1992.
"We had a great turnout today,"
said Race Director Bruce
Springer. "We are now up by
over 200 participants in our first
three races when compared to last
year. Every wk we are attract-
ing new people from all parts of
the east coast. The series is really
beginning to grow thanks to the
efforts of a lot of volunteers and,
of course, Doe Masser."

races last season, was fourth in
