Six (6) cars were on hand for the Race #1 of 4 of the Finale for the 2014 Track
Championship. The turnout was a little low due to two of our racers were traveling

Luck Guys and bring back the Trophies. Allen Johnson also did not race due to
illness, but he did show some intestinal fortitude and ran the computer in the
Scoring Booth.
