Jack Lowery Award

This award is given annually to recognize the Carolina Corvettes member who has consistently promoted thebest interests of the club and advocates standards of excellence in club goals, activities and achievements.It is dedicated to the memory of Jack Lowery, who worked in the parts department of Rex Osteen Chevrolet when Carolina Corvettes was formed in 1965.

In those days, the dealership kept the parts department openuntil 10 pm, and Jack managed it during those hours. As a result, he became friends with all those whoowned, maintained and raced their Corvettes.The new club needed a permanent meeting place, and Jack was kind enough to obtain the dealership'sconference room for use on a regular basis. He was an avid supporter of CCI and its members, and inaddition to the meeting place, he provided parts and service at discounted prices. Most notably, if a clubmember needed replacement parts after hours or on weekends, Jack would meet the member at thedealership, open up the parts department, and sell the need parts.

At the annual club banquet in January 1969, Jack was made an honorary member, then passed away the following month.

This award was initiated in his honor, and for many years was presented to the winner at the annual banquet by his widow.This tradition continues, and the trophy is awarded each year at the annual club banquet.
