If during the winter, Then yes... Can't drive it so putting it on display for all to see is the next best thing.

They would let you keep it on display for 3 months? What if everyone wanted to do this, as I'm sure they only have so much floor space.

Great opportunity. You may want to look at the time involved and the cost to and from the NCM. I would certainly consider an enclosed trailer for the transport.

I think this would be a really cool thing to do, but a one month stint would make more sense.

And that would be about what I could do w/o without going into major-league withdrawals. It would also have to be in one of those spots where you could watch it 24/7. It would be fun to try and lip read those folks who are looking at it.

The Corvette clubs in our region each submit 2 entries and they choose 1 from all the entries. Was just thinking about entering mine. But they would probably want it during the prime driving season too!!
