The Bel Air Corvette Club (BACC), Inc. was founded on January 10, 1974. The Club is comprised of individuals; both male and female, young and old, that have a common interest... THE CHEVROLET CORVETTE.

The BACC was formed to further the mutual enjoyment of the Corvette Sports Car. Through the BACC, technical and practical information for Corvette owners and enthusiasts are gained. Events are conducted for showing your Corvette and for demonstrating your driving skill, as well as the performance of your Corvette. Some examples of the BACC-related activities are:

  • Concours - A Corvette car show. Cars are judged for cleanliness and workmanship.

  • Autocross - A race against the clock through pylons on an established course.

  • Rallye - A run through a pre-charted course on regular roads by a team

  • Funkhana - A couple's fun-filled competition event. The organizer(s) of this event set up a safe, but crazy contents using various driving and personal skills.

  • Economy Run - A team challenge to obtain the best gas mileage on a course

  • Eat and Rides - A caravan of Corvettes through the countryside to a planned destination. Recent Eat and Rides have been to Willow Valley Inn (PA), Strasburg Inn, Manor Tavern and local restaurants for brunch (Golden Corral).

Functions

In addition to the car-related activities, the BACC provides the opportunity for social functions among the members and their families. Some examples of these activities are - dances, picnics, Lantern Queen Paddle Boat Cruise and Dinner, Fall Bonfire Party and Super Bowl Party and club trips to various locations such as Carlisle, PA, Corvette Weekend in Ocean City, and Stoudt's all Corvette show in Pennsylvania.

National Council of Corvette Clubs (NCCC)

The National Council of Corvette Clubs, Inc. was founded in 1959 as an all-volunteer, non-profit organization by a small group of Corvette owners and true, blue enthusiasts. The NCC's purpose is:

  • To promote interest in Corvette ownership and its safe operation
  • To publish information on the use and operation of the Corvette
  • To establish an organized effort to encourage others to participate in the enjoyment connected with the Corvette
