I don't even remember ... I'll check the time slip of mine tomorrow. I can tell ya neither of them were probably good, it was my first time actually on the track so I was slow and my brother will spin through 3rd if he's not careful so he took off slow as well.

Take the Albermarle Rd 24/27 exit East bound off of I-485 Travel approx 15minutes on the way there you will pass though Midland(just a crossroads), then Locust (up and coming small town) then you will come to the intersection of 24/27 and 205/742 in a 'town' called Red Cross Take a right. Oakboro will be 3 minutes south on 205/742. If you go during the cruise you wont miss it. It isn't the type of get together at a specific location, oakboro is small enough where the car cruise engulfs the entire town. If you get lost, just ask a local to tell you how to get to Big Lick -Jim
