Vets ‘n Vettes
Sponsored by ExxonMobil
Honoring Those Who Fought for Our Freedom
November 8 – 10, 2018
In 2008 we began a tradition of honoring our veterans with a new event, Vets ‘n Vettes. Thursday kicks off with a full day at the NCM Motorsports Park. Invites will be going out to all our local Veterans in hopes they come to the MSP and catch a ride in a Corvette with another fellow Veteran. Complimentary lunch served to all! With a Meet n’ Greet, road tours, and participation in the Bowling Green Veterans’ Day Parade with lunch afterwards at the local VFW, the event offers veterans, servicemen and women and those who want to support them, a comfortable place to meet and share stories and experiences.
General registration for Vets ‘n Vettes is only $20
Online registration closes at 8:00am central time on Tuesday, October 23. There are no refunds for activities after online registration closes. All activities are open to Event Registrants only. On-line registrants will receive a hard card credential, lanyard, and event pin.
Agenda subject to change – please check back periodically
