2013 XLR Bowling Green Plant Homecoming - Sept 28th, 2013

[Phrede]

There are a few Corvette clubs coming into town for the show along with all of you guys, the rooms went pretty fast.

WKU also has a home football game on Saturday. I expect a few non-block rooms went that way also.

Al I believe the plant tours are 8:30 & 9 am on the day of the car show Saturday! The car show is from 8am to 3pm awards at 2pm. I believe Friday morning there is a cruz drive may be planned and the afternoon tour of the NCM Museum. Sunday morning is a departure breakfast for those interested! All these event are of course voluntary to whom wants to attend! If anyone has the up to dated schedule please post as I'm not sure if this is fully correct!

Sunday Drive??

Bruce & I spoke last night about adding a drive to the schedule. Because Friday & Saturday are pretty much 'loaded', my thought was a Sunday morning drive after breakfast. I've mapped out about a 2 hour drive, which will go through Mammoth Cave National Park. If there is enough interest we will add this. If the 2 hours seems like too much, I can also shorten it.

Please post your interest in this. I hope to be down to Bowling Green early enough on Thursday to run the route and get actual traveling time--Google always goes by the speed limits--I don't!!

Jump yourselves in that Seneca plane and fly down! You may not have your 'ROCKET" there with you but at least you be among all your XLR buds

Hey this is just a thought. Someone should either hire a video guy for the weekend event. or make a video and sell it for a reasonable price for this historic event. This way the people that can't make it can buy a copy?

I'd be interested, depending on the video cost, of course...

Sounds good to me. I was actually wondering about an alternate route(s) home instead of just boring interstates as it is nearly 11 hours for me and would like to split the return trip into two days. I plan on going down thru the Blue Ridge and hope to include the tail of the dragon on the way to BG.

The dash plaques arrived yesterday...they look GREAT! Bob & Gayle Walker were kind enough to pay for the XLR event dash plaques. I hope you all like them.

 

[XLRATING]

I am SO looking forward to this - work life/real life have been quite the challenge lately compared to "XLR life." It will be a nice break to see old friends & meet some new ones!

Thanks to everyone who has worked to put together events, meals, shirts, hats, dash plaques, & everything else while I've just been sitting on the sidelines taking advantage of all of it. We owe you a big debt of gratitude for making this event happen and be a truly special one.

BGACC car show dash plaque

I had a dash plaque made for the car show on Saturday. They are a gift from the XLR group to the BGACC for being such great hosts.

Friday, Sept. 27, since we plan on leaving for the drive & dinner after our museum tour, bring anything you might need (like a jacket) with you to the Corvette Museum. Also make sure you have a full tank of gas.

I'm very excited about the plant tours on Friday morning, Sept. 27. You guys will be the first tours to see the new C7s being built!!! The plant has been remodeled for the new car. This will be all new for the tour guides as well as the plant workers. Many of the workers on the line are new hires & have never had tours come through while they are building cars. I hope you enjoy your tour!

I'm in. But will probably be leaving the group once you turn around south.
