**RELEASE** LG Motorsports ALMS GT2 Corvette to National Corvette Museum.
**NEWS RELEASE**
It is with great pride that LG Motorsports will have on display our GT2 ALMS Corvette at the National Corvette Museum.
The car will enter the museum Wed. Decemeber 8th, 2010 for display. Here you will get to see the car up close as it was after Laguna 2009 at it's last race in the ALMS series.
This is truely a one of a kind piece of Corvette History as it is Chassis number 001 of 1 total produced. It is also the only privately raced Corvette, and the only one not backed by the factory. LG Motorsports owns chassis #001 and compained the car in the GT2 class from 2008 through 2009.
#28 has been driven by a number of great drivers including; Lou Gigliotti, Mark Goosens, Boris Said, Eric Curran, Tom Sutherland, Matt Bell, Doug Peterson, Tomi Drissi, and Lucas Molo.
2009 Road Atlanta is was 2nd quick for the start of the race and was the first private ran Corvette to out qualify the factory team. It was also the only American car with an all American driver line up that week as well.
Lou will be there with the car and I on Wed. to bring the car in. Love to see as many of you as we can that day. For those going to the museum for pickup or just a tour, be sure to stop by and see the car in person.

Lou,
That's fantastic! My wife and I visited the museum last May as part of our 30th anniversary trip (saw Atlantis launch as well
), and you'll be in historical company with the other racers on display.
Is this a permanent donation or temporary?
Y'all have a good one,
Mike

Just got back from the Museum last night. Big thanks to Adam and all of the guys and gals at the museum, we had a blast!
In front on a very cold December morning
By the new Cafe at the museum
Going into the holding area for display
Lou proudly standing beside the #28 in the display area.
All tucked away awaiting guests!
Be sure to stop by and ask for a poster of the car when you go as well. Lou's driver's suit and helmet are also on display with the car.
I'll have some video in a couple days of it going in as well.
Again big thanks to the National Corvette Museum for giving us the honor of having the car there!

I was there, and by chance ran into Lou in the cafe that day without knowing it was the first day of the LG#28 car's induction in the museum.
Lou G was super cool and gracious, and made the visit to the museum all that better.
Great experience overall.
