Several club members made a day-run down to Wilsonville, OR to visit the World of Speed. But first we stopped at the nearby Ram Restaurant for sandwiches and adult beverages. The World of Speed includes almost 100 vehicles, featuring cars raced by Richard Petty, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Danica Patrick — and many…
CORVETTE ONLINE | Every Corvette enthusiast has an idea for the “perfect” Corvette floating around in their head.
