NEWS
With an already busy off-season underway, we are going to punt on rescheduling the Charity Race in 2025 that was postponed for weather in the spring, and try to come back with a refreshed event format for 2026 that will hopefully be able to attract some good attendance. We hope you have a good off-season and we hope to see you at the Banquet and Swap Meet.
RULES COMMITTEE will meet online at the link on OVKA.com on Oct 11 & 18 at 11:00am. OPEN DISCUSSION from General Membership is welcome, so come join in to help make the changes you want to see for 2026!
REMINDER: Rules Committee DOES NOT set the 2026 schedule or tire compound.
