Sad.
John is the reason I got my corvette into drag racing.
When I first got a computer and a internet service in 2001, I immediately joined corvetteforum.com. I would see his posts and avatar and it had his red '96 with Weld Prostar rims doing a burnout at E-town. All that white smoke coming out from the back tires.....
I don't have that pic but
Here is pic created by a corvetteforum member:
I just thought it was THE neatest most badass C4 I ever saw and wanted mine to look like his. And this is mine:
It pales in comparison to his beautiful machine.
He would post about the East Coast Corvette Challenge all corvette drag racing series at Englishtown and I wished there was something like that in SoCal.
Well, it did happen and I would go race my vette at Palmdale and Fontana. I got hooked and have had so much fun.
Thank you John for inspiring me all the way out here on the West coast 3000 miles away.
