Triangle Chapter Report - June 2013

Submitted by racestarter on June 10, 2013

Our June meeting of the Triangle Chapter was held at the usual location, the El Rodeo restaurant on Pleasant Valley in the Townridge Shopping Center, home of some of the finest Mexican cuisine around.  But they had remodeled the upstairs bar area over the past few months (I think it debuted for Cinco de Mayo) and we got to meet there this time, rather than being crammed into the tiny, and partially open, room at the back.  The new décor is very impressive, with pub tables and an enclosed bar featuring several overhead flat screen TVs, and there were a couple more strategically placed around the room.  That made it easier for Justin Deffenbaugh to hook up his computer to one and show us his latest racing video, compiled from footage he shot at the SARRC/MARRS event at VIR in early May.  Perhaps this is the start of a new era for us -- no more standing on tables trying to reach behind a big screen TV to hook up a video cable to a connector you can’t see.  It was like Christmas in June!

Article about Eric Danielsen in "Play by Play" Magazine

Submitted by racestarter on May 06, 2013

Walker Nelms has written an article about Eric Danielsen, one of NCR's Flag Chiefs, for Play-By-Play Magazine, a free Roanoke sports magazine that is widely distributed in that area (Kroger, CVS, YMCA etc.)

Walker is hopeful that it will create some interest in the Roanoke area and maybe help to pick up some new flaggers for NCR!  You can view it online at playbyplayonline.net   The article is on page 7.

Thanks Walker!

Triangle Chapter Report - May 2013

Submitted by racestarter on May 04, 2013

The May Triangle Chapter meeting was very well-attended.  In fact, we had so many attendees it was standing-room only and many of the members were wishing we were back upstairs in the bigger bar area.  But we got everybody seated and then we all enjoyed a video on the big screen.  It was the view from inside the #11 IT7 car of Steve Rose, pounding his way from 5th to 3rd in IT7, at the Jim Stark Memorial Double SARRC at Roebling Road last weekend. It was even more enjoyable for the viewers because Justin Deffenbaugh, who had crewed for Steve, had edited video before he brought it and added some choice commentary to the action on camera.  You can see it on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZarBQlTDbfQ&feature=share.  Thanks, Justin!  Well done, Steve!

We would like to give a big thank you to everyone who came out for the Oak Tree Double National. We had a couple of long days, but they were filled with some great racing. Except for a little bit of weather on Friday afternoon, it was a fantastic weekend. Thank you all for coming out to join us and help make it a great weekend.

I'd like to thank our Race Chair, Sara Snider, for hijacking the shrimp boat on her way to the track. Yet another tasty treat!

Now, on to the next race! Quickly approaching is the SARRC/MARRS Challenge, May 11 & 12 at VIR. This is a Double Regional with 2 Regions, so I guess that makes it a quadruple. That's a lot of racing to pack into two days and you don't want to miss it. If you have any turn requests, just add them to the remarks when you register.

Thank You NCR!

Sara,

On behalf of the Majors Team, I’d like to thank the North Carolina Region for hosting rounds five and six of the Eastern Conference of the U.S. Majors Tour.  The event delivered above our expectations, largely due to the efforts of the North Carolina Region personnel and I want you to know how much it was appreciated.

I want to thank you for all your pre-event work which made my arrival at VIR go so smoothly as well as all your support during the weekend.  I also want to thank you for recruiting Sandy Sisk to help me at Victory Circle.  She is a natural and was a huge help.  I really enjoyed meeting her and spending the weekend with her.   Having Patty and Dawn take the iPad Mini around to get folks to do the survey was great.
