PRESS COVERAGE OF THE VETTE WHISPERER'S 'BIG BRAKE FUELIE' — A Certified Factory Race Car

"Full Circle"
A Big Brake Fuelie That's Part of a Family Tree
Corvette Fever Magazine, August 2008

This is Kim Ian Madsen's own legendary factory race car, expertly driven to more than 100 race wins in the day by east coast driver Steve Elfenbein.

Kim's father was the 'wrench' on this winning race car, and today it resides in Kim's own stable. This 1960 Big Brake Fuelie (RPOs 687 and 589) was featured in Corvette Fever Magazine in the August 2008 issue,

This article in the Sunday edition of the Arizona Republic, November 4, 2007, provides a wealth of background information regarding this historic 'Vette and the local Tempe, AZ business, CorvetteRestorationAZ, that restored and owns it.

Kim Ian's '60 'Big Brake Fuelie' has been a topic of historic interest to the Corvette enthusiat community for many years! This winning race car was featured on the cover of the October '90 issue of Keeping Track of Vettes, as well as featured once again in Corvette Fever's August 2008 issue at left.

Kim routinely drives this historic 'Vette around town, often bringing it to the Pavilions and other meets in the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas. This perfectly exemplifies the notion that Corvettes have always been intended to be driven and enjoyed!
