I'm also a huge Corvette guy. I got my first one (1973 coupe) when I was 19. I've had lots of them over the years, but my favorite was that first one. I got it to run a 9.16 @ 151 all motor. I owned it for about 20 years. I sold it to help finance the current car. I just sold my 1968 427, 4-speed ragtop last summer, too (that stung!). I currently have the 84 and a black 1994 coupe with a 6-speed and nitrous (12.03 @ 119).
I've met Zora, I have a set of autographed Larry Shinoda prints from The Special Collection in 1988, and I once got teary-eyed when looking at a genuine L-88 coupe.
Yep, I'm sick with this. lol

This url won't work as it was shortenend by the CF. Excuse my ignorance, I don't know how to post these. Most of you have seen this one but for those who haven't go to the vettedoctors site and I'm sure you will find it.

Thanks for all of the cool comments! It's my baby!
That car looks a lot like Randy Eakins' C4 that he used to run in NSCA Super Street years ago.

Good looking ride, and it's flat getting with it.

I dig it.

It's the same car! He had a 5-speed (!!) in it back then.

Rock! I'm glad that car is still around. Randy is a super cool guy and he was WAY ahead of the curve when it came to turbo charging engines for drag racing.

I recall seeing that car in Columbus about two years ago. I was up there at a Viper event with a friend of mine and the car was out there in their Friday night class races. I think the car had most, it not all, of the field covered.

Small world.

I used to watch it run locally and be amazed everytime it went down the track. Owning it is nothing less than a dream come true for me.
