Greeting Corvette fans!

It's May already, and so far, we're off to a good start.  The membership drive is in full swing, and we welcome all who are interested to check out the benefits offered by the club.

I am proud to welcome our newest sponsor, Ellis-Brooks Chevrolet.  I met with Mrs. Brooks and got a commitment to help provide, not only financing for events, but a place to hold our business meetings.  Thank you Mrs. Brooks! and thanks to all of our friends who help make the club possible.  I am still negotiating with a local eatery to have monthly events, and am hopeful that the details can be worked out by the end of the month, so as to begin this summer.  Also, I am in the process of organizing the club's first annual event to be held at Golden Gate Park.

Don't forget to order club merchandise, found on the club website.  All of the merchandise is available to all, and discounted for club members.

I participated in North Bay Corvette's Pac Bell Autocross on the 28th of April, and might add, I had a blast.  It was quite exhilarating, not to mention the 4 cones I piled into in the process.  Looking forward to more of the rush!  If your club has an event coming up, please submit the information, so we may list it on our calendar of events.

To those of you that still owe me pictures of your Corvettes, please get them to me, so I can add them to the gallery.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed their advice and information to help assist us with the club and the website.  Please keep your comments coming, we welcome all.

So, until next month........

Happy Motoring,

Terryl J. Smith

How to Remove and Clean your Radiator

Overview
C4 Corvettes seem to have chronic overheating/run hot problems, especially after about 100,000 miles.
