Gentlemen, the course is set the hotels locked in at a guaranteed rate. All we need now are drivers that are not afraid of couple twisty turning roads. 
Last year 9 members of the ZR-1 Net Registry and friends embarked on the first ever mountain run just before the Bowling Green C4 gathering. This year we have the same type adventure planned if you like to drive your Z or Corvette on twisting roads. 
Day 1 will consist of Diamond back, Blue Ridge Parkway and part of old miners 28. 
Day two will consist of six gaps, old miners 28, Smokey mountains and tail of the dragon. 
Day three will be the same as last year Devils triangle on our way to the Corvette Museum. 

Here is the information for the hotels:
May 11th we will meet up at the Holiday Inn express in Blowing Rock, NC the room rate is $65.00 which is fully refundable. If you decide to pay upfront the cost is $62.93
