Race Committee

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!

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