Corvette Grand Sport Registry Commits to NCM Motorsports Park's One Acre Club
 

Grand Sport RegistryMonday, November 30th, 2009, John “Hutch” Hutchinson, the “Skunkmaster” of the Corvette Grand Sport Registry, presented the National Corvette Museum with initial checks totaling over $4,000 and a pledge of $15,000 to purchase an acre of land at the Motorsports Park.

It was only early October when the GSR chose to enter into this campaign and make the pledge to raise the necessary funds for the One Acre Club. “As a Lifetime Club Member of the NCM, the GSR has long been an active supporter of the Museum and the ideals it represents,” said Hutch. “It’s quite a task for a relatively small organization as ours, but we ‘Stinkers’ are excited to take on this new challenge. Our members recognize the importance and future benefit of the Motorsports Park to all Corvette owners, and are proud to take part in making this dream become a reality. We challenge other clubs and registries to follow our lead.”

The Grand Sport Registry is comprised of nearly 400 members, with membership open to all Corvette enthusiasts. Grand Sport ownership is not required. Learn more about their organization at http://www.grandsportregistry.com.
