Yes, confirmed that 8 cars were swallowed up. OMG... What a loss that could be, depending on which ones...

DAYAM!

What effect will this have on the Gathering (I can't help but wonder)?

Hard to believe something like that could happen. We had dinner in there last year!

This is going to be expensive to fix, perhaps we should start a collection?

Blue flame restorations a can restore those cars no matter what. I think the most key car lost was the 1 millionth Vette, and possibly the ZR1 spyder.

this it what i found....



BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Eight Corvettes at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green are gone after a sinkhole opened under the Skydome portion of the facility Wednesday morning.
According to a news release, the museum's security company alerted officials around 5:44 a.m. Wednesday when movement in the Skydome set off motion detectors.
Museum officials said when the arrived at the building they discovered the sinkhole and the Bowling Green Fire Department secured the area.
The release stated the following cars were affected:
  • 1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors
  • 2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” on loan from General Motors
The other six vehicles were owned by the National Corvette Museum including:
  • 1962 Black Corvette
  • 1984 PPG Pace Car
  • 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette
  • 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette
  • 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
  • 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette
Stuctural engineers are being called in to survey the damage.
The museum is open to the public, but officials said the Skydome is closed to everyone, including employees, until it is deemed structurally sound.

They better think about removing Zora and Elfie to safer ground.....

The article states that the NCM will be open today. I would think that from a liability standpoint, they would not want their employees at risk.

The board is meeting tonight to discuss BG 2014 and we will add
the NCM's tragedy to the top of the agenda

The club should consider giving what we can, this is a huge
catastrophe and this is the time to help

Thoughts?

Perhaps a donation from the Registry as a whole combined with donations by individuals ? The BG disaster relief fund? Count me in.

Good thing the museum was closed or it could have been much worse, I wonder how long it had been sinking? I'm sure they have insurance to help with the cost.

I left Adam a voicemail telling him I was willing to buy the spider sight unseen.

On a serious note. I am glad to hear that no one was hurt.
