Our newest member, Kurt Taube, was introduced and welcomed by the club. Richard also introduced the 2014 Club officers. Minutes: The December, 2013 meeting minutes, as printed in the newsletter and as posted on the website, were approved without additions or corrections. Membership Status: As of December 31, 2013 the club had 99 members: 89 Full and 10 Associate. Financial Report: Treasurer Greg Stanley reported that at the end of 2013 the club had 89 fully paid members, and that both the 50/50 charity fund and the overall club’s financial status are sound. Greg also noted that as of today over 50 members have paid their 2014 club dues. Dues are $25.00 if paid by March 1st,$ 30.00 if paid later. Dues may be paid by bringing a check to the next meeting, or by mailing it to: Greg Stanley, 2015 Woodwind Drive, Leland NC 28451. Greg notes that as of 2014, Associate Members will not be listed on the Treasurer’s report, a subject that can be discussed further at a future membership meeting. National Corvette Museum: Museum Ambassador Don Paulsen reported on the Club’s progress towards meeting the $15,000.00 goal to purchase one acre at the Museum’s Motorsports Park. At present, $3,300.00 has been collected and $1,750.00 has been pledged. Museum “Lifers” John and Carol Fort are currently in Arizona working at and enjoying the Barrett-Jackson Auction. Don noted that the new 2015 ZO6 and the C7.R GT LeMans race car will be presented at the Museum’s April Bash; see Don or the NCM website for information. New Business: Richard Fox discussed a meeting of the Board following the Jan. 4 th Cars & Coffee, which resulted in a comprehensive schedule of Club events for the entire upcoming calendar year. Many of these are already in the Club newsletter’s calendar section, and more will surely follow as planning falls into place. Some highlights of Richard’s presentation were: Airborne/Special Ops Museum in Fayetteville, Saturday January 25: Museum admission is free; there is a $5.00 fee to ride in a motion simulator; exhibits include a display of wreckage from the “Black Hawk Down” mission in Somalia in 1993. A lunch afterwards is planned for Cheddar’s Café, and mall shopping is very close nearby. Lake Waccamaw Boy’s and Girl’s Home will be combined with a Charity Poker Run, Saturday April 5: The poker run is being organized by Chuck Josephson and Greg Stanley, with proceeds to benefit Lower Cape Fear Hospice (Brunswick Co.), Good Shepherd, and Canines for Service (both in Wilmington). Charlotte Motor Speedway, Saturday March 15: This event is now on hold due to the Speedway’s insurance requirements. Richard is working to iron things out with them. An alternative track event may be a return to Rockingham Motor Speedway on Sunday March 16. Finalizing this event is also still pending but Richard thinks it looks good. 2nd Annual Club Picnic at Moore’s Creek Battleground: Saturday May 17. Vice-President Tony Caracciolo asked about getting a collective photo of all Club cars sometime after the membership is settled in March, and it was suggested that the gathering at Moore’s Creek might be a convenient, as well as picturesque venue. Food, Fun and Fireworks at the Fox’s, Thursday July 3. A blast, a blast, and a BIG BLAST! 6th Annual CFC Club Show, Saturday September 20 (Meet and Greet) and Sunday September 21 (Club Show). So many details yet to be worked out….But, Car Show Co-Chairperson Ellen Boyd has always recognized the need to get a jump on things early, and she brought up the need for the Club to establish our interest in continuing the sponsorship by Jeff Gordon Chevrolet of the show’s charitable contribution to AARP and the Food Bank of Eastern N.C. Ellen made a motion to continue this partnership, and it was passed without opposition. Darlington Track Event: Probably November this year, date TBD. Richard brought up the possibility of including other Corvette clubs, and other car clubs as well. Tony suggested a possible use of the event as a fund-raiser for our involvement in the One Acre Club at NCM. Some other promising, but still tentative, events: Tony is working on a club trip to Coastal Plains Dragway in Jacksonville. Coastal Corvettes is organizing a trip to Rick Osbourne’s Restoration facility in Ash, N.C., currently scheduled for Saturday February 15. Hendrick Motorsports in Charlotte, Saturday March 15. The date is pending, as is the possibility of visiting Hendrick’s private Heritage Collection, in addition to the museum. Bobby Smith is working on two events: 1) Tentatively planned for Saturday May 3, a visit to Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro. Bobby sees this as a charity-based visit, with the children of base personnel chaperoned by their parents to see the Corvettes up-close, followed by a lunch provided by the base for us. We may pay some amount for the meal, to be a donation to support base activities for the kids. Bobby plans to get an e-mail out to the members in the near future providing more details. And 2) The 2nd Annual CFC Road Rally, in November. Other New Business: Membership Chairman Dave Flinchbaugh is working to increase the membership’s participation in the RIDE section of our website, and will be contacting us regarding providing names and photos for the site. Send your photos to Webmaster John Talatinian at jtdamage@gmail.com. John Talatinian discussed another concern about the club’s website, namely that it is handled by an outside vendor that has not always been professional enough; for example, the site goes down periodically. John asked about a club allocation of funds to get a new vendor that would be more dedicated to working closely with us, and noted that our cost might be as little as $10.-$12.00 per month. A motion was made about this request, and it passed without opposition. It should be mentioned that, despite the problems, in the recent past our club’s website was honored with NCM’s Club Website Of The Year—surely a tribute to the quality of John’s work! Tony reported that Best Uniforms has nearly finished its design of the club-logo jacket. He also told us about the dyno-tune that his C5 recently received at National Speed, and of their ability to computer-adjust the engine for optimized running on regular gas. Blair Poteate cautioned about running gas containing ethanol in our cars, and of the need to be careful which gas station(s) you use. Finally, Frank Bacchi contributed a coupon for an alignment, which was won by Gordon Boyd in a split 50/50 drawing—the green went to Len Cuthbertson. Next Membership meeting at 6:30pm on Tuesday February 11th in the Jeff Gordon Used Car Building. The meeting was adjourned by Richard Fox at 7:45pm, following which a group convened at Shucker’s restaurant for a social gathering and dinner. Respectfully submitted by Richard Randall, Secretary OVEMBER BIRTHDAYS 6 12 20 21 22 25 26 Mike Hamby Jimmy Wilkie Greg Stanley Gary Decker Jay Rosen Ray Mathis Dale Janney I will work on getting a list of everyone’s birthday and updating this with names as quickly as I can. Please e-mail Jim Martin (JMarti2148@aol.com) the day and month of you’re and your spouse/ significant other birthdays I will be looking for items to populate the newsletter with so any corvette or major personal news you want to share with the members please e-mail me. Also any information you have about upcoming events please forward for the events calendar. And please if you go to a corvette event take some pictures and write a short note about it and send them to me Thank you Peter This will give you goose bumps! Ever wonder why a Top Fuel dragster gets a rebuilt engine after each run? Stay with this - even if you aren't a 'car nut', this is stunning. * One Top Fuel dragster outfitted with a 500 cubic-inch replica Dodge (actually Keith Black, etc) Hemi engine makes more horsepower (8,000 HP) than the first 4 rows of cars at NASCAR's Daytona 500. * Under full throttle, a dragster engine will consume 11.2 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded Boeing 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate but with 25% less energy being produced. * A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to merely drive the dragster's supercharger. * With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lockup at full throttle. * At the stoichiometric 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitro methane the flame front temperature measures 7050 degrees F. * Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases. * Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. Which is typically the output of a small electric arc welder in each cylinder. * Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way thru the run, the engine is 'dieseling' from compression and the glow of the exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow. * If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with enough force to blow the cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half !! * Dragsters reach over 300 MPH +... before you have completed reading this sentence. * In order to exceed 300 MPH in 4.5 seconds, a dragster must accelerate an average of over 4 G's. In order to reach 200 MPH well before reaching half-track, at launch the acceleration approaches 8 G's. * Top Fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light! * Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load. * The redline is actually quite high at 9500 RPM. * THE BOTTOM LINE: Assuming all the equipment is paid for, the pit crew is working for free, & NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run will cost an estimated $1,000 per second. 0 to 100 MPH in .8 seconds (the first 60 feet of the run) 0 to 200 MPH in 2.2 seconds (the first 350 feet of the run) 6 g-forces at the starting line (nothing accelerates faster on land) 6 negative g-forces upon deployment of twin 'chutes at 300 MPH An NHRA Top Fuel Dragster accelerates quicker than any other land vehicle on earth . . quicker than a jet fighter plane . . . quicker than the space shuttle....or snapping your fingers !! The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.420 seconds for the quarter-mile (2004, Doug Kalitta). The top speed record is 337.58 MPH as measured over the last 66' of the run (2005, Tony Schumacher). Let's now put this all into perspective: Imagine this........... You are driving a new $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered Corvette Z-06. Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged & ready to 'launch' down a quarter-mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard, on up through the gears and blast across the starting line & pass the dragster at an honest 200 MPH.... The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that exact moment. The dragster departs & starts after you. You keep your foot buried hard to the floor, and suddenly you hear an incredibly brutally screaming whine that pummels your eardrums & within a mere 3 seconds the dragster effortlessly catches & passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 MPH.....and it not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the planet when he passed you within a mere 1320 foot long race !!!! That, my friends.....is acceleration. CALENDAR OF EVENTS JANUARY Sat. Tues Sat. 4 14 25 Cars & Coffee BMW on New Center Rd Lunch after at Carrabba's Cape Fear Corvettes Monthly Meeting FEBUARY Sat.

On Sunday March 16 from 10 AM to noon we would head over to Charlotte Motor Speedway. We would do 10 laps behind a pace car, pit, switch drivers if desired then do an additional 5 laps. After the laps we would get a group picture on the track and an individual shot in the "Winners" circle. No helmets required, Convertibles W/tops down are allowed, ambulance and paramedics provided. This is an opportunity to drive your Corvette or sports car on a mile and a half Superspeedway. For those that have not attended one of our track events it is a BLAST. The cost will be about $125. per car. Just clarify, the $125. is for the track only. Food, lodging, Fuel and anything else is extra. Please let Richard Know as soon as you can but no later than the January meeting if you are willing to make a commitment to the event.

The other three locations have prepared a list of items that they need for their day to day operation. Please collect some of these items as you find them and plan on delivering them during our Charity Poker Run.
