This is the second, and last of the year, High Point HRC Auto-X.
This event is held at Bethel Speedway, a quarter mile oval, black-top track.
It is also, due to the connection of the club to the
National Council of Corvette Clubs, an NCCC pointed event. Unfortunately, such events cannot be canceled due to weather. There was an on-going thread of thunder showers for the area - a 60% chance. The decision was made to go to the track and handle whomever showed up, based on the weather.
Well when we go there, close to 2:00p, the weather was quite good, no threat was seen and there were quite a few cars ready to go. It was totally understandable that not too many Corvettes were present since they all come from a good distance away.
There were however, a healthy number of non Corvettes and two Sportsman's Stock Cars that put on one neat show at the Bethel Motor Speedway in Swan Lake NY.
Two more Auto-x's will be scheduled for the 2017 racing year. In addition to that the club plans on having two old style drags, a car show and rally. Scheduled events can be found on their web-site http://www.highpointcruiserscarclub.com/ and you can get updates on their Facebook page.
