A Gathering on Mothers day requires that you engage in a discussion with your better-half while suggesting a preplanned Mothers Day weekend getaway that includes driving hours to a Corvette event to enjoy activities targeting those with deep and unusual interests in man-toys intentionally designed to be powerful, loud, fast, and potentially dangerous. The period leading to and including such a negotiation about said weekend is one of life’s unusual occurrences where neither logic, patience, nor diplomacy are of any value.

In no specific order, survivable examples of other life altering events that DO NOT result in “the look” include:
- Multiple purchases of man-toys such as a ZR1, large screen entertainment systems, etc.
- Large investments in engine modifications to weekend race cars.
- Extended OCONUS TDYs to unusual destinations greater than 30 days allowing little and often no contact home.
- Going to war.

Examples of Events that guarantee “The Look” (and its implications) where survivability is often highly questionable:
- Modifications to the home resulting in most any volume of drywall dust.
- Corvette Gatherings on Mothers Day.

If it’s on Mothers Day, you tough guys have a great time. I’m not even going to ask…

me either

Why don't we just put together a ZR-1 gathering in Bowling Green on another date?

LGAFF
92 ZR1
#234

Just about any other date would work better than that weekend.
Ron, Mom, are you there.

Course I can't make it in 2009, but am already hoping things are better for us and we can make it in 2010 for the 20th Anniversary Gathering. There will be one right?

Yes Nashville Inter. is the closest Airport. They have a shuttle to the Plaza if needed.

Cool...that's what I thought, but wanted to double check since I've only driven and not flown to BG....thanks.


I'm keeping an eye on Orbitz for a cheap flight........I just booked a round trip flight to cleveland from denver for $179...........the same flight was $340 last week(that I booked) so they refunded the differance to my card this afternoon.

Hopefully I can get to BG and back for under $200 if this event is still hapening then.

Ry, take a look at Louisville as well. The drive is maybe another 10 miles, but air fare may be cheaper going into there. Rental car may be a lot cheaper.

Mother's Day is on the 2nd Sunday, May 10, 2009.
The Gathering will be May 14-16 according to the NCM calendar.

Can someone confirm May 14-16? If so, shouldn't be any problems with Momma.

May 14-16 this years "theme" is "milestones and mules" we're looking for any rare and tuner cars to come on out!

we want to see as many ZR-1s and their owners there as possible.

I'll be taking some time off over the holidays and getting the word out.

thanks!
