Cool Bike Award trophies for our 9th Annual Carolinas White Lighting Cross Country Classic to benefit the Armenia United Methodist Church of Chester Country, South Carolina.

Our event is Rounds 1 & 2 of the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) John Penton / Preston Petty National Cross Country Series.

Waiting for the second jug to arrive.

We have had a lot of calls and e-mails today from folks worried about yesterday's snow, and its effect on conditions for the weekend's race.

Here on the banks of South Crowders Creek, thirty-four miles north of the race site, we got a couple of inches of beautiful, wet, fluffy snow from 4:00 A.M. Sunday until about 10:30 A.M. Sunday. Then the sun proceeded to come out brightly , the temperature rose to 49, and ALL of the snow was gone by 3:00 P.M..

Today drizzling rain started mid-afternoon, but is supposed to be gone by morning.

The ground has been dry around here the past several weeks. There was a burning ban in force over the weekend at the race site due to high winds and dry conditions. We are supposed to have high winds again tomorrow, which will dry us out again.

The long-range forecast for our race site is looking great right now at:

Friday, Sunny and 62. Low Friday night into Saturday morning is 46.

Saturday, 20% chance of rain early, and a high of 68. Low Saturday night into Sunday morning is 37.

Sunday, Sunny and 62.

We are looking forward to a beautiful and wonderful weekend of AHRMA racing.

Y'all come!

I would like to thank all of you who attended our 9th Annual Carolinas White Lightning Cross Country Classic to benefit the Armenia United Methodist Church of Chester County, South Carolina.

I surely hope you all had a good time.

I have to give credit where credit is due.  Here is the list of volunteers from AHRMA, the Blue Ridge Pathfinders Motorcycle Club, and the Family Riders Motorcycle Club who make this event a success.

And this doesn't include the fine folks from the Armenia United Methodist Church who setup for and prepare the two delicious breakfasts, and the wonderful steak dinner.
