I hope to be attending my first Gathering in May!

What are the safety and mechanical requirements for track time? Done some drag racing, but no other track time.

I too am looking forward to getting together with fellow owners!

Yes, will take everyone up with solid race/HPDE experience to assist our less experienced drivers. Will also ask you to be part of our instruction class preceding the event. Please PM me your contact info. Very much looking forward to getting back out on track!

With regard to safety, this is a self tech event, meaning you are responsible for ensuring your ZR-1 is safe to drive on track. Tires in good condition and proper psi, fresh brake fluid, no fluid leaks of any kind, nothing in your car that can move around... I'll get something in the next HotB to remind everyone of what is needed for a good and safe experience.

That said, this is a touring lap event, meaning no passing and your group only goes as fast as the slowest car. The NCM MSP does a great job of sorting us out after the first run among beginner, intermediate and advanced drivers and run groups. The key is safety, developing your car control skills, and becoming a better driver. We have all levels of drivers - and have never disappointed, but our focus is primarily on beginners, but all will benefit.

Re: 2022 Gathering
 

is this just for c4 zr-1 cars? is this more than 1 day event?

Re: 2022 Gathering
 

I always brought my ZR-1s when I had them but now I bring my 2016 C7 Z06 because that is what I have now. Still enjoy getting together with the guys I have known for many years. Yes it is a multi-day event. I always arrive Wednesday afternoon for that evening's pizza and beer at the Holiday Inn and Stay through Sunday morning, or sometimes Saturday if I have to get back home. One day is usually devoted to track time at the NCM track (touring laps) or go kart racing, one day usually involves a trip, like a distillery run, and one day--or several--have had seminars available, although we don't know what the actual schedule will be for this year yet. Come for a few days--it is fun.--Bob
