Re: Convention Information Available Now Online!

Unfortunately our insurance does and will not cover any competition event

Dick - does this mean that we can NEVER use the Charlotte drag strip, even at the Charpter level?

NCRS or their chapter's cannot sanction a competition event due to the clauses in our master insurance policy. We have a very reasonable rate today, but if we were to sanction, or have a competition event in conjunction with one of our events, the rates would "go thru the roof" compared to what we are presently paying.

If a member wants to compete in an event, outside of anything NCRS is doing, then they can do so.

There will be a small event on the other side of the drag strip Thursday night. No access from our side to the event or vice versa.

Is this the event you are aware of? This is scheduled for Wednesday, gates open at 3pm, racing 5pm to 9pm. I might actually participate if it is still going on. For $20 it's a bargain. (I thought I already replied to this thread but somehow this thread got branched out in several directions.)

Mark,
Depending on what your car is registered for at the National -- you may not be able to take it off the judging field. You may want to check with Reba to be sure you are OK leaving the judging field before you register for the drag race. This is definitely a situation where you want to ask permission. Begging forgiveness will not work.

Will display cars and Sportsman Class be under the bleachers too, or out in the open? Thanks

Display cars will either be under roof in the pavillion or under the bleachers.

Re: Convention Information Available Now Online!

hey all ..

I am thinking of using a car carrier to get my car there.
We will only have about an hour or so on Saturday to remove the cars (based on what I have read).

Can I have the carrier arrive Sunday 7AM early and keep my car locked up on the show field overnite Saturday?

[Dick W.]

Re: Convention Information Available Now Online!

Security will be in force Saturday night. All vehicles need to be removed early Sunday

Re: Convention

The NASCAR Hall of Fame and Museum opened yesterday (May 11). I know many of you have registered for the tour of it during the convention. Go to thatsracing.com for a slide show of the opening, comments by drivers, and coverage by The Charlotte Observer.
