The Lincoln Johnny Lightning Race Club will host the Finals it just has to be the Second Sunday of the month as that is our meeting/race day. The only months we are not meeting/racing on the second Sunday upcoming would be July and December. Please let me know ahead of time when the Finals will be we will sponsor the first place trophy.
