Gathering 2023

[ZR1North]

Fellow members,

With the release of HOTB issue 61 last night, you will have seen that general plans for Gathering 2023 are now available. Gathering 2023 will coincide with the now internationally acclaimed ?Woodward Dream Cruise? which has been held annually in the Greater Detroit Area the third week of August each year since 1995. For those looking to book vacations and their calendars, Gathering 2023 will run from the evening of August 15 through August 19 inclusive. Following is a link to the Woodward Dream Cruise - http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com.

General plans for Gathering 2023 are contained in HOTB issue 61. Detailed plans and logistics are still underway, but rest assured that this will be a full, fun-packed week with such events as: visits to cool car collections and points of interest; cruises; caravans; and plenty of time for socializing with old and new friends - these will be key ingredients of Gathering 2023. A centrally-located hotel has been booked, but the block of rooms has not yet been released. Look for more details on planning and the hotel here on the forum and on Facebook as plans are finalized.

As explained in the president?s letter at the beginning of HOTB 61, we are responding to suggestions from the membership which wants more, key events nearer where members reside, and to provide myriad activities to accommodate varied interests at these events; we?ve dubbed this new direction ?Finding New Roads?. Rest assured that we are not abandoning Bowling Green as a destination for gatherings; in fact, Bowling Green could likely become a location for special gatherings, such as anniversary year gatherings.

Thank you for your patience as we navigated these changes. As noted, we will release more information in the coming weeks as logistics are solidified. Meanwhile, please don?t hesitate to post questions here or to me at events@zr1netregistry.com.

Events Chair and Vice President

We plan to be there

[bb62]

Wow. Woodward is in my neck of the woods. I live 4 miles from that venerable avenue and have spent considerable time with my Corvettes on Woodward over the years. I will definitely be there.

My grandson lives in W. Bloomfield. He would get a kick out of seeing old cars.

Morning All:

The block of rooms for Gathering 2023 has now been opened. The hotel is Troy Marriott, Troy, Michigan. The room rate is $165 per night (King and Queens are the same price).

Please use ZR1 REUNION as the code to achieve the group rate. The room rate is available for Tuesday, August 15 through Saturday, August 19 (five nights).

The only way to book a room at this point is to call the hotel at 248 680-9797. We will continue to work with the hotel on a link, but they have not provided one yet and may take some time to do so if they do at all; hence, I encourage you to book via phone as soon as possible as the block will be held for a limited time.

I'd be interested in your experience reserving your rooms, especially during these early days. The number and code have been successfully tested and hopefully you will not experience any issues either.

Thanks,
Bob Lambe

Afternoon all,

I have a little more info for the Detroit Marriot Troy in Troy Michigan. We are using this hotel as it very close to the Woodward Dream Cruise without being noisy or congested. I've booked about 6-7 other Woodward Groups here in the past and they have met all our expectations. it is located right next to the Troy PD and the hotel also supplies their own security for our group.

The parking is covered and they usually rope off private area for Corvette parking.
For those towing, parking for truck and trailer is also on site. Of course at no charge.

Event Summary:
BLOCK NAME: ZR1 Reunion
Start Date: Tuesday, August 15, 2023
Check out Date: Sunday, August 20, 2023
Last Day to Book: Tuesday, July 17, 2023

PRICE: Run of house, $ 165 USD per night (king or 2 doubles)

Phone reservations: 248 680 9797
Please be sure to ask for reservations and tell them you are reserving via the ZR1 Reunion Block

On Line reservations: https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1675182024323&key=GRP&app=resvlink
(Hopefully that will become a URL link once I post)

I never release hotel info until I've tested phone and online reservations. Both work perfectly.
BTW a Meet n Greet will be held Tuesday evening at the hotel bar. More updates on that a little later. Just in case you are on the fence about arriving Tuesday.

Good to be back and can't wait to see so many of you that I've missed.

First of all I appreciate all the planning and coordination that has gone into "The C4 Gathering 2023."

Though this venue is slightly closer to me in overall miles than the NCM in Bowling Green, I am on the fence, undecided on whether to attend.

Having recently been on a Hot Rod Power Tour in my ZR-1, I know I will never do that again.

After being stuck, backed up traffic in every single little town, in the heat of summer, with a manual transmission, in the cramped cockpit of my Z, I vowed to never do that again. It was way too hard on the car, and me, for that matter.

My experience from the Hot Rod Power Tour has taught me that type of event is best enjoyed in a comfortable vehicle with an automatic transmission.

Could getting to and from the Woodward Dream Cruise events be like that? Everywhere, bumper to bumper, stop and go, over and over?

Since I don't own a car trailer and tow vehicle, I may attend the Gathering in my civilian car, which I know will navigate those traffic congested, potholed city streets and interstates between my home and Troy Michigan much better than my lowered Z.

I don't really know what to think? I have never been to that local area of the country in my Z. Will I bend up another rim, or smoke my clutch?

My car is not made of eggshells, but I know for a fact the interstates between my home and the Detroit area are a battlefield. It wouldn't take much to put me in a rental car to get home.

I guess I could possibly plot a route through the back roads.

Perhaps someone could chime in on my comments with any of their experience with this event, local road, and traffic conditions to help me (and perhaps others) to decide.

Thank you in advance.

The Woodward tour itself is to be held on Saturday. You can always come Tuesday night, enjoy the camaraderie and events that Bob Lambe will be setting up, then leave Saturday morning. I have also done such tours and will likely take that route myself. Looking forward to hearing from Bob about events planned. --Bob

[XfireZ51]

Mike,

I have been driving I-94 for decades from Chicago to Detroit both for family and work. I think ur description of the drive is a bit unwarranted. Granted driving thru Gary is usually a pain due to truck traffic but that depends on day and time u go.
Bob Lambe and I did try driving the Cruise many years ago and yes I had to pull over to avoid overheating, so I wouldn?t recommend doing that on a Saturday but otherwise Woodward Ave. is nice big 4lane either side.
And the surrounding area can be very pretty and surrounded by lakes.

Wow, some mild misinformation:
1. The worst roads you will likely find are in the Chicago area (which if you time correctly, you can avoid rush hour traffic).
2. I94 in Michigan is a pretty good road to run your ZR-1 upon. There are areas in Detroit that are terrible, but you're not going there. And Woodward Avenue itself is very well maintained.
3. The event is NOT 1 day. It is a week-long event. I've been doing this since the first cruise back in 1995 when it was more a weekend thing. Now it's pretty much a full week.
4. You will not be driving your ZR-1 the official day of the cruise (other than to find a spot early in the day with friends and sit and watch). It's too crowded for that.
There are places where 1-2 miles per hour is possible. Walking is faster. but there are other places where the cruising is pretty free and easy. Keep in mind that from the Detroit border (the cruise doesn't go into Detroit proper) to the Pontiac "Wide-Trac" loop, it's about 20 miles. North of 15 mile (or Maple Road) is pretty open. 13-15 mile is very slow. 13-about 11 is moderate. 11 to 8 mile can be slow to moderate. But VERY few people cruise the entire 20 or so miles. If you park anywhere between 14 and 16 mile, it is quite walkable, and that's where you will find most of the OEM displays and perhaps the most interesting cars.
5. Most of the Cruising is done on the weeknights leading up to the Saturday event. But it can feel like work traffic sometimes in the middle of the day. Wednesday is usually "Corvettes on Woodward". I've seen over a thousand Corvettes meet at the hotel just north of Long Lake (18ish mile) on Woodward.

I hope you decide to come. It truly is an experience.

[Mikey]

Having grown up and lived in the Detroit area, I have been to many Woodward Dream Cruises since the very first one. The cruise itself is technically only on Saturday, but the event has become a 2-week draw with global attendance. Every night leading up to the actual cruise there are car group gatherings at various local establishments. Dugan's Irish Pub on Wednesday before the cruise was the unofficial official Corvette gathering where you could surely see every single year of production represented in the parking lot. I recall when the PT Cruiser was a fad, over 200 gathered in one parking lot one night of the week. It is one of the most ridiculous and cool car events one can attend. The car show goes 2-3 blocks deep either side of Woodward for about 17 miles!! Nearly any car from any era can be found on display along Woodward during this timeframe, if only there was enough time to see them all!

For sure I do not recommend trying to actually drive on Woodward on that Saturday, in ANY car. It is not enjoyable in the least and the road is clogged up by many tourists and families in minivans, it is not just the kind of cars you want to roll with. Do you want to be in the parade or do you want to watch the parade? Saturday is better for hanging out under a canopy on the side of Woodward with a cold one and watching traffic roll by. And wandering up and down as far as you can stand to walk to see the amazing collection of cars parked up and down every side road, back alley and parking lot. Many bleach soaked side roads for burnout exhibitions as well.

Having the Gathering there this year was a great idea, the variety of car related things to do in the immediate vicinity of Woodward and then around Detroit itself pretty much guarantees you'll thoroughly enjoy yourselves.

:cheers:

I appreciate all your responses.

I knew I could tap into the vast knowledge base of our group here to ease my concerns.

Now if I can get off of work and talk my wife into going...

[kz098123]

I'm currently on the fence about going. The Gathering and Carlisle are within a week of each other and I'll only be able to allot time to one of them. I'm waiting to see if there will be an itinerary for the Gathering before committing. Either one should be enjoyable.

[WARP TEN]

Following up on that thought from kz098123, Bob have you gotten any closer to a plan of events for the gathering? I know it is early and you are very busy but I was curious. If not, any idea when we might hear about a plan? Thanks for all your work on this. --Bob

Hi Bob, and all,

We'll have more details in the Heart of the Beast which is due out in just days. In a nutshell, planning is coming along nicely. Some things are still in the works as we are still a few months out, but here's a snap shot of what to expect for Gathering 2023 - in addition to the meet and greet on Tuesday night (Aug 15) at the Marriott (similar to usual pizza night at Holiday Inn BG) and the Dream Cruise participation on the Saturday (more detail in the upcoming Heart of the Beast on what that really means), the itinerary includes visits to Ken Lingenfelter's awesome car collection, the Ford Museum (Museum of American Innovation, Greenfield Village (next to Ford Museum), Gilmore Automotive Museum, Pratt & Miller (GM's race program engineers and managers), Motown Museum, as well as activities at M1 Concours on Woodward Avenue and a Gathering dinner. There are other things planned, but we are still awaiting details from the hosts or vendors before we lock them in. We need a little more time to nail things down 100%, and some of the things that currently have dates associated with them may have to be moved around as the itinerary gels. There will be lots of social time and driving experiences which people have told us are important. I expect to have more things available than we have time for, so people are likely to have to make choices among features available.

On that note, re choices, we will be launching a registration page on the ZR-1 Net Registry website within the coming days - again, more detail in the upcoming Heart of the Beast, the release of which is imminent; look for a note in your inboxes from Club President Horner when it is released. With the Gathering being 15-16 weeks away, we'll have to update the registration page as details become available, but we want to get registration up and running so that we will be able to get a sense early re participation. As everyone can imagine, managing logistics for this will be very different for 200 participants or more than it would be for 20, so we need to know sooner than later what the uptake will be. The more the merrier!

With so many members residing in the Great Lakes-Midwest region, we hope to get a great turnout and confirm that taking "the gatherings" closer to where members reside is what members want. Bowling Green will always be on the list but with things having changed in 2022, BG and the NCM will likely be for special occasions - anniversary years for example - than an annual thing per se.

Thanks to all for your patience. I hope this helps for now. I encourage everyone to read the Heart of the Beast edition 62 when it comes out in the coming days. I also encourage everyone that may be on the fence about participating to decide to come to Gathering 2023 - it will be a blast!

Bob

Are we doing a club corral at M1?

Are we doing a club corral at M1?

Hi Mike and Bob,

Glad to see you're coming, Bob. We are working with M1 Concourse on two options, Mike; one of which does indeed include the Corvette corral.

Since we have more to do than we have time to fit in during the week, we're working on the enviable challenge of trying to choose things that have firm dates associated with them - which is the case for the Corvette corral at M1 Concourse which happens on the Friday - in such a way that they don't impact some other things that we'd like to do as well. Ultimately, I expect people will have to make choices for some of the four days of the event, which is great. We're designing the registration page on the Registry so that the choices, and how people make them when registering, are clear.

The Heart of the Beast, due out any day now, will have more detail and as communicated in the HotB, the itinerary will be somewhat fluid throughout May, so i encourage people to stay tuned here, on our Facebook page and for messages from the President as we nail things down in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, I encourage people to reserve their rooms and register on the Registry website (two different processes) when we are notified that the registration page is up and running.

Thanks all.

Update on parking for Woodward on Friday and Saturday.
The city of Royal Oak has offered us parking on Woodward and 13 Mile Road. This is in a very good location to see everything and walk around. Cost is $50 for both days.
I can't get my password reset for the Registry store so don't know what info is already mentioned on the registration.
The parking is for Friday AND Saturday from 9 AM to "close". "Closing" time on Woodward is usually around 9PM and the police will clear Woodward of all cars.
You can park and come and go as you please on Friday only. On Saturday there is too much foot traffic to allow in and out traffic. Once in, once out and I have no idea how they keep track.
There is now a web page for parking registration. You will need to set up an account but it's all pretty straight forward. Your credentials will be mailed to you. The parking is first come first serve and it will fill up.
The city will have bleachers set up for event viewing but bringing a folding chair is good.
Royaloakrec.com then Dream Cruise Registration and car show.

[tikitb8]

As a reminder for the Pratt Miller tours - set up for Thursday 17 Aug at 9:30AM or 1PM. As of 14 May there were 17 AM slots and 20 PM slots available. Our max is about 25 cars/50 people per tour. We're figuring 2 people per slot.
Please sign up as soon as possible. I do need to provide PM with a list of participants name, city/state and citizenship prior to the event.

[tikitb8]

One more update.
M1 Concourse Dream Show https://m1concourse.com/wds-home/
Friday 18 Aug Cost, registration and info is on the web site. They would like to have a special place to display the ZR1s. For that reason please be sure to annotate the ZR1 Net Registry as your club affiliation when you register so they will have enough room for everyone.

There will also be a special Corvette Tribute display. If you want your Vette considered for that display please go to WDS Car Submission. They will notify you well in advance if your car has been selected.

I know I-94 is still under construction to the east of kalamazoo. Its still two lanes per side but its a little bumpy through there.

Also anyone coming to Michigan know this semis/ truck with trailers are restricted to 65 mph Most cars stack up in the fast lane its annoying so be warned.

[WARP TEN]

Looking forward to the Detroit get together August 15-19. How many have signed up so far? --Bob

[Mikey]

I?m in the area this week and unhappy to report I-696 is a construction disaster at the moment. Don?t trust your gps will give good guidance since various ramps are detoured or closed.

Unfortunately I can?t make the gathering this year. Unforeseen conflict came up.

[ZR1North]

Looking forward to the Detroit get together August 15-19. How many have signed up so far? --Bob

Thanks for checking, Bob. I am in the process of drafting an email to registrants using their emails on our file. I have a few tidbits to share to help maximize the events that are part of the finalized itinerary. Look for something from me in your inboxes by mid-week at the latest.

Mike is right in that there is considerable construction ongoing on Interstate 696. Thankfully, we won't have to use that part of the interstate much if at all. Sorry to see that you can't make it Mike.

[Mikey]

life may allow me to come socialize for a bit of the gathering afterall .. tentatively planning to drive my C6Z06 up from TN and join the Tuesday social at hotel, although I am not staying there. Also planning to do Corvettes on Woodward on Wednesday. Paid for the group dinner banquet Thursday as well. Also planning to see the Lingenfelter collection and may or may not go to P&M (I've been there a bunch in the past and was friends with Brandon Widmer when he was motorsports director, often hanging out with team at the races).

I'd bring the '91ZR-1 368ci Corey Henderson car, but I'm not sure my father-in-law would survive the drive from TN .. LOL!

Looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting some of you for the first time as well.

[ZR1North]

Hi Mike. Great to see you can make it again. I sent an email to registrants earlier this afternoon and I included you. I hope I got your email address correct. If you didn?t get it, perhaps you can PM your correct address and I?ll resend.

Thanks. Bob

[WARP TEN]

Well I am back from Detroit and I did have a great time seeing quite a few old friends and making some new ones. Sorry I can't make Carlisle but this was fun. While there wasn't any track time, we did see a couple of outstanding museums and had a great banquet Thursday night. I should note that the "chicken" noted above wasn't the usual rubber chicken but actually Chicken Florentine and done extremely well. Great chef that night. There was a big car show at the M1 concourse featuring Bob Lambe's ZR-1. Sorry I did not get to stay for the Dream Cruise Saturday but overall I was glad I was able to attend. For the record, the Henry Ford museum was an great experience except my feet hurt afterward--540,000 sq ft on one floor! An extensive history of industry, from a huge 4-6-6-4 articulated steam engine to autos to flight to industrial power and agriculture,many area featuring Fords of course. And on my way home I stopped at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners MI, a little north of Battle Creek and Kalamazoo. It is a huge, spectacular auto museum with separate buildings for several marques like Pierce Arrow, Lincoln, Franklin, Model As, brass era cars, Cadillac-LaSalles and others, plus muscle cars and many international marques. If you ever have an opportunity to travel by that area, you owe it to yourself to visit. Way out in the sticks and I didn't expect much initially. but there were about 200-300 cars in the parking lot and additionally there was a big hot rod and custom show going on with a couple acres of cars. Lots of fun. Thank you Bob Lambe for all your work making the gathering possible. --Bob
