Both were very well attended and a ton of fun! You now only have one more chance to attend an event before the dog days of summer start. Quickly, go sign up for the May 9 event on clubregistration.net and get in a day of driving just before Mother’s Day. By AMY RICHES If you are a mother, maybe you can sweet talk your way into making the track day a Mother’s Day treat! We are consis- tently seeing more women participate in the events and leav- ing with big smiles on their faces. Come on out ladies, let’s keep the trend going so that one day we can have enough to make a ladies only day at the track. If you can’t make it to the May event, our next event will be September 19 and 20, so make sure you mark your calen- dar and sign up early for it. It typically sells out pretty quickly. I am putting together a little project and would like some help from anyone who has attended our events. Can you email me a brief quote?
