Re: Sad day for some of our truck's kin
I toured it a couple years ago too. There was a nice 61 on display out front when I was there.

Re: sad day
I don't get it, why their engineer did not perform seismic testing know their were caverns and alike in the area, sounds like someone is going to get sued.

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
^ $$$. Designed a Big chain store up in PA years ago. Owner/developer would only pay for coring in building area and random areas in parking lot. Just days before the store was to open a huge hole opened up in the detention pond and another opened up in a new access road to the main road. Some people refuse to pay for geotech investigations at all unless the permit issuing municipality requires it.

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
As a civil engineer. I have never had the need for seismic testing unless it was a structure that was used Seismic qualification. I would never had used this type of testing unless it was a Earthquake prone area..or it was a Vibration Isolation zone...or there was a past history of underground water caverns

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
Well,Kentucky has Mammoth Caves National Park and Lost River,as well as limestone deposits/quarries/caverns running from there up to PA,so yeah,there is lots of history of underground water caverns.
I just hope they had excellent insurance coverage or this thing could put the museum in the hole

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
As someone from Kentucky sinkholes are common here most never that big tho.Yes the museum is in bowling green same place the corvette plant is.The plant opened when the c4 started and has been the only plant since. If you wanna talk about bad luck Adair county which isn't far from bowling green had a natural gas line explosion about the same time as the sinkhole.

Re: Sad day for some of our truck's kin
That's what I thought when I saw the first pictures. It looked like some sick 1/24th scale diorama.

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
The Mallet and Zr-1's are a shame to be damaged....but having been to the museum a few times myself....the rest are, rather plain. The 1 millionth vette is a milestone, but the car itself has no extended value.
Would be cool to leave it as an exhibit...just hook up a couple of vintage c30 wreckers and stage it like the other "Scenes" they have there.

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
If they can recover them without too much issue, the '62 and '09 ZR1 Blue Devil (very bad ass car) should be relatively easy restores. The rest are going to take some serious $$$.

Re: Sinkhole collapses part of Corvette Museum in Ky
I saw photos today where they began lifting the cars out. What a shame.
For anyone interested, Chuck Mallett (the builder of the 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06) is a member on here. He's a very cool guy that has a house here in the Lake Norman area. He came out for the C10 Cruise In last year in Mooresville. He has a couple C10's, but on that day he was driving a Pontiac Solstice powered LS7 and a 6 speed. The thing was nasty. I think it was called the Pitbull and he drove it in the Optima Street Car Challenge. Very cool to meet him.
