Default Poll: NCM Events

I'm going to the National Corvette Museum this year for one of the Special events. There are 2 I'm interested in.

1. The C-4 Gathering - May 8-10, 2008.

2. The Corvette Forum Cruise-In - May 22-24, 2008.

Any comments about one over the other?

I'm leaning towards the C-4 Gathering right now, but...

One thing I want to do for sure, is pick up a window sticker, build sheet and black book combo while I'm there.

Also if anyone wants to caravan down there, that would be cool to be a part of as well.

I think you better order those items ahead of time. I am not sure they will be able to provide that stuff on the spot, especially during a big event where there are thousands of people.

You can order them from their web site, and it takes a week or two to get to you.

I was going to order in advance so i could pick it up in person. (I think that would add to the experience.)

Do they do the factory tours as part of these events?

Factory tours are only held Monday through Friday. And it's best to have reservations in advance.
Details: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/plant_tours/index.shtml

If your at an NCM event on a weekend, there will be no factory tour.

The Forum Cruise-in looks more like what I had in mind. Any racing at the C4 thingy?

Well the forum Cruise In is directly related to this forum. You will meet more forum members at the Cruise In. The gathering attracts a few folks as well, but not all are forum members. Main difference, you will get all generations at the Cruise In.

The Cruise-In is out for me. The wife informs me that our daughter graduates from high school that week-end. (Probably a good idea to attend it)

So, it looks like I'll be going to the C4 Gathering. Oh, well, that gives me something different to do next year.

I went to the Forum Gathering last year, and I'll be honest, I was a little disappoined with the turn out. I thought it was going to be huge!!!
Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed meeting the people from the forum and all, but I was thinking there was going to be alot bigger turn out. Here is a few pic from last years Forum NCM Meeting.These pics were from the back road cruz. As you can see not to many C4's. It was fun though!!!
