Gamblers Drag Racing Association Race #5

Saturday, August 7th the Gamblers Drag Racing Association will hold its 5th race presented by Angry Beaver Racing and Victory Performance Parts as part of the Nitrous Street Car Brawl at Great Lakes Dragaway. Sadly the last race was called due to rain prior to even getting one car down the track for qualifying. With all the racers ready to murder mother nature, they all decided to roll their entry into the August 7th event!!! We also had a bunch of GDRA regulars that we unable to attend that last race for one reason or another so that can mean only 1 thing for this upcoming race... THE LARGEST FIELD OF THE SEASON! That's right, we'll have a field of over 16 cars for this battle. We will run all cars that are entered and this will be a HUGE payout!!! Biggest one of the season and yes... its all CASH!!!

And remember all former True Street Drag Racing Association members, there is no membership fee with the GDRA, no points, and with rules as open as these, you ride is bound to fit in!!! We'd love to have you as racers and welcome everyone that is looking for a new place to call "home." So come on out and play with the association that has had the biggest CASH payouts in the Midwest all season long!

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!!!

Looking for a place to call "home?" See what the GDRA has to offer!

To all racers and fans alike... We have heard some sad news today. News being that the True Street Drag Racing Association has ceased operations effective Monday, July 26, 2010. While we appreciate everything that the True Street Drag Racing Association has done in the Midwest for the sport of drag racing, we recognize that there are racers that are now looking for a place to call "home." The GDRA would like to extend an invitation to the former racers of the True Street Drag Racing Association to come participate with us at our remaining events on August 7th, September 4th, and October 9th as an exclusive part of the Nitrous Street Car Brawls at Great Lakes Dragaway. While this might not be the same type of program you are used to running in, it opens the door to a wide array of racers with 3 rules... no Throttle Stops, no Delay Boxes, and Door Slammer Type Cars only!!! These events run on a .400 Pro Tree utilizing a Pro Ladder for qualifying and eliminations. The best part of all is the payouts you will receive, which are the highest paid in the Midwest for a 1 day event, are paid out 100% in cash at the conclusion of every event.

Worried about paying a membership fee to finish of the season this deep in? Not a problem, the GDRA does not have a membership fee!!! The only thing you need to race is your buy in which we require 1 week prior to the race. Reason being, you know before you even leave the house to head to the track... the exact amount you are racing for. There are no surprises once you arrive. There is no points system in place at this time so you would not be walking into an uphill battle starting in the basement. The biggest thing the GDRA offers is 100% transparency with its racers and as a racer with the GDRA... you do have a voice in how things happen here. This is truly an association that is run by its racers for its racers. When the racers speak... we listen and if changes need to be made we let you, the racer voice your opinion.

The GDRA would like to thanks Becky Wardlow and everyone that invested their time in making True Street what it was. We can only assume that in the future people will look back and remember everything TSDRA did for the sport in the Midwest. We only wish to continue to provide the best door handle to door handle drag race action in the Midwest in their absence. If you are interested in running with the GDRA or if there are any questions, please email us direct at CashIsKing@GamblersDragRacing.com and someone will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
