Crown Point Shootout: Post Script-

[Paul Workman]

For your reading pleasure, I thought I'd share an email I sent to Bill Gnerlich (CPCC President), thanking him for another excellent opportunity to get together for some racing and mingling with other Corvette Clubs. And, his response and thoughts about future expansion? Have a look.
______________________

Hi Paul, thanks for the kind words. I hope you and your club enjoyed themselves. I'm sorry for all the delays with the track. I wish it would have gone a little smoother and we could have got done sooner. I am going to look into renting the track just for our shootout and see what the cost would be. I'm going to be sending out a proposal to all the clubs to see if they would want to share the cost of the track just for us and we would not have to worry about any other cars being there. Again, I am not sure what the cost would be but I want to give you a heads up. We would also have to see if any other clubs would want to help share the cost. Otherwise, we will just keep it the same as always. I just wish the track would use some of the money they make out there on some little improvements. Sorry for your clubs loss but like they say, there's always next year !! Thanks again for your nice comments and I shared them with our club members. Have a great Holiday and see you next year!!

Bill

Bill,

On behalf of the ZR-1 Registry gang, I just wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to you and CPCC for hosting another terrific get together! Wow! Did we all have fun, and got to meet and talk with you and some of the other club’s members too. The first Shootout, some several years ago there were 3 of the ZR-1 gang there. Yesterday there were 14, from as far as Cincinnati, OH, MI, WI. Having hosted score events with several classes, I can appreciate how organized your team was, and how smoothly y’all were able to tally the final results so quickly. You and they are to be congratulated!

Well, with regrets we had to relinquish the team trophy. Stuff broke, but that’s racing, I recon. But, hopefully you’ll be doing this again, and if I may paraphrase AHrnald…”We’ll be BACK”!
