Left to right in photo: Ken Crocie who owned H-O Racing at that time, Milt Schornack, Royal Pontiac and Lars Grimsrud, then the President of the GTOAA.

Lars was the reason I quit the GTOAA. He so poorly managed the organization, it was awful. I think I got 5 of my 12 newsletters the last year I was a member.

Hey Brian.

Yep, have a lot of stories about Lars from back then. I was a Chapter Rep when he left the GTOAA after some contention. He is into Corvettes now I hear. That was a great Convention though in 1987. The Columbus Chapter always puts on a very good show.
