Well, if they do half points for today and half for the first rain shortened race, we almost have two full rounds in

We should get rewarded for getting wet and our ice skating skills

Might be too hot and muggy. Vents, fans and smaller pinions or beware the thermal!

Saturday

Make sure to bring a cooler with water and other refreshments! Don't forget a fan for yourself.

If you have a generator, please bring it. I imagine the draw on the shop's is going to be heavy this weekend.

Sean and the Hobbytown crew did a great job today. Special thanks to Dave T. for all of his help. Cole was not at the race and Dave did not race. He is a good guy who spent the whole day helping out.
