our chapter
The Carolinas Chapter, formed in 1996, is part of the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) and is dedicated to the restoration, preservation, and enjoyment of Corvettes 1953 - 2007. The Carolinas Chapter brings a part of the National NCRS to the local area where you can become involved in activities within the Carolinas.
We invite you to join us at one of our road tours, technical sessions, judging schools, or judging events. Check out our Events page for all future events! Our focus is primarily Corvettes, but good cars bring good friends together. Won't you come and join us?
We cover the Carolinas with members from the coast to the mountains.
The Carolinas Chapter is proud to be a Top Flight® Chapter.
Chairman's notes
ED HARBOR - CHAPTER CHAIR
JANUARY/FEBURARY 2025
FROM THE CHAPTER CHAIR
As I write this, I am watching my granddaughters enjoy their Christmas gifts throughout our house. It does look like a mini-tornado went through the inside, but that is all part of the fun of the holidays. I hope each of you is enjoying the holidays with your family and friends. I thank Janet and Harold Kennedy for hosting our Christmas party at their home in Gray Court, SC. It was well attended with 24 people present and a great collection for our Toys-for-Tots annual donation. Thank you to Casey Clark for being Santa’s helper and using his truck to deliver the bounty of toys. In support of Hurricane Helene relief efforts for the NC and TN mountains and the SC upstate region, our Carolinas Chapter donated $3000 dollars each to Samaritan's Purse International Relief Fund and The American Red Cross. We are off to a great start for 2025, with these early upcoming events: ▪Florida 46th Winter Regional, January 15 – 18, at the AMCM in Melbourne, FL. ▪CCNCRS make-up fall judging, March 1, at the Monte Carlo Garages in Indian Land, SC. ▪Our own Carolinas Regional, April 3 -5, at Clemson University’s T. Ed Garrison Center. Please consider registering for these events to see some great cars and meet other CCNCRS members and friends. We have had great turnouts of chapter members attending the Florida Regional, and I expect 2025 to be no different. I know Kurt Turner, Steven Heck , Roman Jaskin and Bob Kinstrey plan to attend. As I prepare to take the reins as chairman of the CCNCRS Chapter from Bob Kinstrey, I give Bob a huge thank you on behalf of all of our members for his leadership, dedication, and personal time given to the chapter as chairman since 2016. Under his leadership, the chapter has hosted two highly successful Carolinas Regionals and one very successful National Convention, all while keeping the chapter fiscally sound with contributing money annually to our key charities. Thankfully, Bob will continue on the board as the immediate past chair to offer advice. I am looking forward to a fantastic 2025 for the CCNCRS Chapter, and I hope everyone has great New Year!
Our Corvettes like to be driven; get out there and take them for a ride;
SAVE THE WAVE.
