2012 Results/Year End Summary

It's been a pretty cool year for us two this year. Being on the local TOP Gear team has been a great help for us to do some new and lots of previous favorite races over the last few years. Thanks to everyone at the shop, esp at Wexford for everything, including use of the Computrainer room earlier in the year.
