Paving the Way

Last week we announced that our “Buy an Acre” campaign for the Motorsports Park had sold out thanks to enthusiasts like you.  That campaign raised over $2.7 million!  Now we are offering yet another challenge!

Our successful fundraising efforts have allowed us to commit to building an Autocross/Skid Pad area, West Road Course and a portion of the East Road Course.  Now we are challenging supporters to complete the paving of the planned East Course.  This section includes a fun and challenging carousel that is .35 miles in length.  To complete it we will need 6,822 tons of asphalt which costs $100 a ton.  With a goal of $682,200, we need your help.

Please help us ‘pave the way’ to add a carousel!  Tons of asphalt are available for sponsorship at $100 a ton. Those sponsoring $15,000 worth (150 tons) will be listed on our donor wall at the Motorsports Park under the "Paving the Way" section. Those sponsoring 250 tons or more ($25,000) will be listed under the "Major Donor" section of the wall. All donors will receive a certificate acknowledging their donation.

Learn more about our project and donate online here.

New Caravan Captain
We are pleased to announce that Charles W. (Chuck) Smith has accepted the position of Captain of the Central Texas Caravan. Chuck is the North Texas Corvette Club NCM Ambassador and has served in several capacities in the NTCC, including a year as the Activities Director. He and his wife Mary are long time residents of Denton, TX and they are twelve year Corvette owners. Chuck is a first time captain but he has put together a caravan committee to explore all the challenges of leading a caravan and to make sure the task is done right.  In addition, he has been coordinating the Central Texas caravan plans with Lake Ellis, the South Texas Caravan captain to make sure all the requirements of a successful caravan could be met before accepting the position. With all his pre-planning, we feel most confident that the Texas caravaners are in good hands. Chuck will have his caravan page up and running in the very near future and hopefully he will receive many offers from volunteers to help with this task he has assumed.

One Acre Club Spotlights

Brent and Marilyn Hicks

Brent and Marilyn Hicks are Lifetime Members of the National Corvette Museum and proud new members of our Two Acre Club. Brent’s parents enjoyed going to the race track and took Brent as a baby, instilling a love of all things racing in him from the beginning. With this love of racing established at such a young age, it was only natural that Brent, with his wife, Marilyn, would delve into the world of Corvettes.

Toby and Susan Moore

Kansas residents Toby and Susan Moore are now proud members of our One Acre Club. Although they live far away, Toby and Susan have visited the Museum several times over the years, including the Museum in Motion: Hendrick Tour in 2011 with Roc Linkov and the 2013 NCM Bash event in April. In addition to their museum membership and event participation, they have also purchased many of our Corvette raffle tickets.
