Western Grand's - Puyallup, Washington

Well the 2003 Western Grands are well under way. After some 40+ RC Cars came to race on Sunday night - participants are lining up to have their quartermidget race cars safety inspected for practice today. At 8 am, Jill Starks, co-chairman of the event, reported there were 400 cars signed in so far. Jill told me that Kim Kendall, QMA Treasurer and Steve Chopko, QMA Safety, were the first of the National Board to arrive. Curt Biro, President is now there also. Jill said that Kim Kendall was such a great help in helping the local club begin sign-ins. "She was very complimentary and worked very well for and with our local people," Jill said.
