Richard Buxbaum driving Grand Sport #1 with Jerome Shinkay. Bill Locke (vette vues magazine) taking pic's. Richard was doing burnouts and donuts on the lawn of the show field.
I don't remember the year but probably around early-mid 80's?
Bloomington 1979. Corvette News had a big article on the car in their Feb/Mar 1980 issue and Vette Vues had it on the cover for their Vol.8 no.2 issue.
I may have told you that. Last time I was at my daughter's house in Ocala, I looked around in the neighborhood where I was told it might be. Mike Cobine/s (member here) buddy is the guy who said it might be in Ocala.
That car had less than 15K miles on it when you got it? Might of had 12K when I tried to get it.
I just found a picture of the speedo and it shows 43,xxx miles when at the Bloomington event.
That was THE HOTTEST weather ever for the '88 Bloomington.
My 67 is somewhere in the panoramic, still have my Earthquake 88 Tee shirt too, but is has shrunk quite a bit

I definitely remember that day. I was judging. One of the girls from the tab room was bringing lemonade to all the judges all day.
I could barely see my red 63 cp. in a rear row. Mike and Bob J. were two of the judges that judged my car that day.
I can't remember who the other judge was. That was a thrill to get a gold that day. And Yes it was HOT.

Original owner Jerry DeVries with one of the nicest totally UNrestored 64's anywhere at the 1978 event. Incredible original paint and interior and untouched everything. I'm sure several folks remember Jerry and his incredible car. Thanks to Bob Jorjorian for the picture.
I know Dad / I took video of the L88s coming from the Bone Student Center to the Fairgrounds in '88. I put the footage on CD a few years back and am trying to locate. Amazing that one of the Grand Sport (white convertible, can't recall the number) was actually DRIVEN (novel idea ) to the fairgrounds as well. Almost every L88 'lit 'em up' on the way in to the fairgrounds, amazing for a boy of 14 to witness.

P.S. Ed McComas, it's becoming harder and harder for ME to believe I was ever that young....
I guess that there are other things us guys look at besides Corvettes. LOL We had one before the burnouts started at the Holiday inn on my trailer with John D & Terry M. GREAT TIMES. Never be anything like it again.

Jim Pervis had the car in 1990. In time we all discovered it was the old PENSKE Roadster GS-001 shown here.

It was in 1982 NOT 92 as I stated in the picture post. Fat finger.
Just got this pic from Bob Jorjorian. I don't remember the year. Robert Barrett receiving his Gold cert. From left, Jorjorian, Hanson, Barrett and Bob Lejewski. RIP Bob L.
