Just from an historical perspective, the 1st F-body Gathering at the NCM in Bowling Green was held in 2001. For those who may have never visited or attended an event there, the NCM is basically just across the road from the Bowling Green assembly plant. A visit to that facility. as well as the NCM ought to be on the agenda of every car enthusiast, no matter what he/she drives. It's an amazing experience!

I was fortunate enough to attend all of the subsequent F-body Gatherings in B.G. from 2002 until the very last one there in 2006... all unbelievably enjoyable and immensely rewarding. There is a ton of stuff to do in the area and our events made use of Beech Bend Motorsports Park for drag racing and autoX events.

My experience has always been that the event staff at the NCM, under Events Manager Roc Linkov and assistant Adam Boca have always made a point going the extra mile to ensure a smoothly run and enjoyable event.

The fact that the NCM has a motorsports complex in the works has been known publicly now for a couple of years. Contributions to this end are gratefully accepted by the NCM.

Based on my experience (as well as others in our community), I strongly believe that the Camaro and Firebird brotherhood/sisterhood would benefit immeasurably should we be able to lock in an annual weekend event there during the season, if it's at all possible. Doing so could could pay huge benefits by ensuring the use of the new motorsports park and all its facilities for 1 weekend per year!!
