This in response to statements about some of the messages posted in reference to comments and non-members,pass words,codes etc. This is my opinion only.
My introduction to cars goes back to the mid-60's.I've owned now 7 corvettes,my first a 61 when I was 18 yrs old, over 30 years ago, a 64, a 76, all of these modified and I raced with engines up to 454 c.i.,and gears as low as 5.38s. I then owned an 87 conv, 2 90s, one a stock coupe the other a new ZR1. Now I'm the owner of a stock 67 B/B L-71 coupe which I'm not going to race but am restoring. I have had countless other cars from 69-70 Z/28s Camaros and even restored a 65 GTO and 70 442. I am no longer a young kid from the sixties looking for the next red light to prove I could blow off someones doors. I blew up enough eng/trans/rear end parts to cover half of N/Cal back then.
When I started to restore this 67 coupe I wasn't a member but after searching the web found that the NCRS had some sharp people with good info.to provide me as I don't know everything there is about corvettes or even come close to knowing what some of the NCRS members do.
As an professional engineer I was told along time ago there is no such thing as a stupid question. I'm sure some feel that there are some posted sometimes. Even those questions seem to get a pretty good scoop on whatever the subject matter is because most of us know that may be just the answer that person needs to repair/replace/purchase or just need the proper direction.
I would think we are all in NCRS probably for the same reason. Knowledge of the car and fun of the hobby and the great access to other minds which can answer questions the books can't tell you. I'm proud to say I'm a member of the NCRS. And thank those of you who do take the time to help out others with your time in answering questions of all sorts.Best Regards,GRR#33570
