martin Guitar. On our way we ran into some roads “under repair” which caused some delay. Fortunately, our side of the road was smooth most of the way. You just never know when they will do those road repairs. It was pretty interesting at our Wawa pit stop. A very large and high piece of farm equipment was in the parking lot when we arrived. This equipment could have easily run over any of our vettes and it almost did. Fortunately the driver saw the Griffins backing in their new red C-7….glad the driver saw you Glenn and Robin! Upon arriving at C.F. Martin & Co., Inc. we had a parking area reserved for us. It was a perfect opportunity for a photo shoot. As we entered the main lobby we were greeted with “Welcome Liberty Region Corvette Club” on the TV monitor. The tour itself was directly on the factory floor which allowed us to get a real up close view of the workers in ac- tion. Ralph and Page picked up a few woodworking tips. We were amazed by what craftsmanship goes into these guitars. In case you were wondering, the prices range from a few thousand dollars to over $150,000. After the tour each of us re- ceived a center hole for a guitar with the Martin logos and 2017 stamped on it. There was an on-site museum, gift shop and two guitar playing areas. Ralph and Glenn showed us their talent in the higher end picking area; Frank and his son Joe headed for the other picking area and the rest of us toured the museum. The museum has a significant collection of Martin Guitars including the private collection of Mr. Martin. As usual, we all were hungry and headed on a short drive to Diner 248. This place is a diner with a full service bar and nice selection of food and drinks. Carolina and Tom have been there before with Carolina’s family so we knew the place was good. After lunch we decided to head to Weyerbacher Brewery in nearby Easton. As we pulled in with the vettes, some staff members came out to talk and take photos. We were asked to show our vettes in June for a new beer that they are pro- ducing with a red corvette on it. We will let Ralph tell you about that …..if it all works out for LRCC to show our cars. Well another great LRCC activity is in the books. Until the next activity………………… Tom and Carolina The Roebling Museum Car Show 4/29/2017 Attended By: Peg & Ralph Carita Emilie & Jack Thomas Sue & Mike Mitchell Page Van Atta Fred Steinouer Tony Perrucci Sesame Place Parade 4/29/2017 Sesame Place May 29, 2017 Bringing out the kid in us all! Whew, what a morning! Oh yeah, you weren’t there. Arriving at Sesame Place after a 4:00 AM thunderstorm we were all excited to drive the characters in the season’s opening to the public. After a quick wipe down of the Vettes we all went to the staging area in the order we were assigned at rehearsal. This year’s parade was different then the other parades we had participated in past years at Sesame Place. Each Corvette drove one character through park. Between the cars were participants and other characters showcasing events that will take place throughout the season. Oops, getting ahead of myself. We were lined up in the staging area waiting for all the characters and watching the sky for clearing and sunshine. We heard an excited “here they come,” not from any small child but from the kid in us. Then there was take my picture, oh there’s Elmo, look Big Bird is over there, let’s get a picture. Hey can you take a picture of me with my phone. Did you get all of them? I guess we were just excited to be doing this again. Our lineup was Tom Conery & Elmo, Ron Buckley &Abby Cadaby, Peter Railey (Betsey’s son) & Telly Monster, Don Andrews & Rosita, Mike Garozzo & Zoe, Don Hindle & Super Grover, Dee Abney & Baby Bear, and Don Controy & Count von Count. Big Bird, Bert & Ernie, Cookie Monster and others walked the parade route through the park greeting the happy smiling face of children of all ages. There was a marching school band, magicians, jugglers skaters, animal puppets adver- tising Jack Hanna event and much more. Big smiles and fun all around. It’s going to be a great season for Sesame Place. We Had Fun!! Dee Seven Stars Original Taxes are Over Dinner May 7, 2017 It has been a long time since the Original Stick-Shift Gourmet has written for the Vette Gazette. Well, I am back! We were off to a rainy Sunday afternoon start and this did not deter our drivers from driving their Cor- vettes. Thank you guys! We headed to one of my favorite restaurants and I hope it is one of yours. The place is the historic Seven Stars Inn established in 1736 as a Publick House. Some of our group met us there while others caravanned from Plymouth Meeting. As we arrived at the restaurant you always find us greeting each other with hugs, kisses, handshakes and ready to enjoy the outing. But while we are waiting for everyone to come in let’s order something from the bar before we go upstairs to our dining room. Our club’s libation the Liquid Cocaine recipe can be found with the bar- tender. Some of the appetizers I noticed being ordered were Scallops Dijon, Snapper soup, New England Clam Chowder, Lump Crabmeat Stuffed Mushrooms which is one of my favorites. I heard great satisfaction from Ralph about the Veal Parmigiana, Filet Mignon was had by Ron, Veal A La Oscar melted in my mouth because the veal was so tender, the Shrimp Combination was very good according to Carol. A few ordered and enjoyed the Sautéed Lobster, Crab, Shrimp & Scallop in cheese wine sauce. Elena thoroughly enjoyed the King Crab legs. This restaurant is known for their large portions and good ser- vice. The specialty of the house is the humongous Prime Rib done to perfection which was ordered and definitely enjoyed by a few. EVERYONE enjoyed their meal and some of us were able to take enjoyment home for another meal. If you were unable to attend I hope you will be able to go with us the next time. Great food and drinks and even better company.

  • Lasalle Solutions Supports Soldierstrong Through Turns for Troops Charitable Program
    Press Contact Beth Kirshenberg LaSalle Solutions 847.823.9600 [email protected] LaSalle Solutions Supports SoldierStrong Through Turns for Troops Charitable Program Every Lap Completed at 2017 Indy 500 Will Benefit Veterans ROSEMONT, Ill., May 24, 2017 — LaSalle Solutions, a leading provider of technology lifecycle asset management services, announced today that it has partnered with United Rentals and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing on their Turns for Troops program. LaSalle Solutions will donate $25 to SoldierStrong for every lap Verizon IndyCar Series driver Graham Rahal, driver of the #15 Honda, completes during the 2017 Indianapolis 500 on May 28. SoldierStrong applies donations toward the purchase of state-of-the-art medical technologies and implementation of educational programs that benefit injured veterans across the country, helping them to—literally—take their next steps forward. “We are grateful that LaSalle Solutions has joined the Turns for Troops program to support us during the Indy 500,” said Chris Meek, co-founder and chairman of SoldierStrong. “Their contribution will help us in our efforts to provide cutting-edge medical technology to veterans. As awareness of this campaign increases, we hope additional partners will follow suit and find ways to get involved.” In 2016, United Rentals, the world’s largest equipment rental provider, and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing first partnered on the Turns for Troops program, raising more than $100,000 for SoldierStrong—which went toward the purchase of cutting- edge robotic medical devices that address a variety of physical rehabilitation needs. SoldierStrong donated these technologies to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide and plans to do the same with this year’s proceeds.
