Special Thanks to Charlie Downing

Mike Delahanty · 02-28-2017, 09:05 PM

I would like to pass along special thanks to Charlie Downing for putting together a Points Program for the 2017 GLSSA Series. Charlie has already secured some nice funding to make the points program a nice reward for the racers.

We are looking for any leads for sponsors to add some more funds to the points program.

I'll get the points program posted here in the next couple of days.

Pass along the word to your fellow racers - this is going to be a good year to be at the GLSSA races!
