All events are Saturday Sunday
Last year NC had 50 teams and I would expect that number to go up by a couple. That should leave plenty of opportunity for third plays. It looks like a good first district schedule.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see a district in Asheville--hopefully that will stimulate teams in the western part of the state. (I know of 1225, and I think there was a second Hendersonville team for a while.)
It still boggles my mind that FRC has so much trouble taking root in the Charlotte area. I know Charlotte-Mecklenberg schools don't "get it", but sheesh! (Someone wanna
buy the Michael Waltrip Racing shop and stir the pot up there?)
