Topic: C3VR at the NCM Caravan/Anniversary
in Forum: Annual C3VR Member Gathering

We too experienced the 14' ride. WAY to many cars. Elbow to elbow in many ways. Lines didn't move as expected, food ran out, decals removed. An experience to remember. Once is enough.

I can’t say I’ve heard of issues with long lines and backups for the caravan (although I can certainly envision it - I know I hear it all the time regarding the Hot Rod Power Tour). As I noted, my experience is limited - one Anniversary celebration with one Caravan group (and that group includes only two states - MI and IN). I’m even working a plan to take older cars off the Interstate and onto the Dixie Highway (US 31) so we can take a more leisurely pace
Again, my one time on the Caravan was very positive, but I know things happen and I obviously can’t guarantee how this one will go. But I’m not trying to encourage or discourage anyone from attending. I’m only saying that if you do, we should try to get together 😁
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
My wife June and I are going to attend the event this year. We will have been been NCM members for 25 years by then, but we haven't been to the NCM (or that part of the US) since 2003 I think. We did two Caravan events, travelling with friends from So Cal, back in '99 and for the 50th celebration. The museum was busy, but we did and saw all we wanted to, and got plant tours etc. For this trip we are planning on a plant tour and I'd like to see/try out the Motorsports Park.
The NCM has changed out of all recognition since our last visit, so it'll be exciting, and of course the numbers of visitors may have doubled! So we'll see.......
Hopefully we can meet a few C3VR members during the weekend👍
Alas, our '78 will not be making the journey - I think we will be in a rented M*stang!😱

The plant is closed to tours as of now. Don't know when it might open back up.
Yes, thank, I saw that. I've actually spoken to the girl who is dealing with that aspect, but they cannot put anything in place until a few weeks before the event apparently, as they have to wait on the BG Assembly Plant to give them the "green light".
We have the slight advantage of being in the area for a few days after the event weekend, so if it's really jammed, we can probably do the tour later!
