Cobrabitn Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Fellow Team Shelby Participants, I want to thank you for attending SCMC events in 2008 as it was a great year for our club and we look forward to having an even better year in 2009. Now that the Holidays are over and many of us are having withdrawals for some on track fun, I'd like to share with you our schedule for 2009. Carolina Motorsports Park -- March 14-15, 2009 -- Kershaw, SC We will start our 2009 event season with two days at Carolina Motorsports Park on March 14-15, 2009. CMP has modified its track to be less brake intensive and more high speed especially around turn 13 and a widened turn 14. The modifications have helped to lengthen the track to 2.27 miles. Virginia International Raceway -- May 29-31, 2009 & August 20-21, 2009 -- Danville, VA Last year's VIR event was so successful, we added another VIR event date this year. The first weekend is the club's Tenth Anniversary to be held on May 29-31, 2009 with a "full course" on Friday and "north course" on Saturday and Sunday. We will also be holding a car show on Saturday and an evening banquet just like we did this year, 2008. Be sure to invite your friends to come out to the show so they can do parade laps at lunch. This year's show had 52 participants and we hope to have well over 100 for 2009. As this being a special event for the SCMC, we will have some free raffle items to be given away at the banquet just like we did in 2008. A "special" commemorative coin for the event and more celebratory merchandise to be available for purchase. A big thanks to Team Shelby for coming out and supporting us. Our second VIR event will be on August 20-21, 2009 which is a Thursday and Friday. We will be running "full course" both days. That means two days of wide open fun at VIR full course and you'll still have a weekend for the family. New Jersey Motorsports Park (SVT Cobra/Shelby GT 500 Nationals) -- July 17-18, 2009 -- Millville, NJ We are also adding an event at the new facility of New Jersey Motorsports Park. The SCMC will have two full days on the new "Thunderbolt" course. We'll add in a show and shine with free parade laps to show participants. There's an event in just about every other month with the SCMC and we want you to be a part of our 2009 season just like you have in year's past.

Cobrabitn Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Can't wait, Tony. I'll see you at VIR and NJ Motorosports. Don't let that Carolina Motorsports Park scare you...the track is a lot of fun to run. It's not a VIR but it is very challenging. Either way, we'll see you soon! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobrabitn Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Just a friendly reminder about showing your car or taking it out on the track. You can even do one session if you just want to try it but I have to warn you that it is addictive, just ask Tucker!! More information in the first post! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckstang Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I really want to try the event this year at NJ Motorsport Park Who else will be there, is it good for a beginner? I feel like if I get all the way there just for show, then I will be punching myself later for not going on the track. I just want to make sure its a non competitive environment, anotherwords not swapping paint passing people. I'd like to learn my car and my own abilities better to make me a better driver on the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobrabitn Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Getting back on the VIR event... Mustang Enthusiast will be doing event coverage on this event so look for them taking photos for their publication. Parkway Ford becomes the "official Ford sponsor" for this event. :happy feet: More information to come out in the next week or so and if you really want to run at NJMP, why don't you try a "Hyperdrive" at VIR? One session in your car with an instructor for $60.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobrabitn Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thought you all would enjoy the fideo from last year's event. You can see the Team Shelby trailer in it. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/vir-scm...2008_176462.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No paint swapping. You won't be pushing to drive beyond your comfort level. You will be surpirsed how much you learn about yourself and your car.

WP64 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hey Tony, When was the last time there was a SVT driving event in Northern California?

We have 3 excellent tracks in NorCal and I can't remember the last time SVT put on a event here... Jay Jay, We have never put one on in Norcal because we do not have enough members over there. Hopefully, sometime in the future we can grow in CA and get some activity over there... T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
