303 242 2929:usa: The National Guard cooks that has served lunch and breakfast us in the past years have been called to duty because of the Black Forest fire. We are looking and hope that we found some suitable replacements. This is why this is such a great event that gives us a way to say thank you for the people who serve us and keep us save. We will up date as the race event draws closer. Our prayers and thoughts go out to everyone involved in these fires.

303 242 2929:usa: I got a call on Friday. Hey 50 degrees on Sunday lets go to IMI and run some laps. OK I’ll charge the battery and if it starts I am there. Yea, it started and it was great. Saw many regular karters and met many new ones. I know several others were at Bandimere. What a great state snow capped mountains and dry tracks.. I hope that Junction and the Spring tracks got in some laps. Let’s think what can happen with a state series. Holy Cow as Harry would say.
