High Rock Raceway
High Rock Raceway: The New Golf Comes to Rowan County Drivers with a heavy foot and a hot car need a place to stretch their legs. But where can they open up a Porsche 911 Turbo without encountering light poles, pedestrians, cross traffic and speed limits? Beginning next July, the answer is High Rock Raceway in Spencer.

Forget about verdant fairways and pokey golf carts – it’s not that kind of landscape. High Rock is a private club open to individual and corporate members and their guests.

The medical center has three teams of volunteers who perform pet therapy with patients – Ron Honbarrier and Luke; June Evans and her Sheltie, Lad; and Vickie Wilhelm and her West Highland Terrier, Wynston.
“It’s a great diversion for people,” says Katherine Barrier, director of volunteer services for CMC NorthEast. “Sometimes the staff enjoys it as much as anyone else.”
