Sorry to say we won't be able to make it this year either. Wife has a new job, and no time off work. We are looking forward to seeing a ton of photos though, so be sure to post a lot everyone!
Next year it's going to take something crazy to keep us from the 30th anniversary though. Already looking forward to it!

Call NCM first thing in the morning. I can't make the Gathering this year due some unforeseen circumstances - I cancelled late this afternoon and that should open up touring laps & go kart. Don't know if they are maintaining a wait list.

Thanks for the tip. I will give them a shout. If anyone else is looking for karting, it will still be available as I plan to take the driving tour instead.

We encourage people to sign up for touring laps. They are a great way to experience high-performance driving at your own pace and as the day progresses, they are an excellent way to get to appreciate a little more the performance capabilities of our cars. Don't forget also the high-performance driving instruction that will take place at the Museum at 9AM on Thursday morning before we head over to the track. Safe travels everyone. Bob

I’ve registered for The Gathering as well. As a local, I would recommend several restaurants on Scottsville Road. Longhorn is a good restaurant as is Smokey Bones. Another is Montana Grill. There is also O’ Charley’s. It just depends on your taste buds.

Are we required to wear a helmet for "touring laps"? First time for me and BG.

No helmet required for the touring laps. Only for the HPDI event and they rent them if you don't have one. Also you can have a passenger for touring laps but not the HPDI. The touring laps are about normal highway speeds.

As some of you may have noticed on the NCM's C4 Gathering Registration web page, we now have a full suite of speakers for Saturday, May 18. The afternoon speakers will be Graham Behan, an LT5 expert and formally of Lotus Racing and Lingenfelter Perf Engineering, and Eric Millette from GM who will speak about GM's massive investment in the Bowling Green Assembly Plant to prepare for the next gen Corvette.
As has been advertised for some time, Marc Haibeck and Jim Voter will be the morning speakers on Saturday. Marc will be doing a tech talk about ZR-1 maintenance with some emphasis on issues that emerge with higher mileage cars and the emergence of ZR-1 restoration as our cars get older. Jim (and his wife Lyndi) will chronicle some of their amazing trips in their high-mileage '94, including trips to Alaska and remote areas of Canada's North in Labrador. We look forward to seeing more amazing photos and stories of Jim having to use his special road tool kit to address challenges encountered on the road. Congratulations to Al Hemstreet, Robert Winkeler, Charlie Sinunu and Jim Voter for having their cars selected for display within NCM on May 18. Those high-mileage ZR-1s are great examples of cars that have been well used/well driven as we focus on that aspect of Keeping the Legend Alive in 2019. We look forward to seeing many of you at the 2019 Gathering in Bowling Green for what will be another fun week of adventure, quality time with old friends and opportunities to make new friends. Safe travels to folks making the trek this year and for those that are unable to make the 2019 Gathering, now is a good time to start thinking about our 30-year celebration Gathering in May 2020. Cheers, Bob Lambe (Events Chair)

For those who cannot attend it would be nice if the tech talks could be video recorded
