Default NCM building it's on Race Track??

just got a newsletter that the NCM has purchased 70 acres for a drag strip and road course. Says it will be for rental and NCM HPDE events.

1.5 mile course is what they have planned.

Any more info???

Quote from eNews:

"Additional Acreage Obtained for Educational Motorplex Park!

We have acquired 70 plus acres to be used for the development of an Educational Motorplex Park to be located across the interstate from the Museum.

The Motorplex Park will offer a ¼ mile drag strip, 1.5 mile road track and an autocross/skid pad area. The Motorplex Park will be available for rent to Corvette Clubs for their educational and competitive use and will be an educational facet during NCM events.

Conceptual plans and more information will be announced in August."

It's been in the works for a while now (hush hush), we don't want to upset the apple cart!
But yes eventually we'll have quite a nice (if small) track & drag strip just exactly what depends on funds
it is across the interstate from the museum
