The revised online model registration system worked flawlessly making grid preparation and reporting so much easier! Our model database will be revised and updated to include these models by merging the data automatically in a batch run too… exciting times! But I digress… back to the event.
Warmup
A few snacks with coffee to kick the day off…
…and a big thank you to JMSracer for adding Krispy Kreme to the buffet when he arrived!
