Right you are Scott...and we have a GREAT one for Jun and for July!!!

We took a month off due to so many activities and conflicts on April Thursdays but ….. we are back and ready!!!! I hope you have missed getting together with some sports car friends and will come to our meeting … and bring a friend!

Our meeting will be next Thursday MAY 15th at RYAN’s on Laurens Road in Greenville, SC. Since we are headed in to Hillclimbing season with Wolf’s Ridge, Eagle’s Nest and Crow Mountain in the coming months, we have asked John Finger to come speak to us…. both on his experiences running hillclimbs as well as a “101 introductory course” on lines and preparation for tackling a mountain in a Time Trial. John has an outstanding career in racing and is one of the “Sweet 16” winners of the Chimney Rock Hillclimb. We will be showing some videos from in car cameras for Wolf Ridge, Eagle’s Nest and some from John at the Rock . This will be a meeting you don't want to miss . Mark your calendars now. We’ll start eating at 6:00 and start the meeting at 7:00 try to wrap up around 8:00. If you are interested in Course working for ANY of the upcoming hillclimbs, please email me!!!! It really is the 2nd best seat in the house…. Food and accommodations are free!

BIG NEWS! The July meeting will be held at the Timken ICAR center! Ron Wilcox will work with us on getting a tour of the facilities and he will be our speaker on Sound Control. Ron ran Sound Trap for many years at Lime Rock before moving down this way. He has promised to give attendees 5 ways to beat the Sound Trap. Road racers…you really don't want to miss this!!!!!

Also, if you have any items for sale or trade please bring the info to the meeting. We'll try to set some time aside to let anyone with trade or sale items to present them. This is another opportunity for networking that SWCCCR brings to the table to add to the value our meetings. It’s new year…go look around your garage, get rid of some junk and get some money! Someone else will see that junk as TREASURE!!!

Again, thank you for your support of the South West Chapter of Central Carolinas Region!!! Any ideas on improvements to meetings or potential sites for autocrosses for 2008 in our area, please contact me. This would include the area between Greenville and Columbia, Greenville and Charlotte and up into Western North Carolina as well. If you would like to add a friend to our mail out list, please send me their name and contact info. Please encourage them to attend a meeting so they can see what we’re all about. Just forward this email on to them… we would like to get more people attending meetings!
