Finally, in addition to the 8-speed automatic transmission with wheel-mounted paddle shifters, performance options on this Grand Sport include the performance exhaust system and Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

This 2019 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible isn’t completely loaded, but there aren’t many options left behind on this build.

Contest Details

Each ticket is $150, giving you a 1-in-1,500 chance of winning this unique piece of automotive history. Even if you don’t win, the National Corvette Museum is a 501c3 organization, making your ticket is tax-deductible.

There are currently 898 tickets remaining. The winner will be selected on February 20, 2020. You have just over two weeks left if you want a chance at winning this Blade Silver Grand Sport.

The only downside to this raffle is that you have to be in the state of Kentucky to buy tickets. You don’t have to buy them at the museum; you can buy them online. However, you have to be in the state of Kentucky when you buy them online. You can live in another state, too, but you have to make the trip to Kentucky buy tickets.

You can also order a form to fill out and mail-in. If you are going to take that route, you will want to act quickly.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
