Weekly Update - April 28, 2011

As always, shots from the last nine years are up in Our Store here, and be sure to check out the recent additions to the area scenery/wall art selections. Below are some of the highlights from last week.

DON'T FORGET to hit the "Older Posts" link at the bottom of each page to get to the end. ;)

wind/lightning storms came through the area last night.  We drove back home from Knoxville to Robbinsville while it was finishing up at about 10pm, and there were about a dozen trees across the road down along the lakes just north of Deals Gap, but we got around them in the Mini and made it home ok.  The Gap itself was fairly clear, with just small debris here and there, and one tree down near the state line (TN side) but it was only blocking one lane.  Being a federal highway, TDOT should have it all cleared up pretty quickly, but they've got busy roads in town to clear also.

Mini Cooper Rally this week/weekend...500+ cars, 800+ people.  Overshadowing the Mazda Rotary Rally also taking place.  And finally, Race 2 in the Fiddies 4 Life 2011 minibike racing series takes place Saturday night in the Deals Gap Resort parking lot.

Ok, on to highlights!

The website is asking for course workers. Do you know if you have to be a member of SCCA to help out?

Not sure Flash, although I would imagine they would expect some proof of knowledge considering it's a safety/liability thing. I'd say if you don't have experience there's not much hope, otherwise it can't hurt to ask.
