North Carolina Region Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner 2012
The NCR Annual meeting and awards dinner was held Saturday, January 5th, at Caffé Luna in Raleigh. Over a hundred members attended and the festivities were in high gear. The food was out of this world! The buffet featured something for every one, from fresh fruit and cheese, through chilled salmon and shrimp cocktail, sliced ham, grilled sausage, steak, chicken, four kinds of pasta, asparagus and other veggies, and of course, salad. If you left hungry, it was your own fault! All drinks including beer and wines were included in the meal and that kept the conversation going until we went through the buffet line table-by-table. Many thanks to Bibi Tucker for setting all this up!

Give Thanks … After I joined SCCA I went to the Region’s annual banquet in Danville VA. I remember looking through the crowd and only recognizing a few F&C faces. As the banquet progressed, everyone was clapping and laughing as the winners of this award and that award were presented. I had a blast but didn’t know any of the folks who won the awards. Several years later I managed to attend the Run-Offs at Mid-Ohio as a Steward-in-Training. I can still recall the SCCA Worker-of-the-Year ceremony held outdoors in the biggest tent. I remember all the worker-whites and patches from here to California. At the ceremony, they presented the Worker-of-the-Year with a trip to the 24 Hour of LeMans. Wow! Having been to LeMans back in the ‘SilkCutJag’ mid-80s I couldn’t think of a nicer experience for any worker. Check out these videos from the 13 Hour “Charge of the Headlight Brigade… First is this video of Pam Thompson splitting the grid that Eric Danielsen posted on You Tube, Justin Deffenbaugh posted this time lapsed video of the pits at the 13 Hour Also, here’s a link to some pics that Pete Romanowski sent.

The Region’s Thirteen-hour Tailgate Party and Cooking Contest was an unqualified success! There were participants from all over – New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Texas, and even the Netherlands! Yes, our party at VIR was a must-attend stopover on the international scene. And the food was fabulous! I was on Station 17 all day with RE Rex Deffenbaugh and various volunteers from the racing teams. Racing Teams? Oh yeah, I need to mention the “Charge of the Headlight Brigade” enduro we had as entertainment. That made this the best tailgate party ever! |
