The Great National Road Trip of 2016 --- Part 2

We arrived at the AmericInn at Chamberlain, SD at about 4PM MT time. We are now 687 miles west of St Charles. Within an hour, three more couples scheduled to go on the trip rolled in from Arkansas, Phoenix, AZ and Southern California! We were missing only the Norgrens from Minneapolis area and found out they hoped to join us in a couple of days. Jude and Jim planned the trip and had recently retired and completed a disastrous trip to Alaska in their motor home. Near the end of their Alaska trip, their coach caught fire and burned to the ground before help could arrive. On top of that, Jude had a herniated disc in her back, spent a couple nights in a hospital and was hoping shots would alleviate her pain so they could join us later! Meanwhile, Bob Behlman from CA had spent a great deal of time on the phone with Norgrens and picked up the slack as leader, after some specific urging from yours truly! At our meeting, Bob passed out beautiful schedule booklets with daily activity outlines, pictures and hotel information. Of course, all the hotel reservations for the group were already made. Wheels up was scheduled for 9:00 AM after breakfast in the hotel. Most of our hotels had in house breakfasts, which saves a lot of time. Today we are headed west and will stop at the Pioneer Auto Show and 1880's Town in Murdo, S D. After visiting that attraction for a couple hours, as we were getting in our cars to leave, I leaned back in the driver’s seat of the 69 and accidentally set off the fire extinguisher. Powder and smoke everywhere, but no fire! Somehow, the preventive trigger guard had come off and my weight against it set it off! What a mess. After a brief clean up, we continued west and stopped at the Minuteman Missile site. This included two places not very far apart; the control center building and the actual missile silo. From there we continued to Wall, SD where I got the car washed and vacuumed out after checking in to the Sunshine Inn. The famous Wall Drug Store was down the street so we had a couple hours to browse thru that before dinner at a place called the Badlands Saloon and Grill. The next morning we had wheels up at 8:30AM and we proceeded to the Badlands Loop where we took the drive around the whole loop with several stops at scenic oversights! At one of these, one of our group left his keys in the ignition and his back up keys were in his wife's pocketbook, also in the car. We have some ingenious mechanics in this group and two of them were inside that car in no time! I always keep my spare set in one of the unused pockets of hiking shorts! Next stop was in Rapid City where we visited the Black Hills Gold Company. This is not a gold mining company, but a company that manufactures a very specific style of Black Hills jewelry from gold which they buy!! MC came home with a set of their ear rings and they are very beautiful! From there we drove about 20 miles south to the Town of Keystone and checked in to the Holiday Inn Express This would be our home for 5 nights as we explored the Black Hills! When we got there, we were delighted to find our friends the Norgrens.


Due to Jude's back problems, they were driving their GMC Acadia rather than the 65 Milano Maroon convertible, so you'll see a Maroon SUV in some of our pictures, but we were just glad to have them there! To be continued:

The Grand Sport Is the Corvette for Drivers Reprinted from: www.msn.com www.R&T.com --- Mark "Bark M." Baruth

It was maddening, really. There I was, behind the wheel of the new, hybrid-powered,

technological wonder (and Performance Car of the Year) Acura NSX on my home track, NCM

Motorsports Park, and R&T.com Site Director Travis Okulski was directly ahead of me in the

2017 Corvette Grand Sport. I'd spent the last two laps reeling him in, slowly but surely, but I

couldn't quite catch him. In fact, in Turn Five, the long, fast, sweeping right-hander in the back

section, he actually widened the gap a bit. And although I made it back up in the tighter turns

that followed, I couldn't quite get close enough to force a point-by when we came back around

to the front straight.

You see, I had arrived to the PCOTY test waving the Acura flag loudly and proudly, having piloted

the NSX to victory in the SCCA's Targa Southland event just a few weeks before at the very same

track. And yet here was a crude, pushrod-V8 powered, Made-in-Kentucky Corvette managing to

keep this modern marvel of technology behind its rather wide rear bumper.

What was this voodoo? I followed the admittedly gorgeous Grand Sport into pit lane as quickly

as possible-I just had to find out. Luckily, I had just the right venue to do it.

If you're going to subject a Corvette to scrutiny, there's no better place to do it than Bowling

Green, Kentucky, the final assembly point of every 'Vette since 1981. And if Bowling Green is

Mecca for Corvette owners, then NCM Motorsports Park is the Grand Mosque. Each and every

http://www.msn.com/

http://www.r&t.com/


day, Corvettes (and Corvette owners) of all vintages line up for lead/follow touring laps around

the 3.2 mile track at "above highway speeds." In reality, this equates to about 80 MPH on the

front straight, and cruising speeds everywhere else. All that potential on such a gorgeous

canvas-it would be like hiring Monet to paint your family portrait, and then limiting him to

primary colors only. Corvettes come to Bowling Green, KY to sample only the slightest taste of

their abilities, only to shrink underneath car covers and behind garage doors for the rest of their

days.

As I slide behind the wheel of the Grand Sport, I am determined to make the most of my time

with it. After all, this is the Corvette that has been lauded as the perfect combination of Stingray

powertrain and Z06 suspension-all the grip and balance of a supercar paired with the naturally-

aspirated roar of GM's direct-injected V8 powertrain. But surely it will all fall apart in this

exclusive company. The Grand Sport is a fine car, but it's not a modern marvel like the NSX, or a

finely-tuned scalpel like the Lotus Evora 400, or even a blunt instrument like the Audi R8 V10.

No, it's just another Corvette, a movie that we've seen before, including two of the last three

PCOTY tests. Sure, it's been a great movie, but I fear the Grand Sport is more The Godfather:

Part III than Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.


Making a beeline from pit lane into Turn Two, my suspicions are being confirmed. It's no faster

in a straight line than the Stingray, of course, and it doesn't sound any different, either. But as I

start to accelerate through the relatively benign Turns Three and Four, I realize that I'm carrying

well over a hundred miles toward Turn Five. I briefly remember Okulski's earlier magic trick in

that same turn, and I dare to think I might be able to carry somewhere near 90 through the off-

camber corner.

Okay. Now I get it. Hell, yes, do I get it.

Not only is 90 possible, it's easy. In fact, on the next two laps I get closer and closer to nudging

triple digits, sliding past 95 on the speedometer-no, not with ease, but who wants that kind of

driving to be easy? Feeling the Corvette pull over one G on the optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup

2s isn't just exciting, it's downright intoxicating. As such, the Corvette, down on power in the

straights, does a very un-Vette like thing-it makes time on everybody in the corners?

Along with the Evora, the Grand Sport is the only car here to offer the chance to row your own

gears. It's not a purely analog experience-flawless rev-matching makes that perfect heel-toe

combination sadly unnecessary-but the Corvette makes a marvelous, scientific facsimile of a

driver's car. While the suspension absorbs curbing and elevation changes without a second

thought, it still communicates every scratch on the track's surface. And don't worry about the

seemingly infinite drive modes and stages of traction control. Just turn as many settings "OFF"

as possible and go. The grip and confidence will be there.

At this price, however, there are compromises to be made. While the Grand Sport isn't what

anybody would call cheap-our car was optioned up to $90,260 with the Z07 kit and other

upgrades-it's still the least expensive car in the test fleet. The interior won't stir great aesthetic

joy in the heart of anybody but the most fervent of Vette loyalists. The sound isn't as nasty as I'd

want it to be. And, amazingly, the 460 horsepower generated by the V8 seems almost quaint

among this ensemble.

But if I had the chance to put any of the contenders in my garage, to drive to the office on Friday

and drive to the track on Saturday, there's no question in my mind that the Corvette Grand

Sport would be the one. This isn't the Vette for the owner who only knows how fast the

magazines say his car goes and which cleaning products produce the best shine. This is the Vette

that hangs with cars more than twice its price tag. This is the Vette for the drivers.

So, please, if you buy one, drive it. Do it for all of us who wish we could do it ourselves. Maybe

it's not the Performance Car of the Year, but it's certainly the performance car that provides the

most "Yes!"

WINTER STORAGE TIPS FROM THE CORVETTE EXPERTS Sadly, for those living in a northern climate, it’s time to put away your Corvette for the winter. To help you prep, Corvette expert and race car driver, John Heinricy, offers timely advice on how to prevent costly headaches come springtime.

✓ Change your oil before storage. Contaminants in old oil can cause erosion of seals and gaskets. It’s best to have fresh, clean oil in the engine. Old oil that sits all winter can corrode engine parts. So unless you are driving your car regularly in winter, you shouldn’t worry about doing another oil change in the spring.

✓ Add a fuel stabilizer to keep your fuel fresh.

This will eliminate the need to drain your gas tank since a full tank helps to prevent condensation and rust. I recommend adding 1 oz. of a stabilizer, such as STA-BIL, for every 2.5 gallons of gas. Since most Corvettes hold about 18-19 gallons, add about 7 to 8 oz. of stabilizer.

I’ve heard some Corvette owners add half of the recommended amount of stabilizer to a quarter tank of gas and then fill the tank until it’s almost full and then add the other half of the stabilizer. But running your car for about 5 to 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer to your tank should treat the entire fuel system. The important thing is to make sure you have a full tank before putting your Corvette into storage.

✓ Maintain the battery while your car is stored. I use a battery-maintaining device, such as Battery Tender, during the time that my Corvettes are stored. This will not only keep your battery charged, but it has what is called float capability. Battery Tender reduces the voltage when the battery is fully charged and prevents damage to the Corvette battery. The Corvette battery will last a lot longer this way because life-shortening battery damage due to a “dead” battery will be avoided.

Another option is to just remove the battery


altogether or disconnect the ground cable from the battery.

✓ Avoid parking on flat surfaces. Leaving your Corvette on a hard flat surface for long periods can lead to “flat spots” on the tires, which can give your car symptoms of an unbalanced wheel and create extra noise while driving. Some Corvette owners will overinflate their tires to avoid this, usually filling them to just under the maximum PSI shown on the tire’s sidewall. With today’s tires, flat spotting is becoming less and less of an issue.

My experience is that the flat spotting, which happens during storage, is temporary. When the Corvette is taken out of storage, drive a few miles at lower speeds until the flat spotting goes away and then resume normal driving.

✓And avoid using blocks. One of the problems with putting your Corvette on blocks is shock absorber leakage. If the suspension is allowed to droop completely with the shock absorbers fully extended, the seals in the shock absorber can be compressed for a long time. This could result in leakage when the Corvette is taken out of storage.

If you are worried about permanent flat spotting and don’t want to risk damaging your suspension, a product such as Race Ramps Flat Stoppers might be a good solution. These provide a more even weight distribution and do not conduct heat or cold into your tires despite the changing floor temperatures in your storage area.

✓ Clean your Corvette inside and outside. This helps to keep it looking like new. Protecting treasure from scratches and other potential problems with a quality cover is another good idea. Corvette covers can run anywhere from $150 to $450 so do some research on which one is right for your Corvette.

The most important consideration is selecting the right kind of fabric for your specific storage application. Cotton flannel fabrics breathe and allow air to circulate through them as well as being soft and easy on


your cars paint and wax. Cotton/polyester fabrics have poor fluid resistance and trap heat and moisture. Plastic films should be avoided because they don't breathe.

• Place several mothballs on plates around and under your Corvette to keep mice away. You can also add dryer sheets to the interior and trunk to keep critters away.

• Put a couple of boxes of baking soda out around your car to absorb moisture.

• Crack the windows in your Corvette to allow circulation.

• Put steel wool in the exhaust pipes to keep animals out, but make sure you remember to remove it in the spring before driving your Corvette.

• It might seem like a good idea to start your car up every once in a while, but letting your car idle for any amount of time does not get rid of the condensation that is created in the exhaust system and engine. Do not start the car unless you are going to drive it. Startup is the hardest thing on the engine, especially when the car sits for an extended period of time. Doing it once in the spring is better than many times during the winter.

• Place a “Dry Pac” moisture bag in the interior and engine bay to keep the moisture levels down. Rest them on small plastic bags so they do not come into direct contact with your Corvette.

Vettes & Vets, National Corvette Museum, Nov 3 – 5, 2016 Bob & Norma Joseph and I attended this event. On Thursday morning 140 corvettes Showed up at the Test & Tune Track. The bus from Fort Campbell had 13 wounded warriors. The event was also open to any veteran. We went around the track 3 times completing 3 laps (3 miles and 23 curves) each time. The first time I was by myself, second time gave a Kuwait wounded warrior a ride, and third time gave a World War II Veteran’s wife a ride. The World War II veteran was in the corvette in front of me, his wife rather than stand on the side lines, asked if she could ride with me. The World War II vet was thinking about purchasing a corvette. We then attended the luncheon at the Corvette Museum. Had about 450 people show up. Needless to say, they ran out of food. Then everyone toured the assembly plant. After the tour of the assembly plant, most people toured the museum. We then met at the VFW Post 1298 for a meet and greet. Served a great meal and had fireworks at dusk. The second day about 50 corvettes went on the cruise to Trooper Island. Trooper Island which is maintained by the Kentucky State Police. They monitor about 80 kids a week (10 – 12 yr. old – each able to spend two weeks at the camp) for June and July. Swimming, Fishing, Sports, etc. are available for the kids. The trooper (Johnathan Blievens) drives a red corvette. We were able to tour the island, a lunch was served, and viewed the Troopers Memorial. The other choice for attendee’s was a poker run. Saturday morning 82 corvettes participated in the Bowling Green Veterans Parade. After the parade we went to the VFW Post 1298 for a fish fry. Then we attended a cruise to Aviation Heritage Park to view several aircraft. Finally ending up at Chaney’s Dairy Barn for ice cream. Great time was had by all. John Delore


NCCC Business Manager Insurance Report: Oct. 1, 2016 Insurance to most people is a necessity to have for their protection if and when they need it. Most people have what they believe is necessary while at the same time not understanding what type of coverage they have or don’t have. Recently, it has been brought to Dave Heinemann and my attention that some individuals are confused as to what protection, they as members have, their clubs have, and non-members have. When questioned, they can’t explain it and therefore, leaves others wondering what benefit it is to belong to NCCC which includes insurance coverage. A current example is; we advised last year for clubs to put on their fliers “Non-NCCC participants and workers are not covered by NCCC Insurance”. At our September 10th NCCC Governors Meeting in ST. Louis, MO, we announced to the Governors to immediately remove that statement from all future fliers. Based on the input from a number of members, that statement was causing confusion and led people to tell non-members they had no coverage protection at NCCC events. That is not totally true. I have provided periodic Insurance FAQ updates on our NCCC Website informing everyone who, what, and when are covered at both sanctioned and non-sanctioned club hosted events. A number of members didn’t even know FAQs existed and some of those who knew about them never read them. This article is designed to help simplify what is covered in the FAQs. My October report will focus on Who is covered? My November report will focus on what is covered? The following information is for informational purposes and not intended to override any language or coverages within the current NCCC policies. All insurance coverages are subject to the terms and conditions of the current policies. Who is covered? • Members of NCCC, including Lifetime, Primary, Spouse, Companion, Dependent, Enthusiast, Youth, and Members at Large who hold a current NCCC Membership number in NCCC Inc. are covered under our $1M General Liability Policy, $4M Umbrella Policy, plus a Participant Accident Policy which includes both $25K AD&D (Accident Death & Dismemberment) and $50K Medical. Coverage examples, not limited to, of what coverage you have under the policies as identified above or that in which you are not covered for: 1. If you damage property at a club hosted event/function venue, you are covered. 2. If you hit a vehicle, tent, trailer, golf cart, etc. that is used as part of the event function, you are covered. 3. If you hit an individual as part of the event/function, you are covered. 4. If you hit another vehicle or property not used as part of the event/function, you are not covered. 5. If your personal tent/canopy or any other personal item you are using personally at the event damages property or individual injuries, you are not covered. 6. If you are participating in a club hosted caravan, drive out, parade, car show, club party or picnic you are covered.


7. If you are participating in a group of individuals within the club or with another club that is does not invite the entire club as a club hosted event, you are not covered. 8. If you are on a caravan or drive out in which your spouse/companion is not an NCCC member, but you are, you are covered but they are not covered. • Members of NCCC, who are part of the NCCC Elected & Appointed Executive Board, Regional Officers, & Club Officers are under our Director & Officer Policy which includes $2M plus $4M Umbrella coverage against law suits. All NCCC Clubs share in this aggregate coverage. It is important to note: if you as an NCCC member belong to a Non-NCCC Affiliated Club, you do not have coverage as a member participating in any of their events/functions or as an officer in that club. If you participate in an NCCC Affiliated Club hosted event or function, you are covered. • Members of NCCC, who are elected or appointed to the NCCC Executive Board as an Officer, are covered under our Crime Policy for a variety of items, such as, theft, forgery, & fraud as long as it was not willfully done on the individual officers part. • Non-Members of NCCC, have limited coverage such as: If they are participating in a Club Hosted event/function and they damage property belonging to the venue or in which the Hosted Club is using for that event that would come under NCCC’s policy to cover the property damage. If they hit a worker, or spectator (predicated on why they were hit) NCCC policy may cover that individual. The injured individual may sue the non-member. NCCC coverage does not cover the non-member for legal assistance. However, NCCC coverage does cover the NCCC Member. The non-member is not covered by NCCC Insurance and they are personally responsible for any of the following examples, not limited to: 1. If they hit another car. 2. If their dog bites someone. 3. If they or their animal damages someone else’s property. 4. If they hit someone with their car or otherwise. 5. If their personal tent/canopy blows over and damages someone’s property. 6. Spouses/Companions who are directly associated with a NCCC Member but themselves are a Non-Member of NCCC only have limited coverage as identified above as a Non-Member. This is why it is very important that Clubs develop a rule that all members of their club must also be a NCCC member. This will ensure their club members and the club will have maximum protection. I hope this helps with a basic understanding of who is covered. To get more detailed examples, I ask you go to the current Insurance FAQs located in the Insurance Section of the NCCC Website. Link to FAQ: http://www.corvettesnccc.org/Insurance/insurance_lin_faq-08-19-2016.pdf These are real questions asked by members who have experienced these situations.
