Why would this be posted in THE MEMBERS ONLY section?Seems to me this idea could use as much exposure as possible,meaning anybody could see it.You guys amaze the piss out of me,ya really do.Ill make my donation directly to the Museum.

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'll bid on that ruby. doens't look like it was hurt all that bad

the spider unfortunately wasn't so lucky. what a shame

but they will fix and be as good as new. just takes time and money.

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.

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?

ADDED LATER:
This is not meant to answer anyone's question.
It is meant to inform, anyone that cares, where to see the aforementioned link.

they pulled most of them out of the spire the day the hole opened

Well, that didn't answer my question.
