Sorry, this bothers me….we had special banners made to go by the roadside on 57 as we know, a ton of extra traffic, Corvette folks and sports car fans alike will be traveling by going to Road America…

The Road America organization is wonerful and we also proudly were displaying their American Lemans Welcome Race Fans banners…..

Then I drive in this morning;


….and some aholes…parked their cars, walked about 20 yards and cut down the banners that were tied very well….an awfully big effort to be disrespectful!!!!!Got a little something for ya punks;


Now I know it was not the Corvette people….must have been those P—— or F—— ones that did this.

Either way looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow in the Corvette Corral at Road America.
Thank-you

That sucks. They were abused as children or dropped on their heads. No excuse for that crap.

Hey Rick,, as they say,,, you can't fix stupid.The Haters have to live with their sorry selfs. Can you make another banner and reinstall it? Take the high road, just to show them.

They're jealous, and poor losers. They know the Corvette is the fastest.

Some people never grow up. As was stated earlier . . . they were abused as children, probably never bre__st feed or something.

Have a great time . . . take lots of pics and post please.

They just cut them down or take them as souvenirs? Nice banners look good on the walls at home...

Sorry, Rick, I couldn't resist taking them as souvenirs!

Just kidding. Any chance the police can investigate and nail the perps?

You did have approval to mount the banners there? State property/right of way? Private property?

Might have been a reaction similar to mine when I find For Sale/For Lease or Political signs on my property.

Karma will eventually repay them - when they least expect it.
