I Agree, only 300 Corvettes will be allowed on the Flight Deck, but there will be a Carshow as well and Im sure there will be many Corvettes on the Parking Lot!

I didnt sign up but will go meet all the Corvette Crowd! ! !

Might want to check the lift details. I've heard that if you're not in line at the 5 am appointed time, you might not get included in the staging for the lift. Look at post #51 in this thread:
