Some days I feel 17 some I feel 87. Depressing. Gris did you figure out what got bloodied up since it wasn't the barn cat? Storms heavy yesterday , I don't know the real figure from the weatherman on what we got but it overflowed our pool. Saw up out on the interstate an excavator was sitting in a deep hole he'd dug and only the top little bit of the cab was sticking out, they'd pumped it down a bit but yesterdays rains probably buried it again. Sun is out today so probably will just sit in pool all day since I'm off. I need to cut all the hedges down but not up to it today. Posted on: 2023/7/10 14:46

cor123	CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: SPOILER ALERT	#2157
Master Guru Joined: 2011/5/15 18:42 Posts: 947	Press Release CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: A Corvette Championship! Catsburg, Keating, Varrone wrap up GTE Am title in No. 33 C8.R MONZA, Italy (July 9, 2023) – Campionato, Corvette! Corvette Racing clinched the GTE Am Drivers and Teams titles in the FIA World Endurance Championship on Sunday with a fourth-place finish at the Six Hours of Monza for the trio of Nicky Catsburg, Ben Keating and Nico Varrone. The No. 33 Corvette C8.R team finished ahead of its closest championship competitors to wrap up the program’s first title in WEC competition. It’s been a dream season for Corvette Racing with three victories – the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 1000 Miles of Sebring and Six Hours Portimão – in addition to a runner-up finish at the Six Hours of Spa. "Congratulations to Ben Keating, Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone on their championship in the first year for Corvette Racing in the World Endurance Championship’s GTE Am class,” said Mark Stielow, Director, Chevrolet Motorsports Competition Engineering. “This was not an easy accomplishment despite the results this season. The strategy and execution by the entire Corvette Racing team – the drivers, the crew and the engineers – has been excellent throughout the season. This was a deep and competitive class and we are grateful that Corvette Racing has come out on top. It gives us great momentum going into the end of the season and 2024 when the Corvette Z06 GT3.R customer program arrives in WEC." There were a number of scenarios in play to clinch the title. The most straight-forward options were to win or finish second Sunday, or place ahead of its two nearest challengers – the No. 25 TF Sport and No. 85 Iron Dames entries. The latter worked just fine. Keating set the tone for the Corvette team early. He started sixth but picked up spots on consecutive laps to run third prior to a safety-car period at the 15-minute mark. The Corvette crew elected to bring the C8.R into pitlane for a fuel top-off. By the time Keating made his second stop at 80 minutes running, he had worked his way back up to second as the varying pit strategies came into view. He gave way to Varrone just past the two-hour mark but a rare in-race mistake meant the C8.R was called in for a drive-through penalty due to speeding in the pitlane. Varrone slid back to sixth but steadily worked his way back to the lead with strong pace and the pit stop cycle. By the time his driving time was complete just prior to the four-hour mark, the C8.R ran third but less than four seconds from the leader. Catsburg drove the final 92 minutes but was unable to make in-roads to the podium finishers – all of which were from the same manufacturer and ran more than 100 pounds lighter than the Corvette. The C8.R carried 40 additional kilograms of “success ballast” in accordance with GTE Am sporting rules. That is due to the victory in the previous race at Le Mans, 10 kilograms for taking the runner-up spot at Spa (the race prior to Le Mans) and another 15 for leading the championship. In addition, the C8.R received 10 additional kilograms of pre-event weight by the rules-makers, making the Corvette 50 kilograms (110 pounds) heavier than how it began the season at Sebring. The next round for Corvette Racing in the FIA WEC is the Six Hours of Fuji on Sunday, September 10. NICKY CATSBURG, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – FIA WEC GTE AM CHAMPION: “Honestly, this season might have been one of my nicest in motorsport. It has been so cool, right from the start. It was always very relaxed with not a lot of pressure. Somehow the results just kept coming. I cannot deny that we have a great car, a great team and we have an awesome lineup. But we still need to execute, and I feel like we did that really well. Today I feel like we should have come away with a podium. We got a little bit unlucky with some of the safety car situations, but we did great. It’s super, super cool to be able to call myself a World Champion. I think I had won it before with a team but not as a driver. So I’m really, really happy!” BEN KEATING, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – FIA WEC GTE AM CHAMPION: “I’ve said it over and over, but in this championship and in each one of the five races we’ve had, it has been a true team performance overall. You win as a team and you lose as a team, but we’ve also been lucky in quite a lot of places. It’s just been a magical season. Everyone kept talking about us needing to finish first or second in order to clinch the championship here. I kept saying it was more about where the 25 and 85 finished rather than where we finished. We weren’t really racing for that. We were racing to be as far up in the order as we possibly could be. We had a really good race. It’s been an amazing season. I keep on joking that because we’ve finished fourth, we get to lose 10 kilograms in success ballast! Now we can really start pushing hard because we don’t have to be conservative. Just kidding! It’s been a great season. I’m really proud of everyone on the Corvette Racing team.” NICO VARRONE, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – FIA WEC GTE AM CHAMPION:“This means quite a lot. It feels very weird at the moment but means so much. To say that we are World Champions is just an amazing feeling. I’ve been working for this since I was 8 years old and started driving karts. I didn’t imagine it was going to be so early. As Ben said, this was all teamwork all season. We’ve all done a great job – the three of us as teammates, the engineers and the pit crew has been amazing. We did a fantastic job. Today we weren’t racing for the win and couldn’t make it. But finishing fourth and sealing the title already with two rounds to go is just amazing.” LAURA WONTROP KLAUSER, GM SPORTS CAR RACING PROGRAM MANAGER: "How cool is this? The Corvette Racing team joined the WEC full-time last year to learn the championship and had some great successes. We enjoyed it so much and had an opportunity this year with Ben, Nicky and Nico to have a Corvette in the GTE Am class. This group couldn't say no! Now to be able to walk away champions and win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the final year of GTE and the C8.R is a dream come true." Ryan Smith Judy Kouba Dominick Posted on: 2023/7/9 19:20

Another inch last night. We've had rain every day the last week and a half. We are well over 20" for the last 60 days. That's double our yearly average, but more than we've had the last three years put together. Work in the shop continues. Finished the dresser and 3 chests. Started on a bathroom vanity which will go in a complete bath remodel. Which I will start as soon as the Onyx shower comes in. On the health front: my shoulders are starting to return back to aching and losing strength like they were before I had the steroid shots back in April. Was hoping they would heal up over the time the steroids were active. Not sure the shoulder doc will give me another shot this soon... The other thing is, my shoulder doc sent out a letter saying he is moving his practice and cutting back on his hours starting July 1. Only good thing about that is, he's moving the practice about an hours drive closer than he was before. I've got bad ankles too. Sprained them so many times that the ligaments aren't even attached anymore. Stepping on a medium sized pebble can cause the ankle to go out and me falling on my butt. So, when I walk, I have to watch where I'm stepping so I don't step on something that will allow the ankle to roll. We have a surprise birthday party for a friend this afternoon, she's turning 60.

My dwarf laurel hedges out back either need cut to the nub or pulled up, so got me a 6" chainsaw, 20v Craftsman last night, has been handy so far. Only trimmed one bush here but did some for my cousin across town with it. It's all kinds of muggy here supposed to storm yet again late tonight. I might be working inside the house tomorrow or watching tv since it looks like it will rain all day. Posted on: 2023/7/9 0:05

cor123	CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: Third-Row Start for Title Push	#2163
Master Guru Joined: 2011/5/15 18:42 Posts: 947	Press Release CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: Third-Row Start for Title Push Keating qualifies sixth in GTE Am with an eye toward championship clinch MONZA, Italy (July 8, 2023) – Corvette Racing will roll off from the third row of the GTE Am grid Sunday in its push to wrap up FIA World Endurance Championship class titles at the Six Hours of Monza. Ben Keating qualified the No. 33 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R sixth with a lap of 1:48.519 during Saturday’s 15-minute session at the 3.60-mile, 11-turn Autodromo Nazionale Di Monza circuit with a red-flag period in the middle. He, Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone can wrap up the Drivers and Teams championships in a number of different scenarios – the easiest being finishing first or second in class Sunday. Keating ended 0.887 seconds off Sarah Bovy’s class pole-winning time in the No. 85 Porsche. The trio and the No. 33 Corvette team have been nearly perfect all season with three wins and runner-up finish in four races. It’s a remarkable achievement for a first-year trio and the team’s first season in GTE Am. A podium finish this weekend would be just as impressive. The Corvette will carry 40 additional kilograms of “success ballast” in accordance with GTE Am sporting rules. That is due to the victory in the previous race at Le Mans, 10 kilograms for taking the runner-up spot at Spa (the race prior to Le Mans) and another 15 for leading the championship. In addition, the C8.R received 10 additional kilograms of pre-event weight by the rules-makers, making the Corvette 50 kilograms (110 pounds) heavier than how it began the season at Sebring. On a positive note, the No. 33 C8.R raced at Spa with 45 extra kilograms over its minimum weight and placed second, highlighted by a furious late-race defense by Catsburg to hold on to the second position. In addition to a championship, Corvette Racing is going for its second straight class win at Monza. It was the site of the program’s lone 2022 WEC victory in GTE Pro for the duo of Tommy Milner and Nick Tandy. The Six Hours of Monza is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. CET / 6:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, July 9. MotorTrend and MotorTrend Plus will provide both live television and streaming coverage, as will the FIA WEC app. Radio Le Mans will stream audio coverage of the race, as well. BEN KEATING, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – QUALIFIED SIXTH IN GTE AM: “I had hoped we would be higher than P6. It was an unfortunate red flag in the middle of qualifying. I was on my best lap at the peak of the tire and had the best sector one and a pretty good sector two before I had to shut it down at the end. I think that was going to be a really good lap. Because we’re at the end of pitlane, we made the decision to go to the pit exit and queue up there rather than go to the box and change tires. It’s hard to know whether having track position is more important or having the peak of the tire one more time is more important. Hindsight being 20-20, I think I would have preferred to have new tires. The tires just didn’t feel the same to get those last three- or four-tenths out of a lap. We’re carrying 50 kilograms more weight than we were at the beginning of the season. That’s the penalty of the amazing success that we’ve had. If you look at how much 50 kilograms is worth around this track, it’s probably not far from the pole. From a points perspective, I’d rather Sarah Bovy got the pole instead Ahmad Al-Harthy. That gives us a little bit more margin in the championship, but the fact that both will start up front means they will have a little bit of an advantage at the beginning of the race. We’ll see. We have a really, really good racecar. As a team and a car, we carry the weight well. We’ll have to work our way up one hour at a time. We’ve got a lot of experience doing that.” 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship – GTE Am (After four of seven events) Driver Standings 1. Ben Keating/Nicky Catsburg/Nico Varrone – 133 2.

Master Guru Joined: 2011/5/15 18:42 Posts: 947	Press Release: CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: Ben Keating Transcript Corvette Racing’s Ben Keating was part of the FIA World Endurance Championship’s pre-event press conference today ahead of Sunday’s Six Hours of Monza. Keating and teammates Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone share the No. 33 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R and can wrap up the GTE Am Drivers and Teams championships this weekend on the strength of wins at Sebring, Portimao and Le Mans: BEN KEATING, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: “It’s obviously been a fairy-tale season. You’d be crazy to expect it to go this way. Things just seem to have fallen into our hands, really. We haven’t always had the fastest car, and we’ve gotten extremely lucky many times throughout the season. What really makes this kind of unique is that I can look back at every race and I can point to different people on the team where I feel like they have made a specific difference. It’s really been much more of a team win throughout the season, which has been really nice. It’s a really well-run team but a tight-knit group of people who all love to do well and love to perform for each other. It’s a really fun team to be part of. There have been plenty of races so far this season where I feel like I have let everybody down but other people have picked up and covered it for me. It’s been great. Our plan is to do what we've been doing – put one step in front of the other, do our job well and hopefully we get enough points to close it out at some point in the next three races.” ON LAST YEAR’S RACE AT MONZA WITH TF SPORT AND IF THERE IS ANY UNFINISHED BUSINESS: “I really love this track. I feel like I have always been quick here. Unfortunately it has not loved me back. I had a blowout on the backstraight in 2021 and blew the whole front of the car off – the bonnet, the splitter, the floor, the exhaust… it was a big explosion. And of course last year we had a rock that broke the bleeder noodle off the caliper. Going into the braking zone at the second chicane, we had no brakes which ended our race last year in dramatic fashion. I don’t believe this place owes me anything. But we’re going to go back at it again and see if we can change that luck.” The Six Hours of Monza is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. CET / 6:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, July 9. MotorTrend and MotorTrend Plus will provide both live television and streaming coverage, as will the FIA WEC app. Radio Le Mans will stream audio coverage of qualifying and the race. 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship – GTE Am (After four of seven events) Driver Standings 1.

The Corvette C8.R raced at the track for the first time last season. • 3: Number of GTE Am wins in four FIA WEC races this season for Nicky Catsburg, Ben Keating and Nico Varrone with the No. 33 Corvette C8.R. • 6: Hours difference between the IMSA team competing at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and the Corvette Racing WEC team competing at Monza on the same days. • 7: Number of drivers who have won races at CTMP for Corvette Racing. Johnny O’Connell (six), Jan Magnussen (five), Oliver Gavin (four), Ron Fellows (three) and Olivier Beretta (two) each have multiple wins there with the team. • 7: Pole positions for Corvette Racing drivers at CTMP. Oliver Gavin leads with three with Antonio Garcia (2016) being the most recent. • 11: Class victories at Corvette Racing at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park – all since 2001. • 14: Manufacturer Championships for Chevrolet and Corvette Racing since 2001 • 27: Tracks at which Corvette Racing has won races – Baltimore, Charlotte Motor Speedway, COTA, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park/Mosport, Daytona, Detroit, Houston, Laguna Seca, Le Mans, Lime Rock, Long Beach, Miami, Mid-Ohio, Monza, Portimão, Portland, Road America, Road Atlanta, Sebring, Sonoma, St. Petersburg, Texas, Trois Rivieres, Utah, VIR, Washington DC and Watkins Glen • 34: Number of drivers for Corvette Racing since 1999. Ben Keating and Nico Varrone joined that list with their participation – and victory – in the 1,000 Miles of Sebring for the World Endurance Championship. • 125: Victories worldwide for Corvette Racing – 113 in North America, nine at Le Mans – including two weeks ago – and three in the FIA WEC. • 275: Event starts by Corvette Racing since 1999. • 11,080.25: Number of racing miles completed by Corvette Racing in its 20 previous trips to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. That represents 4,506 laps. • 358,144.93: Total number of racing miles completed by Corvette Racing since its inception. To put that in perspective, Corvette Racing is more than halfway to the distance traveled by Apollo 13 – the longest manned spaceflight in history: 622,268 miles. That means Corvette Racing has raced to the moon… and then some!

Apparently got a bunch of rain last night, it started right before I went to bed, woke up to the pool having about 4"extra in there. Car club meeting last night, I had forgot, all I wanted to do was go home and go to bed, so ended up out a lot later than I'd wanted to be. There's quite a few new '23 vettes in the club now, wish I had their cash flow, the Z06 that we did paint protection up here on is due to join this month also, couldn't make it due to prior commitments for the meeting. his wife is the one who left the snotty message on my work phone while I was out for surgery, that should be an interesting meeting in person when they get there lol. I don't care how much money you got, it's still "just a car" and we've done cars that cost 5x as much as those things up here so no need to advance an attitude toward an employee that don't even have anything to do with your job at hand. She got the wrong extension by mistake when she called up here to schedule her car and started off being an entitled brat. Hoping peopley things are at a minimum today Posted on: 2023/7/7 13:59

Had the pickup loaded and off to the town south of us to build a ramp into a storage shed for a ZTr mower. Leo and I had that done and home shortly after lunchtime. Did a little cleaning up in the shop and putting tools away, then we decided it was golf time. So we went out to the course and played golf this afternoon. Cool all day long, with the promise of nasty weather after midnight. Daughter, SIL and Leo have a plan if it gets really nasty to load up the dogs ad come over and into the basement if need-be. Let's hope we don't have THAT nasty of weather tonight. Posted on: 2023/7/7 3:14

cor123	CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: Reviewing Le Mans	#2175
Master Guru Joined: 2011/5/15 18:42 Posts: 947	CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: Reviewing Le Mans DETROIT (July 6, 2023) – Winning a race as big of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is something special. It’s the culmination of a year’s worth of work, preparation and execution. In the case of Corvette Racing, winning this year’s GTE Am class didn’t just validate all of that effort. It also exorcised some very painful memories of near-misses, most notably the team’s end to the 2022 race. Ahead of this weekend’s Six Hours of Monza in the FIA World Endurance Championship, a few Corvette Racing team members shared their thoughts on a sweet and redemptive victory… NICKY CATSBURG, DRIVER, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: "We’ve been trying to win Le Mans with the C8.R for a couple of years. We managed to get P2 in 2021, and last year Alex (Sims), Tommy (Milner) and Nick (Tandy) seemed to have it all sorted before a crazy spell of bad luck took them out of the race. We knew this was our last chance for our car to win it before the end of the GTE category. It’s clear with Ben and Nico that we have a strong lineup, and we had an insanely successful season in WEC going into Le Mans. But that never means winning there is easy. All the ingredients were there, but you still need to make it happen. We lost a lot of time at the beginning of the race, and I really felt like that was the end of it. But this team never gives up. Corvette Racing is an insane team with a lot of young guys so incredibly eager to win races. They were on top of their game! The flawless pitlane work and flawless drives by both Nico and Ben brought us to the top step of the podium. It was the one big 24-hour race that I didn’t have on my CV, and now I do. I can’t begin to thank everyone on this program enough. The whole team has such a good dynamic going on, and the atmosphere is so cool. I’m very thankful and grateful.” LAURA WONTROP KLAUSER, GM SPORTS CAR RACING PROGRAM MANAGER: "Any Le Mans win is incredible, but this year’s was above and beyond. After the heartbreak of 2022 and with this year being the last year of the C8.R, the win was extra special to honor the team and our Corvette racecar. From the first hour, I think many believed there was no possibility for us to overcome the time we spent in the garage. But by sticking with the plan and staying focused, we again demonstrated that never-give-up spirit that defines Corvette Racing. What a great way to close the chapter at Le Mans with the C8.R while we look forward to writing the next one with the Z06 GT3.R.” KYLE MILLAY, CORVETTE RACING CHIEF ENGINEER: “This Le Mans had a much different feel than years past. We always had the same two-car effort, garages, engineering offices, hospitality, driver rotations and so on. This year, not having that feel of familiarity while not impacting our approach added to the feeling of finality from the 2022 event. With about six hours to go we found ourselves with a comfortable lead that would have allowed us to easily bring the car home. I can distinctly remember feeling the buzz that we can win this race from here, but tempering that with knowing that six hours is a long way to go. What seemed like not five minutes later, I happened to look up at the TV feed and saw a yellow car spearing into the wall. I quickly glanced at my telemetry screen and confirmed it was us. The next thing was the radio call to Sims asking if he was ok and confirming our day was done. After sitting there for a few minutes letting it sink in, you close your computer and walk back from the wall. It went the way a lot of Le Mans have gone for us: with good cars not making it to the end. For me personally, it stung as much or more than 2017 when we lost the lead coming to the white flag. “As with all Le Mans I headed into this year’s race anticipating some kind of setback that we would need to recover from. It came in Hour Two with a suspension issue. When something like that happens, you assess the situation and move on. In this case, I felt we had 22 hours to make up two laps and with the new safety car regs, that was a possibility. Everyone kept focused and knew that we still had options to get us back in the fight. We stuck to our plan to try and execute our driver and tire strategy as planned and see what would happen. We didn’t have to wait too long when the first of a few rain storms came to bring out a safety car. This was our first opportunity to get one of our laps back except race control executed the pit exit sequence incorrectly and it kept us trapped two laps back. The weather of the next few hours was pretty messy with car starting to drop out due to heavy accidents and issues. Nico had to drive a crazy stint in mixed conditions and then heavy rain while on slick tires after a gamble didn’t pay off. Over the next few hours, we just slowly narrowed the gap, and more cars dropped out. We luckily caught another safety car which did bring us a lap closer. That was it for safety cars giving us the freebies, and we had to race are way back for the rest. The car was fast and we were in a position with the driver rotation where we could really take out massive chunks of time to the leaders. We raced ourselves back on the lead lap, and then got the lead while building the gap. “In the last few hours of the race, time seems to slow to a crawl when you are at the front. The last hour can be excruciating because there is nothing left to do but watch and think about everything that can go wrong. This time it was smooth sailing. This win had some extra meaning for the guys who had been so close over the last eight years, the ones who worked so hard to develop and build the C8.R and to see it check this one off the list. It was super special, and I was glad I could be a part of it.” TIM KAVANAGH, CAR CHIEF, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: “For me, the events of last year at Le Mans served as a reminder of how tough this race can be. It’s just like the events of our crash at the end of the first practice this year and the suspension issue early in the race. This group never gives up. We don’t know how. “Our success in Le Mans came down to every single person involved executing to their maximum potential and staying determined to achieve our goals together. This is truly the best group of men and women I have ever had the privilege to work with. “We came into the 2023 season not knowing what to expect but proud to be part of the final season of GTE competition and of the C8.R. So many people at GM and Pratt Miller have poured their hearts and souls into this project. A proper send off with a Le Mans win and championship is the only option.” The Six Hours of Monza is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. CET / 6:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, July 9. MotorTrend and MotorTrend Plus will provide both live television and streaming coverage, as will the FIA WEC app. Radio Le Mans will stream audio coverage of qualifying and the race. 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship – GTE Am (After four of seven events) Driver Standings 1.

cor123	CORVETTE RACING AT CTMP: Almost Like Home	#2178
Master Guru Joined: 2011/5/15 18:42 Posts: 947	Press Release: Chevrolet Grand Prix is second race in Canada for No. 3 C8.R CORVETTE RACING AT CTMP: Almost Like Home Chevrolet Grand Prix is second race in Canada for No. 3 C8.R DETROIT (July 5, 2023) – In its 25-year history, Corvette Racing has taken victories at 27 racetracks around the world. Very few have witnessed more Corvette successes than Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, which plays host this weekend to the Chevrolet Grand Prix for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor will team in the No. 3 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R – the mid-engine racecar’s second race at the venerable Canadian circuit. After a second-place finish in the GT Daytona (GTD) PRO class a year ago, Garcia and Taylor, plus the entire Corvette Racing effort, will look to finish one step higher on the class podium this time around. The program first raced at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park – formerly Mosport International Raceway – in 2000. Since then, Corvette Racing has won at the 2.459-mile, 10-turn circuit 11 times… more than any other track except Sebring International Raceway. Both drivers have victories to their credit at CTMP in Corvette racecars. Garcia won the GT Le Mans (GTLM) category in 2014, driving a Corvette C7.R with Jan Magnussen. Taylor was victorious the following year in a Corvette Daytona Prototype for Wayne Taylor Racing. Garcia also is a former pole-winner at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (2016) and set the fastest GTLM race lap in 2015. The No. 3 Corvette drivers, the team and manufacturer Chevrolet enter CTMP third in their respective GTD PRO points standings. Only 73 points separate second through fourth with a maximum of 385 points available this weekend. Lexus and its No. 14 drivers and teams lead the class by 172 points after five races and with six events left in the season. In addition to the extensive success and following at CTMP, Corvette Racing legend Ron Fellows is part-owner of the circuit and is largely responsible for operations at the facility. In his Corvette Racing driving career – spanning 1999-2008 – Fellows won 30 races (three times at CTMP) and three championships in the American Le Mans Series. He also was one of the founding members of the team and a key development driver starting in 1997. The Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is scheduled for 12:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 9. The race will air live on NBC and stream live on Peacock inside the United States and IMSA.com outside the U.S. IMSA Radio will air on-track sessions beginning with Saturday morning’s practice at IMSA.com with the race call also on XM 207 and SiriusXM Online 992. ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: “Last year was nice to get back to Canada and finally race the C8.R there. Our result was good. Last year, we finished second behind the Porsche and the Lexus was behind us. So I don’t know where we will fit in once we get on the track. Hopefully we can find our way to the front for all our fans there. It’s always a really big turnout for Corvette Racing. I was happy with our race at Watkins Glen, with our pit stops, how clean we were and always gaining positions with strategy. We’ll hopefully carry on doing that.” JORDAN TAYLOR, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: “It was cool driving the C8.R around Canadian Tire Motorsport Park for the first time last year. We were actually not bad last year there. We saved a lot of fuel and were in the top-three, sitting behind the Porsche and Aston Martin. Looking at the pace at Watkins Glen, it’s a little concerning because the tracks are kind of similar. But since last year, we’ve done some development so hopefully that can work to our advantage. It’s another sprint race, so we’ll take a couple of pit stops with some strategy and hopefully work some Corvette Racing magic.” 2023 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship – GTD PRO (After five of 11 events) Driver Standings 1.

Finished the trans on the mustang the other day only to find out all of the shifting around was the final death sentence for the motor mounts.....ugh. Ordered a new set, hope to get those installed next week. Headed out tomorrow to the backwoods for a few days off with the family. Tommy, how was the concert? Hope everyone had a great day!

Trees uprooted and limbs down all over town. Got a call from one of my 'regulars' asking if I could pull some branches off his house. So when Leo got here we grabbed saws and ladders and went over to do that. took a couple hours to cut it out and clean it up. City workers came by and picked up what we cut out. Then back to the shop to finish up the chests of drawers and gather tools and materials needed for the job we're going to be doing tomorrow, in the town about 30 miles south of us. Still tired, more storms due in late tonight. Posted on: 2023/7/5 23:47

2014 Memorial Day Car Show Winner! Joined: 2005/9/16 0:00 From Lakin, Kansas 67860 Posts: 12379	Hey guys, Long evening here last night. We had GGD here overnight. She was already in bed when I got home from playing golf at around 9PM (not unusual). We went to bed around 10:30 and at 11:30 she's awake, almost screaming. Rosie gets up with her and gives a bottle, but she won't go back to sleep (quite unusual). So I stay up with her for a while (Like 1:30) and thinking she's tired now, put her back into her bed. No good, finally Roie gets her into our bed and talks her down to finally going to sleep (2:15 or so. But she's sleeping nearly on top of me. But I leave well enough alone for an hour or so until I'm sure she's soundly asleep and try to move her into her own bed, just about the time I get her laid down she's screaming again. Rosie gets up with her and takes her downstairs and finally gets her to sleep... sort of. she's never been like this, we believe she's teething in several places. She was a terror all day, except when Rosie took her to the swimming pool. After they home from there we loaded her up and took her back home as both mpmmy and daddy were both home from work. My a$$ is dragging. This great grand parent thing is tiring. Not sure I'm going to make it to any fireworks display thing as I might be asleep before dark. Posted on: 2023/7/4 23:52

cor123	CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: Title Within Reach	#2193
Master Guru Joined: 2011/5/15 18:42 Posts: 947	Press Release: CORVETTE RACING AT MONZA: Title Within Reach After Le Mans win, No. 33 C8.R team can wrap up GTE Am championships DETROIT (July 3, 2023) – Fresh off a stunning class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans – its ninth since 2001 – Corvette Racing can add one more major honor this weekend with the resumption of the FIA World Endurance Championship. Depending on its finish and those of other title contenders, Corvette Racing can wrap up the GTE Am Drivers and Teams championships at the Six Hours of Spa. Nicky Catsburg, Ben Keating, Nico Varrone and the team of the No. 33 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R have won three of the first four WEC rounds to open a commanding 74-point advantage with 91 possible points remaining in the final three races of the season. Corvette Racing media information is updated and available ahead of the FIA WEC's Six Hours of Monza. Such a position likely was incredibly optimistic for even the biggest Corvette Racing fan before the season began. Not only is this season the first for the Catsburg/Keating/Varrone trio, but it also is the in GTE Am for Corvette Racing. The new challenge hasn’t been too big for the team, which largely has nailed every pit stop and strategy call during this year’s campaign. That was part of the story last year at Monza for the Corvette squad, which won in its debut at the circuit in the GTE Pro class. Tommy Milner and Nick Tandy were winners that day in the C8.R on a strategic masterpiece by the Corvette squad. The team will need to rely on some of that quick and clever thinking this time around as the Corvette will carry 40 additional kilograms of “success ballast” in accordance with GTE Am sporting rules. That is due to the victory in the previous race at Le Mans, 10 kilograms for taking the runner-up spot at Spa (the race prior to Le Mans) and another 15 for leading the championship. On a positive note, the No. 33 C8.R raced at Spa with 45 extra kilograms over its minimum weight and placed second, highlighted by a furious late-race defense by Catsburg to hold on to the second position. The Six Hours of Monza is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. CET / 6:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, July 9. MotorTrend and MotorTrend Plus will provide both live television and streaming coverage, as will the FIA WEC app. Radio Le Mans will stream audio coverage of qualifying and the race. NICKY CATSBURG, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: "Coming into the season, we were confident that we could compete for race wins and the championship. We knew we had a good team and a good car. But I couldn't have expected the success we have had so far with three wins - Le Mans among that - and a chance to win the championship this early. Even though we are in this position, we cannot take anything for granted or lose focus. Fortunately I have teammates in Ben and Nico and a team behind us in Corvette Racing that won't let that happen. Monza is a very good and fast track. We may be a little limited by the success ballast but it will not change our approach and mindset. I'm ready to get there and go for the best result we can get." BEN KEATING, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: “I love Monza. On the WEC calendar, Le Mans and Monza are my best tracks. Interestingly enough in my first year at Monza in WEC, I rented a bicycle and was riding around. On the grandstand side, there is a driver development simulator company. I spent four or five hours there on a whim. At the time, my chief competitor was a Ferrari with Alessio Rivera, and in the sim he was my coach! So every year since then, I always book time. Monza is one of my best tracks, but I’ve yet to finish a race there. It’s been my unluckiest track. One year we had a blowout at 170 mph, and it blew apart the car so much that it bent the exhaust, blew the floor out and blew the hood off. Then last year, we lost brakes and flipped the car. Even though I feel really good about my performance at Monza, the track has not always loved me back. I have a lot of faith in the Corvette and the Corvette Racing team. I really feel like in this season, the team’s performance has been key to our results. This race will be no different. We’ll be carrying 40 extra kilograms for the race, but the other teams chasing us have weight, too. I’m hopeful we can clinch a championship there. It doesn’t require a podium finish but does require some points for us and the 25 and 85 cars having a bad race. With the 40 extra kilograms, it would be a lot to expect us to win. I’m not saying it’s impossible because anything is possible with this car and this team.” NICO VARRONE, NO. 33 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: “I love Monza! It’s a fast track with a lot of history. We have been doing a great job all year. I feel like the pressure from ahead of Le Mans is gone with the victory there. We will arrive at Monza with less pressure and I think enjoying the moment. We will do what we do every race – do what we do, do what we know, keep it clean, be as fast as we can and get the pit stops and strategy right. Everything will come to us after that. If we are champions in Monza, then great. But we are not going in with that mindset. We are going to do our best and trying to win.” 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship – GTE Am (After four of seven events) Driver Standings 1. Ben Keating/Nicky Catsburg/Nico Varrone – 133 2.

The Corvette C8.R raced at the track for the first time last season. • 3: Number of GTE Am wins in four FIA WEC races this season for Nicky Catsburg, Ben Keating and Nico Varrone with the No. 33 Corvette C8.R. • 6: Hours difference between the IMSA team competing at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and the Corvette Racing WEC team competing at Monza on the same days. • 7: Number of drivers who have won races at CTMP for Corvette Racing. Johnny O’Connell (six), Jan Magnussen (five), Oliver Gavin (four), Ron Fellows (three) and Olivier Beretta (two) each have multiple wins there with the team. • 7: Pole positions for Corvette Racing drivers at CTMP. Oliver Gavin leads with three with Antonio Garcia (2016) being the most recent. • 11: Class victories at Corvette Racing at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park – all since 2001. • 14: Manufacturer Championships for Chevrolet and Corvette Racing since 2001 • 27: Tracks at which Corvette Racing has won races – Baltimore, Charlotte Motor Speedway, COTA, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park/Mosport, Daytona, Detroit, Houston, Laguna Seca, Le Mans, Lime Rock, Long Beach, Miami, Mid-Ohio, Monza, Portimão, Portland, Road America, Road Atlanta, Sebring, Sonoma, St. Petersburg, Texas, Trois Rivieres, Utah, VIR, Washington DC and Watkins Glen • 34: Number of drivers for Corvette Racing since 1999. Ben Keating and Nico Varrone joined that list with their participation – and victory – in the 1,000 Miles of Sebring for the World Endurance Championship. • 125: Victories worldwide for Corvette Racing – 113 in North America, nine at Le Mans – including two weeks ago – and three in the FIA WEC. • 275: Event starts by Corvette Racing since 1999. • 11,080.25: Number of racing miles completed by Corvette Racing in its 20 previous trips to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. That represents 4,506 laps. • 358,144.93: Total number of racing miles completed by Corvette Racing since its inception. To put that in perspective, Corvette Racing is more than halfway to the distance traveled by Apollo 13 – the longest manned spaceflight in history: 622,268 miles. That means Corvette Racing has raced to the moon… and then some!

Took a drive toward Memphis late last night, swimsuit here in a store I wanted but out of my size so drove up there to get out of the house. Still came up empty handed, did get rained on coming home, at least the Rover got dusted off. Been in here cleaning for a couple hours, getting tired so bout to hop in the pool a while. Arron has a side job tonight after work so I can finish later while he's out of the house. Nothing else going on here Posted on: 2023/7/3 18:18

Dad enjoyed having them all there together and recognizes everyone, but has no clue where he is, how long he's been there or much of anything else. We all went out to lunch then back to his house to decide what to do with stuff. Went through all the stuff, each taking anything anyone wanted, jubked a bunch and basically got the house closer to ready for sale. We came home with a few things. More than I wanted though. Rosie had a hard time letting stuff go. Sorry for your loss Tommy. Matt, we were up there a few years back, loved it. Posted on: 2023/7/3 4:00
