PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
October is now upon us, time to slow the pace a bit and enjoy
the crisp air and cool nights. October was named by the
Romans who used a 10 month lunar calendar and with October
being the 8th month of the lunar year the month was named
after the Roman word octo – which means eight. When the
Romans eventually converted to the 12 month calendar year,
October became the 10th month of the year, but retained its
name.
October is packed with fun filled events for Corvette
enthusiasts. The Ocean City, Maryland, trip has been on my
bucket list for years, but since we have been watching
grandkids for the pasts 8 years, attending this event has been
out of the question. This is our last year of watching the little munchkins, and I would
never trade this for the world, but I do see us attending next year if at all possible. This
event is a huge gathering of Corvette enthusiasts. Currently 559 Corvettes are
registered. Mike and Renee Dansereau will also be hosting a wine class and tasting on
October 19th. Total Wine conducts these wine classes with a wine expert who is able to
provide insight into the wine’s characteristics, dominant flavors, and food pairings. High
end French wines will be featured at this class. Bordeaux, one of the most famous of
wine blends in the world will be one of 8 different wines on the menu. Red Bordeaux is
made from combining Cabernet Savignon and Merlot wines, with different regions of
France where the grapes are grown determining the dominant flavors of that wine. Also
on the list will be Pinot Noir, which originates from the Burgundy regions of France . The
grapes are tiny with a very thin skin resulting in a delicate, light to medium body.
These classes and tastings are so much more than just sampling wines, and at the end
of the last class, we all were invited to help finish the opened bottles of wine sampled
earlier, and we were more than happy to accommodate Roy. This will be my third wine
class that I have attended and it has helped me maintain focus and a positive outlook.
My philosophy as of late is “Life’s too short to drink cheap wine.” It certainly works for
me.
Elections for Club officers will be held at the November membership meeting. All offices
are open to anyone seeking to run with the exception of the President, which is a 2 year
term and open to new candidates every 2nd year. This year all of the candidates are
running unopposed so the Secretary will cast a single vote to elect the candidates on the
slate, with Ernie Betulia as Treasurer, Sharon Tosetti as Secretary, and Joyce Baiardi,
Jack Stacey, and Steve Widger as Directors at Large. With no new candidates for Vice
President, and 1 open position for Director at Large, the Executive Board will decide on
appointments for these open positions in December.

Our Adirondack Weekend
For those of you who developed a love of
muscle cars during the 60’s and 70’s, this is
the weekend for you. You are surrounded by
muscle cars, hot rods and Corvettes, from the
ridiculous to the sublime, in parking lots, on
the streets and clogging traffic. The smell of
high-octane fuel and burning rubber fills the
air. This is the essence of the Adirondack
National Hot Rod Show which brought more
than two thousand cars into Lake George, New
York on September 6 and 7, 2019.
Bob and Sue Wadyka along with Rich and Rhonda
Forristall traveled upstate on Thursday. Bob and Sue
have been bringing their Hot 71 to this two day show for
eleven years. This year Bob received an award for “Best
Corvette” chosen by Joyce Rochester and sponsored by
Albany Rods and Kustoms. This is quite an honor when
you factor in the number of registered Corvettes in the
show.
He was a bit nervous about winning the award as the
71 has very little room in the car for trophies.
However, this is a lovely engraved clock that fit in
the car with room to spare. This was the best
weekend, weather wise, we have ever had in Lake
George, with warm days and slightly cool nights. NO
RAIN! There was even swimming in the lake. YEH!
Sunday morning dawned bright and clear and it was
time to travel seven miles down the road for the 28th
Annual Adirondack VetteFest Show sponsored by our
friends from the Adirondack Corvette Club. This is a totally separate event from the Hot
Rod Show but they wisely hold it on the same weekend for a bigger draw at their show.
They registered a record high 111 cars and the 50/50 raffle reached a high of $1400.00.
Pag

We met Club members Donna and Jerry Breen
and Nina and David Zscheke who reported a fun
weekend of cruising and socializing. Club
Corvette proved lucky again with both Donna
and David winning raffle prizes.
Bob’s car was
recognized as a
Top Ten pick by
the local GM
dealer
sponsored by
Upstate
Corvette
Dealers with
another trophy.
This is the 4th
year in a row that Bob’s car has been selected for
an award. He has 2 top 10 awards and last year it
was the mayor of Queensbury that picked his car.
Congratulations to Bob and Sue for their Hot 71.

Happy Hour on the Trolley
On Saturday, September 19th, 35 Club members enjoyed happy hour at the East Haven
Trolley Museum. We want to give a huge shout out to Mike Hildreth for arranging the
logistics of our visit. We were given the use of a private trolley car which was lined with
tables for our great spread of food and drink. We traveled out on the trolley line,
stopping along the way to learn about some history of the area. On our return Mike had
Dennis and Stan take the controls. They managed to stay on the tracks, had no
speeding tickets and found their way back to the storage barns. Mike talked about the
history of the various cars in the barn and the restoration of each of them. In the
workshop was a PATH car which had been recovered from the Trade Towers on 9/11.
This car came to the Trolley Museum because of a mistake that was made in the original
plans. Originally it was designated to go to Buffalo, New York, but because of an
incorrect measurement, the car would not fit in the space available. An insuring search
for an alternative location that housed historic rail cars was begun. The Trolley Museum
was selected as the resting place for this historic piece of machinery. The car on
display, #745, was the lead car of the train that day. The story behind this recovery is
that on 9/11, the train was able to be evacuated without any loss of life.
The trolley run is an historic piece of local history. The current route at one-time in its
history would deliver passengers to the Talmadge Hotel. The hotel was famously known
as Nellie Green's prior to being called the Talmadge Hotel and during this time it was a
local speakeasy. Yes, Nellie Green was a local bootlegger; the trolley was one of the
ways in which folks could arrive at that establishment.
After our Trolley ride we checked out the displays in the museum. Everyone had a great
time.
Thanks again Mike, our man at the museum, and to Joyce Baiardi, the event organizer!
Let’s do it again sometime.

For Corvettes Only Show
September 22, 2019
Ten Club members traveled to the Crystal Mall for FCO’s annual show. The morning was
very foggy and driving was difficult but once the sun came out it was a beautiful day.
Club Corvette found this shady area and everyone enjoyed the day. We wandered over
to the Longhorn Steak House for lunch, as there were free appetizer coupons in our
goody bags. It does help if you remember to bring the coupon to the restaurant. Gail
and Lucy both went home with raffle baskets and Don won a trophy for his C4 Pace Car.
Congratulations to all of the winners!

No other words are needed
While creating this collage I needed a picture of the front of Harry’s with the name in it. I went
into my archive of event photos to find the one that I used. On the left are two gentlemen
waiting for their food. Can you identify the one on the right wearing the gray sweatshirt? His

CHEVROLET INTRODUCES FIRST HARDTOP CORVETTE
CONVERTIBLE
Open-air driving has always been a part of the Chevrolet Corvette’s heritage. In
fact, when the Corvette debuted in 1953, it was available only as a convertible.
The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible builds off that heritage as the
first hardtop and mid-engine convertible in Corvette history.
“We put the world on notice when we introduced the first mid-engine Chevrolet
Corvette a few months ago, and now we’re raising the bar with the first-ever
hardtop Corvette convertible,” said Brian Sweeney, Chevrolet U.S. vice president.
“And the convertible will be priced only $7,500 more than entry 1LT Stingray
coupe.”
First and foremost, a convertible
The mid-engine 2020 Corvette Stingray was engineered first and foremost as a
convertible. The convertible maintains the tunnel-dominant structure and use of
high-integrity die-cast parts found in the Stingray coupe.
The team engineered the hardtop to stow seamlessly into the body, maintaining
the Stingray’s impressive ability to store two sets of golf clubs in the trunk even
with the top down. The convertible also keeps the coupe’s front storage
compartment, which can fit an airline-spec carry-on and a laptop bag.
Pag
e15
The hardtop provides a quieter cabin, increased security and a cleaner look
compared to the previous softtop designs.
“Our goal from the beginning was to make sure customers didn’t have to sacrifice
any functionality, performance or comfort when choosing the hardtop convertible,”
said Josh Holder, Corvette program engineering manager. “We managed to keep
the same design theme as the coupe, as well as the exceptional storage capacity
and track capability.”
Inspired by jets
Like the coupe, the Stingray convertible’s design was inspired by fighter jets . The
tonneau cover features aerodynamically shaped nacelles influenced by the housing
used for jet engines. The nacelles, which were also used as inspiration on the
Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle (CERV) I and II, as well as the Corvette SS
and SR2 concepts, help reduce air recirculation into the cabin and provide a
remarkably exotic profile with the top up or down. The tonneau also provides a
rear power-adjustable window and a vent for mid-engine cooling.
The two-piece top can be activated at speeds up to 30 mph and retract in as few as
16 seconds. It is powered by six electric motors — a Corvette first — and uses
encoders for precise control. Switching to electric motors from hydraulic systems
helps increase reliability. A body-colored roof is standard, while Carbon Flash
metallic-painted nacelles and roof are optional.
Careful attention was paid to make sure the engine could breathe when stored
underneath the tonneau cover. The sheet-molded composite top stows in a
compartment made from lightweight composite panels and heat shields to manage
heat from the engine.
A divider glass window in the middle of the vehicle can be power adjusted with the
top up or down. The glass has been optimized to reduce air recirculation and wind
noise in the cabin for improved quietness. The roof system design, combined with
the same rear spoiler used on the Stingray coupe’s Z51 Performance Package,
results in identical drag between the coupe and convertible with the top up.
Engineers tweaked the chassis for the convertible, with springs and dampers tuned
specifically to provide nearly the same performance as the coupe.
No compromise performance
Like the Stingray coupe, the convertible is powered by the next-generation 6.2L
Small Block V-8 LT2 engine, the only naturally aspirated V-8 in the segment. It will
Pag
e16
produce 495 horsepower (369 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque when
equipped with performance exhaust — the most horsepower and torque for any
entry Corvette.
The LT2 is paired with Chevrolet’s first eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, which
provides lightning-fast shifts and excellent power transfer. This transmission is
uniquely designed to provide the best of both worlds: the spirited, directly
connected feeling of a manual and the premium driving comfort of an automatic.
The double-paddle de-clutch feature even allows the driver to disconnect the clutch
by holding both paddles for more manual control.
When combined, the advanced propulsion system, revised chassis tuning and
retractable hardtop make the 2020 Stingray the most no-compromise Corvette
convertible in history.
Build and price tool now available
Interested Stingray shoppers can now build and price their own Corvette coupe or
convertible on the 2020 Corvette visualizer at Chevrolet.com.
A dedicated Chevrolet Corvette Concierge team will provide 2020 Corvette
customers with answers about the vehicle discovery, buying and ownership
process. The team can be reached by calling 866-424-3892. Customers can also
live chat with a Corvette Concierge by visiting Chevrolet.com. The team is available
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EDT Mondays through Fridays.
The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray coupe goes into production at GM’s Bowling
Green Assembly in late 2019, with the convertible following in late first-quarter
2020. A right-hand drive version of the convertible will be available in select
international markets at a later date.

If there is an item you would like please send me an e-mail at walt.kaercher@comcast.net and we can make arrangements to get the garment of
your choice to you. Otherwise, I will have all of our remaining inventory at the October meeting. First come, first served!
As always, if there is an item you would like that we do not have in our inventory we can
order it from our supplier, Galli Apparel.
Thank you, Walt Kaercher
