Thanks for the welcome.
I had a '90 roadster for a couple years in the late '90s, early '00s and sold it just as I found the Salem vette group, so I never got to interact with them. I saw about 20 of them go through Ind. as I was heading out on my FZ1 last Sunday. I did go on a couple runs with the PDX group though. Lots of fun.

Thanks all.
I now have a 2002 Z06, torch red with Borla and a shift kit. Got it cheap - 75K mi., $17K, and now I know why. It sometimes grinds going into first if you don't stop first. I can deal with it tho'. I'm retired and am reading how to R n R the trans. Other than that it is gorgeous and fast.
I'll look up activities here, thanks.

Congrats on the Z06! I wondered how you could wait for a ZR1. Welcome to the Forum.
