Greetings from NAMBA District 20

District 20 Director
It is tough this time of year to come up quality news and
updates, as our boating season ends in late September and
doesn’t start until late April. What I would like to do with this
article is provide you all of our 2016 Class Champions, a few
pictures from our banquet, and details on the new three race
series we are trying this year called “The Rocky Mountain
Shootout.”

bench racing.
