Hey Gordon,

Confirming I will be at this FRC race meeting ...

Bringing Rally and F1 cars but have no Slot.It Challenge or Scratch Built cars.

Also, the same new visitor I mentioned (few weeks ago) may come along too.

Fyi - I will confirm his visit on the WhatsApp reminder.

Btw - the bright looking pic of the F1 Ferrari driven by Fernando Alonso did the job :D
