It's probably better to voice personal complaints about the price of hotels, planning shortfalls, or anything else privately to the BOD members, rather than air them publicly on the forum. It's not a good look for the group, and not really representative of the support I've experienced in my time as a member.

I think you are misreading comments regarding the idiot Canadian prime minister as comments about the BOD and registry leadership.

The prime minister just enacted rules saying anyone returning to Canada must spend three days locked in a hotel with all the other travellers.

I wrote the statement & I was not flaming anybody on the ZR1 Forum, I appreciate all the efforts of the forum reps do for us year round. I was just voicing my dislike for our leader.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yeah, I totally misunderstood who was being referenced... but I've got it now, the PM not the BOD. Sorry about that... I'll just delete my post and go back to being quiet.

I'm glad you clarified.

I just saw this thread tonight and read your post
over and over and was a about to perform my Forum
Admin duties (keeping the Forum sorta respectful)
when I saw the second page "explanation."

I saw it too and thought.. how can the BOD force us to stay in a hotel.. then I figured out it was not the BOD.

My concern is, if they decide to do it, what will be there? it is difficult to plan an event like this in a normal year in a normal timeframe.. but this would like 3 months..

sometimes people you reach out to don't respond for 3 months.

I wish the BOD luck on their decision and getting it organized in a short amount of time if they do proceed

FYI's
Because of the crappy weather with several Board
Members being without power/electricity,
we (the ZR-1 Net Registry BOARD OF DIRECTORS)
were forced to postpone today's meeting where the
plan was to discuss The 2021 Gathering. We will meet
ASAP and inform our MEMBERS with any decisions.

PS: DAMN, this all SUCKS!

alot depends on the Corvette Museum and the whole world opening back up.


I don't worry much about covid driving so maybe another mountain run and a modified driving gathering would work if museum closes.


How is beech bend being friendly towards the drags??



Looking forward to seeing old friends and of course the ZR-1s

[Young1]

I am in agreement with rkreigh. Let?s not allow museum plans to ultimately determine a ZR-1 mountain gathering and driving experience.

George? Robert?
Thoughts about MR8?

Can I throw out a back up plan....if the Corvette museum is a no go, they are having events at the Barber Motorsports Museum in Leeds, AL. In case you don't know it is a world class driving track, a world class museum FEATURING LOTUS cars including a never delivered 90 ZR-1 in as pulled off delivery truck condition. Mr. Barber LOVES Lotus, they have meeting rooms, observation rooms for the track and on track driving (there's logistics to that, would likely need to be done in conjunction with a track rental group to reduce cost).
