The 2011 Northeast Division Mini-con was hosted by the Mohawk-Hudson Region, in Saratoga Springs, NY. Our thanks to MoHud for being gracious hosts, and putting on a great event!
The Saturday night awards dinner was held at the Saratoga Auto Museum. The museum featured and exhibit of Racing in New York State, including the New York State Stock Car Association Hall of Fame. Some very interesting vehicles were on display, and it was fun perusing everything.
