One of the many missions of the Museum is education, and for years enthusiasts and supporters and talked about the exciting opportunity to drag race, autocross and have driving training in an area on the Museum’s campus. With much discussion, planning and effort - we have begun a fundraising campaign to fund 70 plus acres at the Exit 28 across the interstate from the Museum.The campaign was officially announced during our Corvette Celebration weekend. Our goal is to raise $1,060,000 to fund the land acquisition. Future plans would include constructing a Motorplex Park with a ¼ mile drag strip, an autocross/skid pad area, and a 1.5 mile road course. The building expansion is top priority at this time, but obtaining the land to have these opportunities open for the future of the Museum was very important and something we just couldn’t pass on making happen.

The park will give us a chance to offer the facility to clubs and Corvette enthusiasts to compete and use during our events or perhaps their own. There are many opportunities open to be a part of the exciting educational Motorplex Park and information can be found via our site at: www.corvettemuseum.org or call us at: (800) 53-VETTE.

Gifts of all amounts are appreciated to help us reach our goal. Supporters may also “purchase” acreage to help fund the project. We hope you will join us in this exciting adventure to take the Museum to another level of education, preservation and celebration.
