Get Ready for Racing Excitement at Road America

The American Le Mans Series settles in to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin this weekend to race at one of the longest circuits on the ALMS trail, Road America, a 4 mile 14 turn road course with hardly any level ground.

We will be there co-hosting the Chevy Presents Corvette Corral and working in conjunction with the Kettle Moraine Corvette Club. Participants in the corral will have the chance to meet Corvette Racing and production engineers and staff. Registering for the corral will include free tickets for a chance at a ride in the Pace Car, participation in parade laps, a chance to visit the hot pits and participate in the winners circle.

Corvette Racing Faces New Challenges At Road America

Fifty years ago, two events occurred that would forever change the course of road racing in America: Chevrolet introduced the new small-block V-8, and the good citizens of Elkhart Lake, Wis., opened a new road racing circuit in their quiet rural town.

Chevrolet and Road America have been inextricably linked ever since.
The seventh round of the American Le Mans Series simultaneously celebrates the 50th anniversaries of GM's small-block V-8 and Road America. The recent rule changes in the GT1 class will put Corvette Racing to the test as the team aims for its third victory at Road America since 2002. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), whose rules govern the ALMS, has specified that the Corvette C6.Rs carry an additional 25 kilograms (55 pounds) effective at this event. In combination with previously announced performance adjustments that gave its rivals additional horsepower, Corvette Racing will have to raise the bar on the fast Road America circuit to extend its winning streak. Driver Johnny O'Connell, who teamed with Ron Fellows to win a 500-mile enduro at Road America in 2002, knows he'll have a fight on his hands. "If there is a race track where our competitors are going to give us fits, it's Road America," O'Connell said. "Those long straightaways could make life very difficult for us. We saw in Portland that our competitors' ability to pull away on the straights makes it tough for us to take advantage of the C6.R's edge in handling and braking." The Generac 500 at Road America, the seventh round of the 2005 American Le Mans Series, is set for 3 p.m. EDT (2 p.m. local time) on Sunday, August 21. The 2-hour, 45-minute race will be broadcast live on SPEED Channel from 3 to 6 p.m. EDT.

Corvette Stamp Ceremony

A limited number of Corvette Stamp commemorative cachet envelopes postmarked with the new Corvette stamp and cancellation are available while they last in the Corvette Store.

The Museum will host a special ceremony in the Chevrolet Theater on Monday, August 22 at 9:00 a.m. commemorating the new collector stamp set, America on the Move: “Sporty Cars of the 50’s”, featuring the 1953 Corvette as one of five stamps in the set. The actual “first-day-of-release” of the stamp set will take place in Detroit on Saturday, August 20 at the State Fairgrounds Coliseum. This is the same day that the Woodward Dream Cruise begins, and activities kick-off at 9:30 am. All five vehicles represented on the stamps will be on site at the Dream Cruise location. Pre-order your commemorative Corvette Stamp cachet online at: http://store.corvettemuseum.com/detail.aspx?ID=775
