We regret to announce that we are forced to cancel the WDRA weekend in Albany scheduled for 19 & 20 May due to the poor weather forecast and our recognition of the major expenses that racers incur in travel and lodging costs.

This also includes all warm-up night races.

The rescheduling of this much anticipated weekend will be announced shortly after consultation with the WDRA officials as to the best fit into the already busy schedule.

We regret any inconvenience but have announced this as early as possible to minimize the impact.

See Ya………….Some Day………….At The Track
