Corvette Blog

As I have written many times previously, one of the great parts of visiting the great Corvette venues in America is meeting the Corvette drivers themselves.  At Corvettes at Carlisle last summer, I had an opportunity to speak with a number of folks representing some of the Corvette clubs represented there.  This list represents those I met.

Today's blog is a milestone.  This is the 500th time we've written a post.

CorvetteBlog began a little over a year and a half ago, and now boasts of having had over 50,000 visitors over the most recent twelve months!  And we feel like we're just revving up!

We appreciate your taking the time to check in with us (many of you daily) to read the latest information about exciting activities in the world of Corvette.  We try to highlight key gatherings of Corvettes, vendors who provide goods and services for Corvettes, information on historic Corvettes, the Corvette Racing Team, factory incentives, and the latest news on ordering a new Vette.

We will continue to go to the big shows like Bloomington Gold, Corvettes at Carlisle, and the Corvette Funfest.  We will make an annual trek to Bowling Green, Kentucky to see our friends at the National Corvette Museum or at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant.

What's next?  We do want to provide a better resource for Corvette clubs, so we are reorganizing the look of our front page to make the Corvette Club portion stand out better.  And, by the way, if you click your country or region, and don't find a link to your club, we want to improve on that, too.  With hundreds of clubs in operation, it will take a while to get everyone linked, but if you'd like attention sooner, write us.  We will put you toward the head of the list (the "squeaky wheel" concept)!

By the way, please tell your Corvette driving friends about us.  And here's to the next 500 blogs!

One of the Corvette clubs that I was privileged to meet at Corvettes at Carlisle last week was Corvettes Unlimited of New Jersey.

CUNJ is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, as they were founded in 1977.  This very active Corvette club, located in Vineland, is led with passionate devotion by Dave Kinsey.  I noticed that you can call him Dave, but he prefers "Mr. President"!  Mr. President is shown by one of his prize Corvettes, with a canopy full of faithful club members in the background.

The club regularly attends big shows like Corvettes at Carlisle, but also sponsor their own events like their "Cruise Down Memory Lane" event held this past June (their 16th year).  If you are from New Jersey, you likely cannot find a more dedicated group of Corvette enthusiasts with whom to cruise.

In the area of Johnston, PA this weekend?!  You're in luck!  The fifth annual Flood City Corvette Club Cruise-In is on for Sunday, August 19th from 10am-4pm at Jennerstown Speedway.  From what we understand, the event has become so popular they've moved venues, and what an appropriate upgrade! 

Hundreds of Corvettes and classic, antique and muscle cars are expected to cover the track, infield and pit areas of the speedway.  This is a family-friendly event for everyone!  Admission is $3 a person, but children ages 12 and younger will be admitted free, with most of the proceeds going to local charities.

If you're looking for information about registration and showing your Classic Corvette, continue reading by clicking the link below.  On a related note, if you're into NASCAR, Jennerstown officials have arranged to have a NASCAR simulator on site.  What a ride... well, even if not in a Corvette.

Five hundred Corvettes are expected at Blob's Park, Maryland in two weeks for an event sponsored by the Baltimore County Corvette Club, known as B-Triple-C to its members.

The Ultimate Corvette Meet & Greet and Car Show promises, fun, food, vendors, trophies, and a live deejay for those in that part of the country.

Have a great show, folks!

Corvette enthusiasts are united in their adoration of America's Sports Car.  Corvette enthusiasts are divided, as is everyone else in the world, by geographical location.

No group in the world has done a better job in giving Corvette enthusiast bodies organization than the National Council of Corvette Clubs.  This group lists some fifteen regions of Corvette clubs in the United States, and provides links to pretty much every country in the world that has organized their Corvette enterprise.

Effective this date, Corvette Blog officially salutes this fine organization, the regional U.S groupings, and the Corvette clubs around the world.  We will attempt to provide links to every group as time allows.

If you represent a club anywhere in the world, and wish to be one of the first to appear on Corvette Blog, please contact us.
