KVRG REPORT: (Bob Hinson and Chris Kern)
Date for Ozark is set And ready to go. We have a contract for Heartland at this time.
Will not have a Track Night for Heartland but will be a Friday night drag race we will need to coordinate with. Track Night will occur on Thursday, do not know about need for workers. We will get a longer test day because of this change.
Will have a national TT tour event with the Ozark event and this is helping with the track expense. Looking to have 50 cars.
