July

What's Hotter than July Mr. Wonder?

The 2012 NSSBC Rules Release Party Baby.

Slow days at the office...if anybody has anything to add, nothing will be spared. Happy Summer.

For the Record

Bravo NSSBC Rules Committee for the major 2011 Overhaul. It was a great way for up and coming teams to make their mark, and a good way for teams who have been nibbling in the Top 10 to come through and shine. Not to mention the fact that lateral/seismic/wind/hurricane loads have finally been addressed as a primary concern. Bravo.
