Default Reminiscing

I was going through some old car photos and came across a bunch from a September 2014 trip to Mercury Marine (actually Mercury Racing) in Fon Du Lac Wisconsin. So I thought I would share a few here. It was a great trip and I would hope it could be done again. We brought I believe 10 ZR-1s carrying 13 folks (as far as I can tell from the pics). It was an especially moving visit because the folks at Mercury were so excited about the heritage of the ZR-1 and their involvement. They treated us to a tour of their factory (not the much bigger main plant), a big barbecue lunch and a car show that included not only our 10 ZR-1s but lots of cars owned by Mercury employees. We also got a tour of the Mercury Outboards museum, which showcases Mercury's history of outboard motors and also houses their '95 Black ZR-1 in the middle of the floor. We had a little ceremony in which we presented them with one of Lee (lgaff) Gaffigan's fine MAP sensor covers with the serial number of their '95 (Can't recall the actual number but I am sure someone can find it). Enjoy --Bob
