It’s a Rock ‘n’ Roll World

Newsworthy Races

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegas web site is up and registration is now open. The site is different from most of the other events in the RNR series, but maybe that’s just an interim thing. I can’t wait to see what the course is like later this year once there are bands along the way, [...]
