Middleweight Challenge II (Feb 9 Series Start)
Pairings drawn... Not sure if I'll do photos for each race,but I will have a race re-cap round by round and race by race. Racing starts tomorrow....
Can't wait to see what happens. I'm thinking my #24 Anglia and WCR's #10 Mirada might be a close race. We're tied in the 23rd spot so we'll see what happens. Not sure what to think on the other side though. Even though my #25 Triumph has run pretty good the past two weeks I don't know if it can handle the winner of the #33 Chicknsnot Maverick/#20 Nerve Hammer Symbolic race. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Im excited for our matchup as well, recent intel has told me that the mirada's chassis has fallen loose, so we'll see how it preforms!
