C5 Registry members.

"Thanks Scotty!"

Corvette fans and owners, including the "Team Texas" C5 Registry members, took a break from the 108 degree heat at the Speedvision World Challenge event Sept. 1-3 at Texas Motor Speedway. Naykid Racing provided a "Corvette Fan Appreciation Station," a special shaded area with seating and complimentary ice-cold lemonade for the devoted fans.

"Shade was at a premium in the paddock," explained team owner/driver Scotty B. White. "Because of the extreme conditions, we created the station as an area of respite for the fans to escape from the heat and get some cool refreshment. We appreciate their support and wanted to do what we could for them to enjoy the event."

In addition, there was a special session for C5 Registry members to meet with Speedvision GT Corvette drivers Scotty B. White, Terry Lackey, Phil McClure, J. Bob Taylor, and car-builder Doug Rippie for photos, autographs and questions.

"We plan to continue and expand this format," assures White. "The Corvette fans are very active. At nearly all of the events, there are caravans of Vettes who come to the races. Their support is very important to the

Corvette racing programs, not just NayKid Racing, but all the Corvette teams in the Speedvision World Challenge series."

During the race, White rallied from his 24th spot on the grid to put the West Coast Corvettes DRM C500/R in 10th place, his third Top 10 finish this season. The record-setting heat forced many drivers, including White, to conserve their cars.

The next stop on the Speedvision GT series calendar is at Road Atlanta. NaKid Racing will once again host a Corvette Fan Appreciation Station during the Petit Le Mans weekend, Sept. 30-Oct 1.
