5 Governor s Message Howdy Herd, A big thank you to everyone that came out for LCC s Drag races, while a huge learning curve, it was a grand time! We had a short meeting to discuss how the event went and I m looking forward to putting on a great event next fall. LCC did very well at the Drags bringing home two of the six overall best finishes. Sandi Murray in ladies matching times, winning both her group and overall with a delta of That is one consistent driver. Kelley Heins was a close second with a split. Toni Hartley won Ladies overall in the bracket drags, beating both Kelley and Sandi on the way there. A big congrats to the Ladies of LCC, showing the LCC men how to get it done! These are some other notable performances from our drags: Fred Garvin (COAST) - Lowest ET not bad for a 2A car Doug McMahan (Cowtown) - Fastest Trap Speed James Garvin (COAST) - Best Reaction Time (he had 2 other RT in the 0.03 range) To all the competitors, workers and spectators that came to our event, a big, warm, heart felt thank-you! Being the first drag race I have ever chaired and LCC not having run a drag in a long time, there were a lots of learning. A special thank you to Ron Ruston (OCCC) and Doug McMahan (CTV, RCD) on all the behind the screens help they gave me in preparation for the event.

8 Activities (cont.) We are less than a week from our charity car show on Oct. 1. Our charity, the Pets for Patriots program at Texas Humane Heroes, probably isn't jiving with your desire to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey. However, the four-legged victims of Harvey need homes too and Texas Humane Heroes no-kill animal shelter has taken in animals displaced by Hurricane Harvey. Also, veterans may be forced to give up their pets because the apartments that serve as temporary housing may have huge pet deposits. The Pets for Patriots program can help veterans with those expenses, veterinary expenses and adoption fees. We need volunteers for the show as well. Please visit for more information. There are tons of categories so if your Vette isn't running there is probably another category that you can enter. Discount codes are: SW for members to get $5 off DD for Veterans to get $10 off Please share the codes with your friends too. ~~ Kelley Knight Heins ~~ Activities Director

19 Tech Corner (member articles) This section is for content provided by LCC Members. Anyone is welcome to submit articles which would be of interest to Corvette owners. In particular it would be great if someone would write some articles about the early Corvettes (C1 & C2) or later Corvettes (C5-C7). This month s submission is more about racing than technical, but please enjoy Kelley s writeup of how LCC fits in the 2017 NCCC points standings so far.
