2010 has started out quite nicely.  Our city is getting the best publicity it has ever seen, our Saints have finally made it to the top, and our February event went off without a hitch.  Some late-year purchases last year helped to make the event a bit better.  Benson Young did allot of research and put allot of his personal time into formulating one of the most sophisticated timing systems on the Gulf Coast.  It is now 90% wireless, providing us reduced setup and cleanup times while ensuring delay-free event.  Also, a newly-purchased PA system helped to keep the spectators and participants better informed of event schedule, times, and where they stood in the rankings.  59 drivers participated with 28 of them being weekend members (potential future Delta members).
