Are any Tarheeler's going down for the Cherry Point event this weekend, 5/19&20? Anders and I will be looking out for you.

We all had a great time at Cherry Point. There were 8 to 10 Tarheel folks there. Patrice, as usual taught them all how to drive in Competition Class. Steven Carter handily won STR on Sunday. NCR has a Competition class that is a PAX class similar to what we used to call Tire. Tarheel'ers held all of the top five positions except #3. On Sunday, the first car was off at 9:45 AM. We got 7 runs each each day.

Great event and smart decision to attend. $20 for seven runs at a site like MCASCP is a phenomenal value. I needed 10+ more if I was going to be competitive though, as I got raw timed by Andrew Pallotta in his CS Miata by TWO SECONDS and was generally taken to the woodshed by Maria, Patrice and other Street class cars...shows how far I still have to go to be decent at this sport.

Coming out of the wallom at over 80mph and taking the sweeper at the top of the course at 60+ is a new challenge for me--the car could handle it so I just need to learn to trust it more.

Looking forward to the Final Beatdown at Cary Towne Center!
