Our meeting will be 2nd Thursday of the month which is July 10th at RYAN’s Steakhouse on Laurens Road in Greenville, SC. We will eat from 6 to 7 Meet from 7 to 8:30 and leave when they throw us out as usual.
Our speakers will be:
Dave McKenzie – Autocross Director for Central Carolinas Region

Dave and Nick will be speaking about the southeastern autocross programs. They will cover venues, events, classes, competition, rules and talk some about the Shootout at Black Lake… the CCR / SCR joint 2 day event being held at Michelin’s testing facility in Laurens. Plan to attend to hear more!

Also, if you have any items for sale or trade, please bring the info to the meeting.
Thank you for your support of the South West Chapter of Central Carolinas Region!!!
Any ideas on improvements to meetings or potential sites for autocrosses for 2008 in our area, please contact me. This would include the area between Greenville and Columbia, Greenville and Charlotte and up into Western North Carolina as well.

The Continental Tire Triple Crown Series is entering it’s third event at Eagle’s Nest.
View the standings after Wolf Ridge
Of the four CSP drivers, three have a chance at a set of tires with one driver guaranteed to win a set upon entering the course at Eagles Nest.
We’ll see you on the mountain!
CCR would like to extend our condolences to the family of Steve Poe. Steve attended the last SWCCCR dinner as a guest of a CCR member. Steve was the unfortunate victim of an accident in his garage. After replacing a seal on his Corvair, the car shifted while jacking up the transmission. Even though the chassis was supported by jack stands, lifting the transmission caused the car to move and come down on Steve. Steve leaves behind a wife, brother, sister and two grown sons.
Steve’s obituary can be seen at the Greenville Online web site.
Memorials may be made to: Corvair Preservation Foundation, P.O. Box 607, Lemont, IL 60439
or to: American Heart Association, 3535 Pelham Road, Greenville, SC 29615
This unfortunate event should be a reminder to all that we must take care when working in the garage. Working under a car can be dangerous, and potentially life threatening. Please use the best equipment you can and always have someone else around when you are under a car.
