I'm waiting for some race reports to be posted, to give everyone their props, but Eric Gehrken's record TQ run, and win, at HVR this past weekend, using a C/R Versa-bracket deserves special mention.

He also used a C/R 3/4" coined steel nose pc./ guide tongue.

Now that Noose (not complaining-lol) has caught up with the race reports, time for some more props for the numerous racers using Chicagoland Versa-brackets in the last few months.
