Default Article on Lou Gigliotti and his history in Corvette Racing.

Hey guys,

I have been working to collect some of Lou's Corvette history with a few guys over the last couple months and they just released a small article in the March issue of 'Vette Vues Magazine'.

Very good reading for those that do not know his starts into Corvette racing in the 1980's. There is going to be a full history of not only our cars, but all Corvette race cars being put together by registry of Corvette Racecars.com which should be up and running by the time you read this (http://registryofcorvetteracecars.com/

PDF of Lou's article here:
Vette Vue's Lou Gigliotti Article



Really fun project to do, and it reminded me of a lot of the different things we did to the cars over the years.

Enjoy!

It would be great if you could create a record of all the cars. Then have a track day for the LG cars. Sort of like what RUF does in Europe.

Default Very Nice Indeed

I was fortunate to see Ron Fellows jet around Spring Mountain in the Cragar car prior to the Long Beach race last year.
