Drive Your Corvette to Work Day
 

Tomorrow, June 24, is the 11th Annual "National Drive Your Corvette to Work Day" sponsored by Mid America Motorworks. This day celebrates the Corvette's birthday, June 30, 1953.

Post photos of your Corvette at your work tomorrow on our Facebook Fan Page and we'll randomly select one lucky participant to receive a $10 Corvette Store gift card! Deadline to post a photo is Monday at 8am CT. Retired? Why not donate your time doing VOLUNTEER work and take a photo of your 'Vette there? Volunteer Match is a great place to find sites that need your help.

Vote for 'Vette!

Vote for your favorite sports car and you could be entered to win a custom calendar from AutoWeek and Rad Rides.

AutoWeek has teamed up with Rad Rides to develop a 2012 calendar. The calendar will include sports cars in the American, European and Asian markets, selected as the most popular based on your votes. The top 12 vehicles will be drawn by artist Brian Supski, to sit side by side with the real vehicle.

By submitting a vote and entering a valid e-mail address, you are entered to win a free calendar. A limited number of copies are available. You will be contacted via e-mail if you are one of the lucky 25 respondents. It's a tight race. Every vote counts. Vote here.

Keeneland Concours d'Elegance
 

If you are looking for another great reason to travel to Kentucky this summer, July 14-17 offers a unique event featuring over a hundred exquisite automobiles on the historic grounds of Keeneland Race Course.

Now in it's 8th year, the featured automobile is Italy's Alfa Romeo, surrounded by dozens of rare Italian automobiles. The 2006 show featured Corvettes and displayed five rare Corvette concepts.

A show within a show is the Car Club Paddock where clubs participate in a friendly feud to have their club name inscribed on a trophy (displayed at the Ky Children's Hospital) for the greatest donations to the Hospital during the show. Corvettes have won the trophy in 2006 and 2008. Access to the Paddock for clubs is the same as general admission, a $15 donation.

This is a jam-packed weekend! Why not plan a visit to Keeneland AND Corvette Homecoming... and be sure to swing by the Museum and see us!
