Dave, Thanks for sharing this podcast. I have been a long time Corvette enthusiast and really enjoyed seeing the actual video of the 1957 Sebring race. That certainly was an exciting time for Corvette. Very interesting to see the early drivers and Zora so passionate about the car and its future. Looking forward to your next piodcast. Best Regards, Tom

Your bringing the past to the present with the Bill Milliken interview embraces my vision on how we should and are preserving automotive history.

Anytime, any place a vehicle dynamics engineer gets a chance to talk to or listen to Bill Milliken, it is a pleasure and honor. I’ve know Bill for more years than I want to remember (almost 40) and he’s basically the guy I’d like to model myself after. Great podcast! Really enjoyed Bill’s stories as well as all of his books - Dan Metz

Hi Dave
Keep up the good work on interviewing Corvette racers of days gone by. They all have a special story to tell that needs to be captured.

Zora’s drive in the Corvette reminds me of the time of our first meeting when I drove Zora in my 63 and Brian drove your charming wife in the Fun-Fest parade. Zora’s first words in my Vette were, “ehhhhhhh, high perrrrformance” as he checked out the tach. What a treat for both myself and my son. Thanks for the memories.
Gary, Father of Brian.

Dave….being a Corvette fanatic for about 50 years, I really love what you are doing with respect to these podcasts….you are doing an awesome job with them. I really appreciate you making the effort to bring this great information to the public. The Corvette along with the “people of Corvette” is simply fascinating and intriqueing….I love the history and personalites of the Corvette…and can’t get enough of it . The Sebring podcast was simply awesome….seeing actual video of the ‘57 Corvette along with the SS from 51 years ago is a dream come true for a Corvette enthusatic….please keep them coming.

Regards and Thanks!

Dave,
Thanks for this interview with John. He is such a gentleman and an encyclopedia of early racing information. I had the pleasure of having a few meals with him when we were all at the Precision Valley Corvette Museum for your book signing tour in 2002. (see link http://www.corvettesconquercancer.com/pvcm.htm)
His hearing is pretty bad, and at one point he told me why. I assumed that it was the result of years of driving race cars. Actually, it happened when he was a POW in Germany in WWII after being shot down. A bunch of prisoners were housed in boxcars, and from the inside the percussion of the nearby allied bombing was what cost him his hearing!
I always enjoy seeing him at Lime Rock, where he was the first track manager when it got started back in the 50s.
Thanks again for this interview, Dave.
Ben

Dave, I really appreciate your site and the insight you bring to us. My initial reaction to this interview was that it was dull and lacked meat. The guest drifted too often from the questions you asked making it hard to follow, BUT then I quickly remembered John Fitch’s age. I doubt few his age could equal his mental capacity. After that I feasted on his every word and what a treasure his comments were. I am very greatful to you for the interview and to Mr. Finch for sharing his role in Corvette history. I had lust in my heart from the first moment I saw the “town rich kid” (Elgin Ill) driving down the main street in the late spring of 1954, in what I felt the most beautiful white 2 seat sports car I’d ever seen. I knew then I must have one… at least someday which finally came 18 years later! Thanks again, Bill

Ric,
You asked about the value of the Sounds of Corvette record. I have no idea what its value is but if you go to Ebay and try to but it you’ll find out.
