I know, I know. It is Tuesday and this is supposed to be the Monday Morning Rundown. I don;t know what to tell you except for that you were all probably too busy, or sleeping or still drunk yesterday morning to read this so I figured I would give you another day to get your act together. So here we go. The first, and probably not the last, Tuesday Morning Rundown……..
First up is the 2011 DMCC West season which is just around the corner. On June 11th and 12th the series kicks off in Calgary at Race City. For tickets and more info check out – http://ww2.dmccdrift.com/schedule/west/round-1/. Of course, DODOlogic will be bringing you coverage of the event.
