Well if you dont know, let me introduce you to Mr. Justin Lyons and his Track Lyons Curbs. These are design to basically save your bodies and keep that lid looking new. Tracks all across the country have started using these including Snowbirds. Now Justin and his Curbs are coming to the USVTA Southern Nationals.

He is also doing a racer and beginner layout that will be fun and challenging for all. Nice flow and enough technical run to make everyone smile.

So please join me in thanking Justin and Track Lyons for coming onboard for this years event. You can check out more of his amazing products here
