LAST CALL FOR THE GFC and BEST WISHES FOR A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL FINISH... ...to all Gators with an event this weekend! It's a light weekend of racing, but we do have an event being offered by our club sponsor French Creek Racing, who has done an amazing job of reviving live events in a safe way as they approach double digits in terms of events offered this summer and early fall!
