traveled to Atlanta Georgia this past weekend for a fabulous race at a
wonderful race track, Road Atlanta. Craig Spaulding of Llano County raced
in the FSCCA class and came in third. Quite impressive for a driver who has
not driven that track before and competed against an impressive field of
cars. Tom Dalrymple of Llano, raced in the Spec Racer Ford series and
finished first Congratulations to these two local drivers. Compiled By
