Campbell's Corvette Special was entered in the Santa Barbara SCCA race on September 3rd, 1961. It ran as high as 3rd with Bob Harris at the wheel before it luck changed after overheating. A month later, at the Times-Mirror Grand Prix at Riverside, Harris finished 13th overall out of 33 cars. Two weeks later, the Special finished 2nd overall at Las Vegas.
When completed, the car made its restoration debut at the 2005 Monterey Historics.
