2021 GATHERING?

[Mikey]

2021 will be my first time at this gathering. Fortunately I am not far from either the Corvette Museum or Barber. Have been to both museums and driven many laps on both tracks. Both great venues.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

There WILL be a MR8* (don't we always have to use an asterisk when a plan goes awry?). The big question will be when.

Since we've traditionally scheduled the Mountain Run to coincide with the C4 Gathering at the NCM, I've been waiting for the outcome of the Registry's meeting. If the Board determines to move forward with the Gathering this spring I will lock the dates, block rooms, and make an official announcement. If the Gathering is postponed until later I will look at other scheduling options that would make for a fun, enjoyable, and SAFE Mountain Run.

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).

That is a great idea! Definitely the most awesome museum I have ever been to. I would love to go there again.

I've never been there but the pictures are great of this very large and impressive museum. Wayne Carini did an episode of Chasing Classic Cars on the Barber Museum and track; took an old Indian motorcycle there to run. Had George Barber take him on a few laps of the track--in a Honda Odyssey! If he loves Lotus, he should certainly love a gathering of C4 ZR-1s --Bob

Hey Bob,

Yes, is it an amazing place and the motorcycle collection is beyond belief. I don?t remember much else around the area other than a huge Bass Pro Shop and Outlet Mall. It is the most memorable museum I?ve ever been to, but I have not been to many like Petersen Automotive etc. This would be nice to consider one day though.

Just a thought.

It might prove difficult doing anything yet in the spring.

By summer however, the warm weather combined with the expected growth of vaccinations might better support an event.
Maybe normalcy will be closer at hand.

Perhaps a more intensive Registry presence at Corvettes at Carlisle.

There is plenty of planning time, always a big member turnout, many ZR-1 VIP's usually in attendance, etc. etc.

Again, just a thought.

Good idea, I will likely go to Carlisle but I don't know of any track opportunities there, but don't base it on me. I normally fly due to distance.

There will be no Gathering in May @ NCM this year.. according to an email I received

[DRM500RUBYZR-1]

Disappointing?
Yes, Certainly.
But an unavoidable and wise choice.
