It's great news to hear Dave and company will be on hand to help the ASRA with any help needed to run this Combo event. There has always been talk about getting the two associations together for a race. This should be as close as it has come. There is a test session on Friday June 21. An ASRA race on Saturday June 22 and the ASRA / Dave Lebrun Alan Peters race on Sunday June 23. All are invited to run both days. Racers that pre pay for the Lucas Oil Division Race the next weekend can leave their rigs at the track. There is also a racers picnic put on by the ASRA on Saturday June 22. Everyone is invited. If you plan on attending it's always nice to bring something to add to it. Barry
