Sunday, July 12, 2009.  NECC/SECC Time Trials at Roebling Road Raceway! 

The Northeast Corvair Council (NECC) and Southeast Corvair Council (SECC) are teaming up to bring you time trials at Roebling Road Raceway.  Scheduled in tandem with the nearby 2009 Corvair Society of America Convention, this event promises to bring out a large field of the country’s best track Corvairs.  But you don’t need to have a Corvair to participate in this event.  All makes and models of cars are welcome, subject to our usual tech inspection rules. 

 

Roebling Road Raceway originally opened in 1959 and is now one of the Southeast's most challenging and fastest tracks.  The 2.02-mile asphalt road course consisting of nine turns is located just 20 miles from beautiful historic downtown Savannah, Georgia.

 

A favorite track of many, its deceptively simple design allows for multiple lines and techniques.  Facilities include a full service concession stand, covered technical inspection area with scale, Phillips 66 Race and Cam 2 fuel, men's and women's hot showers, and camping with electrical and water hook-ups.  

 

Full information and online registration is available on the NECC website at:  www.neccmotorsports.org.

*Saturday, August 8, 2009 - NJACE Summer Picnic

NJACE Picnic at the Cohen’s followed by Beatlemania at Camp Jefferson Amphitheatre.  This year, we are taking the picnic back to a popular location and we are combining the picnic with a special treat.

 

The picnic will take place at the home of Bill and Marguerite Cohen in Sparta. We held several picnics there a number of years ago, and the Cohen’s deck and yard, surrounded by deep woods and well-isolated from the neighbors, was always a most pleasant summer destination. Many members will remember when “Bambi” strolled out of the woods to join our picnic one year, so pastoral is the setting.

 

But, just as the sun begins to sink in the sky, we will move from the Cohen’s to the nearby Camp Jefferson Amphitheatre to enjoy the national touring stage show, Beatlemania Again. The will be a perfect compliment to our day, in which we will celebrate our unique 1960s cars and enjoy a re-creation of the biggest popular culture phenomenon of the decade. The organizers of the Beatlemania Again show at Camp Jefferson have indicated that they may be able to arrange for close-in parking for some Corvairs, fitting as they are to the era.

 

The picnic will begin at 3 PM, with our usual blend of your favorite grillables with club-supplied refreshments. The curtain goes up on the Beatlemania Again show at 8 PM.

 

Saturday/Sunday; September 12th & 13th- Trip to Pioneer Campground.

Details to be announced.

 

* Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 - Quarterly meeting at the Mt. Olive Grill, Flanders, NJ.

Details to be announced.
