Corvette Speed Events
I have a question about Corvette Club speed events.
Am I reading this correct that you have to do 10 events before you can a license to do speed events?
Geesh-----Even the SCCA is not that strict.

It depends on who you run with and what kind of running you are going to do.
Sounds like you are referring to NCCC high speed events, where stock Vettes get above 80mph. These events are usually on a road race track and the usual parking lot autox skills could probably get you in a lot of trouble. You generally qualify for an NCCC high speed license with 10 low speeds or a high speed driving school, unless you are in the East Ohio region or East region. In those regions you can only get a high speed license if you do a high speed driving school with a qualified organization. 10 low speed events will not get you a high speed license anymore in those regions (a good idea).
SCCA Solo 1 events require a license too, as well as a fire suit and roll bar and are usually on a road race track. SCCA Solo II does not require a special license, but these are all parking lot events.
