Re: Here’s something I would do in a NY second
I've gone up to Watkins Glen a few times for kids day when I used to be more into high speed track days. There was a camp in the area for kids with cancer and you would take the kids and counselors out for 3 laps at a time. It was a great experience and the kids had a blast!

Re: Here’s something I would do in a NY second
I guess I am bringing this up to suggest it could become something our Registry would embrace as an program of the Registry. Perhaps for kids, for Veterans
and maybe others, which also helps promote our “hobby” or obsession.

Re: Here’s something I would do in a NY second
I don't see why not Dom. I do't know if there are legal ramifications?
First thing that came to my mind was we bring the family to the museum with us for a couple days of corvette fun. |

Re: Here’s something I would do in a NY second
I think the legal piece might vary from state to state..
I know my Corvette club (local) has done something similar. Not sure about give kids rides, but car shows and such. Maybe a Board member can bring this up to the BOD when they meet. This would be a great thing to do

Re: Here’s something I would do in a NY second
Well here’s an example. The Touring Laps during The Gathering.
Paul, Maybe we could arrange some kind of a Pizza Night where we drive the kids or whoever to get pizza. Maybe to the Morris Car Show.

Re: Here’s something I would do in a NY second
Wonder who we could talk to about that? It should be an activity that the Registry does during The Gathering in BG also.

Re: Here’s something I would do in a NY second
Back in the early 2000’s, there was a television series called “Corvette Owners’ TV Guild.” I was one of their founding members and had TV crew credentials. They would have shoots at Eckler’s Annual Car Show, club events and also Parade laps at H.S. football games. The Homecoming kids were perched on the hoop after the top was stowed away. Their parent rode shotgun as we slowly circled the football field on the surrounding track. The kids all got photos and loved the attention and of course the rides in the Vettes. I was the only ZR-1 owner and a majority were the solid axle Vette owners! At the time they looked awe fully old, now I’m one of them! [emoji16]
If your Insurance is good, there shouldn’t be a problem if they are buckled in. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: Here’s something I would do in a NY second
I think the idea is a great one, but as the registry is made up of members from all different states and countries who come to BG insurance requirements could really vary. I think a non-indemnification waiver would be warranted. Do we happen to have a lawyer with knowledge of Kentucky law in our midst?
