New Z owner - interesting history - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

evl_twn · 07-18-2006

I just registered here, I've been on corvetteforum for a couple of months. I just sold my 1995 Pace Car and brought home my ZR-1. I'll probably be posting a ton of questions once I start going through the car, but here's some info I got with the car, and some pictures from the trip home that I took in TN and NC:

If anyone has any information on this car, or any pictures from the road tour in 1994, I'd love to see it!!

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian from Illinois, Congrats and welcome to the ZR-1 brotherhood. I took a look at your web site and you have a most impressive collection of bikes there! I am sure from your past pace car ownership and events you already know what the corvette world is all about! Well get ready because you have just entered the "ZR-1 Zone" and along with the Z-06 groups you will find the the true Corvette "NUTZ". Again welcome and congrats on becoming part of the elite....

Ahhh yes my BEAST.... I've wanted one for quite a few years and I finally bought one back in September of 2005. I love sportscars in general. Sean (my husband) and I have a passion for the culinary arts, cooking and trying gourmet foods. We also like to drag race and get together with our car friends. He is honing up on his photography skills, and I dabble with amature modeling just for fun. I also love the southeast group of 3si and have formed a close relationship with a lot of them over the years. My "Litte Red Corvette"...Burns gas and rubber! Its a 1999 FRC 6 speed vette. Its my obsession My friend Mikes' Hayabusa...cool bike! Too bad I'm terrified to ride or drive one=) __________________________________________________ ______________

Do you know her Brian???

evl_twn · 08-19-2006

Nope, don't know her. I've been to Deal's Gap and most of the surrounding area several times, at least once a year since 1999. When I bought my Z I drove it home from Orlando, and stayed overnight in Robbinsville, NC so I could hit a few of the familiar twisties with the Z

. Darryl is the guy who runs www.killboy.com, and they are up there every weekend most of the year, and pretty much every DAY during the spring to fall season. I've been on the front page of killboy.com before, I think it was last year in May. I do recognize the location of the wedding though. That's in the front yard of one of the rental houses that Ron & Nancy own, they are the ones who run the site www.tailofthedragon.com I saw those pics on killboy a couple weeks ago, it was during a Mitsu Evo rally/gathering I think.
