VIR Spring Sprints – April 18th – 20th, 2014
SPRING HAS ARRIVED!
The long cold winter is finally over and spring is here! What better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than a trip to VIR for the Spring Sprints. Three wonderful days of The Majors. National races that are always a thrill. If you’ve not signed up to work yet, go immediately to MotorSportReg.com and register now.
As always, we are really in need of workers for Friday, so if you can make it, we would really appreciate it.
Read MoreTriangle Chapter Report – April 2014
The April meeting of the Triangle Chapter went off in fine style, despite the turn-out being a bit low for this time of year. Maybe it was Spring fever or perhaps folks are getting ready for the upcoming Majors event in two weeks. In any case, we had in-car video provided by Chuck Hines of his recent outing at CMP in Kershaw in the rain, where he finished 5th in ITS both days, driving his Miata. Yes, that’s the same Chuck Hines who just got his racing license back. He wasted no time getting back in the fray chasing those SARRC points. And yes, he drove a Miata in ITS. Seems you can race Mazda’s little roadster in that class too if you have a mind to. That must be irritating to the Camaro and Porsche boys who’ve taken to sporting the “Zoom Zoom my A**” stickers at the track lately. Well, they are about to be more irritated I think. According to Grassroots Motorsports, NASA has just certified a sports racer based on Gen 1 and Gen 2 Miata mechanicals. Can SCCA be far behind? Only time will tell. And I think Chuck will also improve his position as he spends more time on track. Thanks for sharing, big guy!
