FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT
Now that the racing season is gone by I would like to thank all the membership tracks for their support of our club.We look forward to the 2001 season and hope to add another track to our membership. If you were one of the many members who attended a race at one or more of these tracks it would be great to drop them a line and say thanks for allowing us to be apart of a night of fantastic racing at there facility. Most membership tracks can be e-mailed from our links page. Don’t forget our 35th Annual Awards & Dinner Dance Banquet will be held on January 20, 2001. If you have plans to be in the area at that time be sure to get a ticket early. Just contact me at president@marfc.org.
