Recently I recieved an email from Bruce Troxell, Bruce is a writer for the Examiner.com. Bruce writes articles on Corvettes and I must say they are very interesting articles. Well, Bruce wanted to write an article on the 1978 Pace Car to include the work I did in finding the 4 original 78 Pace Cars. I gave him the okay and today he emailed me part 1 of the article. I was actually thrilled that he asked my permission, usually people just steal my stuff online, like the 3 guys who used pictures of my vehicles to sell their stuff on eBay. Heres the article:

I will post part 2 of the article in about a week after he sends it to me.

So far this is a very acurate article on the Pace Car. On the page with the article is a PREVIOUS button, if you click on that it will take you back through his previous Corvette articles. Your right Jeff, all my info will be in part 2.

The Examiner is an online newspaper and Bruce's section is called the Fairfax Corvette Examiner.

Okay Part 2 is done, below is the link. I personally think Bruce did an awesome job writing this article. Bruce actually owns a 1978 Pace Car and was a member on here at one time but he made the mistake of letting his membership expire

Way to go Mark. I know how hard you worked to gather all of that info. I still look forward to seeing your book on the subject in the future!

Book! Sounds like a great idea. We might be able to get Mark to do a book signing. Always great to see a pace car article. Thanks Mark.
