Michigan Region Competition Updates
Happy Spring to the Michigan Region! Although the temperatures aren’t quite heating up yet, the competition season certainly is and I for one, am excited to get the 2026 season kicked off!
First, I would like to congratulate Jennifer Wiegers and Angela Hyde and their clubs for hosting a great
2025 Awards Banquet at the end of March! With nearly 100 attendees, it was a fun filled day with fellowship, great information about the National Corvette Museum and as always, allowed us to
honor our top competitors!

Nancy Baker and Brian Davies - Speed Rookies of the year:
Katie Schmidt and Ed Madden - Worker(s) of the year:

With a new competition season comes a new opportunity for you, your members and your club, to battle it out to take one of these top spots! Who will earn recognition this year… could it be you? Let’s get out there and compete!
As your clubs start to plan to host events this year, the National Competition Committee has created helpful safety guidelines for event hosts/chairs to review and have available at events to ensure that roles and responsibilities for event hosts, participants, workers and spectators are clearly defined. You will find these documents to be helpful in the planning and day of execution for your event. These documents along with the 2026 Rulebook and all associated competition forms can be found on the NCCC website at the following link: NCCC Sanctioned Competition Manual (Rulebook). Please make sure your club reviews all information about hosting events to make sure that you are aligned with the rulebook to avoid any issues at your event.If you need anything while planning your event, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or Rene and we will help to make sure your event is a success!
And finally, please don’t forget about the new 2026 Supplemental Competition Programs this year! The FCOA, Young Guns and Zora series aim to deliver a new and exciting path to a National Title and get our younger members engaged to preserve the future of the NCCC. If you have any questions regarding these programs, please contact our VP of Competition, Rene Cardenas, to sign up and register and start your qualifying journey to compete at the NCCC Convention in June! LET’S GET TO IT MICHIGAN REGION!!!

Please refer to the NCCC Competition Manual (Rulebook) for information on how to set up and run events. Event information and flyer must be entered into the NCCC Competition Database at least 45 days prior to an event or the sanction will not be approved. Results must be entered in the database and entrant fees paid within 15 days after an event takes place. A Users Guide is located on the Members Only page of the NCCC Website. It is located under the Competition Database dropdown menu. Governors are provided login information for the Members Only page to share with their Club members.
A fee of $0.75 per entrant (per car on rallyes and car shows) is to be paid to the Michigan Region Treasurer, using the entrant fee form, within 15 days after the event takes place. All entrants, including non-NCCC, must be included in your count. The form will automatically calculate fees upon entering the number of entrants if you fill it out using Excel.
