Carolinas Chapter of the NcrS

Home of the 2019 NCRS National Convention

 
 

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 - 2002. 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 future all 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.

National Convention is over... we're next!

The National Convention is over! Tom Barr and his team did a great job. I had the opportunity to volunteer on Sunday, helping with the unloading of cars and checking gas tank levels. It was good that Sunday was one of the cooler days—temperature was only 105o F. And half the cars arrived after 4 PM. There were five semis, something we really do need to plan for next year as I suspect we may have even more.

Midway Point of 2019

The year is half over. The 2019 National Convention, which we will host, is now only 12 months away. Planning has already begun. Based on the turnout for the regional, we are anticipating 120 to 140 cars for the National. This means we will need lots of volunteers. The heavy volunteer requirements will be Sunday and Monday so please mark your calendar, plan your vacation, and sign up to help. We will need volunteers to lead or help with the day trips as bus coordinators. We also need someone to help organize all the volunteers. If you would like to help in any capacity, please contact me.

Regional a Success!

Ahh! Time for a breather. The Greenville Regional was a tremendous success. We have gotten accolades from many attendees and from the national officers. I would like to thank all the volunteers who help make it successful, with special thanks the Jane and Duane Ravenberg for organizing the volunteers and for Chip Drennan for managing the trailer lot. I also thank Janet Kennedy, my co-chair, Fred Jenkins, Reba Whittington, Peter Stout, and Louis Kolb for their leadership rolls.
