ZR-1 Net Registry
ZR-1 Net was developed as a free service in September of 1994 by David Bright after seeing a need for all ZR-1 owners and enthusiasts from all over the world to communicate with each other. Dave made it easy for enthusiests to use the "Information Super-Highway" and preserve the ZR-1 legend.
In 2004, a decision was taken expand ZR-1 Net to offer more, such as a quarterly newsletter and representation at all the major Corvette Shows. The name also changed from the "ZR-1 Net" to the "ZR-1 Net Registry".
The ZR-1 Net Registry was created as a non-profit club with officers, elections, bylaws, etc. The membership kit includes our annual Registry T-Shirt, window decal, membership badge, electronic newsletter and more.
The ZR-1 Net Registry continues bringing enthusiests together via our online forum as well as our increasing number of car shows and events throughout the country.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
