SWCCR Report for March
Our March meeting at Ryan’s on Lauren’s Road went great! We had 2 guys down from Hendersonville with East Coast Chopstix who told us a little about their website and activities. They are very interested in getting more local autocrosses going in upstate and Western NC. Check them out at www.eastcoastchopstix.com We also had a good group from Clemson and a first time visiting road racer from Easley. We hope to see you all again.
We covered all upcoming motorsports events in southeast and stressed the need for course workers. Both SCR and CCR are in need for upcoming events. Ross Hennin, incoming President of the Clemson Sports Car Club, walked us through the plans for the Clemson Motorsports Festival event coming up April 19 at stadium parking lot… mobile dyno, car show, dealers, food. Should be a good time. Contact Ted for more info.
Dave Michel (President of DDMWORKS in Piedmont, SC) did a great job of walking us through options for getting more power. He brought samples of everything from filters to turbos and superchargers. He talked about the trade offs and cost versus benefit ratio. It’s common for people just getting started to buy A piece or A part to improve their car’s performance… Dave advised to keep looking at the system…all parts have to be working together in flow to achieve more power and benefits you want. Good information and Dave’s experience in this field made for an informative evening. Thanks Dave for the presentation and the helpful question answer session that ended around 10:30 !!!!
Vincent and Ron are working on getting a future SWCCCR meeting set up at ICAR along with a tour. Keep your fingers crossed. We are all really looking forward to seeing that. We’ll see you second Thursday of next month! Thanks!
