Chili and Moonshine Run @ Walmart parking lot
Feb 8 @ 1:00 pm

Johnston County Moonshine Run

If your TR is not running drive your everyday car

If you can’t do the drive meet at the Broadslab Distillery 4834 State Hwy 50 S, Benson NC at 3:00

There is a $12.00 fee for the tour and tasting at the Distillery


After the distillery we will meet about 5:00 PM MarJean and Terry Telke’s 267 Ocean Dr Clayton NC for our traditional Chili. Please Bring an appetizer or desert and your beverage.

This event is inspired by Percy Flowers the moonshine king. He operated an illegal liquor production facility on his 5,000-acre (20 km2) farm in Johnston County, North Carolina during the 1950s and 1960s. He is reputed to have earned $1million per year in untaxed revenue through this endeavor.[2] Flowers was indicted ten times by federal grand juries, and eighteen times at the state and local level. He was variously charged with bootlegging, reckless driving, illegal purchase of a firearm and tax evasion[2] but “rarely spent anytime in jail.”[3] Flowers was known as “king of the moonshiners.” As a result of his open disregard for the laws governing alcohol production and consumption along with his “lavish” donations to his church and those in need, he was seen by some as a Robin Hood-like folk hero.[3]

Springfield Distillery run! @ Silver Spoon Diner
Feb 22 @ 10:00 am
Springfield Distillery run! @ Silver Spoon Diner | Durham | North Carolina | United States

New member Kevin Harper has invited us on a European Car Tour on February 22 along with some Alfa Romeos, Lancias and Lotuses! Kevin says:
We will be going to Springfield Distillery in Halifax, Virginia!

Date – Feb 22nd and given that it is February and the weather can be iffy so the alternate is Feb 29th. Start time is at 10 AM. Start place is Silver Spoon Diner 5230 North Roxboro Rd., Durham, NC 27712. Arrive early for a impromptu cars and coffee and breakfast. We will then take about a 2 hour scenic drive to the Springfield Distillery, and take a tour. Afterwards we will take about a 1.5 hour drive and stop in Roxboro for lunch. The lunch place has not been decided and I am open to suggestions. Following lunch we will continue the drive and I have a surprise stop planned for the Hillsborough area that has nothing to do with cars, food or alcohol but I think will be enjoyable.  And finally we will make a short drive to Mystic distillery to relax and talk about the day’s events. Please RSVP to Kevin by Feb 15th so he can make sure on lunch and dinner numbers. Kevin (KevinHarper1@gmail.com)
