Corvette Fun

I have always been a lover of fine sports cars. The Corvette is known as America's greatest and favorite sports car. It's the most famous Chevrolet of all. From it's debut in 1953 to the present time and date, it has remained true to its two-seat sports car heritage. It is a true icon.

CORVETTE Make A Wish Kids This young man rode with me in my car at Texas Motor Speedway ( The famous Nascar track ). I took him for 3 laps around the Nascar track as part of the Make A Wish Kids Day. We followed a pace car along with about 18 other 'Vettes with their Make A Wish kids in their Vettes. These kids are something else. It was a vey humbling day. To see the smiles on their faces as they climbed into the 'Vettes, and to see the thrill they got as they were driven around the track, was just indescribable. But most of all, to talk to the parents and family members and learn about what these kids and their families go through every day will make all your problems seem so small if not disappear. It was a most fulfilling day. I can't wait to do it again next year. SO enjoy the pics. The smiles speak for themselves.
This was the staging area... where we would load the kids into the 'Vettes
Here is our Make A Wish Kids Corvette Train.
Here we are waiting to get on the track. The lane on the right has the Make A Wish Kids.As the kids got out of the cars they were given a free 1/24 scale diecast model of a Corvette.
Some of the hard workers from Lone Star Corvette Club who sponsored the whole event. Sorry I do not have more pics. I was out there with John but he and I stayed so busy giving kids rides that we didn't have much time to stop and take pics. I hope to get my wife, Karen to come out and take pics for us next year.
