Default Corvette bash question?

I’ve never been to museum much less the bash. I’m going this year but just for the museum and only that one day. I’m passing through bowling green basically. Do I need to register for this online? I’m not doing any of the other activities just won’t have the time. Leaving bowling green headed south to the good roads after that one day there.

Default Museum Bash

You can register when you arrive at the Museum. I believe that it costs $5 more than if you register ahead of time online.

I think he just wants to go to the museum WITHOUT joining in any Bash activities.

Does he need to pay for the Bash?

That is my exact plan. I don’t mind pre registering or paying extra at the event. I’ll only be there a day then I’m continuing onward with my trip.

I suggest calling them or e-mailing. I think museum has guided tours as well as go at your own pace.

You do not have to join the Bash to tour the NCM, they are completely separate activities. Stop by the NCM and tour the displays. The entrance fee is reasonable. If you are not driving a Corvette, you will have to park a short distance away, but still reasonable. Enjoy the NCM.

Just show up, show parking is different area than visitor parking. They'll guide you where to park if you're not attending the bash. Walking around is free. Have fun.
