It’s been a packed week on the ITM front which leads into a great weekend from Saratoga!
In addition to another insightful Friday Players’ Podcast, we had some great thoughts on playing the meet with JK and Sean Boarman. Also this week was as a demonstration of the Race Lens product with Matt Vagvolgyi emphasizing the action from the Spa.
