There are only 3 GMCs still at the park,ours being one.
We had what turned out to be double failure, alternator and battery.
First Timers from New Hampshire had a rear brake line break.
Eric Tanner changed his steering box.
John Sharpe took apart and fixed someone's steering column.
Paul Array blew an air bag in New Orleans on the way home.
Dan had dash A/C problems.
JimK lost a turbo in Bakersfield and so half his parts did not make the convention.
Williard Murdock's GMC got smashed by a tractor while fueling at a Wal-Mart. It seeems like Joe Country drove his tractor in for fuel, got off to start it, but it was in gear and it crashed into Williard while he was sitting in the driver's seat. True story. I'm sure this one will generate more comment. I'm told they got some radiator and power steering hoses and began limping home. This apparently happened yesterday. What a nightmare!
We will head for Houston now, confident the "Yellow Rose" will make it with her new parts....Michael at GEMRECS
BTW "GEMRECS1" came in 2nd in the Men's Pinewood Derby and 5th overall. Not bad for a first timer. I also won the jackpot at Bingo the last night it was held, $40. We sold two new "Fishing Cabinets" and did pretty well in sales.
Kudos to Kim Weeks on her first convention. She did a wonderful, thorough job. Next in September, Goshen, Indiana near Elkhart where all the RV factories are.
