Q: Tell us about the organization/club that’s putting the event together
Five Star Corvettes is an organization founded in January 2024 by a passionate group of car enthusiasts dedicated to celebrating and showcasing Corvettes. Our club focuses on organizing car shows that bring together Corvette owners and fans, providing a platform to share our love for these iconic vehicles. We strive to create memorable events that highlight the beauty and performance of Corvettes, fostering a vibrant community of car enthusiasts.
Q: What do you think is going to make this event different?
What sets our event apart is the comprehensive experience we are offering attendees. In addition to a car show, participants can enjoy our exclusive “Track Pass” on both Friday and Saturday, allowing them to drive their vehicle around the official NASCAR track at the Atlanta Motor Speedway behind a pace car—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
On Saturday, attendees will have the chance to take a memorable photo in front of the official NASCAR Winners Circle with their vehicle. To cap off the event, we are hosting a Denim and White Party on Saturday evening from 8 to 12 in Club One at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, featuring a live performance by L. Young and a DJ. This blend of activities ensures a unique and unforgettable experience for all.
Q: Let’s talk about the light show, that sounds like it’s going to be awesome.
On Friday night, we are thrilled to present a spectacular light show under the lights of the Motor Speedway. This event will feature a dazzling display of LED lights from the participating cars, creating a vibrant and colorful atmosphere. Attendees can look forward to an electrifying experience as the track is illuminated with these impressive light displays. The top five cars with the most outstanding LED light presentations will be awarded, adding a competitive and exciting element to the night. This light show promises to be a highlight of the event, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
Q: What else should people expect on Friday?
On Friday, attendees can expect an all-vehicle showcase featuring an impressive variety of cars, from theme cars to Mopars to Kia Stingers and everything in between. The event will also feature NOPI Man, who will be available for photos, and Kyle from NOPI, who will serve as a guest judge. The car showcase will culminate in an awards ceremony recognizing the top 20 vehicles. This diverse display of automotive excellence promises to offer something for every car enthusiast and set the stage for an exciting weekend.
Q: Saturday is Corvettes only, correct?
Correct, Saturday is dedicated exclusively to an All-Corvette Showcase. We will welcome Corvettes from surrounding states as well as local Corvette clubs, bringing together an impressive array of these iconic vehicles. The event will feature awards for the top 40 Corvettes, with a grand prize of $1,000 for the Best of Show.
