I was working in New Mexico and found out one of the MCN founders lived near by. I got in touch with him and we ate lunch together. Ray is an awesome Corvette guy. I had no idea what was in stored for me. In his shop, he has the old NCM Annex banner. That's exactly what his shop was. I had never see anything like this outside of a museum. You know you've done something really special when you have a photo of the legendary David Hill wanting your autograph.

If Ray didn't have a fan club, he has one now.

Thank you Ray for everything you've done for the Corvette community!

Did you know he's a member of the NCM Hall of Fame?
Truly a great honor!

Mrs Zippy & I were at his induction dinner during the annual Labor Day HOF Celebration.

Yep! The DVD that I'm holding in the picture is the induction video. He signed it along with my fuel rail cover.

A funny thing happened to me on the way back to the airport. Ray passed me on the highway. It took everything my rental had to keep up with him. LOL He drives like I do. I need to thank him for the escort to the airport. He left before I could turn my rental in.
