Wayne and PJ Ray Join One Acre Club

Founding Members Wayne and Pat Ray (PJ), first got the Corvette bug back in 1983 when a Marina Blue 67 convertible caught Wayne�s eye in a car lot. �It was like it reached out and grabbed me,� Wayne says. Since then, they�ve been great supporters of all things Corvette, joining the Classic Glass Corvette Club, the National Corvette Museum, NCRS, NCCC, NCOA, ISCA, and CCA; restoring old Vettes and buying new Vettes along the way. As Corvette Addicts (by their own admission) they couldn�t resist joining the One Acre Club as well.

�We�ve volunteered for years at the Petit Le Mans.� Wayne says. �We love racing and while we don�t race, we like going fast,� he laughs. �The Motorsports Park is going to be perfect for that and when we get the park running, that will be good for the Museum too. By buying an acre I feel like I �own� a race track now!�

�The car brings all of the wonderful people together,� PJ adds. �And just like in the movie �Field of Dreams� one thing is for sure about the Motorsports Park � if we build it, they will come.�

Today, we just finished closing on a 20 acre parcel that is part of the 184 acres for the initial development of the Motorsports Park. Thanks to everyone who has joined our One Acre Club thus far!

$10 Can Win You A Corvette!

Congrats to Lee Cleveland of West Concord, MN with winning ticket number 756 in today's raffle for a 2012 Cyber Gray Z06 Corvette! We sold 1062 of the 1500 available tickets.

Next week you have TWO chances to win! On Friday, April 27 at 2:10pm we draw a winner for our 2012 Carlisle Blue Grand Sport Convertible. The car was a GM show car and has approximately 1,000 miles on it and is VIN 049. It features the 4LT package and two-tone cashmere/black leather interior. It also has the Grand Sport Heritage Package with white stripes, and has a special stripe on the hood, not available on other cars. This raffle not only includes a car, but also the chance to participate in a two-day driving school at Bondurant or Spring Mountain. Tickets are $300 each and the raffle is limited to 500 tickets.

Then on Saturday, April 28 at 4pm CT we raffle a 2012 Torch Red Convertible Corvette. Tickets for this awesome ride are only $10 each. Please get your orders in early as we will cut off website and phone sales well before the 4pm drawing.

KidZone Coming This Fall

After much planning and anticipation, the Corvette KidZone will finally be a reality!

We received approval from the Bowling Green Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Warren County Fiscal Court and Bowling Green City Commission to receive $40,000 from the Special Tourism Projects Fund (transient room tax money) to fund a portion of the new space. This means every one of you who has visited Bowling Green lately and stayed in a hotel contributed to this project!

Additionally, our friend and Corvette enthusiast, Eugene Nagowski, donated funds to purchase a "Super Service Center" which will be named for his late wife, Pat.

Please continue to watch eNews as we provide more updates and information on the plans for this project and ways which you can get involved!
