Thursday, October 13th kicks off the beginning of our final event for 2005 – the C3 Extravaganza! Open to all automotive enthusiasts, this exciting event offers guests in attendance a full three-days of non-stop activities that include road tours, lunch excursions, Dyno pulls, a NCM gimmick tour, seminars, drag racing, a cookout at the home of NCM Executive Director, Wendell Strode and wife Jan, drag racing, autocross, a people’s choice car show and a banquet and benefit auction and much more!

The event is co-hosted by the C3 Vette Registry, and starts on Thursday morning with a “driving” road tour to the Bourbon Heritage Center and lunch along the trip. A limited number of slots are available and pre-registration is required. A scenic road tour to view some of the country-side scenery is offered later in the afternoon.

Activities are in full swing on Friday, with the people’s choice car show, exciting seminars in the Chevrolet Theater, the C3 event group photo in the front circle, dyno pulls by Elitesparkplugs.com, gimmick tour and the “grilling” at the 1869 Homestead. Be sure to register to be a part of the cookout and enjoy a relaxing evening of good food and company in a beautiful country setting.

Saturday morning begins a rigorous day of excitement for everyone registered for autocross at Beech Bend Raceway! A mandatory drivers meeting is scheduled at 8:30 a.m. at Beech Bend and all participants must attend. Autocross fees are payable to the Museum with your preregistration fee. A road tour lunch excursion to Diamond Caverns and Park Mammoth are slated to start 9:30 a.m. and space is limited. Be sure to add this exciting adventure to your registration plans.

Drag racing at Beech Bend Raceway is also part of Saturday’s activities. Pre-registration is not required and payable on site at Beech Bend. You can be a part of the fun and drag race for a $15 fee or join in as a spectator and watch the exciting drag racing competition. A $5.00 spectators fee is payable at Beech Bend Raceway. More scenic tours of the countryside and dyno pulls are also part of the day’s activities, prior to the C3 Extravaganza Dinner and NCM Benefit Auction in the Museum’s Skydome. A cash bar will be available at 6:00 p.m. and dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. – you don’t want to miss this grand evening.

I missed this one last year because I wussed out. My top was not on my car (still not on my car) and did not want to freeze my butt off on the trip up.

I would like to make this one and see lots of the Corvette Forum folks come with me. We all need to meet and greet, throw a few back, and have a little fun.

cant make it.. got school.

We'll be there! Where is the "place" to stay?

Today's problem is..

"The place" to NOT stay at, is the Best Value Inn. It is not the best, it is not a value...it was however an Inn. Unless you like living with a crazy Indian family running around yelling at each other, then its solid gold. They also charge for using the towels....

Best Value Inn = Bad
Crazy Indian people Yelling = Bad
Towels = $20

Stay at the Baymont.

I went to the supposed C3 Extravaganza 2 years ago and got so pizzed off that I have not been back to the NCM since - used to go at least a couple of times a year. I arrived about 10 am after a 4 1/2 hour drive and had to park about 1/4 mile down the road behind the museum. The lot was full of C5's when I got up there. Some C3 Extravaganza that was . . . .

I'm sure some of you will remember the occasion - it was Labor Day weekend that year and the C3 was THE featured car.

Oh well . . . . .

Midnght,

In 2002 we had an event called the "Shark Fest" that was the same time as the Labor Day event. Our focus was the C3s with displays and specific seminars. This is not the C3 Extravaganza that we have in October. Please do not get the 2 confused as they are completly different. This will be the 2nd Annual C3 Extravaganza at the NCM.

The parking situation is always the same over Labor Day. Lifetime Members park upfront. This is one of the perks..We only can park 230-250 cars on black top, so some cars will have to park on grass..

We hope you can come...
