Our last trip to Laurinburg for this year should make your cheeks hurt from
all that grinning... Give two Corvette guys a mile of concrete
to play on and there's no telling what will happen! But whatever
it is, it should be fun. Sure sounds like "Double Trouble"
to me. The Burger Team of Brenda and Christine will return
to serve up wonderful yummies during lunch. We'll be using
the standard schedule and the Golden Knight's entrance on
Sunday.
Just a few notes, especially for novices and non-club members that
aren't familiar with our way of doing things. By the way, if you are an
experienced club member that has invited a friend or family... please
forward this information to them and educate them on how to behave at an
autocross site. We expect spectators to behave themselves too.
- The site is in the middle of nowhere. Get all your gas, snacks, water,
air, etc. well before you get to the site.
- It is best if you get there early and plan to stay there until the
event is over.
- ABSOLUTELY NO DRAG RACING, tire warming, brake testing or fast driving
ANYWHERE on the site.
- No smokey burnouts or donuts are allowed on the course or anywhere
else for that matter.
- Reckless driving or dangerous behavior will get you EJECTED from this
event and you will be told to NOT come back.
- Pit speed is 5 mph or roughly walking speed. Lots of kids, dogs,
people and so forth are very close to you. Be careful!
- Speed limit everywhere else on site is 35 mph.
- Please, please, clean up your trash, and even that of your neighbor.
- If you brought it with you, you can take it back with you. Take your
trash home with you and do not leave it on site.
- ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED ON SITE.
- No overnight camping will be allowed on site.
- ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLORING ON SITE!! STAY IN THE DESIGNATED AREAS!
(This is important. Armed security guards patrol this facility. You
don't want to be caught snooping around an active airport!
Doing so would get you in big trouble, and probably cause us to lose
access to the site. Please behave yourself.)
Novices should read up on autocrossing before the event. Go to

continuing through Hoke County into Scotland County. Follow
15 South all the way to 74 Bypass in Laurinburg.
