Abigail is doing CYC midwinters too. I think other CYC expresses will be as well. If this catches on let me know and Ill tell the old man to talk to the club about keeping visiting Expresses somewhere. I dont think he checks the site really.

Another thought, we could do a little BBQ or something one of the days after racing to get some fleet camaraderie going? If everyone through in $5 or so I could get everything.

:: :: We could have a "guest" crew weight exemption for

:: :: I don't know what this would look like, but it might be

:: :: weekend both January (MLKing B-Day) or February (Prez

:: :: Or perhaps we could use another race venue or create our

:: :: Just a thought.
