MEMBERSHIP CARD:
What would club membership be without a Membership Card? Our full color membership cards are printed on durable plastic with your name, GS # (if applicable) city, state, and expiration date. You get a new card each year! Regular Memberships include one card. Lifetime Memberships include a card for both you and your spouse with prominent "LIFETIME" markings. Replacement or additional cards are available through the GSR Store.
MEMBERSHIP BADGE:
The GSR Membership Badge is very distinctive and rates high on the "cool" factor. Featuring the ever present hashmarks, the screen printed plastic badge includes your name, GS # (if applicable), city and state. And no pins to poke holes in shirts or clips to break as our badges feature a handy magnetic back. Annual memberships include one badge. Lifetime memberships include a badge for yourself and spouse, both with prominent "LIFETIME" markings. Replacement or additional badges are available through the GSR Store.
STATIC CLING WINDOW DECAL:
Of course, you are proud of your Grand Sport (as you are of ANY Corvette) and you'll want to tell the world you are also a proud member of the GSR. You'll receive a static cling window decal featuring the Grand Sport Registry logo and the short VIN of your GS, if that number is still available. If the VIN-numbered sticker for your GS is not available, you'll get the same decal without a VIN number. Extra decals are available through the GSR Store for your other vehicles, too. Put one on your minivan! At least it will be cool in that respect.
HASHMARKS NEWSLETTER:
The GSR newsletter, appropriately named "Hashmarks", will be delivered via email, generally every quarter (dependent upon the amount of newsworthy submissions we receive). It will be filled with news of upcoming events, past shows, member profiles, tech tips, web site updates, new sponsors and member discounts, and whatever else we can squeeze in there. Hardcopy newsletters can be mailed for a small fee upon request.
GRAND SPORT LAPEL PIN:
FREE for GSR Lifetime Members, this GSR exclusive lapel pin tells the world of your passion about the Grand Sport.
Not to be left out, the standard Grand Sport lapel pin is available for all others through the GSR Store. Members get a discount, of course!
SPONSOR DISCOUNTS:
We're excited to announce that we have lined up some sponsors that will honor our request for GSR Member Discounts. Examples include a 10% Discount off at Eckler's Corvette Parts Accessories, 10% Discount off at Corvette America, a cost + 10% discount on genuine GM parts at VanDevere GM Supercenter, 5% off tires and service at Goodyear service centers, and many more. These benefits alone can save you hundreds of dollars! Stay tuned for announcements as we bring other vendors on board with even more discounts. See our Sponsors Page for a list of our current Sponsors and Affiliates.

SPECIAL ACCESS TO EVENTS:
At a recent Concours d'Elegance event at Amelia Island in Florida, we arranged some very special concessions for our members to get them "up close and personal" with the five original 1963 Grand Sport Corvette race cars. In a later event, we arranged a private tour of the famous Collier Collection in Naples, Florida, of antique and racing automobiles (including an original 63 GS). And of course, we always try to organize a "Skunk Owners Night Out" at all the big shows. More special events for GSR Members are planned so stay tuned.
GRAND SPORT CORRAL PARKING:
At most national and larger regional events, we will organize Grand Sport ONLY Parking Corrals for our members. These corrals are usually intended for the blue and white 1996 Grand Sports only to maintain their visual impact. But at the discretion of the individual event organizers, GSR members driving other Corvettes may usually park at one end of our corrals (not intermixed with the blue n' whites) given space is available. At some events we'll have a canopy with tables and chairs and some cold soft drinks to share with our members and often some special GSR-only awards, too. We're always a fixture at events such as The Gathering at the National Corvette Museum in May, Corvettes at Carlisle in August, and others, so look for us. We're usually not that hard to spot! 
ACCESS TO MEMBERS ONLY AREA OF THE GSR WEB SITE:
Lots of cool stuff for GSR members only:
- 1996 GS VIN/RPO Database
