THANKS TO OUR

During
this break in our
racing schedule the

like to express much
gratitude to our
series sponsors who
continually help to
make our series grow
and be the best
racing avenue for
many a driver.

series with great

inception in 2002.
We began 2002 with

done for us through

us in 2002 with Roy

avoid but appreciate
the help that it
gives them in the
aftermath of a
