SUMMARY:Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The June 3rd meeting will feature a guest speaker Juan McLean\, from Seniors on the Move.\nA new bylaw concerning the inclusion of Alternate Members at Club events will be presented and voted on.\nPlease review the By-Law amendment below regarding the proposal to create a new class of membership within the Niagara Corvette Club to allow Alternate Members to be designated as substitutes for a Primary Member or their Affiliate Member on a non-subsidized club event. Click here to review the proposed bylaw (PDF). \nClub meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of each month (unless otherwise specified) at 7:30 pm at the Niagara College Welland Campus. The Campus is located at 100 Niagara College Boulevard and is accessible from Woodlawn Road\, First Avenue\, and Rice Road. Enter by the Main Entrance\, the Campus Entrance (follow the North Road)\, the West Entrance\, or the Chippawayan Blvd Entrance\, only westbound from Woodlawn Road. Easy access is from Hwy 406 from the north or south across Woodlawn Road\, or from Niagara Street or South Pelham Road\, south of Regional Road 20. \nMeetings will be held in Lecture Room S135\, adjacent to the Cafeteria and the Commons Entrance (please refer to the maps and photos included below). This also includes free parking after 5 pm in Lot C2 and C3\, which is safeguarded by Security Personnel and cameras. For reference\, these lots are to the Northeast of Lot D\, where the Niagara College Car Show was held last year. \nThe parking lot C3 is just a short walk to the Commons Entrance that leads into the Food Court/Cafeteria\, and there is a circular driveway/drop off area on the North Road beside the doors\, as shown below: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nAs in the photo below\, the Commons Entrance leads into a large seating area right next to the Food Court\, which features Tim Hortons\, Subway\, Pizza Pizza and others. Hours may vary and be shortened in the summer months. \nWe recommend that you arrive at the Campus and park in Lot C3 at 6 pm or thereafter\, as that will allow you plenty of time to get a coffee\, or a drink\, or a snack in the Food Court\, and then sit down and socialize with other Club Members in the generous seating area of the Cafeteria. \n \nFor those members looking for a more formal place to eat before arriving at Niagara College\, we suggest trying Boston Pizza or M.T. Bellies on Niagara Street near Quaker Road\, or Chuck’s Roadhouse Bar & Grill at 647 Niagara Street\, just south of Woodlawn Road. \nAs in the photo above\, the short hallway directly beside the Wellness Lounge (this is just a few steps from the Commons Entrance\, across from the computer screen shown below) leads down to Lecture Room S135\, with washrooms located at the opposite end of the hall. \nDirectly inside the first door of Room S135 will be our usual layout of name badges\, club information\, and tickets. The room itself has tremendous acoustics\, and also features a multimedia display screen and audio system.  There is a generous amount of seating in an ampitheatre format. The room is reserved for our use\, and requires no set up or teardown. Food and drinks are permitted; we just ask that you clean up any items that you bring in. \nThe meeting will start at 7:30 pm\, so please make your way from the Food Court before that time. \n \n

SUMMARY:Grand Bend Track Day: Exclusive Track Rental for NCC Members at Grand Bend Motorplex
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday June 10th\, 2025 – 2 to 5 pm raceway rental \nWe have another great opportunity this year to take your Corvette out on the technical track (road course) in a controlled environment with your fellow Club members. \nThe track is fully staffed with a Marshall and corner workers\, and we limit the number of cars at a time to approximately 6 Corvettes. Our target group size for this event is 12 cars\, although we could allow for 14 in total. This sets the cost per car at just over $100.00 for the event\, which is a great value for a private track rental that provides everyone with a tremendous amount of track time. \nEach group of cars typically stays out on the track for 15 to 20 minutes at a time\, after which you will want to pull back into the pits and cool yourself and the car down. Entry is controlled by the Marshall\, but you can exit at any time. Passing and corner rules are to be strictly followed\, and drivers are allowed to proceed around the course at their own comfort level. Passengers are allowed in the vehicle on the track (no extra cost for passengers and spectators)\, although helmets are required for all participants. \nThere is enough track time available that we may allocate a session for those who really want to test the limits of their Corvette. \n \nOur group would meet at Prudhommes Landing around 9 am for the 2-1/2 hour drive to Grand Bend. Same as last year\, a large group from the Corvette Club of Ontario is on the track before us\, so arriving early provides a great opportunity to watch them in action on the track and socialize with a lot of Corvette enthusiasts. \nClub members who would like to join in the drive to Grand Bend and watch the track event\, without taking their Corvette on the track\, are welcome to do so without any cost. Please email me separately at events@niagaracorvetteclub.com to indicate your interest in just the drive and being a spectator. \nPlease use the RSVP link to sign up for this event. Just enter 1 Guest for yourself\, as we don’t need to know how many passengers/spectators are attending. Once the total number of attendees is confirmed\, payment and event details will be provided. \nAny Club members who are planning on attending the Windsor Corvette Show on June 8 may choose to stay over and drive directly to Grand Bend on June 10. Please let me know if you are doing this\, so we can plan our group size from Prudhommes Landing. \nPlease contact Craig Gemmel at events@niagaracorvetteclub.com with any questions.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Ron Fellows Driving Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Ron Fellows driving experience is now open to non NCC members. If you have any family or friends that would like to attend this event please have them contact Kipp Battiston at battistonkipp@hotmail.com. \n\nWe will once again be doing the Ron Fellows Driving Experience for 2025. We have secured Monday\, June 23\, 2025. \nFor those that have attended before\, you know what a great time this is. For those that haven’t been or heard of this event\, here is a quick breakdown. \nThis is a 1-day event held at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville. You will have the opportunity to drive the Corvette C8\, Camaro ZL1 and Cadillac Blackwing CT5V and CT4V. When the driving portion is done\, if you feel up to it you can do a hot-lap ride with the pro drivers. The day is then ended with a very nice catered dinner and open bar. If you are going as a spouse only and not a driver\, obviously you don’t get to drive the cars\, but you still spend the day trackside\, can still do the hot lap with the pro driver\, and of course get the dinner. \nWe were once again able to secure the GM discount through Brian Cullen Motors\, so we are getting a deal. Unlike everything else that has gone up\, we have the same rate as 2024. The cost this year is $1332.96 (including the tax) for a driver and $226 (again including the tax) for a spouse/friend to attend. \nAs in previous years\, we have 18 spots available. This will be a first come\, first served basis. \nPlease use this RSVP link on the Niagara Corvette Club website to enter your name and email address\, and whether you are attending by yourself (1 Guest) or with a Spouse/Partner (2 Guests). \nLike last year the track is requiring that we put down a 50% deposit to hold our date (just for driver’s fees\, not the guests). I will either be collecting half from you ($666.48) when you sign up and the other half closer to the date\, or you can pay the full amount now if you prefer to just do it in one step. \nOnce your registration is confirmed\, you will be contacted and asked to send an eTransfer payment to battistonkipp@hotmail.com. \nIf you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to contact me. \nRegards\, \nKipp Battiston \n905-351-9413 \nbattistonkipp@hotmail.com
