The Corvette was born in 1953 and in less than ten years, the face of the car changed dramatically, especially in areas related to performance and competition.  One of the driving forces behind this evolution was National Corvette Hall of Fame member Zora Duntov.  Duntov had many visions during his time with General Motors, but in 1962, he dreamed up a car that was unlike any other before it.  This car, a mid-engine racer named Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle second generation (or CERV II) was the talk of the town then and this year at the 2014 Corvettes at Carlisle, that was held August 22-24 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds.  This historical Corvette was once again all the rage among Corvette enthusiasts.
