Laguna Seca Raceway hosted the 2007 season finale of the American Le Mans Series featuring the highly anticipated "Jake" The Skull C6R's stunning paint scheme.
The "Jake" skull mascot is the brainchild of designer Eddie Jabbour of Kick Design. His iconic image has been popularized on the badboyvettes.com website.
"Jake first appeared on the cars at Le Mans in 2005," Jabbour recalled. "Soon he was on the team uniforms, their travel shirts, and on the drivers' helmets. It was in sync with what they were about, and the fans recognized that. Now people are flipping out that there are going to be two Jake cars at the last race."
"We wanted to do something special for Laguna Seca, and the guys on the team are totally behind Jake," said Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan. "He's a little edgy, urban, and underground. Young fans get it. The special Jake cars are a one-time only deal, just for fun, to make the last race of season memorable for the fans."
