Default Welcome to NC!

Welcome (in advance) to NC!

The Wake Forest (Raleigh) area has a couple of clubs who are very active in the area.

Here are links to their websites:

http://www.corvettesinternational.com/html/main.htm

http://www.rtpcorvettes.com/

Both clubs have a show or two coming up in the next couple months. Corvettes International has a show in Raleigh at the end of September which is going to be held at the new convention center downtown. RTP Corvettes just had their show, but will have a big event at the Biltmore house in Asheville, NC in early November.

There are a bunch of other links and calendar items you can check out as well.

Again, welcome to NC. I've been here 35 years and would not live anywhere else.

Food Lion's AutoFair is Sept 4-7 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. It is well worth the trip down to see.

I checked the Corvettes International website and did not find anything except a notice on their calender.
Is there a flyer somewhere on this show?
Is it sponsored by Corvettes International?
Is it an all Corvette show?

I would like to post this event on our club's website, but need more information.

Thanks,

This is not strictly Corvettes but it is pretty cool. "The Rock" is probably a couple of hours from Wake Forest down US#1.

It turns out this show is in partnership with Ray Price Harley-Davidson here in Raleigh. Check his website at www.rayprice.com. The show appears to be for anniversary or classic Corvettes, but you may want to check that out. I wonder if they consider 45 to be an anniversary? Nah, probably not! In spite of that, the whole event looks like a lot of fun. Come on up and see our new convention center. We need to get our money's worth out of this thing. It sure cost enough!

Here, let's cut to the chase: http://capitalcitybikefest.com/pdf/corvetteowners.pdf
