2023 Social Captain: Laura Clarke

Yes, we race and cruise...  but we also gather with no other purpose than to enjoy good food and each other's company. 

 

We also volunteer with Lake Lanier Association's annual "Shore Sweep", a large lake clean-up project held each September.

Monthly

On 4th Sundays, we host a Member Social and MeetingPlease check the calendar to confirm details and not miss any changes.

Scheduled Race Series 

 

Dirt-ups

This year, we're excited to announce the return of the post-race dirt-up where racers gather together after the races to eat, drink and tell true racing lies.

Held New Year's Day... Don't miss the fiercely competitive post-Poker Run Chili/Chowder/Stew/Soup Cook-off.

Blessing of the Fleet 
Many thanks to officiants Sheri and Hugh Smith as we resumed our annual blessing ceremony this year.
