I think the car is 100% running.
He loved that '96. It has super low miles, and he loved working on it. I hope that his family, Larry H, Bob K, whomever take it down the 1320 at least one more time.
He was a good friend for 16 years.

At K.C for LTX Shoot Out when I met him for the first time I was stoked when he knew my name. Here was this guy I looked up to since I was 16 and he knew who I was. In 03 I was 19 or so and I was at a Thunder Shoot Out Race and I had the copy of GM High tech when his car was on the cover, I brought a Sharpie marker hoping he would sign it. I love the 4th gen cars and guys like Chris kinda become like sports figures you really look up to them. Those guys showed people what a 4th gen platform could do.

I do remember a kid asking for autographs at the thunder shootout, was that you?
Chris loved the LTX and LSX scenes, he was hoping to put some friendly pressure on Stefan by running his car.

Fellow gearheads, LTX, LSX, 4th gen enthusiasts, if you can please help out the Sikora family with the challenges ahead. He didn't have much life insurance and was the primary earner in the family.
If you can do anything, please help 'em out. I suspect his wife Mary will eventually with help try to sell stuff off but my understanding is that the burial expenses will be near $10,000.
God bless,
John Ryan
