Probably 2 miles from the track, right next to Hooters, it was recommended for the Gold Cup race I think.

Default Great Racing!

Race results are in the Race Results thread!

A bunch of videos and other stuff are in the TRCR thread.

I thought the weekend went perfectly. Dalton was great on the mic and the loop problems were solved as quickly as could be hoped. Great battles in every class.

Here are the final standings for Mod buggy double B mains. Tiebreaker is better finish in B2 main.

11 CJ Ferrell
12 Derek Rasheed
13 Harley Yoshii
14 Tom Davies
15 Joe Kinsella
16 Evan Margeson
17 Roger Seim
18 Ron Begeot

I will have the points standings updated soon.
