Dear Fellow Corvette Enthusiasts...

Guy Larsen, President

Are you getting anxious for Corvette Season to be here? I certainly am! Winter of 2016 is a thing of the past and it is SPRING!! For many of us, Spring means it is time to kick the tires, check the battery and prepare one of our dearest friends that we have stored away from the cold and snow for another season of driving. It also means that Bloomington Gold is right around the corner! If you haven’t already, reserve your track time, secure your hotel reservations and circle June 22-24th on your calendar in RED! The count down to the last weekend in June begins…. Cheers Corvette friends, Guy Larsen, President
