New Sebring HPDE Planned

Sebring is the symbolic start to the ALMS season and is now the newest venue for NCM's High Performance Driving program. This HPDE will have the usual four run groups plus instructor session and a new feature - special touring laps for those with convertibles and/or drivers that don't want to do the full out HPDE. These laps will be special sessions with lead-follow direction to learn the line as well as basic classroom.

Friday evening is a car show, and Saturday includes autocross. Spectators, car show and autocross participants can sign up for rides with the HPDE instructors to get a high speed view of the track.

The event is slated for March 29-30 and the cost for the two-day HPDE is $475 for NCM members and $515 for non-members (and includes a 1-year discounted membership). The Touring Lap option is available for $100 for one 3-session day.

Watch eNews for when registration will go live, but go ahead and bookmark the website and mark your calendar for this new event!

Save on Military Bricks

As the NCM salutes our military, we would like to offer a brick discount to all service men and women.  By ordering through the Corvette Store and entering code MILAPPBRK in the special instructions box on the shipping summary page, all bricks with a military designation on line 3 will receive $25 off regular pricing.

Examples include referencing a military branch, time/location served, rank, etc. These bricks will be placed in the military only section designated with a medium military brick provided by the NCM. Discount good during November only. Shop online here.

Corvette Store Feature

60th Anniversary Corvette Illuminated Windrestrictor. The Windrestrictor can remain in place and looks great with the top up or down. It does not interfere with the top movement, which means there is no need to remove it at all. The very strong and rigid mounting system comes with powder coated stainless steel brackets that do not require drilling or permanent modification. The 3D glass design enables full seat travel. Features real laser engraved Corvette graphics and an elegant illumination system. Prices start at $499.

Corvette Museum Named Best in Bowling Green

In August, readers of the Daily News and the Amplifier were invited to nominate their favorite businesses in more than 100 categories. In September, the top three nominees in each category were then voted on by the readers to determine the best. The National Corvette Museum was again voted the "Best Museum in Bowling Green!"

Sleigh Rides with Santa Registration Open

Sunday, December 9 from 1-3pm guests at the Museum will get a special treat... a ride with Santa in his special 'sleigh'! The updated event features rides with Jolly Old St. Nick in a Corvette around the Museum grounds, holiday music, sweet treats and arts & crafts activities. In addition, the ticket price includes a tour of the Museum.

Tickets can be purchased online here and are $10 for sleigh riders and $5 for non-riders.
