Driver Bio Pages

If you haven’t noticed we have updated the driver bio pages and added a new page for each driver, this means we can add some more information about each driver, along with more pictures and other media if anyone was inclined to send it to us (site@rmmra.com). Additionally, we added a form that each driver can fill out to update the information here (this does not post directly to the site, it will be checked before being posted so there will be a delay involved).

If there is anything else you would like us to add, please let us know (email: site@rmmra.com)
