I was lead to believe this, personally I have never met/heard of the guy but I am sure it will be good. FWIW the course designer is Heyward Wagner.

Ok if Heyward is designing the course than we are good. How have you never heard of the legendary Heyward Wagner? :wink:

O'Maley will be helping with the course too. And, yes, it should be a very good course between those two.

I had just about decided not to go until this latest news. May have to think about it more. I've enjoyed some Heyward courses.

So it looks like there will be no registration on site and the cutoff is Thursday evening, just for those that are waiting to register.

BTW, 14 in STR so far. That's going to be fun to watch. :thumbsup:

Ditto for the forgotten class John. G Stock. :roll:

Either way, it's gonna be pretty awesome and I hope this week doesn't drag by too slow. Are most of y'all going to do tech at the hotel Friday night?

I'm really starting to like the idea of this late start Sunday business due to the sound restrictions: :beerbuds:
Sunday 10/2
10:00 am: Course open for walking
10:00 – 11:00 am: Registration & Tech for Sun. only drivers
11:00 am: Driver’s Meeting
12:00 pm: First Car Off

That's the plan for Jeremy and I. We ran an NCR event today. 5 runs, three in the dry. Jeremy got his grove back and beat me and took FTD of the day and 2nd in PAX today :shock:

I will take my 2nd in class, 3rd fastest overall to the house and be happy :lol: 8)


PS, for the heck of it we ran in SSM today.

I thought our club annual tech was sufficient for NCAC...what did I miss?
Still need to register, probably will do it to tonight. Nice to see an STX car in Tire class {facepalm}... I'm sure it's just an oversight, though.
