[The Urban Saint]

I am just making everyone aware of this, I am not a member nor a representative of the ring bandits, I'm just a fan that is letting everyone know this.

So, those of you who don't follow the 24 hour of Nurburgring winners The Ring Bandits on Facebook, should probably reconsider, since their victory last week they have decided to host a 4 hour endurance event on the Spa-francorchamps track. They haven't posted any rules yet but a tentative date so far is either April 7th or 8th at 8 PM EST. So go check out their Facebook so they know people are interested.
