November/December 2014 A Message from the President Dear Fellow CCR Members: This is our last newsletter of 2014! We customarily give the newsletter editor December off! Thanks for all the great work this year, Mike! The premiere event of our club, the Christmas Dinner Dance, is rapidly approaching! It will be held on Saturday, December 6, at the Meadowbrook Country Club. This is always a fabulous event and we have a fantastic band. You can read all about it (if you have not already) elsewhere in this newsletter. By now you should have received you renewal membership mailing, which includes your opportunity to register for the Christmas Dinner Dance. Let's get a big crowd to the dance this year! And let’s get those renewal membership dues in too (and please be sure to include all of your updated information too!). The November Membership meeting is scheduled for Friday, November 14, in the West End. We will hold election of officers that night, so please attend. One position, Vice President, has two candidates, so your votes are needed. If you are not able to attend this meeting, then please get the absentee ballot from our website, and mail it in to the club PO Box to be received no later than November 13th. We had some great events in October, and great weather for them! Danny Terry led the lunch cruise to Blackstone, Karen Dubosky and Bob Brody organized the weekend retreat to Smith Mountain Lake, which included the tour of the fabulous Sink collection of automotive memorabilia. And the rescheduled Heritage Show was held on a gorgeous Sunday, which was OD'd by Bubba and Donna Carr (and thanks to everyone who assisted with this event!). In November we have Thunderbolt Carting OD'd by Paul Murman, the VFW show OD'd by Bob Brody, and the Trivial Challenge OD'd by Paul Murman with some help from the "New Kent Korvette Kontingent"! Thanks to all of the OD's who throughout the year plan these events for all of us to enjoy! If you have not ever OD'd an event, have an idea and give it a try! On December 15, some of our current Board Members will officially retire from their Board duties; Bruce Griggs as Vice President, Margaret Wilson as Recording Secretary, Rob Bickert as Webmaster, and Butch Bateman as Sergeant at Arms. These folks have given years of service to the club, and we all owe them a great big thank you! So when you see them at The Christmas Dinner Dance, tell them how much you appreciate all they have done! By the way, Mike Starr is retiring as Newsletter Editor, but he is staying on as a Board Member and Webmaster (if elected!). So no heartfelt good bye's yet for Mike, but you can thank him too for his great job as Newsletter Editor. I would like to thank all of the members who are running for election or reelection of office; Mike Douberly and Rick Franklin for Vice President, JR Walker for Treasurer, Donna Carr for Corresponding Secretary, Peggy Maloy for Recording Secretary, Bubba Carr for Sergeant-At-Arms, Brandon Kindall for Newletter Editor, Mike Starr for Webmaster, and Dave Dolan for Historian. Also, while not an elected position, Bob Brody had kindly agreed to serve once again as our Event Coordinator! Thanks very much, your willingness to serve the club is loudly applauded! Of course I am running for reelection as your President. It has been a fun year, and if elected, I look forward to serving the club during my second term! Something new and different! The November after meeting party will be held at Mexico Restaurant in Innsbrook! Please join us for some post election socializing. Vamanos a Mexico! Arriba Arriba! Remember, Save the Wave!

November/December 2014 WELCOME NEW CCR MEMBER!! Bob Drake Want to Become a CCR Member ? In 1960, a small group of Corvette enthusiasts began to gather on a regular basis for fun and fellowship. The first official Club meeting took place in July of 1961. CCR is the oldest Corvette club in Virginia with membership approaching 400. To be eligible for regular membership, you must be a person of good character and own a Corvette. You must attend at least one meeting or event. If you don’t own a Corvette, an “associate membership” is available. Associates can participate in all events and functions but have no voting rights. You’ll make good friends, have fun and learn more about Corvettes. Club meetings are at 7:30 p.m. on the second Friday of each month. After the meetings, there is usually a party where you can enjoy socializing with other club members. Annual dues are $25 for pilots or $35 for both the pilot and co-pilot (includes spouse, or significant other/child).

  • 2021 Daytona 24 Hours – a Look Back
    www.porscheroadandrace.com 2021 Daytona 24 hours – A Look Back Published: 5th February 2021 By: Martin Raffauf Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/2021-daytona-24-hours-a-look-back/ Rolex 24 at Daytona, 30-31 January 2021: Some of the Porsches do a publicity shot at the ROAR I first came to this race in 1971, so this would be my 50th year at the Daytona 24 hours. It is an interesting exercise to look back at what has changed over the years. www.porscheroadandrace.com The circuit The track has changed quite a bit since I first attended. Back in 1971 it was 3.81 miles in length and the track had NO chicane, now it is 3.56 miles long with a chicane on the backstretch. The chicane was first used in 1983 and was an attempt to control top speed and save the tyres in the banking. The pit complex and garages are totally different with fewer pits today than in 1971. In reality, only about 55 cars can be accommodated today without sharing pits, but back in the 1970s up to 100 plus cars might be entered for qualifying. Rolex 24 at Daytona, 30-31 January 2021: The IMSA old timers dinner was subdued this year due to Covid19. It was a small group, but a lot of fun in any case, and the tradition www.porscheroadandrace.com continues. From L-R: Steven Charsley, Alwin Springer, Larry Holt, Michael Colucci, Martin Raffauf, Mark Raffauf, John Shapiro, and special guest Steffen Hoellwrath of Porsche Motorsports The other huge change is track lighting.

In 1996, fresh out of Formula 1, young Max Papis came to America and made an immediate impact in the driving circles when, at the end of a particularly tough Rolex 24 At Daytona and at the wheel of the MOMO Ferrari, he put on a very spirited, 'never- say-die' drive to chase the leaders, which earned him the nickname "Mad Max". It stuck, and he is still driving just like that. Papis made his INDYCAR debut in 1996 and collected 3 wins. He made his NASCAR debut in August 2006, competing in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series.
