Leland, Thanks for the reminder!
When I started Auto X my vehicle was like 10 years old... and a TRUCK! :eek:
And I wouldn't have stayed or grown with the sport had they not had a place for
me to compete.
I think I have thought to much of the sport 'professionaly' looking to grow it
into something less amateur... but the truth is... that is why the sport is so
popular!
Thanks for setting me straight!
