Just wanted to make sure that we will be doing a plant tour on SSOA Thursday. I'll be doing the autocross on Friday during the regularly scheduled tour, and my girlfriend REALLY wants to see the plant.
Have we made special arrangements with the plant for a "group" tour on Thursday?

Here is Art's email. Looking forward to meeting you. ___________________________________________
We are pleased to advise that the SSOA has made special arrangements to further enhance your experience at the Camaro/Firebird Gathering, September 20-22, 2002 hosted by the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. http://www.corvettemuseum.com/registration/f-body/info.shtml
The NCM does such great job of organizing the event that one must choose which activities to participate in, and by extension which have to be missed. As many SSOA members are traveling a considerable distance, we felt it appropriate to add a day to the event to maximize the benefit from the trip.
The agenda/privileges for Thursday, September 19, will be as follows:
MORNING Breakfast: Informal. Car Detailing: Gotta get ‘em pretty for the event. NCM: Sign in for the show and tour the museum. (Opens at 8:00 AM) Lunch: Informal.
EARLY EVENING Group Scenic Cruise to Glasgow, KY and dinner at Boltons Landing. To accommodate the group size we will be working with a limited menu. http://mammothcave.com/boltons.htm
EVENING Group Scenic Cruise, or Interstate blast (depending on available time) back to Bowling Green and 3 hours of all-you-can ride at Raceworld. http://www.raceworld-bg.com/
LATE EVENING Informal – check out the crowd at the museum or get to bed early to prepare for Autocross in the AM.
CAPACITY Registration for SSOA Thursday is limited to 80 participants on a first come/first served basis. Register Early to guarantee your spot.
COST We will provide the Bolton’s Landing limited menu and meal costs to registrants. There will be a mandatory 20% gratuity applied because of the group size. Raceworld: $18.00 for all you can ride on both tracks. They will also be providing a “King of the Hill” trophy to our “Slick Track” champion.
ACCOMODATIONS Many of us our staying at the Best Western Continental Inn. The SSOA room block is currently full, however, several rooms have not been confirmed and may come available August 16th. http://www.bestwestern.com/prop_18016
REGISTRATON DEADLINE Registration is available exclusively to SSOA members until August 15th. STARTING AUGUST 16TH WE WILL ALLOW PARTICIPATING SSOA MEMBERS TO SPONSOR IN NON SS OWNING FRIENDS THAT ARE ATTENDING THE CAMARO/FIREBIRD GATHERING.
TO REGISTER Send e-mail to artschroeder@ssoa.net Please include your name, membership number and number of people (adults and children) in your car.
p.s. The Camaro/Firebird gathering in Bowling Green will be “THE” F-body event in 2002. The goal is to have 1,000 cars at the event to fulfill the Fbodfather’s (Scott Settlemire) dream. This is an event you do not want to miss.

Have we made special arrangements for an SSOA group tour yet?
According to the web site, "Public Tours are available Monday through Friday at 9 am and 1 PM CT. Reservations for groups of 10 or more are available by calling 270.745.8287."
Just want to make sure everything is in order and everything will go off without a hitch.
