Wednesday, December 2, 2009 Regional Executive of
the East Ohio Region of NCCC Chuck Heretta and
fellow member Ted Vannelli made the trek to
Bowling Green, KY to present the National Corvette
Museum with a $3,000 initial check and pledge of
$15,000 to purchase an acre at the Motorsports
Park. The East Ohio Region voted on October 17 to
make the pledge, and made an official announcement
just over two weeks ago at the Governor's Meeting
of NCCC, challenging other regions to make the
same commitment.
"We decided that it's time. The
Motorsports Park benefits not only racers, but all
Corvettes," said Heretta. "We're excited
about the opportunity to contribute to the
project. We're excited to help get the project
started for the future. We want to be a part of
the experience."
Heretta added that the benefit of being able to
apply the donation towards future track time was
also a big selling point for their region.
"It is an opportunity for us... a win-win
situation," he said. "We've been looking
at this project for almost a year, and when we
came down to visit in September and saw the new
layout we knew we had to do something to get
involved."
The East Ohio Region is composed of 16 Corvette
clubs, totalling over 900 members. Learn more
