----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

I have Always drooled all over RED ALERT..I went to every Nostalgia race at Milan Dragway, Martin 131 dragway, and others.. I had a red 70 chevelle frt. end hanging on my wall of my Garage with a License plate Evil Mean wicked and nasty.. It's the car that got me into chevelles.
Wish I hadn't missed out when Tom and Rob was selling it.. A day late-- story of my life [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
