NCCC Autocross
Just an advance teaser, the Carolina Autocros Team will be hosting a 3-day, 21-event autocross weekend over the 4th of July in Sanford NC.
This will be our second event at this great autocross venue.
I will post a link to the event flyer is a couple of days.

Tom,
This year you and the RCG need to plan on all 3 days.
With what we learned about the venue last year, we will be able to setup better courses this year.

Sorry I missed the event last weekend, I have been reading the posting and it looks like I missed a good one, I really like the picture of your car on the course from the angle, it looks like you can barely reach the pedals.
The arm is still not ready yet, I tried to open the rear door to he trailer and couldn't do it yet, should be soon.
I carry a couple of pedal mounts just in case, the best way to get one is from Dave. BTW, they should be in the next Mid-American catalog.
Hope to see you guys soon.

Wow Mike.... you are getting the word out early on this one.
Have you heard the news? The corps wants me out in AZ. I will be going to Quantico for 3 months on the 18th of Feb. Then in June I'll be in Pensacola for a month then out to Yuma for 3 or 4 years.
I don't know how much racing I'll find out there, but it sure won't be like the Carolina Region.
See ya,
Ed

Hi Ed,
Glad to hear from you, I had heard you were going to Yuma. Before you go let me know, there are a lot of great Corvette folks in AZ, the Desert Corvette Club is a really great bunch and will welcome you with open arms.
The reason for being early is to try and get the word out, we are going to limit to 60 entries again and hopefully all 3-day packages. We have a small club and there is a lot of work involved in hosting 2-day events when there are 250 miles from where you live.

This has become a great way for us to exchange information on the track. It's much better than walking the track which is still important. Hey Ed, What is your job description?

NCCC rules allow passengers but not in the same way SCCA does, I'm not sure but I think the passenger can not be entered in the event, so if you can find some hot shoe that wants to just ride alone, I guess you cna have a passenger.

It is currently my plan to be there, a lot depends on the arm and possible work or the shoulder.

Mike,
I am going to try and make it too. If things fall in line, I want to come. And my wife Diane wants to run the new race car we got too. It would a hell of a way to leave the Carolinas on my way to the left coast!
See ya,
