It had not rained early so Gloria and I went to Winfield and with John Rebel's help the track was set up about 8:50 AM. About 9:10 the rains came. We waited for a while then with John's help we took down the track. John really saved us a lot of work. He stayed and worked in the rain helping us. John did a great job!

OUR NEXT RACE IS JUNE 19! We hope to see more people there. Again, thanks to John who went above and beyond.
