Allentown Area Corvette Club, Inc. ‘Vetter’s Letter September 2013 President Jeff Mohring 610-392-6898 [email protected] Vice-President Laura Hegyi 610-730-2695 From the Volume 20, Issue 9 val Office This is my last letter as President. I want to thank all of the officers for their help and guidance. Our membership, meeting and event attendance have all increased, some to record levels. A big thank you to all the following: Secretary Carol Jenkins 610-317-9277 Treasurer Janet Mohring 610-965-8593 NCCC Governor Joel Dean 610-533-2259 Membership Marty & Laura Hegyi 610-730-2695 [email protected] Events John Kostick, Jr. 610-432-7172 NCM Ambassador Rich Ringhoffer 610-867-6494 Barb Parsons (Vice President) for all she has done with the attendance and coordinating letters, cards, and gift baskets. Carol Jenkins (Secretary) for doing her usual excellent job with the minutes. Janet Mohring (financial wizard) for keeping us solvent. Thanks also to Pete Lileck, for keeping us informed and in compliance with NCCC. Of course, I cannot forget the Board of Directors, led by John Kostick Jr., for making decisions that kept us on the straight and narrow. Our newsletter editors, Kevin & Michelle Minnich, had their hands full with some last minute President’s letters. (We still have the best Corvette newsletter, bar none.) The two Richards, DeLeon, and Ringhoffer, did a great job being our Ambassadors to the NCM. Membership, what can I say about Marty and Laura Hegyi — our membership has climbed to almost 180 members, with 70+ now attending meetings. Michelle Minnich, our fashion expert, keeps us well dressed and looking smart. Bud Benton (Webmaster), our computer Wiz, keeps the world informed about us via the clubs' website. I am sure our new incoming officers will continue to keep AACC moving forward.

After the plant tour, the Corvette America showroom is just up the street. There you can purchase a variety of parts, accessories and clothing for C1 through C6 Corvettes. (They may even have a few C7 items already.) The plant is about a 2½-hour drive from Allentown, so the 11 am tour would be the most feasible for us. Each tour will last 45-60 minutes, with a maximum of 40 guests per tour. As Corvette America's manufacturing facility is a working plant, all guests must wear closed-toe, low-heeled shoes. Safety eyewear will be provided. Tour group participants must be able to walk and stand for up to one hour. Details for a meeting point and departure time will be announced at the club meetings on Sept. 11 and 25. 29 Lisa Denning Brent Peters 30 Sandy Greenzweig Proudly Sponsored by 298 Stoke Park Road Bethlehem, PA 18017 877-260-1080 faulknermotors.com 2013 Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013 NCCC-Sanction PNC Plaza at SteelStacks 101 Founders Way @ 3rd St., Bethlehem, PA Rain or Shine Registration: 9:30-11:30am Show Time: 11:30am-2pm Awards: Approximately 3pm ER-118-001 Pre-Registration $15 Pre-Registration due by Sept. 16 From Sept. 17 through Day-Of: $20 Participant Choice Show Gen1 (‘53-’62) Gen2 (‘63-’67) Gen3 (‘68-’82) Gen4 (‘84-’96) Gen5 (‘97-’04) Gen6 (‘05-’13) Gen7 (’14) & Modified (All) Please bring your donation of non-perishable food items to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast PA. *AACC member cars are in separate Participant Voting classes AACC (‘53-’67) AACC (‘68-’82) AACC (‘84-’96) AACC (‘97-’04) AACC (‘05-’14) 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies in Participant Choice Max. 2 trophies per entrant 1969 2009 Proceeds benefit Lehigh Valley Military Affairs Council The Allentown Area Corvette Club is proudly sponsored by Faulkner Chevrolet-Cadillac 298 Stoke Park Road • Bethlehem, PA 18017 SteelStacks includes ArtsQuest Center — featuring activities throughout the day...

The railroad will designate a (free) special parking area for the Corvettes where “Quick Shade” tents can be erected. There are several dining options on-site: a refreshment stand serving burgers & hot dogs, A General Country Store (at the far end of the train ride), Kempton Hotel (easy 1-1/2 block walk from the station), or the traditional BYO. There are ample picnic tables available. The ride begins at 42 Community Center Drive, Kempton, PA. Ernie Perna will advise of a meeting location and time for AACC participants. Shady Maple Smorgasbord (Lunch) Sat., Oct. 26 — Our tradition continues for driving and food with another visit to the Shady Maple Smorgasbord. The group will depart the north-side parking lot at Cracker Barrel (Fogelsville, PA) at 10:30am. East Earl, PA is our destination — about an hour’s drive from the Lehigh Valley. Arrive hungry because their smorgasbord features 46 salad bar items, 3 soups, 8 homemade breads, 4 cheeses, 8 meats, 14 vegetables, 10 cold desserts, 3 hot desserts, 8 pies, 6 cakes, an ice cream sundae bar and many beverages.

Attractions include Shady Maple Farmer’s Market, Reading Outlets, opening weekend of Oktoberfest at Stoudt’s Brewery (Adamstown, PA), and Renninger’s Antiques (Kutztown, PA). Corvettes are always welcome, but this will be a rain-or-shine event. Sign up at a club meeting or by contacting Laura Hegyi at 610-730-2697 or [email protected].

Page 9 AllentownCorvetteClub.org ‘Vetter’s Letter | Vol. 20, Iss. 9 | September 2013 Lehigh Valley Wine Art Music Festival Kevin Minnich (‘00) Sat., Aug 3 — The inaugural event hosted by Upstate Wine Festivals was held at the Schnecksville Fairgrounds. 12 AACC Corvettes were on display, with custom show boards detailing the performance of each. The Mauch Chuck Motorheads also displayed their vehicles in various states of restoration. Attendance was light so it was easy to maneuver the grounds and sample the wines and mead from eight PA wineries, cheeses from local organic farms, and stroll through the crafters showing their handiwork. A jazz trio played on the main stage throughout the day. Participating display cars were offered a choice bottle of wine by host, Antler Ridge Winery. We anticipate an even bigger event in 2014. Sharon Carney & Linda Shanaberger Photos by Kevin Minnich Stoudt’s Corvette Show Len Feinberg (‘13) Sun., Aug 4 — A small group left the Easton Park & Ride and headed to Stoudt’s Corvette Show in Reading, where they were met by the AACC Breakfast Club led by John Kostick. There was a record turnout of over 140 Corvettes covering all generations packed into the small lot and adjacent field. Small dash cards and a commemorative dash plaque were presented upon entry. There was no official judging or voting and Stoudt’s randomly drew car numbers for cash prizes, ranging from $25 to $100. A pretty nice deal for a free show...

It was a great show with a record turnout of 251 vehicles including motorcycles, pickups, a few Corvettes, a Bradley GT, and a very interesting $90,000 COPO Camaro. The park setting had everyone parked on the grass with plenty of shaded areas. There was a Chinese auction, door prizes, 50/50, a car display by Chevy 21, and plenty to eat. The Center for Animal Health and Welfare also had some of their 4-legged residents who were available for adoption. The Center brought some items for sale and was collecting food donations. One man even brought in a dolly with four large bags of dog and cat food, which totaled over 100 pounds. There were awards presented for the top 25 participant choices. In addition there were three special awards: Best Paint, Best Engine and the President’s Award. Marty Hegyi (‘69 Vette) was among the Top 25 winners. Dave Parsons won the handmade quilt made with past Vettes for Pets T-shirts. Photos by Len Feinberg Page 11 AllentownCorvetteClub.org ‘Vetter’s Letter | Vol. 20, Iss. 9 | September 2013 Bob Gredlics: a Celebration of Life Kevin Minnich (‘00) Sat., Aug. 17 — On June 14th, AACC founding member, Bob Gredlics passed away from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare, fast-moving and untreatable brain disease. His daughters, Melissa McCaverty and Michelle Kovacs, arranged for a Celebration of Life ceremony at a fitting venue, the Macungie Memorial Park, in the afternoon preceding a monthly cruise night. Over 30 Corvettes met a short distance north of the park with the intention of arriving in force to honor Bob. Logistics soon became an issue at the meeting place, and we made a last-minute call to the Macungie Police department for traffic control. They happily obliged and sent an officer within minutes, who first stopped traffic on the busy PA-100 so we could all pull out, then raced ahead of the pack to stop traffic once again so we could enter the Park. Bob’s beloved ‘59 and ‘63 were already parked by the pavilion when our Corvettes arrived. O’Connell Funeral Home (Bethlehem, PA) coordinated the event which included a presentation by a Life Celebrant and offered the opportunity for attendees to say a few words as well. The most poignient words came from Bob’s daughters and closest friends, including fellow-AACC clubber, Bob Wetherhold. It was a very nice service and even featured photo boards, food and drinks for all to enjoy. Melissa McCaverty & Michelle Kovacs Photos by Kevin Minnich Bob Wetherhold Page 12 Allentown Area Corvette Club ‘Vetter’s Letter | Vol. 20, Iss. 9 | September 2013 AACC Family Picnic Len Feinberg (‘13) Sun., Aug. 18 — The weather was nice (for the most part) for the large group of 80 AACC members, spouses, grandchildren, and a few special guests. The shaded pavilion atop the hill at Bicentennial Park (East Allen Twsp.) was the location for this meeting of food, games, and fellowship. There was plenty to eat and drink from appetizers that included deviled eggs, shrimp, various chips, veggies and pretzels (with dips), at least three different salads, and much more. The main course was catered by Dickey’s BBQ and featured pulled pork, beef brisket, shredded chicken, baked potato casserole, BBQ beans, green beans, and honey rolls. Since the day was also Janet Mohring’s birthday, Jeff surprised her with a special cake complete with candles and group singing. And there was still a little more to eat — cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and fruit salads. If you went home hungry, it was your own fault! Members played various yard and table games when not eating. Thanks to the Mohrings, Minnichs, and Hegyis for coordinating the day.

Carlisle County Fairgrounds) for the 30th Annual Corvettes at Carlisle. While many club members were spotted walking the grounds during the 3 days of the event, quite a few of us could not make it. Neither words nor photos do the event justice, but here are a few teasers to hold you over until next year...

Sometimes, the event is ONLY about food. That was the case this day when 41 converged on the Jamison Publick House in Pennsburg, PA. The historic restaurant is owned and operated by the sister of club member Linda Roberts. Most everyone brought their Corvettes to enjoy the $16.50 meal (drink, tax and tip included). Popular entrees included their fish & chips, pastrami sandwich, and chicken Caesar salad. After lunch, Marty Hegyi held a sign directing folks to “Hegyi’s Veggies” where Laura distributed the bounty of her home garden to anyone wanting some freshly picked goodies. Incoming President’s Address Hello Corvette Enthusiasts, Being Club President is something completely new to me. I’ve been a member of AACC for 10 years. During my ten years of membership Kevin Minnich, Susan Hornung, John Kostick, and Frank Shuletsky served as our club leaders. In my opinion each of these did a wonderful job as President. If it weren’t for their leadership, our club would not be in the position we are today. I would like to say “Thank You” to these folks for their years of service and leadership. Without them, I would not be where I am today being the newly elected President of AACC. I would like to also thank the membership for having the confidence in nominating me and electing me to this office. It is my wish to have the same successes these folks have endured and I’m positive that with your help, patience and guidance our club will continue to prosper and grow. Regards, Jeff Mohring (Incoming AACC President) AACC ROADIES RALLY FOR ADAM A “Restaurant Night” Fundraiser WHEN October 29, 2013 4pm - 10pm WHERE Texas Roadhouse Bethlehem/Easton Location 4463 Southmont Way, Easton, PA 18045 610-515-0225 JOIN THE ALLENTOWN AREA CORVETTE CLUB IN SUPPORT OF THE RACE FOR ADAM FOUNDATION!

Two Hall of Fame Corvettes Unveiled Aug 29 | Each Labor Day weekend the National Corvette Museum hosts an induction ceremony for the Corvette Hall of Fame - and for the 3rd year in a row Chevrolet has created special Corvettes to commemorate the induction of their shining stars. This year Chevrolet created two special Corvettes - one celebrating former Corvette Racing Driver Johnny O'Connell, and one celebrating former GM Corvette Assembly Plant Manager Wil Cooksey. Johnny's 2014 Commemorative Corvette is a Cyber Gray Stingray with new Jake emblem on the hood, "STINGRAY" across the windshield, yellow calipers, and special Team Corvette and Hall of Fame graphics on the doors. Wil's 2014 Corvette gives a nod to the 2008 Wil Cooksey Limited Edition Corvette bearing a Crystal Red exterior. Chevrolet Corvette Product Marketing Manager said there are some aspects of the car that they can't yet disclose.
