If nothing else, there will be at least one 2016 Admiral Blue SC757 at the Bash from Tuesday afternoon through Saturday evening.
And Chris, I'll take the tour at whatever time is the least subscribed.

Here's the first video in the series, kicking-off the Callaway exhibit at the NCM. It features the World Famous Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette, and showcases some of the other models in the background.
There will be additional videos over the next several weeks, and I'll post links as they come online. In the meantime, here's the link to the first:
Also, The Corvette Blogger just ran a story yesterday on our 2010 Callaway SC606 Demo Corvette Grand Sport which has surpassed the 250,000-mile mark, trouble free. A Quarter Million Miles, and still going strong
Here's a link to that story:

Great videos, Chris! Thanks for sharing them. I'm definitely going to need to make a trip to Bowling Green while the Callaway exhibit is there!

Here's a link for the NCM Bash Schedule, which includes several Callaway-related activities, including the seminar with Reeves Callaway & Mike Zoner, plus the "behind the scenes, insider's tours" of the Callaway Collection:

The same pattern is in effect for Reeves and Mike's presentation on Saturday which I must miss due to a C7 class.

Chris, while the tours have been added to the schedule the second half of the action, the ability to sign up for them, has yet to be added to the BASH entry form. Otherwise you could be leading a group of 40 or more people through the display.

Can you swap spots for the C7 class? If not, while still early, should I request the slot change?
Also, would you be interested in a Callaway Owners Dinner inside the halls of the NCM? If so, which eve? Fri?

Ben, The tours are set-up for room until the space fills... The NCM didn't have provisions to sign up, officially.

As for a Callaway Owners Dinner, pick the night and time and let me know - I shall be there. BTW, there is already a Banquet scheduled for Friday evening at the NCM.

Meet Frieda: The Callaway Race Car
In late 1993, Callaway’s European distributor, Ernst Wohr, entered a Supernatural car in the European GT endurance series. Ernst had lined up Boris Said as his driver and he approached Reeves Callaway for engines, and some of Paul Deutschman’s time to do the bodywork for the car.
In 1994 the Callaway team placed themselves on pole at Le Mans, by five seconds in the Corvette-based model, and did very well. The car ran the rest of the major endurance races that year and it generated orders for three more cars for European customers.
See this car and many other Callaways in our Exhibit Hall, now through May 5.
