The Corvette Club of Michigan (CCM) held the first autocross competition in the Michigan Region at the Livonia Fire and Police training facility in Livonia on Sunday May 17th. Over forty entrants keep a constant eye on the ever changing clouds and the course was set up to be fast anticipating bad weather however, in the end we stayed dry and the sun managed to pop out in the afternoon and many (myself included) got a little sunburned. Men’s FTD was Michael Losert (33.5 seconds), Women’s FTD was Mary Wentzel (36.0 seconds), with an average time of about 42 seconds.
The Royal Corvettes of Western Michigan (RCWM) held four rallies in Grand Haven on Saturday May 23rd. The weather was beautiful but it being Memorial Day weekend limited participation to six entrants. The route was not difficult and it took us along Lakeshore drive which is very scenic. In addition to the rallies, the Royals also held a car show in Fruitport on Sunday May 24th. Attendance was much better (it was open to all makes and models) with close to one hundred cars but the weather was worse, with a light rain on and off during the show hours.
