It's GREAT to see some young bucks interested in the sport/hobby!

The average age of contestants at our events is not getting any smaller...

Kudos to you guys for getting the next generation of racers involved.

That is just a testament to the upbringing of these to "young men.

You and Fabi, Albert and Maggie are great parents, that love spending time with there children, and sharing your good times with others.

Chris and I always look forward to spending a race weekend with you-all
