The January 2003 edition of North American Pylon went into the mail for
subscribers today, Friday, Jan. 24, 2003.
With many clubs not operating in winter time, most notably the traditional
Dixie Region's Allies versus Axis meet, we are down to only one event to
report on, namely the Jan. 12 meet organized by Beachcombers Corvette Club
at the Pungo Airfield in Virginia Beach, VA.
Sooooo, we have some other interesting material:
- Greg Laws tells us about the "Saga of the Valkyrie" and why kit
cars can't run in E Modified.
-Erik Strelnieks collects some Valvoline cash for winning their
Time Trial series.
-There's a Q&A on the proposed P.R.O. series. We learn they have
seven employees among other things.
-Matt Murray wins the Stirling Moss Trophy (a New England Region
exclusive).
-Lots of new calendar dates, including
--North Carolina Autocross Championship.
--San Francisco Region runs at 6 different sites (not all
at once!).
