    Staying Connected To Other Parents And Your Racer:

? Parent Facebook Group for Racers launching in October 2017 – This is the primary way we communicate with you, connect you and encourage you. Because it is a closed group, you will need to go to the group page and request to join.  Make sure to answer all three questions completely to be accepted.
