NCCC Event Training, Practice Autocross & Funkhana - Saturday, March 24, 2007

EVENT FLYER

Our yearly event is just around the corner and to help ensure it will be a success, we are hosting an NCCC Event Training / Practice Autocross / Funkhana on Saturday, March 24 at Mineral Wells Airpark So come out and learn / see how timing works, how to inspect a car for a race, how work a corner, etc.  Also come out and learn how a Vette handles, regardless if you want to race or not - this is an opportunity to play in your Vette, in a safe environment.

This event is for EVERYONE so come out and have FUN.  If you haven't attended one of these... go to our web site, look on the left-hand side for PHOTO or the SITE INDEX.  The last few of our practice Autocrosses were held in:

July of 2003 (Mineral Wells)

April of 2004 (Pennington)

March & July of 2005 (Pennington)

March of 2006 (Pennington)

March of 2007 (Mineral Wells)

If you are unsure of how to drive a course, there are numerous CTV competitors which would be more than willing to assist and ride with you.  If you prefer, you can even start off by riding with an experienced NCCC competitor in their car.

There will be more information at our next monthly meeting and in the Low-Down or you can get a hold of me.

Thanks,

Doug McMahan

What to bring:

•  Closed toe shoes are required for all drivers and passengers

•  Helmets are required for all drivers and passengers - refer to your NCCC book or contact me if you have questions on your helmet.  You should be able to borrow one if you don't have one.  A legal helmet (Snell 2000/2005) start at around $80 at most motorcycle shops or check or check our website for other options.

•  FRS Radios if you have them

•  Sun Screen

•  Painters Tape / Contact Shelf Paper - some people like to mask off the edge of their wheel wells and rocker panels.  They do supposedly vacuum this facility but we have found that sometimes gravel does exist.  We will do our best to layout the course to avoid as much as possible.

•  Leaf Blower - these are handy if we do have an area with gravel, it can be blown off instead of having to sweep it off.

If you would like to stay in a hotel on Friday and/or Saturday night, rooms can be booked at the Best Western Clubhouse Inn and Suite located at 4410 Hwy 180 East in Mineral Wells.

The General Manager is Mr. Kiran Patel (if there are any questions) and the phone is 940-325-2270. As usual, notify them that you are with the Corvette group for the best rate, which is $79.95 for 1 or 2 beds. 

We have a couple of members that booked rooms and they provided the above rate - which is the same rate for the the NCCC events in MW this coming September

 


NOTE: for those of you that are participating in the Cowtown Cruiser Program (CCP) this year, there are a minimum of 6 CCP points available between FW and the Practice Autocross Location - contact me if you'd like more information.
