"WELCOME TO DARF COUNTRY" 
Once again this year DARF has a great line-up of dates at all of the local Tracks. 
First off DARF needs to thank all of the Tracks & Promoters for supporting our Club & it's Members. They are the ones that make this happen.
Second, before you head out to the track, check your DARF cards to make sure they are current, Tracks will not honor cards that have expired.
Third, tell a friend or family member about what DARF has to offer them, just maybe you can get them to become members also. Check out the DARF dates line up here on the website & start making plans for your summer at the Tracks.
Fourth, should you experience any problems at a DARF event, rather than create a scene, please contact the DARF representative present at the event so the proper actions can be taken. Remember the tracks are honoring the club with DARF dates. Thank them & tell them how much we appreciate them.
