I think a single donation from the registry would be better than a bunch of small donations from individuals. It would reflect nicely on the ZR-1 crowd.

Thats a great idea. I think it might be better to wait until they get a handle on the full scope of the job. Maybe then we can put together a group donation on behalf of the Registry ?

I guess the "head honchos" of the Registry have to approve, but I think it would be a great gesture, and show our colors as the ZR1 voice in the Corvette community.

Time for a special raffle. Any chance a Corvette supply house/speed shop would donate some items for a raffle with the proceeds going to NCM?

I've got an LT5 cam cover that has been signed by many Corvette luminaries and ZR-1 owners at BG. Would be honored to donate it as a raffle item for the NCM.

Here is the latest repair update:


NCM Ambassador Advocate

February 20, 2014
NCM Update

This week as seen a flurry of activity and it is amazing to watch the team of professionals in place on the skydome project. Some highlights of what has taken place:
Panels have been removed from the outside of the skydome and a bridge built to get equipment from the outside to the same level of the skydome inside.
A new Plexiglas wall has been installed so visitors can now view the sinkhole and the work that is taking place.
The other wall leading into the skydome has a monitor with a live feed of the webcam directed toward the sinkhole for visitors to view.
Continuing meetings by the major players (Scott, Murphy, Daniel Construction, GeoTech Engineering firm Howard Baker, WKU Center for Cave and Karst Studies, Environmental Engineering team and our Insurance group - Chubb) to devise a plan which includes:
Securing the spire

Extracting the three Corvettes on top

Securing and stabilizing the sinkhole area

Extracting remaining Corvettes

Begin remediation of the entire area including exploring the caverns that can be seen.

Finalizing and implementing plans to mitigate entire sinkhole area

Finalizing our plan to repair the skydome floor.

Will the webcam be ON THE WEB?

EVERYone will want to see this.

If not, make webcam access available for a fee / NCM Membership, for revenue generation. Thousand$ of viewers x $20, + payment-generated passkey = $$

There is a live feed, and it looks like they have pulled some of the cars out. Maybe it's just the angle.....anybody know?
