CCR-SCCA Central Carolina Region Sports Car Club of America

Don’t forget the SWCCCR Meeting this thursday night at Quaker Steak and Lube! We’ll eat from 6 to 7 and meet from 7 to 8:30.

We will have recap on CMP CCPS TT and PDX weekend, VIR race weekend, future events including Little Talledega GP Time Trial, Auto Fair at Lowe’s Motorspeedway, CCR Novice  Driving School and Autocross, Clemson Autocross and Motorports Festival Plans.

And we look forward to hearing from our members what THEY have been up to as well!

Our speaker will be this week - ME! The topic is The Future of Southeastern Motorsports. I’d like to talk about what’s available today, where we are now and what I see as the future directions we’ll be heading. Do we need tighter controls, more or less events, more rules, less classes? How do you get from autocross to Time Trial or from Time Trial to Road racing? How important are sponsors to our clubs and individual drivers? This will be a presentation and a discussion… I’d like to hear from some of our members on these topics. I think this is a meeting you will enjoy.

Thanks and we’ll look forward to seeing you there. If there are 8 people interested, after the meeting, we’ll head around the corner to Frankie’s Fun Park for some carting. I’ll get our discount set up in advance.

Thanks

CCR-SCCA has 10 spaces for the Food Lion Auto Fair in April at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

We’re looking for people to come out and show their cars on Saturday and Sunday. The list of participants is on the CCR forum.

Visit this thread on the forum for full information and spaces. - http://ccrscca.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=3587

The Central Carolinas Region is proud to offer a new program designed to help novice time trial drivers and road racers get started. We realize getting started in racing is expensive and we’d like to help. Through the SECOND GEAR program, we have collected an inventory of used racing gear that was donated by drivers in the southeastern racing community for your use. This gear is being offered at no charge for competition in specific SCCA SEDIV events. We have a variety of sizes in drivers suits, gloves, and shoes which will allow you to put your money in other areas so you can make your first racing experiences affordable.

Visit the Second Gear web page for full information!

We plan to kick off the 2010 year with our first meeting of the year thursday night February 11th at Quaker Steak and Lube just off Woodruff Rd. next to the Harley Davidson shop. We hope to see you there and that you will bring a friend. Show them THE GARAGE DOOR THAT SWCCCR BUILT!

We will have updates on recent events, a report from Lemons, a long range calendar of events, updates from SCCA’s SEDIV Conference last weekend and doorprizes! I have asked a few members to make some special reports I am sure you will enjoy! Please come prepared to tell us about what you’ve been up to since we last met!

The CCR-SCCA family would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the Puckett family upon the loss of Harry Puckett. Harry joined SCCA in 1965 and was a long time road racer.

The CCR-SCCA family would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the Theodore family upon the loss of Ted Theodore’s mother.

The CCR-SCCA family would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the Eckerich family upon the loss of Steve Eckerich’s father.

Please keep all the families in your thoughts and prayers.
