Six teams made it to the track on this overcast morning to exchange friendly banter and have fun racing Classic Stock Cars, Trans Am, Group 5 and 3L LeMans cars. Each racer ran three – 3 minute heats. The race began after the usual practice followed by a track parade and a few quick interviews.
Congrats to the three door prize winners Rob, Joe and Chuck, who each took home a set of Dart tires.
