[Wichita-SCCA] My first solo...

[Guy Roberts]

One person I forgot to thank personally was Bryan Jones, who jumped in 
as Tech, because our original person that we had set up for tech had a 
last minute emergency and couldn't make it to the event.  So thank you 
so much Bryan for jumping in and helping us out!
