| Personal Message: |
I am honored to be part of this group. I absolutely love pace cars and can't think of a better way to serve other pace car enthusiasts out there. My love for pace cars began in 1978 when my girlfriend's dad bought one and let me drive it. I always loved Corvettes, but the 1978 pace car was the first Corvette I ever drove. I was 16 years old. I bought my first Corvette in 2006, but when I retired in 2019 I knew I just had to have a 1978 pace car of my own. So, I bought one and I haven't stopped buying pace cars since. As your 1986 pace car director, I am committed to helping you enjoy your pace car as much as possible whether that's answering the questions you have or keeping you updated on pace car related events. Whatever you need, just ask and I will do all I can to help you. |
