| More Corvette Spec Racing | |

| Here's a Jalopnik.com post from a BBV [professional] friend AND [clearly] a friend of Corvette that poses a question for racing Corvette.
Their storyline of putting more Corvette racecars [more production-based Corvette racecars] onto the professional race tracks / events has a number of nuances to it -
* Build / sell more Corvette racecars [See Aston Martin / Porsche for the biz case / formula]? Or....
* Rebuild a Corvette spec series, like Porsche Cup [and all other 1-make series around the globe]?
We recognize that the [production-evolved] ALMS GT C6R will be back to fight the defending BMW [and others]. The Grand-Am Daytona Prototype body IS a Chevy move to put more Corvettes out there [But, spend the $ on this or a GT4-spec C6 or C7?]. World Challenge Corvette teams will be back in 2012.
AND grass-roots Corvettes are 'everywhere', thanks to so many Corvette owner / racers.
* But, maybe they all should be unified under a 'Team Jake' Grassroots Identity and Benefits-Support Program? Yes, we have an idea to pitch to GM!
All considered, what do you think about the Jalopnik.com ideas to race / market Corvette?
PS - While Porsche, Lotus, et al are busy announcing "Performance / Driving Experience Centers / Tracks" across the US / globe, is not Bowling Green and the Corvette Museum on a path to do the same? Timeline, anyone? |
