Hello from Charlotte. I've been to Smithfield several times. Kind of far from Charlotte. If you go the regional events section (Southeast), there is a Poker Run sponsored by Corvette Only out of Greenville, SC in April. You will see a posting with Poker Run in the title started by USMuscle. Lots of C3s from the Carolinas will be attending.

Regards,

Jim

Welcome to the forum. As Tom stated, there are a bunch of us (all generations) vetter owners here.

Welcome to the sharktank! A good opportunity to meet quite a few of us is the Raleigh Dyno day at the end of February which you can follow here on the southeast forum. That's just the beginning since we get together at least a few times a month as the weather improves for cruise-ins, trips to the drags, dynos, car shows, etc. Do you have a C3 or are you looking for one?

A buddy of mine is rebuilding his 79. He lives near Charlotte and has a web site with pics of his car coming along. Site also has too many banner ads

I grew up in NC (graduated HS etc) but since then I have lived out of state. I have been trying to get back ever since. I may have my chance to live there at least for a while. I lost my job (lay-offs) last month and just sold my house here in Texas so I may "come home" to stay a while. My parents have rental property in Emerald Isle and my wife, two year old son and I will probally move there for a while unless a job comes up in the next few weeks. We close on our house Feb. 22nd. If I get a permament job in NC then I'll will be part of the C3 family in the greatest state in the good old USA.

blackLS1 - Send RLH (Rob) above an email. He may have or know of a C3 that fits what you are looking for.

theandies - What part of NC are you originally from? What type of job are you looking for? Someone here (not me) may be able to help you if they know what you are looking for. Good luck!

I grew up in Fayetteville but graduated from Apex HS in Apex outside of Cary. Any job in electronics is fine with me. I was in the semiconductor equipment service business working for Lam Research as a Field Service Engineer but with my background I think I can step into any type of electronic field. I also hold an Airframe and Powerplant Certificate and worked on aircraft for 10 years before I got into electronics. Anyone with any contacts please feel free to e-mail me........and thanks.
