to celebrate their accomplishments and thank them for their
contributions.” Alberti added, “While we enjoy fierce competition at
every event, having legends of the sport on hand really embodies what
the WMDRA is all about… celebrating our sport, honoring the tradition of
competition, and setting new milestones. It doesn’t get any better than
this!”
