Senior Guru

It is scheduled for May 13, 14, 15.
I plan to be there (unless there is a glitch at work with taking the time off). I have also volunteered my 91 to be a model for a new C4 frame brace that stiffens up the C4 and does not restrict access to the running gear/exhaust system like the C4 vert brace and aftermarket X braces do. Just sent an e-mail to the designer to see how the project is going. Unable to release specifics yet though as I do not have that permission. I just hope this does not turn out to be another BBK ghost project though.  http://www.corvettemuseum.com/registration/gathering/info.shtml |

I am thinking about it. I am going to go to the NCM this year, and the C4 gathering may be the time.

I am going, for those of u that have never made the trip
you should really consider it. Drag racing, all kinds of events and tech/ speakers, dancing girls, BG is a pretty area of the country. Museum is awesome to tour, great time, we'd love to have more C4's represent. A bunch of cars are doin a caravan this year, some will meet at my place, any and all are welcome to join in. |

Yes, that's me on the right at Beech Bend Raceway a couple of years back, We rent the track so one can line up as needed and let r rip, small fee, worth every penny, all kinds of special events this year with it being the ZR1's 20th Anniversary. Check out the registration, link at the top of this post. We need more C4's.

I booked it at the Holiday Inn U-Plaza. It was either a double bed smoking room, or a King and sofa non-smoking. I went for the non. They didn't seem to have many left. If you are wanting to go, we can split the room. It was $100/night. |

I might take you up on the split. I first have to see if the old lady wants to go. If she does, then I'll book a room for her and I instead. |

If you have a helmet i would suggest you bring it along. Depending on your schedule we have a group, meeting at my place in Lake st. Louis, mo, and caravaning down to the gathering, you'd be welcome to join, that goes for any of our guru's. |

If you guys will pick a meet spot, day and time, I'm only about 45 minutes away. I'd love to drive the 79 up and meet some of ya'll. I've been once but I'm not real familiar with the area so I wouldn't know where a good place would be.
(i'm from TN, i have to say ya'll. it's the law.) |

I am driving in on Thursday, and back on Saturday. I may have to leave a little earlier than I was thinking. Are there any of the events that I need to sign up for. I would really like to get a few passes in on the strip.
