    We had a nice little group cheering on Valley Vette's team last night. You could certainly hear us when our team members won. It was fun to watch Marcus Crawford win 2 races in his new C-8 Vette. As of now, Firebird hasn't posted the team standing, but I'm betting we're still in first place for Copper Cup. Thanks to those who came out to watch!
