This is a must do event for anyone that hasn't attended one. This will be my 3rd event to participate in and until the old girls elevator stops working will sign up for every event in the future. Some pictures from 2011...

 

I have been down a couple of times, It's always fun. Hope to make it this year.

How do you get back to your hotel? Thanks, Lisa

 

We brought a second car, so we would have transportation for the two days the Corvette was on the Lexington.

 

The hotels listed are walking distance from the Lexington. Plus there are several eating places nearby so everything is walking distance from the Lex..

 

Thanks and thanks.

 

This event sounds like fun but I can't stand congestion, mob scenes, and waiting in line at restaurants. Like to hear from those who have been...is it like this??

 

No not at all. This will be my 3rd time going and each time it gets better and better. From the time you load till you unload this event is like no other Corvette you will ever attend. Just to have pictures taken of your car on the flight deck of a US Navy Aircraft Carrier is well worth $125 in my book..

 

All the Hotels are within walking distance, except the Omni, Ive stayed at the Omni and they have a shuttle van. Its only across the bridge!

If not, a cab will probably be a 7.00 to 10.00 ride!

 

Yes everything but the Omni is walking distance and we will again have a shuttle that runs once every hour from the Lex to the Omni hotel. We try our best to accommodate everyone and make the event as enjoyable as we can. We have never had any complaints about mob scenes or long lines. We are sure that you will enjoy yourself and it's for a great cause too.

 

How hard is it to get tickets? Does it sell out?

It's on our list !!!

 

It does sell out, Send registration form on the opening date.

 

I wouldnt wait past April 3rd!

I be there and staying at The Radisson

 

Okay, another question.

How is the registration done?

Is it something you print and mail in or is it an online submission?

Thanks again to all!

 

Yes you print, fill out and sign the registration and mail it in with your check or money order payment made out to Vettes and Jets. We do not do the Paypal or credit card thing due to the 2% to 3% service charges. The registration form will be available starting 01 April 2013 via our web site at www.vettesandjets.org
Thank you all for your support!

 

Registration is one week away!!!
