Stl Solo TnT 03292015

Annual kick-off test n tune with Stl Solo @ Family arena. Great event and went very smoothly. With events now $40/per, $45 for a tnt is extremely good bang for the buck. After a so-so first event with the CCSCC, the TnT was a good chance for me to get acclimated in the Mini again.…
