MAJOR CHANGE FOR 2009 EVENT PLEASE READ!!!

[sparecr]

After much consideration and discussion among the officers of USA7s.org we regrettably are choosing to change the location and timing of the 2009 event.

 

We have looked at the situation and based on a number of factors we have chosen to have the 2009 USA7s meet in Birmingham, AL in conjunction with the 2009 LOG29 event.

 

If you look at the LOG29 schedule you will find there are numerous drives planned, there is a lap “at speed” (not some 5 mph cruise of Talladega Super Speedway), and entry into the Barber Motorsports Museum that has a collection of over 1200 motorcycles and the largest collection of Lotus race cars in the world.

 

The LOG29 committee has already planned several driving events including an autocross, car control clinics, and a Monday track day at Barber Motorsports Park (which is a track our club could never afford).

 

We did not want to make you choose a 7s only event or LOG29 in Birmingham and missing out on the great Lotus collection and the great driving events. We have elected to let you know of this decision as early as possible. USA7s.org will be forming a schedule of USA7s.org events that will be separate from LOG29 happenings and members will be free to choose which they wish to attend. (To participate in LOG29 events (including track) you will have to register for LOG.)

 

I know there will be many questions and will take time each evening to answer. My direct phone number is 205-470-0191 — leave a message if I’m not there. We plan to return to our stand alone event in 2011.

 

So the new 2009 event announcement—

 

The club officers have decided to run the 2009 USA7s.org national meet the weekend of May 28-June 1, 2009. The event will taking place in Birmingham, AL. The Winfrey Hotel will be the host hotel. Many events will take place at Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum and Barber Motorsports Park. During the event weekend there will a NASA sanctioned event at Barber Motorsports Park, there also will be a large car show that will include the Lotus Concours (200 cars expected), the Concours for the Mercedes-Benz National, and the 300-400 of the region’s best cars at the 1st Barber Sportscar Classic. Please see www.LOG29.org for their schedule and further hotel info.

 

Thank You for your understanding,

John Viviani

President USA7s.org
