SPECIAL SWCCCR Meeting - July 14th!

[tedebayer]

SPECIAL MEETING? What's special about this one?

Glad you asked! I've got THREE reasons!

The SouthWest Chapter of Central Carolinas Region will hold it's next meeting on Thursday, July 14th at Quaker Steak & Lube on Chrome Drive (just off Woodreuff Road next to Harley Davidson Dealer).

Reason #1. For this meeting we will start in the parking lot from 6 to 6:45 for the FIRST ANNUAL SWCCCR CAR SHOW! THIS is not a concours... we don't care if you have the original manual and lug nuts nor will your buffing skills win you a trophy! Bring your Daily Driver, vintage car, race car, whatever you have as it is and park in our SWCCCR VIP parking area for judging. Some unusual prizes will be awarded at the end of the meeting... some of these MAY include :
1. Least likely to make it home without road side repairs.
2. Best target for birds with appropriate evidence.
3. Worst Gas Mileage (the "CARBON FOOTPRINT" award).
4. Street Legal car with the Least Tire Tread.
5. The coveted "LCPL" award - Loudest Car in the Parking Lot.

Reason #2. Our speaker for this evening will be talking about a topic many of our attendees requested. Ron Wilcox will be making a presentation on Fiberglass Fabrication and Repairs. Ron has a good deal of experience working with glass from fender flares to entire car bodies from molds. HE did a GREAT job on my Jedi getting it ready for the Dragon Hillclimb. TJ, Ron and I met at Ron's shop last week and laid up a number of types of fiberglass cloth for hand out samples for this SWCCCR meeting. The pictures I took will be shown on the screen, step by step, and Ron will talk us through the process at our meeting. You will be amazed how easy it is and Ron does a great job of explaining detail, materials and process. He will also have handouts on sources, steps and tips.

Reason #3? Well, that's easy. YOU will be there!

We look forward to some fun, looking at each other's cars and learning some skills with a great bunch of car people! I will be advertising this event in Greenville News and other publications. I do ask one favor... take a moment to invite a friend or pass the meeting info on to other car club forums in the area. Seeing new faces and more people joining makes this worthwhile for all of us.

There's a WHOLE lot of sports car people in Western NC and the Upstate of SC that have no idea we even exist. LET'S CHANGE THAT ... and this meeting is a GREAT place to start them off !

THANKS for your part in making SWCCCR fun!
Ted and Scott

Now I wish I hadn't sold the truck...I could have competed for #3, #5, and, if you gave me about 2 minutes to do a quick burnout (on a closed/private road of course), #4.

[tedebayer]

Only one winner per category... and Dagmar's (my wife) white Volvo Station wagon is looking really good for...dare I say it.... yes...Number #2.

;DI think I can compete for 3 and 5 with the twin if I run the Speedvision exhaust.

[tedebayer]

Uhmmmm... this is starting to get wild!
I'm bringing the Hillclimb car.
Vicki may bring the RX7 with new paint job.
Then, I have one guy called with a race car we have not seen. He's bringing it...
Now, Wade (one of our EARLIEST SWCCCR charter members) called and he's bringing his asphalt oval car and a drag car!

Maybe we can get Henry to bring his Blakely Bearcat!

This may be QUITE A SHOW!

I'm going for both #3 and #5. My F500 car has a two-stroke engine that uses fuel quickly; since two-strokes send much of it (unburned HCs) back out the very loud exhaust.

If I ever tried to drive it home, I would also be a shoe-in for #1.

Looking forward to the car show and meeting!

Please come on out and bring a friend... Quaker Steak & Lube has had us on their advertisements and calendar. We should have a good group coming to look!

Thanks again for participating and we'll look forward to seeing you there.

Oh... normally, we provide a "Family Environment" at our meetings. BUT just for the car show, IF you would like to have a picture of you taken with a car model in your lap, I will be bringing this one :

I'll be there...and you're making it too easy for me.

1 - MR2 turbo...need I say more?
2 - May not get this one but I get a fair share throughout the week so who knows.
3 - Running WAY rich...you almost pass out because of the gas smell. But still no muscle car so who knows.
4 - Ok, not cheeter slicks or anything but my front tires are down to cord...does that count?
5 - Running off an open downpipe. She's pretty loud these days.

The only way it could get easier is if there were an award for leaking the most oil in the parking space and not having a radio installed...lol

[philip1]

It is settled I will be attending.

Brandon - You should get Grand Prize for making it to the event!

Phillip - Awesome... glad to have you coming! Thanks!
