Corvette Racing Aims for GT1 Victory Record at Lime Rock
On July 1, they'll be racing on Lime Rock Park's roller coaster 1.54-mile track nestled in Connecticut's Litchfield Hills. The transition from the longest track on the schedule to the shortest requires not only a change of equipment but also a change of attitude. "Going from Le Mans to Lime Rock is like going from a super speedway to a bullring," said Ron Fellows, who will share the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R with Johnny O'Connell. "It's a cool track, and I have always enjoyed racing at Lime Rock." It takes more than a change of decals to prepare the Corvettes for the Lime Rock round. Both cars must be completely refreshed and rebuilt after racing twice around the clock in the world's greatest - and most grueling - sports car race. The two-hour, 45-minute New England Grand Prix, the fourth round of the 10-race 2006 American Le Mans Series, is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. EDT on Saturday, July 1. The race will be televised tape-delayed on CBS Sports on Sunday, July 2, starting at 4 p.m. EDT.

Jack has named the Museum in his will as the recipient of his 1990 ZR-1 upon his passing. “I love my Corvette, and I want the Museum to have it to share with others,” Jack told us. “I couldn’t imagine a better place to leave something that I care for so much.” We appreciate the generosity of the many Corvette enthusiasts who have made arrangements to make the Museum a recipient of their Corvette and memorabilia in their long-term planning.
