Wouldn’t it be sweet to see some Corvettes racing around the Lowes Motor Speedway. Absolutely. Well, I’m not sure if we will see this anytime in the near future, but I can tell you that I will be expressing my love of the Corvette while riding around the speedway this year.
The only problem is it that it will be some very slow lap speeds. When I’m not out enjoying driving one of our Corvettes, I’m usually behind the computer or out riding one of my bikes. This year I am riding in 10 events at the Lowes Motor Speedway. These events are called Time Trials. Believe it or not, anyone can actually come out and ride their bike around the speedway for about $20. This is not a race, however most cyclist do race against the clock. There are cyclist of all levels from recreational to serious cyclist. The events consist of riding ten miles as hard as you can go. That is right at six and half laps around the track.
Shortly after buying our new 2008 Corvette fro Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet, my wife bought me a Corvette Racing cycling jersey. The jersey is quite colorful and does a great job of attracting attention to the Corvette name. I highly doubt I will be receiving a call anytime soon about a real sponsorship. So for now we will consider this free advertising in the name of Chevrolet and Corvette. Then again, if you want to throw some bones my way in the way of sponsorship, I will be happy to accept and work out the details.
The first event is scheduled for April the 9th. The week following the Food Lion Auto Fair. I’m gonna be spending a lot of time at the speedway that week, for sure.
I’ll try to do a race by race resuts post from my laptimes if anyone wants to follow along.
See you at the track!
John
