[VIDEO] A Corvette Facebook Group Shows Its Appreciation for Shane at the National Corvette Museum

If you have purchased a new Corvette in the last few years and opted for the R8C Museum Delivery service, you have probably dealt with Shane Webb who runs the one-of-a-kind for the National Corvette Museum.

In addition to overseeing the PDI work when the new Corvettes arrive from the assembly plant, Shane also helps to coordinate the delivery dates with the new owners about a month before the delivery is scheduled to happen. In the crazy environment of COVID and plant shutdowns affecting Corvette sales over the last year, you can imagine what a difficult job it has been.

New for the 2022 model year, buyers of either the base car or the Z51 can now add a new option – the Low Profile Spoiler (TVS).

The International Motor Racing Research Center was built in 1998 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of racing at Watkins Glen. It was in October 1948 that the first post-WW2 sports car road race took place through the streets of Watkins Glen and the rebirth of sports car road racing was on. Four years later, General Motors Chief of Design Harley J. Earl was watching a race at Watkins Glen when he had the first vision of the Chevrolet Corvette. Within a year, the car debuted at the GM Motorama in January 1953, and the rest is history.

Here’s a pretty cool video showing a group of C8 Corvette owners meeting up at a Chevrolet sales center in Qatar, UAE, and then heading out for a group drive. It’s a bit on the short side in our opinion, and it has the feeling of being a “corporate video” which is another way of saying it’s well-produced and exactly :60 seconds long.
