Thanks for visiting the home page for the 2014 PA & NY Corvette Caravan. While this page may be listed solely as "Pennsylvania & New York" we are truly MUCH more than that. A better name might be the North East Regional Caravan, since that is easier to say than New Jersey Pennslvania New York,Delaware, New England Caravan!! It doesn't matter where you call home, if you wish to drive with the PA/ NY crew and join us on a great adventure all you have to do is sign up! After all "All Roads Lead To Bowling Green"! We plan to have drivers join us from all the neighboring states to include, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, New York Islands, Nova Scotia, and parts of New England. This is due in a big part because of our route map; our first planned stop is at the 2014 Corvettes at Carlisle Weekend in Carlisle, PA. So if your plans for 2014 include Corvettes at Carlisle, you might want to consider traveling with the PA / New York group.

Registration is NOW OPEN, remember to choose PA!

 Captains Ernie & Marie Naugle have returned to lead the group on the journey, just as we did in 2009. Plus we were a part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration Caravan in 2003, so we love what the Caravan is all about. So keep an eye out for Ernie & Marie in their Quick Silver 2009 Z51 (QSILVER).

Some of the highlights of the PA & New York Caravan are as follows:

  • Corvettes at Carlisle Show (we will have reduced or free admission fee for Sunday afternoon).
  • We will travel at a relaxed pace, with no marathon times behind the wheel.
  • We will driving our Corvettes on a race track as a part of our journey.
  • We will have two beautiful nights at a River Boat Casino & Spa Hotel.
  • PA & NY will arrive in Bowling Green a day ahead of most other Caravans; given you better access to the NCM exhibits.
  • Lots of fun events along the way and once we arrive in Bowling Green.
  • We have secured hotels at every stop along our route for our group.

Our travel plans include departing on the morning of Sunday August 24th from various staging points across the region. Our first stop will be Corvettes at Carlisle, where we have reserved parking and enjoy some lunch and our first major driver's meeting at the Corvette Club of America / Found Caravan Club tent. From Carlisle, PA it's off to Clarksburg, West Va, a short 160-mile trip, and our first overnight. Monday morning we will drive to the Belterra Casino in Florence, Indiana. Two nights at the Belterra Casino & Spa that will include a Dinner & Dancing Reception. Tuesday morning, off to the Speedway - Kentucky Speedway that is! We have rented out the Kentucky Speedway for the private use by the Caravan. We will do laps in our Corvettes around the Speedway, lunch will be served and other fun stuff is in the works for this fun filled day. Tuesday night will be a night to relax and enjoy each others company at a Dinner & Dancing Reception followed by some Casino play

Then on Wednesday morning we will head onto our final destination of Bowling Green, Kentucky and the National Corvette Museum. We are working on coordinating with other Regional Caravans to drive into Bowling Green with a State Police Escort, so our numbers will be even greater.

Traveling back home will begin as early as Saturday afternoon and as late as Sunday afternoon. Local Leaders will lead some back at a fast pace, driving the 12+ hours all on Sunday, while other Local Leaders will make trip over two days, arriving home on Labor Day, Monday September 1st. So it's up to you how quickly you wish to return home, but you will never be left all alone.

Please be sure to take a look at the merchandise that is available from the Caravan, and most of it can be customized with your home State. So if you are from you can order a shirt that says Pennsylvania Caravan, or New England, or Nova Scotia, or Long Island, well you get the point. Check out the New Jersey Merchandise Catalog.

Please stay tuned for additional information as it develops.

As always, your friends,

Ernie & Marie Naugle
Pennsylvania Captains
