There is one book that you have to find and one person that you have to meet. Well, maybe two or three. The book is called Heart of The Beast. It details the LT5 in great detail and the people that built it. It's written by Anthony Young. It is out of print but you should be able to find it. I have two of the books if you can't find one.
The other is the people. There should be a beer & barbeque going on at Automaster's. Jim Van Dorn owns it and he has stories that you won't believe. The other is Dave McLellan who was the Corvette Chief Engineer from 1975 to 1992. He is the guy behind the ZR-1. Another is Graham Behan and Gary Kline. These guys are hilarious. I'm kinda hoping that some of the other guys from GM will be there as they are getting up there in age but I really enjoy seeing these guys and the cars. You really need to meet the officers in the ZR-1 Net Registry. These guys are die-hard ZR-1 car guys. ZR-1 Net Registry has the greatest information source on the ZR-1 except for the GM and Lotus guys. You will enjoy the trip especially if you travel with other ZR-1's. Hope to see you there!

If everyone wants sausage, I live in a German town (Frankenmuth, MI) where they have some of the best sausage in the world. I would be more than happy to bring 20 or so pounds if someone will cook it.

OK, so about a week ago I reserved a room in our club block at the Holiday Inn (per David Johnson) for Wed. through Sat. Looking at the the listing of daily events posted by David on our website, it appears that each day Thurs. through Sat. there's an item "advance registration pickup". What's that? Should I/we be looking to register now for the events of those days? If so, how? I don't see any instructions. Thanks in advance to anyone who can clarify. By the way, I think it's already possible to register for Carlisle in August. I haven't done it yet but plan to do so soon.

Brett, Usually JVD does the BBQ on Thursday nights.....the last three were on Thursday nights anyway.
GSJoe, usually by this time of year the NCM's page devoted to the C4 Gathering has the provision for "advance registration". The only thing I have been checking on & off for the last few weeks and either my browser is screwed up or the NCM has not put the "advance registration" links in place. I wish I could tell you more than that, but I'm in the dark on this now. I would always do "advance registration" for the last three Gatherings that I attended. Oh, yes on the Carlisle thing. I registered for that back in Jan or late Dec! ![]() Tom

Thanks=D>, now I can stop scratching my head on that issue and just wait. Tony |
