Recently had a conversation with Sam Mahdavi at Mahdavi Motor Sports in Lilburn.

He recommends that anyone owning a C5 Corvette, if not already replaced, to purchase a spare Steering Wheel Position Sensor. He said that GM is no longer manufacturing this item and it is a high failure item in higher mileage and now, as they age, older C5 Corvettes. The part can be had from many online retailers for under $100.

I purchased mine on Ebay for my 2003 C5. --> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-C5-Corvette-Genuine-GM-Steering-Wheel-...|Model%3ACorvette&hash=item1ea4bb6c0f:g:ZeQAAOSwHjNWBY--&vxp=mtr

To all of you who have registered for the Tate House Cruise with Lunch at the Woodbridge Inn afterwards, I have received a request from the Hostess at Woodbridge Inn.

Being that we have 53 people for lunch she is concerned that everyone ordering from the menu could cause a delay in service from their kitchen. Because she would like everyones experience to be the best possible she has provided a menu that we can select from assuring us of the best possible service experience. Having the menu information in advance will aid them in preparing for our arrival.

Please note a lack of response will mean they will not have any information about your lunch request. So please respond ASAP so we can assure ourselves of the best luncheon they can provide.

I need to know from each you who are going to join us for lunch and what is your selection. Please respond to this email with the selection for all in your party by name. If there are some people who have special dietary requirements outside of the proposed menu, I will see what can be done to accommodate your needs.

In his final column for Motorsport.com this year, Jan Magnussen looks back on his GTLM season of highs and lows – and forward to son Kevin’s Porsche LMP1 test.
The 2015 season has come to an end but there is really no such thing as an off-season any more.

We had the first test with the updated version of the Corvette C7.R last week at Sebring and things went pretty well. It’s quite a bit different than last year’s car, but I think everybody was pretty happy with it.

The new technical regulations for 2015 will make the GTLM cars faster with extra horsepower but mainly more downforce. So it is going to be interesting to see how the balance between the GTLM and the GTD cars works out next year.

The GT3 cars that are coming in to the GTD class, all of those are pretty fast and they have a lot of horsepower, so I think we’ll be quick in different areas.

They’ll be fast down the straights and we’ll be fast in the corners. I don’t know how much of a difference it’s going to make.

Looking forward to added competition
