Corvette Troy is one of the oldest Corvette clubs in existence (and maybe the oldest). I know quite a few people from it.

Keep in mind that most local Corvette clubs look at the internet-car-enthusiast community as a threat to their existence. So, any local club members that frequent Corvette Forum probably keep a low profile while visiting here.

That's a shame......

The reason I was asking is that their web site says they have an x-cross coming up that is open to the public. I have never done anything like this and may give it a shot. I was sort of wanting to talk with someone from the Troy Club about their club, as since I am so close, and they are so respected in the world of C.V. clubs, I might just join.

It would seem to me, that clubs such as Troy should use the WWW to HELP the club, rather then looking at the www as the enemy.

with some of the younger membership these days - things are slowly turning around. CT has really opened up the past 5 years or so.

are you considering this event?

I always participate in one of therir competition events ... where they rent out the dragstrip at KilKare.
I generally attend all their autocross events held there as well; though I only spectate at those.

Yes the Oct 17th one. I am just gonna show up. I don't have a clue what to expect. All I know about x-cross is ya drive as fast as ya can around some cones, and your tires go up in smoke.

It sounds like you don't do the x-cross but go and watch?

I am curious why you don't participate?
