Under the Radar Under The Radar The Monthly Newsletter of Corvette Super Sports Volume 51 number 2 February 2010 Corvette Super Sports is a car club made up of Corvette owners with a passion for a fine driving machine, with the goal to participate in and support auto-related activities, such as: car shows, auto- crossing, rallies, drag racing, caravans, cruises, parades, etc. We support (N.C.C.C.) National Council of Corvette Clubs, National Corvette Museum, several social, civic, and charitable organizations. CSS is incorporated as a non-profit organization in the County of Orange, California. We welcome guests to our meetings on first Tuesday of each month at 7:00PM at "SIZZLER" Steak, Seafood & Salad Bar 1401 N. Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92835 (Harbor Blvd. at Brea Blvd.) Corvette Super Sports Charities, By Marietta Darke: For many years, CSS has been a major sponsor for our two main Charities; H.I.S. House Transitional Shelter and CHiP's for Kids. HIS House is a 4-6 month program for homeless men, women, and children to prepare for and secure employment, education and permanent housing. CHiP's for Kids began with an individual CHP officer that spread like wildfire within their own departments. To reach out in the community to help abused, orphaned, and seriously neglected children. Corvette Super Sports was introduced to Hillview Acres Children's Home though our involvement with the CHP. Hillview brings hope through a safe therapeutic environment, to help children regain trust, a place to heal and away from serious emotional disturbances. Through our volunteer and club events such as car shows, visits, work/clean up day, donations, garage sales, Corvette Super Sports donated not only many hours throughout the year but also monetary donations. HIS House and CHiPs, combined, have been recipients of $5000 each year. We hope that this will continue with our SUPERSPORTS member’s efforts. Appreciate your support. As Always, SAVE the WAVE Marietta CSS Charity Rep Charity Donations Corvette Super Sports was blessed during 2009 to have provided venues that attracted many participants. From our activities, we were able to donate to our charities as follows: Hill view Acres $3,500 His House, Placentia $3,500. In addition our members donated new pillows and cases at the end of the year. In addition to our sponsored charities, we also felt compelled to provide funding to other charities: Alzheimer’s $500 Counsel On Aging $500 Corvette Super Sports believes that it is our duty to participate in other Corvette Club’s activities to support their charities. Corvette Super Sports' Charities These are the organizations and programs our members support ... because we believe in "giving back" to the communities in which we live ... and drive ... our Corvettes.

The meetings’ venue will be changed each month to add variety. Board meetings are open to all members. We encourage you to attend and welcome your comments pro and con. Come to a board meeting and you too can be pictured here! Hello From Me To You – Take II Madam Pres Wow…… It’s March 2010. I am so very saddened……. especially this morning, knowing that I will be going to pay tribute to our sweet Ilona Alciatore , but now learn this morning, that we have lost our big guy, Dave Stewart. I only want to envision both of them high above waving down on us………. I would like to remind everyone, that I have been President for 2 months……. At this time, I am NOT holding a very good record in this area. “IF” I need to write about this again…… it will be my resignation speech. Don’t think I’m kidding. This is the year 2010, on my watch as President and the loss of two of our dearest CSS members, Ilona Alciatore (January) and Dave Stewart (February) is truly something I wish I could have missed. Dave and Ilona both have been icons for this club with their love of Corvettes and life itself. Dave…. What can you say about that sweet big guy…..always willing to give you a big gentle hug…….. I’m sure I’m not alone holding my broken heart……. Our lives will be empty without the two of you in it. I survived my first Board Meeting and General Meeting without being impeached, I call that progress. During our February meeting, I asked Joe after the meeting if everything was ok. I was a little concerned when I asked if anyone had anything to say and the room went…..silent….. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard that sound at our General Meetings before! Sweetheart Bowling – words come to mind such as Advil, Ben-Gay, furry handcuffs and laughs! I can’t tell you what a fun events these bowling games are at my age! I just love a challenge! Vicki and Linda could never leave the club, they just know how to entertain a fun loving group too much! Thanks again Linda & Vicki! Prado – means shotguns and for some means some pretty good bruises! Oh, and some more Advil! Joe and I joined the posse that went to Prado and while I was fortunate to use Art Huhta’s shotgun (Thank you so much, Art), Joe used the old one we have sitting at home, never used. Shooting trap, is a kick. No, I mean really a kick! Art was gracious enough to coach me, everyone else should thank Art for that too, since this was my first time with a shotgun! My first shot was scary…. I YELLED ‘PULL’ AND I HIT THAT FLYING ORANGE UFO! Joe said he was seeing a ‘skirt’ at that moment. Lucky for him, out of trying 50 times, I only got a total of 3, which were very exciting to get, but the other 47 shots were fun too! We have many fun events planned for our future, however, continue to seek out even more. If you hear of any excitement going on out there, don’t keep it a secret! I’m looking forward to stirring up the enthusiasm within CSS this year, but I’ll need your help, so take your vitamins!!! Don’t forget to wear your St. Patrick’s Day attire for the March meeting! Or just show up Green! With Pride for Corvette Super Sports, Cindy Orrico President - 2010 CSS News The Social events for March 2010 are: 3/13 Wineries & Wildflowers Julian, CA 3/14 Oasis Camel Farm Ramona, CA 3/27 Girvin 40th Anniversary Party Brea, CA The Club events for March are: 3/27 Vapor Trails Lowspeed Autocross Santa Maria, CA 3/13- Palm Springs Corvette Club Low Speed Autocross 3/14 Indio, CA Please help us keep our records up to date.

  • Audi TDI Power Helps Overtaking
    Communications Motorsport Jürgen Pippig Eva-Maria Veith Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 34200 Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 33922 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] 9 May 2008 Audi TDI Power helps overtaking • Fourth round of American Le Mans Series close to Salt Lake City • Audi R10 TDI with torque advantage • Diesel sportscar continues to make headlines Ingolstadt – Three races, two wins: The results of the Audi R10 TDI in the 2008 American Le Mans Series 2008 are impressive. Boosted by two overall victories on the street circuits in St Petersburg and Long Beach, the Audi Sport North America team comes as championship leaders to Salt Lake City, Utah, where Audi’s diesel sportscar has already played a leading roll twice. Emanuele Pirro in particular made the headlines in the previous two years. In 2006, the Italian kept Lucas Luhr, at that time sill at the wheel of a lighter LM P2 Porsche, at bay during the dramatic closing stages and crossed the finish line as winner by a mere 0.318 seconds. Pirro managed quite probably the most spectacular start of the year at Miller Motorsports Park in 2007: Starting in eighth position with the Audi R10 TDI, he stormed into the lead before the first corner after overtaking every competitor, who had started in front of him, on the long start-finish straight. The sensational manoeuvre was viewed frequently on many Internet based video portals afterwards. It was yet another impressive demonstration of the performance of Audi TDI Technology, which is long since established in Europe and is also launched on the American market at the end of 2008.

  • Porsche Parade 2010 a Real “Trip” - by Chuck Hennings My First PCA Parade Is Over and I Have to Say It Was an Outstanding Experience
    THE CITRUS SPIEL THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE CITRUS REGION PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA Volume 36 - Number 8 August 2010 photo by Chuck Hennings Chuck by photo Porsche Parade 2010 A Real “Trip” - by Chuck Hennings My first PCA Parade is over and I have to say it was an outstanding experience. During one of the dinners I attended, they did a sur- vey of members about the number of Parades attended. All guests stood, then sat down as the number of years were announced. I believe the last man standing had attended all but 5 of the 55 Parades. And many others had attended twenty and thirty plus. One person had driven over 3000 miles from Alaska (and of course won the Long Distance Award)! As you can tell, these were the heart and soul, hard-core members who had dabbled in Porsches most of their lives. Coming to Parade for them (and now me) celebrated not only car memories and experiences but the chance to see old and new friends and share driving and social activities at the highest Club level. Inside This Issue I caravanned up to St. Charles. Illinois, site of the Parade, with David and Ginny O’Neal from Space Coast. They had the comfort of a Cayenne but I thought my 2003 Carrera 4S would do Porsche Parade Cover fine despite the length of the drive.

    2 0 1 0 DESIGN DEVELOP BUILD RACE WIN 13412 Book.indd 1 4/27/11 2:10 PM P R A T T & MILLER ENGINEERING 2010 BUILT OUT OF PASSION WE’VE WEATHERED THE STORM AND COME OUT STRONGER It has been a difficult couple of years in our industry, but we have weathered the storm. And now that we’re through the dark days, all the good things we hoped would happen are happening. It’s all thanks to the hard work, focus, expertise, and some sacrifice, on the part of our employees. Our biggest customer, GM, kept us with them through the bankruptcy, and that decision wasn’t because we were the low-cost provider. It was because we were – and are – the best. Now, GM is showing their confidence in us with the new Cadillac CTS-V race car program, and increasing activities in all the areas where we’ve been involved in the past. We’ve been doing extremely innovative work that has caught the attention of some very sophisticated customers, who have been pleased and excited about what we accomplished for them. As a result, the engineering services business has grown dramatically, including areas like robotics and autonomous vehicle controllers – projects that are right out there on the leading edge of the world’s emerging technologies. That’s what we always hoped our efforts would accomplish. It’s also interesting how our roots in motorsport affect the perceptions of customers and prospective employees. Do they think it’s a frivolous activity, just done as a hobby, that could never mean anything significant for them? In reality, the exact opposite is true.

The Corvette has evolved to the point where it's a genuine rival to far more expensive vehicles, such as the Porsche 911.” The Corvette Team Cuts and Pastes Up an Awesome New Model from Existing Parts. By scrounging up some of their best performance hardware, they've managed to cobble up a new car that just might be cool enough to warrant resurrection of the storied Grand Sport moniker.
