 Member Weekend February 17-18By Ellen Delmore, Country Club Coordinator
What a weekend we had last month, with over 20 members and a variety of their guests it was an exciting two days of driving.
 Bruce Jameson and his entire family enjoyed their newly purchased Radicals and a few trips in the helicopter.
The buzz on the paddock was the anticipation of the Karnival of Karts Open House March 2. Members are so excited to try the new track. Member Mark McCarthy purchased a new kart to run on the day of the opening. We did have a bit of a kart teaser as we designated an hour and a half on the 1.5-mile track for members to experience the ride.
Co-owner John Morris was out with usual enthusiasm giving Radical and helicopter rides and  giving tours of the “soon to be open” Club House. John is so generous with his time, if you’ve never been in a helicopter it is his great pleasure to take you up. Email Ellen and let her know when you’re coming out and if the helicopter and John are available, we’ll set it up!
There were also many other members that gave rides to guests. Kirk Shroyer gave rides and Mark McCarthy was showing guest Elizabeth Pickard around the track in his Lotus. Fred Chin was out with his entire Porsche crew, which made for some serious action. Dave Tweedlie, Jeff Shafer and a lot of other Radical enthusiasts enjoyed a fast day on the track. It  was such a friendly, family atmosphere that weekend. As the weather gets warmer we look forward to seeing many of you and your family at the track. With so many events in the works it is impossible for you to miss an exciting weekend.
Check out all the exciting pictures, we hope you enjoyed yourself as much as the staff did.
Karnival of Karts - March 2
 The Karnival of Karts Grand Opening event was a huge success, with over 50 karts participating in the festivities. Marc and Suzanne Segal, participants in the event, commented, “THANK YOU … for the Kart open house. The track is awesome. It is a perfect mix of high speed and technical all in one. The new sections blend perfectly with the road course. Everyone was very helpful. Having the owner of the track come over and welcome us along with Dave Petrie was great. A special thanks to Ken Northrup for his expertise, knowledge and passion for the sport!”
Ken Melgoza, Charter Member, prepared this short video to introduce our new Karting Program on our website. Thank you, Ken! Check out our new Kart Video!
