	The Colonial Capital Rods and Classics Car Club We're a club for ALL types of auto enthusiasts! Whatever you drive, you're welcome to join us. Families are always welcome. We're a non-profit organization that stages car shows each year to benefit local charities in eastern North Carolina. We also participate in Christmas parades, cruising, displays, and other fun activities. Come check us out! Judging Judging at CCRC Shows is done on a point basis. Judging is done by separate teams, each judging a distinct part of the vehicle, Engine, Exterior, and Interior. Overall standing is determined by the sum of the three scores. For details on the point system used at CCRC shows see this attachment.

Some years we did a show in the spring and a "display" or "Cruise-in" at the Mum Fest. We started putting on a show at the Smoke on the Water Festival in 1999. We also have added other shows to the schedule in 2002 - present. Count Lamielle is the curent President and the club's longest continuous member.
