Other favorite road tours will take you to Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center, the Coca Cola Museum, Barren River and the General Jackson Cruise.
Seminars on preparing and detailing your Corvette, the NCM Motorsports Park, insuring special and collector cars, an introduction of new GM Bowling Green Assembly Plant Manager Bob Parcell and a walk around of the 2011 Corvette will keep you informed.  Gordon Killebrew will be on hand with his 'Drive Through Troubleshooting' while other on-site activities include a Scavenger Hunt, Peoples Choice Car Show, Silent and Live Auctions, and Golf Cart Autocross.
A free scenic guided road tour, gimmick rally, poker run and autocross round out this event. The event is scheduled for May 27 - 29, 2010 and registration is LIVE on our website!
