ZR-1 Gathering West! It's a GO! 26-29 Oct 2006 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

guinnessdood · 07-12-2006

OK y'all it's official. There will be a ZR-1 Gathering West this year! WooHoo!! I'm stoked! The dates for the Gathering will be 26-29 Oct 2006. (Thursday - Sunday) Those of us that are organizing the event wanted to get the word out early regarding dates for those that need to make vacation/travel arrangements. Events planned include Kart Racing, Banquet with Guest Speaker, Road Course Racing, Poker Run, Multiple Cruises through some VERY awesome country, plenty of time to gamble and get this....

MILE RUN SHOOTOUT AT NELLIS AFB ON THE RUNWAY
It isn't guaranteed yet but we are 95% confident that it will happen.

There will be a small get together much like the Gathering on Wednesday 25 October in the evening (no actual events on Wednesday). Events will begin bright and early on Thursday, 26 October.

I will post more information about it when I have it. This will be the first of many "Gathering West" events. Make your travel plans accordingly and come on out! It looks like the hotel wil be the newly built Santa Fe Station in the north part of Las Vegas (please do not book your room yet...we are getting a special group rate). Details will be coming shortly. Also during this same timeframe...NHRA Las Vegas Nationals...WAY cool...

If you would like to indicate that you WILL attend or maybe attend...please do so. If you are a Las Vegas local that would like to help out...please e-mail me at guinnessdood@yahoo.com

I actually read about at the CF. I don't really like that cause I pay for this forum and I would sure like to see it flourish more.

John,,,for your viewing pleasure...
The Wing Chief of Staff just approved the Mile Shoot-out and a possible race against one of the fighters for the winner...
WooHoo!!

All,

OK...here's what's up with the Gathering West.

We need everyone that plans to attend and will be
staying at Santa Fe Station to call the Santa Fe
Station and make your reservation. Remember...you can
cancel your reservation if you have to...but the idea
is to get the rooms booked so that we don't lose them
at our discounted price! They don't allow us to hold
the rooms all the way up to the beginning of the
event.

Would like to know about interest in a Evening
Banquet/Dinner with a guest speaker... (please e-mail
me with your thoughts about this...good or bad)

Nellis AFB Mile Run is still planned as a primary
event to be held on Saturday, Oct 28th. We have been
working with the SCCA with regard to insurance and
setting up the event. In the event that the Mile Run
does not work out...our alternative event will be an
Autocross with the SCCA.

The Gathering West Registration page will be up within
the next week and I will post the website so everyone
that plans to attend can register. The registration
fee will be $75. The fee will include Commerative
Glassware, Trophies, and the Wednesday Evening Social
(Oct 25th).

Road Racing at the Outside Road Course at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway is planned for Sunday, Oct 29th in
conjunction with Lapping Days (www.lappingdays.com).
The cost is $240.

There will be two or three cruises.
1.) Valley of Fire (Saturday Oct 28th) - about an
hour north of Las Vegas. This tour will take place
after the Nellis AFB event and will stop at Gary
Patterson's place for a BBQ and a Tech Session. The
BBQ cost will be $15 per person and include food and
drinks. The tech session will be in Gary's garage (he
has a lift) and include changing out radiator hoses
(new Samco Hoses) and possibly the radiator and
thermostat. A plenum pull and secondary
troubleshooting session will happen at the same time
in the space next to the lift. The tech session will
be hosted by Marc Haibeck.
2.) Red Rock Canyon (Friday Oct 27th) - We did this
tour in March. It is beautiful! A 13 mile loop
through some really gorgeous country.
3.) Hoover DamCruise/Tour (Thursday Oct 26th) -
Cruise to Hoover Dam and tour the dam. or as an
alternative...Cruise Around Town - Just as it
says...cruising around Las Vegas.

Kart Racing (Thurs or Fri) - Fast Lap Indoor Kart
Racing in 200CC karts...very fast and very fun...heat
races and a final race...

POSSIBLE....needs further discussion regarding
times....Morning Tech Sessions (Thurs&Fri Oct
26th&27th) - Technical Q&A discussions in the morning
at Santa Fe Station. Various Topics...come out for
coffee and donuts (no cops allowed!)

Hi Y'all!
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I'm trying to email
Lane Goldstein (Fastlane) to invite him to the ZR-1 Gathering West.
His emails bounce back, and I can't find his website anymore.
HELP!?!
Can't believe he has totally abandoned his legacy..........
