Corvette Feature Car At Road America
Road America (Elkhart Lake, WI) is featuring Corvettes this year in honor of their 60th birthday, at the vintage races July 18-21. My wife and I are driving the '66 this year...
...and we were wondering if there will be any planned Corvette activities or gathering spots? In years past I've been crewing for some Can Am cars and haven't really looked around much beyond the pits and paddock areas. I'll still be crewing this year but plan on doing more spectating. Anything going you know of?

Thomas, the '66 is looking fine. Since you are going I assume all needed (to your standards) is done. I'll be in De. with mine for several days. Wish I could make it to WI. Enjoy the ride! Dennis

There is Corvette Corral between turn 2-3. There is always things going on there. Usually a tent with info set up. Concours is Saturday evening in downtown Elkhart Lake. There is a $20 off gate tickets via text, info on the web page. I will be there without any of the Vettes, staying just outside the track at a friends place with no garage.

...I haven't had much chance to check many places out. I'm going to try and get out more this year. I'm a little surprised with this being the year of the Corvette at RA there hasn't been much talk about it on the forum.

There are many guys who read and don't post on the forum. That seems to be the norm with the Chicago-land and Wisconsin straight axle & mid year guys. Once you get to talking to many they know of the forum but just are not actively posting. I will keep on the look out for you.

the heat has to be BRUTAL up there, I went last year after not being there since my last race Sept `06 and I was miserable, now I know how my family felt for all those years.

Asking for a favor!
I was wondering if someone could pick me an event program from this event and I can send the payment/shipping. And then I will pick up for them a Monterey Reunion program in August and they can send me payment, and I will ship that out to them.

Thanks!
I didn't realize that that was actually this very weekend. This was a thought of getting every 60th Anniversary event program for Corvette from around the Country and was going to post that up. I am going to get some extra programs at Monterey, no profit intentions- it is that it will be chocked full of Corvette because it is the featured Marque. Thank you! Because the Road America events are usually first rate also. I will await the email. Much appreciated. I will send lunch money also, to treat you for doing me this favor!
PS super cool car. I like the backdrop pictured. I like cool shots.

TC,
I have an extra program from RA. If Thomas does not come through let me know. I would be interested in a Monterey program if you do get them.

I just got home after 4 days of fantastic fun at Road America and got a program...
...for TCracingCA. You need to send me an email or PM with a mailing address and I'll get this out to you ASAP. The event was a blast as usual and I actually got to look around the paddock area more than normal. I took over 200+ photographs and will post the more interesting Corvette related ones tomorrow. Happy to help out a fellow enthusiast.

That is cool!
I sent the PM. How was the reception for your beautiful car?

Bill Morrison, who is lining up 5th on the cover of the program in the Tero Corvette, was at the Hawk racing his Corvette for the 50th year. Had a good run in the all Corvette race!!

I have the three extra programs from Monterey!
Thus as soon as the PM activity dies down, I will PM those individuals!
