Corvette C4/C5/C6 Corvette Shootout.



The National Muscle Car Association, the most recognized muscle car series in the US, is pleased to announce that it will host a very special C4/C5/C6 Corvette Shootout at its Bowling Green, Kentucky, event May 1-3, 2009. Everything Corvette can be found in Bowling Green - the National Corvette Museum and GM’s Corvette plant.

The NMCA’s C4/C5/C6 Corvette Shootout will be a special “event within an event,” at the NMCA’s Bowling Green, KY, motorsport show. The Shootout will attract the fastest turbocharged, supercharged, nitrous-powered and naturally aspirated Corvettes from around the county to compete on a national stage. They will join the NMCA’s already large base of muscle car racers and enthusiasts. Other exciting features of this NMCA event include a huge auto show and shine, a giant manufacturers’ midway/swap meet and a 300+ mph jet car!

C4/C5/C6 Corvette Shootout Classes:

Corvette Rumble Class:

The Corvette Rumble class will pair C4, C5, and C6 Corvettes against each other in an all-inclusive index-style race format. C4 Corvettes will all run together on Saturday as a group. C5 and C6 Corvettes will also run together in their respective groups. This will build a team atmosphere for each generation of Corvette competitor. Sunday class eliminations will mix together all Corvette Rumble competitors to race each other for the class championship.

Corvette Rumble Class Payouts and Awards:

Winner: $2,000 + Jacket + Plaque + TBD Grand Prize

The C6 Corvette is arguably the finest muscle car ever produced by the Big Three. The C5 Corvette is revered as the modern day ’69 Camaro because of its awesome power, affordability, and huge value. The C4 Corvette ushered in a completely new era of Corvette performance and appearance. C4/C5/C6 Corvette owners are proud, passionate, and they like to lay claim to their exploits…especially on the Corvette forums!

racerrob333

we will be there not the fastest but I sure do like racing

BLOWNBLUEZ06

I'll bet not one ECS customer shows up!
Sounds like fun! Hopefully you guys will get some video. Maybe Paul Major will show up and ruin it for all the C5 hopefuls.

N4cer

His shouldn't even be considered a Corvette anymore since it's on F-body suspension. But it's a bad mother!

Slovette2000

LOL I have a Z06 with a Novi and I will show for that I wont be running 9's but I would sure for hell try to run ten's (stock motor + Novi+ suporting Mods)

TheDingo

im gonna try to make it. hopefully sporting an ECS built motor and a low 10 sec vehicle

FactoryRaceCar

Too far from here. Besides, my car is a high 12 second car anyway

LB

I would guess any IRS corvette would be welcome.

N4cer

LOL you know I was kidding anyway I hope.
I might go. Only about 4.5hrs from here to BG. I mean, I drove the Vette to Memphis in October and that was a blast.

DOUG @ ECS

Huh?

LB

Still a little cold here im May .. not much time to do any testing before we made a big road trip. It would be 12 Hours for us Toronto folks.

DOUG @ ECS

With a trailer it is 14ish hours for us, I would think it would substantially more for you. I like racing, but not that much.

Slovette2000

come on man/\

98vettedave

Nitrous vettes are welcome TOO!It seems like the FI guys think this is their private forum.

Drewstein

I bet you need a cage to participate... LAME.

LB

I would love to speak with the guy in charge of tech before making the trip.

REDGAR

There is lots here for everyone, SC, Turbo nitrous and all motor.
It is not just for the quickest either as the money goes to the index racing event.
You only need a cage if you car runs quick enough to require a cage

NMCA contact page list emails for their organization so if you would like to speak to someone, the list is here http://www.nmcadigital.com/contactus.php

BLOWNZO6

We will be there with a Nitrous car and likely a TT car.

I don't think mine will be together by then, but who knows!

0East Tx Muscle Cars

exactly....we would trailer ours out there, but we are shooting for 8.7X-8.9's out of it at 165+ mph. the track here will let us run it because it is a true street car. i drive the car everyday. but i wouldn't want to take it on that long of a trip for just one run. will have to see about this .....
