[Nobbc] Last Ditch Reminder

Thu Sep 24 23:30:55 MDT 2009

CSRG holds two events a year at Infenion. The next one is in  
April...not as big as the Charity event, but I don't think they charge  
to get in...just good old fun club vintage racing...and they may not  
have a minimum no of cars for a corral. Watch their web site. I hope  
to have my car back on the road by then.
