Bill had members asked those present who were at the Holloweenie to talk about their experience. Consensus was that it is always a great time with a combination of meeting new racers and seeing those who have been away from solo for a while. The course was fast and challenging several indicated good times while there were a couple of had funs.
Bill indicated how the solo group makes a difference had two young men come and talk to him about how open and welcoming the solo group was to them and it made a difference.
