Tentative schedule (for me at least)
Friday June 27th :
Roebling's padddock open from 5:00 - 8:00pm for unloading trailers/cars etc.

Saturday June 28th:
Run with POC to an extent, but I will still be shuffeling(sp?) cars to the track for most of the day. Many of you will be using this as a travel day. Feel free to stop by.

Sunday June 29th:
Run with POC again. Some "Willis Racers" will be here at this point running also, and it is OK to just join POC's event on Sunday.

Monday June 30th:
Roebling Paddock available for trailer parking, etc.
This is going to be a bright , sunny day with a nice breeze. We are going to all hook up early afternoon on Hilton head Island and have a car show in my front yard, wearing shorts over our swimming suits and enjoying the cars while they still look good and run.
We will have a grill and smoker going as well as a "low country boil". There is a pool , a pond for TC,and a beautiful beach. This is the portion of the event where the different types of wax jobs can be discussed whilst sipping a cold one, and we can also have an informal driver's meeting to discuss who brought the best looking chick. It will be an early night for most as many will have a 45 minute drive back to the "track motel" of their choosing, or for those staying on Hilton Head, a 45 minute stumble home in the dark .
Tuesday July 1:
Meet at the track bright eyed and bushy tailed around 7:30. Course will go green at 8:30 after we go over the flagging system and safety concerns. There will be a "ducks in a row" lead/follow session during which the correct racing line will be observed. We will then run by group, and limited instruction will be available to those that request it. Rides will be given in some of the faster cars for those that wish to do so (at their own risk).
Several mechanics will be available to help with your car. If we did not see it at the beach day yesterday, we will look it over before you go out. rollbar, racing seat belts, etc. will be checked.Your cars level of preparation remains your responsibility, however, and you should do a thorough checkover before you bring it to the track. Brake pads, bearings, tires, fluid levels, etc.
Lunch is provided ( headcount appreciated) followed by an afternoon of the same running by group.
"Bench Racing and Budweiser" will begin when the last car is off the track.We only drink Bud and not till the last car is off the track for the day. There is a big grill at the track, and we are welcome to stay for a while and use it to cook whatever we want. We'll send somebody to Publix after putting in our orders.
Camping is allowed at the track and there are showers. Those staying on Hilton Head might stop off at Hudson's Seafood at the bridge to hilton Head on our way home, while those camping or staying near the track are on their own.
Wednesday July 2nd:
Repeat , however we may organize different groups (such as an all-Cobra session)and activities (such as drag racing up the front straight).Lunch is up to you, as some folks will have left and an accurate head count is tough. We will need to pack our stuff up as SCCA racers will begin showing up for their 4 day event . It may be possible to leave the trailers in an out of the way spot for those staying at the beach all week.

Thursday July 3rd:
Willis' Birthday and the reason I call this the Willis Race. I've been doing this track deal with my buddies for years , but 2 years ago Willis decided to steal the show and be born at 7:00 in the morning the day of the event .
I made it back to Atlanta in 2 hours and 37 minutes, beating Willis by 19 minutes.

Friday July 4th:
For those that have so far refused to leave, we will again be at the beach and you are welcome to join us.

That's about it. Remember, this is OUR event, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

I can hardly wait,
JW
