The Corvette Club of America likes to be involved from the beginning of anything to do with Corvette. With their first meeting taking place on July 17, 1956, they proudly lay claim to the title of being the world’s first and oldest Corvette club. They are also among the founders of the National Council of Corvette Clubs, and are registered as club # ER-001. A proud supporter of the National Corvette Museum, they wanted to be associated with the NCM Motorsports Park even before ground was broken.

 “Our club was founded by members who liked to race,” says NCM Lifetime Member Jon Thorn, “and we still have a lot of members that are very active in High Performance Driving events and autocross. Given our history and devotion to the NCM, we felt that this was a contribution that we needed to make. We believe in it.”

With the CCA supporting a number of charities throughout the year,  it was important for them to find a way to come up with their One Acre Club contribution all at once without touching the treasury. “That’s when Art Bell and I decided to get together and propose a matching fund to go along with the club member contributions.” The money came together quickly and on Tuesday, November 27th, 2012, a contingent of CCA members came to present the check.

Special thanks to Jon, Art and the members of the Corvette Club of America for finding yet another way to support the NCM Motorsports Park. You are helping to pave the way to another exciting chapter in Corvette history.

In November, the NCM Insurance Agency accepted Corvette photo submissions from their customers for use in their 2013 calendar. While submissions have closed, you can vote on who you think should be featured each month!

Voting is open now through December 16 for the January and February featured cars. To vote, you must have a Facebook account, which is free. Vote online here.

The “1-Lap of Kentucky” tours are popular events that quickly sell out to Corvette adventurers who like chasing a State Trooper while helping two good causes. As a part of the Museum in Motion program, the 1-Lap tour raises money for both the Museum and Trooper Island, a Kentucky State Police non-profit camp for underprivileged children. “This is our third year of doing the Corvette Tour” said retired KSP Sgt. Craig Sutton, who is the tour leader and former Director of Trooper Island. “Each year we have visited a different part of the state. We’re proud of our state and enjoy showing it off to visitors.”

Previous tours have visited the Land Between the Lakes and Owensboro, the Bourbon Trail and Horse Country, and most recently explored eastern Kentucky for a trip through the mining camps, Trooper Island and the Kentucky Artisan Center in Berea. “We’re planning three tours next year,” says Events Manager Roc Linkov. “From this unique partnership we get to have a meaningful and fun event that provides underprivileged children with a fun and meaningful event of their own. That is a great thing.”

Roc Linkov presents a check for $11,000 to Commissioner Rodney Brewer as Sgt. Craig Sutton presents Museum Executive Director Wendell Strode and Events Associate Karen Renfrow with a plaque from the KSP in honor of the NCM's participation in this worthwhile effort.
