D19 NITRO/FE RACE June 27

With a need to keep Nitro a viable race category, Mark Grim (Amigos Race Team) and Al Waters (NAMBA Executive Sec'y.) decided to host an All-Nitro event and graciously invited FE to participate with basically as many classes that we could populate (with a 3-entry minimum).

The FE Classes that qualified were : P-Ltd Tunnel , P-Mono , P-Ltd Hydro , PLSH.

A combined 52 heats {four heats per class} went off ultra-smoothly (with the exception of my debut as a part-time CD - note to self : turn ON the *&^% microphone before calling the race:doh:)

To make sure there were no jogger/tree hugger complaints from the Nitro smell, a huge pile of road apples was deposited in the pit area by the volunteer horsie-sheriffs
