July 19-21. XLR owners are still "invited" & at least listed in the parade. Here's the link: National Corvette Homecoming! - July 19-21, 2012 - Bowling Green, Kentucky - NCH Show & Event

We were thinking of going.

I booked a room for the night of the 20th. I heard some of the companies install exhaust systems at the show. I thought I may have that done.

That's a great way to get free install - but make sure you contact the vendors BEFORE the show - they usually do not bring XLR exhausts - just corvette's. Just a suggestion.

Looks like I will still be on my church youth event in New Orleans that weekend... bummer.

Might be fun, I have not gone since 1996 ish, We boat and camp a lot in the summer, so not sure. I would love the be able to maybe hear all the various exhaust brands on XLR's. I could stand more growl under power but still want quiet at cruising speed so I will have to hear the perfect combination before turning loose of the money.

I didn't know our trip went until then. Obviously I need to know my dates better, haha.
