Any Southern California owners in here? Trying to put together a So Cal ZR-1 get together some time soon. I'm in Menifee Riverside County with a 91 ZR-1. Anyone else?

Yes, in Poway, a suburb of San Diego. At least for another month as I'm moving to Spokane Valley, WA in late October. My '91 ZR-1 in pieces now for an engine and suspension rebuild. When GVD finishes the heads I was going to host a cam timing tech event at my house, assuming I haven't sold it yet. Ted Kerr would be interested also.

I would love to go to that event if you have it! Please keep me updated. You know of any other local guys?

Wish I wuz out there to join ya! I lived in SD for 12 years and did my best to explore all the twisty back roads California has to offer while straddling a motorcycle. Most of the paved roads (at that time) were in excellent condition. (Wish I could say that for more Illinois back roads!:cry:)

Some of my favorite memories that hang with me still (some almost 5 decades later) are the scenic roads to Ramona, San Ysabel, Julian, Mt Palomar, Mt Laguna (over-look to the desert), Descanso to Julian to Laguna to Pine Valley, Mt San Jacinto St Park (Rt 243 thru the park, in particular), and many places in between.

Added thought: A ZR-1 event, yes for sure. But! as discovered with the Mountain Run (MR1, 2, 3, etc) when the invitation was extended to other Corvette clubs in subsequent years, the whole event was enriched - because (IMO) it was more about the people with similar passions that added so much to the trips. (Just a thought for future gatherings?)

Course...if there's no pictures...IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!:cheers:

Paul,

I started a Facebook group for all generations corvette owners in So Cal. I'm all about getting together with people of similar passions. I own a LT4 C4 and C6 Z06 as well so I'm all about sharing the experience. It's a shame you aren't still around and those are great drives you shared for sure!

If you ever make it out to this area again let us know!

Paul, Still the same. back country between I-15 and the desert has great roads. Of course the stop in Julian at Mom's for apple pie. Also, we don't have winter, just cooler weather. Gonna miss this when I move to Spokane Valley but the "Sunshine Tax" in San Diego is killer.

And I did mean Ted Feder.

I, and the Board, would be very supportive of any So. Cal.
or Western US ZR-1 event(s). You can contact me via
e-mail (best) or private message here.

Not everybody uses Facebook :-) so I think the best place
to communicate with other ZR-1 ers is this website where
you can post/list what you want in the "Pacific Region" section
under the "Club Regional Areas" in our Forum.

I remember too a parking lot near the San Diego Zoo as an impromptu gathering spot for the area's car enthusiasts to park on Saturday mornings. They'd park in the filtered sunlight under the shade of the Eucoliptus trees to meet and polish their cars before heading off to a cruise aomewhere - maybe to the Cabrillo lighthouse on Point Loma to view the harbor and/or the Pacific Ocean...

Ah.... No snow...unless you wanted to go to Mr Laguna just to play in the stuff for a few hours before returning to some coastal cafe to watch the sun dip onto the ocean.

Yeah...So Cal is a great place to "Keep the Legend Alive"!

SoCal ZR-1s,

GVD says my heads will be done this week. Tentatively planning a tech session 9 October 0900-??? for timing the cams.

Address is 13329 Olive Meadows Dr., Poway CA 92064

Let me know who plans on making it. I'll keep all informed on the date.

Zoo is too busy now and the city is afraid of car gatherings. Carlsbad had a Saturday morning gathering until it got too big. Still, off freeway SoCal is a great place to own a ZR-1.

Still hoping it does. Depends on when GVD ships my heads back and time to put them on the short block. Getting close to go/no-go. I'll update tomorrow.
