    I may have jumped the Gun

    What can I say?After a while I went back to this forum and read the response I posted saying good by. I dint expect the surprised that I got by so many . Your comments are greatly appreciated , I was worried I was posting to often and being to blunt in my answers.
    Last year was the first time I entered any Corvette in NCRS , in more then 20 years which was the 55 at the NCRS Chapter meet (Berkley a PINK ladies choice ) and National meet (Park City a first flight ). Starting SACE kept me away from NCRS for many years and I was not to well liked for doing that.
    Even tho I've helped and started other organizations I never cared to get involved in politics , master judging or pushing myself on any one, I just love cars and Corvettes , when I was young I was a mechanic on Corvettes for a GM dealer in the late 60's. Because other mechanics then din' t like working on them. I bought many 53 to 57 for $100.00, I was fascinated with the FI units and went around to wrecking yards buying them for $20.00 each , many were given to me because no one wonted or knew much about them. I took power tops out of vetts too, to understand how they worked, I like fooling around on cars keeping them original but most of all driving them. I don't care what any one els does with their Corvette if their happy with it (that's why I started SACE), I just don't care much about flight judging and my wife and I were really surprised the 55 did so well , I just like helping people keep their Corvette running and original .
    I'll stay with the forum after all if I can still help some one ,like so many other people helped me years ago .

      You know there must be some people who care about you, and your opinions. We were about to send a delegation up Highway 49 to you. I guess we need an NCRS event in the Gold Country, Sierra-Nevada's among the Ponderosa Pines.

      Best Wishes,

                  Glad to see you are back! You have literally gone out of your way to be a help to me. The only thing I ask is you stay put longer at events, I missed you twice at Tahoe! I'll always make it a point to visit, it is the hobby that matters, not the politics.

                    Welcome back. You may have made a new record, with 1159 hits on your post when I posted this one. That makes you one popular guy.

                    Either that or everyone was checking to see if you were really leaving.

                      Roy,

                      We will probably never meet because we are at the opposite ends of the country. However, losing anybody with first hand knowledge of these cars will never be good. Welcome back!!!!!!!

                        Hi Roy:

                        Just kinda reflecting on Warner Grossmueller, and life in general. Each day is a gift from God. I spoke to him a few short weeks ago. Life should never be taken for granted.

                        While some may not express appreciation for what you continue to do for the Corvette hobby there are a lot of folks who don't reply to your informative pictures and posts but do make a copies of them for their records (me included). You are looked up to as one of the "hard cores" on here and, in a sense, the final word on many discussions.

                        Great to have you back

                        Randy #45471.
