Callaway of the Month - January 2004 belongs to a very powerful B2K - Check it out here : January Callaway Of The Month

In addition to the January "COTM", the site has also been updated to include a few new things...

The first thing you will notice is, a fresh new look for 2004 :eek
Callaway Owners Group webpage
The new look you see at the top will remain, based upon feedback generated by you - the Owners & Enthusiasts.

There are a couple more designs being tossed around and by no means is this absolutely the final design, just a fresh idea
If you have a sketch you would like to submit, please drop a note to the address on the website.

The Gallery also holds some new images in the "COTM" archives...
Both the May COTM and Nov/Dec COTM have new images, check them out.

Also updated, are production numbers and the model center - There is some good reading to be found in those sections.

As always, keep the threads coming – A lot of GREAT information is exchanged here on a daily basis – Without everyone here, it would not be the success that it continues to be

Hope you enjoy the site as much as I do - Happy Holidays

Chris,

Thanks for your enthusiasm and leadership. This forum has been a tremendous step forward and my Thanks to you for moderating, and CAC for hosting it.

I remember a couple of years ago it seemed as though we were 2nd class citizens in the ZR-1 section of Corvette Forum and hearing them whine about us trying to muscle in on their domain.

Now we have almost the best resource short of Callaway employees themselves participating here (rather than lurking :TALK - OK, I'm being presumptuous), and perhaps that might really happen someday.

The reality is that these cars are powerfull, sexy, and exotic and we must all work together to keep them and the brand name alive. Thanks to everyone for participating and most of all enjoy your rides and keep it safe.

Best wishes and hopes for an even more sucessfull 2004!

;worship

Your friend,

Luigi

Thank you both, for the feedback! Luigi, yes- The place sure has changed since we got our own forum and it has only gotten better (expanded) from there

I will be adding more B2K information over the next few months with more features coming.

If there is something YOU are looking for out of the site, please suggest it - Enjoy

Chris,

Thanks for all of your hard work and un-ending enthusiasm for all things Callaway (well, all automotive things, anyway). Great job!

I just looked over the new look site and feel a little disadvantaged, though. There is not much mention of the Supernaturals or the ZR1/CR1 conversions. We need a little respect too...

I have the original invoice for what I think is the first CR1 produced and could copy/send that along to you. I think I have some dyno sheets from Callaway on that first conversion, too. To my knowledge, there were 19 of these produced over the years, but I have no idea when that period was.

I also think it would be interesting to have some more details on the pushrod Supernaturals, too. Callaway probably had one of those "continuous upgrade" custom build programs in place, so it might be difficult to categorize what was done and when it went into "production".

Again, you are doing a great job and have a Happy New Year! You might just force me to drive over to Scottsdale late in January.

Steve

Steve, Thanks for the positive input

I did add a little bit on the Spernaturals but I agree, we need more - I would like to catch up with you in Scottsdale and take a look at what you have - I understand, it is only a 5 hr drive for you, Nice!!!
Here is a link to what we have so far... SuperNatural Model Center Take a look at p.4
(that was stuff sent to me in late 1992 - like you said, evolutions were made...

Thanks again Steve, Happy New Year!!!!!:bar
