The day started a little fresh, but with the sun shining and blue skies ahead the early start was easy, driving down to OTR at Bolivar. This was the meeting point for 11 other Corvette owners that were ready for some highway cruising and something a little different to other club runs, involving the Sporting Car Club of SA. The route was set through Tanunda for a pickup of one of our regional members and then on to Angaston and Collingrove Hill climb in the Barossa Valley for a variety of Motorsport viewing including some track time experience for those who participated. That all too familiar Chevrolet noise was happening just as we arrived with our new club president Sean warming up the C4 affectionately known as the Black Bitch for a climb by making lots of free revving noise, burning rubber in the pits and letting all the club members know he meant business. It was by far the best sounding car in the field and made the rabbits shake in their burrows.
Lunch time provided some courageous members track time to experience the drivers views on the circuit and I’m sure all participants enjoyed this opportunity to warm up those tyres and run their Vette’s through a narrow winding course to the top of the hill in their record times.
Thank you to all members that turned up and made the effort for a good showing by our club to support Kirsty and Sean on the day.
