C4 presentations at Bowling Green?
The ZR-1 "Brotherhood of the Beast" and the GS guys are pretty well organized, and each are addressing some agenda items and presentations for the gathering. But the ZR-1 guys in particular are making an effort to see that the rest of the C4 bretheren are not left out; we love all our buddies (even the GS guys )!
Our ZR-1 Registry Activities Director (Dave Johnson) is reaching out to find some guest speakers to talk about the Corvette Challenge cars which will be of interest to ALL C4 guys. And, he's working on getting us some time at Beach Bend to do some drag racing.
And, another of the presentations the FBI ZR-1 gang is working on is a "101" approach to tuning our Corvettes, and another presentation on the dual disc clutch kits by RAM. (The dual disc presentation pertains especially to big inch LT5 cars. But! The Veleo clutch is no longer made, so you SBC 383 and 396 guys might like to sit in on that one too, or anybody else that likes to drag race "a bit", but hates replacing clutches!)
I'm not sure if the GS guys are going to have a rousing seminar on "How to Check the VIN Number for a Real GS", or maybe "Ways to Re-attach Fender Flairs", or the like, J K , but the Z brothers for sure would like to see as many C4 guys and cars as possible come May 17-19 in Bowling Green.
Hope to see ya there! Oh, and our beloved monitor, Mr. "HP Bushrod" wants a ride in a Z. I know JUUUST the guy to do that too!

The last time I had my car out at the track it was for a ZR-1 event. I hadn't intended to race, just watch. After I saw about the 10th ZR-1 struggle to get into the 13's I decided I'd run. I had fun sticking it to a few ZR-1 drivers with my "lowly" LT1.
Granted there were plenty out there who could kick my butt too.
At the end of the day a good time was had by all and that's what's important.

Last time out, I blew a hole in one of my intake runners and sucked a quart or two of coolant through the engine (got too thin after some porting, but didn't show up for two year after.), and I still ran a 13 flat at 115 mph ON 6-7 CYLINDERS!). (Shoulda been in the low 12s at least!)

Melting Slicks
Sounds interesting. I have driven my '91 to the museum, but not during a "gathering".
I can think of a few reasons though why I would not be cutting my best time slips at a track that is hundreds of miles from my home.
Poor driving would not be one of them.

OR! Just come n watch! There will be a few big inch LT5s (stroked and sleeved) there, putting out north of 650 crank hp. These are 10-second cars that drive in city traffic, sounding like stockers.
