...or just go run HPDE or Wheel2Wheel on any of a number of tracks with SCCA or NASA and fulfill the need for speed....

If you were in first grade Daniel, then you missed out on some of the most memorable times you could ask for. Yes, the ZR-1 was arguably the most sensational launch of an automobile of the times. The organization of the owners and our continuing loyalty, is just a testament to its legacy. I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO ENJOY IT.

Unfortunately I was in early grade school and if you ask most of my friends they'll say I still belong back in 1st grade. However I will argue that I am at least at the 5th grade level at this point!!! Thankyouverymuch

I do feel "cheated" to an extent, kind of like getting to the best party ever the day after with no booze. Talking with everyone involved it was just a great time for all. The people, the cars, the racing, and the records. After speaking with yourself at BG this year it sounds like I missed out on one great party out in the desert LOL I have been in the C4's for about half my life now and have been attending The Gathering since 2001. I hope to continue to enjoy this hobby for years to come.

Oh....one more thing.....the sister car to the EDS ZR-1 was an L98. It didn't do bad either!

No, the L98 car sure didn't. Lots of controversy surrounding the L98 car now....

THE CANNONBALL RUN!!???

Now that would be fun. However in the past 10 years or so the prices have really gone up for that event haven't they?

I remember when it was a REAL Canonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Race. They'd leave Manhattan at midnight headed west. Wasn't it Gurney and Yates that made it to LA in 33hrs driving a Ferrari Daytona?
