problem. We would have gone to Atlanta (SVRA) last weekend but had to go
to VSCCA@Lime Rock(which got cancelled at 11AM Saturday due to the
horrid storm). Same way with Bridgehampton, VSCCA could not get a date
due to conflicts, and next year promises to be even worse. VMC is the
logical solution, now if they can get coordinated. Victory Lane is
looking for all the clubs to send in their '97 schedules, if they get
them soon enough that will help in the planning.
