The event is getting closer!

Please let me know sooner-than-later if you plan to attend
the West Coast Gathering held April 28-29, 2018 at
AutoClub Speedway (California Speedway) in Fontana, CA.
Names will be needed for special parking and touring lap(s).
You can respond here in this thread or to me at:

tfed11@earthlink.net (I know, I'm old)


-There is a spectator fee to enter the Speedway. I will check
and see if people on the list get any special rate. For now:

-Racing will be for SVRA cars and members. We will be spectators.
-The event is open on Friday for practice, so you can come and watch.
-During a lunch break, our CORVETTES (only) will be allowed on the track
for a parade lap.
-There will be a ZR-1 Net Registry area and table.
Probably smart to bring a chair.
-We plan a group dinner Saturday evening.

We hope to see you there for the fun!

What day/days are the parade laps?

[Vette Guy]

Saturday, April 28th is day we are looking to run the lunch-time touring laps on the track behind the pace car - schedule permitting (the races have priority should there be a delay that morning).

Please contact Ted Feder, events@zr1netregistry.com, if you are even remotely thinking about attending. Ted is required to provide a listing of attendees to the track in order to reserve parking inside the track aside the pit area, orchestrate the touring laps, as well as plan a lunch and make reservations for dinner for us!

Races will include cars from all eras, as well as the Miata Cup and the Trans-Am series.

[hiperf406]

The West Coast Get Together went off very good, every one present had a great time. There were 0nly 3 small incidents
1 San Diego car had a rad hose ballon up I beleived they Duct taped it to help from further woes.
2 A 90 from LA had a rear caliper seize on the way to the track & got trucked home.
3 Philip LT5's lost it's A/C and made for a warm ride home to Phoenix.
The cruise around the race track was a very exciting event, over too soon but a blast anyway. The attendees got togetherat Marks race parking site & we had a lot of chatter about cars in general & ZR1's in particular.
A group of us got togetherfor supper at Famous Dave's BBQ & were treated to a very tasty meal. A group attended the Sunday racing events.
A few pictures. Sorry I'm poor with names so used car to explain event.

Hi Doug!

I'm talking to this tall guy over by the cars
who says, "Yeah, my brother has one of these."
Really? Where's he from? East coast.
What's his name? Doug ....
Are you kidding me? Of course I know Doug!
We hang out in Bowling Green.
What a tight community.

He's got a ZR-1 too, it's a "family" thing.
Bought it new, almost identical to mine,
'cept mine's faster! 🏁
