Hey Guys
***We are going to a limit the number of entries, to 80***

Since WFRCCC events yielded so few attendants we did not put a limit on the amount of entries. But there seems to be a lot of interest – and after doing the math --- the 2008 International Speed Challenge, Might even, turn into a 2 day event.

So
Get your pre-entries in & plan to be flexible.
This is event is gaining more & more momentum. It now has the attention of Speed TV!
