Default XXX rootbeer corvette show.

XXX Rootbeer corvette show Sunday in Seattle area. Only 2 corvettes in the 1984-90 categorie. My beautiful black z with all documents displayed, pizza box, etc. and an 87 coupe auto with nice paint and a wood dash added. Guess who got first place and it was not my z. Oh well, it did get a lot of attention and it got to talk to a lot of great folks.

Default 20 th anniversary bash at NCM.

What a great 4 day bash. John Heraicy (sp) was inducted into the hall of fame so the next day he gave a talk. Very interesting talk, esp. About the "record run".

Glad to hear from someone in the Northwest! Sounds like you have a nice car. I go through the Seattle area every month. Would love to see you car. Are you by any chance driving to the 25th anniversary of the Zr-1 gather this May at the NCM?

I don't travel to Eugene often.....The "ZR-1 Net Registry" and the "Grand Sport Registry" meet every year in May at the National Corvette Museum (NCM) for a three day event. This year is a celebration of the birth of our ZR-1's. Should be a great event. I attended the 20th anniversary of the NCM this past August, 27 - 31. It was a "trip to remember"! This upcoming "Gathering" is May 14-17. We will have the motor sports park one day also. Lots of important people instrumental in the development of the ZR-1 and corvette racing will be in attendance. I would encourage your attendance, car or fly. Either way you will be impressed and educated. The development of our Z's is a fascinating story if you have not already researched it.
