This Corvette book is Corvette Racing Legends, the story of the L88 option package, which was printed in 2008.My L88 Corvette book is 424 pages long and it contains over 500 color and black and white photos, most of which have never been published before!Corvette Racing Legends tells the real story of the Corvette, not just the story of the racing side of the Corvette. It also explains how and why it was developed, how it turned into a world class sports car, and who did it. The L88 option package for the Corvette was the result of years of developmental work which resulted in a factory racing option package that could be ordered from Chevrolet in a brand new Corvette. The L-88 option was only available for three brief model years from 1967 through 1969. The L88 Corvette was so potent, that it could not only allow the new owner or driver to win a race in local competition, but it also could propel a properly prepared Corvette to stunning finishing positions in world class International races, such as the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Daytona. These racing victories with the L-88 option package, made the Corvette an overnight hit. The L88 nomenclature became synonymous with Corvettes and with champions. Although only 216 L-88 Corvettes rolled off the St. Louis Corvette Plant assembly line during these three model years, the L88 created an image of power and prestige that would live on with the Corvette for decades. Most of the race prepared L88 Corvettes that competed on tracks in the United States and Europe are featured in my text book, and so are the predecessors that led up to the creation of the L88 factory racing option. These are the Corvettes that started the legend. These are the Corvettes that shaped a generation of Corvettes and Corvette enthusiasts, and they are the Corvettes that shaped the future generations of Corvettes. Racing Coverage from 1956-1978 with very detailed L88 racing from 1966-1978! I put 16 years of research into this Corvette book and I started my experience with 427 Corvettes back in 1976!
