I got a call this weekend from our promoter in Elizabeth City, NC and the local Police Department is hosting the "National Night Out Campaign Against Violence" on Aug 2nd. The Police Department has requested any race teams that are interested in setting up a display of their boat and banners they are more than welcome too.

This would be a great opportunity to show support to the local law enforcement and to promote the upcoming Washington Race as well as the Divisional Race in Elizabeth City schedule for the weekend of Sept. 23rd.

I know this is short notice, but if any teams are interested they can PM, email or give me a call in the office 706-861-1417.

Thanks guys,

Pop
