What are the odds of this happening right there under the dome? I wonder if this was prep/construction related or a random sink hole similar to those events in Florida.

sinkholes in the same vicinity
So will the "barn find" nomenclature be replaced to some degree by "sink hole find". Actually, the reason I bought a 'vette (vs. a BMW, Porsche, etc.) is that I didn't think the repair and maintenance costs would be a dark hole.
Who knew?

That is a real shame, but I guess I'll go ahead and be the first to ask....
How much for the seats in either one of the white ones or the '09 ZR1?

The real worry here is the finding from this point. I hope to hell they can deem the site stable, otherwise the real disaster is yet to come. I go to the museum for the bash every year, among other times, and this is going to be a real bad situation if ground penetrating radar shows big voids remaining. I hope the museum had sink hole insurance, because homeowner/basic structural policies don't cover things like this. You'd think it's a given, but these areas of Ky, FL, AZ...obtaining sink hole insurance has become increasingly difficult.
I'm real upset right now...this is no laughing matter.
