Happy New Year, my fellow fanatics. I just got off the phone today with the proud owner of the very large SSR banner that was displayed from an office building at the Chevy Triangle on Woodward Avenue in 2004 & 2005 (WDC) and also was displayed at the LCC for the past few years. I am happy to say that Mr. Dick Iding, President of Bud Kouts Chevrolet in Lansing informed me today that he has taken ownership of the banner, and it will be preserved for the future. I told him that many members on the site have wondered for some time what the fate of the banner was, and that all would be glad to hear that the banner is safe and was not destroyed. Mr Iding is an avid SSR owner and advocate. He also told me that the banner might be available for future use at SSR events. He also says the banner is 30 x 100 feet and weighs 200 lb. He received it folded up, and last week he had plastic laid down in the parking lot at the dealership so that the banner is now rolled up and stored without any creases. I was also informed that the Lansing Craft Center is still standing. So once again, Happy New Year 2008 to all, and thank you, Mr Iding for saving a piece of our SSR heritage...
Oh gosh darn it I forgot to ask? he told me he was a member he signed up a year and a half ago but I forgot to ask his Fanatic Name. I think he will check in, in the future though?
I hope in 2009 Texas Super Rally (Wildcat66) and in 2011 (Hotrodgirl) 100 Birthday Super Rally we will be able to get the banner and put it on display.

I am glad to hear that Bud Kouts is the dealership that got the banner. I guessed it might be them in one of my posts from the LCC being scheduled for demolition thread.
They are who I have been taking my baby too, and I think they are a great dealership.
In fact, don't quote me, but if memory serves me correctly, one of the body shop techs told me the owner had 2 ( possibly 3 , i cant remember for certain) SSR's that he keeps in a pole barn that still have the sticker invoices on them, and have never been used. If said memory is correct, I believe the 2 i know for sure are redline red, and ricochet silver!!!!!
Maybe he will get on and let me know if I am right....
