About the Lone Star Corvette Club
Just bought a new Corvette? Or just love them? You’ve come to the right place! The Lone Star Corvette Club is dedicated to the Corvette lifestyle and the people that own them. Our Club slogan says it all:
Good Friends… Great Cars!
Founded in 1982, Lone Star Corvette Club has over 1,000 members – each with his/her own story to tell of how they found that perfect “Vette.” Based in the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex, Lone Star Corvette Club offers just about any activity an owner of “America’s Sports Car” could want: Road Trips, Day Trips, Open Road Racing, Drag Racing, Autocross, Car Shows, Displays and Parades, Club Meetings, the Lone Star Corvette Classic, and most of all, fun times with good friends.
Road Trips – Lone Star Corvette Club takes at least one significant road trip each year, often in conjunction with a Corvette event. Past trips have taken us to the Black Hills of South Dakota, Key West in Florida and most recently, the National Corvette Museum's 25th Anniversary Caravan to Bowling Green, Kentucky and many more.
Day Trips – Just about every month finds a group of us headed somewhere in our Corvettes for a day of fun on the road. It might be for a tour of some local wineries, a trip to the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards for a cattle drive and BBQ, a car show being held by another Corvette club, a tour of members’ garages, or just a drive in the country to enjoy our cars and each other’s company.
Open Road Racing – Like to go fast in your Vette? Many Club members participate in Open Road Racing at events held in Big Bend, Texas and Arnold, Nebraska. In addition, several driving schools are offered in the DFW area where you can go to hone your driving skills. For more information,“click” the “Open Road Racing” button.
Open Road Racing
Drag Racing – Another “go fast” group within the Club are the Drag Racers. They compete at tracks around the Metroplex for trophies and bragging rights. Many members race cars (pickups too) in addition to
Corvettes. No experience is required. For more information, “click” the “Drag Racing” button.
Drag Racing
Autocross – Others in the Club prefer to sharpen their driving skills by competing in Autocross. An autocross is a timed competition where drivers navigate, one at a time, through a temporary course marked by traffic cones, usually in a parking lot. Autocross places more emphasis on car handling and driving skill than on sheer horsepower. For more information, “click” the “Autocross” button.
Autocross
NCRS – Many Club members also belong to the NCRS – National Corvette Restorers Society. If you are into originality and the preservation of the
Corvette as an icon, you will find many in the Club that share your passion. For more information,“ click” the “NCRS”button.

Car Shows – Love showing your Vette off or having it judged? On almost any weekend (except for a few in the winter), at least one group from the Club will be headed to either a local or an out-of-town car show. We usually caravan to the out-of-town shows as a group and use the trip as a good excuse to socialize and dine out together.The Club sponsors a group of members each year in the
Dallas Autorama. On the first Saturday of each month, you’ll find a bunch of us at
Cars & Coffee at Corvette World in Carrollton, “kicking tires” and telling tall tales about our cars.
Displays and Parades – The public loves to look at our
Corvettes. Every year we man a display of our cars in the
Dallas New Car Show at the
Convention Center. We also take a contingent of Vettes to the
State Fair of Texas. We’ve been asked in the past to drive
Indy Car drivers around the
Texas Motor Speedway’s oval before races. The
Dallas Veterans’ Day Parade has come to rely on the Club to provide cars and drivers for over 100 WWII, Korean and Vietnam Veterans each year. Ask any Club member who has participated and you will be told what an honor it is.
Lone Star Corvette Classic – In May of each year, the premier
Corvette event in North Texas is held at the
Texas Motor Speedway by the Club
. During its three day run, the “
Classic” attracts hundreds of
Corvettes and
Corvette Club members from across the US and Canada. In addition,
Corvette enthusiasts from around the area attend the event to take advantage of many different activities, including judged and Show N Shine car shows, a variety of automotive vendors, good food and a competitive autocross event.
100% of the net proceeds from the
Classic's Live and Silent Auctions go to support the Club’s main charity,
The National Corvette Museum and 3 rotating charities chosen from several candidates each year by Club members.
Club Meetings – The Club meets on the second Saturday of each month at various locations around the Metroplex. We would love to have you come to a meeting and “check us out.”
