Default Do you drag race?

Have a Corvette and cannot get enough drag racing and are looking for that one big race? Or do you have a Corvette and but only race a few times a year at only big races? How about you have a Corvette and have never raced it in the ¼ mile?

Well you have a chance to be a part of the biggest Corvette drag race of 2007!

We are happy to announce the 2007 National Corvette Challenge. What is the National Corvette Challenge? It is an opportunity to get your Corvette out and take it down the quarter mile while competing against other Corvettes in the largest gathering of Corvettes with a common interest, the Corvette. Join enthusiasts from many different states in this once-a-year gathering.

In 2007, for first time we will be featuring a People’s Choice Corvette car show. All attendees will get a chance to vote for their favorite Corvette in each generation. There is something for everyone, racers, showers and spectators.

Someone needs to organize one of these for Firebird (Chandler, AZ) in January or February. All you guys freezing your butts off in the East could take a nice winter trip out here and have some fun!

Thanks Gary.


Guys I have tried every arguement to move out west but two things hold us back...kids still living at home (5 more years ) and her parent 50 miles away vs. 3000


For you guys out West, we do have a western series in California and goes to Vegas once a year.

That is why we have a People's choice car show this year Mike.
