LowDown Article - Historian
I have been the historian for Cowtown
Vettes since 2014. When the historian position was created back in the day
there were no computers, digital photos, social media, etc. Club
members met together each year or so and collectively put together a
scrapbook of sorts. The bulk of these book are not archivable and are
subject to deterioration. That being said they are still in decent
condition and enjoyable to look at. The last scrapbook was created
in 2014 for the 40th anniversary and the plan it to create one for 2024 to
commemorate the 50th anniversary. Going forward we will rely on our
very comprehensive digital archives for both our written and photographic
histories.
In addition to scrapbooks, we have a fairly
comprehensive collection of LowDowns from the inception of the club and
trophies, etc. mostly from 2000 to the current year. This is
contained in 8 storage boxes and 2 large plastic totes. We have been
fortunate that Sylvia & Larry Hoaldridge offered space to store these
items at their home. These are still at the Hoaldridge home for the time
being, but I am in search of another storage location. Ideally
indoors (heated & cooled) would preserve the life of these items longer,
but they have also “lived” in garage space. If anyone has an area
where these can be stored it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I’m Steve Parker, your
new CTV Treasurer. First off, let me introduce myself to those in the club
that do not know me. My wife Lee Ann and I have been active in classic cars
and particularly Corvettes for several decades. I bought my first Corvette,
a ratty orange 1965 coupe in 1976 and have had every generation since.
Although my profession was a banker (now retired), my stress relief has
always been wrenching on old cars. Lee Ann has been
entertained by the roughly 150 cars that have come through my shop through
the last 40 years. We currently have four Corvettes. Included in the
collection are 1958 red convertible, 1966 yellow coupe, 2022 orange
convertible and Lee Ann’s 2011 orange Grand Sport convertible autocross car.
We were members of CTV in the early 2000’s for
several years and rejoined in 2023. Lee Ann is active in NCCC autocross and
won the 2024 CTV Club Top Competitor award, is high point ladies competitor
in the NCCC Region and is currently ranked 15th in the nation. As
you can see, she enjoys her racing events.
I’m looking forward to
working with Doug as he assists me in the transition of the Treasurer job.
He has done a great job, and I strive to continue his quality of detail.
As a reminder, our Monthly Treasurer Reports are
located on the Member’s Only page on our website. If you have any questions
about the reports, please feel free to reach out to me or Doug.

If you have not rec’d your 50 th Anniversary
Cowtown Vettes commemorative Deck of Playing Cards, please attend the next
Membership Meeting and see me. Each primary member /
household receives one deck of cards. I’ll bring a few
decks on the next cruise as well. If you’d like an extra
set (or two), see me as well, we did purchase extra decks of cards- these
are $5 per deck.
We will have the Events, Socials and such in the
next Slideshow @ Fred’s on January 8. The slideshow will continue to
include some Corvette Trivia along with various other Corvette
happenings around the country. Larry (our webmaster) does post a
lower-resolution version online, on the CTV Website. Please provide any
submissions for the slideshow to me no later than Sunday evening of
the Membership Meeting week.
If you have been working on or updating your
Corvette with new items …or if you have taken a trip in your Corvette and
have some photos to share with membership, please send those to me and
I’ll include them in the monthly slideshow. Cowtown’s
Microsoft O365 account allows us to use OneDrive, which makes
it much easier for you to provide high-resolution photos from events for the
web and/or monthly slideshow. If you would like to share photos, please
take them in high-resolution; if not, they can’t be used on
the big screen since they would show grainy / blurry. These are needed
by noon, the Monday before the Membership Meeting. If you have questions,
please contact me and I’ll provide you with more information and the
OneDrive link to share your photos – basically use the highest
resolution option you can set on your camera or smartphone .
When you receive a CTV-ALL eMail blast, we would
request that you please only reply to the
originator when you are replying to a CTV-ALL email. When you opt
to reply, simply select Reply on the email, then remove
the CTV-All entry and replace it with the email address of the
originator. If you are sending CTV-ALL emails, please include your email
address in the body of the email so you have that address handy.
If you change your email or home address, Corvette, or
other info – please drop an email to
CTV-Membership@groups.io.
If you are not receiving CTV-ALL emails, please get
with me so we can either add you or figure out why you aren’t receiving
them.
More information on email distribution lists and the
acceptable use of them
can be found on our
website .
Facebook – if you are on Facebook and not a “friend” of
Cowtown Vettes, members cannot include you in tags at events; these tags
show your non-club member friends all the fun we are having. Who knows,
maybe some of you are in the witness protection program and
don’t want to be tagged J If you are
posting, be sure to tag Cowtown Vettes so it appears on our Facebook
news feed.

Robert Geyer - Cruiser/Equipment Chair

Hello cruisers,
We are starting a new year and I'm planning for a better than ever
cruiser season. Having said that, I will not be leading any cruises
in January or February due to unpredictable weather. BUT that
doesn't mean I won't be busy as I will be looking at new and
different trips and some popular previous trips too.
I hope to
work closely with our new Vice-President and social Chairperson
Gayle Cherry and extend a well earned thank you to last years VP and
social Chairperson, Mary Pittman.
Now on to a new topic. This will be my 5th year as Cruiser
Chairperson. If you have ever wondered what I do and how it's all
put together this is your opportunity to find out. I am actively
looking for a co-chair to work with me as I plan to give up Cruiser
Chair at the end of 2025.
My tenure as chair has been fun and
rewarding but it's time for another to step up and take over. I'm a
firm believer that we need to replace chair positions with new and
different members in order to keep our club fresh and responsive to
all members. So here's your chance to contribute and help keep our
club fun for all.
That's all for now. Remember I am always interested in your input
on Cruiser destinations.
Your Cruiser Chairperson
Robert Geyer

Hello everyone –
Well, here we are at the end of the year
holidays with Thanksgiving now behind us and everyone getting prepared
for the Christmas season and looking forward to New Years Eve. Where has
the year gone … seems like it has just flown by!
The CTV club has been active this year with all
types of charity activities. At all our membership meetings we had our
50/50 raffles in which we collected $2515 (just through the month of
November).
This goes a long way in reaching our goal to
support The Fisher House and The Warm Place with a $1,000 donation to
each organization at the end of the year. As well as a donation (of the
remainder of the funds) to the American Kidney Foundation.
Also, during 2024 our CTV volunteers were busy
throughout the year. We supported the Don’t Forget to Feed Me
organization with 314 lbs of food and treats and over $400 in donations.
We worked at the Tarrant Area Food Bank in June and November for a total
of 15,982 meals for those in need. Cook Children’s Hospital had a
Christmas in July event as well as our upcoming Christmas event in
December in which our club volunteers work with kids in making crafts
and helping them pick out a toy (and oh how their smiles will warm your
heart).
We as a club will collect Toys for Tots during
our upcoming Christmas Party. And last but not least, the infamous
annual CTV Car Show, which has a reputation for being one of the best in
the area! Working to obtain gifts, door prizes and giveaways is a fun
and busy time but all worthwhile to help in the success of the event.
So, as our year comes to an end, I would like
to say how very proud I have been for serving as Cowtown Vettes Charity
Chairman during 2023 and 2024. But I am ready to give someone else the
opportunities and gratification that this position offers.
My best to everyone during the holidays and
hope that everyone has an enjoyable and relaxing time with family and
friends.
Safe travels to all and a Happy New Year.
Cathy Baker

How Dave Kindig Built...
...the ’53 Corvette Custom
That Won the Ridler Award
|
|
 |
Completely Hand Built - One Piece at a time
 |
|
|
|
Although these cars are art, they must be able to start, stop,
move forward, and back up under their own power. They also must turn and
be driven to the display spot, so being a working car factors into the
judging. The first part of the competition is being chosen as one of the
Great 8 Ridler Finalists, and then the winner is selected from that
exclusive club. For 2024, the winner was this stunning 1953 Corvette,
designed by Dave Kindig and crafted at Kindig-It Design in Salt Lake
City, Utah |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
The drivetrain started with an aluminum, LS-based V-12 from Race
Cast Engineering (RCE) in Australia. It’s capable of close to 1,000
hp but was detuned to a conservative 650 hp. Given the lightweight
nature of the car, that was more than enough power. The rest of the
drivetrain was built around a modified C7 transaxle that had the
torque tube extended and the housing replaced with a thicker and
more structurally-sound version.
"Whether it's creating something that looks like it could have been made
back in the day, or should have been, or even coming up with completely
new concepts never seen before, the goal should always be to raise the
bar.
If we get the chance to do another build like this, we’ll go even
further than we did with the TwelveAir.
It's all about outdoing
ourselves and pushing the limits of what's possible."
We’re sure Don
Ridler would approve of that approach.
In closing I would like to thank everyone for your
articles and support.

Howdy fellow Corvette enthusiasts! I’ve been in the club for going on 3
years, but a lot of you may not know much about me. So let me tell
you a bit about myself…
I was born at Carswell AFB a slew of years ago. Growing up we
moved around a lot (I was not a military brat) but settled back in my
parent’s hometown of Arlington for junior high and high school. I
graduated Martin High School in Arlington and then went to the
University of Texas at Austin on a full athletic ride. I was a
5-time Letterman and a 4-time All American on the track team (800M)
before destroying my knee while preparing for the 1992 US Olympic
Trials. In an instant, my life changed. I pivoted from
athletics to academic studies and graduated a couple of years later.
After graduation I moved back to the DFW metroplex and lived mainly on
the Dallas/Collin County side for 15 years before moving back to
Arlington where I have been for the last 15 years. I have been in
IT my entire professional career and currently work for a wealth
management firm based in Highland Park.
Outside of work my hobbies have centered around pugs (I have been
rescuing with DFW Pug Rescue for 20 years), the Texas Longhorns and
anything I can do with my hands. I am an avid remodeler and have
been doing a major sheetrock off remodel of my entire home for many
years (with many years yet to go). As my friends have said… If it
can be nailed, glued, welded or screwed – I have the tool to do it!
All my life I have had a love affair with cars. I built my first
engine in high school (after blowing one up) and have had experience
racing SCCA, building and competing in off road trucks and tinkering on
any vehicle I have ever owned. I inherited my love for GM cars
from my dad and the Corvette was always a dream. Finally, after
many years of focusing on differing priorities, I purchased my first
Corvette in the fall of 2021 – a 2016 C7 Stingray 3LT convertible with
the special Spice Red package.
I look forward to merging my love affair with my Corvette and my skills
in technology to help take our club website to a new level! Let’s
get 2025 started!

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Claims BONKERS 0–60 Time!
 |
|
|
If you like the 0-60 times,
you’ll love the reported quarter mile times!
|
Chevrolet also announced that the ZTK-equipped
ZR1 runs
the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds at 150 mph! Even the standard ZR1 can
sprint to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and knock down 9.7 seconds in the
quarter. And this was on pump gas and on a non-prepped drag strip
wearing the factory tires. In the 9s right off the showroom floor is a
concept we’re down with!
|
The ZR1’s Top Speed is Bonkers!
|
|
|
“The 2025 Corvette ZR1 yet again exceeded our expectations,” said
Josh Holder, chief engineer, Corvette. “Combined with a top
speed record of 233 mph –
which is unrivaled by any current production car priced under $1
million – the Corvette ZR1 delivers on its mission to provide
customers unrelenting power.”

2024 Car Show is now in the
record books. The weather was perfect with yellow and purple as the
color of the day. We had 96 cars registered. The day started with a
great setup team and then there was a steady stream of cars to be
parked. Next came a moving National Anthem with all standing at
attention, hands over hearts, and everyone quieted. Then the show
became full of life till tear down. The car show team/committee and
workers are the BEST!!! This is a year long endeavor with lots of
meeting, emails, behind the scenes homework, and hard work the day
of.

Thank you to Hulen Mall and Macy’s. I received
lots of good feedback on the new location.
Congratulations to all the Class Winners and
Class Award Winners.
Best of Show Early is a white 1961 C2 owned by
Chris Welsh.
Best of Show Late is a yellow 2016 C7 Wide Body
owned by Doug Harper.
Best Engine went to Barry Ruth with a 1963 C2
red Convertible.
Best Interior went to Randy Hudzik with a 2005
Daytona Sunset Orange convertible.
Best Paint went to Robert Gentry with a gray
1970 C3 convertible.
I want to thank the judges who judged the Best
Engine, Interior, and Paint, Mike Kaiser, Fred Rosette, and Jerry
Lindsey. Jerry headed this sub-committee up and was a huge help. I
thought it would be a great idea to ask past members to judge since
this is CTV’s 50th anniversary. In fact, Fred was the
original car show chairman, and as I remember, created the show as
it remains today.
There are a few 2024 t-shirts available and on
sale for $15.oo (most sizes except for no medium or XL). Donna will
bring to the meeting. Get them while you can.

Happy New
Year!
Calling all Cowtown Vettes Members!
Let's make this NCCC Event season a blast!
I'm thrilled to
be leading the NCCC Events this year, but I can't do it without the
amazing support of our club members! We have four exciting events
planned, so mark your calendars and get ready to join the fun! Whether
you want to compete, volunteer, or just cheer on your fellow members,
there's a way for everyone to be involved.
Here's a
sneak peek at what's in store:
●
Practice
Autocross (March 8th): This
is a perfect opportunity for beginners to get their feet wet or for
experienced drivers to hone their skills. The course will be designed
with plenty of turns and carousels, making it a great chance to learn
the ropes or shake off the winter rust. Plus, this event is a fantastic
way to get involved in NCCC functions beyond driving.
●
5th Annual
Larry & Sylvia Hoaldridge Memorial Event (Autocross) (April 12th &
13th): This two-day event
is a club favorite! Get ready to push your Corvette and your driving
skills to the limit on a challenging course filled with twists and
turns. Even if you're not looking to compete for points, it's a
guaranteed adrenaline rush and a fantastic way to experience the thrill
of your Corvette.
●
13th
Annual Spring Scramble (May 17th & 18th):
This two-day extravaganza features a participant's choice car show,
three funkhanas, and three rallies. It's a fantastic opportunity to
showcase your Corvette, test your skills on a variety of challenges, and
rack up some NCCC points (up to 136 points are possible!). Not familiar
with funkhanas or rallies? No problem! Come out and learn alongside your
fellow club members. You're guaranteed to have a blast and discover new
ways to enjoy your Corvette.
●
Fall
Autocross (September 6th & 7th):
Mark your calendars for another exciting autocross event! This two-day
competition will be similar to the spring event, offering a chance to
race your Corvette and compete for glory.
We rely
on volunteers to make these events a success. We'll need
volunteers to help with timing, staging, starting, corner work, course
setup and teardown, registration, and more. It's a great way to learn
new skills and become more integrated into the club. If you're
interested in lending a hand, please don't hesitate to reach out! You
can participate in the events while also volunteering your time.
I encourage
all Cowtown Vettes members to join us for this exciting season of NCCC
events. It's a fantastic opportunity to bond with fellow Corvette
enthusiasts, share your passion for these incredible cars, and create
some lasting memories. We look forward to seeing you there!
Don't forget
to check out the club website (http://www.cowtownvettes.org)
for more details, flyers and registration to be posted soon!
