They never asked last year if you were registered when parking. As long as you had a Corvette, you could park in the lot.

I am trying to schedule some time off and the attend the event with my GF. I probably will be staying at the Marriott Courtyard. I will be in my 2012 CE ZR1. The ZR1 was a museum delivery car and really wants to return home for the first time. 
My avatar photo was taken when I was at the museum in 1996 in my 435hp 1967 roadster.

Tail of the Dragon
I still have not formulated a real idea of what activities to do at the bash, however I do want to go up there. Just a day at the national museum with a bunch of fellow enthusiasts would be a super experience.
Sitting in lectures about the C7 design is listed on the website event schedule, but I am not sure that is really appealing to me; ... I could be wrong. A big parking lot tailgate scene could be good, but i tailgate often and it takes my Suburban fully loaded to get the gear to a site to pull that off.
The Tail of the Dragon is a drive I would sure like to do. This quoted post suggests there is something to sign up for to do that. I have studied on the Bash events calendar, and not found that. Any input from the repeat attendees?
Thanks for any ideas, comments. I really want to go, and I did make a room resvn a while back.

Are there any cruises involved in the Bash? I don't see anything on the itinerary. I would like to get out and drive instead of sitting in a folding chair all weekend.

and a few people usually have cruises of their own.
There will be plenty to do. See you there,

I got my hotel room reserved (Marriott Courtyard) and am excited about my first Corvette event of the new year!
But, am I the only one that is actually thinking about waiting to register for the event with the NCM until one can get a 10 day advance weather forecast for those days? I mean 'April showers' is more than just a cliche'. I am a bit reluctant to make a monetary commitment for an April event and we get a record breaking monsoon over those days.

I'm not really too worried about the $15 registration fee. 
Besides, if someone registers and then is unable to attend, the folks at the museum are great about sending the stuff (lanyard, name badge, event pin, t-shirt if ordered) in the mail so you'd still have them as mementos.
