I attended the event last year. While it was interesting it is geared way more toward ZR-1s and Grand Sports but n fairness they are the ones putting on the event. Out of about 60 C-4s there I saw 3 base models and one was an anniversary. The others were my 89 and a white one leaking radiator fluid.

I went on the VIP plant tour and walked the museum and gift shop but didn't sign up for track day, big mistake. SIGN UP FOR TRACK DAY !!!!

For some real fun join us for the 3 day Mountain Run prior to the C4 event. I enjoyed it much more than the C4 event.

I haven't been to the C4 Gathering in over two years, but I'm going to try to make it this year. DON'T let the fact that you don't have a ZR-1 or Grand Sport (I don't) deter you from coming! Come for the C4 fellowship! It's worth the trip alone.

It's usually mon, tue & wed before the C4 gathering, it's usually around N Georiga, Tenn, NC, KY area and is put on by the ZR-1 group.
3 days of mountain road driving including the Dragon ending up at Bowling Green. I'm only assuming there will be one this year, haven't heard for sure.

Looks cool but I'm lucky to get the time to go NCM can't do the whole week. Dragon is fun but Ive only done it on a bike. My son and I rode it last summer.

This is so TRUE. More people and interests in other parts of C4 ownership and history will only enhance this event.
