A few words about the car:

This car currently resides in Mike Yager's personal collection. Mike is the owner of Mid America Motorworks. Chevrolet built fifty-six street legal cars for the 1988 SCCA Corvette Challenge race series. Fifty cars had racing equipment installed including roll cages, numbers, wheels, etc., and six were used as test vehicles for the series. Mid America Designs was a major sponsor of the series along with Goodyear, Exxon and Chevrolet, and purchased the car at the end of the series. This factory racer was driven by Randy Ruhlman in the series. It is exactly the way it left the track in 1988 and has not been restored. Challenge cars are possibly the most collectible Corvettes of their generation.
