It was a beautiful morning in Cary NC as RTP members started pulling onto Academy Street at 7:30am. It seemed to fill up fast with all the classic cars and trucks lining up the road for display. With the help of over 50 members, all the vehicles seemed to be judged in record time. Among […]
MY 57’VET
2016 was spectacular. I drove My 57 Corvette to Galveston for a National Show in October. Covered 3600 miles in 11 days and 14 states. Excitement, you bet, generator tried to fall off, gumbo soup in a Louisiana motel parking lot, 90 MPH across Texas, broken seat springs and a few more issues on a […]
OMEGA
It took me a year and three different dealers to finally get an order for my ZR1 accepted into GM’s production schedule. But it was well worth the wait and I was thrilled when it finally was delivered in December 2018. I name all my cars and this one is appropriately called “Omega”, as in […]

Ocean City Weekend
This is truly one of the most unique events! It’s about a 5 1/2 to 6 hour drive to Ocean City, Maryland (without stops). While some of the travel time was on the interstate, much of it was back road (US Highway’s) through the countryside of Virginia and Maryland. You pass tobacco, cotton and corn […]
Roadhouse – Dinner & Dancing
What a night! 40 club members met at the Pittsboro Roadhouse for dinner and dancing. What a fun event for a hot summer’s night! The Roadhouse is in a building that used to be a car dealership – so it was all car themed – including the old, large garage doors in the old service […]
NCM Birthday Bash
Several club members joined Frank and Laura Sancineto on a club trip to the National Corvette Museum in April. But they got off to a very rough start. First it started pouring rain when they left Raleigh and then they were stranded for 3 1/2 to 4 hours on I-40 just short of Tennessee behind […]
My Love Affair with the Corvette
From the thoughts of Henry Parker, I have been a Corvette enthusiast for quite a few years. Got my first ride in a corvette when I was sixteen with one of my co-workers. I remember thinking how very fast it was. Later I worked at a pizza restaurant and my boss always kept a corvette. […]

There are those about people and animals; Timmy and Lassie, Roy and Trigger, Gene and Champion, Wilbur […]
