Thanks Jim. Introduce yourself next time you are at the Pavillions. I look forward to meeting you.

I did call Wayne today and caught him chopping wood while he waited for his lawn to dry so he could mow it. I started off by wishing him a "happy anniversary" - he didn't miss a beat and knew exactly what I was talking about.

The name is Tuck..........Wayne Tuck.



Dapper Wayne was dressed to the nines on his wedding day doing a great impression (American version) of the infamous James Bond with his faithful (and capable) steed by his side.

Bill - Wayne's Dad recommended the remote control mirror as a safety feature. Wayne's Dad is as influential in his life today as he was back in the 60s. Its an odd option for a hi-po Chevy. How many solid lifter cars out there had remote controlled mirrors? Another important influence on Wayne's life back then (today too) is his little sister (14 yr difference) Rosemary. She attended most of his races and even wrote about him in her school reports. Wayne doted over her like big brothers do and they have always been real close. Wayne asked Rosemary to be the flower girl on his big day...

Very cool photos Sam, and didn't all of the Z16s have remote mirror?

Forgot about this photo. It is blurry, but I found it interesting. This was taken on 2nd day of ownership. Note that the smog equipment is already history!
