~4/23/24~Today I spent the bulk of the day with my good friend Chuck V., the MGR for the Paint and Body shop at the Corvette Plant in BG, KY. In the morning we played a round of Golf at his golf club, The Club at Olde Stone. Then had lunch and took a “quick” ride in his 2024 Sea Wolfe Gray ERAY. Later on he met us at Montana Grille for dinner. Fantastic friend and fun was had on a windy but Sunny day.
~4/25/24~On site at the National Corvette Museum today in Bowling Green, KY…it’s not the Batmobile and not the ZR1.
It was actually a ZR1-style wing from AGM Motorsports that Paragon Performance had on a Z06.
~2025 new wheels for the Z06 on display at the Corvette Bash in KY. This is one of four finishes announced:
~3 new 2025 colors…Hysteria purple, Competition Yellow, and Sebring Orange.
~2025…New Stingray Z51 spoiler choice, New Z06 wheel choice and new Yellow caliper option.
~4/25/24~ Various pictures from around the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY the last 48 hours. The weather for the Corvette Bash has been glorious!
~Friday 4/26/24~ Final pics as I depart for Nashville airport and head back to BWI in Maryland. The Corvette Bash was a huge success. Thank you to all the staff at the Corvette Museum and GM for the never ending hospitality. Travel safely everyone!
2024 Corvette Museum HOF winners this year to be inducted in September.
~Big time Congrats to Richard Prince, the official Corvette Race Team Photographer?? Yesterday he was Elected into the National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame in Bowling Green, KY. I have known Richard since the mid to late 1980’s and his body of work in the Corvette World is 2nd to none. One of the most incredible Photographers and a really fine writer. I ran into him in the pits of the 24 hrs of Lemans Race in France 2011 and he was kind enough to take this photo of me and the winning car 24 hrs and 30 minutes before the checkered flag was dropped on Team Corvette. Another feather in the cap of a legendary man, Richard Prince…Corvette Hall of Fame inductee 2024!

Vince and his son Vinnie took my Z06 Corvette school out at Spring Mountain last year and had a blast. Today they are taking delivery of their new Amplify Orange 2024 Corvette Eray coupe. The Orange calipers and orange seat belts really make this Eray pop especially with the carbon fiber exposed weave wheels. At 2:15 pm CST is when we will tour the Corvette Plant together. Stay tuned
~ 4/24/24~The local school kids cheered on my Amplify Orange Eray delivery today at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Fun was #1 for all involved and once again the Museum staff knocked the delivery out of the ballpark.

~Rod J. of Minnetonka, Minnesota took museum delivery of his 34th Corvette! We first met right here at the Museum in 2014 and we struck up a friendship.

The picture of the modified 69 Corvette parked beside the Air Force jet is my favorite.
Thanks Mike, for the Retro-pix. Always fun to see the old pictures of “Vettes gone by “
Particularly like the pic of the blue/white top ’69 roadster.
Sorry to see the pic of the upside down C2 and so many pics of Corvettes covered in junk in garages.
Typo — meant to refer to the upside down C1.
