I have had the priilege of growing up during my racing years around Delmo Johnson. I am sure I do not need to tell anyone who he is. I thought you guys might like to see the restoration of Grand Sport #4, if you have not seen it. It is impressive and worth the viewing.

I looked at that website awhile back... the level of detail and accuracy of the restoration is amazing... even the documentation of the entire process via the website is impressive. I can't even imagine the time/expense invested in that car. They definitely had a "whatever it takes" approach. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

The '63 ZO6 Corvette that Delmo raced at Sebring was restored and displayed by Ken and Gary Nabers at the 2004 Waco Regional in a vintage race car tribute. My old '67 and '68 June Sprints winning '64 Corvette was displayed next to the ZO6, truly two great old Corvette race cars. I know that Delmo also raced the Grand Sport that Alan Servegien owned as Alan was too young to race it.
You must have had fun growing up in that racing atmosphere.
