Thanks for posting the agenda for the May 2010 Gathering. It is going to be a great event!

The schedule of events shown is just for the National Corvette Museum. There will be hospitality events that are put on by the ZR-1 Net Registry that are not shown. Stay tuned and check back often to see what is going on.

There will be drag racing at Beech Bend again this year. We will be sharing the track with the the Buick Grand National etc group. We had a great time racing with them last year.

So the NCM's drag strip and road course that was originally targeted to finish earlier this year will not be completed by the time of the Gathering?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured I'd look at their website to see if it had projected dates. It doesn't, but also the plans don't even include a drag strip anymore: http://www.motorsportspark.org/facilities.shtml

YES, can someone add the Registry events too?

ALSO, any details on Gordons school?
Are all 3 days the same agenda?
Is it ZR1 specific?

Just registered and I'll be heading down on Thursday.
I signed up for several events but I couldn't find the Corey Henderson tuning session. Where do you sign up for that?

For JVD,


How do I contribute to the BBQ?
