On the Cover - John Henderson & Genie Holt’s 1998 Torch Red Coupe
by John HendersonGenie and I met in August of 2002 and have been together ever since. Genie recently retired from Boeing after 37 years as an electrical design engineer and I retired from Bechtel Hanford in 2005 after 20 years in nuclear materials engineering. I'm a transplanted New Yorker via Oklahoma, West Virginia, Ohio, Virginia and now Washington. Genie, however, has a much more interesting origin. She was born of Dutch heritage in the Dutch East Indies
(now called Indonesia), moved to Holland at age 5, and moved to Medford, Oregon with her family in 1958. She speaks fluent Dutch and has 4 sisters living in Oregon and California.As I neared retirement, I knew that my one chance to own a Corvette was either now or never, so I began canvassing the local dealers and also searched online. I finally found my 1998 torch red coupe online at Corvette Country in Austin, Texas. After many e-mail and phone conversations with the salesman, together with numerous photos of nearly every square inch of the car sent to me, I decided to buy it... basically sight unseen in person. I had it shipped from Texas to Washington in a closed tractor trailer and it arrived in early December of 2003.
I still remember arriving in the shopping center parking lot in Richland, WA where the tractor-trailer driver was waiting for me. (I lived in Richland until moving to Bellevue in 2005.) The driver walked me to the rear of the trailer and said, “Are you ready for this?” When he opened the doors, there
was this gorgeous car, in pristine condition. I must admit I had been a bit
nervous about not having gone to Texas to personally see the car, and so I was more than a little relieved to see what great condition it was in. I should also tell you that there were several classic cars in the trailer being delivered around the country so my new baby was in good company.Genie and I joined CMCS in September of 2005 and have enjoyed the many functions and drives we have participated in and the many new friends we have made in the club. Our Vette occasionally needs extra TLC as it is beginning to show its age, with nearly 70,000 miles on it. I replaced the acrylic top last year after the sun screen tint began coming off due to wind abrasion. I also had the sun screen tint on the back window removed since it was beginning to bubble. The original owner had it applied in Texas. I recommend Mr. Tint and Sun on Bel-Red Road in Bellevue if anyone needs to have tint removed or applied. They did a great job and the defroster still works! The exhaust is also new - BORLA Stingers. Everything else in the car is original, except for the usual stuff, i.e. tires, which are currently Firestone Firehawk runflats, brakes and battery. We look forward to many more fun times with our CMCS friends and are already looking forward to both the wineries tour and the Cascade Loop Tour in September.

August 26 - XXX All Corvette Show & Burger Bash
August is officially here and our Northwest official short summer is in full swing. Are you enjoying the weather and your car, or is it still under the car cover in the garage? Well there is no excuse for it to stay under the cover this month, as our calendar is full of activities. Literally, there is something happening every weekend. On August 4th you have the Magnolia parade in the morning, and in the evening you can choose between the Lake City parade or Frogstock at the Everett Aquasox game. On August 11th, we have our monthly club meeting. The weekend of the 18th brings us the latest rendition of Women Only Weekend (WOW), and finally on the 26th we have the third annual XXX all Corvette show and shine. Complete details of all of these activities are elsewhere in this issue. These are just the CMCS sponsored activities. If these activities aren’t to your liking, there are other club activities published in the newsletter and in the on-line event schedule. If you are new to the club and do not understand what some of these activities are about, contact me, or any of the other board members. Our phone numbers and e-mail addresses are listed in the front of the newsletter. Many volunteers in the club work hard to organize these activities and they all do it to provide something fun for you, and the Corvette fraternity, to do.Speaking of volunteers we recently had our second planning meeting for Seattle in September 2008. This is our biennial weekend event during which we host our members and other Corvette owners from all over the Northwest. Yes, there is some work involved, but joining the planning committee is a great way to get involved with the club and to get to know some of your fellow club members. So contact Michael or Jane Armstrong and get involved. We would welcome your ideas.Last month I reported that after months of not having a date, we were presented with a last minute change and given a date for School Daze, our driving event. Well, as you have probably seen in the e-mail message, we had to cancel School Daze for 2007. Due to the late start on promotion, we did not get the number of attendees necessary to make the event financially feasible. Hopefully, Pacific Raceways will work with us to firm up a date for 2008, allowing us to do a proper job of promotion.Remember, you don’t want to have regrets come October and the rain, that you didn’t do enough this summer. August is your opportunity.See you on the road.

Seattle in September 2008 (SIS V)By Michael & Jane Armstrong
Calling all Crew! SIS 2008 is picking up steam…. On July 16th, we held our 2nd meeting.We decided to adopt a nautical/naval theme. A contest to design the logo is described ion the next page. We have a hotel selected and soon we
will have our contract and rates finalized. You will love what we have found. We are planning to hold a publicly visible (and publicly attended) Show & Shine. Our hotel venue is perfect for the valve cover races, a welcoming reception, and the Sunday banquet with raffles, trophies and awards.We will finalize the cruise particulars at the next meeting. Do we go on Lake Washington or Elliot Bay? Should we do a sit-down dinner or buffet/reception? Then it is on to entertainment, caterers, etc.We need more ideas and a bunch more people to come to help pull together the details. Workers, idea folks, promoters, high and low energy types; ALL are welcome. You know, the kind of people we have in our club. So if you fit any of these descriptions, join us. This month’s meeting lasted just one hour.Our next meeting is 7 pm., August 20th, Round Table Pizza, Overlake/Redmond. Come early for pizza or salad.Questions? Or if you can’t make the meetings, but you want to help with a part of the event, please contact us.
How would you like a free hotel night at Seattle in September V?September 14-16, 2008Aye, aye, matey, that is correct.
All you have to do is win theContest for the SIS 2008 logo design.
The logo will be used on event apparel, printed materials, and who knows what else (perhaps caps, prizes, banners). The SIS committee will choose the winning design concept at its October meeting.Our theme is nautical. As many of you know, the Corvette name originated with a class of naval ships (similar to frigates) and goes back to the 1600’s with sloops. Well, since the 2008 event will include a cruise, we thought the nautical/naval theme would be perfect. Get creative. Keep in mind that the design must be reproducible and cost effective too. Keep it simple.The committee and its experienced logo advisors, that include Oran and our apparel manufacturer, reserve the right to tweak the chosen design to show it and the club in the best light.The absolute-latest deadline is the October CMCS club meeting. But you can mail your design to the club mailbox anytime. Enter as many times as you wish. The postmark date will be used as a last resort to decide between ties. So launch your idea soon. Just mark the envelope:SIS 2008 Logo Contest (or words to that effect). That’s all. Get your design shipshape and win that berth!

SOVREN Vintage Races - Event Reportby Kevin Jewell
Many members of the club participated in the car corral and enjoyed the vintage races on June 30. The vintage races are organized by SOVREN (Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts) and all net proceeds benefit Children’s Hospital. This year the races netted $728,000 for Children’s. Spectacular day, great races, and a charity benefit to boot. Consider attending next year.

14th Annual “Take Me Out To The Ball Game”with the Everett Aquasox - Saturday August 4th
by Ben BenninghoffThis year “Marques” our club's 14th anniversary outing with the Everett Aquasox baseball team. This outing has been a club favorite over the years giving us another opportunity to show off our Corvettes inside the ballpark while getting ‘free’ reserved seating along the first base side. This year we’re again going to organize a food drive for the local food bank in Everett while conducting a car show for the fans; kind of a mini ‘show-n-shine’ where the people attending the game will cast their vote for their favorite car. And how are they going to do that? Glad you asked. Instead of ballots being passed out, the fans will place their non perishable food items in storage bins placed in front of each car. The winner will be the car receiving the most items and/or cash donations where a can will be placed as well so those wishing to make a cash/check donation to the food bank can do so. Somewhere around the 7th or 8th inning an announcement will be made and the trophy awarded to the winner. Talk about a win-win situation, it doesn’t get any better than this. So now you have an extra incentive to join in on the fun this year and help others out in the process.You can begin to arrive at the ballpark after 3 pm but before 5 pm due to traffic, both foot and vehicle traffic at the ballpark. Once parked inside the south fence, break out your picnic baskets on the lawn and eat to your heart’s content. All food items must be packed up and put away prior to the gates opening at 6 pm. After that you are welcome to sit in the reserved bleachers along the first base side, mingle with other club members alongside the Corvettes, or go for a bread-bowl filled with hot steamy Ivar's clam chowder, hot dogs, pretzels, pizza, and ice-cold beer or other beverages of your choice.
The Aquasox are celebrating their annual salute to the '60's with their “FrogStock” night, so bring your tie dye t-shirts and tight jeans and join in on the spirit. Those sporting the best period clothes from the 60s just might win something memorable. Bring something warm to wear, it does get cool after the sun goes down, and a seat cushion for your you know what. After all, those are real wooden bench seats with real wooden splinters, and I don't care how good a friend you are, you'll be taking them home with ya! And bring some
food item donations with you.For more information:

Riding the Rogue (SOCA) - Event Reportby Ken & Jean Fiorentino
Jean & I went to this event, sponsored by the Southern Oregon Corvette Association, held July 13/15, 2007 in Grants Pass Oregon. We met our friends from Diablo Valley Corvettes of Northern California. There were 218 cars registered. The theme was Riding the Rogue. The weather humid and the temperature hovered at about 95 degrees. We placed 2nd in class in the Show & Shine (2005-2007 Stock), held at the hotel lodge on the river bank. A great place to spend the weekend with good Corvette people. We enjoyed the entire event. They had a Poker Run, a River Boat Run and other fun driving events. There was no autocross. The food was good, the location was great. We recommend you try this event in 2009 at this same location. SOCA alternates this event with another Oregon club every other year. In 2008 it will be in Bend. Jean & I would like to be CMCS Coordinators for this event.

Mill Creek Show - Event Report & Winnersby Lorrie Montgomery

Everything from organization, to promotion, to obtaining sponsors, to gathering raffle prizes was all handled by Jay and Jan. Of course we can't forget the CMCS members who gave of their time and energy both in the planning and the day of the event and Corporate Sponsors Kompact Kar Korner, North Bend Chevrolet, William McElroy Investments, Quiznos Subs, Lee Johnson Chevrolet and People's Bank.

LeMay Car ShowAugust 25, 2007
Thirty years ago, Harold and Nancy LeMay opened their estate and car collection to the various car clubs and friends for an informal picnic and display. Nancy continued the tradition after Harold’s death and today thousands of people visit the two sites in Tacoma (buses provided to take you between sites) on the open house. Many car clubs will also display their cars, so there are literally a thousand cars to see. The $10 entry donation ($20 for a family of four) will help to build the permanent LeMay collection museum planned near the Tacoma Dome. If you have never been to the LeMay show, this is a must see. Hours are 9 am to 5 pm and the wise go early. For more information, go to www.lemaymuseum.org.
