2012 Annual Business Meeting

2012 marks the 5th Anniversary of our NC Region Annual Membership Meeting held at the Ramada Inn in Burlington, NC. It has evolved over the past few years into being a really great event to attend in mid-January. Word has spread and we have members from other Regions
in North Carolina and Virginia joining us. The Meet has grown enough that we are sponsored in part by our fellow Regions Alamance and Hornet’s Nest in support. The Ramada Inn has been very hospitable as well and has plenty to offer. They provide us with several conference rooms and a really great rate on rooms with complimentary breakfast for those spending the night.

The meet kicks off at noon on Friday with the AACA National Judging School hosted by a team of our AACA National Judges. Their presentation covers all aspects of Judging at an AACA national event with a number of examples and judging do’s and don’ts. This is followed by a National Apprentice Program for those who are just getting started. Afterwards, the National Judging team will judge members vehicles if desired. National Judging points are credited for attending these classes. To judge at a National AACA event you have to attend at least one judging school per year. The advantage of attending the judging school in Burlington is that it allows you to have this already completed when you attend a National Meet!

On Saturday a variety of one hour seminars are held in the conference rooms for you to choose from covering different topics in the antique auto hobby. This years’ agenda has three CJE’s or

2011 VIR Cruise-In

November 5th was the first Old Dominion/NC Region Cruise-in at Virginia International Raceway, or as more commonly known...VIR. It was a cold and blustery day, about about 8am, cars started arriving for the event. There was car there from Maryland. By about 11 am we had approximately 60 to 70 cars. By noon, there were more.

We didn't get out on the track until about 12:40, taking two laps around the track. We had enough cars that we streched the line all the way around the 3.27 mile track. There were times when you could run 45-50 but then would have to stop at other points on the track.
