Thanks for posting MG.

Last time was a lot of fun with a good turnout. KVP was like a regular by the end of the day, John Miller has been here before and he is always fast. Sano Dave, Swiss, Chuck Gambo, Jeff Strause and Manta Ray were getting the hang of the track and should be tougher the next time. We won't elaborate on Wankers bad day, but hope he has better luck this time.

See you guys at Wanker Valley on Jan 12th.

The track is clean, and spotless.  I sprayed it last night, and will start to run the glue in tonight.  Track should be faster than last race.

The glue is tracking very nicely. We have ran a few races on the clean track, getting rubbered up in all the right  places.Track is alot faster than last time. Should be a blast. See you guys on the 9th. Have a safe trip everyone.

Yea Mike, looks like I missed a good one, next time for sure! I kept checking for results here at work all day to see what was happening. Guess MG didn't make it over.

Congrats to Ron(1st & 2nd) & Sano for cracking the podium and all the rest of the podium finishers.

Looks like the Thazer boys did really well, one win (WTG Dennis) and 10 of 16 a-main spots.

Hey, how's Kato doing after breaking his Aristocrat cherry?
