Machines and Gossip
Several members, including,
Jerry, Tim, Lyle, Mike, Buckshot, Perry, Bruce, Freddy, Maynard, David, Gary and
friends attended the NSRA Nats in Louisville. No
major issues were reported. Weather was really nice, with the exception of some
rain Thursday morning and a sudden wind gust on Friday that sent members scrambling
to grab tents.
One
KARC member was seen rubbing elbows with Joe and Amanda from Iron Resurrection.
