I enjoyed this the last time, I may stop by again. I got the Corvette Thunder book when I was there, but I've been so busy, I haven't read much yet .

I went to the last one as well and I HIGHLY recommend it! I could sit and listen to Mr G tell Corvette stories all day long.

I also had him autograph his book for me, it's an amazing history of Corvette racing. Not to be missed!

Have fun!~~~Patrick

Dick is a great guy and has lots of stories about the old days. Be sure to ask him about the time they "borrowed" a fan's radiator to complete the race. That one cracked me up.
