Race Track Fund
Idea for next year.
When an event is held and sponsors kick in money, how about we put that money towards the BG Race Track fund. We, the Registry needs to purchase an acre of the site. There isn't a fund? There should be and we should be able to contribute to that fund right through the ZR-1 Store. I also think the Registry should match dollar for dollar any contributions made. What say everyone? PS: This conversation should be taken up initially in a Members Only section of the Forum, but since there isn't one, I'm posting up here.

Re: Race Track Fund
Along these lines, it must be $$ that talks @ the NCM.
At the last C4/ZR-1 Gathering in BG, there must have been 4X the number of ZR-1 people than Grand Sport/C4 people. The ZR-1 got NO LOVE (except @ JVD's!) even though most of the seminars were ZR-1! I'm talking the closing dinner and the NCM magazine report. Maybe if we contributed more $$ ......... ? BIG Q: Is it worth it? Last edited by tf95ZR1; 09-05-2010 at 07:38 PM. Reason: Clarify |

Re: Race Track Fund
It would only take 60 guys at $250 each to come up with the $15,000 to buy an acre. Something to think about.
I'll be pitching this and some other figures to the Michigan Region of the NCCC this week. Good luck!

And it would be nice/cool to have a home place to race. I was just saying that maybe its the total $$ and not the number of donations that counts. And to be fair, maybe it's the entire Corvette world and not just the NCM. The ZR-1 (with the -) does seem to be the unloved & misunderstood cousin(step-child).

Re: Race Track Fund
At BG in May the Grand Sport guys really stepped up with a very impressive donation. The Registry needs to at least equal or better the donation given by the GS group. This kind of donation is what clubs like ours should be jumping all over. It will benefit all the attendees of NCM functions and be excellent PR for our club. It could make the misunderstood cousin the envy of the hobby.
