Nominate Someone for the Great Hall…
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012I have again been asked to serve on the Bloomington Gold Great Hall Selection Committee so if you know of someone (including yourself) that you believe deserves to be inducted into the Bloomington Gold Great Hall, please send your nomination to terry@proteamcorvette.com. However, the standards criteria are quite high.
To qualify, a selection committee* will review all nominations and evaluate the strength of their contribution to the Corvette community, how much they influenced the direction of the Corvette hobby, or how historically important their accomplishment(s) have been. If you can answer these three questions easily, then your nomination may have a good chance of qualifying as one of only 50 people to be inducted during the five year program.
1. Specifically, what did this person do to contribute to the greater good of the Corvette community? What did they give?
2. Specifically, how did this person influence the direction of the Corvette community?
3. Specifically, what accomplishments did this person make that were or are historically important?
Anyone nominated with supporting documentation why they should be inducted will be considerably more likely to increase their odds of being inducted. Remember, it’s not a popularity contest. It’s about who really had an impact on the Corvette hobby, industry, or community.
The Great Hall has already inducted 20 individuals over the past two years. There are 3 years remaining in the program and therefore 30 open induction slots. Send your nominations (and reasons why) today.
Next month you can nominate specific Corvettes for the Great Hall.
*Selection Committee: Bill Lock, Terry Michaelis, Mike Yager, Bill Mock, Jim Prather, Gary Mortimer, Roger Judski

See & Hear More of the 1969 BFG #49 ZL1
Wednesday, September 14th, 20111969 BFG #49 ZL-1 Corvette Race Car… one of 3 team cars sponsored by BF Goodrich during ’71-’73 showcasing their new line of T/A Radials. #49 competed in the trifecta of sports car racing; 12 Hrs of Sebring, 24 Hrs of Daytona, and 24 Hrs of LeMans. The 3 team cars #48, #49, & #50 were owned & campaigned by John Greenwood (inducted into the Sebring Raceway Hall of Fame in ’02). Driven by top road course drivers of the period; Greendyke, Greenwood, Johnson, Smothers, Yenko. 1st major win was 1st place in GT in ’72 at Watkins Glen 6 Hr driven by Greenwood and Smothers. In ’73 it was campaigned at 12 hr of Sebring, Daytona 24 hr and at 24 hr of LeMans. At LeMans, it set the GT speed record of 215mph on the Mulsanne Straight. Was delivered as a 69 factory L88 & was used by John Greenwood as a PR car. When the #50 car was heavily damaged in a crash in ’72, he converted the #49 to a race car, installing all of the famous Greenwood innovations, notched rear end, quick replacement radiator, quick camber adjustment, and a new Chevy ZL1 all aluminum 427 cu engine producing over 750 hp @ 6500 rpm. Restored to concourse condition in ’08 by Kevin Mackay of Corvette Repair & debuted at Quail Motorsports ’08 where it received Best in Class over a strong field of Sebring Race Cars.
