Hi All:  Calling all drivers its almost time to "Start Your Engines" (well I hope you have tried at least once so far)

  BARC's Grand Prix of Ice Racing is coming up fast.  This year BARC is hosting the second weekend in the series on January 28 / 29.    so get those snuggies out and come join us in Minden for a great weekend of ice racing.

Because of the cost of running our club our Membership Dues have been increased to $45.00.  This was decided by a membership  vote at the January 3, meeting by a quorum of the membership. The increase is due to the HST which we now have to pay.

I have been very slow in doing this and I do appoligize to all our winners in 2011:
