Race Committee, previous – 2024

Hey folks, Philippe here. I run the race program at WSC, and you’ll hear from me from time to time. We are a volunteer club, so please do your part to help our racing series thrive!

The folks on this page were a very appreciated resource during our 2024 Summer Series, and provided their time and efforts to run our races. THANK YOU!

Do you want to participate in Race Committee? Contact me at pbl@ideos.com and let me know what role and when.
