Gail
Youngblood from Houston runs a successful Texas Corvette Club,
Xcelerate Vettes, based out of Houston. The club was started in 2015
and was sponsored by Xcelerate Street Performance, an area high
performance shop. Unlike most of the Corvette clubs in her area
Gail structured her club around actually driving Corvettes rather than
sitting and showing. Gails slogan for the club is "We Love To Drive".
According to Gail, "the Corvette is a race car and we like to test the
ability of these high performance machines". The clubs unique approach
has other clubs in the area referring to them as “that fast group”. Gails
club cruises mostly in the Houston area as far north areas as Bastrop,
Bellville and the Sam Houston National Forest. They will also cruise
south to Matagorda, Surfside Beach, Galveston and the Anahuac National
Wildlife Preserve.
In
addition to the group cruises and runs they also appear at various
local business grand openings. The club participates with other car and
motorcycle clubs for charity functions and benefits. Our other partners are Houston Performance Driving and Speed Advocates; both based in the Houston area. Most
recently the club is now participating with Corvettes for Cops. This
group was started by a retired law enforcement officer. Gail
takes great pride in organizing shows and fund raisers that show
appreciation for local law enforcement and all first responders. return to index page
