Everything Corvette can be found in Bowling Green - the National Corvette Museum and GM’s Corvette plant. The NMCA’s C4/C5/C6 Corvette Shootout will be a special “event within an event,” at the NMCA’s Bowling Green, KY, motorsport show. The Shootout will attract the fastest turbocharged, supercharged, nitrous-powered and naturally aspirated Corvettes from around the county to compete on a national stage. They will join the NMCA’s already large base of muscle car racers and enthusiasts. Other exciting features of this NMCA event include a huge auto show and shine, a giant manufacturers’ midway/swap meet and a 300+ mph jet car!

Brandon Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 The Orange and yellow cars will be there we just have to figure out how to make them legal for the times they run, remember going 160 mph is a whole new ball game in the NHRA. As for the E.T's we are confident 8's are easily in both cars, no power added . Just some much need refinement, and suspension adjustments! Our other big motor C6Z (Black Texas car) will be there, as he stands to push Jason and Marks current records! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
