Denny Deal has done it again; hosted another awesome Northwest GTO Legends Car Clinic. Saturday, April 16th, 2005 was a day of revival. Goats and Le Mans lined up to receive the "royal" treatment, and no one left neglected.

Among our attendees were: Brad Barrie, Pietro Aiello, Prez John Pearson, Mark DaCosta, Treasurer Amber Engen, Secretary Wally Santella, Scott & Cheryl Holten, Steve Martin, Erik Bratt, Bill P., Brandon Warren, Rick Rosen, Tom & Vallerie Willett, Tom of Sasco, Bruce Morrison, Kendall Whitlach, Ted Knapp, Tom & Patti DiNuzzo, and myself.

A very productive day was had by all, thanks especially to Wally Santella. All bias aside pops, your work was greatly appreciated and very helpful. Wally showed up early with a full arsenal of tools and equipment and went to town on a handful of cars, including Kendall's, Scott's, and Mark's. Here's a guy who devoted his afternoon to helping everyone else with various electrical/mechanical issues. An inspiring performance, indeed! Thanks again GodFather!

Another big Legends THANKS to Denny Deal and Tom for putting on this event. Your giant warehouse has lent it's endless facility to our Car Clinics on numerous occasions, and this is a textbook example. By the way Denny, I was inspired to see your display of wreckless abandon. If anyone asks about the 400 yards of tire tracks, I won't tell them it was you ;)

Speaking of productivity let's review the "fix list": Mark D and I skated out of there with minimal points for an excellent job of detailing our '05's. Wash, wax and the works! Mark and Pietro assisted me with my shift-restriction-eliminator install too, thanks guys! Kendall Whitlach, Erik Bratt and Amber Engen are reaping the rewards of various electrical/interior repairs. Super Human Scott Holten (with help from the GodFather) replaced his sway bar and rear control arms as well as driver & passenger window weather stripping. You're an animal, Scott! Other fixes that I failed to mention combine to make this a well-executed Car Clinic.
