[email protected]

if the clouds on that side of the valley would work, and after
scratching around for about an hour finally made it south far enough
to have the 100 km...

Classes? by
XYZ
My last less than sucessful post was an attempt to provoke thought about
handicapping.
I really think the SSA and SCCA have the same problem. Too diverse a

Trailer wanted by
JJ Sinclair
I have a buyer for my ASW-20 re-build project, but he needs a trailer
to act as a shipping container, if nothing else (read; it doesn't have

Thanks,
JJ Sinclair
