On October 29, the Greater Capital Chapter of NYSCAR hosted a marketing session which was also held at the Holiday Inn on Wolf Rd. in Albany. In addition to attendees from the Capital District, the session attracted attendees from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Long Island, Syracuse, and the Adirondacks.
