Among those seeking elite-level gloss and paint protection, the product of choice is often Gtechniq.

Their family of products has been shown to produce a long-lasting protective coating for automotive, marine, and bicycle applications. Their high-tech nano coating provides a sacrificial layer that resists scuffs, minor scratches, dirt, road grime, and UV light.

However, it's the jaw-dropping shine and deep luster that turns heads and brings home top-tier trophies. But how much do you know about the company or its ceramic coating lines? 

Equipped with our ten best questions, we went searching for answers. Fortunately, Nathan Schutter, Head of Marketing for Gtechniq, North America, sat down with us to shed light on this 23-year-old British company and its array of proven products. 

The 1963 Grand Sport is the stuff of legend among the Corvette faithful.

The year was 1962, and Corvette's Chief Engineer, Zora Arkus-Duntov, was tired of losing. Chevrolet had been getting its backside kicked by Carroll Shelby and his Ford Cobras on road courses.

At this point, Zora had enough, so he began secretly developing a lightweight race car to win the upcoming Sebring and Le Mans events. But Chevy's boardroom got wind of it and quickly put the kibosh to production.

Fortunately, five of the Grand Sports were already completed and out the door before the project shutdown order was given. In the hands of renowned drivers like Roger Penske and Jim Hall, these five special Grand Sports dominated the competition from 1963 to 1967.

Fast-forward to today, and these historic track cars easily fetch high seven figures when they come to market. So, what do you do if you want to experience this legendary track beast?

This is where Superformance and its American distributor, Downforce Motorsports, enter the story. Superformance produces a complete rolling chassis replica of the much-sought-after 1963 Grand Sport.

Needless to say, we were excited to talk with Dan Long, owner of Downforce Motorsports, to learn more about the famous Corvette and his other replica offerings. 

They say all roads lead to the National Corvette Museum.

That's especially true this August 29th - 31st, 2024, during the 30th Anniversary Caravan to Bowling Green. Every five years, the fiberglass faithful trek to the Museum from the four corners of the country and beyond.

Organizing a national caravan with thousands of cars takes an experienced leader with proven skills. Fortunately, we have Frank Sancineto helming the project along with a cadre of time-tested state captains.

In this podcast episode, we converse with Frank about being the National Chair, the importance of the state captains, and what to expect from the 2024 caravan. 

Do you want to be a hero at your next Corvette meeting?

How might you ask? Invariably, sometime during your next meeting, someone will ask, "Does anyone have any suggestions for a club activity?"

Raise your hand and suggest catching a game at the nearby minor league baseball stadium. If you're in Atlanta, the Gwinnett Stripers at Coolray Field is the obvious choice. 

If you've never seen a game at Coolray Field, then you're definitely missing out. The Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers play an exciting brand of baseball that is sure to entertain.

To learn more, we asked Dave Lezotte, the Voice of the Gwinnett Stripers, to share his insights into the team, his career, and what it takes to be a broadcast announcer.

It's hard to imagine someone in the automotive hobby not knowing of Sam Mahdavi and his popular Sam's Garage Show on MotorTrend TV.

Sure, you've heard about the National Council of Corvette Clubs, but how much do you really know about the group?

For instance, did you know this is an all-volunteer organization? Or that they are a non-profit formed in 1959 by a small group of Corvette enthusiasts?

Today, the NCCC has 250 clubs divided into 16 regions covering the country. All told, they have more than 19,000 members and are considered by many to be the largest non-profit, all-volunteer Corvette organization in the United States.

Deb Murphy, the newly elected President, shares her considerable insights in this episode to tell us more about this venerable organization.

Does the name Greg Wyatt and Vintage Corvettes ring a bell?

It definitely would if you've ever searched for a first or second-generation Corvette to add to your collection.

For over 40 years, Greg Wyatt has meticulously restored and sold top-quality '50s and '60s era models of America's Sports Car.

When we heard he opened a museum at 10601 Commerce St, in downtown Summerville, Ga, we knew it was time for a road trip.

What we found was a jaw-dropping museum dedicated to early model Corvettes, complete with authentic signs and memorabilia. Believe us when we say he has left no stone unturned in the pursuit of a proper tribute to the golden age.

We sit down with Greg and discuss his 40-plus-year-old Vintage Corvette business, this shiny new museum, and his thoughts on the latest C8 generation.

Some in professional racing circles will quietly tell you Lyn St. James had a career that cannot be replicated today. Granted, Lyn came to racing later in life, and yes, her background was in business, not auto sports.

And further still, she was a woman in a racing era that saw scant few women break the glass ceiling to compete at the top levels.

Yes, on paper, there was little to point to a Hall of Fame career when she first emerged on the scene.

What they couldn't see on paper was Lyn's desire, tenacity, and skill behind the wheel. But they would eventually come to see, admire and respect these attributes.

We were fortunate to talk with Lyn recently and deeply dive into her inspiring career.
