I think the main idea for GM "over-seeing" any restoration is to help not only with teh physical restoration, but also to attempt to restore/maintain the image/value of these cars.
That poor ZR-1 Spyder.

So, how does this affect the Gathering itinerary, if at all? We are in effect 12 weeks out. I'm sure they will have done their studies to determine if the rest of the structure is in danger but there's no way they will have it repaired by then. Other than moving the banquet maybe it won't affect us at all.

As of now we are still on. We also are working backups just in case.

Cheers,

Has the NCM re-opened yet?

I think a single donation from the registry would be better than a bunch of small donations from individuals. It would reflect nicely on the ZR-1 crowd.

Thats a great idea. I think it might be better to wait until they get a handle on the full scope of the job. Maybe then we can put together a group donation on behalf of the Registry ?

I guess the "head honchos" of the Registry have to approve, but I think it would be a great gesture, and show our colors as the ZR1 voice in the Corvette community.

Perhaps present the potential donation at the Gathering in May?

Any thoughts on this from the directors?

I'm in for a donation when the time comes

I think we're all pretty much in agreement to support the NCM in this time of need. As a matter of fact, the subject was informally discussed "out in the hallway", prior to a BOD meeting a day or so after it happened. And, I believe there may be a proposal along those lines in the Members Only section of the Forum in coming days/weeks.

And, since it is the members money, any member is welcome to open a discussion - perhaps in the Members Only section to discuss ideas. In the mean time, I believe the Corvette community at large is still waiting to hear exactly what we can do to best assist the NCM.
