Default Any corvette owners in Buffalo, NY?

New member, seeing who's got a nice C6 in the Buffalo/WNY area to meet up. I'm new to the scene, just got my '05 Blue MN6 a few months ago and would love to meet up with other Corvette owners for cruises, meets, shows, or whatever.

I believe you should reach out to Corvettes of Buffalo and see what is happening.

corvettesofbuffalo.com

A little farther south is Chautauqua County Corvette Club too.

Go to the clutch artist website to find all the cruise nights and cars shows and start going to them. Lots of vettes go to Paultlers ice cream on Transit rd. Tuesday nights. Also Santoras pizza on Transit rd. on Thursday. Texas Roadhouse on Wednesday.

I'm in the area, I typically don't do the car show thing though. A meet up would be cool if it could be arranged.

Where can I find that clutch artist website? Looks like I'm gonna need to clean up the car and head out to some of these cruise nights soon! Thanks for the info.

Which Santora's? Depew or up in Williamsville? I'm a southowns guy, down in West Seneca, but I certainly make a trip!

Williamsville just north of Sheridan.

Clutchartist.com they have a flyer for $5 of all the cruise nights and car shows for the whole summer.

Keep and eye on the Canadian events forum. We just did a cruise last weekend from Toronto to Fort Erie and along the Niagara Parkway. Our fearless leader Stan (Zeeman28a) does a great job with these events. Just a hop over the bridge for you to join up.

Stan is planning another Niagara cruise for September of this year. We had a great time with 30 cars taking part.

I was just thinking about this as I'm getting ready to store my '06! I bought it this past August and put about 1500 miles, some of which were with my 5th gen Camaro buddies. I am also looking for some Corvette owners in WNY to cruise with and was thinking about joining one of the local clubs this Spring. Did you join any clubs or do any cruise nights?

I didn't get to joining any clubs, doing two-to-three hour cruises feathering the clutch at 15mph isn't my cup of tea haha. My impression of the clubs around here are being a little formal and more of doing shows and low-speed cruises through neighborhoods or along the river, etc. I would be interested in meeting up with other LS owners in parking lots wherever and taking rides around town or meeting at Lancaster track or something like that.

It's a sad time of year putting the car away. Actually, I recently had my first kid so it hasn't been out in over a month anyways!

I get the same impression with the local Corvette clubs too! I had a 5th Gen Camaro and our club was/is a blast! We would do "spirited" cruises in the country (Finger Lakes), hang out at Watkins Glen for races and get on the track, and go to big events, as well as get together for cruise nights (not cruising but small local get togethers in parking lots ). I also go to Lancaster Speedway on Wednesday nights when I can. I'm still active with them even though I sold the Camaro and now have a Vette! We're planning on going to Watkins Glen for opening weekend, which we do every year weather permitting, and get on the track behind a pace car. It's not full out speed but it's a spirited romp around the track for a few laps! Great time! You're welcome to join us if you like! Shoot me a PM if your interested!
