GHiT 0743: Queers Shifting Gears - Race and Year In Review
Our friends at Queers Shifting Gears have come a long (LONG) way in the past year or so and went from knowing what Lemons racing is to KNOWING what Lemons racing is. We saw them at our race at Summit Point and now we get to see how that race went and how the year of endurance racing progressed. Will they be back? Why yes, yes they will.
