Im hearing all sorts of good things about the race.

C'mon bud its a buisness trip for you.

Hi All,
Bud, we would love to have you at the race if you can make it. If there is anything we could do for you let us know. Also, Iif I remember correctly you were friends with Russ Upton, am I correct? Perhaps we can pull him out of R/C Retirement if you came down.
Also, A BIG thanks to Bud & BRP for some ULTRA COOL Door Prizes.

Pat, if you are making the trip & need anything send me an email.

Last year for the Mini T Nats we had 180 so with all the added press & classes we should have 300 Plus so it will be an AWSOME event.
