----Nope, he never did. Terry, God rest his soul, could do almost nothing mechanical. He knew good cars and knew how to buy and sell them and he was a superior promoter, as well as a great and loyal friend......Bill S

These pictures saddened me because until I found them in my attic I didn't remember even being at the show. Only thing I can remember is going over to his pit spot but nothing else of the day(s). And I'm a non-drinker/smoker/drug user!
Can find all the pics here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/279400805433711/ It is a secret group so you'll have to probably sent a friend request to see posts.

Bill, I remember like it was yesterday, that you showed up with Red Alert at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI on a Wednesday night in the early 90's.
I will never forget how hard that car launched!!! Good times, good times! Speaking of Terry Carney, I can still remember how much fun I had riding shotgun with him in his 1969 L89 Corvette all the way from Chicago to Bloomington, IL Corvette show. I must have been 9-10 years old. I just remember it was loud and hotter than hell!! I loved every minute of it! RIP Terry Regards, Dave

----Dave,,,Good to hear from you as always! I remember that night well.
----The Corvette was the maroon t-top, right? I detailed that 69 for judging that year. While going over the tail-light area I took everything off to polish the area and forgot to re-hook up the harness to the license-plate light, Terry got dinged on that and his Irish temper worked its way to the surface. He got a silver anyway, but figured that he might have receieved a gold if I hadn't dropped the ball. Two Irish tempers at work, but we got over it after a couple of beers,,,LOL!!! Wonder what happened to that L89.....Bill S |

Yes Bill, It was the maroon L89. I had a smile from ear to ear the whole way down. In typical Terry fashion, he was not lacking in the conversation department.LOL
Always a barrel of laughs! Ol' Carndog Regards, Dave
