Angry Deja vu?

Ya know...we really ought to consider following suit with the GN guys and reschedule our BG get togethers for Sept/October...


Anybody have an "eyeball" on Beach Bend? If the Ohio is flooding, the next question is, "what about BB?"

Followed the Buick guy's in B/G since 1987. And I can tell one thing , the weather in B/G this time of year is real rough to put it mildly. The GSCA got tired of the weather in B/G after last years flood at Beechbend and wisely moved it to October. The weather in the fall at B/G is excellent , especially for drag racing. And those folks live to drag race.

I'd like to see us have Vegas in May and BG in Sep... Much better for both!

Cheers,

Sounds good. I'm prolly just jealous of their market value, but I would look forward to grinding out a few passes with the GS guys too. Sept/Oct would be 'bout perfect, methinks. JMO.

May is a bit hit-and-miss with the weather up here - BG in September would be much more dependable.

not sure it is that so simple though. I mean yeah it is the ZR-1 gathering, but it is also a C4 gathering right?

would it be a decision of just the ZR-1 Registry or ALL the Official clubs of the event.

the Buick Club just uses Beach Ben so.. if it was drag racing only that is one thing, but if you are thinking the NCM will move a bigger event you might be in for a tougher fight

I have been to BG the past two years for the C4 gathering It is really a ZR-1 Gathering, 1 or 2 C4's and a couple of Grand Sports don't make for much of a gathering. Take away the efforts of this registry and see what would happen. JMHO (based on visual facts )
