Corvette won every single SCCA race in 1986 and 1987. Something had
to be done to make racing "fair". In 1988, the first season of the
Corvette Challenge debuted. In 1989, the second year of the series,
29 Corvettes were manufactured by Chevrolet.
This particular 1989 Corvette Challenge was the poster car for the
series. With a purse of over $1,000,000 and major sponsors: Mid
America Motorworks, Goodyear and Mobil 1 - the series attracted
some major talent. In order to promote the series, Chevrolet used
the #89 for marketing purposes. This car received an extremely
bright and attractive paint design, by GM Design Staff. The graphic
design was created by Corvette Designer, Kirk Benion. The car would
be used at all 1989 races and was featured in several marketing
pieces created by the series and Chevrolet.
The #89 Challenge Corvette is unique in the fact that from the
exterior, it appears as the rest, with sponsor decals and Challenge
specific Dymag wheels. However, the car featured no roll cage or
the additional safety equipment fashioned on the other cars. With
just 16,5xx miles - this Corvette Challenge car has resided with
the same owner since 1989. Ready for Radwood, the racetrack or
shows!
