Work on the National Corvette Museum's Motorsports Park is progressing nicely according to a recent aerial photo. When it will be finished, the facility will boast a 3.15-mile road course specifically designed for Corvette owners that want to take their cars to the limit.
The aerial photo posted on the NCM Motorsports Park's official Facebook page shows that the entire course has been laid out and construction on adjacent facilities has also begun. Heck, the track is just about ready for paving.

Located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, just across Interstate 65 from the National Corvette Museum, the NCM Motorsports Park has all the right assets to become the enthusiast Corvette driver's Mecca.

If everything goes according to plan, the 184-acre property will feature a 10-acre autocross skidpad, a quarter mile drag strip, the longest road course in North America, a go-karting track, paddocks, as well as a control tower and administration building.

Scheduled for completion by the end of August 2014, the same moment the National Corvette Museum will celebrate its 20th anniversary, the whole racing facility is estimated it'll cost circa $16.45 million. The NCM Motorsports Park has an option to purchase 222 adjoining acres for future expansion if support dictates it.
