Update from the President
Hello Race Families
Finally, the weather cooperated and provided us a very nice race day. It was a lot of fun being part of the Celebration of the Lakes festival and putting on a show for the spectators. Great job, racers!

Race Feedback
An apology to all for the late start of the awards ceremony. There were some issues during tech that consumed a lot of time. We will try to handle these situations more efficiently in the future.
Thanks to all who did track help along with track setup and teardown.

Next up
We have a double-header coming up this weekend on Forest Lake. Saturday is the scheduled race and Sunday is the make-up race from the cancelled Siren event.
On Sunday the race order will be reversed to minimize gear changes.
Important registration information! Our online registration form is not designed to handle multiple races at once. For this week only, enter the day after the racers last name (ex. ‘Smith – Saturday’), and then enter the form a second time for Sunday. If the driver will be racing the exact same classes both days, you only need to send the form once with the word ‘Both’ after the last name (ex. ‘Smith – Both’).
The awards ceremonies will be at the end of each day at The Forest Laker .
This weekend was to be run with WSA but their event has been cancelled.
Our track will be located near Lakeside Park. Going east on Broadway through the city of Forest Lake, cross Highway 61 and take the first left. You will then see the boat ramp to the lake. MAP Look for email or blog entries for any further updates.
Other Information
We have a fantastic group of people that perform scorekeeping and registration but a few of them will be leaving our group next year. We are looking for at least three new people to add to the team next year and the transition will go much better if the process starts now. If you are willing to help with this responsibility, please talk to Cherie Johnson, Marti or Charley this weekend.
