Even with the best planned event, we can't always plan the weather.
So, here's a Redo..

We had originally scheduled James for his shoot out at out convention, due to the weather, we only had a small turnout. And because of the incredible demand and our desire to make it up to you; our members, we're bringing James back for an incredible event at the Old Packard Proving Grounds in Utica.
