New Sebring Tour Offered
March 12 – 17, 2012
Museum in Motion Tours bring Corvette enthusiasts together to enjoy driving their Corvettes and visiting new, unique, interesting and exciting venues. The Museum event season kicks off with a tour originating in the Florida Panhandle and ending with two days at the 12 Hours of Sebring kickoff ALMS race.
Tour participants will visit places such as the Naval Coastal Base with its Deep Dive and Experimental Diving facilities, State Parks, the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing and St Armand’s Circle in Sarasota before settling in for two days of immersion in Corvette Racing at Sebring as part of the Corvette Corral.
The member tour fee, inclusive of hotels, admissions, Corvette Corral and some meals is $1985 for one vehicle/two people (non-member fee is $2065 and includes memberships). Registration is now open and will close February 17, 2012 but these tours sell out quickly so don’t wait too long. Learn more online here.

This amazing and large continent covers thousands of miles & extends from the equatorial tropics to the sub-Antarctic. It is in a way that can't really be matched by Alaska for a couple of reasons.

2014 Caravan
Having been involved in the organizing and funding of two caravans, I know all the hard work is done by the caravan captains and their local teams. My job will be to help make that task as trouble free as possible and keep everyone informed, on a timely basis, of the caravan status. In addition, the NCM will be streamlining the registration process and further reducing the workload of the captains. I solicit all participants to join in and help support your captain. It is a huge task to raise funds, book venues, publish route books, time daily routes, etc. Please volunteer and become part of the caravan process. You won't be sorry.
This caravan will mark the twentieth anniversary of the opening of the museum and the silver anniversary of its conception. We have the opportunity to make it the largest and best caravan ever. All we need is an abundance of new ideas and a ton of hard work.
You can contact me at vettltd@hotmail.com. I promise to get back to you within a 24 hour period. One exception, I will be out of the country from June 8 until June 27. If I can reach a computer, I'll get back to you during this time.
