Hi Gang,
Mudcat here with another problem for our organization. A friend of mine plays bass for a famous band out of New York. They are playing in Wortham at the speedway on Saturday the 6th of June. They are looking for a venue for that Saturday night. This could be a CCSA sponsored event, the band is called Ten Man Push and they are the "official" band of motocross. In short, we need a venue, they have all their own equipment and lights including a sound man who travels with them. We need a go… Continue
