  It looks like the Claytor Lake VA boys are putting on another practice race in the coming weeks before Nashville Nationals.  If your within driving distance, I highly recommend making it out to this ride.  The one they put on earlier in the year had an awesome turnout, a fun track and offered great practice.  Stay tuned to OptimaRacing.com for more info. As soon as we know the date, we will post it up in the news section.

  Another big Lake Norman NC practice looks to be in the works as well, we will post more info up about that as it is released.
