ZR Registry- Broadening the Registry Universe

[XfireZ51]

A proposal has been placed to the Board recommending broadening the Registry scope to include other generations of ZR Corvette vehicles either previously designated by GM or so designated in the future.
The Board of Directors is inquiring into the "sense of the membership" regarding actively pursuing other generations of ZRs to join the ZR-1 Net Registry and participate with us on the forum and in events.

The ZR1 Net Registry Board is considering this proposal due to:

• Recent activity by GM and the Corvette Group demonstrates that future generations of the ZR nameplate are being planned or in development.
  
• There currently is no other forum or Corvette community supporting SOLELY the ZR nameplate. The Registry is not only a forum/website but also a club that actively organizes events and gatherings nationally and on local levels.
  
• As GM adds to the generations of ZR badged Corvettes, the ZR-1 Registry is uniquely positioned to be both a forum AND a community devoted only to “A Corvette, only more so”
  
• The addition of ZR Corvette generations lends a new perspective from which the C4 ZR-1 will be viewed. One of being pivotal for the ZR Corvette bloodline by having provided the groundbreaking “Corvette From Hell” legacy of the ZR Corvettes that followed it. Beginning w the ZR1 special engine package in 1970, the ZR evolved into the "King of the Hill" ZR-1, with a legacy that continues today with the C6 ZR1.
  
• We anticipate Corvette will continue to evolve the ZR in future generations of Corvette.

Although there is investigation into the tactical requirements for successfully implementing such a plan, the Board first is seeking a “sense of the membership” prior to expending further time and effort on this initiative. With your feedback, the Board of Directors can make a more informed decision regarding the direction of the Registry in the future. We will be creating a discussion thread in the "Member's Only" forum. We also invite feedback in this thread from all registered participants on the forum.
