This was also a project day. Mark brought his copy of a Hanna chassis in progress and got the motor mount and rear cross over soldered in. We got a few other little projects done also. Thanks to those who showed up and made it a fun day.

Re: This is the Can Am page.

What a fun day of racing. I really enjoyed the camaraderie. The racing was fierce but not taken too seriously. Thanks everybody.

Re: This is the Can Am page.

I'm with Rico!

Here's a few pictures I took at the race:

Here's Howie inspecting Herb's car during tech inspection. Yes, he passed first try!

Tim (Tiny) took a break from his own newly constructed track duties to get in some racing.

The pits were busy too! Bart was telling Craig and Al that sometimes snacks help!

Whatever Herb was doing, Douglas thought it was pretty funny!
