Hey Everyone!
this year's Fiat Freakout is at Grandover Resort in Greensboro, NC and is easily accessible from the North, South, East or West. This is a driving event so make sure your cars are up to snuff.
We Start off with a track day event at Virginia International Raceway. For those with open cars, no roll bar required with a signed waiver. This event is a prelude to the FFO but you don't have to be a Fiat Club member to participate. An early bird special is being offered for $300 so get your spot reserved! Email Phil Wicks at Racerwicks@aol.com for more information.
Wednesday is a tour to various race shops: Richard Petty, Richard Childress and our very own, John and Gary Baucom....or, for those less interested in racing, I have a nice country tour through the Uwharrie national forest, visiting the pottery district, Pisgah covered bridge and Southern Supreme Fruitcake factory.
Thursday we have an autocross scheduled so bring your helmets!....or, for those less interested in racing, I have a nice tour of Old Salem, A Moravian settlement from Pennsylvania that blossomed into what we now know as Winston-Salem. This is a fun and exciting history lesson for all ages. Thursday night Welcome Party will be held in the gardens of our host hotel.
Friday we have a gokart race at the GoPro Motorplex in Mooresvlle. This is a fun track with pretty fast karts!...or, for those less interested in racing, i have a time/distance rally through the Blue Ridge mountains. The final destination is an added treat but I can't tell you. It's a secret. After that, we also have a tour to the Red Oak Brewery, which in my honest opinion, is the best brew around. Then the Friday Night Drive-in at the hotel. Kids have their own drive in movie.
Saturday, our car show on hotel grounds. there will be a special section for Italian race cars so I hope we have a good amount for display. We will also have tech sessions set up in the hotel. i am looking for a session or two if anyone wants to share a fix with their fellow Fiatsi. Our Saturday night banquet will be a little early to make time for a bus trip to famous Bowman Gray Stadium to see.....you got it! Racing! This track, around a football field, is the oldest and longest running track in NASCAR AND it's where my daughter also races. It's exciting racing fills the stands with 15 - 20k people every weekend. You won't want to miss this show!....or, for those less interested in racing, I have a nice dessert bar and an early beginning to the parking lot jam!
Sunday, we have our Raffle and silent auction and our chance to bid farewell to our friends until next year. Since the hotel provides 2 breakfast vouchers included in the price per night, we will have drinks and treats instead of breakfast.
