Thanks for the encouragement. I'm a little surprised that this question hasn't received more response.

I have no way of knowing how many might attend until an invitation is extended to the ZR1 group. Even if it's just "1", at least we invited them and the "1" joins us.

Actually, I don't even have a good idea how many ZR-1's will attend, but I have gotten enthusiastic feedback and "I'll be there" from Graham Behan, Doug Rippie, Gary Cline, Chris Allen (per Gary Cline & Graham Behan) and plans to invite more VIP's. I know of several ZR-1ers who have called to tell me they have already reserved rooms.

Apart from Thunder One, which had a different purpose, there really hasn't been a gathering in this region. I think Thunder Two has a lot going for it. it is essentially at the crossroads of America and can attract participants from all directions, bringing ZR-1 enthusiasts together, probably meeting many for the first time. Until the NW Region cranked it up a couple of yrs ago with the Las Vegas Gathering, Bowling Green & Carlisle was about it and both are in the Eastern US. The other twist is 3 different track events which I'm hoping will create some excitement & attendance. Do it all, just a part or just spectate, whatever flips your switch.

And then there's the Willy's Cup! That could be the most memorable event of all!!
