Carolina Motorsports Park- Open Track Event March 15-16, 2003 - Page 7

The southern folk don't know much about "real" winters, unless their from the north. 1 to 3 inches isn't enough to cancel anything up here, but when you have no snow removal equipment, that's a different story.

8 degrees tomorrow huh...we're having a heat wave, it's gonna be a whole 11 degrees here tomorrow!!

I here it might get into the 40's next week...I'm gonna have to break out the shorts!!

SIUNARA-I live in Boone, NC (elevation 3,500ft) and they still call off school all the time. I guess the reason they cancel school all the time is because of the small mountainous roads that people will have to travel.

However, Appalachian State has on cancelled class 5, maybe 6 times in its history! Soooo, that means I have class tomorrow, our high is only 14, not too far off PA!

Take it easy, enjoy the heatwave and break out the Hawaiian shirts and flops.

He has an '01 Cobra and I met him on Patton Ave one night here in Asheville. He also manages a performance shop in Winston-Salem and is a distributor of some automotive addative product which I can't remember the name of right now. He and I talked today and I gave him your email address and Tony's new phone number!! So hopefully he'll contact one of you about being a vendor and joining the club!

I know what you mean...I grew up in Cleveland, OH and school never closed! But here in Asheville they are very well prepared for snow and the roads are very curvy and hilly!! Makes for alot of fun when they get snow on them... and then mix in people who don't know how to drive on snow and watch the FUN BEGIN!

Being the Texas boy that I am, I think I'm allergic to snow.

I'll be a spectator today from my couch, especially since the little news clips show a nice convertible mustang doing a mini autocross and a couple of 180s in the middle of an intersection just a few blocks from my house.

===============

our daughter did that same thing last winter with her GT --

needless to say, the GT is in storage for this winter!!

She got a little cocky and found out what it was like to do some spins right thru a major intersection ... cop sitting right there ofcourse.....

she got a ticket and she deserved it... going too fast for conditions....

I'd say she's learned allot since then ... actually, she takes after me, only, I didn't get caught. It was with a 70 Mach I on black ice and fortunately no one was around to notice my disaster .....

I even ended up in someones back yard --

I learned my lesson fast !!

98BlueVert · 01-23-2003, 03:28 PM

SIUNARA · 01-23-2003, 04:06 PM

Ok, I take back my earlier statements...my friend (rshelbygt) e-mailed me today and Charlotte got 8" of snow today. WOW!!

Tony -

Tim and I have enough mileage to get free tickets - -

we might fly down there and come watch for a few hours...

that is our 25th wedding anniversary and we were thinking about going down to the coast in NC --

we could rent a car and bee cheerleaders...

any suggestions on a nice place to stay down there?
