Regional & Local Chapter News

This year 9 local Cadillac v-Club Chapters will be hosting holiday banquets for their members and several of those events are "at full capacity" based on the RSVP registrations.  Checkout the list of the upcoming events on the CadillacVClub.com homepage. At each local chapter banquet, one lucky member will have an opportunity to win a two person multi-day ticket package to attend a Cadillac V-Corral/Suite event at IMSA Weathertech Championship race in 2022.  V-Club Chapters located in the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Southwest will be giving away a trip to the Laguna Seca IMSA event scheduled for April 29 - May 1, 2022 and Chapters located in the South Central and Atlantic Northeast will be giving away a trip to the Rolex 24 Hour IMSA event in Daytona scheduled for January 27-30, 2022.  To qualify to win one of these door prizes you must have RSVP'd to attend a local chapter event and you must be present at the banquet to receive the prize certificate to claim your ticket package. There will also be two V-Club holiday celebration "grand prizes" given away via a random drawing after all holiday events have been completed.  The winners will be announced on Monday, December 20 via the Cadillac V-Club Newsroom and on our official Cadillac V-Club Facebook page. The prize certificates must be used during the calendar year 2022. Grand Prize #1 - a full tuition paid trip to the two-day Cadillac V-Performance Academy in Pahrump, NV.  The winner will be selected via a random draw from among all local chapter members who RSVP'd to attend a holiday banquet and actually attended the banquet. Grand Prize #2 - a full tuition paid trip to the two-day Cadillac V-Performance Academy in Pahrump, NV.  The winner will be selected via a random draw from among all regional V-Club members and those local chapter members who were unable to attend a local chapter holiday banquet this year. These two grand prizes combined with the local chapter Cadillac V-Corral ticket package door prizes provide an opportunity for every Cadillac V-Club member to win a prize during our annual holiday celebration. The total value of all prizes being awarded exceeds $11,500.  Recipients of prize certificates are responsible for associated travel arrangements and expenses. Prize certificates are not transferable to any non-member of the Cadillac V-Club and must be used during the calendar year 2022. Should the events be cancelled for any unforseen reason, a best effort will be made to provide tickets to an alternate venue at a future date.

Eric commented, "the V series cars were always appealing to me, the cross between sport and luxury is unmatched, and the sound of a V well, all of you know what I am referring to... I can’t wait to see the local Vegas Chapter grow, I know there’s a lot of V’s around the city and I am excited to meet many of those owners and introduce them to the Cadillac V-Club"!
