Paul, Wolfgang, and I have organized an event for driving on the full track at VIR. Our British Invasion. This is scheduled for Wednesday, April 21, 2021 with a rain date of Thursday, April 22, 2021. I am sending this invitation to ALL REGIONS of the TCOC. I am required by VIR to send them an accurate number and the names of all those who will attend, no later than April 18. Therefore, if you plan to attend, please respond directly to my personal email of bobsuchy@bellsouth.net. In addition please advise me no later than April 8th if you want to purchase a Grilled Chicken box lunch from VIR for $21 cash each. Please do not reply to the All Regions mail list.
I have attached a PDF file of VIR Waivers that VIR requires that each of us going on the track must read and sign, and in addition the Liability waiver must also be signed by a witness. Please print a copy of both waivers and have them signed and dated and ready to hand in at the VIR entrance gate, where they will be verified by the list of names I sent to VIR. The waivers are required for both drivers and passengers. You will not be allowed to enter VIR without these waivers. Write in “VIR Club” at the top of the waivers in the field titled “Description and Location of Scheduled Event(s)”.
We will follow Social Distancing and Face Mask guidelines during this event.
Here is the timing of the event:
1) For Raleigh area members we will meet at 9:00am at Wolfgang Hustedt’s house at 10805 The Olde Place, Raleigh, NC 27614, We will leave Wolfgang’s house at 9:15 for a backroads drive to VIR arriving at the VIR Skid Pad at 10:30am.

4) All drivers must attend the Parade Lap Drivers Briefing at 11:30-11:45am.
5) Parade Laps 12:00-12:20pm. Paul Morro will lead the group onto the track. This is not a high speed event, however, for the courtesy of the other drivers, we request that slower drivers queue up at the end of the line.
6) Lunch after the Parade Laps. For those who requested the Box Lunches, they may be purchased for $21 cash at the Pavillion. You are welcome to bring your own packed lunch and drinks. After the Parade Laps we will drive back to the Skid Pad and eat our lunches in the Pavillion from which we can watch the racers on the track. After lunch we will have an informal car show and tyre kicking event at the Skid Pad. Door prize drawings to be held after lunch.
7) When ready, Raleigh area members will convoy back to Raleigh, led by Wolfgang.
Note: Depending on the response to this invitation we may have to limit the numbers of cars allowed on the track. So it is important to notify me as soon as possible if you will be attending.

FREE TR3 and TR4 Parts
When: Saturday, March 9 at 1200
Where: 7936 Grenezay Road, Wilmington, NC 28411
Eastern Region member John Moore has decided to clear out his treasure trove of TR3 and TR4 parts and will give them away to anyone who will come and get them.
Included in this stash is a TR4 frame, body panels, hoods, trunks, doors, steering, etc. Some tools are included as well.
80% of the parts are used but about 20% are new.
The one condition is that everything must go.
To make this fair, we will have a Le Mans start. Do not show up early that day thinking you can cherry pick. We will begin at 1200 sharp and this will give everyone an equal chance to take home something they can use.
