The historic road course in Elkhart Lake, Wis., is a favorite of Corvette Racing's drivers and crew. Ask Corvette Racing driver Ron Fellows for his thoughts on the 4.0-mile circuit and you'll get an immediate answer: "I absolutely love the place!" "It's great fun to drive," Fellows explained. "It's got long straights and slow corners that lead to faster corners. When your car is working well, it is an absolute treat to drive there. We'll hit more than 170 mph in the Corvette C6.R, the fastest top speed that we see on any race track in North America. The kink on the back straight is the most exciting corner on Earth."

Each time an eBay seller lists an item for sale, they can choose to donate a percentage of their sale to a non-profit foundation through the MissionFish pop-up window. The process is easy, and the seller only needs to register through MissionFish once to begin donating a select portion of the proceeds from each item sold. The item for sale will appear with an eBay Giving Works icon along with the percentage being donated to the non-profit of their choice. The seller gets a tax deductible donation for the amount that goes to the charity. Some sellers report 20-40% higher sale prices when they sell with eBay Giving Works. We are excited about this opportunity and encourage you to consider the Museum when using eBay to sell your items.
