Need a favor - tote a crank to Gathering

[rkreigh]

Hi folks,

Need a favor from one of the WAZOO/Northern VA gang. I have a LT5 crank that a buddy bought and I need someone to take it down to the gathering in May. it's my 30th anniversary and I won't be able to make it this year, but I'lll be toughing it out in Hawaii so it won't be too bad ;)

please PM or email me if you are going and have a little room to take it with you.

thanks!!

TTT

can anyone from NOVA area help me out with this?

thanks!

[rkreigh]

can anyone going down to BG give me some help and tote this crank to the Gathering.

I will make it worth your while (dinner and a ride in the LSV or the TT vette)

thanks!

can meet up with you and bring the crank (it's boxed up, and not too heavy)

fits neatly in the back hatch, doesn't take up too much room

I would really appreciate it. the new crank owner will save a bunch of gas or shipping costs

help the ex prez out. thanks!

[RHanselman]

Can you get it to ATL? Ill drag it from there...

[rkreigh]

thx ron. won't be able to get the crank to hotlanta

but thanks very much for offering to help.

how is that raptor TT ZR-1 doing! hopefully you are getting some stick time.

I've been driving the hot rods quite a bit lately, weather has been great this week.

I am with Wazoo and am available to assist. I live in Ellicott City, MD and will be driving down to BG on Wednesday with some other Wazoo members.

thanks so much Charlie

PM me and we can meet up sometime soon and I'll bring the crank up your way

FYI,

Dave McClellan is going to be at Great Falls Car's and Coffee next week

quite a few ZR-1s come out. It will be great to see Dave again!

he's the "god father" of the ZR-1 and my fav corvette engineer

without Dave no doubt the ZR-1 wouldn't have happened

[dredgeguy]

Thanks Ron,
Sent you an email.

[Paul Workman]

Oh, hell... I'd be more than happy to "tote" that crank to BG...in the bottom end of my LT5. I promise to keep it warm and oiled for an unlimited length of time...NO CHARGE!:dancing

Ron,

Dave McCllelen is visiting great falls cars & coffe?
May I ask how you know?

Ron K,

Charlie lives just north of me in Ellicott City, if you can drop off the crank at my other place in Alexandria, I can relay it to Charlie on the way back to Columbia and save you both a trip.
LMK,

Jeff

sure,

I was there Sat morning and they had a poster out and handout flyers

Sat, May 4th, 8:30-9:30 Dave Mclellan Corvette Chief Engineer 75-92

for anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of meeting Dave he's one of the nicest and most "approachable" Corvette engineer and a key factor in getting the ZR-1 through the bean counters.

His unwavering commitment to excellence, made the ZR-1 a "no compromise" vehicle that performed with the worlds finest at the time regardless of price and put the corvette on the map as more than competitive with any of the exotics costing many times the price

in many ways, his efforts "raised the bar" for all corvette's that followed and truly began the widespread quality control, CNC machining, and use of advanced aluminum engines with super tight tolerances and durability testing

I'm very glad to say Dave is my friend and I really look forward to seeing him

He's attended a very high percentage of the gatherings and continues to work on some very advanced engineering projects today being involved with Mosler and other advanced efforts.

if you haven't read his book, I highly recommend you pick up a copy for him to autograph, my bet is that he'll have a stash of them there at a discounted price

Dave is the proud "father of the ZR-1" and has some really great stories to tell both in his book and in person.

come on out.

thanks Jeff. I'll take you up on that.

we'll hook up this weekend and I'll get Charlie's address.

thanks so much for helping me out.

hope to see you at Katie's this weekend. you will really dig it and it will be fun to see dave.

there's a guy with a Hemi Superbee that comes out pretty often as well as a Hemi Roadrunner.

[zrwhat]

Will do Ron...

Had the Hemi RR out this past weekend and went to the Marley Station cruise in Glen Burnie, was jam packed with a little bit of everything, guy parked next to me had a 67 Vette Coupe with a LS-9 in it along with the late model suspension, that thing was neat as hell.., He brought a gun to a stick fight!

You need to bring the Firechicken up there sometime.

[rkreigh]

that would be fun stuff! Charlie is going out to cars and coffee on Sat so I'll bring the crank. if for any reason he can't make it I'll hook up with you sometime this weekend.

thanks Gibby, really enjoyed the ride in the Hemi, I need to get a ride in the Jeal! we need to get that bad boy to the track someday soon.


I have a set of hoosiers I need to "use up" if you need to borrow them.

weather should be good very soon. sorry I couldn't make the Mason Dixon digs, sounds like that was a great day.

Phil turned a 12.08 which is very impressive for his 95 which is pretty close to stock I believe.
