This is an online petition of Corvette owners and motorsports fans pledging our support for LG Motorsports in the Texas civil case no. 296-00571-2011 against General Motors, Corvette Racing, Michelin North America, and Doug Fehan.
Filed Legal Petition 2/10/2011- Texas Case No. 296-00571-2011
During the 2008-2009 American Le Mans Series seasons, General Motors, Corvette Racing, Michelin North America, and Doug Fehan performs acts of monopolization in violation of the Sherman Act and the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act of 1983.
LG Motorsports raced the #28 Corvette C6 in the GT2 class against World Class sportscar competition, as a privateer team racing against a field of the most prominent manufacturers in modern motorsport. Through closed-door deals GM, Corvette Racing, and Fehan sought to stop the LG Motorsports team by restraining the purchase of the Michelin racing tire, thus severely impacting the performance and competitiveness of the #28 Corvette.
Furthermore- GM, Corvette Racing, and Fehan have blocked the LG Motorsports #28 Corvette from being FIA homologated which would allow for the chassis to race internationally.
These actions lead to LG Motorsports pulling the #28 from GT2 competition and further depleting privateer competition in the top tier of professional motorsports.
By signing this petition you are assisting LG Motorsports in allowing the Corvette owner and motorsport enthusiast voice to be heard in support of LG Motorsports, privateer racing, and against the collusive politics demonstrated by GM, Corvette Racing, and Fehan.
Please pass this petition onto your friends, your fellow fans, and support LG Motorsports, support privateer racing, and support the free market trade principles which have enable this country to enjoy sportscars and Motorsport for nearly 100 years.

If you cant win on the track without blocking people then you dont deserve to be there. GM needs to cut the monopoly act and let the best team win.
bring back the GT2 car! let them race!
lou has done so much for the corvette community it is sad to see gm treating them like this. competition is what makes racing great not hiding behind lawyers
Just let them race. The fans want to see the 28 car back on track.
Always loved the #28 car. Really unfair how they were pushed out of the series.

Total garbage. GM should be ashamed of themselves for freezing out privateers.
