As some of you know, I hosted, and missed, an open track event last 3rd of July at Roebling Road roadrace course in Savannah Ga. My wife called me at 3:00 a.m. the morning of the race and said "come home now, we are having the baby 2 weeks early". I made it to Atlanta in 2 hours 40 minutes and beat Willis' arrival by 19 minutes, running out of gas in the hospital parking lot.
This year we are having the "Willis Woerheide Wonhundred" on July 3rd, 2002, at Roebling Road, followed by a 4th of July BBQ and CAR SHOW on Hilton Head Island, SC.
While I do understand that most of you guys do not want to race your cars, there will be plenty of track time available for those that want to experience the thrill of track driving, and for holders of competition credentials, there is the 100 kilometer race for the "Willis Cup", following qualifying sprint races for grid position.
I will structure this event depending on how much interest I get from this group. The racing and track time portions will be run by World Championship Auto Racing Series (
www.worldcarz.com ), but it is really just a fun casual excuse to get out on the track.
The paddock at Roebling Road (
www.RoeblingRoad.com)is a beautiful place to get together whether or not you want to run your car. There is a Holiday Inn on Hilton Head Island within a good burnout or 2 of my house. I plan to pressure Kieth Mcfarland to help me organize this in exchange for me letting him drive one of my cars if his is not yet ready.
The DSCC Wet n' Wild II was so much fun, I can't wait a whole year to get together again, and just tell your woman you are taking her to the beach for the 4th and leave it at that.
Are any of you guys up for this ?
J.W.
