The Old Dominion Corvette Club has an active group of members who attend local, regional and national Corvette activities and events. Below you will see some of the many outings our members have participated in.
| July 4, 2008. Leesburg 4th of July Parade. We had about 20 cars turn out for another great 4th of July parade in Leesburg, VA. The weather looked like it was going to be a problem, we even had a few sprinkles for a short while, but eventually it dried up. And as you can see, there were plenty of spectators! Looking forward to next year. |
|
| June 22, 2008. 22nd Annual Rod Run. Sometimes last minute activities turn out to be a lot of fun. Today was no exception! Several members attended the Ted Britt Ford / Custom Cruisers of Northern Virginia 22nd Annual Rod Run. All proceeds for the show went to Children's Hospital and Wounded Warrior Project. The weather was warm with a cool breeze, so we couldn't have asked for much better. There was plenty of food, snow cones, and cars. Did I say cars? Well, this show had Mustangs, Chevelles, Camaros, Cudas, Challengers, GTOs, Cobras, Novas, Hot Rods, a Pantera, America's Sports Car...Corvettes, and more. Two of our members even won "People's Choice" awards. Special thanks to our CCNV and Ted Britt Ford hosts! |

| June 14, 2008. Birthday at the Ballgame. It was a beautiful day for a baseball game, that's for sure. Severe thunderstorms, lightning, and all the trimmings. But that was OK, because once we got rolling there was nothing but fun from there. And yes, Corvettes do work in the rain for those of you wondering! Speaking of Corvettes...ODCC had an addition to the family yesterday (Jim and Ann got themselves a 2000 Magnetic Red convertible). We arrived at the stadium, entered our reserved box, and were greeted with plenty of food and drink (crabcakes, hotdogs, chicken wings, chips & dip, sodas, and cold beer). Then we waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. It rained, and rained, stopped, and then rained, and rained, and finally the game was called off. But all certainly wasn't lost. In fact, we had a great time despite Mother Nature dampening the event. Thanks to all that attended, and a very special "Happy Birthday" to Leslie! |

| May 1, 2008. National Corvette Museum Caravan. The first ever ODCC caravan to the National Corvette Museum began in Leesburg at 8:00 AM Thursday, May 1, 2008. Our 3-car caravan spent the next 11 hours driving 700 miles to Bowling Green, KY. Highlights included visits to the Corvette Assembly Plant with the Capital City Corvette Club, a guided tour of the National Corvette Museum, and a close-up and personal visit with the new ZR-1!. There was rain on Saturday morning for our two-hour tour through the Kentucky countryside to Makers Mark Distillery, with lunch at the Whistle Stop. Sunday morning we departed at 5:00 AM for the long trip back to Loudoun County. What a wonderful time higlighted with lifelong memories of our little caravan! |

| Apr. 19, 2008. La Grange Winery Cruise-In. For the second year running, we had outstanding weather for this wonderful event. Special thanks to Bob, Michael, and all of the La Grange staff for their exceptional hospitality. Corvettes (and their owners) came from miles around representing several different clubs. In the end, there were a total of 76 Corvettes and more than 125 people that visited during the day. Longest distance driven was 175 miles. On behalf of La Grange Winery, ODCC thanks all of those folks that took the time to make this an outstanding event this year. Mark your calendars for the same weekend in April next year, the winery has asked us back for a third year! |
|
| Mar. 2, 2008. Ashburn Firehouse Breakfast. We went to the Ashburn Fire / EMS Station 6 for the monthly fundraiser the department offers, a Pancake Breakfast. After a great breakfast, we embarked on a short but fun cruise taking advantage of the fantastic "almost" spring weather. |
|
| Dec. 26, 2007. Winter Karting. While ODCC is not typically a racing club, a few members did take advantage of the holiday season to test their driving skills. On Wednesday, December 26th, folks headed over to All Sports Grand Prix, an indoor karting facility in Sterling, for a few races. In addition to club members, we had a few family members including Bill Kolster's son, Chris, who was the Michael Schumacher (or Ron Fellows since this is a Corvette club) of the day. After we finished up, the crew headed down the street for some much deserved wings and beer. |
|
| Dec. 1, 2007. 1st Annual ODCC Chili Cook-Off. Well, it's over. The first annual ODCC Chili Cook-Off has come and gone. Yes, there was plenty of "smack talk", but in the end there could only be one winner. We had 10 outstanding entries that demonstrated a wide variance in cooking styles, spices, and flavors. We also had 4 entries for cornbread...tasty! Our winners for 2007 were Rick Barnes for his chili recipe, and Leslie Lemish for her cornbread. Special thanks to our hosts for the evening, Shane & Elizabeth Madigan. The plotting and planning has already begun for 2008! |
|
| Oct. 20, 2007. Fall Skyline Drive Cruise. The weather was spectaculer for this year's Fall Skyline Drive. The Fall route was great as we took 522 out of Front Royal to 211. Once on 211, it was "let the games begin". All those Vettes were like hornets swarming around anything else that moved. Once we hit the twisties, it turned into some good, old-fashioned high-speed driving. As you can see from the pictures, Massanutten was full of great views, and served as a great destination. The final count was somewhere around 105 Corvettes. Another great "Toys for Tots" event!! |
|
| Sep. 16, 2007. Corvettes At Sterling. This is the second annual Old Dominion Corvette Club's, Corvettes At Sterling fun show. We again raised funds for Loudoun Abused Women's Shelter, and ended up having 84 cars...a huge thanks to all that attended. The weather was PERFECT with blue skies and cool temps. A great time was had by all! |
|
| Aug. 4, 2007. 18th Annual Manassas Cruise-In. The annual Chuck Berge event held in Manassas drew around 200 Corvettes of all generations. Donations went to benefit the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Although the heat rivaled that of the surface of the sun, it was a good time. We spoke to several prospective members and handed out over 100 flyers. Some folks were at last years' show in Sterling and said they planned on attending again this year. |
|
| Jul. 28, 2007. Summer Thunder Cruise-In. Summer Thunder Cruise-In held at Franklin Park in Purcellville, Virginia. All in all, we had a good turn-out. We had several prospective members in there too and one former member showed up to socialize! We had the club banner up on the tents and as of today we secured one new paid member as a result of the show. |
|
| Jul. 4, 2007. Leesburg 4th of July Parade. Many cars turned out for the parade through Leesburg, VA. As you can see from the photos, there were hundreds of spectators as well. We even picked up a new ODCC member along the way. The weather was hot, but we couldn't have asked for a better day. Another good time was had by all! |
|
| May 12, 2007. Spring Skyline Drive Cruise. In total, there were 139 cars for the cruise. The oldest Vette was a '61. The folks that traveled the farthest to attend came in from Tampa, FL. We drove out to Skyline Drive using Route 211. Curves were great fun!! Once we arrived, after a little confusion, we all ended up in the same place for a group photo. Then we went to the Big Meadow for lunch. A good time was had by all! |
|
| Apr. 22, 2007. La Grange Winery Cruise-In. Wow! We couldn've asked for better weather. The turn-out was around the 50 car mark with folks coming in from Virginia and Maryland. The winery was a great experience with special thanks to Bob and Michael for the tours and exceptional hospitality. |

| Mar. 25, 2007. Spring NCRS Meet. Several members from ODCC participated in the National Corvette Restorers Society Mason-Dixon Chapter Meet on Sunday March 25th.

While the club is never short of people willing to lend a hand or a car in need of some work, the club rallied together again to perform an especially demanding project: One of the members was swapping out the original TH400 for a Keisler TKO-500 5-speed. While the project took a bit longer than originally expected, members came out of the woodwork to help with the swap. |
