I might mention there are past and present (meaning new) Board members that have not donated, or are not on the list of people who have donated as of a few minutes ago.

The Registry wasn't asking for a huge amount, only $25 bucks would do it.

Where's my sticker?

This seems like kind of a bullying post. As such, I'll just post my opinion:

I don't particularly care about the NCM. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike it or anything. But it's a business that has lots of opportunity, free access to records and artifacts from GM, a delivery program with the factory, etc. They should be able to turn that into a financially successful museum, or maybe they are doing it wrong. I don't feel a need or desire to prop them up with membership dues nor contributions. I don't get any indirect benefit from the NCM.

If they want to charge for window stickers that GM has given them access to, I'm happy to pay for one. If they want to have an event for Corvettes that sounds fun, I'm happy to pay to attend. But that's about it from my perspective. I don't derive any ongoing benefit from them. It's nothing like the ZR-1 Registry, from which I derive tons of information, help, parts, etc to keep my car running in tip top shape. That's the sort of thing I am happy to pay a membership fee for, or make a financial contribution to.

If the NCM can't make a motorsports park that is financially viable, they shouldn't do it. If they put on a motorsports event that is appealing, I'll happily pay the fee to attend. But I have zero interest in propping up the effort to get it started. The only reason I contributed is because it clearly matters to Mom, and I appreciate what he's done for ZR-1 owners. So I'm more than happy to chip in.

Anyway, that's my opinion. It may be why some others haven't contributed. Or maybe I'm the only one that feels that way, I dunno.

Oh, I'd also just say I agree with your idea to toss in the previous 1/4 acre and call it good. I suspect the longer it goes between pledge to payment, the more people may not be able to ante up, especially with the holidays approaching.

This is a consideration which I will consider.

Sticker will come once we reach our goal.

Thanks,

So right now we have pledges totaling $11,788. I'm going to go ahead and use the money we spent on the 1/4 acre ($3750) and add that to the total which will make it over the $15K we need at around $15,538 minus paypal, and credit card fees.


I'm moving forward now and asking everyone who hasn't done so to start sending their pledges in. They can mail it or use paypal.

For PayPal use zr1net@zr1.net for payment.

To mail it in send it to:

ZR-1 Net Inc
52 Timberline Dr
Nashua, NH 03062

Thanks everyone!
