Washington DC-Metro Area GTG and BBQ>>>

[ZR1Vette]

Here it is..the thread to see if we can have a ZR-1 gathering and eats/libations on a nice Sunday. Of course the first step and always the challenging is WHICH Sunday
-must be a nice no rain day
-would include a BBQ or drive to a local watering hole
-should appeal to both ZR-1 driver/nut as well as significant other of any type
-can be at someone's home
-can be a combo of home (starters/gathering point/socializing) then to a watering hole
-must include time to tell lies and stories about our cars and ventures

I will start with a few SUGGESTIONs and if no one wants to do and has a better idea then that is great...open to any reasonable suggestion (no driving to BG and back is not reasonable )>>



Would be glad to host start point (gathering, social, etc) at my house and then we head over to Sweetwater Brew Pub/Tavern in Sterling area.

For a longer drive could head up to Leesburg to Tuscarora Mill>>

And if you really want to spend a day at it drive to Cumberland Maryland to Rocky Gap>>

I have set up several car events at Rocky Gap... two hour drive each way and resort has nice bar/eats. Also on the way is a really cool photo ops site call Sideling Hill Cut...here is my C6 there and could do same shoot but with all ZR-1s>>>

This is definitely a fair weather drive and would have us leave a gathering point at about 9:30 am

So...my ideas and lets here more...but first does anyone want to do a GTG?????

[ZZZZZR1]

I'm flexable.....


Maybe that state park idea and set up a grill for some fixings?


Count me in for whatever!

Mike,

Answer to your main question is YES for me, I am always up for a drive/GTG. I will attend if I am not working that weekend.

Thanks for taking the initiative to get a get-together together. (that is hard to read isn't it.)

Each of your proposals sound great. My suggestion is start the season with a medium length cruise. Tuscarora Mill sounds great.

I would be willing to host an eMail list to contact people about local ZR-1 events. I have a service that I use for my business eMail. I would set it up so that it is secure and anyone can unsubscribe at any time.

Is Rocky Gap a resort/golf course thing off of I-68? If so, we stopped there to and from Bowling Green to eat. It seemed like a neat place.

FYI, I'll be crossing the Atlantic this Sunday, but would be up for a GTG another Sunday.

Great ideas. I'm in as well schedule permitting. Medium-length for a start is a good idea. Where are you heading Bob? I'll be in the UK soon.

Our local car show is Saturday guys in Gaithersburg if you are bored or in need of a short drive. See listing under events. - Keith

Looks like the Leesburg run is in... would you like to gather somewhere first... I will offer my house for that...spend an hour there then group grope head up to Leesburg to Tuscarora Mill for eats etc. ?

BTW...Northern Va Corvette Club has their big Concours event at Koons Chevrolet (Tysons Corner) this Sunday. I am putting the ZR-1 in its first show and I know of two other ZRs that will be there. Koons is clearing out the show room for the event so the primo cars will be there then the huge customer service area becomes the inside parking for all the concours cars and outside will be the street class cars. Weather looks like it is going to be very good (unlike last year when it rained)... so come on by...starts at 10 am.

I'd certainly be interested in getting together. My only concern is when. The sooner we start looking at dates the more likely I'll be able to make it.

Bob, have a safe trip.

[Jagdpanzer]

Count me in!

[HIZNHRZ]

Here are the Sundays between now and the end of July that I could make it.

June 29th
July 13th
July 20th
July 27th

Do these dates work for anyone?

Keith, I can't make your show tomorrow but I am interested in your club. If you wouldn't mind letting me know the next time you meet it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
