Default Advice for Bash First Timer

Hello all,
Headed to the Bash this week. First time and looking forward to it!

Any advice from those that have been? (Restaurants to hit, parking, misc?)

Thanks in advance!

The Montana Grille on the main drag in town is a big fancy place if you want one meal like that. I thought the train museum did a good job. Airplane museum is OK if you are into that.
The Corvette update & plant update were always great with the former personnel talking, but the programs may not be the same now. The racing banquet is good. Sold out early last year.
Welcome to the club!
I will be picking up my new coupe (R8C) on Wednesday and taking my first road trip with the group (HotRod MotorTel Luncheon #LT3) on Thursday!

Hello Mike from a fellow Iowan. I live in CR. Thanks for the advice and congrats on the delivery. "Someday" when my Z06 Order is picked up I will be doing the same.
