Z06 Fest Bowling Green

I am new to Z06vette .com so I hope I am doing this correctly!

I am leaving from Northbrook IL. on Wednesday the 9th. for Bowling Green. I am also thinking about a side trip on Friday the 11th. to "Tail of The Dragon" at Deals Gap. I heard this is the ultimate drive.

Re: Z06 Fest Bowling Green

Yes, this is the right place to put this post, and welcome aboard.

Looking forward to having you join us at the Z05Fest, you won't be sorry you came.

Not sure how many folks will go to Deals Gap on Friday, that is the day of the drag racing at Beech Bend, but who knows.

Also, be very careful, Tennessee State troopers are all over the Tail of the Dragon these days, so if you are expecting a spirited drive through the Dragon, you might be disappointed.

Mark

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Definitely agree with Tomasy! This "Tour" has become one of the best things about the Fest!

Re: Z06 Fest Bowling Green

I am new to Z06vette.com but not new to Z06 Fest. I have been to every Fest since 2003. I love the tours. I have them scheduled already. I just don't think I want to drag race my car. So I thought I would go check out Deals Gap that day. I am not sure if I am going to the gap or not.

Re: Z06 Fest Bowling Green

Where do you guys get the cool banners on your replies. Also is there a place to get Z06vette.com t-shirt or merchandise? I have seen people walking around wearing stuff but never asked where they got it.

Re: Z06 Fest Bowling Green

There are NCM-organized tours that you sign up for. Perhaps that's what you've done.
There are Z06Vett.com-organized events, one being the aformentioned cruise led by Mark. If you know what WART stands for, you've been on Mark's cruise. If not, cancel whatever you've got scheduled for Thurs from AM thru early PM and check in at the Baymont Wed for schedule.

Re: Z06 Fest Bowling Green

I don't know what WART stands for but we did the Wart tour with Adam from NCM 4 years ago and it was the best ride we ever had. I already talked to mdickie and am planning on the Makers Mark Tour. So what does WART stand for? If there are other events planned for Z06vette .com I would love to find out about them. The NCM tours are not as spirited as they used to be.
