Carolinas is a great region, you will enjoy it. Hurricane Region over in Raleigh is also great. We just hosted a DE at Rockingham and have another planned for the spring. Our Barbeque Runs are famous - next one is Raleigh to Reidsville on Nov 26th.

Welcome to the neighborhood. I used to live in Piper Glen in south Charlotte but have recently moved farther south to Waxhaw, NC. I'm a country boy at heart.

Gene -
I'm sure that Carolinas has a full slate of events, but over here in Hurricane Region we have a few autocrosses ,DE's, and other fun stuff in your direction. We just set the spring calendar in a executive board meeting today:
Feb 25 and March 25 autocrosses at Maxton airport (huge WWII era base south of Ft. Bragg) - or at Sanford Community College
April 21-23 We are going to do a group tour and hospitality tent at the VIR Grand Am Rolex race (I foolishly volunteered to run this - will no doubt be a complete disaster)
May 12-14 Driver's Ed at Rockingham Motor Speedway
May 20-21 Winery Tour - not sure exact locations but all of the wineries are centered on the Yadkin Valley north of you.
Full details will be up on the Hurricane Region website in January some time. Hope you can make it out!

Hi Gene,
Just running through some old strings and I see that you have recently settled in the Weddington area. I live at The Divide in Matthews (just minutes away). I recently purchased a 968, '92 Polar arctic Silver with Tip (had it shipped across country) and am really enjoying it.
Hope to see you around town.

Why don't we plan a Charlotte-area meet. I live in Waxhaw and drive through Matthews daily to and from work.
