All,

Mark your calendars for this event.  Registration will open soon.  PM me with any specific questions.

-Justin



Welcome to the 2nd Annual High Country Challenge!!!!
Scheduled for October 3rd, 2009


Full details:  www.highcountrychallenge.com


What is this?
The High Country Challenge is a self-guided driving event through the heart of Americana.  We provide the sponsor stops, you determine the route.  An automotive adventure where you get to see beautiful sights, interesting locations, and great roads.

Where is it located?
The event this year will be centered in and around the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina.

Why should you participate?
Proceeds from the event are donated to a beneficiary each year.  The NCNG Soldier and Airmen's Family Assistance Fund will once again be the recipient.

Who can play?
Anyone.  We recognize one driver or one driver and one navigator as a team.  Cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles are all welcome.

Cost?
$50 per vehicle; includes a light dinner at the last stop and all proceeds go to charity.

Prizes?
Grand Prize - All expenses paid (hotel room for one night and gas money for the day)
Additional prizes – Product and Service donations from Event and Route Sponsors

How does the event work?
The participants will visit as many of our route sponsor stops as they desire.  At each stop, trip tickets are available that will be used to qualify for the drawings at the end of the event.  The more locations you visit the more drawing entries you earn.  Pretty simple.  Beyond that....we're not going to tell you how to get to each location or when you have to be there.  The number of route stops will be kept relatively low in order to provide you with the most flexibility to get out, relax and enjoy the countryside.


Here are a few random pics from the event last year:

Good news!  We got our first official Event Sponsor today!

Supercar Sensations, based out of Concord, NC, has given us a gift certificate good for their Test program.  In the Test,  you get to drive 3 of their supercars over the course of an hour!

Just wanted to drop the latest update on you guys.

We've locked in the Post-Event Hotel....which is where we'll all head after the proceedings at the winery to continue the festivities.  Details are on the website on the Info page.

Online Registration should be available in the next couple of days.


I hope to see some Loti out there this year.  It's a great time for a great charity.

So...just a quick run down of this year's sponsors and stops to date...

Partner Organizations:
Carolina Z Club
ZDayZ


Gold Sponsors:
CarboTech
Asphalt Ventures (Free track day on the table.....)
Boosted Performance

Silver Sponsors:
Supercar Sensation
Wilkes Web Solutions
Hooters of Lake Norman (Free Chicken....and good scenery....)
Spotless Detail

Bronze Sponsor:
The Pit


And now for this year's confirmed stops:
There will be four regular stops, 1 mystery stop and the whole thing ends at the Winery.  To date we have three of the four nailed down along with the final destination.  Kevin and I are hoping to have the remaining stop nailed down this week.

Returning for their second year....



This store was our innagural mystery stop.  They've stepped up this year to be one of our regular stops



New to the lineup this year is a great store that's been around since 1914. 




And finally, making the jump from stop to playing host to the evening portion of the event....



As I said, we hope to confirm our last remaining stop this week.
