*I cross-post these from my personal blog, so I am going to link the explanation to my blog if that's okay so people can get a better understanding of my goals, hopes, etc. with this project.
Also, since I'm back at college and having practice at 3:15pm every day, this might slow down a tad. Not a lot but well, I want to go all the way to at least late summer, then start periodically updating the races.

Mike Coffman
Rodney Davis
Gary Miller
Michael Grimm
