September Update

In spite of the unusually warm weather, quite a few Sandhills members participated in two cars and coffee events, and we had thirty at the dinner meeting in July.




Pinehurst Village C&C on first Sunday each month attracts 60-70 cars of all makes. I think it’s the nice setting, and shade, in The Village, and a nice park and walking trails. Several good places for coffee and breakfast help too.




Sandhills PCA Cars & Coffee on 3rd Saturday attracts 25-30 Porsches! We have been using Fox Brew Coffee shop in Foxfire Village because of good parking and some shady areas. A few of us go for a spirited drive after C&C and normally stop for lunch. River Wild restaurant on Lake Tillery is popular, and Luna’s in Mt. Gilead is a unique stop too.




A few of us will go to the IMSA race at VIR in August… as spectators! And we have a couple other drives scheduled in September and October…including the CMP Club Race event and the Greene’s mountain home BBQ and then spend the night in Mt. Airy.
