Track Day Resource Guide - Team Lingenfelter
The question I frequently get asked is how did you get started in racing?
And the second question is where does one start if they have never been on a track? Here's a few tips on how to get started.
I have put together this resource guide to help those that want to get on track but not sure where start. Here is a list that I have compiled from some of my experiences over the years.

Elfi’s Silver Pearl Sisterhood
Elfi’s Silver Pearl Sisterhood is a women-driven organization that allows like-minded women to share their love of America’s Sports Car while furthering the mission of the National Corvette Museum. Much like a pearl, each member of this society shines on her own, but together they complement each other beautifully and make an impactful statement.

Any enthusiast, owner, member or friend who wishes to connect to other female Corvette lovers and advance Museum priorities through philanthropic engagement and a collective voice may become a member.
How Does It Work
Each member commits to a gift of $1,000 per year (donate by Aug. 1 to receive a vote). All donations are deposited into a restricted fund. The full membership of the group will meet at the NCM Anniversary Celebration each year and will vote on the distribution of the funds. Each member has one vote.
