Thanks much! It was a hoot to drive the car almost 2,000 miles and get such a high raw score. I learned a few things I didn't know about the car (like the fact that I had a broken fuel line clip on top of the A/C "suitcase"). Mirrock to the rescue there. The road west of Denver beat the heck out of the car (rough), but she ran great in the desert. We saw 111 on the outside temp gauge for a while, but as long as I was moving the coolant temp was reading 195. And, on the way out of the arena at the end of the show, it was fun to let the crowd hear "The King" through headers.

What you didn't hear, but I did because my window was down and I was right next to him, was KC Strawmeyer (chief of the load-out crew) say "there's one in every crowd". KC wasn't impressed at all. NCRS Nats isn't a Saturday morning cars-n-coffee.

C.mon Doug,
Can't you see that Dave's accomplishment warrants knowing the numbers?
Why of course no one cares at all about how many ZR-1's have Top Flighted.

Some numbers are more equal than others.

Look at the bright side......
Now your resto mod non numbers matching a thing car can earn an award.
But I suggest you don't ask how many of those there are either.

I see where they may have some difficulty as the award is only valid while the owner who top flighted it still owns it.
They should be able to tell you the number that have been awarded, but obviously they choose not to.
Perhaps once it becomes a "paid for" service things might change.
I understand your frustration, but it is "their" information so they can do as they choose.
If those numbers were known maybe it would show things like more big block mid years have top flighted than were originally built or something equally as distressing.
I do admire your persistence though, as it has never wavered.
I award you the "Bulldog" Gold award!
:cheers:
Marty

This was a focused effort for a Sam Folz Award (Longest driven distance to Nationals, awarded Top Flight with driven credits, which I didn't need) which was successful. Only 21 members have a Sam Folz, this was my second, and the first Sam Folz with a ZR-1.

How about drop it with the "how many top flight ZR-1 in NCRS?" It's not going to be known how many Top Flight ZR-1. But the number of Sam Folz ZR-1 is known: One.

Congrats on your award! You certainly earned it. That mileage amount must be close to if not the record for longest driven ever!
