I hope each of you had a joyous Holiday and are looking forward to the New Year; 2014, can you believe we are here already? December brought us a terrific CCR Dinner Dance at the Meadowbrook Country Club. The venue was beautiful, the service was impeccable, the food was so tasty and the band was SO HOT, and the company was delicious! What a wonderful opportunity to relax with fellow CCR members and enjoy a wonderful evening. I know many members were not able to attend, but I do want to encourage you to try and attend this marvelous event in 2014! It is really a bargain as CCR members traditionally only pay one half of the actual cost. Funds raised by the club at our annual roundup car show help pay the balance. Please try and join us for this event next year! Now, many thanks are due to Paul and Gayle Murman for organizing this wonderful event. They helped plan the menu (how about that Meadowbrook Pie?), and created the beautiful table centerpieces, made up place cards for each member, and you name it! Hats off to Paul and Gayle for a spectacular event. Thanks are also due to all of the terrific staff of the Meadowbrook Country Club for a job well done. I also wish to recognize the outgoing board members for all of their terrific work over the past years: Paul Murman for leading us as President, Doris Brody for serving as Corresponding Secretary, and Jeremy Welborn for serving as Newsletter Editor! Great job all of you. Thank you so much! Why are you a member of the Corvette Club of Richmond? Because it is the greatest Corvette Club in the world! It is the people who make it this way; it is fun to participate and be involved. I have seen many new members over this past year become very active in attending events soon after they join. If you are a fairly new member but have not really engaged yourself into the club activities as of yet, come on, we won't bite! We would love to have all members, the old timers and the newbies actively participate in club events. If you have an idea for a club event that you would like to organize, let us hear about it. Coming very soon will be the Valentine’s Day Brunch at Meadowbrook Country Club on February 9th. We also have the general membership meetings on January 10th and February 14th. We could still use a host for the February 14th after-meeting party-any volunteers? I am pleased to serve as your President for 2014 but I need your help. Please always wear your name tag to official CCR events to save my embarrassment if I cannot remember your name-Ha! (Christmas Dinner Dance exempted because all the ladies look so nice and we do not won't to spoil their lovely attire with a name tags.) Of course I can also use your help in supporting the activities of the club. The Roundup on June 7th is an all-hands-on-deck event; so please mark it on your calendar and plan now to participate. We have some other great activities planned during the year: the Million Dollar Quartet cruise, The Bunny Run, Cruise to Captain Billy's, Vettes for Vets show, National Corvette Museum Caravan, and RIR Corrals, but we can do more! Bring us your ideas and willingness to be the OD for your event! Best wishes for the new year and remember, Save The Wave!

  • Sportscar Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
    Contact: SRT Motorsports Captures GTLM Pole Position at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park July 11, 2014, BOWMANVILLE, Ontario, Canada - SRT (Street and Racing Technology) Motorsports won its second pole of the inaugural IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship season, and second in a row at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, when Canada-native Kuno Wittmer topped GTLM qualifying for Sunday’s SportsCar Grand Prix in the No. 93 Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R on Saturday. Wittmer, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, turned a top lap of 1:15.206 (117.709 mph) on his third lap early in the timed 15-minute session. The pole was Wittmer’s first in IMSA competition and he joined teammate Marc Goossens, who won the pole at the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona, as 2014 pole winners for SRT Motorsports. Wittmer co-drives with teammate Jonathan Bomarito, who drove the No. 93 to the GT pole position at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in 2013. The sister No. 91 Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R was qualified by Dominik Farnbacher and will start on the inside of row four on the grid. Farnbacher clocked in with a top lap time of 1:15.728 (116.897 mph) to start seventh with teammate Goossens. Wittmer is the fourth and final full-time SRT Motorsports driver to win a pole in IMSA GT competition. In addition to Goossens’ pole in January at Daytona International Speedway and Bomarito’s 2013 poles at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park and Wisconsin’s Road America, Farnbacher won the pole in 2013 on the street circuit in Long Beach, Calif.

More detailed information and additional photographs are available for accredited journalists from the press database. Development of an LMP1 sports prototype: Porsche returns to Le Mans Porsche returns to Le Mans with a works-run LMP1 sports prototype. The first outing of the race car developed from scratch is planned for 2014. With 16 overall victories, Porsche is the most successful manufacturer in Le Mans. The last overall victory went to the Porsche 911 GT1 in the year 1998. Nürburgring 24 Hours: Porsche triumphs and sets new distance record Dramatic 24 hour sprint: At the 39th running of the classic on the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife (25/26 June), works drivers Marc Lieb, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas as well as Lucas Luhr took the lead with a Porsche 911 GT3 RSR after 7:25 hours ahead of strong competi- tion from Audi, BMW und Mercedes. The quartet fended off rivals to the flag and set a dis- tance record of 3,958.968 kilometres. For Porsche and the Manthey Racing squad, this marked the fifth victory at the “Ring” in the last six years – the same for Timo Bernhard. For the innovative Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid the weekend ran less smoothly. Works drivers Joerg Bergmeister, Richard Lietz, Marco Holzer and Patrick Long led the field after four hours in front of 220,000 spectators, but spent a lot of time in the pits with a broken flange on the differential to finish 23rd.
