Established in 1968 , the Central Kansas Corvette Club has brought together Corvette enthusiasts from all over Central Kansas and has become one of the fasted growing Corvette clubs in North America. Members range from from age 45 to 85 spanning 7 generations of corvette production and a wide range of corvette knowledge.
The club features many events throughout the entire year with a wide variety of activities, providing something for every "Vette" owner. Membership activities include monthly 'Third Thursday" Downtown event, Drive & Dines, Car Shows, Road Trips, etc. The level of participation is up to each individual member. There are no attendance requirements to retain membership.
We are based in Hutchinson, Kansas. Many of our members have been involved in the Corvette hobby for many years. Others just bought their first Corvette and are new to the hobby. The rest are somewhere in between.
