2022 Gathering

[Alex0413]

I thought I read a post about a 2022 gathering at the NCM. Can anyone confirm this, and further details? I'd love to cannon ball my ZR-1 to the NCM!

The Registey is indeed planning the Gathering for May 12-14 (reception eve of May 11) at the NCM. The Board will be following COVID as was the case during the past two years, and we are in regular contact with the NCM and NCM Motorsport park to see how the latter recovers from the recent tornado that ravaged Bowling Green.

All are optimistic that we?ll be able to pull it off in ?22 after a two year absence. More to follow as things evolve. Hope to see folks in May.

For those of us who would be newbies to the registry gathering, Is there a general itineray to where and when the group will be from the 11-14th?

I live in Colorado and would be flying down to nashville. My brother and our family's Z would be coming out of Cookville about an hour east of nashville.

Mike, in the past the agenda has normally been published on the NCM website as well as here when it is developed. Normally one would sign up for Gathering events on the NCM website. Sometimes it does not get finalized until a month of so ahead of the event but much is normally available on the website. Most of the group has usually stayed at the headquarters hotel, the Holiday Inn University Plaza. Mark or Bob will eventually post a Group ID and rate for the hotel, but that is not finalized yet. In the past I have usually arrived at the hotel Wednesday afternoon for the informal get together that night. I keep saying "in the past" and "normally" because, of course, with our crazy Covid world who knows what changes might occur. --Bob

Thanks Bob,

i'll keep checking with the NCM then. Hopefully, we can work something out on our end to join the group. My brother hasn't made it to the NCM yet and I havent made it to the TAIL yet.

Good news. Would love to be there, too. Let's see if it can take place and they let us into the country

As Bob stated, we are looking forward to getting together in May - I?m interested to see how many members are interested in a HPDI (High Performance Driving Instruction) class on Wednesday. If available, we will run our own classroom instruction for the touring laps, but it?s not the same level as the HPDI.
Any other events or seminars you would like to see?

We commonly receive requests for drag racing, but since 2015 Beech Bend has booked big events (Wed - Sun) that conflict with ours. This year the GS Nationals are the same 5-day period. Last we drag raced in 2014, only 5 ZR-1s participated. While we have not had the option since, we need a larger participation commitment to justify the significant expense of renting the track.

Touring laps with different run groups allow drivers of all skills to run their ZR-1s to their comfort and capabilities. (https://youtu.be/oIsgvb9USUo) and we have members with track experience to assist you as available.

I am in for ?touring? laps. Will bring helmet and 5 point this time.

I would be happy to instruct anyone who would like help on track. Have a lot of laps there in everything from C2, C4, C6 and even a formula Atlantic.
Won both Saturday and Sunday Champcar endurance races last April in a '91 C4.

Looking forward to putting my '91 ZR-1 out there and meeting some of you guys. Easy drive up from Nashville for me.
