Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Hey Bro , I have a LONG way to go before retirement.
Just because my hair color is the same color as my car [-X

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Thought the hair was gone. :D

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

I'm counting those gray hairs, it sure beats lack of any hair.

my forehead is reaching for my @$$ at an alarming rate.

must be old age setting in or driving with the top off at ZR-1 speeds.

either way, god made so few perfect heads, most he elected to cover with hair:o

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

New ZR-1 owner but old Vette owner has been impressed with the registry and the members involvement!!!

That said, I am coming up from Fl. and will go with any good gathering of owners, vendors,techs and other hands on ZR-1 knowledgeable people as we all learn and enjoy this fun car. If there are good plans and support we can gather anywhere then rally at NCM as the interest builds.

NCM will set the dates set but we will make it fun and a reason to return!!

Anyone wanting to hookup as we comeup from Fl. please respond as we can meet and gather along the way.

:handshak: Just a thought.

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Okay - if we can get wednesday afternoon for sure, I'm in. If I break the beast, I'll take it to Van Dorns for repairs!:hello: :pray :hello:

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

I've never been to one before so can't really offer much in the way of suggestions, the 'food events' are rather problematic as I and my girlfriend are vegetarians and there don't seem to be any meatless options - in that sense 'bring your own' would be a better choice from our perspective (I checked with the Museum and there will be a vegetarian option available for the banquet if we booked, though they couldn't say what it would be).

As for the actual events, anything that involves driving the new toy is a winner - I bought it to drive not just to look at :-D

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Dave - the L98 had 245 hp, not 275 hp as stated in your website.

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Thanks for the correction, you're 100% right. :-)

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

:iamwithst Ditto that, I'm a noob looking at my 1st trip to BG as well.

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Everyone was a virgin once...heck some of the boys still may be,
by the looks of them. That is one of the fun things, of the gathering's
Placing the names to the faces. Alot of the fun happens not just at the
events planned, but the Parking Lot BS sessions.
Holiday inn Uplaza ..is where most congregate..
Here's the missing Link.......... http://www.zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_gathering.htm

Sign up for the drag racing...to help offset the cost of the track.
Pre-register..so you can get all the spiffy name tags and shirts and such.
Save up a few extra dollars so you'll have plenty to buy me some
Budweiser's and garner some of my unsolicited wisdom.
I am looking forward to Meet Jim Van Dorn...there's a party goin on at his
place. Besides...he's a Zr1 legend...right Jim..??
{Will you post the address, JIM... or pm me, so i can enter it in my GPS unit}? Plus i hear rumor's of
a turbonator showing up..along with Callaways' and Regular C4's
and our skunk brotheren
The "Gathering" officially starts Thursday..but a tradition is to get there at
least by
wed. nite, for beer and pizza..this year..we have the Beech Bend Track rented from noon to 5pm on wed. for you drag racers.
and need help paying for it.
Any other questions should be anwsered by clicking on the link above.
I can hardly wait...:thumbsup: :mrgreen:

OH..i almost forgot..The Holiday Inn Uplaza on the back side has
an area set aside with hoses..to allow us to wash our cars.
It's also a tradition that all NOOB's to the Gathering...offer
to help wash...and detail the more seasoned members cars,
it's no big deal...wear you're rubbers so you tootsies don't get wet.

Re: BG 2007 Planning

Keith, I t/t Jeff a while ago and it looks like we're set for the trip down....I hope he's quieter than you.:mrgreen:

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

This is my first gathering & NCM visit and I wondered how many of us are signing up for the NCM events shown?? Are these things we do or just NCM sponsored things for any and all? Any info or past itinerary habits for us new guys would be appreciated!! Also thinking of bringing the '91 I just bought to offer for sale if anyone's interested. Could someone post the address and directions to the dragstrip please.
:cheers: Looking forward to the gathering.

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

The only "legend" I'm aware of being is "The Legend of FlipFlops and shorts".

Sorry I haven't been around here much, but we've been doin vette stuff...:-))
As I understand it from Ron, he wants a bring your own food type thing over here. Traveling with food can be a pain so if any of you want to try some of our good 'ol Kentucky BBQ, homemade potatoes, salad and of course a brew or two...we can accomidate but need to know ahead of time. $20 a person. We're doing the same thing the weekend before for the C5-C6 Bash and expect a huge party. We're having the best band in town called the Fender Benders over and they do a great Motown, oldies, jazz and country set. They are $800 for the night in case anyone's interested.??? We have a nice setup here. We are away from anyone who would be loud music offended and we have a huge parking lot directly behind us at the Vette City Flea Market. Our address is 790 Interstate Drive, Bowling Green, KY 42101. Our website is http://www.AutoMastersofBG.com

Also, if any of you want/need any service or repairs while here, please let us know and we'll do our best to get you in. Also, we'll also be tearing down a Black Widow LT5 in case you're interested. :wink:
Looking forward to meeting up with you!!
jvd
p.s. Who knows but a little birdy told me that there might even be some Pirate Racing clips showing....THOSE PIRATES WERE BAD!!!

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Thanks Jim, so much for doing this. I am a bit confused though after reading this yesterday:

ZR-1 Mod Party at Van Dorn’s (across from the NCM) (4pm-9pm) burgers, dogs, and beer sponsored by the ZR-1 Net Registry.

Are we talking about the same event???

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

The official agenda...whatever that is!...can be found here...http://www.zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_gathering.htm

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Uly, that is where I took the quote (in bold) from. I am just trying to determine if JVD $20/head event is the same as the one described on the agenda for Thursday.

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Hey Jim, why no "LT5" in your logo? [-X

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

hEY gANG
Yep, I missed that post but it looks like they got it together for a little cookout. Sounds great. Thursday night we're doin burgers and dogs on nthe Registry!!

jim

Re: BG 2007 Planning
 

Well, ra out of room and a buddy was doing it very quickly so we could get up on line. There is, however, a large section on LT5s in the "Services" section. I'll re-do it for ya...:-))
