Not LS-6 @Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas 2019

[SS427]

It happens all the time. I get the call after someone has bought the car and want me to inspect it. I am then the asshole when I tell them the car is fake, has fake paperwork, non original drivetrain, etc.

On the flip side I apologized to a customer once for the inspection (pre-purchase) costing so much and being able to disqualify the car within 15 minutes of arriving. He responded with, are you kidding? You just saved me $150,000! That put a new perspective on things for me.

The builder of the car in this thread needs to go to jail and it is up to us that are true hobbyist to see that these people pay hefty fines or do some jail time. LS6's have been very soft as of late and I think we can attribute some of it to these people ruining for others.

----The picture of Bill Porterfield and Ronnie Sox was taken at Quaker City. The weekend was called Field of Dreams. I can't remember for sure but Grady Burch may have been there with his COPO Chevelle. Bill did what he stated before the weekend really started and then broke. I was asked to step in with Red Alert even though Ronnie's and my times were about 3/4 of a second apart. The Hemi Cuda actually belonged to Dale Smith (RIP), my long time close friend from Bloomington IL. and he paid Ronnie to drive that weekend. Dale owned OEM Glass. We finally bargained to a 1/2 second, as I just wanted to say I raced the famous R.Sox. Ronnie wasn't used to someone leaving a half second ahead of him and stood the Hemi on the rear bumper. I got of a little crooked and later found out that I scared some of the photographers so much they ran back from the railing, but Red Alert always landed well. Meanwhile Ronnie hit the ground so hard that he holed the oil pan. He either didn't know it or didn't care and tried to catch me, but I won by a whisker! It's infinetly better saying you beat Ronnie Sox than just saying you raced Ronnie Sox!!! LOL......Bill S

Now THAT is a great story! And seriously, if there's something to brag about regardless of the surrounding circumstances, it's beating Ronnie Sox. Congrats, that was brilliant.

It sure would be nice if the GM docs surfaced, I know it won't happen. That would be must see TV!
