Spring Mountain Motor Resort is a Corvette “track rat’s” paradise and anyone that has participated in the Corvette Owner’s School there has experienced that first hand.
I’ve been a school participant three times since 2014 and also joined National Corvette Salesman, Mike Furman, to chronicle one of his customer appreciation schools last year. You can read about that experience here!
Same pairings in pair of Corvette C7.Rs for IMSA’s 50th season
DETROIT (Jan. 2, 2019) – A new season for Corvette Racing will bring a familiar look and feel to race fans across North America in 2019 as the program confirmed its lineup today for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. It’s a roster that remains intact for the fourth consecutive year.
GM released their sales totals this morning for Fourth Quarter 2018. During the months of October, November, and December, the automaker reported a total of 3,910 Corvettes sold.

Corvette restomods have a history of bringing in the big dollars at auction and we are expecting this twin-turbo 1963 Corvette Sting Ray to do very well when it crosses the block at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction later this month.
Over the years we’ve talked about the Corvette’s first chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov and his quest to build a mid-engine Corvette. While his efforts were thwarted when he was at GM, as were the efforts of the chief engineers who would follow him, it finally looks like the long-awaited mid-engine Corvette is going to be revealed sometime later this year.
Back in 1978, the hoopla over the Corvette Indy Pace Car stole much of the spotlight from that year’s other special Corvette – the Silver Anniversary model.

![[PICS] New Year's Day Renders and Commentary from Chazcron on the 2020 C8 Corvette](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2019/010119_7b.jpg)
Chazcron is one of the digital artists who have helped Corvette enthusiasts fill the void between various sightings of the C8 mid-engine Corvette by creating a series of high-quality renders and 360-degree videos based on the spy photos.
We’ve contributed to his project by sharing some of the highest-resolution C8 spy photos that we had access to and it appears that the ability for him to zoom in on certain features and design cues is paying off based on this latest post from the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com.
Thanks again to Chazcron for sharing his work with us over the last few months as his renders have helped us to “mentally transition” (thanks John for that phrase) to what the C8 may look like when finally revealed. In this latest post, Chazcron shares several gifs and new renders of the C8 and provides quite a bit of commentary as to why, how, and what’s next.
Now if we could only get him the actual/final headlight and tail lights drawings…
Another year is almost in the books so we thought we would take a look back to see which articles got the most traffic on CorvetteBlogger in 2018. These are ranked based on your clicks so in essence, this list of Corvette stories was voted on by you!
Although the C8 Mid-Engine Corvette is not expected to hit dealers until sometime later in 2019, the 2020 Corvette dominated our news coverage this year with seven of the top 10 stories. And did we mention renders? If you wonder why we post so many renders of the C8 Corvette, it’s because they generate a lot of interest from our readers.
