I know quite a few people that were going down to race there, all the
hardcore Sport Compact guys from up here also do that NOPI series. Most of
them would have an H on the grille though, if they chose to paint it on the
fibreglass that is. One guy would have been in a turbo VR Golf, navy with
red back rims. So the show was not so good, that's no good! Hanging out
with listers is always good :)
