As NMMRA Season winds down early we have our Finale Sat Aug 21st at TULIE. With low car count as Members were not fielding a 16 plus Lineup so just as Thunder Raceway shortened our 2010 Season WHITE SANDS has reduced our PURSE. A short field now pays $700 to Win, $175 to Start. The race is on for 2nd Place as a few Points seperate No 19 Ronnie Smith and No 62 Bill Mitchell. We will appreciate as many Members as can Tow to be there. Thanks, Butch Box, President by J W Zinter....
