FLUORESCENT ORANGE IS THE COLOR OF THE SEASON.....
Just a reminder..... all participants and spectators, must wear orange when attending the events in Arcadia Manangement area. This is a Rhode Island Law, AND a good idea. Let's make sure everyone is safe. For those of you who may have extra orange, please bring some for people who may show up to watch the races.
I think the snow is about to fall...
