2011 Corvette Forum Cruise-In
May 26-28, 2011

The annual Corvette Forum Cruise-In provides the on-line community a chance to meet up in person. Participants are representative of the full spectrum on Corvette enthusiasts covering all generations and all kinds of interests, the common threads being Corvette and fun in combination.

New for 2011 will be the American Warrior Recognition day as part of the Thursday activities of the Forum Cruise-In Event. The Memorial Day weekend is a significantly appropriate time to thank our military members and recognize their service to the United States and the world. Volunteers will be asked to caravan from the NCM to either Ft Campbell or Ft Knox, pick up a Wounded Warrior and transport them back to the NCM for a day of tours of the Museum and the Assembly Plant along with a luncheon before returning the warriors to their respective bases. Drivers will be included in the luncheon and Forum participants can register for the lunch as well.

This year’s program continues with a wide range of seminars, local and long distance road tours and on-site activities including a presentation of the 2012 Corvette and the new Bowling Green Assembly Plant Manager.
Advance registration closes at 5:00pm central time on Wednesday May 11th. All activities are open to Event Registrants only. Advance registrants will receive a hardcard credential, lanyard and event pin. Lifetime registration is $10pp, member registration is $15pp and non-member registration is $25pp.

The BG Assembly Plant operates on a Monday through Thursday schedule and is closed on Fridays. Plant Tours are $7.00 per person and are booked at the plant or on-line.
