Corvette's newest addition


Corvette Racing Takes It to the Streets in Houston

They've won on road courses from Sebring and Road America to Lime Rock and Le Mans, but Corvette Racing's championship-winning Compuware Corvette C6.Rs have never raced on metropolitan streets.

The inaugural Lone Star Grand Prix, to be contested on Friday night, May 12, on a temporary 1.7-mile course through Houston's Reliant Park, will mark the American Le Mans Series' first street race since a run through Miami Beach in September 2003. The Houston event, the second round of the 10-race ALMS series, is the first of two back-to-back races before the Corvette Racing team sends its yellow Corvettes to France in pursuit of a fifth GT1 title at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. "I'm definitely tuned up after winning the Long Beach street race," Fellows laughed. "It's been several years since we had a street race in the ALMS, and I'm looking forward to a good old-fashioned street fight with the rest of the ALMS gang. I'm excited about going back to Texas because Corvette Racing got its first win at Texas Motor Speedway in 2000.” The Lone Star Grand Prix, the second round of the 10-race 2006 American Le Mans Series, is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. CDT on Friday, May 12. The two-hour, 45-minute race will be televised tape-delayed on Saturday, May 13, at 1 p.m. EDT on CBS Sports. For the complete release click here:

Corvette Surprise

The R8C Museum Delivery Program experience is an unforgettable way to take delivery of a new Corvette, and we are thrilled to be a part of each one.

Every now and then, we have the chance to be a part of a true “surprise” delivery and this week was a great one. Steve Lippens Jr purchased a new Corvette for his father’s 60 th birthday. Steve Lippens Sr. thought he was coming to the Museum to see a friend take delivery of a new Corvette. With dozens of balloons, a birthday cake, happy birthday signs and several people shouting “surprise”, Steven Sr. was given a birthday gift he will never forget – a new Monterey Red Coupe! Taking delivery of a new Corvette at the Museum is an unforgettable experience – no matter what the occasion.
