I have decided to not go this year. Took wife last year and, while fun, wasn't the same not being able to tour the plant. We decided we'd go back when plant tours resumed. I had hoped the C8 would have been revealed by now and this year was going to be very exciting.

I'll be there and know of others from the forum that will be there. Did you sign up for the "Touring Laps"?

Yup, I'll be there, and yup, signed up for the touring laps. May not be quite like a real track day, but should be a blast. Participated in the Vettes for Vets event there last November and had a lot of fun driving the course.

Our little group of 4 Vettes will be there despite not being able to do the plant tour. Should still be fun. We're stopping off in Nashville for a few days before the Bash.

Paid in full for 2 this year back in November, BUT will not go if the plant is closed. I can visit a museum anytime. GM has plenty of notice that it's their party, they better have the plant open.

I will be there. The only event I signed up for was laps on Friday. I plan to hit up buffalo trace distillery on Thursday. The rest of the time I'll be milling about having fun.

Is there a forum dinner planned again this year? I think Overuld (BJ) usually plans the dinner but I don't know if he will be at the Bash this year.

I am taking delivery of my new Z06 the day before the bash and staying for the event. What a great way to celebrate the new ride!

Yes! I've been on that one three times, so that's why I decided to do a different one. I may still stop by Makers Mark while I'm up in the area that day.
