Default 49 autocrosses! Do you like to DRIVE your Corvette?

Starting in Sanford, NC on Memorial weekend with 21 (7 each day), then 14 (yes 7 per day), in Shelby, NC the next weekend, and then 14 in Greenville, SC on June 17 & 18 (7 each day). Can you handle it? Bring your KUMHO's and whatever.....

Go to CRNCCC.COM for info and registration. Lotsa fun in your Corvette!

Later, on Labor Day weekend - HIGH SPEED - at CMP! Get your flyer for that too, at CRNCCCC.COM.

Don't want to scare you off, but The RatpackMotorsports (RPM) hot shoes have already signed up for all 49......AND CMP!!!

VMS4EVER,

Per the book:

A) Must have competed in 10 low speed events or low speed time trials within the preceding 18 months, over a minimum of three weekends.

B) Proof of completion of a recognized performance driving school within the preceding 18 months, in lieu of the ten autocrosses.

C) Must be a member in good standing of NCCC. Proof to be provided to the Regional Competition Director of the Region you belong to. Proof does not have to be NCCC events only.

D) The High Speed certificate shall be valid for three years.

Hope this helps you.

Need more help, let me know.

Most cases require plans, however there are cases of accidentally beating someone....there is hope! Always.

Hey,

The 49 aren't all in one weekend.

You can come to the 14 in Shelby, NC weekend after Sanford, and/or the next 14 the weekend of the 17th & 18th of JUne in Greenville, SC!
Mot of the samepeople will be there, and hey, we need new drivers...

Thanks C5R.

I have 4yrs of autox with at least 10 events/year. I took this year off autox and am doing HPDE. I'm hoping to have 10 DE events by the end of the year if I don't go broke doing it My NCCC membership expired and I haven't bothered to renew it. But I might now.

I was going to do Sanford with Mike and the gang on Memorial weekend since it is right down the road. But decided to go down to Roebling instead. My interest in autox has hit a new low. I went to the last one and just watched... That's sad...

Come on down Danny!! We have been seeing a bunch of TireTown people in the Carolinas this year. Sometimes the good ole southern boys give 'em a good whoopin & sometimes we take one.
If nothing else you could beat Pancho in his own car.

Default Pylons and cones

Hey,

We only have a few, so imagine what we will do with all that runway!

Hope you have the right gearing. Might want to have some driving gloves to cover up those "white knuckles"...

Y'all come,

C5R

You boys have fun at Sanford. Watch out for some of the new surface areas. They sealed some parts to help hold it together. That area has a little bit less traction than it had last year. Down the end of the main runway. It got scuffed up some a few weekends back with 150 cars. But most are Miatas so they don't exactly pound the pavement
