This year’s Annual Gala & Banquet on Saturday, November 2 at the Delta Town & Country Inn was another big success with the usual potpourri of great food, ‘speeches’, serious (and not-so-serious) year-end awards, door prizes and dancing. Congratulations to Ivan Lessner, this year’s REVS Champ and to all of the other award recipients. We look forward to seeing everybody at the track in 2014.
Thanks to Gerry Frechette for the photos of the evening shown below. You can check out all of Gerry’s photos of this past year in motorsport on his web site (here).
