    “The Greatest Corvette Story Ever Told”- A Look Back

    On Saturday evening, June 22, a very special Center Conversation was hosted by the Research Center.  The program focused on the amazing history of the Camoradi #4 Corvette that finished 10th in the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans.

    The panel consisted of Richard Prince, author and official photographer for the GM Corvette Race Team; Dominic Testa, owner of the car; Chuck Schroedel, who was a member of the Camoradi team at Le Mans in 1960; and a special guest appearance by Laura Klauser, the GM Sports Car Racing Program Manager.

    A GM-produced 30-minute promotional film from the Le Mans event in 1960 was shown, and each member of the panel gave their insight into the history of the car.  Chuck’s commentary from actually “being there” in ’60 was especially memorable.  Ms. Klauser ended the presentation by taking us from Corvette racing in 1960 to the 2024 Corvette Racing programs competing not only in the United States, but in race series around the world.

    A great, enthusiastic crowd of race fans and ’Vette lovers were on hand, and we extend our thanks to the Rochester Corvette Club, which had multiple, beautiful ’Vettes parked outside the Center adding to the fun.  After the presentation, many came back to the Center for more rapport with the speakers.
