Corvette Challenge Cars
I see they are going to have a reunion of the Corvette Challenge cars again at Carlisle this year. How many challenge cars were there anyway? I thought just a handful, but seems like there are quite a few out there.

Re: Corvette Challenge Cars
If I recall correctly one of our members recently purchased a challenge car. Maybe he can help with your question.
Brett probably knows too.

Re: Corvette Challenge Cars
No they put a green paint on the bolts to ensure the engine was not opened up..... this was to ensure fairness and that all the cars were the same spec.
