It was great. And the kid who was in charge of keeping it for registered veterans did an amazing job. Nice nice kid.

We took advantage of the discount right now and ordered our Fun Field pass for 2016. Hotel room all set up (different hotel this year). Not looking to wish summer away already, but it's hard to wait.
Ever think of doing this twice a year?

I'd recommend Bloomington Gold in June and of course there's always Fun Fest in September

I love Corvettes at Carlisle too, but once a year is perfect for the NE.

Too far for us to travel. It's just that we enjoy CAC too much. So we'll do GM as usual to tide us over. You guys do too good of a job!!

Lance, can you give us some more details of the "new 4 day format"? Specifically, what is Thursday going to look like? Previously we've come on Friday and Saturday, since Sunday didn't have much. Will Thursday be like another Friday and Saturday in terms of seminars and presentations, etc., or will it be more like an early version of Sunday?

We're working on the schedule now. I'm certain people on this forum would be happy to fill you in on how Thursdays are leading up to the event. We've had MANY requests to start a day early, hence we're finally pulling the trigger this year. Our plans are to have selective seminars, presentations & etc. Once we lock in details, I'll be sure to let everyone know on the forum as well.

Happy Holidays,

Lance

It's been a few year's since I've been to CAC; hopefully I'll be able to make it in 2016! I think the last time was back in 2009 or 2010!

Merry Christmas Lance!! Looking forward to 2016 Corvette Weekend. Are you going to offer your early sign up special again this year???
Opening up for 4 days WOW. Isn't that going to diminish Sunday's attendance???

The early bird special started the day after Thanksgiving. It ends Dec 31, or this Thursday! So if you want to spend $61 instead of $75, you better get registered today.

Locked in my early bird special rate at the last minute! Looking forward to August 2016. Hotel recommendations wanted! Been to a couple mediocre places last two years. Anything that's decent with a nearby restaurant?
