The event will have a couple classes, from mild to wild. Courses and classes will depend on what you drive and are comfortable with.
This is a non-profit event and all proceeds benefit youth, seniors and the physically disabled. Please answer up and let me know if you are interested. I need to have an approximate number of people interested in this event to get it put on the roster. This event is open to all California Professional firefighters current and retired.
