Zora Arkus-Duntov The Brilliant Innovator

[olredalert]

I spent many hours with Zora at different Corvette shows. He really liked Danny Gale (one of the main boosters of the Corvette Museum, and a good friend of mine, RIP)) to be at the shows with him as they drank about the same copious amounts of alcohol. At one of the national NCRS meets north of Boston Zora was given a golf cart to use to go up and down a long hill up to the host hotel. Zora thought the golf cart was way too slow and I watched him take it part way apart and mess around with it. Then we all saw him racing up and down that long road with several turns at alarming speeds. Several of us (not me) went on rides that weekend and all were relatively terrified! I never could figure out what he did to that cart, but in all the whole thing was hillarious!.....Bill S
