Hello everyone! We are back from our extended hiatus with a very special preview episode for the upcoming 46th Annual HOPRA National Championships in Aurora, Ohio from June 21st to the 26th! In this episode, me and guest co host Nick Kanan cover the basic overview of what HOPRA is, what the national championships are and notable story-lines coming into this year. We also make our predictions on who is going to win each of the National Championship and Support classes. Lastly we give our goals for the Nationals this year! This episode is dedicated to the memory of Tom Shepherd, Sam Heller, Mike Sidwell and James Kennedy. The Nationals will be dedicated to them as well, and they will be dearly missed by the H.O and HOPRA community.  The National Championships will be held at the Bertram Hotel in Aurora, Ohio at 600 N Aurora Rd. Feel free to come by if you are in the area June 21st-26th and watch the races! If you can't attend, the races will be livestreamed on the RPMs and Eddie Delfin's YouTube channels here (click each of the links then go to the Videos tab on the channel pages to see upcoming livestreams): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDxDKR_UdcS65Y1LIEFx7lA
