Default 2007 National Corvette Challenge

Have a Corvette and cannot get enough drag racing and are looking for that one big race? Or do you have a Corvette and but only race a few times a year at only big races? How about you have a Corvette and have never raced it in the ¼ mile?

Well you have a chance to be a part of the biggest Corvette drag race of 2007!
