Congrats to the GDRA All-in Showdown Winner and Runner Up!!!




A job well done by Ken Kendall who for the 3rd time this season would take home top honors this time at the GDRA All-in Showdown. Don Mateicka would get the Runner-Up spot and the Semi-Finalists were George Mantis and Kevin Harrison. Each of these drivers took home a huge chunk of cash and prizes in what was the largest payout of the 2010 racing season. Steve Peterson grabbed the number 1 qualifier honors and his share of the cash. Congrats to all the racers of the GDRA on a great season!!! It was a fun year and we hope to see everyone next season. Stay tuned to the website for updates and happenings for the 2011 racing season as they are being worked on as we speak and there are sure to be bigger and better things in store for the GDRA.

Congrats to the GDRA Race #6 (Day 2) Winners!!!


Sadly rain prevented us from completing the event on Sunday, September 5th, 2010. With the event called and the Semi-Final round still not run, the remaining 4 drivers were given some options on how this could play out. 3 of the 4 drivers were unable to stay over and complete the event on Monday (Labor Day) so the final decision was to split the payouts equally. Each driver ended up taking home a nice handful of cash to complete their racing weekend.
