Corvette's newest addition

A special drawing will give a limited number of Z06 Fest participants an opportunity to enjoy a “ride-with” in a Z06 – but only pre-registered participants are eligible. Pre-registration closes on Wednesday, July 6. Registration is available online at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/registration/Z06/info.shtml

Steve Wesoloski, newly name GM Road Racing Group Manager, will be joining us at the Z06 Fest. Steve is a key member of the race team engineering staff, and provided the conduit for the transfer of technology in both directions between the street and track vehicles, making the C6 and more specifically the Z06, closely related to the race car.  Now he will be overseeing the whole GM road racing effort.  Steve will present an exciting seminar on Friday morning that focuses on the engineering that went into the development of the new Z06.

Corvette Racing’s Melanie Correll Times the 24-Hours of Le Mans

LE MANS , France - Among the dozens of mechanics, engineers, technicians and drivers who make up Corvette Racing, Melanie Correll stands out. Not because she is the only woman working on the pit stand, but because she brings a unique and essential skill to the team. Correll is a master of the art and science of timing and scoring. Tracking lap times, pit stops and penalties for 50 entries in four different classes for 24 hours nonstop is just another long day and night at the office for Correll. Correll joined Corvette Racing in 2000 as the team's official scorer. She has been on the pit box for every one of the team's 37 victories, including three class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. On June 18-19, she'll record every lap by every car for 24 straight hours without a break. While mechanics catch catnaps between pit stops and drivers get a few tense hours of rest between stints, Correll will be at her station on the pit wall. Correll is easy to spot in the Corvette Racing pits - not because she is a woman, but because her trademark is two shoes of different colors. Since joining Corvette Racing, Correll's race day wardrobe includes one black and one yellow shoe. "That tradition began back in the Buick Motorsports days," she said. "It started as a joke, but the little team I was with won a pole, then won a race, and then won the championship. It became a lucky charm, and I've worn different colored shoes at the track ever since. I do alternate the right and left shoes, however, so they'll wear evenly," she added with a smile.

GM Invites America to be Part of the “GM Family”

For the first time in its history, GM is offering its employee discount to everyone who takes delivery of a new 2005 GM car or truck before July 5, 2005.

With the “GM Employee Discount for Everyone,” prices are prominently displayed on eligible vehicles at participating GM dealerships. Consumers also can confirm the price of a specific vehicle by entering the vehicle’s VIN number at: www.gm.com/employeediscount

The program includes all 2005 GM cars and trucks, except for the Chevrolet Corvette, and is compatible with most other incentives currently available. “Our employees are extremely proud of the company they work for and the products they build,” said Brent Dewar, GM North America vice president of Marketing and Advertising. “In recent months there has been plenty of news about GM, but not enough said about our industry leading product lineup. We want to bring the focus back to what drives our business– great cars and trucks. This program gives everybody a chance to drive the vehicles that we drive and pay the price that we pay.” Visit your local Chevrolet dealer for more information.
