Judging Corvettes is fun, but the friendships that are built and rekindled at a NCRS Judging meet is why many of us come back year after year.  This year at LAST BLAST 2023 we have several opportunities for friends to socialize with each other away from the rush of the judging field.  

I know we all have been to judging meets where you  get up at 3am to be at a judging meet by 7am, hammer thru judging 3,4 or 5 sections and then drive all night just to get back home.   That's not fun, that is just work.

The beauty of a two day chapter judging meet is to put the "fun" back into a chapter event.    

Our Friday night social hour and dinner is a fun break from judging where we can kick back and catch up with friends from around the Midwest while enjoying a meal with each other in a casual and relaxed setting.

NCRS Concours judging is a new and exciting Concours judging program.  In Concours we give Corvette owners the opportunity to use their creative abilities to make the Corvette of their dreams become reality in NCRS Judging.  All modifications are allowed and encouraged including color changes, engine upgrades or interior swaps.  If you have a Corvette that has been modified to suit your lifestyle, Concours is for you!

The location of NCRS Nebraska LAST BLAST 2023 is on the Lincoln Airport in a private airplane hangar.  Due to the location being quite a bit of a drive to any restaurants other than McDonalds or a gas station, the Nebraska chapter has arranged to have all meals at the judging meet right on the judging floor.  This makes it easier for our guests to be able to have all meals and drinks right at the event instead of having to drive into town to find a restaurant.  To offset the costs of the meals, we have a "meal package" available for you to purchase which includes Friday lunch, Friday night catered banquet, Saturday morning coffee & rolls and world famous Valentino's pizza for Saturday lunch.  Your hotel will provide you breakfast as part of your room reservation.  The cost of the meal package is $50 per person and you will need to register for that as one of your optional purchases when you register thru the NCRS system.  If you do not want to eat meals with us, you will need to drive into Lincoln.  The closest is McDonalds at the 399 exit, the next is the usual fast food BK, MCD, KFC 5 miles east on Cornhusker highway into Lincoln.

One of the great things about having a two day judging meet is that we have more time for teaching and learning.  When judging just on Saturday morning from 9-12, it is a rush to get everything done and there is no time to spend working with junior judges.  At Nebraska Last Blast 2023, we will judge cars over two days which gives us more time to have senior judges work with junior judges, explaining how the process works.  This gives people more understanding and confidence to want to participate more at the next event!
