His current projects include 2 C7 Race Corvette builds. Dan said that he was pretty much self sufficient and does most of the work in house. <br />
<br />
Dan presented finer points of these C7 Race Corvette builds. <br />
<br />
Dan's plan for 2015 is to 'make it work'. His strategy is check it again and again, and again, and again, and .....<br />

<strong>About the Cafe Cortina</strong><br />
<br />
Located in an Italian countryside vineyard setting. In its nearly four decade long history, Café Cortina has consistently strived to be more than just a restaurant. Founded on the site of a former apple orchard in 1976 by the Tonon family, Café Cortina started out as a “best kept secret” restaurant that has turned into a foodie destination. Passion for people, 'true' Italian flavors, genuine hospitality, and an inspired philosophy of making a positive difference in their local community and beyond is what drives all at Cafe Cortina each and every day. <br />

Just looking at these 2 Corvettes the judges had a tough call to make. <br />

<br />
Tuesday was our annual dinner cruise to Bullfrog's. Bullfrog's "The best legs in Ortonville"<br />
<br />
We cruised with 25 to 30 Corvettes. Bullfrogs reserved the front row for us to park our Corvettes and the Patio for us to dine.<br />
<br />
Some Members consider this dinner cruise the highlight of the Summer Social Season.<br />

<br />
Their marque was the Grey Goose. They applied the Goose to hood ornaments, radiator caps, tail lamps, bumper details....<br />

The Company was the first to use molybdenum in castings and other advanced materials.<br />
<br />
The owner would stop production whenever he had a better idea, an improvement or a new feature leading to the Company folding in 1926.<br />

<br />
June 14, 2014 was the <strong>10th anniversary Corvette Fest</strong> Show at Canturbury Village. This is the GMC Corvette Set's Annual Corvette Show to raise money for our Charity of choice,<strong> Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester</strong> MI. <strong>Wally Edgar Chevrolet</strong> and <strong>Canterbury Village</strong> are the major Sponsors that make Corvette Fest possible. We also appreciate the <strong>many Corvette Owners</strong> that entered their Corvette into the Show. We know that many of you toiled into the night preparing and detailing your Corvette.<br />
<br />
Fox 2 News interviewed some of our Members, earlier in the week, starting the fun and excitement of Corvette Fest. <a href="http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/clip/10251330/corvette-fest-in-lake-orion-" target="_blank">Please follow this link to see the Fox 2 Article.</a><br />
<br />
The weather was perfect on June 14, 2014. There were over 80 registered Corvettes as well as approximately 50 Member Cars on display. The Registered Corvette Owners competed for 'First Place' and several 'Outstanding' awards in one of 15 Classes. In turn, the Corvette Owners examined the Member's Corvettes and voted for the 'Participant's Choice' Awards. The GMC Corvette Set is a Charter Member of the September Motor City Corvette Concours Show (MCCC); accordingly, we nominated several Corvettes for the MCCC consideration for the 'Best of the Best Competition'.<br />
<br />
As usual, the Corvette Fest judging is fair and intense. The judges pride themselves in noticing any smudge or speck of dirt. This year they had to ask 2 of the participants to 'Please open your glove boxs.' in an effort to seperate the First Place Corvette from an Outstanding Corvette in that class.<br />
<br />
The Corvette Fest Silent Auction was a resounding success. The Donors were generous and the bidding was spirited.<br />
<br />
New to Corvette Fest was <strong>Diane's Face Painting</strong> tent. She painted the faces of children young and old from early morning to late afternoon. We overheard a man say to his daughters 'Okay you can have your faces painted and then I want to look at the Corvettes'.<br />
<br />
Joe Johnson of Orion Neighbourhood Television was at Corvette Fest and prepared this documentary. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EENGqQhhwaY&feature=em-" target="_blank">ONTV Documentary</a><br />
<br />
This is an overall video of the 2014 Corvette Fest. The video includes snips of the Face Painting, the Corvette Fest Band, Judging, Silent Auction, the Action at the Club Tent and the Awards Ceremony.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: red;">Mark your calendar! Next years Corvette Fest is June 13, 2015.</span></strong> </span><br />
<br />
We hope to see you there. You will be able to pre Register for the 2015 Corvette Fest late February to early March 2015.<br />
