Hi Everyone,

Last Saturday, Leslie and Joe Scafidi, along with Paul Thompson, invited us to the 2nd annual open house of the BowTie Shop in Billerica. Joe and his crew worked hard to put on a good show, and the results paid off. There was a nice turnout from the Corvette community. Fellow members Eddie, Carl, Janet, Don, Pete, Dave W., Anne W., and I toured the Bowtie Shop. There are truly some works of art in progress there.

Also last Saturday, Bert, Marie, and John R. attended the sneak peak presentation of the new ZR1 at the Attleboro Arts Museum. Bert said that Kirk Bennion gave a very informative insight into the design of the new ZR1. A wing, similar to the C6R wing, along with louvered fenders and a hood, were scrapped because their negatives out weighed their benefits. The car also started out as a twin turbo, but after the prototype burned to the ground due to an engine malfunction, that idea was scrapped. There were 27, or so, name/logo combinations, before ZR1 was chosen. The Corvette Action Center recorded a long portion of Kirk's presentation. Check it out at:
