The SouthWest Chapter of Central Carolinas will hold their monthly meeting September 17th at a new location - Quaker Steak and Lube on Garlington Road just off Woodruff Road.

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!

We look forward to a great meeting and hope to see you there! Please call if you need directions or have questions! Thanks

CCR-SCCA is going to the Food Lion Auto Fair in September.

We will have 10 cars on display both days and are looking for cars to fill those spots. Each participant gets their car and two people into the show for free. Race cars are welcome, but will have to be unloaded behind the speedway and driven into the track to our area. CCR will be in the grass area between the front straight and pit road (in the middle of the Legends track)

This is an all day event. The club will meet at 6:15 and head for the track at 7:00. Auto Fair requests that clubs stay in place until 4:00 at the earliest, as the Auto Fair is open until 5:00.

Please visit this thread on the CCR forum for full information and to claim a spot!

How this event works

* Sign up for the first 12 hours (noon to midnight), the second 12 hours (midnight to noon), or the entire 24 hours.
* You must work 2 hours for every 12 hours you sign up for. The rest of the 10 hours you can run your car as often as you want.
* Cars will be running continuously during the entire event, so you can get back in line anytime you want.
* At the start line, you can declare a run as “official” or say nothing and it will be a practice run.
* Every driver gets 5 official runs, do not wait until near the end of the event to get all official runs in!

This year’s 24 hour event will benefit the Shriner’s. Members of local lodges will be at the event with food and drink, accepting donations for the children’s hospital.

The 3rd annual Rock-n-Road Hillclimb at Eagle’s Nest will be July 31 - August 2. Registration is now open for this unique event!!

Register now at MyAutoEvents!

Workers - please register at MyAutoEvents as well. Just choose “Volunteer Woker” in the Category/Class drop-down. It’s the last one in the list.

Visit the Eagle’s Nest Hillclimb site more information!

We are limited to 50 cars/100 entries. We have to restrict paddock parking to a 25×25 foot area per competition car.  Enclosed trailers that will fit in this 25 foot square will be allowed. Open trailers will continue to park in the future hotel site. Spaces will be assigned as you pre-register.  Exception: Sponsors of the event.  The paddock area is also the helicopter landing zone. Crew, worker and guest cars will have to park in designated parking areas.  As parking for competitors, workers, officials, property owners and spectators is limited, please cooperate with all officials.  Competitors and workers/officials will be provided CCR parking stickers at Friday registration to identify your vehicles so they will not be delayed entering Eagle’s Nest. An SCCA official will be posted at the gate to assist with entry Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Wrist bands or other methods of identification will be issued during Friday registration for drivers, crew and workers. The I D’s will prevent you from having to pay to gain entry to the event.
