Unfortunately the Oct. 1st. race was cancelled due to Covid. The race is taking place today on the 8th. Hopefully there will be a decent turnout.

We had a last minute family birthday thing. I'm glad you had a good turnout.

Mitch, it was a good turnout and a good day of racing. Sorry you couldn't make it but family first.

Thanks Howie for hosting the race. I might have to say the pizza was the best part of my day, my car was just too slow to keep up with the most of the field. I am happy to not have had any issues with my car, and mostly stayed out of crashes. Need to work on the speed issue.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.
