MISSED MAY 3RD RACE. As hard as we try we still make mistakes and the race May 3rd is one of them. We somehow dropped this Committed race from our schedule. We realize that some of our group have already made other plansfor this date. DOUG HOPPER AND BETTY ARE GETTING MARRIED. However, we have a commitment to race at Punta Gorda that weekend which we will make. Because of this SNAFU and wanting to be fair to everyone this will be a non points event with a $500.00 to win payoff and the remainder of the purse to be divided between two lucky winners to be drawn by random by the winner. (Min 16 cars participating) We will also be conducting a voluntary Calcutta with the highest participating team taking the pot.
