President's Report - From the Driver's Seat

Our March meeting was held on the 26th, and, we had a great turnout. We’re into April now and hopefully the cold and snow of winter has finally passed. We’re all getting the itch to get the cars out. Opening Weekend at Watkins Glen is slated for April 14th, and the Club is scheduled for 11:00 AM track time, weather permitting. Contact Steve Popple if interested in attending. We’ll be meeting at Van Bortel Corvette and leaving for the track at 9:15 AM.

We’re still looking for veterans to be escorted and honored for the Memorial Day event with the Rochester Red Wings. If you are interested in being honored, email George Werner, or see us at the April meeting. Game time is 1:05 PM and tickets are $5, with free admission for the honored veterans.

Our list of events is growing, with over 100 on the calendar at this time. Things are starting to crank up. Cutoff for the Spring Picnic at Shadow Lake is April 19th, and the price is $20 for club members, $30 for non-members. Up next on the Weather Tech Sports Car Championship Series schedule for Corvette Racing is the Bubba Burger Sports Cr Grand Prix at Long Beach, April 13-14th. The Porsche #911 won the GTLM class, with Corvette Racing looking to improve on the 6th and 8th place finishes in class. The April club meeting will be Monday, April 30th.

Sincerely,
David Fournigault
RCC President 2018
