We resurrected the Gravity Shoot-Out this year and held it this past Saturday. We were all reminded of what a fun event this is and it sounds like we’ll be doing it again next year. Thanks to all who participated or came to watch.Â

Just received these photos from Thad. These are the people who made up the 2 teams at the Rebuilding Together race this year in Oklahoma City. The teams took 1st place in the amateur & 4th in the professional classes.
From what I hear not many people attended today’s race. I think the weather scared people off. The rain and my racer breaking as I was loading it are my excuses for not attending. Thanks to Ralph we do have photos…
