I imagine we'll roll out of Indy on Sunday at some point mid-morning. Breakfast at the hotel, some last good-byes and then the journey home.

Who's planning on stopping in Bowling Green, KY?

We are for sure! I would really enjoy seeing the corvette museum and some friends told me the drive through that area is nice!

Keep me in the loop & I can assist with planning. We will likely have groups passing through Nashville, Bowling Green & Louisville on both Wed & Th & probably will have some of our club members meeting groups on each day. Just let me know how we can help out.

Just found this information! Is this still true, or is the plant opened back up for tours??

The National Corvette Museum recently posted the following notice on their facebook page about the tour schedule at the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green:

All GM Corvette Plant tours will cease on September 14, 2012. The date for tours to resume has yet to be determined. Of course, you can always come visit us at the Museum! We are open daily, 8am-5pm.

We’re assuming that the suspension of tours is due to the retooling that will be going on inside the Bowling Green Assembly Plant as General Motors transitions from building the C6 Corvette to the next generation 2014 C7 Corvette.

In 2011, General Motors North American President Mark Reuss announced the automaker was investing $131 million in the plant for upgrading tooling and machinery. The investment is expected to create as many as 250 new jobs.

Now is the time to hit the plant if you want to see the how America’s finest autoworkers build the C6 Corvette. We’re planning on touring the facility the week of the NCM Bash.

OK, so I'm from Arkansas-- y'all are planning on meeting up with us in Memphis, right? Would that be on Wednesday or Thursday? I know I plan on driving in to Fest on Wednesday

I have a room booked in Indy Wednesday night so I could technically leave Tuesday if I wanted, I just need to know when y'all wanna meet up in Memphis.
