Along with a great automotive theme, Quaker Steak recently catered BBQ to one of our Solo events at Black Lake and did a great job. They assured me they will have enough waiters/staff and a quiet area for us to hold our meeting.
We will eat from 6 to 7 and start our meeting at 7. We will recap recent events, upcoming schedule of Southeastern motorsports events, trade and sale and our speakers for the evening.
Our vendor for the evening will be Sports Cars Etc. and Henry Payne will tell us a little about his business and Dread Naught Racing. Henry has been an autocrosser, a hillclimber and a road racer for many years. I well remember him driving his Blakely to Charlotte for Solo IIs and whipping us constantly. Henry made the swap from British cars to Miatas a few years back! We’ll look forward to hearing from him and how he’s healing up from knee surgery.
Our topic for the evening will be EUROFEST! In honor of this, we are asking everyone to bring their European cars for parking out front in a special section at Quaker Steak parking lot. We hope to see a wide variety from British to Italian cars!
Barry Harms is one of the car judges that assists in managing the EUROFEST Auto Festival. He will be speaking to us about the history of Eurofest, the plans for this years event (Oct. 16-18) and the marques being honored this year. If you haven’t been to Eurofest, this is one of the largest European car shows held in the south and it’s close… it’s held at the Zentrum at the BMW Manufacturing facilities in Spartanburg, SC!
