A huge mahalo goes out to the KRP Racer Ohana for participating in the 2012 Waianae Coast Community Christmas Parade.  This is the 18th annual parade's theme, sponsored by the Waianae Rotary Club and the Waianae Mall, was "Give Peace A Chance".  An aptly named parade during due to the events closing out the 2012 calendar...and our racers were there to support it.  Mahalo to all of the racers and especially to Buddy Kupau for spear-heading KRP's participation.

A message from Buddy Kupau: "I just wanted to let you know who was involved in making this day possible with my Big Belly Krew Racing team as well as my family. Without the support of everyone else, this day would not have been possible!!!!
Special thank you to the gang from Tonka Toy Racing, Manual Moisa and family, Wayne Smith and his family for supplying the impromptu float, Holly and Chuck Almeida, and everyone else for their help and support!!!! See you all next season!"

A big mahalo to Buddy and friends for sharing our racing aloha with the community of Waianae!

Here's the highlight video from the Grand Opening of the KRP Oval!  Mahalo to everyone for making it happen!
