Treasurer - Nelson Smith III
One of the original members of the Bel Air Corvette Club (when it was founded in 1973), Nelson has lived in Harford County all his life and now lives in Jarrettsville, MD with his wife Sandy. He has four sons and 5 grand children that are spread out from Bel Air to Mobile AL, to Copenhagen, Denmark, and San Diego, CA. For 45 years, Nelson and his brother have co-owned Smith Hardware in Jarrettsville and are still active in the day-to-day operation.
Nelson owns a 1965 C2 green-green convertible he purchased in 1973 thanks to George Gallant, one of the founders of the Bel Air Corvette Club. In 2014, the '65 was retired from autocrossing and high speed track time to be restored for shows - no more fast laps around Summit Point raceway for this beauty. Since 2006, Nelson has owned a Pewter 2000 C5 that was purchased for autocrossing and track time.
