Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I'll be driving up on Wed, but not with my Z👎. Wheels won't be in in time for mounting,etc. Dont trust 21 year rubber that far. Can't wait to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones!:cheers:

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

My wife and I are planning to attend. I haven't seen my ZR-1 since dropping it off at the body shop mid-March for a new paint job. I have a big, long list of things to do to it when I get it back (next week?). Meanwhile I'm twiddling my thumbs and resisting the urge to call the body shop twice a day to see if it's ready yet.

I'm really looking forward to the trip, especially the sessions with racers/speakers. The Mountain Runs, autocross and factory tour (and being away from work) should be fun, too.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

One here from the WAZOO's looking to do his first Mountain Run :dancing Hope to see many old friends and meet new ones!!

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I will be there Wed-Friday.. Toyvet, Ken, is coming with me

We are either driving my 1990 ZR-1 or will drive his 47 Ford (C4 LT1 powered)

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

The week begins with my second Mountain Run. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the old crew of of Z-mountaineers for another wild time, AND new friends of the GS Registry too and any others as well, culminating at the gathering on Wed. Driving my 90 ZR-1, as detailed below.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I am planning on attending.
I will most likely be driving a red c6 z06.
Zee you there!
George

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I plan on attending.....I am having a very hard time figuring out what I want to drive. Do I drive the Lingenfelter; don't really want to put the miles on her to and fro. Do I trailer her behind the '55 bus; this will be the first trip out in it since I have it ready to tour; nervous about the length of the first trip all the way to Bowling Green and have to borrow a trailer. Do I trailer behind the 4.8 Chevy short bed truck; would have to borrow a trailer.............

:dontknow:

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I'll be at the Holiday Inn Wednesday evening. Driving 90-1572 from Jacksonville,FL and bringing my father the second owner.Spending Thursday at the track and doing all the other things til our trip home Sunday.Looking forward to meeting some of the brothers from the club.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

See you all there!

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

If anybody happens to find,see an OEM windshield weather stripping can you pick it up for me? Must be GM and in the sealed factory bag contained. Or if it's a business I can buy from can you forward me the info. Thanks, Jeff.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Another first timer here. I'll be driving the Turquoise Met '90 down with some of the other WAZOO members on Sun to take part in MR3, then over to BG on Wed.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Will be at MR and The Gathering for the first time. Really looking forward to it. My wife, Linda, is joining me. Picking up the Zee in an hour from Marc after a five-month separation. With 510 pkg, 410s, (it's a long list of upgrades), I "think I'll experience a difference".

See everyone in a few weeks. Bob

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Thinking I'll trailer from Iowa, Nitto 05 aren't very good in rain. Been there with BFG 008's not fun. Looking forward to a great week.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Oh, man you must be pretty excited about that!

I might ask for a short joy ride. Sounds like fun.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Be happy to accommodate, Russ! Think I'll be sleeping in the garage tonight.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I'll be Zless (for the 3rd time), but see you all there.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Alright for you guys with 510 packages and built 427's....I am going to need a ride. I am pretty much stock minus a few small things so I really want to feel what can be accomplished. Look forward to meeting everybody.

Craig,

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Glad to help out Craig. I'll be arriving in WARP TEN late Wednesday afternoon and will be there through Sat night.--Bob

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Ha, ha, my trip starts from Miami in 10 days. Looking forward to a nice cruise to Ky. Hopefully a little cooler than steamy south florida.

Craig,

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!

I sent all winter putting a new motor,clutch, billbs tranny, steering rack , suspension lowered1in, radiator water pump, in her to go just have to get the air conditioning running . a 5000 mile round trip would be fun . is there going to be drag racing this year ????

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Don't feel bad being Z-less fellas....mines up on jack stands for coilovers install and the Fikse's I ordered want be here for another month so I'll be right there with you. Still will be a blast hanging out with the Brotherhood!

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

At this point I have no clue what I am going to be driving. Heavy work load and death in the Family has left me short on free time.
Might put some miles on the 98PC. It has been ten years since I took her on a lenghty road trip.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Wife and I driving from Yakima Washington. Four days driving. Maybe I am setting a record in terms of miles. I assume the speakers will be recorded. Especially the record run session. Reeeeaaalllyy looking foreword to meeting members and the whole event! Sunday heading to Marc's shop for some radio work and then the long drive home.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Sorry for your loss Robert. My condolences for you and your family.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Starting with the MR3 too!

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Planning on arriving Thursday, late afternoon. Bringing along some good friends from Stillwater.....

Rick Kirk, RK Machine
Heavily involved in outside machine shop services during engine development and early production, lots of great LT5 history stories.

Greg VanDeventer, Mercruiser
Involved in the LT5 manufacturing program from the beginning and many special LT5 projects along the way. Still doing custom LT5 port work on heads, inj housings and plenum. He's top of the craft.

Chris Allen, Mercruiser
Tapped by Mercury to develop the LT5 production line, Chris was one of the initial Mercury personnel to be involved in the LT5 program.

Rick & Greg have made the 1500 mile round trip with me before. Those trips were the seemingly shortest 11hr trips I've ever made. Talked the whole way and never ran out of topics.

We will be towing the Lingenfelter 415 Aerobody ZR-1.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

PS: will be bringing some gaskets, seals & a few typical parts, coils, wires, alternator, starter, etc. in case someone needs something while there.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I'll be flying down Wednesday, staying to Sunday.

Nelson

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I AM IN!!! Doug's (Mystic ZR-1) travel partner needed to bow out. I'm in. Can't wait, we'll be coming in my car. We will not be running MR3. Bummer. -Steve

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

I will be hauling PHIL'S car up from San Antonio/another 415 lingenfelter Aerobody cr1/bringing along some Texan's to do the cooking Friday night/bring your appetite,and sign up now so we know how much brisket and ribs to bring

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Anyone from the Northeast interested in hooking up for the drive to BG for the Gathering?
Can't do MR3 this year, BG only...:cry:
Tentative plan: leave sometime Tuesday. Stay overnite somewhere enroute
after a long day and finish up Wed @ BGHI in time to catch our breath before Pizza Nite.
We'll be in efnfast's black 90 this year
14 hours from CT add 3 for efnfast in NH...

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Wow, that is too awesome to have a member coming from Switzerland! I remember the last time I went there were gentlemen from Spain and they won the "farthest distance traveled award"; its all you this year! I would feel like I whimped out if I did not make the trip from California this time. Have a safe trip and looking forward to meeting you.:cheers:

Craig

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Here's my car as of 8 days before the Mountain Runs / C4 Gathering. It's going to be a busy week.

Car was black when I bought it (originally turquoise) but I always wanted a yellow Corvette. Silly me thought it'd be no problem getting it painted before the big event.

Oh, and also this week: New brakes, shocks, tires, wheels and stereo.

I know it will all be worth it come next Monday.

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

Well, you could always say you came from Japan to attend, and have a stop-over in CA on the way!:p

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
 

That is going to look awesome Russ! Can't wait to see the finished product.:cheers:

Re: C4 Gathering Roll Call!
