Bowling Green (who hasn't been there)

[White Bullet]

I have been to BG once and really enjoyed it. I would like to attend "The Gathering" but I will need to convince the wife which hopefully will not be to difficult. From the sound of it I will learn a lot and man I sure need it .

I've always wanted to go. 2009 may be the year for me. Doubt that I'll take the Z, but I think I would have a good time getting to know some of the good people on this forum as well as finally getting to see the museum.

Glad to hear that you will try to make it to the Gathering. You are right, it is a great chance to meet the ZR-1 folks.

Here is a link to the NCM site where you will be able to register for the events that are run by the NCM. It appears that the on-line registration is not available yet.

Okay, thanks Jim for posting this!

I guess that this is the official date as it is on the web site at NCM? I'm gonna put in for that week asap so my bid for the time is near the top of the list.
I hope I get a favorable response from my new boss!
This will be my first gathering, if I get the bid....and I've owned my car since 12/04 and every time I bid on the date I got shut out.

Barring the unforeseen, I will be there this year (already have my room reservation & will register at NCM as soon as that opens). Thank goodness it's not on Mother's Day weekend.

For those who have never been, I can't encourage you enough or tell you enough how rewarding & enjoyable the experience really is. My first trip to BG was to the 1st Corvette Forum gathering. Haven't been back to any CF gatherings but have made several ZR-1 gatherings as well as the Anniversary Cruise In in 2003. The best ones have always been the ZR-1 gatherings and largely because of the people in attendance.

I plan on attending this year with the Z. Trying to get a couple of other club members with ZR-1's to attend as well.

Currently the museum is undergoing a 47,000 sq. ft. expansion project. It will be almost complete during the gathering, but will be nice to see.

George, thanks for posting your pictures. My wife and I attended in 2005 and I enjoyed looking at your gallery. It was a good show, a nice drive, and overall a very nice weekend.

Thanks again,
Scott

Has anyone considered going early and taking in Gorden's ZR-1 School? I plan to do so. I hear from others it's more fun if there is a group. Gorden has his schedule posted on the ZR-1 Registry.

Cheers.

BG is a must attend event. There is much to do and many people to meet. Friendly bunch and lot's of ZR1 talk. Being that this year dosent fall on Mothers Day weekend , turnout should hopefully be a bit larger. We have guys coming from the PNW as well as Canada and sometimes some of the chaps from across the pond enjoy the event. That statement alone backs up the....must attend event.

For the folks that would rather not drive for one reason or another can catch a flight to Nashville or Louisvelle.
