SOCIAL AFTER THE MEET: We plan to meet, mingle, and rehash the racing fun after the meet at Fishale Taphouse and Grill, 7715 Front Beach Road. Please join us!!! It would help to know how many plan to attend the social so that the restaurant can set tables for us. Please RSVP to Sue Cottrill at 2coachsue@gmail.com by the meet entry date.
