Thanx man....it'll be an interesting ride, but with any luck I'll get to keep Blue and drive `er to BG.

Just wondering, but does that mean it's more for the whole day? It almost reads like 1/2 and whole day cost the same.

Anyway, I'd love to participate in 'vette only drag racing. The NMCA thing doesn't have as much appeal. But what the heck do you all do for 4-5 days there then? I'm pretty sure if I get there Tuesday night, my wife isn't gonna want to hang around Kentucky for 5 days... Would it be lame to go for the drag racing and then leave on Friday or Saturday?

Nashville is only 55 mile's away. There are some nice shop's , malls and plenty to do.

Alright, I'm down for the Wednesday afternoon thing. My wife is pretty easy going about the car stuff, she's not complaining or anything. But I don't want her to be bored out of her mind or anything. We will be bringing two cars, so she could always head out shopping or site seeing or something.

I'm down for wednesday afternoon too. Ron - as far as the money goes, lets see how many interested parties we get. Beyond that, we can always raise some funds or something like that. Keep in mind, if we only have 20 guys, it'll be one HELL of a fun afternoon. I think Rod DeWild and Ry will be interested in coming to this as well. As far as I'm concerned, I'd gladly pay 100 vs. 50 if it means twice as many trips down the 1/4 mile.

What is the official word? Do we have the tracked booked for wed. aft?

So - does anybody ever bother to read this forum? This would be the reason I never bother posting on here. It would be faster to mail every member a postcard and wait for the response.

Dwight,

I read this forum all the time. I often wonder the same thing, but I always come here first. I would encourage you and all the board members to do the same thing. If this was the forum questions were asked first I think a lot more people would come here.

I won't be in BG this year, maybe next. That is why I didn't post an answer to your question.

rkreigh · 02-18-2007

I would love more of the zr1 faithful to hang here.

Drag Racing in BG in 2007. get the word out. I'd like to drum up 20 or more to make this a reality. I will also talk to the board about some ZR-1 Net Registry Sponsorship dollars so we can rent the track.

I've also posted over at corvette forum. don't be scared. the ZR-1 is a durable beast. don't have to beat it, but have some fun!!

I'll also poll the callaway and GS folks to see if we can get a few.

it will be fun stuff. thanks
