Dave McLellan will be a featured guest during the 16th annual Corvette Funfest held on the corporate campus of Mid America Motorworks in Effingham, IL on September 25-27, 2009.  Corvette Funfest brings together over 14,000 Corvettes and 45,000 Corvette Enthusiasts for a 3-day weekend filled with seminars, a Fun Display Car Show and daily entertainment.

After the retirement of Zora Arkus-Duntov in 1975, Mr. McLellan took over as the 2nd ever Corvette Chief Engineer and led the new generation of C4 into the market.  He was instrumental in launching the Corvette Challenge Race Series in 1988.  A showcase for the Corvette’s performance, the series provided a convenient venue for final development of his most prized achievement, the Corvette ZR-1.  A National Corvette Museum Hall of Famer, Dave retired in 1992.  The author of Corvette From the Inside, a critical and historic view of the Chevrolet Corvette from a hard-core, engineering perspective, he now enjoys attending Corvette events throughout the country.
