If you were not careful, you year. Further review indicates that WE will host recently missed the actual start of the CFR 150 event days in 2008. This includes the Solo, season, as we staffed the Grand Am test days Club Race and Pro racing activities. Apply a and at same time hosted our January Sebring little math and we take up 41% of the year with National event, for some 300+ of our closest club activities, it's probably a good thing that friends. there are not more months available to us. So, the other day I was talking to an 'out of With Barbara Henschel at the lead, CFR has region' member and the discussion turned to implemented some information technology to club racing. We have purchased practice, qualifying and race results at Rumor has it that my work will finally let hardware that allows us to have T & S a convenient location. Having the data up, see you at the races.
