The Capitol City Rockets is the Suburban Maryland, DC, Northern Virginia chapter of the Oldsmobile Club of America. The Capitol City Rockets originated in 1989, and is currently operating in its 21st year. We split monthly meetings (currently) between Kilroy’s Bar and Grille off the Braddock Road exit of 495 in Northern VA and Branded 72 BBQ in Rockville, with one peer judged show co-hosted each year with the Metro Buick Keeping the Legend Club. The club currently consists of 39 members, 22 from Vir- Alive ginia, 12 from Maryland, 3 in Florida, and 1each from DC and West Virginia. A membership form is located in the back of this newsletter. One need not own an Oldsmobile to join, and dues re- main $15 dollars per year, payable by November the 1st, either by check or using the PayPal button on our Hemmings.com website. Current membership in the Oldsmobile Club of America is a re- quirement of CCR membership, as we are required to submit club rosters to OCA for yearly insurance coverage for our events.
