Things went well.

Well Mike I hope to get them to make the trip. I also hope there will be enough 13.5 to make a good class.

We will be happy to support this race in his memory. We will be sending several race prizes including a DX3R radio system in hopes of raising as much as possible for Brian's family.

I encourage all racers in the area to support this event.

For better or worse, i will be there to anounce the races. :thumbsup:

For those of you that are from out of town, the owner of Hobbytown USA in Boardman Ohio has completely shut down his track the day of this race as to maximize participation in the memorial race. On Sunday the 16th, the next day, their will be a trophy race at his track. The track is about 45 miles away. If anyone wants to make it a 2 day thing, some of the local guys are going to this race also, so just ask for directions.

Thanks to all of the sponsors for their support.
