From the President
I’ll keep this short, big Thank You to Rick and Lynn DiGiovanni for
hosting the July 4th party and making it a great time for everyone that
attended. All that food along with a hot dog maker and snowcone machine—that’s how you throw a summer party! Also another Thank
You to John Bruce and Tereasa Fletcher for organizing and leading the
run to Brenham and Pleasant Hill Winery, that was a fun day! Lots of
cool things planned for the upcoming months so check the calendar
for the dates so you don’t forget. Brewery tasting, cruise to Round Top
are events in August and a tour and lunch at George Ranch Historical
Park in Richmond, Tx in September. Also on Sep 29th & 30th is the
Super Chevy Show in Baytown. We will probably have some cars enter the show but I would like to get a group together for the autocross
on that Sunday. You don’t need anything but your
corvette, helmet and $40 bucks. Membership renewals are in (for the most part) so if you haven’t
renewed this will be your last newsletter e-mailed.

International Council of Corvette Clubs Conference in Bowling Green
The International Council of Corvette Clubs (ICCC) is holding their annual convention in Bowling Green, Kentucky this week. Wednesday they visited the National Corvette Museum and made it the
site for their car show. Beautiful Corvettes filled the circle and truck lot making it a feast for the eyes.
ICCC President, Wil Cooksey, was
pleased with the turnout. "The ICCC is a
club that is comprised of other clubs, similar to the NCCC. We’ve been around for
over 25 years. Our primary interest is to
get together and enjoy activities focused
around the car. Earlier we learned line
dancing at the UAW Hall. That was a new thing that everyone seemed to really
enjoy. We’ve got a bowling night on the agenda, a club version of Family Feud, a
car push competition, road tours, dominoes, drag racing at Beech Bend Raceway, an Awards Banquet, and today we’re here at the Museum for our car show.
The members are really enjoying the Museum and hopefully they will want to go
to the amusement park and enjoy some of the other fun things that Bowling
Green has to offer while they are here. We’ve got people coming from Texas,
Florida, Chicago, Colorado, Delaware, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Georgia…all over the country. As the word spreads and people find out what we’re
about, they want to join in the fun.”

Corvette News
Corvette C6 Z06 catches fire in result of battery charger.
Multiple engine fires have been linked to improper battery charging or use of bargain battery chargers in recent months.
The images are gruesome for any automotive enthusiast: a
show quality C6 Z06 Corvette with the engine bay engulfed in
flames, the body panels of a Porsche 911 melting under the
heat of a battery fire, people’s automobiles destroyed in their
driveways and garages. Recently the internet has been buzzing
with people reporting battery fires causing costly damage to
their car or home. The issue was so large that CTEK, one of the
world’s leading battery charger manufacturers, felt the need to
warn motorists of the dangers of using a battery charger that
lacked what they call “smart functionality”.
Older or lower cost automotive battery chargers, the sort that
many people have purchased from places like Wal-Mart and
EBay, have begun to be clearly a dangerous investment. Battery
chargers are meant to help maintain the life of a vehicle’s battery, but, those lacking “smart functionality” will continue pumping voltage in to the battery after it has reached maximum charge. This can result in shorts to the vehicle’s electrical systems, battery overheating, complete destruction of the battery’s ability to hold a charge, and in a few extreme cases recently reported even a battery fire.
One easy way to avoid this sort of damage is to invest in a smart battery charger. CTEK has become the world’s leading producer of these,
although companies such as GENIUS have begun manufacturing comparable smart chargers as well. A “smart” charger functions in much
the same way as a classic or standard battery charger, but with one large change: smart chargers are able to sense the level of charge that
a battery has and, once it reaches full charge, they shut off the flow of voltage in to the battery. These smart chargers then go in to what is
referred to as “trickle charging” mode, wherein they allow the battery to self drain down to 90 or 95% capacity before giving it another
surge. This keeps the battery at full or near full charge without risk of ever overcharging it, and as result, the dangers that are associated
with overcharging. Trickle charging works to keep the vehicle safe, and also to extend the life of the battery well beyond standard expectations.
If you’re still concerned with directly connecting to the battery as well, another solution exists—specifically for Corvette vehicles. Companies
like SouthernCarParts.com sell both the CTEK and GENIUS battery chargers, as well as aviation style push-pull adapters for Corvettes. These push-pull Corvette charger adapters, deemed StealthLink, utilize smart charger connections and communicate the same information that
the smart charger would see, but they go a step further. The StealthLink push-pull adapter uses a single pin plug—similar to a standard
television cable wire—that connects the battery charger to the vehicle through a different port. This provides a buffer point between the
voltage of the charger and the battery itself. Another benefit of these StealthLink aviation style charger adapters is the ease of use. Once
installed, plugging the battery charger in no longer requires opening the hood or trunk to access the battery. This helps prevent sparking in
the engine bay, where fires can easily be started.
For this reason, airplane manufacturers have been utilizing this form of battery maintenance connection point long before smart chargers
were even available. The chargers themselves still function perfectly well, and should be invested in and used whenever possible, but now
they have an easier and safer connection point than directly to the battery’s terminal points.
Jan-ulf Soderberg, the Head of Brand at CTEK said in his safety release, of the use of smart chargers, “With proper battery maintenance
and care, motorists can ensure that their vehicles start first time as well as extending the lives of their batteries quite dramatically. CTEK
smart chargers are particularly useful for cars that are used infrequently or left standing for long periods of time (i.e. over the winter), although everyday maintenance is advisable.”
It’s a shame to see beautiful vehicles destroyed by owners actively trying to take care of and maintain their vehicles. For this reason, CTEK
and other companies have begun attempts to raise awareness of the dangers of bargain battery chargers, and applications such as the
Corvette StealthLink have been developed. Use of these forms of battery charging is especially important for vehicles that are not driven
every day. Cars which are stored, or which sit in garages for multiple weeks between drives, require smart charging to keep their vehicle
functional and to extend the life of their automobile’s electrical components, as well as for the safety of them and their property.
