The No. 3 Compuware Corvette of Ron Fellows, Johnny O'Connell and Max Papis retired after 357 laps and was credited with a sixth-place finish in the GT1 division. "Now we have won the big Le Mans and the small Le Mans in one year!" said Beretta, who scored his 23rd career ALMS victory. "Olly and Jan are fast and clever teammates; they know when to push and when it is time to save the car. The Corvette C6.R has shown it's the car to have in GT1. This race was quite hard because of the traffic, but we didn't have contact once today. At the end I was just taking care of the car."

R8C Museum Deliveries for October The Museum Delivery team is doing an outstanding job of taking care of the many Museum Delivery participants coming in each day. Approximately 133 Museum deliveries are scheduled for the month of October and of this number, 40 are deliveries of a new Z06. With the late arrival of the Z06 model, many of these deliveries are carefully being added into the regular delivery schedule that is already breaking the October record! We look forward to welcoming these new Corvette owners and their family and friends, and invite you to find out more about taking delivery of a new Corvette at the Museum.

Heartbeat in the Heartland Tour Finale
The tour was a great success and its travels reached many who found out more than they ever knew about the Museum and our mission. Several new members also joined the Museum at various stop-over locations along the tour’s route. We owe a great deal of appreciation and thanks to Lifetime members Bill Weir, tour coordinator and Bobbie Weir and Randy Pierce, tour team members, for their hard work and endless hours of travel during the tour. Our upcoming issue of America’s Sports Car magazine will feature photos and additional details from the tour’s journey through the heartland – so stay tuned. |
