CARTHAGE, N.C. — Moore County Airport will share its aircraft flight line with automobiles on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022.
Motors and Moore is presented by the Sandhills Motoring Club, a group of automotive enthusiasts who display their vehicles at unique locations around Moore County. The Sandhills Motoring Club participates with other automobile groups in the area, including the Triangle Section of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America, the Sandhills Area of the Porsche Club of America, the British Auto Touring Society, and other clubs that have affiliation with the annual Sandhills Motoring Festival.
The free event is open to the public. More than 100 vehicles are expected to be on display at the airport from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
“We are thrilled to add this unique event to our growing lineup of community events at the Moore County Airport,” said Airport Director Ron Maness. “One of the key strategies the members of the Airport Authority have developed is to continue to enhance our community outreach with events like this, ones that allow people to experience our facilities, even though they may not be flying out of Moore County.”
“We are hoping that a few of our airport base customers might add a couple of planes to contribute to the excitement of the Motors and Moore event,” added Manness.
Why do we need to look up the ap or google the activity to obtain the state where located???
3WHOLE days to plan is enough for me. Thanks for arranging it
Well 3 hole days to plan. That makes it virtually impossible to attend. Must want only locals.
In their defense (I live near KSOP), Ron Maness (former USAF TBird pilot and local rancher) was only recently named the new airport director when the previous fellow quit. Ron is better in touch with what pilots need and enjoy. I too only learned of this event through GANews, so clearly KSOP needs to do a better job of getting the word out. The weather should be good for this on the 19th. This is one where the wives would be interested, shopping in downtown Southern Pines is very popular among the weaker sex. Guys can drop them off and try out any one of four local breweries, too!
