Sitting back and looking at the weekend that was one can be satisfied. The heat held off for a bit, it rained a few times, the crazies at Craven got muddy, the Riders are in first place and Summer Session went off without a hitch. So before I take off for the wilds of northern Saskatchewan I will tell you about the weekend in the Rundown. Let’s begin…..
DODOlogic along with 306MotorClub.com joined forces and hosted the first ever Summer Session Meet up in Saskatoon on Saturday. While the weather wasn’t completely Summer-like it was pleasant with a couple of rain showers to keep the dust down. We did a rough count of around 130 different cars that made their way into the lot at Circle Drive Alliance Church. After all was said and done, Summer Session was a great Success.

The meet was completely made possible by our two event Sponsors Performance Plus and DaD Cycle and Sled. They are the ones that covered the costs of the lot rental and event insurance so hats off to them for helping make this happen. Make sure you support these businesses because they are the ones supporting the enthusiast community.

Thank yous also must go out to Circle Drive Alliance Church for making the use of their parking lot possible. Also we would like to thank Sasha from WIRED 96.3 for coming out and seeing what the meet was all about. She even got on her phone and called in a ‘spot’ letting listeners know what was going on. Also a huge thank you has to go out to Curtis from 306MotorClub for helping take care of business on the Saskatoon side of things.

Now that Summer session is over we can look forward to Redline Society’s Summer Heat which takes place on Saturday August 18th at Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon. If you couldn’t make it out for Summer Session, try and make it out to Summer Heat.
