Submitted by racestarter on December 12, 2011

RALEIGH, NC – (NCR-SCCA) – The last Triangle Chapter meeting of the year was held at El Rodeo in the Townridge Shopping Center in Raleigh on Wednesday, December 7th.  It was well-attended as we filled the upstairs room almost to capacity, to eat, drink, chat, and watch in-car video of Tom Long in the Freedom Autosport Miata at the Grand-Am race at Mid-Ohio in September.  They delivered their 4th Grand Am Street Tuner title to Mazda this year. And you can view a great father-and-son video here, http://www.grand-am.com/teams/team.cfm?series=k&tid=1642, wherein Glenn talks about getting started in racing with the SCCA and continuing with his son in a professional series.  Unfortunately, there was a problem getting the DVD player to pass the sound through to El Rodeo’s big-screen TV, but we still saw plenty of passing by the number 25 car, even if it was silent.

Carolina Collector Car Fest

Submitted by ncrscca on November 16, 2011

RALEIGH, NC (NCR-SCCA) - The North Carolina Region was well-represented at the Carolina Collector Car Fest held in Raleigh at the State Fairgrounds over the weekend of November 11 – 13, 2011. Two members, Sam Fouse and Boz Marchi, graciously volunteered to display their cars, fresh from 1st place wins at the Goblins Go. Sam’s meticulously-prepared MX-3 was the hit of gear heads from all over, who marveled at the Dennis Shaw-built motor and the superb fabrication by Dan Robeson, both Triangle Chapter members. Boz Marchi’s lovely blue F500 attracted show-goers of all ages, quite literally from age five to seventy-five. The older gentleman even took notes. We may just see him at a future event!
