Oh… and by the way… when it’s all done and over and we are all back home, relaxing with some great memories… remember :
WE ARE GOING TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN SEPTEMBER 29-30th at CHASING THE DRAGON III!
We concluded negotiations with Eagle’s Nest on June 21. Unfortunately, the financial situation there requires them to rent out the meadow and road at a price higher than CCR, as a nonprofit and with limited sponsorship, can afford. We have officially pulled this event from the SEDIV TT schedule for 2011. We are leaving Eagle’s Nest with a good relationship and we hope we can return one day.
While this event has been cancelled, CCR is still planning to run a points paying hillclimb event before the end of the year.
Stay tuned! Thanks for your support… as drivers and event staff and courseworkers… all of us working together is making this sport grow. Great job!
The Central Carolinas Region of SCCA is proud to announce a new hillclimb site and a new hillclimb event to be run June 11th and 12th this year.
Take a DEEP BREATH and hold it before you read this…
INTRODUCING…..
Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb – Robbinsville, NC
· 2.2 Miles long course near the famous the Tail of the Dragon TM with over 1000 feet of elevation · a great mix of blind sweepers and straights in some of North Carolina’s most beautiful forests
· waterfalls next to start line and a scenic overlook deck at top
· “formula car” friendly but grippy asphalt with no potholes or uneven surfaces
· guard rails and earth walls from start to finish
· likely the largest group of spectators at a hillclimb in years!
Drivers – Registration will open soon. Records available but only one per class
Courseworkers – Free accommodations and food. Sign up soon!
Spectators – welcome at no charge
Why did we ask you to hold your breath?
Because if you held your breath as long as you can, you’re not even half way up THIS course!
