ZR-1 Gathering West! It's a GO! 26-29 Oct 2006
OK y'all it's official. There will be a ZR-1 Gathering West this year! WooHoo!! I'm stoked! The dates for the Gathering will be 26-29 Oct 2006. (Thursday - Sunday) Those of us that are organizing the event wanted to get the word out early regarding dates for those that need to make vacation/travel arrangements. Events planned include Kart Racing, Banquet with Guest Speaker, Road Course Racing, Poker Run, Multiple Cruises through some VERY awesome country, plenty of time to gamble and get this....
MILE RUN SHOOTOUT AT NELLIS AFB ON THE RUNWAY It isn't guaranteed yet but we are 95% confident that it will happen. There will be a small get together much like the Gathering on Wednesday 25 October in the evening (no actual events on Wednesday). Events will begin bright and early on Thursday, 26 October. I will post more information about it when I have it. This will be the first of many "Gathering West" events. Make your travel plans accordingly and come on out! It looks like the hotel wil be the newly built Santa Fe Station in the north part of Las Vegas (please do not book your room yet...we are getting a special group rate). Details will be coming shortly. Also during this same timeframe...NHRA Las Vegas Nationals...WAY cool... If you would like to indicate that you WILL attend or maybe attend...please do so. If you are a Las Vegas local that would like to help out...please e-mail me at guinnessdood@yahoo.com

Uly,
I read at the CF that the Wing Commander OK'ed the Mile Run. I need to read all that over here to stay. I love my car and I want to read about ZR-1's here, not over at CF. Thanks |

Re: ZR-1 Gathering West! It's a GO! 26-29 Oct 2006
All,
OK...here's what's up with the Gathering West. We need everyone that plans to attend and will be staying at Santa Fe Station to call the Santa Fe Station and make your reservation. Remember...you can cancel your reservation if you have to...but the idea is to get the rooms booked so that we don't lose them at our discounted price! They don't allow us to hold the rooms all the way up to the beginning of the event. Would like to know about interest in a Evening Banquet/Dinner with a guest speaker... (please e-mail me with your thoughts about this...good or bad) Nellis AFB Mile Run is still planned as a primary event to be held on Saturday, Oct 28th. We have been working with the SCCA with regard to insurance and setting up the event. In the event that the Mile Run does not work out...our alternative event will be an Autocross with the SCCA. The Gathering West Registration page will be up within the next week and I will post the website so everyone that plans to attend can register. The registration fee will be $75. The fee will include Commerative Glassware, Trophies, and the Wednesday Evening Social (Oct 25th). Road Racing at the Outside Road Course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is planned for Sunday, Oct 29th in conjunction with Lapping Days (www.lappingdays.com). The cost is $240. There will be two or three cruises. 1.) Valley of Fire (Saturday Oct 28th) - about an hour north of Las Vegas. This tour will take place after the Nellis AFB event and will stop at Gary Patterson's place for a BBQ and a Tech Session. The BBQ cost will be $15 per person and include food and drinks. The tech session will be in Gary's garage (he has a lift) and include changing out radiator hoses (new Samco Hoses) and possibly the radiator and thermostat. A plenum pull and secondary troubleshooting session will happen at the same time in the space next to the lift. The tech session will be hosted by Marc Haibeck. 2.) Red Rock Canyon (Friday Oct 27th) - We did this tour in March. It is beautiful! A 13 mile loop through some really gorgeous country. 3.) Hoover DamCruise/Tour (Thursday Oct 26th) - Cruise to Hoover Dam and tour the dam. or as an alternative...Cruise Around Town - Just as it says...cruising around Las Vegas. Kart Racing (Thurs or Fri) - Fast Lap Indoor Kart Racing in 200CC karts...very fast and very fun...heat races and a final race... POSSIBLE....needs further discussion regarding times....Morning Tech Sessions (Thurs&Fri Oct 26th&27th) - Technical Q&A discussions in the morning at Santa Fe Station. Various Topics...come out for coffee and donuts (no cops allowed!)

Re: ZR-1 Gathering West! It's a GO! 26-29 Oct 2006
Hi Y'all!
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I'm trying to email Lane Goldstein (Fastlane) to invite him to the ZR-1 Gathering West. His emails bounce back, and I can't find his website anymore. HELP!?! Can't believe he has totally abandoned his legacy..........
