Third time was a charm

[Ed H.]

After driving my 1990 L-98 over a total of 4000 miles and presenting it for two PV's, it failed. It would appear that I had to change my thought process. I decided to get serious.A lot of phone calls were made to Dave Perry and Tom Barr where advise was given and acted upon. Daba-Daba-Do it passed at Lovelend, Co. Special thanks to Dave Perry, who'sknowledge and support made it all possible, especially on the day of the test. Dave saved me from failing, by pointing out how an emergency brake, on a C-4, should operate properly. Every thing worked the first time except the operator. A special thanks to Don Hooper who transported the car to the meet. Don has a lot of patience, as I have a tendency to show my nervousness and can become a bit testy. Now lets see if the car can go forward in Tucson and then back to Colorado for the realization of one of the things on my bucket list.

You did good Ed, and I think it was all because of that chair I loaned you, wait that was after the fact, never mind. Nice talking with you about Corvettes Ed, people like you are one of the reasons I am enjoying NCRS so much. See you at another event soon.

Congrats, Ed!! Tough to do on a C4. So many doo-dahs and functions. Next stop is a National?

Congratulations, Ed. I saw that car at the CCC Los Osos meet last year - very nice. Don can settle anybody down. He's the most unflappable guy I know. JCH

Yes, I understand completely!! At any rate, well done. I might try a PV one of these days. Problem is, my cars are all highly optioned, so there are a lot of things to go wrong!
