Default Headed to the Vette Doctors

Dropping my 95 off at the Vette Doctors on Friday. It has not been running right since last year at the Vette vs Viper up at New England Dragway.

The last time the Vette Doctors worked on her was just before the 03 season Watch out guys I might actually make it to the first round

Joe, good luck getting your car straightened out. It would be great to get you back in the mix at the Challenge.

What is it doing BTW?

Overheating. Doesn't appear to be the radiator, thermostat or water pump. I cleaned out any debris that was up behind the radiator shroud. Possibly a head gasket problem - but I will leave that for the experts at the Vette Doctors. I just want to drive the cars.

Hope to see you at the track.

Joe

I don't think of them as just "general practitioners" but rather "specialists,"....though I don't think Carmen would pass for a brain surgeon.
