The Bel Air Corvette Club participates in a number of National Council of Corvette Clubs (NCCC) activities each year as well as other locally sponsored events that are done to promote good will or for the benefit of the Club members. NCCC events earn the club points within their respective region of NCCC. The National Council of Corvette Clubs, Inc. (NCCC) was founded as an all volunteer, non-profit organization in 1959 by a small group of Corvette owners/enthusiasts. The purpose of the NCCC was (and still is) to promote interest in Corvette ownership and operation, to publish information on the use and operation of the Corvette and to establish an organized effort to encourage others to participate in the enjoyment connected with the use of the Corvette! In the early days, the number of Clubs was rather small with all of them being located east of the Mississippi. Today, there are more than 280 Clubs in 16 regions both east and west of the Mississippi. The membership in the NCCC comprises more than 18,000 members, the largest non-profit, all volunteer, Corvette organization in the United States! NCCC sanctioned events include Concours D'Elegance, Rallyes and a variety of Speed Events. Non-sanctioned events include Eat n' Rides, parades, and other similar events that are conducted to benefit a charity or for the benefit of the club members.
