Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages. Summer is upon us and its time to go DRAG RACING!!! Saturday, July 10th the Gamblers Drag Racing Association is going to be hosting its 4th Invitational event at Great Lakes Dragaway as part of their historic Nitrous Street Car Brawl event. The drivers are getting hungry for that big CASH payout... $2000 to be exact is what 16 drivers will be running for and you better believe that it could be anyone's day to take home the cash.The last race saw another first time winner this season with Ken Kendall taking home the top spot over race #1 winner Steve Peterson. This race was filled with excitement as we saw number 1 qualifier Kevin Harrison (his second pole position in as many races) run an 8.604 and second qualifier, Jim Pydo just behind him with an 8.609. This entire field was only about a half a second off the leaders time. There were several runs that were right on or near that 8.60 index and some major upsets were seen. Sadly 2 cars had major issues with one car hit the wall and another scattering a motor down track. Both drivers are okay and the cars are repairable. We expect them back in the field for race #5 if everything goes well for them. In the end it was a great day of drag racing and the next event is shaping up to be even better!!! Expected are some new faces in to round out the field and the return of a couple of drivers that did not make it out to the last event.
Come on out and check out the action on the track. Gates open at 8AM... Qualifying starts around 3PM and eliminations around 6PM. Take the time in between to check out the drivers rides, grab some GDRA merchandise, watch some of the other events taking place, or grab yourself some good eats at the Great Lakes Dragaway concession stand. Weather is looking like its going to be perfect and what better way to spend a terrific summer day than watchin cars blast down the 1320???
Who's gonna take home their share of the cash? Come out and see for your self!!!
