VA State Championship Series 2011 (RCRNV, VORRA, Debbie's RC)
All,
It is with great pleasure that I announce the VA State Championship Series for 2011. Over the past few weeks, I've been in contact with Rick, Eric, and Chris (Owners/POC's) at each of the Va tracks. We've exchanged several drafts, ideas and concerns, and came up with the final plan.
I would like to thank the racers and track owners for their interest in making this happen. I know it's early, but we wanted to get this out before the new year so that we could all start planning our weekends. It looks like 2011 is going to be a great year as not only do we have this series to look forward to but Jackson RC is going to be hosting the 2011 On-road Electric Nationals, in NJ. Congrats to them and we look forward to a great racing year!!
