About the Queen City Chapter of the NCRS

Welcome to the Queen City NCRS serving the Cincinnati and surrounding Tri-State Area

Several Corvette fans gathered to celebrate the significance of Americas finest sports car, in doing so they started the Queen City NCRS Chapter. Many years later we have developed into a tight knit group of friends, growing and learning all the way. We look forward to our monthly meetings. Prospective members are welcomed and encouraged to attend. See the Calendar for date and location.

With a variety of members any Corvette related answer is only a phone call away. We take part in road trips, picnics, technical seminars; not to mention our annual swap and chapter meets. Along with group trips to NCRS Regional and National activities there is always fun to be found within our great chapter. Look through our website, and mark our next meeting on your calendar we are looking forward to meeting you.

User comments

The Chevrolet Corvette has a long-standing history as the official pace car of the Indianapolis 500, a role it reprised with the 2007 and 1998 Corvette Pace Cars, each reflecting the styling and technology of their time.

2007 Corvette Pace Car

The 2007 Corvette Pace Car marked the 10th time a Corvette paced the Indy 500 and celebrated Chevrolet’s involvement in the iconic race. This model was based on the C6-generation Corvette and featured unique Atomic Orange paint with distinctive gold ribbon graphics. Its LS2 V8 engine offered a powerful 400 horsepower, and the pace car included modifications for safety and performance, meeting Indy 500 pace requirements without needing further engine modifications. Chevrolet also released 500 replicas for sale, making it a sought-after collectible. Patrick Dempsey drove the parade car at the 2007 race which was won due by Franchetti.

1998 Corvette Pace Car

The 1998 Corvette Pace Car was a standout for its bold design and performance, coinciding with the debut of the C5 Corvette. This pace car featured a purple and yellow paint scheme with striking graphics, which was daring and memorable for its time. The C5’s new LS1 V8 engine produced 345 horsepower, a significant improvement over previous generations. Chevrolet produced 1168 replicas of the 1998 pace car, which featured a retina searing blue purple and yellow color scheme and graphics, capturing enthusiasts’ attention.

Both the 1998 and 2007 Corvette Pace Cars are remembered for their unique designs, technological advancements, and the continued tradition of Chevrolet’s presence in the Indy 500, enhancing Corvette’s legacy in American motorsports.
