Corvette's newest addition

Congratulations to David Thomas of Lake Worth, Florida – ticket number 341. David was not present at the banquet, but was contacted immediately following the drawing. Corvette Chief Engineer, Dave Hill drew the winning ticket and made the call which he put on a speaker phone, enabling the entire group of event participants to share in the excitement. “I just had a feeling I was going to win,” David excitedly told us. “My wife and I were at dinner and I just felt that it was going to happen. When my cell phone rang and the window said Bowling Green, Kentucky, I just knew it! I am so happy and thrilled to be a Corvette owner!” David wasted no time in picking up his new Corvette and was at the Museum yesterday to take delivery. A VIP tour of the Corvette Plant, Museum and a hands-on demonstration by a delivery team member was just a part of the exciting experience. David has purchased tickets on many of our raffles over the past few years, and looks forward to becoming a part of the Corvette family. Your next chance to win is coming up as part of our Labor Day Weekend Corvette Celebration when we will draw the winners of the Velocity Yellow Convertible and the 2006 Red Coupe. Tickets are still available and you can order them online at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/raffle/index.shtml

Corvette Racing Kicks off Second Half Of ALMS Season in Portland

With five races down and five races to go, this weekend's American Le Mans Portland Grand Prix marks the start of the second half of the 10-race ALMS season for Corvette Racing.

Recent rule revisions will affect GM's factory team in upcoming events as the playing field tilts at Portland International Raceway. After a string of 1-2 finishes by Corvette Racing's new Compuware C6.R race cars, competitors in the GT1 class were granted performance enhancements ranging from larger intake restrictors to wider rear wings. Although the new regulations took effect at the preceding round at Infineon Raceway, their impact will become apparent on PIR's long straights and sweeping curves. "The competition adjustments should provide a significant advantage to our competitors at Portland because of the high-speed nature of the race track," said Corvette Racing program manager, Doug Fehan. "The effects of additional power were masked somewhat at Infineon Raceway because that track puts a premium on handling. Our rivals have now had time to work on their engine calibrations, and I expect they will have 50 to 60 more horsepower.” The Portland Grand Prix is set for July 28-30 at Portland International Raceway. The race will be broadcast live on SPEED Channel from 8 to 11 p.m. EDT on July 30, the first time an ALMS race has been televised in prime time.
