The TBARA was very excited to have the one and only WILD CHILD back in the flag stand. For the many fans that stayed through the 250 lap Pro Cup Race they were in for a real treat as Doug was in rare form!
Also, we introduce our new announcer for the Club, Scott McAllister. Scott was on hand not only announcing for the crowd but lending his voice to Gordon Motorsports. Gordon Motorsports were there conducting driver interviews and videotaping the race. (For copies of the race, contact Gordon Motorsports at www.gordonmotorsports.com)
