20 Feb 2012: The council is on a hiatus for a few months while we consider its future. A survey will be sent out to member club reps for inputs this week, and we'll get back to everyone with the results within the next 30 days.

Welcome to the Car Club Council of Hampton Roads Website

Established in 1991, the Car Club Council of Hampton Roads (hereafter referred to as CCCHR) is an association of car clubs from all over southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Our goal is to help support the established local car clubs and their members by providing a coordinating body to review impending legislation that might adversely affect the automotive hobby as well as help resolve conflicts involving the scheduling of automotive events such as car shows, rallies, and charity events during the year.

Whether you are looking for 2011 Mustang accessories or parts for older Mustangs, American Muscle has a big selection of parts for 1979-2012 Ford Mustangs.

Meetings

The Car Club Council of Hampton Roads will meet the last Tuesday 29 May 2012 at Priority Chevrolet to discuss the result of the surveys and the future of the council. It is also requested car clubs have a representative of your club at this meeting on the 29 May 12 to provide any additional concerns.
