2012 NMC gathering - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jetjock · 01-27-2012

There is one book that you have to find and one person that you have to meet. Well, maybe two or three. The book is called Heart of The Beast. It details the LT5 in great detail and the people that built it. It's written by Anthony Young. It is out of print but you should be able to find it. I have two of the books if you can't find one.

The other is the people. There should be a beer & barbeque going on at Automaster's. Jim Van Dorn owns it and he has stories that you won't believe. The other is Dave McLellan who was the Corvette Chief Engineer from 1975 to 1992. He is the guy behind the ZR-1. Another is Graham Behan and Gary Kline. These guys are hilarious. I'm kinda hoping that some of the other guys from GM will be there as they are getting up there in age but I really enjoy seeing these guys and the cars.

You really need to meet the officers in the ZR-1 Net Registry. These guys are die-hard ZR-1 car guys. ZR-1 Net Registry has the greatest information source on the ZR-1 except for the GM and Lotus guys.

You will enjoy the trip especially if you travel with other ZR-1's. Hope to see you there!
