Chris Cornett had never been to the National Corvette Museum before September 2009. He was visiting for a Harley event at Beech Bend and noticed the recently expanded Museum across from his hotel. Chris was in his 1978 white Ranchero towing a Harley when he met Executive Director Wendell Strode. Chris said a major selling point to join the 'Club' was the fact that he can receive track time in exchange for his contribution towards the project.

"You're building an amazing motorsports park. Even though I'm not a Corvette owner, I just had to be a part of it," said Chris. Chris is from Bagdad, Kentucky - about an hour east of Louisville. To learn more about our exciting project, visit: www.motorsportspark.org.
