A little Blue to go with my Red?

[Chris E.]

Yup, I got it. Top Flight at the Heartland Chapter Meet.




It's amazing what 440 hours, countless vendors and large amounts of help from the NCRS community will get a guy these days. 96.6% top flight first time out.

Big thanks to MANY members from the NCRS family, to Ron Hendrickson from my chapter for hauling my little red car down to Iowa, and to the Heartland Chapter for putting on a nice show.

THANKS!

Here are some pictures.

Loaded up, ready for the 325 mile one way trip to Iowa. (hey, even the TRAILER is red )





Arriving at Stalker Chevrolet, Saturday morning.


Inside the service bay for the event, with Old Glory flying overhead.





Back home safe and sound in the Twin Cities, with a little more Blue than I had originally.

Re: A little Blue to go with my Red?

Congratulations, Chris ! That's awesome and well deserved after all your hard work. There is no question that our cars are a labor of love that is hard for most people outside the Corvette World to understand. Hell, I baby mine like it's one of my kids, and buy it gifts like it's my wife! Now, proudly display that ribbon in a safe location and, most of all, drive and enjoy your little red Corvette! There's nothing better than being behind the wheel of our great cars on an open road... with the top down!

All the best,
Roger (50141)

Hi Chris,
I love RED cars, and yours certainly fits the bill!!!! It looks beautiful in that service area, I can only imagine how terrific it looks at about 50mph on a nice country road.
WELL DONE.
Regards,
Alan

Re: A little Blue to go with my Red?

Congratulations Chris!
I took a look at your corvette several times throughout the day, beautiful car! I spent most of my time helping judge the 1960 (Chassis & Mechanical) & the 1980 (Interior). It was an enjoyable day and hats off to the Heartland Chapter for hosting the great event! Some may view the time judging these corvettes as work, but the education and friendships we gain from these events are priceless. Enjoy your Corvette and be proud of what you have accomplished!

Re: A little Blue to go with my Red?

Thanks guys, for all the kind words.

And thanks to the JUDGES in Iowa for giving of their time and talents. I thought I knew a lot about my car, having completely taken it apart and put it back together again. But I learned a great deal over the weekend.

Now, if I can just get that silly license light to start working again......

Onward and upward.

You will see me and my little red car again in Iowa, next May for the Regional.

Congrats Chris. I enjoyed meeting you and looking over your car. You have done well. Here's a couple photos I have.

Until we cross paths again...probably at the Des Moines Regional next May!
