Default Michelin NCM Bash

Anyone going? I've been to the museum several time, but now I have a 18 GS and am thinking of going. What is there to know? I am close to Bowling Green, so I don't need hotel info, just looking for some folks who have done this before. Is it worth the hour and half drive?
Thanks

My wife and I are going and it's our first time too. There is not a lot of forum discussion on the Bash. I'm not sure what we'll be doing either but if nothing else we'll be checking out some very nice Corvettes.

It is ABSOLUTELY worth the drive. This will be my 7th year in a row. The BASH is the event where you will meet and rub elbows with the people who design, build, engineer, sell and service Corvettes. The TOP brass from Corvette will provide all the news on the 2019 model year and will have several 2019's on display. There are a ton of things to do, including seminars, road tours, dinners, etc. You will meet the Corvette Racing Team as well, where they are just coming off a 1st place finish last weekend at Long Beach. There will only be a couple of thousand Corvette enthusiasts, so be prepared to see just about every type of Corvette made. Here's more info on The BASH:

Thanks for the info, sounds like it's worth going to. I think the weather is supposed to be sunny and 70's.

I'm going and have gone multiple times. Driving vette there half the fun. Will be doing track time, museum, the store, checking out all the cars as it's just a good time. I have a five hour drive with my son so good bonding time too!

Do you know if you have to be a member to do track time?
Do they require a helmet or is this more of a laid back cruise on the track, or a full blown competition thing?
thanks
