Texas is one of the most active states in
the National Senior Games organization. Participants who
place 1st or 2nd in the qualifying games are invited to
compete in the Texas State Senior Games Championship held,
this year, in Lubbock, Texas. TBi sent eight racers to
these games and five qualified (again by being 1st or 2nd
in an event) for the National Senior Games held in
Virginia.
