Default 2nd Annual New Age GTO Showdown October 16th & 17th 2009 @ Cecil county,MD

2nd Annual New Age GTO SHOWDOWN @ Cecil County Dragway, Rising Sun, Maryland ~ October 16th & 17th 2009

Just like last year my friends have a private track rental for their Buick club on October 16th & 17th @ Cecil County dragway in Maryland and have invited all of us new age GTO’s owners to come and have our OWN race on Friday & Saturday. Buick’s and GTO’s will not be competing against each other. We will each be running our own event.

On Friday we will have an open test & tune all day 9am-4pm with an option to run in a gamblers race for an extra fee. We will be able to make as many passes as we want since it will only be us GTO’s and the Buick guys… and a few 7 & 6 seconds car testing for the shakedown @ E-town

Thanks for all the effort. This event was a great time last year. Couldn't have had a worse weather system blow thru.

Thanks again and see you at the EFI next week.

Sorry guys the weather did not want us to go racing @ Cecil this weekend

Everyone that has pre reg will be getting there checks back since the Buick club did not deposited them yet.

They are trying to figure out a rain date but not 100% sure they can get us one
