    President's Message May 2018 Winter … Is It Really Over? Hopefully by now members have had a chance to get their cars out once or twice. Weather has not been great. It has run the gambit, sun, snow, sleet, rain. I’m going out on a limb to say that snow/winter is behind us and it is time for members to get their Corvettes out. Time to rediscover the fine lines of the fiberglass, contours of the seat as you settle in, hands caressing the steering wheel and shift, turn the key, and she comes to life, ready to respond to your every command! The month of May should be full of Corvette fun for members and I ask that you join us when you can. I Look forward to meeting new and old friends!

    CHEVROLETTER July 2021 Vol 2021 Issue 07.0 Director’s Report June 2021 Last month’s Director’s report started by commenting on the near record cold and a month later it is near record breaking heat, welcome to Long Island. Life goes on hot or cold and some members headed out last Sunday to attend the Queens Region show at Rock Hall. John Mahoney, Pat Iannone and I, along with Russ Heim as navigator in John’s 54 set off from Wantagh to the Rock Hall Museum in Lawrence. When we arrive we find Carmine Zito was already there waiting on us! The weather was a bit toasty but we found great spots under a shade tree, later to find out it was dropping sap on our cars. There were about 35-40 cars of all makes and models present. The Queens guys were very cordial and it was a nice easy going day. They will be hosting another event Monday, August 23rd at North Hempstead Beach Park, formerly Bar Beach. Perry Goldberg has once again offered his yard and pool for our August club pool party to be held on August 8th. Perry has a great location with plenty of room to park your cars. Perry has hosted this event a number of times and I highly recommend marking your calendar. The club supplies the burgers, dogs and soda and we ask members to bring either a salad or dessert. I am speculating there is a 99.99%, that is how sure I am that our July meeting will be held inside the Oyster Bay meeting hall on Church Street.

    © The Official Newsletter Of The American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association May 2018 Vol. 51 No. 4 The 2019 Corvette ZR1 is the official Pace Car for the 2018 Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil and will lead drivers to the green flag Sunday, May 27 for the 102nd Running of the legendary race. It marks the 15th time a Corvette has served as the official Pace Car, starting in 1978, and the 29th time a Chevrolet has led the field, dating back to 1948, when a 1948 Fleetmaster Six convertible paced the race. No other vehicle has served as the Pace Car more than the Corvette. To celebrate the iconic supercar's connec- tion to "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," the 2019 Corvette ZR1 and the other 14 Corvettes that have paced the "500" were on display on the front straightaway today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "Chevrolet is proud to once again pace the Indianapolis 500," said Steve Majoros, marketing director for Cars and Crossovers. "The ZR1 is the most powerful and fastest Corvette ever made. It's the perfect choice to pace 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.'" The Corvette ZR1 Pace Car can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.85 seconds and reach a top track speed of 212 mph, the fastest Corvette in history. Chevrolet has a storied history with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Chevrolet was founded in 1911, the year of the inaugural 500-Mile Race, and company co-founder Louis Chevrolet, along with brothers Arthur and Gaston, competed in early Indy 500 races.
