Office of the President

THANK YOU! I want to be sure to thank everyone that helped make this

year so enjoyable. All those who chaired events – all those

who helped set up tracks or helped tear them down – and

put everything away. Those who made the events – social

or racing – run smoothly. This club is made up of a great

group of people who step up and make things happen.

As President of this club, I have the opportunity to appoint club members to several key positions and I

want to take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts.

Sargent of Arms – John Salmons

Web Master – Bill Cashell

Calendar - Ron Hughbanks

Timing Leader - Jon Brown

Registration - Kathy Gau

From the Governor’s desk…

Another month has slipped by and the frost is almost on the pumpkins. I took the dog

out this morning at 630 and it was 41 degrees. Won’t be long till winter is upon us.

But, we shall persevere, we still have a lot of activities planned for the remainder of the

year.

We have the fall color run 14 October (this may be over by the time this is published),

Autocross at Lincoln the 20th and 21st (please come out and support the West Region

Fundraiser and meet some members from other clubs), the Huber car show the 27th

and then in November we have the Bellevue Veterans Parade as well as Toys for Tots Christmas Dinner in

December. Come on out and enjoy the waning months of 2018. Oh, and for the Autocross on the 20th and 21st,

Kathy Gau assures me we will be in an Indian Summer by then. ☺

When I took this job a year ago, I was a little nervous and not quite sure what was expected of me. I had a good

teacher on all the basics with Jerry, but my first Governors meeting alone was a bit daunting. This year I have

learned how the sanctions work, scheduled events nationally and taken dozens of phone calls from folks looking

to come race with or join the Cornhusker Corvette Club. Make no mistake, we are nationally recognized and I am

proud to represent this club. If elected for another year, I hope we can make it as good as this one and even

better. Thank you for your support.

A couple of reminders for the next month or so –

1. Membership is open for 2019. Please renew your membership and if you have contact with past or

prospective members, encourage them to join as well.

2. Make sure we are checking the roster for addresses, phone numbers and email addresses at the general

meetings, this is the only way we have of contacting you.

3. Elections are coming up for Cornhusker Corvette Club officers. Please consider running for a position. Even if

you’ve never done it before, jump in and support the club.

I will once again be representing CCC at the National Governors Meeting on 9-10 November. If you have any

concerns or topics you would like me to bring up, please let me know.

Let’s finish another Championship year for the CCC off by participating in the competition and social events

planned for the next several weeks. It’s a lot of fun belonging to a club that has something to do almost every

weekend and something for everyone.

My Five Corvettes

Upon my return from Vietnam in late 1968 I needed a set of wheels. I went to the Chevy dealer outside of Camp Lejeune and bought a used 1957 Red Corvette for the low low price of $1,125. Immediately, I went four stores down to the Firestone tire place and bought a new set of snow tires for the car. I went back on-base packed my sea bag and left for Ohio driving through a blizzard in the Appalachian Mountains. In 1957 Corvettes had vacuum windshield wipers that slowed way down when the car was accelerated. When I let off the gas the wipers went about a hundred miles an hour. For those of us who drove the early Corvettes you'll remember that the defrost system was less than ideal. I had to scrape the windows every half hour inside the Corvette. I drove this Corvette until 1971 when I traded it for an Impala as we were enlarging our family.

My second Vette was a new Corvette called Corvette Orange in 1977 and it was a 4-speed. I drove this

car for 10 years putting only 2900 miles on it. My intention was to use it as a show car. It was never out

in the rain so I thought someday, this car will be a classic, but life had other plans. In 1986 I had to sell it

for a down payment on a house. It wasn't a bad investment though, I bought it for $8,500 and sold it for

$14,000.

In 2000 I had a very strong urge to get back to a sports car. I bought a new 2005 Mustang designed as

a throwback to the original early Mustangs. After driving it for years, I realized I was not happy. A 4

cylinder just didn't get it! In 2009 I sold the Mustang and bought a 2007 velocity yellow Corvette. With

this car The Cornhusker Corvette Club came into our lives. That year Steve Baxter and I were headed to

Crescent Iowa for a car show. On the way, going through Council Bluffs, we stopped to see Corvettes

being raced. At that moment I vowed I would never abuse my Corvette like that! While I own this yellow

Vette I decided that has a member of CCC I could participate in racing as a corner worker, a starter, and

generally assisting with the events. Carole was never very happy with this car. The passenger door

never wanted to open and let her in. About this time I started looking around. I researched every

Corvette I could find online in the USA. Finally, in 2015 we visited a Chevy showroom and there it was.

THE most awesome white and black Corvette we had ever seen. Carol turned to me and said “If you

don't get this one, I'm done.”

I continue to help out with racing but still did not participate and then, along came the preparation for the

2016 Corvette Convention in Omaha. The convention directors, Jean and Jerry, decided the idea of

"support our troops" would be the theme of the 2016 NCCC National Convention. They suggested

utilizing my Harley-Davidson POW-MIA themed bike for a part of the opening ceremonies, however, after

lengthy discussions, I purchased my 2002 Z-06, and had it wrapped in the theme of recognizing the

troops past, present and future. The car was on display at the Corvette Museum, the World of Wheels,

and used in multiple activities for the 2016 convention. I decided after the convention to keep the wrap

on the car and we started the Patriot Race Team. This, as we say, is history. and now this car and I are

known as The Cone killers.

Summer Tires

By Ron Hughbanks

Summer tires for Z06 (and similar Corvettes). After some discussions with people much more knowledgeable than I regarding the “care and feeding” of summer tires, I made a short summary of some of the key issues I thought you might find of interest:

1) Summer tires should not be used below 44 degrees “F”.

2) Most summer tires come brand new with only about seven and one half thirty seconds of an inch of tread.

3) Summer tires lose approximately 30% of their grip (traction) when the temperature reaches 50 degrees “F” (the colder the temperature gets, the more traction that is lost and the harder the rubber gets).

4) Summer tires lose about 30% of their grip when the tread depth gets to four thirty seconds of an inch or less (regardless of temperature).

5) Summer tires are typically replaced when they reach approximately three and one half to four thirty seconds of tread depth.

6) Summer tires should always be replaced when they reach two thirty seconds of an inch of tread depth.

7) Although manufactures such as Michelin have developed all weather low profile tires like those on our Corvettes, so far, no manufacture has developed an all weather tire for the larger rear tires of the Z06.

8) To date, Michelin has not issued a product number for all weather tires for the larger rear tire size; because of this, Tire Rack does not expect that such a size tire will be available this year.

9) Several manufactures (including Michelin) do make all weather tires for the small size tire on the front of our Corvettes, but obviously, you need the back tires as well before change to all weather tires.

10) The size of the back wheels on our Corvette (Z06, etc.) is large enough that going to a smaller tire for all weather on the rears is not an acceptable solution.

How to Store Your Car for Winter By Robby DeGraff

October 20, 2017

CARS.COM — From washing and waxing to detailing the interior, people baby their vehicles in all sorts

of ways. But it's equally important to take care of your car before you put it into storage. Here are a

few tips to make sure your car is ready to go when you are.

Related: Winter Is Coming; Is Your Car Ready?

The Final Detail

Thoroughly clean your car, inside and out, before storage. The last thing you want to do is put a car

cover on a dirty vehicle. Give your ride a good handwash, polish up that chrome and apply a coat of

wax to the paint. Make sure to get rid of any tree-sap drops, too.

If there are unpainted metal places under your car that are prone to rust, buy a can of rubberized

undercoating and spray on a protective coat, keeping in mind that it needs to be reapplied yearly. Be

careful not to spray this coating near any exhaust components that can get hot because products like

Page 11: Contents...50/50 Tickets - Nancy Bronner Birthdays - Jayne Reit Corner Worker Program - Gene Gau Vice President appointed - Points - J.B. Benedict Secretary appointed - Club Accessories

Page | 11 October 2018

this can be very flammable. For collectors, if you're worried about keeping your vehicle in original

condition, a coat of WD-40 will also work. You can also stuff a sock in the exhaust pipe so that small

animals, like rodents, won't find a new place to set up camp, but be sure to remove it before you start

the car again.

Throw out food wrappers, soda cans and any other trash that may have accumulated in the vehicle's

cabin. If you plan on steam-cleaning the carpet, do that far enough in advance of (or after) storing the

car to avoid moisture buildup and mold. For added interior protection, you can buy a set of seat

covers. To soak up cabin moisture, purchase a few packs of desiccant from your local dollar store or

convenience store to place on the floor of your vehicle.

Mice and other small animals can create trouble if they get inside your car. Even though there isn't a

surefire way to protect your car from mice, there are steps you can take to make your car less

appealing to them. "I usually go to the dollar store and buy the cheapest drier sheets I can find, and

put those inside my vehicles," said Davin Reckow, parts specialist for Hagerty Collector Car

Insurance. You can also place mothballs in socks and set them both inside and around the vehicle, but

you'll probably need to air out the cabin to get rid of that distinctive smell. Mousetraps work well

outside the car, but never put them in your car. The last thing you want to find is a dead mouse on

your passenger seat, especially months later. If you are storing your car in your own garage at home,

remember that pest poison traps can be hazardous to your pets.

Tires

It's worthwhile to inflate your tires

to a higher air pressure before

storing your car because tires can

slowly lose pressure over time and

with temperature changes.

However, don't exceed the tire's

maximum air pressure, which is

listed on the side of the tire, and

be sure to fill all four tires to the

correct air pressure when you take

your car out of storage. If you

already know one of your tires has

Page 12: Contents...50/50 Tickets - Nancy Bronner Birthdays - Jayne Reit Corner Worker Program - Gene Gau Vice President appointed - Points - J.B. Benedict Secretary appointed - Club Accessories

Page | 12 October 2018

a leak, replace it because it will deflate completely over time, and your car could end up kneeling on

its rim.

Don't engage the parking brake for storage as it can become "frozen" and difficult to disengage. If

you're worried about your car rolling, get some wheel chocks or blocks of wood to wedge against the

tires.

For the more mechanically inclined and for owners of collectible cars, you can put your car on jack

stands to take the weight off the tires and suspension. By doing this, you can avoid getting flat areas

on your older tires and wheels. Procedures for doing this vary greatly from car to car, so if you're

unfamiliar with the proper and safe way to raise your car, consult with someone who knows. In all

instances, be sure the floor of your storage site is completely flat and made of concrete before

undertaking this.

Fluids and Power

It's a good idea to use fuel stabilizer. Why? Reckow said most ethanol-blended fuels have a shelf life of

only about three months. If you're storing a vehicle for six months, fuel stabilizer should help prevent

corrosion in the fuel lines and engine. Add fuel stabilizer to a nearly full gas tank.

Page 13: Contents...50/50 Tickets - Nancy Bronner Birthdays - Jayne Reit Corner Worker Program - Gene Gau Vice President appointed - Points - J.B. Benedict Secretary appointed - Club Accessories

Page | 13 October 2018

It's also a good idea to change your car's oil and oil filter as well as check and top up all other fluid

levels before storing your car. If you live in a colder climate, make sure your car has enough antifreeze.

Once you've topped off the fluids and added fuel stabilizer, take your vehicle out for one last ride to

circulate the new fluids before your car storage plans.

Your car battery should be either removed and stored, or connected to a trickle charger or battery

tender; you can get one for around $50. Make sure your battery tender or charger has a float mode or

automatic shutoff feature so the battery doesn't get overcharged. You can run the battery tender's

cables up through the underside of the engine bay so that you can keep the hood closed and your car

cover in place.

If you want to remove the battery but still have it on a battery tender, set it on a piece of wood in your

garage and attach it to the tender. Make sure not to lose track of the two battery bolts. Keeping your

car's battery charged prolongs the life of the battery, and you don't have to wonder whether your car

will start.

You can also remove the battery and store it in a warm room in your home. Keep in mind that cold

batteries can freeze and may crack.

Car Cover

Invest in a quality car cover for storage. If you store your car outside, make sure that cover is

waterproof and securely attached to your car so high winds don't blow it off. Universal and custom-fit

car covers are available at online retailers and at auto parts stores. There is a big difference between a

$25 universal-fit car cover and a $300 high-quality model-specific cover; your best bet is to get one

that's breathable and keeps out moisture. Never cover your car with a plastic tarp as it will severely

scratch the paint.

A basic car cover is worthwhile if you store your car inside because it can protect your car's freshly

waxed exterior from accumulating dust and dirt. In addition, Reckow said, a thicker car cover provides

a layer of protective padding for your car's exterior in case you bump it while you move items around

in your garage.

It's easier to have another set of hands available when putting a cover on your car; it also eliminates

the risk of having the cover touch the ground and picking up grit. However, before you put the cover

on, make sure all the windows and doors are fully closed and that valuables and necessities are out of

the passenger compartment — you don't want to open a covered, storage-ready car just to get your

Page 14: Contents...50/50 Tickets - Nancy Bronner Birthdays - Jayne Reit Corner Worker Program - Gene Gau Vice President appointed - Points - J.B. Benedict Secretary appointed - Club Accessories

Page | 14 October 2018

cell phone's car charger. If you have a fixed antenna, you'll also want to remove it before covering up.

You can put the antenna in your trunk or on the floor by the passenger seat so it's readily available for

reinstallation.

In addition to a car cover, consider a vehicle jacket for storage. Just drive your car onto the jacket, put

a soft car cover on it (this is a must), and zip up the outer plastic jacket. This solution provides

protection from moisture, rust, rodents and dust. "I once stored a '66 Chevelle convertible, stripped of

paint, right on a lakefront in Michigan,” Reckow said. "After one winter, there was not a lick of surface

rust.” Make sure your car is completely dry and cool before putting any kind of cover on it.

Starting It Up

A common discussion among people who store cars for winter is whether or not to start it every so

often. "If you do a proper job storing a car, you don't need to start it," Reckow said. "But if you want to

start it up, just remember what you have to remove and put back on." In other words, don't start your

car with those socks still stuffed in the exhaust or the battery tender's cables in the engine bay.

Completely remove the car cover, too; don't just peel it back enough to get in the driver's door. Never

let a car run with its car cover on — or with the garage door closed.

Once your car is started, let it warm up to its operating temperature to remove any condensation and

cycle the fresh oil through the engine to lubricate the parts a bit. Then, don't forget to redo the steps

needed to return your car to its storage state.
