Ron Fellows is a great driver, a favorite of mine. But there is an American named Johnny O that also drives that great American Corvette! They all make up a great team.

Hi Guys, When I posted this It was not to start a flame or anything, But it seems I might have started a spark. And if so, I want to extinguish it right here. I just adore corvettes and love my C5. If it was built somewhere else I would still love it! But its great that it is built in North America, USA/ Canada. The Corvette racing team is hot and I certainly hope they (We) remain this way! No matter what nationallity drives, it is great for Corvette to win. However I would like to say that there has not been too many Canadian drivers let alone champions so when Ron Fellows wins, it adds a little to the win for this Canadian, as IM sure it would do for you if Johnny won. Also if Ron ever reads this forum he will see that he does have people pulling for him!

Larry, I wasn't trying to start a flame either. I am sorry if it seemed that way. I do agree that they all make a great team. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings... :lol:

By the way, I met Ron Fellows at Mid-Ohio. He seems to be a very genuine person. A great ambassador for Canadians.

Yeh I met him also, last year at the Ls1 and Ls6 engine plant in St.Catherines Ontario. He signed my fuel rail cover and took several pictures with me. He was there again this year. You are right he is a great guy!
