I am planning on attending. It is going to be a really good event and with the special guests that are coming if you are even considering trying to make this I'd say do it! Besides the guests it is a great group of people and always a good time.

Went last year and enjoyed the tour of the Corvette plant. Cost a little more to get private tour but we saw more than the lower priced touring crowd. If you go to the C4 gathering make sure you are taking either a LT4 or a LT5 engined C4. There is very little interest or information on the L98 or the LT1. Half of the seminar teachers didn't show up, the exhaust seminar was for the LT5, the transmission swap teacher never showed up. I was very dissapointed to not get any performance information on a LT1.

I believe the key word is the C4 Gathering. I'm going for the fellowship more than the seminars and l'll get a chance to check out some LT4 and ZR1 cars.

I'll be there late Friday morning. I'd be there sooner, but have to work on Thrusday. [sigh].
Anyway, it is going to be a great show. Lot of "who's who" in C4 Corvettes, brakes, suspension, historical stuff, replacement single and dual disc clutches for the C4 Veleo (no longer made), LT5 builds capped off with big inch LT5 build techniques which will adjorn to the patio area where you can hear the big, bad boys, and talk to the owners (and maybe even sweat talk your way into a ride in one!
And, lots of faces to put with names - the best part of all!
See ya there!

See you on Thursday evening or Friday morning, Daniel. I'll be on Corvette Blvd with a friend doing the Ron Fellows Z06 Xperience.

See you then.
If you see a purple '96 with MS Retired Military plates, that'll be me and Missus. Stop and say Hi!

The CE looked good last year! I stood out and got rained on checking it out
We plan on leaving at O'Darkthirty on Wednesday probably around 3am or at least by 3. It takes us about 10 hours or so trailering from our place to the NCM parking lot. We go from Alexandria to Monroe, Monroe to Vicksburg and Jackson, Jackson to Memphis, Memphis to Nashville then a short hop to BG. What route will you be taking?
...Daniel, when are you headed up? We're leaving sometime Wednesday morning....
