Dave McLellan at Katies Great Falls

[rkreigh]

Sat, May 4th, 8:30-9:30 Dave Mclellan Corvette Chief Engineer 75-92 at Katie's "Cars and Coffee"

lots of the Wazoo gang hang out there and this is a great opportunity for the NOVA locals to meet and greet Dave. do a google search on Cars and Coffee Great Falls and you'll see what this event is all about.

lots of vettes, exotics, muscle cars, electrics, more variety than I would ever imagine, it's a free car show every weekend and a really nice bunch of serious car guys to hand out with.

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.
