Monday, August 3 at 8 a.m. C.T. pre-registration closes for the 15th Anniversary Celebration at the National Corvette Museum. This registration is separate from Caravan registration, so don't forget to do both!
Registration is $10 for NCM members, free for lifetime members and non-members can attend for only $50, which includes a one-year NCM membership.
Everyone must register, and those doing so by August 3 will receive a specially designed commemorative event badge, lanyard, event dash plaque, lapel pin and be entered in special drawings. Pre-registered EVENT participants will be entered in a free drawing for $500, $1,000 and $1,500. This applies to 15th Anniversary event participants registered by August 3, not Caravan registrants.

"1964 The Tribute," the #1 Beatles Show in the World according to Rolling Stone Magazine, will be entertaining event guests on Saturday with a free live concert at the Corvette Ampitheater beginning at 4:00 p.m. The two hours of non-stop musical magic will take you back for a nostalgic experience.
Ladies will enjoy the "Women's Oasis" at the FOP Lodge adjacent to the NCM grounds. Sit back and relax with a massage by licensed therapists, get a fresh coat of paint on your nails, create needlepoint of unique Corvette belts, make your own jewelry and browse one of many cosmetics vendors at the indoor, air conditioned haven.
This year's silent auction will top them all with items ranging from Kentucky gift baskets, gift certificates, Corvette items and much more. Can't wait for the NCM to have an autocross facility of our own? Why not try a little golf cart autocross! If you have a greater need for speed on-site Dyno pulls are offered, and drag racing at Beech Bend Raceway is available. Road tour availability changes daily, so if you don't see an opening with your favorites, keep checking back! Click here for a full event agenda! |
