Enjoying America's Legend
Steel Town Corvettes is
many things to many people - autocrossing, racing, shows, cruises, trips, etc.
Steel Town Corvettes Club, STCC,
STC, Many things have changed over the years since Steel Town Corvettes was
founded in 1972. Original members of the club were primarily interested in
the performance aspect of Corvettes, i.e. road racing, autocrossing, and
rallies. Our founding members include
Corvette race car driver, builder and team sponsor Don Yenko, along with
champion drivers Donna Mae Mimms, sports car racing's "Pink Lady" and
legend Ed Lowther. As the membership expanded a more diversified club
emerged. Membership now averages 200+ and the Club has members from all
over Western Pennsylvania,
Northern West Virginia, Eastern Ohio and from as far away as Florida.
Today Steel Town Corvettes is many things to many people.
For those
members interested in performance, Steel Town Corvettes sponsors several "Yenko"
events throughout the year. These consist of fun rallies, day at the
drags, and autocrossing. Many of the members enjoy cruising during the
warm weather months. Monthly cruises begin at a predetermined location and
a club member selects dinner destination and leads the cruise. Other
events include an annual club
picnic, car shows, holiday parades, dances, social parities, guest speakers at
monthly meetings, trips to Carlisle, weekend trips to interesting locations, and
many other special events.
At Steel Town Corvettes' holiday banquet in
December the Don Yenko award is presented to the club member that has acquired
the most "Points" for participation in in Club performance events.
Additional awards are given to members for their achievements and participation
in Club events throughout the year.
When the meetings move indoors in October, Steel Town Corvettes arranges for
guest speakers. Past speakers have included John Connolly (Yenko
historian), Ron McClure and Dick Jevon from Alcoa Aluminum Manufacturing and
Chip Ganassi of CART and NASCAR racing fame. These special meetings are
also open to other car club members. Members are kept well informed of
upcoming events and other pertinent information through the club's monthly
newsletter, web page and email notices.
Steel Town Corvette Club is many things to many people. There is
something for everyone, so come out and meet us at one of our events.
We're sure you'll enjoy it as much as we do. When you see us on the road
REMEMBER TO WAVE and in your heart
