I am working to coordinate yet another year of the popular Sunday racing seminars. These seminars are scheduled to begin at 12:30pm (bring your own lunch) prior to YRA starts throughout the summer. The 2011 YRA - LIS CT Area One Design Championship Series schedule is shown on the club calendar along with the seminars.
Seminar instructors are by club member volunteers.If you have an interest in teaching, please me. These events are always well attended and strengthen our knowledge of the sport.
