There seems to be an extreme lack of news of the event.
Anybody????

They did it all on Facebook & Facebook live. Maybe someone will come back here and give a nice overview when things get back to normal. Tom

As much as Facebook can be a nasty animal, it really is the only thing we have time to do during the crazy schedule and racing. Posting in real time on the forum is just too time consuming to do in real time. We will add some pictures and details over the next few weeks/months.

That's unfortunate for those of us that don't use Facebook.
Look forward to more details, photos.
