And the report from the NODRAMA crew, "The 2025 NODRAMA season has finally kicked off. With 4 rain outs in a row for us, it looked like Mother Nature and Father Time were running away as points leaders. That is until event number 5 was on deck. Weather, perfect. Track, prefect. Crowds, perfect. And then...44 on the NODRAMA ladder to get one in the books. The deep rounds turned into the "Bob Show". With so many Bob members and only one Neil, one could only hope for the perfect storm. But, I digress...

Meeting in the finals was 'Screamin' Bob Seamen facing off against "I post too much on social media and won't paint my driver's side door" Bob Rizzo.

Coming out on top, scoring the first win on our 2025 season, Bob Rizzo! A great day with 6 rounds to take it all. At the top, Bob Rizzo, Bob Seamen, and Greg Lorsbach are the first to post at the 1, 2, 3 in 2025. Next up is event 6 on July 12th. See you there, and as always, Stay Tuned...."
