Attn: Makers Mark Road Tour participants!!

I had some problems with my car while I was on "KY 222". I was down to reduced power and two of the 4 cylinders I had left were misfiring. I stopped to check under the hood and saw nothing obviously wrong. I checked my GPS when it happened and I had 78 miles to get back to Bowling Green. It was a pretty uneasy feeling, at the least, to be disabled so far away from home or a Chevy dealership.

The point is this>

Two other vettes stopped and followed me to I-65, and later Ed (in another/his Z)followed me all the way to Campbell Chevrolet in Bowling Green.

Turned out to be a fuse that disabled my left bank and blew about 35 codes into the system. All the hard driving loosened a ground behind the intake manifold and that did it. FYI

I know I and we all would have done the same and many people didn't even realize I had a problem with the car. I just want to say a special "Thank You" to those that stayed behind with me. It meant a lot to me.

Thank you!!

Frank

I don't know if you remember but I was the Red Z that went around the three of you on the way back. I got off track originally so I was a little behind and by myself. I noticed all three of you going slow and figured something might be wrong with one of the cars but didn't know which car it might have been (guess it turned out to be yours! ). I knew it wasn't all three so I figured the other two were making sure you made it back ok. Glad to hear it wasn't anything too major and hopefully your Z is all back to normal now. Good to see other Z brothers helping out!

I remember many people stopped to ask if I was okay. Everyone was great.

yeh Ed thank you for helping me at MM with the front fascia on the vette! That was very kind of you to get your tool box out it was VERY close to falling off.

I got it lifted today, looks like the entire fascia was coming off so got it permanently fixed
