Super Chevy coverage of SCR11

[sYc]

Frank, blame me. If I asked, I would imagine Bob would allow me to proof most, if not all, of his articles, but here lays the problem.

I do not know everything there is to know about these cars, (who does?) so it would be me spending countless hours contacting owners and doing the research, and even then, not for sure if I would get it 100% correct. This would not be so much of a problem if he were doing a book, when I could fit it into my schedule, but often times he is a day or two away from a deadline.

As the head of the sYc, maybe I should get more involved in this aspect of the club, but to tell you the truth, I would rather spend time with my family, friends and my cars, then proofing articles just because a few A-holes want to "tear us up". After all, they have been attacking us for several years, and it seems the only place it has gotten them is banned from numerous web sites and shows, wallowing in their own self-pity. Who cares what they think?

I for one get a rush every time I see one of our member’s cars in print, warts and all.


BTW, others make mistakes, recently SC online did a nice article on Red Alert, listed Terry Carney and Bill Stephenson as still owning it. That was several owners ago, so not for sure where they got that info. To me, really does not matter, just glad they decided to cover the car.

Ok Tom. I can totally understand your view on the issue. I just wanted to get this out there. If Bob reads this and decides to be more vigilant as any professional would want to be then so be it. If not well then that is ok too I guess.

If he reads this, hopefully he does not decide to say the h-ll with it and stay home. If he does, we are the big losers.

I agree with Tom......We don't need to be so "Nit-Picky" about the wording or Facts.........Look at the "Big" Picture and the coverage the Club and Members get.....That's what's Important.........To Paraprhrase our "New" President........."Words......."Just" words" ...

In Bob's defense I have to say he may have little control over some of the miscues. Many of these writers submit articles to the respective publications and are quite surprised at how the final piece appears when the magazine hits the stands. These submissions cross the desks of a number of 'editors' who alter, delete and modify content and size to fit the allowable space.
Based on conversations with Doug Marion just a few short years ago, he submitted articles to Chevy Rumble and had NO idea when or if they would be published. He actually had to go to the news stand, buy each issue, scan through it to see if any of his articles were included, then prepare an invoice and send to John Dianna for payment.
I had lost interest in Super Chevy for a number of reasons, but now that Bob (and Doug Marion from time to time) is submitting articles on events and cars WE care about, I will pick up certain issues of SC. Sure, there are errors from time to time. And I can say for myself, I probably get more upset when it's in an article about a friend's car than if it were mine.
I'm thinking of a day I spent with Dennis Hartweg at the Secretary of State Show just after he took delivery of the #23 ZL-1. He was parked next to a certain DY Yenko Camaro. The crowd would walk right past Dennis' ZL-1 and stop to stare at the Yenko. He and I were standing behind his car kind of chuckling at what we saw. I made the statement that they obviously had no idea what they had just missed. I recall vividly his response, "It doesn't matter what they think; we know, don't we."

I still miss that man.
