I wonder who will fly "Strega" this year or who is paying for the seat? Glad to hear things are picking up.

I know FB says differently but NCAR is on the schedule on Rod Lewis' web site. This is a step closer than last year when it never was on the schedule at all. So hopefully something from his stable will be joining in on the fun.

Good catch I hadn't checked his 2017 schedule yet but That is better than last year. Hey if Bear doesn't make it (fingers crossed she does), La Patrona is always a treat
