NCCC Competitive Events

NCCC sanctions hundreds of events each year that are hosted by other member clubs. Participants in these events, which usually consist of concours, rallye’s or autocross activities, earn points toward NCCC annual championship trophies. Corvette Annapolis generally sponsors five NCCC events and they include a spring car show, a spring rallye, a summer Rallye, a fall car show, and a fall Rallye.

Here is a brief description of the different NCCC events:

Concours Shows: From the term “concours d’elegance” literally a gathering of elegance. A concours is a show competition in which Corvette’s are judged for cleanliness and/or authenticity. Classes by year include pure stock (concours), modified, street show, wash & show, race prepared, custom, and exhibition. NCCC points are awarded for entry, as well as, place.

Fun Shows: A fun show is where Corvette owners can enter their car for show. Classes are by year only and the judging is done by fellow exhibitors. NCCC points are awarded for entry only.

Rallye’s: There are two types of Rallye’s: Gimmick and Poker

Gimmick: Events in which a team of a driver and navigator follow a list of clues and instructions to get from a starting point to a  finishing point. Unlike “time/speed/distance” rallye’s, these are more of the “seat of the pants” variety, relying on trick clues, questions, and other gimmicks to challenge participants. NCCC points are awarded for entry, as well as, place.

Poker Run: A fun event in which a team of a driver and navigator follow instructions to get from a starting point to a finishing point. Along the way there will be card stops where the team chooses a playing card. The team with the highest poker hand wins. NCCC points are awarded for entry, as well as, place.

Autocross: Timed competition on a closed course designed to test the skill and reflexes of the driver as well as the Corvette’s acceleration, braking and handling. Autocross courses are set up with traffic pylons through which contestants must negotiate. With only one on a course at a time, the objective is to complete the course in minimum time and with no penalties. Classes are based on engine compression, horsepower and/or modification. NCCC points are awarded for entry as well as place.

More information is available in your NCCC rulebook.
