So....are there any Vettes still running this series? I don't recall seeing a single one at Daytona.

I would like to make a road trip to the VIR race in April as I have raced my kart there many times.......but it would suck if there are no Corvettes.

What's the story race fans?

I belive one Vette was entered in the 24hrs. If you go to Grand AM web site you can check the entery list for each race.

If you are looking to see Corvettes in action you may want to think about the ALMS race at Mid-Ohio. I know it is a little longer drive but you will see "Corvette Racing" in action along with a few vettes in the GT2 Class.

You also can chack out "SKYBUS" airline who fly out of Richimond into Columbus. I did this last year and scored a $55.00 round trip to Columbus and back.

Yeah, that would be cool too. I really want to take my Vette tho, that's why I'm interested in the VIR race....only 3 hours from me!

Yes, there are two vettes running in the Rolex GT race on April 27. I'll be down there covering their effort for a Corvette magazine. I'll be producing about five pages of words and images for publication by Corvette Enthusiast Magazine Both C6 Vettes are Z06 based and run by Wayne Nonnamaker and family.

There is a chance that there could be another team arriving that will be running a Vette also.
