Council and Grand Sport Registry Each Make a Pledge to
Join Motorsports Park's 'One Acre Club'
Friday, December 4, 2009 Buzz Marston, Public Relations
and NCM Ambassador for the Council, presented Executive
Director Wendell Strode of the National Corvette Museum
with a $3,000 initial check and pledge of $15,000 to
purchase an acre at the Motorsports Park.
"WSCC is proud to be a supporter of the NCM
Motorsports Park "One Acre Club Program" and we
encourage other clubs and organizations to get involved in
support of this very worthwhile program," said Rob
Weaver, president of WSCC
"Because of the dedication of the 40 clubs that
make up the Western States Corvette Council, they voted
to be a part of the one-acre program in support of
the NCM Motorsports Park. I know that the members are
excited about the future of the Motorsports Park and
want to be in on the ground floor of it becoming a
reality," said Marston.
The Western States Corvette Council is composed of 40
Corvette clubs, totalling over 1,800 members. Learn more

Monday,
November 30th, 2009, John “Hutch” Hutchinson, the
“Skunkmaster” of the Corvette Grand Sport Registry,
presented the National Corvette Museum with initial checks
totaling over $4,000 and a pledge of $15,000 to purchase
an acre of land at the Motorsports Park.
It was only early October when the GSR chose to
enter into this campaign and make the pledge to raise the
necessary funds for the One Acre Club. “As a Lifetime
Club Member of the NCM, the GSR has long been an active
supporter of the Museum and the ideals it represents,”
said Hutch. “It’s quite a task for a relatively small
organization as ours, but we ‘Stinkers’ are excited to
take on this new challenge. Our members recognize the
importance and future benefit of the Motorsports Park to
all Corvette owners, and are proud to take part in making
this dream become a reality. We challenge other clubs and
registries to follow our lead.”
The Grand Sport Registry is comprised of nearly 400
members, with membership open to all Corvette enthusiasts.
Grand Sport ownership is not required. Learn more about
