All,

This is a very, very BIG event in Corvette Land! Something for everyone...autoX, HPDE, drag racing, cruises, shows, tours, tech clinics, and many social events. NCM welcomes back the exciting Corvette enthusiasts of the internet forum group "Corvette Forum" for their cruise-In, May 24-27! This event is open to ALL enthusiasts and the NCM invites you to join them for an event like no other that celebrates the Corvette lifestyle.

In an unusual departure from the past, this year's event starts a day early with a high performance driving school at Nashville Superspeedway. Other exciting activities are road tours, drag racing, seminars, a drive-in movie night, a challenging golf classic, go-kart racing and more. Join NCM as they kick off the activities on Thursday, May 25 with drag racing at Beech Bend. A golf scramble at the Trace at Bays Fork - space is limited to pre-registeries only to be a part of this activity - and a free local area road tour are also part of the activities slated for Thursday and the evening rounds off with an "Owner's Night Out" at the Baymont Inn and go-karts at RaceWorld.

Friday's activities start early with a "Drive Through Troubleshooting" school with Gordon Killebrew and autocross at Western Kentucky Universities parking area. The autocross fee to participate is $25 per person and pre-registration is required. A people's choice car show and seminars in the Chevrolet Theater are in store for attendees with the event photo just after the car show awards. The evening winds up for another great owner's night out at the Baymont Inn.

Saturday's activities start with a choice of road tour excursions either to Sumner Crest Winery with lunch at Federal Grove or a scenic drive to Diamond Caverns and lunch at Park Mammoth Resort. These are both drive your own Corvette activities, limited to 68 participants each and you must pre-register to participate. Seminars and a free guided scenic tour are part of the day's activities before caravanning to the 1869 Homestead B&B where guests will enjoy a dinner at the home of the Museum's executive director. A drive-in movie at the old fashioned Franklin Drive In caps off the evening and is free to dinner registrants. Registration to the excursions and dinners are required - so be sure to add these activities to your weekend plans when registering.

These exciting activities are in store for registered participants of this year's Corvette Forum Cruise-In. The event is co-hosted by Corvetteforum.com and the NCM.

Is anyone other than myself attending? I know of a couple of people from the District and Maryland who are going and we are planning on driving over on the 24th.

I will probably be going to this. As of right now I am unsure of which events I'll be partaking of...it all sounds cool but I need to make up my mind soon.

This is a 'don't miss' event!

Laurie, I suggest you decide quickly as Bowling Green's motels are very quickly filling up. The Corvette Museum event page lists all the motels/hotels in the area and further indicate which ones give a discount. Also, if you intend to take a tour of the assembly line remember that you must register for it separately http://www.bowlinggreenassemblyplant.com/tour_information.html ($5). Also, it appears that RoscoeC5 is again running his BBQ starting Wednesday night through Friday night - Saturday nite is the CF gathering and you can register for this on the CF SE events section. Should be plenty to do/see. So far I am driving there on Wednesday. taking the Plant Tour on Thursday, the Dyno and Seminars on Friday, one of the cruises on Saturday, and driving home on Sunday. I'll use Monday, Memorial Day, to rest and recuperate. [\:D/]

Yes, I know that the hotels fill up fast and that I need to decide soon. Got a lot on my plate planning events and haven't had much time to sit and think about it.

Thanks for the additional information though....very useful!

Would I be correct in believing that I am the sole NVCC member going to the cruise in this year? If not, I would like to discuss caravaning to Bowling Green. Planning on leaving early (0530) on Wednesday the 24th.
