What would you like to take home that symbolizes your experience with racing here in the Don Matthews? I wish that I could keep all of my European racers here longer. I was fortunate to race last summer in France. I wish that I could race with the people that I have met since the beginning of the DMCZWC more often. I have met a lot of people here at the event from Europe. I got to meet a number of French, Irish, Belgians, Scottish, and English racing last summer in France as well. It’s unfortunate that we all can’t get together more often.
