cool cant wait

In order to not repeat the Cluster fock pit situation at the CV race you need to pre-register.

This way they will have enough pits blocked off for the UTV racers.
If we all pre-register we can have all our pits together.

They have already limited the number of Trophy Karts to 75 due to the 100+ that showed up at Chula Vista. Just give them a call and pre-register.


DAR

Well - due to business booming, we won't be able to make Texas....but we WILL be at PRIMM!!!! Can't wait!!! Good luck to everyone heading to TX for the next round!
