Cruise to Ron's Restorations in Fitchburg, MA–May 17th

On Saturday, May17th, the SSCC will cruise to the famous Ron's Restorations in Fitchburg, MA. Ron Bunnell has more than 40 years of Corvette expertise. Ron has been in the professional restoration business since 1982. His shop has specialized in "Corvettes Only" for the last 20 years and with the existing staff they have over 50 years of combined Corvette experience.showroom
Starting his business with a passion for quality work and a desire to maintain true originality on Corvettes, Ron is committed to continue this attention to detail and workmanship in the years to come.

We will be meeting at the Building 19 parking lot in Weymouth (on Route 18) at 8:00 am. Our first stop will be at Joe's American Bar and Grill on Route 1A in Dedham. This will be a quick "stop and go" to pick up members that live closer to this point. We should arrive at Joe's between 8:45 and 9:00 am. We will then proceed out to Ron's. Upon arriving, Ron will have coffee waiting. We will then get a tour of his facility. After the tour, Ron will be providing a Pizza Lunch for our members.

“Boys & Girls Club” of Marshfield Display and Car Wash Tour

If you liked “The Garage Tour,” you're gonna love the Car Wash Tour!
Have you ever wondered how all that stuff works at the automatic car wash? Well, here's your chance to find out while helping with a worthy cause.
Our meeting location is the Standish Village Plaza on Route 139 Pembroke (on the Marshfield line, next to the Burger King) at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 18th. We will leave at 9:45 and then cruise to the Marshfield Car Wash for a display to benefit the Boys & Girls Club. They need a new defibrillator for their clubhouse.
The club will be given a private walking tour of the new “state of the art” car wash, see what goes on behind the scenes… the tunnel, the computers and all the new technology by owner Paul Vercollone and his son Nick, who is also one of the directors at the Boys & Girls Club. There will be refreshments and a raffle for Red Sox tickets and other items.
At 1:00 p.m. we’ll be cruising to Jim Johnson’s brother’s restaurant, The Lucky Dog, in Pembroke for ice cream and more food if necessary. This will be a fun day!
We would like to have 20-25 cars if possible. Also the SSCC will be advertised on WATD 95.9 for this event.

New Cruise Night Location

The big news at last month's meeting was a change of venue for our summer cruise night. After three years at the Abington Walmart, we moved to the Monponsett Inn. Monday, May 12 was our "Opening Day" and although it was a bit cool, we had no rain. Most of the officers, many members and a number of friends from our old locations were present for the inauguration. Joe Amante deserves a huge thank you for putting this together in record time. And after being at the Monponsett Inn for opening night, everyone was very happy with the location, the facilities and the prospect of a summer in an idyllic location. The parking lot provides a more compact layout making the it easier to mingle with other owners and members. We have more than an adequate number of parking spaces. Another benefit of the layout is the ability to hear the music and announcements. One of the best attractions is the presence of the Inn. It is a wonderful restaurant and bar, with a full menu and very reasonable prices. If you missed us on the 12th, try to get down next Monday.

Welcome new members

We welcomed four new members into the club, Ron McCray, Kenyon Thompson, Ivan Esposito and Bill O'Neil.

Attendance Raffle

If you haven't been to the March or April meetings, we have started a new "Attendance Raffle." The rules are simple. At Every monthly meeting and every Cruise Night, we will draw a name from the complete member roster. If you are present and you have signed in and paid $1.00 you will win the pot. If the name pulled is of a member that is neither present or signed in, the total amount rolls over to the next event. Be sure to show up and sign in. The pot is growing!

Last Month's Trivia Question

Of what significance is the number 6939 in Corvette history?

We have a WINNER!! Steve Bradford correctly answered that there were only 6939 ZR-1s produced from 1990 until 1995. For those who like statistics, 1990 saw 3049 built. In 1991 the number dropped to 2044. 1992 had only 502 ZR-1s built and the three years, 1993-1995 each had 448 ZR-1s hit the road. The last ZR-1, 1995 #448 sits in the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY.
Steve won a beautiful ZR-1 poster for his correct answer. Be sure to check this month's Trivia Question in the sidebar to the right.
