YOU NEED TO CHECK WITH THE EVENT Organizers BEFORE you head to the event, for the foreseeable future, as to whether or not the event you want to attend is still going to happen.

Be SAFE and let’s be nice to each other, as this will pass, so we can get back to having fun with cars!

“ Ya Gotta know where to Go….The FUN Starts Here….”

you need to know what's going on...

This is the craziest

cruise-in and other gearhead event info, but it will include CANCELLED or RE-SCHEDULED events as well as those that may still be taking place. Never before have we had to publish info like this. We are hoping this doesn't last long...we all need our gearhead fun.

issue I have ever published….

Little did I know when I wrote last weeks column, that we would be where we are at today. I am not going to get into politics', you can do that on your own, but our country and our lives are experiencing major change and upheaval right now.

I feel strongly about this as you need to know what's going on.

To all the show, cruise and event organizers and promoters...keep us informed as early as possible. We will share the info you send us.

Event is on or Event is cancelled or re-scheduled, we will help get the word out for you.

First and foremost, please take care of yourselves. Don’t put yourself or your family into a bad position with this virus. Secondly, let’s all BE KIND to one another! Life is a whole lot easier when we are kind to one another. Being upset and mad at each other doesn't make anything better.

In thinking about what our country is going through right now, I know we will come out of this crisis just as we have every other major challenge our nation has been faced with….better than we were before. It may not seem like it right at this minute, but we will. Yes I look at it optimistically….why not..it’s more fun this way.

Back to this issue being the craziest we have ever published.

Our mission first and foremost has been to share car show, cruise-in and gearhead type event info with you. As we say around here, “Ya Gotta Know Where To Go To Have Fun!” Week in and week out we strive to do that to make sur you can have gearhead fun.

Now...go drive your cool car and smile that smile...you will feel better...it’s THROTTLE THERAPY Live It Fully Everyday

Jimmy B.

This week and in the coming weeks we will continue to publish car show,

“the fun starts here”….

First Hardtop Convertible in Corvette History The mid engine 2020 Corvette Stingray was made first and foremost as a convertible. The convertible maintains the tunnel dominant structure and use of high integrity die cast parts found in the Stingray coupe. The team engineered the hardtop to stow seamlessly into the body, maintaining the Stingray’s impressive ability to store two sets of golf clubs in the trunk even with the top down. The convertible also keeps the coupe’s front storage compartment, which can fit an airline spec carry on and a laptop bag.

The hardtop provides a quieter cabin, increased security and a cleaner look compared to the previous soft-top designs. Like the coupe, the Stingray convertible’s design was inspired by fighter jets. The tonneau cover features aerodynamically shaped nacelles influenced by the housing used for jet engines. The nacelles, which were also used as inspiration on the Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle (CERV) I and II, as well as the Corvette SS and SR2 concepts, help reduce air recirculation into the cabin and provide a remarkably exotic profile with the top up or down.

The tonneau also provides a rear power adjustable window and a vent for mid engine cooling. The two piece top can be activated at speeds up to 30 mph and retract in as few as 16 seconds. It is powered by six electric motors a Corvette first and uses encoders for precise control. Switching to electric motors from hydraulic systems helps increase reliability. A body colored roof is standard, while Carbon Flash metallic painted nacelles and roof are optional.

Careful attention was paid to make sure the engine could breathe when stored underneath the tonneau cover. The sheet molded composite top stows in a compartment made from lightweight composite panels and heat shields to manage heat from the engine. Like the Stingray coupe, the convertible is powered by the next generation 6.2L Small Block V 8 LT2 engine, the only naturally aspirated V 8 in the segment. It will produce 495 horsepower (369 kW) and 470 lb ft (637 Nm) of torque when equipped with performance exhaust the most horsepower and torque for any entry Corvette.
