I’m very grateful to have an enthusiastic group of officers along with our wonderful members that have worked and devoted personal resources which makes the CV&CCC the strong and successful organization we are today. I owe a great amount of thanks to Immediate Past President Ken McNally, who over the last 2 years has been an outstanding leader and colleague. His work with the officers to help implement The CV&CCC By-Laws allows for the rapid gathering of ideas, resulting in timely decision making which is important for many club functions. We have created a new position of Communications Director. We are very pleased to announce that John Buchner has accepted this new role. We value the knowledge and expertise that John brings to our club! As I assume this role, I keep in mind the trust and belief I have in our club. We have a membership that has exceptional drive and a common goal to grow our club in a timely manner. I look forward to working with each and everyone of you to accomplish our goals and contribute to the overall mission of our club which is to give back, and to lend support to the community we all live in! One of the many objectives the CV&CCCC has in 2016 is to further enhance our membership. We also have set two immediate objectives to further our involvement in the community we all live in. I am happy to announce that our officers have accomplished both of these goals in January. The first of the two objectives was to have our club join the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce. They will help promote our club and its members to various levels of local government, as well as private sector entities. The second objective was to form a working relationship between The CV&CCC and the Citrus County Cruisers. We will talk more about our partnership at the February 11th Member Meeting. We plan on continuing to improve communications and strengthening mutual efforts between our club and its members! As these relationships are nurtured, the officers will continue to represent the interest of our members and present a cohesive voice while participating in committees, and legislative processes. In addition, the Officers of the CV&CCC will look to reach out to our members and engage those who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our club. We encourage all of our members, new as well as seasoned to share their views, experience or expertise by submitting articles for the club newsletter. As your President I would like to personally encourage you to get involved! A lot of exciting ideas will be introduced to our members on February 11th. I hope to see all of our members attend this meeting.

Page 22 CV&CCC Members Clint & Barb Russell CV&CCC Members Clint & Barb Russell shared these great pictures from the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. Located at 20000 S. Maricopa Road in Chandler, Arizona. Barb and I stopped in unannounced and asked if we could just look around. Much to our surprise the manager took us on a personal tour of the entire facility which included the garage area, skid pads, race track and pit road. He left nothing out. Truly amazing! The only downfall is they are switching to Dodge Vipers and Hellcats for their driving school! No more Corvettes or Camaros!

Page 26 Does “E-Ray” Trademark Filing Point To An Electric Corvette? On December 16th, General Motors filed for trademarks on the terms “E-RAY” and “CORVETTE E-RAY” in the Automobiles category with the US Patent and Trademark Office, leading to speculation about whether the General had concrete plans to produce either an all-electric or hybrid Corvette. You may recall that back in 2014, the trademarking of the name “Zora” led to a similar flurry of supposition about a mid-engine, range-topping “superCorvette,” but then again, you probably didn’t hear about GM putting in requests to register “Spark Activ,” “Badlands,” “Enclave Tuscan,” or “Regal Tour X” either. To some extent, trademark filings are a bit of corporate CYA General Motors has an intellectual property division of their legal department, and in terms of resources it’s not a particularly taxing process to just go out and register anything that you might possibly want to use later. Just look up why Ford’s supercar is just the GT and not the GT40 if you want a real world example of why automakers should trademark everything in sight. With that in mind, the E-RAY filing could very well be the result of a note in the margins of some internal meeting, rather than a hint of things to come. Citrus Vettes & Camaros Car Club Volume 2 Issue 2 Page 27 Does “E-Ray” Trademark Filing Point To An Electric Corvette? On the other hand, the success of the Tesla Model S P85D shows that there’s a market for an electric car that can run a 2.8 second 0-60 time, and Chevrolet could certainly use the Corporate Average Fuel Economy benefit of replacing a few Z06 sales with something that delivers a better number in the fleetwide calculation. If you’d ask us to guess, we’d say a hybrid is more likely than a pure electric Corvette; one look at the Spark EV’s spec sheet compared to the Volt shows that GM’s all-electric mojo still isn’t quite where it needs to be to go head to head with Tesla, and a performance hybrid would make more sense. Something akin to the discontinued 2008-2013 Tahoe Hybrid would seem to be in GM’s comfort zone, and an LT1 with electric assist would be a formidable power plant indeed. Chevrolet has already demonstrated a ready-for-prime-time V8 hybrid drivetrain with the 2008-2013 Tahoe. Page 28 Chevrolet: 2016 Autoweek Constructor Award Another year of motorsports domination for the Bowtie brand Chevrolet was up to its old tricks in 2015, and that meant another season of manufacturers titles. In NASCAR, Chevrolet made it 13 straight manufacturer’s championships – 39 overall – with 15 victories in the Sprint Cup Series. The winning beat also played on in the Verizon Indy Car Series (fourth consecutive title, 10 wins in 16 races); NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series (second consecutive title, 21st overall) and the IMSA Tudor United Sports Car Championship (second consecutive season). Individual race wins for the Bowtie brand included the Indianapolis 500 and Chevy’s first overall win (and a podium sweep) at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in 50 years. “This is a true team effort like it always is in motorsports,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president, Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “It’s about preparation, it’s about great strategy and execution, and on top of that, you must have great teams and we do.” Citrus Vettes & Camaros Car Club Volume 2 Issue 2 Page 29 CV&CCC “The ROAR” IMSA Testing for the Rolex A special thank you to the following CV&CCC Members who spent the day at Daytona International Speedway to watch the Continental Tire Sports Cars Test along with the Weather Tech Series Sports Cars.

On December 19, 1962, Chevrolet General Manager Semon “Bunkie” Knudsen submitted his request to the GM Executive Committee that consisted of Fred Donner, Jack Gordon, Ed Cole, and others, asking for an exemption for the Corvette from the 1957 ban on racing. Donner said he’d think about it. He indeed did, and told Knudsen, “No!” Imagine how Corvette history would have changed had Donner said, “Yes!” Duntov wanted to build 125 Grand Sports and then as many as 1,000, to be made available through Chevrolet dealers. The Grand Sport would have had continuous running changes worked into each new build. Well, it’s fun to daydream, but the lesson here is “development.” Grand Sport Coupes #003, #004 and #005 were loaned to various teams for a few years. Remaining Coupes #001 and #002 were made into roadsters. Eventually, all five cars were sold to privateers. Amazingly, all were wrecked, except #002, but none beyond repair. Today, all five have been lovingly restored and are untouchable, unless you’ve got at least $5 million, maybe more. Replica cars have been around for a long time and most are actually kit cars that use a donor car as a foundation. Companies such as Superformance have been building Ford GT40 and Cobra replica cars since 1996. These are custom, handmade-to-order, replicas that are professionally built turnkey cars that can be almost identical to the originals. Before Duntov Motors was formed in 2007, there had been a few companies offering Grand Sport replicas, but these cars were based on C4 Corvette components, and were too often not so good. Enter Alan Sevadjian. Alan has a unique background that made him want to build track-ready Grand Sport race cars. You see, Alan Sevadjian once owned one of the five original Grand Sport Corvettes, car #003. He owned the car from 1965 to 1968 and while he definitely “drove the car,” he never “raced the car” because he was only 19 years old and you had to be 21 to get your SCCA license. But Alan kept the driving in the family. His dad, Ed Sevadjian, co-drove the Grand Sport with some of the best drivers of the day, until 1968 when he sold off the car. Citrus Vettes & Camaros Car Club Volume 2 Issue 2 The Duntov Motor Company Page 37 Page 38 The Duntov Motor Company Alan Sevadjian went on to be a successful driver, winning four SCCA championships, and started a successful business building race cars and restoring Corvettes. Given the astonishing value of the five surviving Grand Sport Corvettes, I’m sure that most of the early owners have had the thought, “DRAT! Why did I sell my Grand Sport?!” “Seller’s regret” can run high in the Corvette community, but Alan decided to do something about it. By the early 2000s, he decided that since he already knows how to build race cars, why not build a duplicate of the Grand Sport he entered at Sebring in 1965? He knew that there was no way he could get away with using “Grand Sport Corvette” in his business name, so he went for something better: the “Duntov Motor Company.” Zora Arkus-Duntov passed on April 21, 1996, at the age of 86, so Alan approached Zora’s widow, Elfi Arkus-Duntov asking for the exclusive right to use the name “Duntov” for his lightweight race car business. Elfi knew from Alan’s background as a former Grand Sport owner, racer, race car builder and Corvette restoration expert that he would do well by her family name. Mrs. Duntov wanted to introduce the Grand Sport and Zora to a younger generation of Corvette enthusiasts. Duntov Motor Company is based in Dallas, and their shop is just a touch north in Farmers Branch. The company officially builds Corvette Grand Sport race cars, as well as prepares and maintains race cars, full Corvette restoration services and trackside services. They also manufacture racing parts, including brakes, chassis and suspension for 1963-’82 Corvettes. The first Duntov Motors Lightweight made its debut at the HRS Sebring Historic Race in March 2005. Those with a keen eye for mid-year Corvettes immediately noticed the slightly altered front and rear of the car. The leading edges of the front and rear were indeed lower. What happened was when they made a two-part mold from a D&D Grand Sport customer car. The mold was fine, but drooped a little, which no one objected to. Many thought it was a deliberate enhancement to better manage the airflow over and under the car. After Alan made the licensing deal with GM, he acquired a set of molds and original full-size Grand Sport blueprints. Citrus Vettes & Camaros Car Club Volume 2 Issue 2 Page 39 The Duntov Motor Company The molds were made directly from original Grand Sport #002 while the car was being restored. Grand Sport #002 was the only one of the five cars that had never been wrecked. The body is now a spot-on replica of the original. The tube chassis of the car is built exactly as the originals, including the Swiss cheese treatment on the frame’s side rails. While the suspension looks vintage, it is completely worked out. The side tube cage offers driver protection and greatly increases the overall stiffness of the car. This allows for better control over suspension settings because the frame isn’t twisting while the suspension is trying to work. Duntov Motors Continuation Grand Sport race cars start at around $120,000. The official legal blessing from Mrs. Duntov helped lay the groundwork for becoming an official GM licensed product by 2009. Having the GM license allowed Duntov Motors to be able to partner with Superformance to give them the exclusive right to build and sell street versions of the Duntov Motors Grand Sports. Superformance was already successfully building Cobra and GT40 replica cars that are built to look like the originals. The workmanship and attention to detail, as well as being able to custom tailor a car to the owner’s preferences, is well known. Duntov Motors has designed the chassis so that any of GM’s crate engines can be easily used—anything from a 350hp ZZ4 iron crate engine to an all-aluminum LS9 with 638 horsepower. While we all love big power numbers, 350 h.p in a 2,500-pound car yields a power-toweight ratio of 7.14:1. Using an LS9 lowers the ratio to just over 3.9:1. With one of the Duntov 850hp aluminum big-blocks, the ratio is pounded down to an insane 2.94:1! The Duntov Motors race cars are essentially period correct, with all the bugs worked out as if Chevrolet and Duntov had been able to hone and develop the Grand Sport. But even all fixed-up, the car still delivers a 1960s race car experience. Those power-to-weight ratios read sexy, but the car is riding on tires that are only around 9 inches wide. Controlled drifting is the proper driving style for a race car such as this, if the driver has the nerve. It’s totally different from racing a modern car with very wide, very sticky tires. Alan Sevadjian shared an insight into the original Grand Sports. Most stories about the original cars make mention of the dreaded front-end lift that some drivers claimed made the front wheels come off the ground, or at least made the steering feel “floaty” at speed. However, Zora was okay with that because it provided more weight transfer and helped with traction on the over-powered car with not enough tire. Well, easy for Zora to say, he wasn’t driving in race car traffic. The other common complaint about the original cars was instability under braking. Remember, the original Grand Sports never got the development they needed and some of the suspension parts were inadequate. When drivers hit the big Girling disc brakes, the A-arms flexed, and the car literally leaped sideways! Those same components are now built with thicker chrome-moly steel, eliminating the problem. Page 40 The Duntov Motor Company What’s next for the Duntov Motor Company? Before Zora’s Grand Sport project came to a screeching halt thanks to Mr. Donner’s decision to reject Knudsen’s request for the Corvette to be exempt from the “No Racing” ban, Duntov was planning to take a team of Grand Sports to race at Le Mans. So, the Duntov Motor Company has built two Grand Sports intended for Le Mans. The first is already at the Callaway operation in Germany, with a team working to get homologation certification. Hopefully, we’ll see the first ever appearance of a Grand Sport Corvette at the 2016 Le Mans race. Zora and Elfi would be thrilled! Citrus Vettes & Camaros Car Club Volume 2 Issue 2 Page 41 Ruthless and roofless: the limited edition Callaway Camaro Callaway has pushed the amount of horsepower on its latest limited edition Camaro through the roof, so it's a good job the SC600 is a convertible. For 40 years, Callaway Cars has been taking the best vehicles the US has to offer and making them better -- particularly those with a Chevrolet bowtie badge on the grille -- whether for street legal or dedicated track use. "The 2016 Camaro is a superb car that's light, nimble and fun to drive," said Reeves Callaway, founder and CEO of Callaway Cars. "We designed the Callaway Camaro SC600 to deliver an even more driver-focused experience for those seeking even more power. Using the Triple Cooled technology, we developed for the Corvette Z06, we created the most powerful Callaway Camaro available today." How powerful exactly? Callaway has given a conservative figure of 600+hp and these horses are not only street legal, the work is covered by a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. The Gen Three supercharger at the heart of this performance revolution also takes center stage from an aesthetic perspective. Page 42 Ruthless and roofless: the limited edition Callaway Camaro Clearly visible through the car's already imposing hood it will give anyone seeing it in their rear-view mirror a fright, but being exposed to the elements also ensures the best airflow and cooling. "It produces serious horsepower, run after run and lap after lap. The Callaway Camaro SC600 offers supercar capabilities with superb drivability and full compliance. It's simply an amazing car," said Mike Zoner, Callaway Cars' Managing Director. Just as impressively that huge blower provides its extra power across the rev band, rather than all being delivered in one big, overpowering lump of performance only suitable for drag racing. The car based on the flagship Camaro SS also gets distinct doorsill panels, Callaway badging inside and out, special key fobs and a number of little interior tweaks. When the first deliveries begin in the first quarter of 2016, the car will be offered as an automatic and a manual, and, as well as the soft top, a coupe version will also be available. Prices will start at $54,290.
