Most of us are going, we will be posting caravan plans as time gets closer.

Pay a visit to the NCM website www.corvettemuseum.com get a list of area hotels and book your room now.

We will have drag racing, autox,car show, BBQ and keg parties. That's just the first day!

Actually, we usually leave the area on Tuesday before Memorial Day, arrive in Bowling Green on Wednesday in time for lunch.

The actual Cruise In begins on Thursday, most racing is done on Friday, last year they split up the autox and drag racing so folks could do both, but the drags got rained out.

Friday is also the car show at the NCM.

Saturday is the dinner at Wendells Homestead and there are driving tours throughout the week.

We usually leave Bowling Green very early on Sunday(like 4:00am) and drive straight through to home.

From central Jersey it's approx 830 miles and about 16 hours.

We stop for bathroom breaks and fuel approx every 200-250 miles.

It's 100% fun.

I'm going to go if I can talk the boss into it. Not sure if he'll give me enough time for the whole trip, but I'll try!
