    Center Conversation: “The Greatest Corvette Story Ever Told”

    June 22, 2024 @ 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

    • « NEQ Social: Paddock Tour – Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen
    • Bike Nights at The Glen »

    Please join us for a very special presentation about the amazing history of Camoradi USA Racing’s 1960 Corvette and the colorful cast of characters surrounding it. The car was built for international competition under the auspices of Chevrolet General Manager Ed Cole and Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Duntov and went on to race successfully in Havana, Daytona, Sebring, Nürburgring, Sweden, and Le Mans. The only thing more amazing than this car’s creation and race record is its survival. On the way to Britain’s famed Goodwood circuit in August 1960 it was crashed hard and left for dead but miraculously, the shattered remains were preserved and discovered some thirty years later by Loren Lundberg, an unbelievably tenacious Corvette enthusiast from Glendale, Arizona. Learn how Loren found and rescued the car, and how he and current caretaker Dominick Testa went to great lengths to restore it and make sure its incredible story would not be forgotten.

    Chuck Schroedel: Chuck was part of the Camoradi Corvette’s crew at Le Mans in 1960
    Dominick Testa: Dominick is the Camoradi Corvette’s current caretaker
    Richard Prince: Richard is a Corvette historian
