So, you posted this around noon already, writing basically the same info as the post above it. Someone reported it as a duplicate, so I deleted the post. Then you reposted it again... Try to make sure what you post isn't basically a repeat. Perhaps reply to your Holland meet thread instead

I was trying to edit, so I decided to delete it and restart. My bad, I had posted a car count because the report similar to mine didn’t have car count.
