It’s great to have driving season here again, and our kick-off driving event is coming soon – the Spring Rally. All SFCC members should be at Billion Southtown at noon Sunday April 29 to go for a drive to who-knows-where. It’s always lots of fun. Also be sure to spread the word about the SFCC Spring Car Show coming up in June.
Before all that – this Saturday at 9:30 am we have Hi-way cleanup where the SFCC cleans 2 miles of ditches south of town on Minnesota Ave. Come and get your exercise and keep what you find! The Black Hills Corvette Classic planning is well underway – we need volunteers so get ready to help out. It’s our only fundraiser of the year and without it we couldn’t run the club like we do.
GM is coming out with a new color for 2013, the last year of the C6, Night Race Blue. This will be the fifth blue for the C6 – we already had LeMans Blue, Jetstream Blue, Supersonic Blue, and Carlisle Blue. Night Race Blue is quite a bit darker. See below – Courtesy Kerbeck Corvette. 
See you at the General Membership Meeting at Callaway’s on Wednesday April 25 @ 7:30 pm.
Get out and drive your Vette today!
Drive and Dine Event!! May 19. Tentative departure 12:00 noon. Will update as information becomes available.
Wheels are polished aluminum – front 18 x 9.5, rear 19 x 12. Tires are General Tire Exclaim UHP – front 275/35 ZR 18, rear 325/30 ZR 19.
Club members are invited to spend a Sunday afternoon with us April 29th for the 2012 Spring Rally. We will start at Billion Southtown at 1pm, but come check out their new showroom and enjoy lunch at 12pm. Plan on spending the afternoon enjoying your car and camaraderie with your navigator/driver! Make sure to have a full tank of gas, a stopwatch, a clipboard, and something to write with. Plan on some new twists to the event for 2012!! The Club will buy you dinner at the conclusion of the rally…. assuming you find the end point!!
