Some of the "Hall of Fame" folks that I find ridiculous are the ones who never did anything to improve the Corvette. They were simply involved with founding the museum:

Has Ron Fellows done more to improve Corvette than those guys? I'd say hell yes. He's been instrumental in several LeMans wins, he's been a very down-to-earth face of Corvette Racing, and he's helped establish credibility for Corvette as a performance car in every meaning of the word.

Now, don't get me wrong. It's great these guys went above and beyond to get the museum going. But I don't think that is museum-worthy, almost by definition.

What other HOF's are like that? Does the pro football hall of fame include the guy who secured the museum land grant?? Next to Babe Ruth's jersey in Cooperstown, is there a blazer and khaki pants hanging of the guy who filed for 501(c)(3) tax-deductible status for the museum?? Give me a break...
Bob:

If you have someone you believe is worthy of the Hall of Fame at the National Corvette Museum, nominate them. The process is somewhat lengthy, but not overwhelming. I've actually made a nomination myself of a Corvette Enthusiast. Collecting all of the supporting documents and endorsement letters is the hard part. The form can be obtained by going to the museum's website, www.corvettemuseum.com
