I see it when I look in the mirror. I feel it too. Sometimes my body refuses to do what my mind tells it to. Other times it hurts too much to do what I want to do. I often need an afternoon nap. Reminders of my advancing age are everywhere. At the barber shop it still surprises me when the shorn hair falling on the floor from my head is all gray. I have my doctor’s phone number on speed dial. A heating pad is my constant companion. And, they now give me the senior discount on my meal at restaurants. I’ve gotten old. I fit the demographic of the average Corvette owner, which is 60ish. Probably like you, I grew infatuated with the Corvette in my childhood. As soon as I was old enough to afford the insurance premiums and I had the means, I bought my first Corvette. Since then I have owned Corvettes in five decades. I first joined a Corvette Club in 1979. Most of the members in that club were around my age, from their mid-20s to mid-30s. As I aged, so did the members of the Corvette Club. Isn’t it strange that one car, the Corvette, seems to appeal to one generation of people? If young adults today are even interested in cars, they are more likely to be attracted to a BMW or an Audi than to a Corvette. I’ve seen an interesting phenomenon at the Barrett-Jackson auctions I’ve worked over the years. If you grew up in the 30s, you covet the cars from that era. Same goes if you were a child of the 40s, 50s or 60s. One particular car may have consumed your daydreams. You yearned for that car, but were too young to drive or you just couldn’t afford it. Now, it’s decades later. You’ve been successful in life, raised your family and you have a little disposable cash for a collector car. You can now have that car you wanted so badly when you were younger. Often, the car you want isn’t one from a generation before you were born. For example, nobody wants a really nice original Model A Ford, anymore. There aren’t many collectors left who grew up in the 1920s and lovingly owned and restored those cars. The prices show it. Same goes for most pre-war cars. What will happen to the Corvette market after we are gone? Will there be Corvette Clubs after our generation? I wish I was smart. After I cured cancer and ensured world peace, I would try to figure out how to attract younger people to the Corvette. Maybe I’d create a new TV show about a young and successful businessman who drove a Corvette. Maybe I would give every new Miss America the keys to a brand new Corvette. The trouble is, I’m not that smart and I don’t know how to lure younger generations to Corvettes and Corvette Clubs. Until somebody figures out something we can do to make us more attractive to younger people, I’ll keep trying to support things that interest us old people, like the upcoming Boone Rail Excursion, Bob Brown’s All Chevy Car Show, the Felsen Tribute Car Show and the CCI Fun Day. If you are itching for other excuses to drive your Corvette and hang out with other like-minded old people, check the NCCC West Region website at www.westregionnccc.com. Well, it’s time to go take my Ensure and plug in my heating pad. See you all at the September meeting at Dennis Albaugh’s on September 15th. Until then, Save the Wave. Gary Foster 4 Board Meeting Minutes, August 4, 2015 The August Board meeting was held at Smokey D’s BBQ with VP Judi Nikolish calling the meeting to order at 6:30PM. Secretary’s report: Dave Howard passed out the July Board minutes and reviewed agenda items which included approval of his minutes and Ken Wilson’s treasurer’s report, Judi’s update on social events, Denny Luther’s report on Ankeny and Fun Day scheduled for October 4th, Dave Larson’s review of meeting locations and reports from Editor, Webmaster, Competition, Membership and Fundraising. Gary had nothing to report. The Board minutes will be published in Sportsmate. Motion to approve by Ken, seconded by Denny and passed. Treasurer’s report: Ken reported on July treasury activity and said most of the income for the month was from sponsors and event registrations. Disbursements for several Newton expenses, including the balance of the Speedway rental cost and event t-shirts, resulted in a substantial reduction in the ending treasury balance. He added that we will see a small loss on the Newton event once the numbers are all in and this led to a discussion of how it will affect available funds. Ken’s full report will be posted in the Members Only section of the club website. Motion to approve by Dave L., seconded by Denny and passed. President’s report: Gary wasn’t present. VP’s report: Judi said the club’s next social event is our annual progressive dinner on August 29th and Cheryl Weidmann has gotten a commitment from Tim & Shannon Ford to replace Jim & Sandy Lucas as hosts for the first stop due to Sandy’s sudden illness. Judi has the train ride out of Boone scheduled for September 13th and she said we will gather at Smokey D’s BBQ at 11:30AM then depart for Boone. After the train ride, we’ll head to Hickory Park in Ames to have dinner. Governor’s report: Denny said the Saturday evening activity at Ankeny is up in the air. The Aviation Heritage Museum has offered a pork chop dinner as an alternative since the tour of Karl Performance does not include food this year. We decided to opt for the pork chop dinner and skip Karl’s because most people have done that several times and many have lost interest. Member at large: Dave L. reported that our August meeting is at Gregg Young Chevrolet in Norwalk and then we make our traditional trip to Albaugh’s in Ankeny for the September potluck meeting. We’ll try a new venue for the October meeting – Chicago Speakeasy. The September Board meeting will be held there as well. Editor: Dave H. had nothing to report. Webmaster: Wayne W. said that Newton tshirts will be ready for distribution at our Ankeny Airport event. Competition Director: Paul said that course set-up at Ankeny will be done on Friday evening with registration & tech also available. He also mentioned a desire to step away from his position and move on… he is willing to his replacement for a year however. Membership Director: Sheila asked about signing up guests as at large NCCC members at events for the sake of insurance. That is one solution and another is making sure guests know they don’t have NCCC insurance otherwise (this is stated in the flyer). Fundraising Director: Wayne N. had nothing to report. Old Business: none. New Business: Denny reminded everyone that nomination of officers must be done at the August meeting. We discussed the status of current club officers and all have time remaining before reaching term limits. All those present are willing to serve another year and most thought Gary would be as well. These findings will be presented at the upcoming club meeting. Motion to adjourn was made by Dave L., seconded by Ken and the meeting adjourned at 7:30PM. Respectfully, Dave Howard – Secretary 5 General Meeting Minutes, August 18, 2015 The August general meeting was held at Gregg Young Chevrolet in Norwalk, with President Gary Foster calling the meeting to order at 6:55PM. Gary asked if any guests or new members were in attendance and Christine Ruggle introduced her son, Blake. Gary then introduced Gary Burton, Managing Partner from Gregg Young, who welcomed us to the dealership and invited everyone to have a look around after our meeting. Secretary’s report: Dave Howard reviewed the July meeting minutes and thanked Larry Mark for standing in for him while he rode RAGBRAI. Brian Ney moved to approve the minutes as published in Sportsmate, seconded by Jim Lucas and passed. Treasurer’s report: Ken Wilson said that the club treasury took a hit in early July because of payment to Iowa Speedway for our June racing event there. He also reported that our Ankeny event held last weekend will easily be the best financially of our three speed event weekends. Mike Wallace made a motion to approve Ken’s report, seconded by Wayne Weidmann and passed. President’s report: Gary commented on the great response he received from participants at the Ankeny event and thanked Paul Wyman, Denny Luther and everyone else who contributed to a successful event. Vice President’s report: Judi Nikolish first went over details for the trip to Boone for an excursion train ride on September 13th. She then turned the floor over to Cheryl Weidmann who gave an update on the progressive dinner on August 29th. Cheryl asked for feedback on who will bring what type of dish to the dinner. Flyers for both socials are in Sportsmate. Governor’s report: Denny called out Dave Vance for his efforts as CCI’s liaison to the Ankeny Airport authorities and said this event would be difficult to pull off without Dave’s help. Denny mentioned that he is heading to Pennsylvania for the NCCC convention later in the week. He closed with a request for convertibles to transport the homecoming court in the ADM Homecoming parade on Friday, September, 18th. See Denny after the meeting. Member at Large: Dave Larson reminded the group that the September 15 th general meeting will be held at Albaugh’s in Ankeny and the October general meeting will be held at the Chicago Speakeasy on Euclid in Des Moines. The September Board meeting will also be held at Chicago Speakeasy. Dave reported $84 in the 50/50 pot. Mike DeZorzi and Wayne Weidmann split the winner’s share of $42. Editor: Dave H. said that the results of the NCCC Newsletter Contest will be announced at convention. Webmaster: Wayne W. said that he has around a dozen Newton t-shirts left to distribute after passing out most of them during our Ankeny event. Competition: Paul said that “Flying Low” at the Ankeny Airport was a huge success and thanked everyone who helped out as workers during the event. Paul is looking for help parking cars at the Felsen Tribute car show on September 27 th in Valley Junction. he also said all the details are worked out for the club’s “Fun Day” event on October 4th. Look for the flyer in September’s Sportsmate. He still needs volunteers to take charge of some of the events and several members raised their hands. Even after that there are still some holes to fill so see Paul after the meeting. Membership: Sheila had nothing to report. Fundraising: Wayne N. reported that all sponsor money for the club’s Iowa Speedway event has been received except for Sugar Shack’s commitment. Old Business: none. New Business: Ken gave the club a rundown of his experiences on the second of two recent trips to the Detroit area. This time the destination was the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise. In conjunction with the Dream Cruise there were a few tours that he was able to take in. An awesome outing! Jim Lucas thanked all who had offered support to him and Sandy as she recovers from her stroke. It has helped her immensely to maintain a positive outlook. Nominations for club officers were presented with all five incumbents putting their names forward for their respective positions. Gary then asked for nominations from the floor. Hearing none, he asked for a motion for nominations to cease. Brian Ney so moved, with Ken Wilson seconding and the motion passed. Buy and Sell: none. 6 A motion to adjourn was made by Ken and seconded by Dave L. and we adjourned at 7:40PM, at which time the crowd dispersed to browse through the dealership. Respectfully, Dave Howard – Secretary A Message from Your Governor… Three CCI members, Alan & Sharon Heggen and myself, attended the annual NCCC Convention the last week of August in Lake Harmony, PA. It was held at the Split Rock Resort within 5 miles of the Pocono Raceway in the Pocono Mountains – what a beautiful area of the country! There were over 350 attendees who I believe would all say they had a delightful week. CCI was recognized multiple times throughout the week with awards and accomplishments all listed below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Alan Heggen won first place in his class in both the low and high speed events. Denny Luther (me) won second place in his class in the low speed event. The CCI newsletter, Sportsmate, won third place nationally. Connor Luther (my grandson) was awarded an NCCC Scholarship. Sharon Heggen won first place at the CCI Miniature Golf tournament but her championship was protested. After a post tournament review, her score was supported by the rules and she was awarded the championship. Hopefully, you can sense from number 5 above that the CCI contingent had a great time competing and enjoyed the people and sites of the convention (even though I’m still dealing with losing my golf protest)! Don’t forget we have another event called Fun Day coming up on Sunday, October 4 th. Fun Day will be an all non-speed event including two People’s Choice car shows, two Poker Rallyes and an Economy Run. If you have never participated in an Economy Run, it is a rallye with the winner being determined by who used the least amount of fuel. Cars will be divided into classes by age and engine size so it will be an even playing field no matter what year your Corvette might be. Make sure when you arrive at Bennigan’s on Merle Hay Road on Sunday morning that your fuel tank can take on at least five gallons of fuel. The Economy Run will start from a gas station with a full tank of fuel and you will return to the station at the end of the run and have your tank filled to determine the amount of fuel used. Thanks to everyone who competed and/or worked our Ankeny weekend! The event was a tremendous success and received rave reviews by all who attended. It continues to be one of the favorite West Region events. Once again we had fantastic support from the Iowa Aviation Heritage Museum with their lunches and a great pork chop dinner on Saturday evening. As we have done in the past, we have donated $1,000 to the Museum. See you at the regular meeting on the 15th at Albaugh’s in Ankeny.

Flyers for upcoming club social events follow the “Odds and Ends” section of Sportsmate. “Flying Low” at the Ankeny Regional Airport. As always our speed event weekend at the Ankeny Airport on August 15th & 16th was a tremendous success! CCI saved the best for last with record attendance, outstanding worker support from racers and non-racers alike and red carpet treatment once again from the folks at the Iowa Aviation Heritage Museum. Hope everyone had a great time! 9 Progressive Dinner. CCI’s annual progressive dinner took place during the evening of Saturday, August 29th with great times and fantastic food at two thoroughly enjoyable locations. Many thanks go out to Tim & Shannon Ford and Christine & Jerry Ruggle for welcoming us into their beautiful homes! After our stop at the Fords, we assembled an impressive caravan of around a dozen Vettes for our trip to the Ruggles in Perry. What fun! 10 Boone Rail Excursion. At press time our trip to the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad for an excursion train ride is just days away on Sunday, September 13th. Because reservations were required 10 days ahead, the group is now set and Judi reports a total of 25 people will make the trip. After gathering at Smokey D’s BBQ, they will depart for Boone, tour the railroad museum and then ride the train. The group will round out the day with Dinner at Hickory Park in Ames. Look to the October Sportsmate for a wrap-up of this event. CCI Fun Day. Have you made plans yet for CCI’s Fun Day on Sunday, October 4th?
