Master Tool Mfg. Inc. - Bob and Marlys Bitterman
Along with his two sons, Mike and Clint, Bob Bitterman recently took over full ownership of Mater Tool & Manufacturing Inc. in Hiawatha, Iowa. To celebrate this milestone, Bob and his wife Marlys decided to support the Motorsports Park project by becoming members of the One Acre Club. Bob's company had the privilege of contributing to the design and build of dies that produced parts used in the C5 Corvette.
"When I heard about the One Acre Club I thought it would be the perfect tribute to commemorate the purchase of our business and also support a project that promotes the production and price of owning a Corvette."
Bob and Marlys currently own two Corvettes - a 2000 Torch Red Coupe and a 2007 Velocity Yellow Z06 with Museum delivery. Read more about the Bittermans online here.
Gay Robinson
Gay Robinson's first Corvette was a late birthday gift in September of 1975, a new 1976 Corvette just delivered to a Chevrolet dealership. "My husband should have known better, as that gift resulted in me acquiring eight additional Corvettes over the years."
"A few years ago, while sitting in a member meeting at the Museum, Wendell Strode announced plans to purchase land for a motorsports park. I remember thinking, 'Wow, wouldn't it be nice to drive a Corvette as fast as I wanted to go.'" said Gay. "I listened intently, and with every visit since then I went to hear the latest about the project. Three visits to the NCM this year confirmed how important it is to me and everyone involved that we forge ahead. I look forward to every visit to Bowling Green and can only imagine the excitement the Motorsports Park will bring to every visitor."
