Great time had by everyone in my group!

I think the highlight was Mike McMenamin singing "My Ding a Ling" for us on Saturday night after the BBQ.

Bill Scarborough and crew did a great job. It was an awesome wrap up to the season.

Track surface still sucks. Bob S, PM me your address so I can give the requisite feedback for the track folks. I use more tires there than any two races anywhere else.

Had a great time in the instructed DE. Great instructor - very patient and knowledgeable. Gave me some new ideas for lines around 11,12,13.
The S2 wasn't ready so I had to borrow my son's M3. Stood out like the proverbial red-headed stepchild amongst all the nice Porsches in the group.

Great event, well worth the 16 hour tow. As stated before, Bill and all the event staff did an excellent job, thank you all.

I don't remember McMemamim singing, but that's the sign of a great party! (a Mo Hawk, come on!) I don't remember much of the 60's either. However, I also know I wasn't the oldest racer there. I can't say any more than what's already been said about the event. Great job Bill, and everyone else involved with running it. If you didn't make it this year, put in on the calender for next year, you won't be disappointed.

Great party it was! Really enjoyed the great wine from Adobe that Martin provided.

Did anybody else here headin west on I-20 get caught up in that monumental cluster*** about mile marker 21, Sunday afternoon? There were 2 944 racers on trailers right in front of me. Once we all got past the idiot who rolled his Grand Vitara and had traffic backed up for miles, you guys took off and left me!

I guess racers drive fast even when towing.

Had a blast seeing everyone this past weekend! Great racing with Mike. Down on power and finally lost a cylinder or something (waiting on diagnosis). But, can't take anything away from Mike...he is definitely a talent!

Great event! Thanks to all the Carolina region people that put together another fun weekend. Was hoping for better tire wear and grip. This would be one of the best races in the southeast if they repaved the track.

What a great event this was. Beautiful weather, terrific people and a very well run event. Thanks Carolina Region.

+1 on the track eating tires. A repave is in order.

Cory, thank you and Autometrics for your sponsorship and the nice trophies. You guys are a BiG plus to PCA Racing.

Yup..I second that. Expensive weekend for tires. But, excellent weekend, well put together and lots of track time.

Thank you everyone that came out for the race!! And we're happy everyone had a great time.
Regarding tire wear.. If you can help us out and contact the track directly and tell them your concerns, maybe we'll get some action. Tell them how much better it would be with new pavement.

Email is info@carolinamotorsportspark.com

Thanks!! And we do hope to see you all again next year...

+1 on the great event, kicking myself for chickening out on the race... But it was a great weekend, very well organized.

+1 also on the track, last two times I've been on track I've cracked a windshield.
