You may know the Coker Group for an impressive lineup of brands that includes Coker, Zip Products, and Corvette Central. What you might not know is that the Coker Group has a rich history of hosting epic automotive events, including The Great Race, a renowned time, speed, and endurance rally for vintage vehicles. This year, Coker is partnering with Corvettes at Carlisle to kick off The Ultimate Corvette Tour.
From August 22nd through August 29th, Corvette owners have the chance to trade their garages for the open highway during a seven-day celebration of America’s favorite sports car. The high-end road trip caters to enthusiasts who value time behind the wheel, featuring hundreds of miles of exciting blacktop and multiple VIP experiences at private car collections, historic museums, and more. The adventure begins at Corvette Central’s headquarters in Sawyer, Michigan, and crosses the country to Corvettes at Carlisle, where participants will enjoy special parking and a full weekend of fun activities.

While The Great Race is considered a competitive event, The Ultimate Corvette Tour will be more relaxed, with plenty of great roads, preplanned VIP experiences, and camaraderie. The official route winds through Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio before crossing the Pennsylvania border to join the largest Corvette gathering in the world.
The cost to join The Ultimate Corvette Tour is $7,999. That sum gets participants one hotel room in each city, meals for two, VIP access to private collections, behind-the-scenes museum experiences, and other cool experiences throughout the tour. The registration fee also covers entry into Corvettes at Carlisle and a hotel that’s only half a mile from the show’s Fun Field.
We’re excited to welcome the Coker Group and their Ultimate Corvette Road Tour to Corvettes at Carlisle this summer,” noted Carlisle Events co-owner Lance Miller. “For our flagship car show, Corvettes at Carlisle, to be selected by them as the destination for this epic journey is a real honor. ”

Corvette ownership has always been about more than horsepower and lap times. It’s about the people you meet, the roads you travel, and the memories you create along the way. The Ultimate Corvette Tour embraces that philosophy by combining scenic drives and exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences with an unforgettable destination: Corvettes at Carlisle. For Corvette enthusiasts looking to share an awesome adventure, this seven-day journey promises to be one of the highlights of the 2026 driving season.
