Probably none of you folks even know me, but some might remember me as the guy who celebrated his 75th birthday strapped in the seat as navigator in Bob Wood's Z06 doing the Aug 2008, Pony 130 open road race. That's the one when Ted Ted Zaleski started exactly one minute behind us in his '90 ZR-1 & about 40 miles down the road passed us doing ~180 mph. He beat us by .338 second at the end of the 130 miles in the 155 mph average mph speed class.
I'm now another year older but still have things in my bucket to get out...I need to go to the 20th anniversary gathering in May but my wife's health prevents her going with me. I really dont want to make that drive alone. Please, if any of you have an empty seat and could accomodate some meat in that seat I promise to keep my mouth shut and be more than willing to help pay the costs of that adventure, or take one of my ZR-1s and we'll make to BG with your help. Thanks, Bill Strowbridge, Oak Harbor, Whidbey Island, WA 360-675-2629 PS: wife says no young ladies can be considered for my offer.

Bill, I will have room on the way down, but I will be spending another week in the south. There are a couple of guys who are driving, I am sure you can catch a ride.
