Default My 2009 GT1 Corvette was one of the celebrity pick @ the Carlisle corvette show.

As some of you are aware, my 2009 GT1 corvette made it to the winner circle @ Carlisle corvette show this weekend as one of the CELEBRITY PICKS FOR CORVETTES AT CARLISLE 2010 by the Corvette Product Marketing Manager Harlan Charles.

I want to say "Thanks for choosing my car this year" It is very much appreciated; It was so cool of you to take the time to pick my car. You are the best! Also, apperciated all the time we spent over the weekend talking about the make of the car.

Thanks again, man

And a special thanks to Carlisle event staff to Lance & Ron, for allowing me to park the car by gate #3, right after the solid axe cars. It was an honor having my GT1 corvette displayed; GT1 Championship Special Edition Corvettewas built to commemorate the 10 years of GT1 racing which included 70 victories, 8 GT1 Manufacturer Championships and five GT1 class victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And because it's model, the GT1’s race inspired graphics feature Corvette Racing’s Jake mascot ghost-painted on the hood bulge (The "Jake" skull mascot is the brainchild of designer Eddie Jabbour of Kick Design. His iconic image has been popularized on the badboyvettes) as well as years of the championships and driver’s National flags.

Thanks Again, Had a great time
Kevin
