If anybody needs rooms for the mountain run or BG, let me know by this Sunday night before I cancel my hotel reservations.

Congrats about your son graduating from UCONN (Awesome!!) and his commissioning as an Army Officer (Double Awesome!!). Army Strong!

Sorry all I should have stated how many people besides me are going to participate in the AutoX?

Re: ZR-1 / GS Gathering May 13 thru 16, 2015

If I was going with my car I'd do the track cross.

Re: ZR-1 / GS Gathering May 13 thru 16, 2015

Myself and my son will do Trac X.

Nobody has said it (yet), so I will: If you have never "pushed" your car/skills as yet, I think you will find the MR3 to be a great "bullpen" experience!

I've mentioned this before, but after the MR3 and the BG gathering, I got a chance to do some autox in new M6 Beemers. There were a couple people that claimed to have some kind of formal driving (HPDE?) experience, and one guy that admitted he raced regularly. But, just doing my best on my last run, not competing with anyone but me, I taken aback when suddenly surrounded by an instructor and a few other congratulatory persons. Apparently, I had just completed the quickest run of the day for the entire group of 28 drivers (that day), including a couple C7 drivers as well. Who, ME?

I guess my point is, if you really want to appreciate what your ZR-1 can do, and since there isn't to be any HPDE this year (yet), the MR3 just might scratch that itch for ya! Robert and Gunny put on an A+++ class act event that you really don't want to miss!!!

Sweet.

Depending on what I bring, I may do the track-X. It's nice to trailer what you bring and not have to worry about something breaking before the ride home.

Re: ZR-1 / GS Gathering May 13 thru 16, 2015

I have signed up and will do touring session only but not Trac X. I must say their touring is quite a bit more expensive than Road America, which is $75 for 40 minutes (although admittedly they have a lower speed limit). Still, will be fun to try out the new track.

On another note, wasn't there going to be a country drive to a distillery on Thursday or Friday? I remember a few years ago when we did that and it was fun. I might just have to strike out on my own if nothing formal has been setup. --Bob

With my change of heart a few weeks ago, I'm in on BG and see you all in May. I have flight/hotel/rental car all set. I hate to be Z less again (2006/2010), but its the "people" as they say that kept me in this community. I'll be doing a "Hooked On Driving" here in Norcal at Laguna Seca on May 22nd with my new 95Z so I'm looking forward to that. Not the same as driving on the track with Z brothers, but the best I can do from here. Aloha and see you all soon!
