Hmmm, I did'nt even know that. I wonder if someone knows that answer! It might be in the catagory of useless info.

I got this off EBAY!!
Meet "Jake" the Corvette Racing Team Mascot !!!
The C6.R Racing Mascot was inspired by a flaming skull drawing and a "Take no Prisoners" message scrawled on the Corvette pit wall at Le Mans in 2004.
At Le Mans the next year this Mascot, called "Jake" by the team, was proudly displayed on the two C-6 Racers as they triumphed again in their GT-1 class. Jake has been on the winning 'Vettes ever since - both at Le Mans and in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).
And now you can proudly display "Jake" the Corvette Racing Mascot
