Big Tom Racers’ Town Hall (ONLINE) – March 25, 2020

The new Big Tom Wednesday Night Racing Series is big news and comes with a lot of new information.

Attention All Big Tom Town Hall Attendees:

In response to our new world of safety and “social distancing” the scheduled BIG TOM RACING TOWN HALL is going online. You can attend by video conference, same day and same time as scheduled. Do not come to the club. We all want to be healthy when the racing season arrives.

Matt Stainback from HYC has set up a video conference channel for us. See his instructions below. Walter Ziobro and Ernie Bivona will host.
