As I sit at my computer on this warm summer day, I am struck by the realization that we have arrived at the midpoint of the year. It’s hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. The first half of 2023 has been nothing short of “jam packed” for CVR.   This year, to date, CVR has hosted numerous coffee runs, a slew of DE and AutoX events, various special events, and our unforgettable Club Race!
