That's great! C8R has some very big tire prints to fill! Hope it lives up to our high expectations!

I think the C5-R has the best shade of yellow. Does anybody knows if that’s the same Millennium yellow used on the production C5?

When I was a young lad back in the '50's I attended the Wisconsin state fair where they had a road course set up for racing. I clear remember seeing that early Corvette racing in that race. The cowling behind the drivers head was a lasting impression for me. I have no idea how well the car did, but it sure was impressive for a young kid.

very cool picture.

I am surprised the photographer or Chevy didn't offer to sell those pics to the Corvette masses......that would have been nice!
