Re: !!PLEASE READ!! TANGERINE Q40 2024 !!!!!

Re: A Mid-Atlantic race in lieu of OJA's race

I’m in the same boat as Dennis. Never was able to make the past races, and have a work trip scheduled over the proposed weekend, but would love to come in the future!

Re: 2023 426 Points Final Standings

You moved up quite a bit. I think next year I will post the column that shows name/membership status...
