100 Million Small Blocks

Hi all!

I just got a quick email from the Corvette Action Center letting me know that GM has built its 100-millionth small block engine!  It's been 56 years since the first small block was built, and the powerplant is still going strong.

By the way, can you guess what the 100-millionth engine is?  A Corvette ZR1 LS9!

BCCC Banquet 2011

Well, I tried to embed the Flickr slideshow for this year's banquet, but I guess I'm not as tech savvy as I thought!  Instead you'll have to click on the photo to get to the show.

The banquet was fantastic again this year, held again in the fabulous Redwoods venue.  The food was great, as was the wine!  Even the company was pretty good.  I was sitting next to Blair, so my expectations were not so high.

Oh, that was mean!  Of course I am only joking!  I can't insult Blair, especially not after he helped me move all 30,000 pieces of my new 'vette into my garage!

And, of course, we got to see a bit of the game were the Lions blew out the Alouettes something like 43-1!  Go Lions Go!

Next year I just hope more people decide to participate.  You are definitely missing out if you don't!
