They say that you come to the NCM Bash the first time for the cars, but you return for the people. As someone who has a ton of friends in the Corvette hobby, shows like the Bash and Corvettes at Carlisle give us a great opportunity to get together in person with people you may only see once or twice a year.
One of our good friends in the hobby is Mike Brink of the Brink of Speed YouTube Channel. Mike is an enthusiast who I think has been making great content lately, especially with his 2024 Corvette E-Ray. Some of our favorite videos of his were seeing the reactions of those who got to feel the launching power of the first AWD Corvette.
Mike and I also share a relationship with Ed Hollinshead of Wheel Craft. They have been one of our sponsors here on CorvetteBlogger for over two years now and we can’t say enough about them and just how easy their chrome wheel exchange is to do. I was always going to do chrome wheels for my C8 Corvette, and Wheel Craft is a fantastic option if you want Chrome, Black Chrome, or another tint like Bronze on OEM Corvette wheels.
At this year’s NCM Bash, I decided to make the 775-mile drive from Tampa in my new E-Ray and it was the first time in 15 years coming to the National Corvette Museum that I drove my own Corvette. I finally got to park in the Corvette-only lot with all my friends for once, and I even took the girl back over to the Assembly Plant and where it all started. Having my E-Ray with me just made the whole weekend a little more enjoyable.
Since the E-Ray was at the Bash, Mike and I got together to film this feature on my E-Ray. Driving out back, we set up with the NCM’ Skydome in the background. During the conversation, I talked about my owner impressions of the E-Ray, as well as how good those Wheel Craft PVD Bright Chrome wheels look under the bright Kentucky sunshine. We talk about other how E-Ray owners and what it’s like owning the first AWD Corvette. Mike even breaks out the drone of some quick flyovers in this highly picturesque location.
Enjoy the video, and if you’re interested in adding the beauty of PVD Chrome to your Corvette, contact a Wheel Craft wheel advisor at 833-639-4231 and they can get you all set up for your own chrome wheel exchange.
