The National Corvette Museum has partnered with the ZR-1 Net Registry and Grand Sport Registry to host an event geared towards owners of 4th Generation Corvettes May 15-17. Attendees can participate in seminars, drag racing, autocross, show & shine car show, a special plant tour and other activities tailored to this generation of Corvette.

The highlight of this year's event includes a gathering of the people involved with the 1983 Corvette. The group will lead a seminar to reveal the whole story as to why there is only one left.

Pre-registration (includes hardcard event credential, lanyard and event pin) closes next Wednesday, May 7 and is $10 for Lifetime Members, $15 for Members and $25 for Non-Members.

Would your Corvette Club like to have a banner hanging in the Museum parking lot? We are now accepting reservations for the spots, first come, first serve. Banners stay up for one year, after which time they are returned to the Club.

Clubs may choose to design their own banner artwork utilizing the logos, images, text and colors of their choice; or they may choose to have the Museum create their banner. Banners created by the Museum include one logo and up to four lines of text on any color of background.

Banners are $500 and are a tax-deductible contribution to the Museum, counting towards your annual "Winner's Circle" level.

Please visit our website for all the details and to download a reservation form.

NCM Get Vette T-Shirt
$18.00

The Tennessee Valley Corvette Club stepped up and contributed $2,000 toward the NCM Motorsports Park's "Pave the Way" campaign, raising funds to help pay for the paving of an extra "carousel" feature on the East Track.

Club President Ronald Richardson made the presentation to Museum Executive Director Wendell Strode last Friday during the annual NCM Bash event.

"Our club wanted to do something in honor of Tom Lewis, founding member of the Tennessee Valley Corvette Club," Ron said. "Tom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has been a die hard Corvette fan for over 30 years," he added.

Ron was joined at the event by several others from the club, expressing excitement for the Motorsports Park. "We were looking for a way to honor Tom and thought the Motorsports Park would be a good way to do it."

Not only does the Museum host our own Corvette events, but we also serve as a space for others to host THEIR events! We have a few events coming up that are open to the public that we thought you might want to learn more about:

May 3: Jr. Achievement Mini Corvette Challenge
Area businesses race their custom-tooled and detailed Corvette go-carts to compete for bragging rights (and the Gold Cup) in the parking lot of the Museum. The event begins at 9:30am and proceeds benefit Junior Achievement of South Central Kentucky.

May 10: Hot Rides for Heroes Car & Bike Show
Benefitting the Wounded Warrior Project, this event is open to all years of American-made hot rods and bikes and is a $10 entry fee for all vehicles. Activities include live music, a military vehicle display, military-themed pinup girl show, inflatables and games for kids, 50/50 drawing, silent auction and more. Activities are from 9am until 5pm in the parking lot of the Museum.
