Corvette Racing"When you look at sports car racing over the last 10 years, the biggest name inGT racing has to be Corvette," Milner said. "With all of the team's victories in LeMans and the success they've had here in America, Corvette Racing has a his-tory of winning. To have the opportunity to be a part of the Corvette program atthis point in my career is very exciting. I'm looking forward to working with theengineers, the crew, and the other drivers to make Corvette the powerhouse inendurance racing." - Tommy Milner

"I've raced against the Corvette enough times to know it's better to be drivingone than racing against one," Westbrook said. "I'm absolutely delighted to bejoining the Corvette Racing program for 2011. The Corvette C6.R is an amazingpiece of machinery, very well engineered, and it's just an honor to drive one.Everyone on the team is hungry for success and expectations are high, so wehave to deliver." - Richard Westbrook

Some Modification Suggestionsfor the Upcoming Show Season

The Clear ButtonPeople are getting really desperate due to the rising cost of gasoline.

Some people using their credit/debit cards at the automated pumps have beennoticing additional charges to their accounts. Their receipts have been correctbut the additional charges have been showing up on their card’s statement.

Upon investigation they found out that because they didn’t press the CLEAR but-ton on the pump, after their gasoline purchase, the employee inside the store wasable to buy gas for themselves using their credit/debit account number.

To keep this from happening to you, after you get your receipt you must press theCLEAR button or your information will be stored until the next customer insertstheir card. It’s probably safe to press the CLEAR button before and after thetransaction.

The CLEAR button is located under the number “7” button on the pumps keypad.

Time for Spring CleaningHow concerned are you about your Corvette's looks? Is a trip to the drive-through car wash every fewmonths good enough? Or do you obsess over things such as tiny swirl marks in your paint, or gettingjust the right amount of gloss on your trim? If you fall into the latter group, then you've come to the rightplace. We're going to show you some professional-level cleaning and detailing tips that will make yourVette gleam. Better still, these techniques can be performed in your driveway with just a few simpletools and a handful of car-care products.

The first step in properly caring for painted automotive surfaces is to make sure they're clean. But didyou know there's a difference between washing and cleaning your car? According to Mike Pennington,who heads training and consumer relations for the a national car-care specialist, washing, that job donewith a hose, buckets, and soap-removes dirt and other loose contaminants from on top of the paint.Cleaning, on the other hand, addresses contaminants that are bonded to the paint-such as tree sap,hard-water deposits, or other environmental fallout-as well as swirls, scratches, oxidation, and stains.

Pennington offered these tips for getting the best result from yourwash: Always wash your car in the shade when the fiberglass iscool to the touch. Hose off the car first to loosen the dirt, then usea high-quality wash mitt to apply soapy water. A premium mitt-whether it's cotton, synthetic, or microfiber-has plenty of nap thatwill protect the paint from being scratched by dirt the mitt picksup. And always use a soap that's designed for automotive paint;household soaps and detergents are too harsh for your car's fin-ish.

Mike recommends washing your car using the two-bucketmethod. Fill one bucket with water and soap, the other with plainwater. After soaking the mitt in the soapy water and wiping thecar, rinse it in the plain-water bucket. That way, dirt picked up bythe mitt is left in the rinse bucket and won't contaminate the soapbucket, reducing the risk of that very same dirt being wiped backon the car.

When it's time to rinse, hose off the car using high-pressure wa-ter, then do a final rinse with a low-pressure stream. You'll beamazed at how the water sheets off the car and how muchquicker and easier it is to dry.

As with the wash mitt, use a high-quality towel to dry the car, preferably a microfiber drying towel. To-day's microfiber technology has advanced to the point where these towels are far more absorbent thanyesterday's cotton or terry cloth, which speeds up the drying process considerably.

Once your car is clean and dry, it's time to evaluate the paint to determine your next step. Move the carinside to a bright, well-lit area and check the paint for trouble spots. During the evaluation process,"you're looking for above-the-surface contaminants like overspray or tree sap, and below-the-surfaceproblems like swirls, scratches, etching, and oxidation," Pennington says. Look closely at the paint, andalso run your hand over the car to feel how smooth it is. A rough feel is a telltale sign that there arebonded contaminants on the finish that need to be taken off.

These contaminants can be removed using a clay bar. Pennington offers these claying tips: Always lu-

bricate the surface prior to rubbing it with the clay. This will make the bar glide across the surface andprevent scratches. It's also a good idea to tear the bar into small pieces before using it. That way,should you drop the piece, you can throw it away without wasting the entire bar. Knead the bar every sooften to keep its surface fresh. If the bar gets dark, or you can see particles in the clay, it's time to use anew piece.

Below-the-surface contaminants require a different approach, one that will actually take a little paint offthe car in order to get down to the affected area. Conventional rubbing and polishing compounds aretypically too abrasive for today's finishes and may actually "inflict more damage than they fix," accordingto Pennington. Instead, use a mild swirl remover or clear-coat-safe paint cleaner to treat those areas.

These products usually can be applied by hand or by using an orbital, dual action (DA), or rotary pol-isher. Hand application is safest, since there's little to no risk of damaging the paint by rubbing throughtoo many layers. This method is the most time consuming, however, and requires more physical effort.

A machine applicator will do the job quicker, though an inexperienced operator could burn through thepaint if he or she doesn't know how to properly operate the machine. (This is especially true when usinga high-speed rotary unit.) The secret to using a machine applicator, says Pennington, is to work a fairlysmall section of the body-about a 2-foot-square area-with overlapping strokes. Then methodically workyour way around the car.

When working by hand, or using an orbital or dual-action polisher, how many applications should youplan to use? "Do it until you're happy," Pennington says. "You may need more than one. But if you'renot getting the results you want after two or three applications, you may need the help of a profes-sional."

Once the painted surfaces are free of defects, you can choose to polish the paint or move on to a pro-tectant step. Polish will add gloss to the paint, especially when used on dark colors. "We recommend itfor dark paint if you want that deep, wet look," Pennington says. "It won't give you the same benefitwhen applied to white or light-colored paint." Like swirl removers, most polishes can be applied by handor with a machine applicator.

The final step is to protect the paint by putting a barrier of wax between it and the damaging effects ofMother Nature. These days, waxes tend to fall into two general types: carnauba, the traditional, naturalwax that comes from palm trees; and polymer, a synthetic wax that's formulated to tighter tolerancesthan natural wax but also tends to be a little more expensive. "Either type works on paint of any age,"Pennington says, though he feels the high-tech nature of a modern polymer wax will provide a betterlevel of protection.

Pennington won't go so far as to say that a polymer wax will last longer than carnauba. In fact, he warnsagainst using products that make claims of extended longevity. "There are too many variables to estab-lish that type of time frame, from how often you wash your car and what you use to wash it, to whereyou park, and so on." Instead, he recommends establishing a regular waxing schedule "so you knowyou're on top of it." A daily driver could be waxed as few as three or four times a year, he says, while ahobby car should be waxed every two to three months to keep up its looks.

With either type of wax, it's best to apply in thin coats, and then give it time to set up and cure. Other-wise, you won't be getting the wax's full protective benefits. Apply wax to the entire car; then, before youwipe it off, test an area by wiping it with your finger. If it smears, it hasn't fully cured yet.

Once you've finished these steps, it's time to step back and admire how great your paint looks. Thenget ready to keep it that way. "Frequent car care is easy car care," Pennington says. Between washes,if your car isn't too dirty, you can maintain its good looks with a wipe-down from an instant-detailer prod-uct, which lubricates the surface while encapsulating small dirt particles. If there's any concern that thesurface is too dirty to wipe with the detailer, it's time to get out the buckets and soap again.

CNBC Names Corvette ZR1 as One of the Future's Most Collectible CarsIn a recent photo slideshow, CNBC interviewed Hagerty Insurance CEO McKeel Hagerty asking him to predictwhich new cars will be the future’s most collectible. His list names the Corvette ZR1 as #9. Others on the list in-clude: #1 McLaren F1, #2 Ferrari F40, #3 Ferrari Enzo, #4 Bugatti Veyron, #5 Lamborghini Reventon, #6 PorscheCarrera GT, #7 Ford GT, #8 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and #10 Dodge Viper.In adding the Corvette ZR1 to this list, Hagerty said: “This is the Corvette that elevated the model into a new classof world class sports cars. Nowhere has this news been more prominently displayed than on the recent ZR1, themost powerful Corvette to date. And unlike the big block screamers of the 1960s, like the L88, the ZR1 is totallytrackable and downright docile.”

HumorEver since I was a kid, I've always had this fear of someone being under my bed at night.

So I went to a psychiatrist and told him . . . “Doc, I've got a problem. Every time I go to bed Ithink there's someone under it. I'm scared and I think I may be going crazy.”

“Just put yourself in my care for one year,” said the shrink. “Come and talk to me three timesa week and we should be able to get rid of your fears.”

“How much do you charge?”

“Eighty dollars per visit,” replied the Doctor.

“I'll think about it,” I said.

Six months later the psychiatrist meets me on the street.“Why didn't you ever come to see me about those fears you werehaving?” he asked.

“Well, eighty dollars a visit, three times a week for a year, is an awful lotof money! I told my bartender about my problem and he cured me in10 seconds for free.”

“Is that so!” the doctor said, with a bit of an attitude, “and how, may I ask, was your bartenderable to cure you in 10 seconds for free?”

“He told me to cut the legs off the bed! Ain't nobody under there now!”
