Trick question, but how much time does it take to go through the museum?

depends on what you want to see and how long you want to see it. they used to have more prototype zr-1's and c4's there but most of them have been sold off to private collectors. and I haven't been there in a few years

So I'll just plan on the three days of the gathering. Can't wait to meet some of the people.

The whole point is really meeting the people and hanging out at Bob's motorhome for sausage and beer. Maybe even do a little racing weather permitting. The NMC may take a day MAX.

The Gathering at the National Corvette Museum (NCM) has, in my opinion, the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic group associated with a specific genre of Corvette, being the C4/ZR-1.

I have attended for the last three years and have enjoyed all of them, even when I left my car there in 2010 to be repaired!

You won't find a better group of ZR-1 Brothers, PERIOD!

This link will get you to the NCM. I haven't checked lately, but they will post up the event when they open the registration process. Keep watching here in the forum for a specific thread aboutthe '12 Gathering. Dave usually starts that thread and he gives us the skinny on where to stay and all the rest of the stuff.

btw, Hi, I'm Tom. Welcome to the Brotherhood. If you decide to go maybe we should communicate as I'm going this year. I may have to be up in Mystic, CT to pick up a passenger. Maybe we might hook up and convoy down....just a thought, no hard & fast thing, okay?


Tom
