    Awesome turnout today racers!!!

    Today was the start of opening Weekend 2009 at GLD and the turnout was spectacular!!!
    100's of cars showed up and it was great to be back at the dragstrip again. I saw a lot of BCM'ers and we greatly appreciate your support. Hope you come back and see us again soon!

    Took a few pix in between racing, they are posted on the main page of the GLD website or you can see them here:

    You're mixing up cars.

    There were two orange challengers there today the one that ran 12's belongs to Dom Blasco, one of the owners of GLD. It's got a procharger on it. The other one ran 13's. And Sara Brown owns the GTO, she won. As least the race I saw. Her friends were driving the GTO at one point and they don't drive it like she does.

    youre probably right, i spent most my day in the staging lanes.

    I do know that the R/T ran a 5.7L GTO and beat it, i was in the stands for that.

    Im just happy this didnt happen so far this year.

    I took a pix of the ET board on one of the N/A Challenger's runs, it was a 13.61
    the Procharged Challenger was trapping around 118 MPH.
    Dom punked out on me. We were supposed to have a Challenger-versus-Mustang heads-up, he said he would go get the car in "5 minutes" but he never showed. That's ok, I'll get him with my '05 next time...

    I know what you're saying Jim, but we have "free racing" every year on opening weekend and this was a huge surprise to us to have so many racers.

    Nice to see you yesterday, Vette looks great.
