This week in June is unique as there are two major events that are going on
that will appeal to different parts of the Corvette Enthusiast spectrum.
The Bloomington Gold Corvette Show kicks of on June 14th and runs through
the 17th at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Illinois. Judging for the
Survivor class begins at 1:00pm. On Friday, the show will be in full swing
with Gold and Benchmark judging underway and of course our favorite event, the
Gold Auction begins at 3:00pm. We will have our usual preview of significant
or unique Corvettes that we feel are that will be the ones to watch as the
week progresses.

Bloomington Gold

The second major event we are following this week is Corvette Racings
defense of their 24 hours of LeMans crown. As you know, the first half of the
ALMS season hasn't been all that exciting due to the lack of a competitor in
the GT1 class. But all that changes in France as 15 cars are entered in the
GT1 class. The team has one five LeMans championships in the last six years
and this week the team may be facing their greatest challenge.
Qualifying for the 24 Hours of LeMans is Wednesday and Thursday. The Race
kicks off for us in the United States on Saturday morning. As always, we will
have updates following the progress of Team Corvette throughout the week.
