The PDRA made its long-awaited debut at Summit Motorsports Park over the weekend for the inaugural DeCerbo Construction American Doorslammer Challenge. Of course, Mother Nature had her say and threw rain and strong cold winds at the festivities on Friday & Saturday that pushed the finals over to Sunday. In the end, records, upsets, and a few repeat winners told the story. Here are some pics of the winners and low e.t. setters from the event by Dave Oakes. A big thanks to Dave Reinking from Door Slammers Plus for letting me borrow a “big” lens on Sunday. – David Oakes
