Vettes versus the Dragon
2024-09-05 - 2024-09-08 | Fontana Village Resort, 300 Woods Rd, Fontana Dam, NC, 28733, United States
This year’s event has sold out. Next year’s dates will be announced later this year.
Vettes versus the Dragon and Smoky Mountain Drives are sponsoring an event in the area surrounding the famous “Tail of the Dragon”. This 3-day corvette-only rain-or-shine event includes over 600 miles of epic mountain driving. A link to their Facebook page is here. If you wish to drive with the group, you can register here. Tickets are $199 for car and driver which includes a catered dinner on Friday, a Vettes versus the Dragon T-shirt, event packet with detailed route map, and more. For a passenger, the cost is $30 which includes the T-shirt and Friday dinner. The event is limited to 100 corvettes, and you must provide a valid Driver’s License, proof of Insurance and be 18 years or older to drive. To see what the drive is about, click the link here.
The host hotel is the Fontana Village Resort (see the blue box under “VENUES” also has their phone number). There is a discounted rate for your stay. To receive the discount, you must call the hotel’s reception desk and mention you’re with the group.
There are driving events starting Friday morning, throughout Saturday, and 1/2 the day on Sunday. There is a Thursday night check-in as well as Friday morning. Friday after driving the welcome dinner will be at 129 HUB known as the “Dragon Welcome Center” (see the blue box under “VENUES”). After driving on Saturday, there will be a bonfire at the resort. Sunday being a shorter day, about 1/2 the group leaves for the commute home.
Beachcombers will meet at Greenbrier Mall Thursday morning (time to be determined) for the 8+ hour 500+ mile drive to the Resort. Beachcombers who are interested can help decide to stay Sunday night or check out and drive home. At a minimum it would be a 3-night Stay checking in on Thursday and checking out on Sunday.
Please RSVP below and let me know your plans to help organize the group’s travel. If you make room reservations at the resort, please let me know the discount. A check at hotels.com has the resort’s rate at $147/night during this period.

2024 Holiday/Christmas Party
2024-12-07 18:00 - 23:00 | DoubleTree by Hilton, 1900 Pavilion Drive, Virginia Beach, VA, 23451, United States
Our annual Holiday/Christmas party will once again be at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel. We decided to not have a theme this year, so traditional holiday party attire is in order. Our Beachcomber flyer is here.
The price is the same as last year. $35/member, $70/member-couple, $60/non-members. It is too late to RSVP on our website although RSVPs are still open below. Please know we’ve already submitted our headcount and payment. RSVPs will be turned off on noon on December 3rd. If you have any questions, after that please call me (Bill) at 757-343-4873. If you have signed up but have not paid, please bring your payment (cash, or check made out to “Beachcombers Corvette Club”) to holiday party.
At 5:30PM we will have our check-in tables open outside of the ballroom. All need to check in where we’ll get our raffle tickets, 50/50 tickets, and we can enter guess-the-count of candies. Photos this year are going to be different. Know the restaurant adjacent to the lobby is undergoing reservations. As such, they have a temporary area in the lobby where the 15ft tree is. As such, we won’t be able to use this area to take photos this year so as to not disturb the restaurant’s customers. Therefore, photos with a tree as a backdrop will not be in the lobby, but in the ballroom. There will be a 15ft tree in the front left corner. So, if you want pictures with the tree as your backdrop, after check-in when doors open at 6:00PM, head to that tree.
Know that the restaurant bar in the lobby is not part of the cash bar we have within the ballroom. So please, after the party starts, fill you glass inside the ballroom after the doors open! We get credit for purchases from the bar inside the ballroom. We won’t get credit for purchases from the bar in the lobby. When doors open at 6:00 will be when the cash bar opens at 6:00PM and hors d-oeuvres will start being served. We have two selections: crispy vegetable lumpia and also bacon wrapped scallops. Additionally, there will be a stationary display with fruits and berries, and international and domestic cheeses. We will have a social hour from 6:00-7:00PM followed by our buffet dinner.
Our buffet dinner includes: Warm rolls & butter, House Salad with ranch and balsamic dressing, Oven Roasted Chicken Breast with Fontina Sherry Cream, Salmon with a Teriyaki Drizzle, Braised Short Ribs with our Signature Braising Sause, Roast Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Vegetable Medley, Assortment of Mini Holiday Pick-up Desserts, freshly brewed Regular & Decaffeinated Coffee, and Unsweet Iced Tea. There will also be a chef selections dessert bar, as well as our own Beachcombers holiday cake!
After dinner festivities include: raffle prize drawings, a left-right gift exchange, an ugly sweater contest with prizes for best man and best woman). There will be other surprises! If participating in the left-right, bring a wrapped/bagged gift with a value of approximately $30.
As last year, we will have an after party on the 12th floor. Bring snacks, finger foods, and beverages of your choosing. No doubt we’ll be playing Left-Right-Center (LRC) so bring plenty of $1 bills!
Know the list below are for people who have signed up but not necessarily paid. Payment needs to be made to our Treasurer, Clay Beall.

Valentine's Day Fun Run
2025-02-08 11:00 - 16:00 | Surf Rider – Poquoson, Surf Rider 105 Rens Rd, Poquoson, VA, 23662, United States
We’re heading to the Surf Rider in Poquoson, VA. A link to the Surf Rider’s menu is here.
We’ll first meet at 11:00AM at Greenbrier Mall at the parking lot next to Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant. We’ll sign our NCCC waiver, have our driver’s meeting at 11:15AM, and head out for a 40-minute/28-mile drive to Suffolk. We’ll arrive at 12:00PM to stop and meet other beachcombers at the Food Lion located at 2815 Godwin Blvd, Suffolk VA 23434. As needed, rest rooms are in the Food Lion at the end of aisle 11 next to the Frozen Foods. We’ll have our west side beachcombers sign our NCCC waiver, then have another driver’s meeting at 12:15PM and head out at 12:20PM for our fun run. The fun run will take approximately 40 minutes and 21 miles of back roads as we head north out of Suffolk towards Smithfield and Bartlett. We should be driving through at Bartlett at 1:10PM where we’ll turn on Route 17 to head over the James River Bridge. From Bartlett, its approximately 35 minutes and 19 miles to the Surf Rider.
For those attending the luncheon at the Surf Rider but do not wish to participate in the fun run drive can just head to the Surf Rider and meet the fun run group which should arrive between 1:30 and 1:45PM. We should hopefully be seated before 2:00PM to begin our luncheon. We will give out red roses and chocolates. Between 3:30 and 4:00PM we’ll have announcements and pick our door prize winners! Afterwards we’ll have photos both inside and outside the restaurant. At that time, each will find their way home. Some may wish to continue the day. This will be discussed at the Food Lion meetup. If there is a group wanting to go somewhere, we’ll meet after the luncheon outside the Surf Rider and determine where and head there.
