Private ZR-1 event Saturday April 6th - Page 14 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

WOW, what a collection and a true honor to be able to see these historic vehicles in person, many have done battle and left their mark well established in automotive racing history!

Lance Miller is a Class guy that continues to carry the Torch his dad Chip Miller lit many moons ago.

Lance, your father would surely would be proud that you carry on his legacy and passion for the hobby and as you said "Apples Don't fall far from the trees".

As fellow enthusiasts, we too are proud and thankful as well for what you do for the hobby.

Thanks for putting up with us for the day and I'm sure the "Drool" marks on the floor will clean up easily if you scrub real hard!

Thanks again.

Gibby

The event went well and thanks to David and others for organizing it. I did take about 150 photos with a good Nikon and they are now in three albums on Photobucket you can peruse. One is Wazoo replacing Lance Miller's ZR-1 injectors, another is the general photos including the pro's detailing a car and someone who trucked in a Z on a frame minus seats and body and the car collection with its excellent cars, my fav, the little 1954 Cherry Corvette. I'll also attach a link to the third album which when I went home to Virginia I drove my red/red down 100 miles of the Blue Ridge Mountains and about 350 or so curves slightly more aggressively than the law allows on a sunny day. You might not be so interested in that but it's here if you want to see the car on the drive. I have a dozen photos of the various license plates from the many states who were represented as well but don't as a practice post other's license plates for confidentiality reasons. You will enjoy the black Z from Florida as he took it off the trailer in the hotel parking lot to attend while wife and child snoozed away. The young daughter made up for it in Laps around the Miller patio at lunch when they joined. Great event.

What an event!
Big thanks to Lance M for being such a gracious host and a great big "well done" to David for setting it up. Not to forget - "thank you" to Darin, Rich and others who pitched in to be the point men of goodwill and turn wrenches.
Also, thank you Lance for documenting the event.
It was great to make new friends and see old friends. Only thing missing - Skipper...

Almost forgot! - thank you for a great (actually two) BBQ sandwitches Charlie!
