How do I join the Car Club at Virginia Tech?
Joining the club is easy. Simply stop by one of our meetings, typically held at 8:30 PM on Thursday nights at either Squires or Johnson Student Center. For a complete list of meeting times, as well as notes from previous meetings, click here.
What is involved in joining?
The CCVT charges $20 a year for dues. This is payable in cash or check at both meetings and car shows. If you have an extenuating circumstance and can’t attend any of these events, please sign up on the forums and let one of our officers know. We will attempt to work with you as best possible.
What does membership entitle me to?
Being a paid member of CCVT entitles you to using club tools, free entry to both car shows, access to the private section of the forums, food at the cookouts, and $5 off entry fees to all Blue Ridge Region AutoX’s. The money also goes towards the website, and other equipment the club has available.
Do I need a car to enter the CCVT?
No! Plenty of CCVT members are in a long transitional period between vehicles. We welcome everyone, regardless of if you drive an import, domestic, motorcycle, truck, bus or walk everywhere. All you need is a general interest in cars and the desire to learn more.
Can I become a member for only one semester?
No. $20 for the year only.
What kind of motorsports is the club involved in?
The CCVT participates primarily in AutoX events and drag racing events. We also have members involved in track events at locations like Summit Point and VIR. We also attempt to set up a friendly drag competition with UVA each year.
I have a 900 horsepower XYZ that would beat all your cars, lets street race?
The CCVT does not endorse or support any street racing, or any other illegal activities. We have set up AutoX caravans, nights at the drag strip, Dyno days, and many other events to satisfy everyones needs. Likewise, the CCVT is not a competiton for who has the most expensive or fastest car. As a diverse group we enjoy cars with 90hp as much as we enjoy the ones with 750. Multi-colored cars with homemade parts are heavily encouraged and welcomed into the club.
I know absolutely nothing about cars and only drive my moms ‘87 Ford Taurus, should I join the club?
Again, the club is all about learning and meeting new people. Even if you don’t have a motorized vehicle of any sort, and don’t know what a transmission is, everyone is encouraged to join the club.
