At the latest club meeting we discussed a special meeting on safety issues. I've begun organizing a seminar to be held June 20th at Glenn Long's shop in North Raleigh. Long Road Racing will be our host and cover car prep with a chassis they have decommissioned. The short timeline is because the car is being sent to IMSA for testing.

Also invited are Kerrigan Smith from VIR to discuss track safety. And SCCA is working to find us a representative to discuss crash and burn safety and what is expected of a driver involved in a shunt.

Watch this space for information in the coming days and official meeting time (likely 6-6:30)

I'd like to estimate head count so post below if you are interested.

Kerrigan from VIR called me today and is a go. I'll update with the meetings official time hopefully later today. This will be a great opportunity.

6 PM is our official start time!

Bring a friend and phone a friend because this is short notice and we need to get the word out.

I'll get a facebonker event up tonight for that crowd. Can we do something on MSR?

Thanks for organizing this. I can't make it, but I'm referring a few friends and strongly urging them to go.

Probably an hour and a half. We'll do a q&a at the end.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

I have a humble request.

Can we get this session recorded on video? Anyone have a setup they could bring that would deliver higher-than-cellphone quality?

I would like to be there but also cannot make it. Thanks Rob for setting this up.

I had a request to film it from someone else as well Mike. I do not have a Camera. If someone has something and would be willing to film we could probably work it out.

I have a video camera and a tripod that I can set up as long as the organizers don't mind. Let me know if that will work.
