Corvette Museum Cruise
2024-08-27 | Ontario
As the saying on the museum site says, “All roads lead to Bowling Green Kentucky.”
Most Corvette owners are aware 2024 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky. Every 5 years the museum puts on a big event and the 30th is one of those special years.
In 2019 we had about 6 couples from the NCC head down to the museum for the 25th anniversary. For 2024 we have about 11 couples signed up to head down and attend the 30th. This will be a very entertaining event and seeing that many Corvettes together (they are expecting close to 10,000) is something you don’t forget.
Just like in 2019 we will again be joining up with the OHIO club and caravanning down together picking up other clubs along the way.
Plans are subject to change but at the moment some members we will leave Canada Monday Aug 26/24 and some on Tuesday Aug 27/24 and head down to OHIO to spend the night. The OHIO club is planning a banquet dinner for Tuesday night at our hotel. Wednesday morning, we will meet up at Serpentini Chevrolet for breakfast before starting the journey to Bowling Green. Thursday and Friday we will be attending all the events at the Museum with the main attraction getting to tour the museum itself. It’s amazing all the cars and memorabilia they have on display. Anything you could possibility want to know about the history of our favourite car is there.
Before heading back to Canada on Sunday some of the group will head over Saturday to drive Tail of the Dragon, a very well-known 11 mile road for sports cars and motorcycles. Tail of the Dragon (aka US129) is undergoing extensive repairs this spring and is getting repaved. The job is supposed to be done in 35 days once started but we all know how construction projects go. Luckily, they are starting early enough; it should be completed well before our arrival in August.
This big museum event only happens every 5 years. What better way to attend the museum than with 10,000 other Corvettes. There is still time to join in. If not, you will have to wait till 2029 for the next big event, which will be the 35th Anniversary.
