We have met and planned this fall's race a couple of days ago. We planned this race while also planning our spring 2026 race. The race next spring will be our 10th anniversary. It's hard to believe we have been racing for 10 years already. Next years race is going to be an all out race. We will have some cool stuff for next year. Hopefully will have it all planned out and ready to announce at our race next month. Next month there will not be a special race as we have all had hectic lives and I've spend my summer working on a new gate system that is not ready yet. Hopefully I will have the bugs worked out for next spring. The trophies for this race are way over the top cool. Almost too much. With all the trouble we had with last events trophies we wanted everyone to get extremely cool trophies. Guaranteed these trophies are the best yet. Look forward to seeing you all on Saturday March 25th at the Factory here in Liverpool. Stay safe and we are excited to see you all again.
