NCM Bash Registration OPEN!

The NCM 2014 on-site event season kicks off April 24-26 with our "Bash" event. This is your chance to see the latest model Corvette up close and personal (2015 Z06 anyone?) and get to hear seminars from the team that made it happen. Additional activities include seminars, road tours, car shows, a Ladies' Oasis, Garage Party, golf outing and more. New for 2014 is a "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" road tour with photo op of your Vette in front of an F-111 Fighter Jet, Geocaching Boot Camp, Bingo, Photo Poker Run, Stingray Electronics Seminar and more.

Registration is now live... be sure to sign up before some of our activities with limited space fill up! Check out the complete agenda online here.

As an add on to Bash we will once again offer the 3-day Tail of the Dragon Run, complete with Biltmore photo op and tour and much more. Registration is now live online here.

Helmintollers Donate Z06

The NCM Motorsports Park continues to gain traction, and not just with regard to the construction, rentals and overall interest. The Museum has now received a third track-worthy Corvette donation in just over a week!

“The track... wow. This car is perfect for that. It’s nearly a full blown race car,” said Kevin Helmintoller of Land O’ Lakes, Florida about his 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06. “I really wasn’t using this car very much... and if I were to sell it, someone would just tear it up. If it were to run on the NCM track it would be all good.”

“We donated this car to the Museum to help with the continued growth, but also think she could be a good vehicle for training other drivers at the new Motorsports Park, and to give some 9/10ths passenger rides.” Kevin added that donating her also makes him feel like the car will still be a part of him.

Kevin and Linda are Lifetime Members of the Museum and have participated in several R8C Museum Deliveries, including a 2008 delivery of a 2009 ZR1 - one of eight Corvettes they have owned.

Read more about the car on our blog online here.

Chevrolet Teases New 2015 Z06 Corvette

Chevrolet will introduce the 2015 Corvette Z06 next month at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It will be the most track-capable Corvette ever, designed to deliver supercar levels of performance through unique powertrain, chassis and aerodynamic features.

Corvette outsold its closest competitor, the Porsche 911, for the first 11 months of 2013. This is all the more remarkable given Corvette production was halted for six months as the Bowling Green, Ky., assembly plant prepared to build the 2014 Corvette Stingray. In November, Corvette sales jumped 229 percent year-over-year, as demand for the new Stingray continues to outstrip supply.
